Thirty thousand employes of the New York Central railroad will receive in creases in pay. President Hill of the Great Northern has announced definitely his purpose to retire from active business on July 3 , 1007. 1007.Western Western lines met and refused to ex tend the selling dates of homeseekers' ex cursions to include the first and third Wednesdays in the mouth. The Attorney General of the United States has issued an opinion that it is illegal for railroads to issue reduced transportation to men employed in the government work of reclamation. Only one other big road has so far adopted the pension system. The Illinois Central has had such a plan in operation for more than five years and has found that it worked in every way for the bet ' terment of the service. . An agreement fixing $50.000,000 as the price to be paid for the properties of the Union Tractioa and Chicago City 1 tail- way companies , in case the city decides to purchase them , has been reached be tween the companies and the council's traction committee. The committee will recommend an ordinance for said pur chase , and Mayor Dunne expressed his approval. E. H. Ilarriman , who is just now much in the limelight because of his financial coup in gaining control , of the Illinois Central and thus becoming mas ter of 29,000 miles of railroads across the continent , representing a valuation of $2.000,000,000 , gave to a Chicago reporter quite a remarkable interview. On bein asked if he wss ambitious to become r. financial king , he said : "I would give i- all up to-morrow if I could. " Contrary to the opinion recently expressed by J. J. Hill , Mr. Harriman said he thought w had enough railroads and what we waiit- ed was the development of the territory through which the railroads ran and im proving the lines to the highest point o. efficiency. Former President Fish of the IHiuo Central , writing for the New York Jour nal of Commerce , predicted n great imluF . trial crisis , and declared that Wall .strce was now the plaything of cliques am pools. The Illinois traction system has an nounced its intention to compete witl the Pullman Sleeping Car Company , an ; has already placed in service on the linr between Bloomington and St. Louis , vi : Decatur and Springfield , two trolle. sleeping cars. There are twenty berths. MfflEg a- , -,4 > - 'A ilwji ? Annual L.OSKC.H Due to Iii.secta. If the power of the mosquito had not been proved to us bcj-ond u doubt , we would be Inclined to regard the es timate of $700,000,000 annual loss to our farming interests caused by in sects , which has been made by the Do- partnient of Agriculture as too start ling to be true. The following table shows the basis of the calculation : Total . . $5,551,000,000 $595,100,000 Natural forests and forest prod ucts 100,000,000 Products In storaga 100,000,000 Grand total $795,100,000 Such an immense sum being well worth the saying , the department has In its employ a large staff of men who are studying the life history of the pernicious Insects to find out where tLey are vulnerable. The work has been going on for some years and much progress has already been made. Tha cotton worm which formerly levied an annual tax of $30- 000,000 on the cotton crop , is now con trolled by sprays ; it has been proven that the ravages of the Russian fly which sometimes have reduced the wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and In Indiana 60 per cent besides greatly impairing the yield of the remaining acreage , can be considerably checked by planting wheat at seasons when the fly Is not so rapacious ; the coddling moth is controlled by arsenical sprays and $20,000,000 worth of apples saved as a result The orange and lemon orchards of California have been relieved of the white scale which threatened to de stroy them , by the importation from Australia of the ladybird , a natural enemy of the scale. Many other in stances could be given of. the wisdom of watching the insects. Drr Earth , an a. Disinfectant. It Is well known that fine , dry dirt is one of the best of absorbents and dis infectants. It Is also plentiful , and costs nothing but the labor of han dling. It makes excellent bedding , if covered over with a few inches of straw , and It really keeps the cows clean , even when used in the stalls without straw , as it is easily removed from the hair with a brush. A stall bedded with dry earth can be cleaned out In a much shorter time than when the earth is not used , and , as dirt ab sorbs the liquids and gases , quite a saving Is effected in that manner. Its use goes beyond the stall. As the sta ble should be cleaned daily , quite a large quantity of dry earth will be used in the course of a year , and it (7ill ( necessarily be added to the heap Itself , yet its presence therein will louble the value of the manure by pre senting loss of fertilizing material. It is a better absorbent than straw or : orn stalks , and is easily handled when the manure is hauled to the fields. Four-Row Corn Murker. The following suggestion , which ieems a good one , conies from a farmer rho has built aud used one. He says : 'This will make four marks at a time .a ridges or in furrows. To turn at the snd of : rows , pull gang pole out of hole , ay it back , fold up outride runners , ind you have just two runners to turn , lie same as an ordinary sled. The ketch will clearly show the construc- ion of the marker. On stumpy ground , FOUR-BOW MABKEB. alse the outside runners as when turn- ag , and go right along. Dissolved Bone Black. When bone black Is treated with sul- > huric acid the insoluble phosphate vhlch it contains is converted into sol- ible phosphate , says a Virginia bulle- in. Dissolved bone black contains rom 15 to 25 per cent of available ihosphoric acid. In this form it is one f the most valuable phosphatic fertil- zers. The question is