It is often said that a railway train is the safest place in the world, and that We are never so little eXposed to accident as when we are on a rail- way journey. And certainly a 1001! at the statistics seems to confirm this statement, which, strange as it may ap- pear at first sight, is, after all, not SO improbable; for when we travel by train there are hundreds of men doing nothing but look after our welfare and FEW ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAYS OF GREAT BRITAIN. PI‘O"ide against all accidents, While when we walk the streets we have to look out for ourselves, or else take the consequences. It is almost incredible that out of 929 millions of railway passengers in the United Kingdom during the year 1895, only 5 were killed from accidents to trains, rolling-stock, etc., from causes beyond their own control. So, out of. every 185 million people who travel- led that year, only one 33 as killed through the fault of the rail“ a3' com- panies. The number of deaths of pas- killed from all causes. FOUR HUNDRED PASSENGERS were injured in accidents over which they had no control, or 1 in every ‘2. 1/2. millions; while 710 received injuries through their own fault. . Thus, the total number of. passengers injured that year from all causes was 1,110, or 1 in every 800,000. It must be remem- bered that all injuries, however slight, are included in these figures._ As regards injuries, they, are more numerous. So far we have refelfred ouly to ac- tual passengers by tram. rlhere are, however, unfortunately others who fall a. victim to the railwavs: but through A (\f\' no fault of the companies. In 1895 there were no fewer than 65 people killed and 33 injured while passing over railways at. level crossings. rl‘xvo hun- were injured. And, Saddest of all, there were 96 snicidesi . U“ 5‘: v vgv vv â€" â€"-___ It is gratifying to notice that, not.- withstanding the. immense increase in traffic during the last twenty years, the proportion of fatalities has on the whole. been steadily (iepreasing. Thiis in 1874,, when just half as many people travelled as in 1895 (viz.., 450 millions as against 900 millions), the proportion of passengers killed was 1 in every 5 1/2. millions (as against 1 in every 185 millions), and of injured, 1 in every 300,000 {as against 1 in every 2 1/2 mil- lions). ' n _ _ -- ‘ -â€"Anmr‘ ‘uvknn LLUWIO There are, of course, some years when the death-roll is very much in advance of. the average, as for instance in 1879 (the year of. the Tay Bridge disaster): but, on the Whole, the number of fat- alities is decreasing, and railway tra- velling is becoming each year MORE AND MORE SECURE. Every year the railway companies have to send 1n to the Board of Trade an ac- count of all train accidents (classified under twelve heads) for the past twelve months. The twelve classes of acci- dents, together with the number of pas- sengers killed and injured in each, dur- ing 1895, are as follows:-â€"- . â€"-AL:n]t\fiV mnni‘_ LL16 *UUU’ I..- v v- 1. From engines or vehicles meet- ing with obstructions, or leaving the rails, or from defects in the permanent way or works: 4 killed, 41 injured. ‘3.

From collisions between engines on trains meeting in Opposite directions: no accident. . . y . 8. From collismns at level-crossmgs of two railways: no accident. A- L--_â€"4‘ 9. From trains wrongly run or turn- ecL into sidings, or otherwise through facing points: 2 ‘injured. 10. On inclines: none. 11. Trains on fire: none.. 12. Miscellaneous: none; .W'e see from the above that it is in or near stations that the most accidents occur. the most fruitful causes of dis- aster being the too rapid entry into a station, and collisions at junctions and within fixed signals at stations or sid- ings.‘ .

Coon/u All this safety to the public, how- ever, is unfortunately attended with a heavy death-roll of railway servants. So far we have dealt only with passengers, and seen their comparative immunity from danger. But there is a dark- er side. In 1895 no fewer than 442 railway servants were killed and 2,650 melt with injuries of one sort or an- 0*. er. \ Of these, however, only twelve were killed and fifty-three injured in acci- dents inquired‘into‘ by the Board of _L__ ---Aâ€"-.- “A‘- T‘ifi‘ifi‘ijfififi'fm "greater pert met their ate in shunting and Similar opâ€" erations.