oftenasked , Is .vailable phosphate from dissolved tone better than that from dissolved ock ? It would be well , therefore , to tate In this connection that available ihosphoric acid has the same value re- ; ardless of its source. Millc Fat. Of 319 samples of whole milk analyz- d by a Canadian station , forty-five rere pronounced adulterated and unfavorable than the results obtained in previous years. Twenty-nine & ; uu- ples of cream examined showed per centages of fat ranging irom 12.03 to 33.01. The author believes that the following standard should be estab lished in Canada : Whipping cream not lers , than 25 per cent fat , and table cream not less than 17.5 per cent. Alfalfa an a Weed Killer. Probably no other crop , without a single exception , presents so many characteristics of value. As it is stud ied more and more , and as new experi ments are made with it iu different capacities , its wonderful capacities be come more and more manifest. A very eminent authority has discovered that it Is a weed eradicator of unfailing power. This will seem like contradic tion to readers who have been cau tioned about weeds , and which will prove more destructive to alfalfa than any combatable influence. Neverthe less it is strictly true that the plant is the greatest destroyer of weeds known. This comes not so much from any qual ity contained In the alfalfa plant , but from the inability of the weeds to en dure having their lieads cut off so many times in summer close to their feet The most strenuous weed soon will succumb to this hursh treatment , while the alfalfa plant will thrive all the better the more it is cut. If weeds can be kept back from choking the young alfalfa plants until they , the al falfa plants , are tall enough to be mowed , the question of weeds in the particular parcel of ground Is settled. Therefore , it is wise to select a weedy piece of ground for the alfalfa field , but before sowing the seed every pre caution should be taken to kill as many weeds as possible. This can best bo done by simply following the oft-re peated injunction to thoroughly pre pare the seed bed before sowing the seed. If this be done , and the tract harrowed and rolled after plowing at a time when the tiny weeds begin to show green over the field , and again just before time to sow , there will be the cleanest field on the farm before the year is out. There are many weed- infected farms and many farmers who have despaired of ever getting rid of the weeds. Alfalfa suggests the means of riddance , C. M.

A circular by the Illinois Station em phasizing the importance of studying the production of individual cows con tains records for one year of eighteen dairy herds in Illinois , Including 221 cows. The average production was 5- , G1G.99 pounds of milk and 226.G3 pounds of butter fat The best herd averaged 350.17 pounds of butter fat and the poorest 142.05 pounds. The best ten cows averaged 388.75 pounds of butter fat and the poorest 10,109.42 pounds. It is believed that at least one-third of the cows in the ordinary herds are practically unprofitable. A marked improvement was observed in herds where grading had been prac ticed. It was found possible to remove five cows from a herd of ten and there by increase the profit $7.02 per head. Farm Jfotes. There Is no sensible reason why half as much wheat again may not be had from an acre within less than a gener ation of time. One-fourth of the dairy cows of the country do not pay for their feed , and more than half of them do not return any profit In nine months 4,184,181 dozen eggs , h valued at $865,437 , were exported from tl tla the United States , double the number a : sent out during the same period last B year. The Agricultural Department's an nual report says the corn crop can be increased by one-half within a quarter of a century , and without any pretense that the limit has been reached. 8l 8ltl Equally feasible is a 50 per cent In tl crease in the crops per acre of oats , tlTi barley , rye , buckwheat Potatoes , Instead Ti Tit stead of growing less than 100 bushels t ) per acre , should double their produc IS tion. tion.The The cotton farmer and planter could d double -the .present crop of two-fifths of CJT a bale per acre , and the feat would T need nothing more thnn demonstrated and well-understood principles of farm OFF Many women suffer in silence and u \ \ drift along- from bad to worse , knowing ' f.v1 ing- well that they ought to hc.ve /I immediate assistance. How many women do you hnow who arc perfectly well and strong ? Thecause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement vthich manifests itself in ccpression ol spirits , reluctance to go opywhfrfi or do anything , backache , dsayg ag1 sensations , flatulency , nervoufaniss , w- and sleeplessness. These symptoms are- but warnings that there is danger ahead , and un less heeded , a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable MISS JULIE FLORENCE WALSH result. The best remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country bas received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medi cine has such a record of cures of female ills. Miss J. F. Walsh , of 328 W. 30th St. , New York City , writes : "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in restoring my health. I suffered from female illness which caused dreadful headaches , dizziness , : . ' 1 dull pains in my back , but your medicine soon brought about r. change in my general condition , built me up and made me perfectly v.ell. " ' Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints , such as Backache , Falling and Displacements. Inflammation and Olcera- tion , and organic diseases. It is invaluable in preparing- child-birth and during- the Change of Life. It cures Nervous Prostration , Headache , General Debility , and invigorates the whole system.