A. Palm. But as we intimated, the conditions must be right. By this we mean that it cannot be applied on a bare, rolling or uneven surface, with- out danger of loss when rains come with the surface frozen. Even on mod- erately hilly or uneven land with the surface covered with a growth of some kind, it is not best to risk Spreading manure during the winter, but on land covered with, say, a heavy growth of clover or rye, such as we have at pres- ent, we feel safe in taking the chances of the loss of any appreciable amount of fertility. \\'e have neverifailed to receive good results from the early application of manure during the winter. There IS a twoâ€"fold advantage we believe in ap- plying manure early. Very few farm- ers have a shelter under which to throw the manure from the stables, and as a natural consequence more or less loss must necessarily occur from leach- ing and drainage in the yard. If tak- APPLYING BIANURE IN THE \VINâ€" en directly to the field where it is to be used and spread on a mat, of clover or other growth, the drainage goes in- to the ground where it is wanted. The fertilizing elements oi barnyard man- ure are too valuable to be allowed to go to waste and once gone they are never recovered. l \Ye have been for several years haul- 1 mg a good part of our manure direct-1 13' to the field from the stables and al-‘ ways aiming, when possible, to scatter tt evenly over the surface, as fast as hauled out. ,Early in December we hauled several loads onto a piece of ground on which there is a heavy growth of second growth clover. \Ve mean to plant potatoes on this piece of ground next season. And as the boys: hauled the manure. to the field and pitched It Off Into piles, the "01d gent" staid there and scattered 1t; not a‘ very heavy coat, but an even applica- tton all over the partially decayed clov- er. We have little fear that we shall lose much if any of the good ot that manure. ’l‘he clover has so loosened the sell and so completely covers the surface that whatever is washed out by the rains during the wmter Will have little. chance to get away... . Another advantage we ttnd, 1:09, 111 scattering as it is brought to the held, 18 that we can cover a larger area With the same amount, and still get as good results, A given amount ot manure tresh trom 'the stables with all ot its retained and evenly scattered )Vtth only a moderate application, Will gtve a lar- ger return than douhle the quantity of that which has lam 1n the yard two or three months and lost its most valu- able part through cit-repeated soak- ing of the wmter rains. _ 1. notice a large majority of farm- iers are more careful to scatter man- ure as hauled out or soon atter, than they used to be.

DURHAM“ CHRONICLE, Feb. 18, 1897. sensitiveness to weather conditions, con- siderable attention at this time is a requisite of successful turkey growing. Best authorities agree that turkeys should be housed in Winter, and should also be allowed a fair amount of free- dom on warm, sunny days. \Vhere but few turkeys are kept, they may be housed with other fowls and receive the same attentiom but are much more 1i- able, to disease. A layer of six inches or more of forest leaves or straw, fre- quently renewed, should be placed mp- on the floor of the turkey house. Not secondary in importance is the matter of; feed during the winter months. Turkeys should be neither overfed nor starved. Remember that the natural food of the turkey in its wild state consists of insects, worms, grass, berries and seeds. This diet can be approximated by the use of meat scraps, grain and soft feed. An ex- cellent breakfast is a hot mush made of wheat screenings, corn meal, onions or other vegetable matter, such as tur- nip tops, which grow on turnips in the cellar, or mashed potatoes, all mixed. with boiling water, Two or three times a week season this with cayenne or black pepper, and occasionally a lit- tle salt. Do n01; give the turkeys any more feed than they will clean up. Then throw a little grain broadcast over the litter on the floor and let them scratch for it. Fresh water in clean vessels should be available all the time. and ample supplies of ‘broken bits of crockery or gravel. “When obtain- able, it is a. good plan to keep sC-I'US - ed oyster shells where the turkeys can g-e§_at them. ‘ ‘ . x . The noon feeding may be light, as it IS not well to keep the turkeys too fat. Many breeding turkeys are over- faJt in the spring and frequently die at this time, asa result of. liberal feed- ing. Old turkey hens should be fed clover, and less staichy food in the lat- ter part of winter and they Will give better satisfaction. Throw them: some grain at noon, and just before sundown give them 911 the hot Whole grein they can eat. Scatter the grain, which has been thoroughly heated, well over the floor and let the turkeys fill their crops. This will afford them needed “fuel” for the long, winter night. Neglecting to salt the cows regular- ly is often a cause of the boutter not com ing. If. the seed corn has not been select- ed it should be done at the earliest bp- portunity. Milk to churn easily and make good butter should not be over thirty-six hours old. This is a good time to out upa supâ€" ply of wood for a year. Pick it up and 195 Lt season before using. ' .Sunli-ght is a great tonic and health giver. N o stable should. be without a Window on the sunny Side. Keep a watch on the rabbits or they will girdle the fruit trees, especially when there is snow on the ground. The early pullets should begin lay- ing now and should be given the best of care and feed, that they may make good Winter layers. v It. is a good plan to seed all com and potato land to rye if not intended for wheat. Land loses fertility if allowed to remain bare through the winter. There has been too much plowihgâ€" too much washing and waste of fertllity of hilly lands. Plans should be formed which ultimately result in such lands betng seeded dewn oftener and pastur- e-d more. Did you ever think of. it, thata good apple tree was worth $50? At any rate, with wise cultivation and good busi- ness management of the crop, it will pay 8 1‘ cent dividend on that amount year a ter year with but few exceptions. \Vhenever you find yourself able to do so, buy a paiir of Angoras and run them with your flock, if you want real protections from sheep-killing dogs.
