It was in Colorado, one of the wild est and roughest railroads I know of. At the bottom, the roadbed was forced In against the opposite moun tain by a noisy little river that ran some thirty feet below. There were three tracks on the mountaTn side, and, standing on one of the three, the other two could be seen. The road was stocked with Baldwin engines, and to facilitate the climb ing of the heavy grades they had small driving wheels. I was fireman on 07, which was used in the passenger service. She had the largest drivers on the road, and they only measured forty-eight inches in diameter. Matt Irwin was the engineer. Sixty-seven had just been housed after a run. I was filling the oil cans, and Matt was hauling off his overalls, when Mr. Fox, the Superintendent, climbed into the cab. After a few commonplace remarks, he asked abruptly: "Matt, how soon can 07 go out?'' "Just as soon as I can pull on my overalls,'' was the reply. "Her steam hasn't lecn blown out yet, and her Arc hasn't been drawn." The Superintendent looked at both of us very hard, as though he was sizing us up, and then he said, awfully solemnly: "Matt, you've been with us a long time. You've been tried and not found wanting. To-night we will call upon you to perform the most dan gerous piece of work yet. Will you do it?" Matt's ej'e's looked as large as sau cers in the dim light of the cab. I confess I was trembling myself." "What is it?" he asked. "There's been a big mistake made in the higher offices but that is not for us to criticise and there is but one way to rectify iU" Here the Superintendent's voice dropped to a whisper. "Oncliundrcd and fifty thousand dollars in gold has got to be in, 13 before midnight, to connect with the eastern express, and you're the man selected to take it through." Old Matt showed his astonishment with his eyes, but never opened his mouth. The Superintendent merely glanced at me, and turning to Matt, con tinued: "A lone engine might create sus picion, so we'll make tin a wild freight. They'll all Ikj emptied. Hack down to the offices Ix'fore you couple on, and we'll put the safe un der the coal in the tender.'' That was all. He jumped off and disappeared. For some time Matt and I sat star ing at each other, then he slid off his seat and said: "This won't do! Supper, Harry supper! We haven't much time to lose. It only lacks a few minutes of 6. Be back before the quarter." The wind was whistling among the cars, whisking the dust and papers about, while in the south a big black cloud was coming up, resplendent with chain lightning. Altogether, the night promised to be unusually bad. I was back on time, but Matt was there before me. He had lighted the shaded steam-gauge lamp, and stood scanning a small piece of paste-board. "What do you make of this, Har ry?" he asked, as I climbed up Reside him. "I found it pinned 1 my cushion." On it was scrawled, with a lead pen cil, the words: Danger! Don't pull tho wild freight to night if you value your lives. A True Friend. "I make it that some one besides the Superintendent and usknows of it," I replied, the cold shivers beginning to chase each other up my spinal column. There's danger ahead!" "Aye, there is danger ahead, my boy," and old Matt spoke softer than I had ever heard him before: If you want to n Til go where you lead," I replied quickly, knowing what he was going to say. Then we'll go through if it takes the wheels out from under! Ring up the wipers!" And, without waiting for the host ler to run the engine out, old Matt backed her on the turn-table, where wipers swung her around, and then we backed down to the offices, where four trusty men soon had the square safe under the coal. A few minutes later we were coupled on to a half-dozen empty freight cars and a caboose. There's your orders;" cried Jimmy O'Connor, the conductor, shoving up the yellow sheets of tissue paper. Old Matt looked them over, and we began to move out of town. "We've got a clear track," he said, looking across at me, and then he drew up the corners of his mouth, and I looked for a quick run. Before we reached the outskirts of the town the rain began to come down in a perfect deluge. Great drops, mixed with hail, and in such quantity that the dry drains were soon transformed into raging creeks. The wind howled and shrieked above the rumble of the train, and threatened to lift 67 off the rails. When the telegraph poles began to snap off Matt's face began to lengthen. Good night for wash-overs," he said. "And wash-overs are as bad as wash-outs!" It "was all down grade, and all the steam used was to run the air pump. I had only to keep the fire alive. Eight miles down we ran past a - small station where a freight train was Fide-tracked. It had perhaps a dvifi can. I'jtttefokw w reached 1 I saw a a man dart in between twd of the cars to escape the headlight. I thought him either a train man or a tramp, but have since changed my mind. We were half-way down the Haver sack grade, with a straight stretch of track and a long curve before us, when Matt looked across and said: "I'm afraid the little pasteboard was only a scare. Jf " There was a flash of light behind. the rattle of coal) and Bob Duncan the forward brakemanj stodd in cab. His face Was as white as a "Shut her down shut for heaven's sake!" he freight's broke loose, aawris coming down the grade tWoinlies a hiiHutci" Before ybu collldraiap your fingers rny face was as pile as Bob's. Matt Irwin never lost his head, and, with a coolness that comes to few men in time of danger, he asked, "How do you know?" "Seen her by a flash of lightning. O'Connor and Billy have jumped. And then he swung out on the step and disappeared "Jump, if 3011 want to Harry," called old Matt. "I'm going to stick to her." I gave one look out at the Egyptian darkness and concluded that I would stay with old Matt. "Keep your eye peeled for her," ho cried, and commenced to let 67 out. "There she is!" I shouted. And there it was, sure enough. It had come out of a cut. One of tho boxes was on Are, the flame streaming back half a car length and cutting through the air like a meteor. "She's four miles behind," said old Matt, and coming four feet to out one. If we can get around the curve there's a show of her humping." And then began that terrible ride. He hooked 07 up to the first notch and then opened the throttle. With seven cars behind us we shot down the grade of 175 feet to the mile. Sixty-seven set low in the frame; but every low joint rung her bell for an eighth of a mile. She jumped and swayed and threatened to leave the rails. The wind strieKcd around us like a thousand demons, and the rain poured against the windows in a per fect stream. "There's danger ahead and death behind," shouted .the old engineer. "If the rain loosens a boulder and drops it on the track " I sh uddcred. There was the blasted pine that marked the curve. The next second we reached it. For a moment I thought it was all over. Then 67 righted. There was a sharp jerk. Wc forged ahead faster, and our seven cars cleared the road bed and went down the bluff with a' crash that was heard high above the storm, leaving a clean track for the runaway behind, that was coming as swift and sure as death. If the runaway got around the curve, the probabilities were that we would be knocked from the track into the river. Wc were very near to the bottom now, where the roadbed followed the river, and the engineers were cau tioned not to run over fifteen miles per hour. But orders werenot respected that night. Wc were making thirty miles per hour when a flastToC lightning showed me that dark string of cars coming around the curve. The blaz ing box was 011 the opposite side and invisible. Old Matt gave 67 the steam so sud denly she seemed to jump from un der us; but the runaway was not more than half a mile behind and coming with the sj)eed of a tornado. There was no getting out of the way. In a moment it would be on us. I imagined I could see the black mass coming down upon us in the darkness, when a heavy rumble was heard, followed by a tremendous crash. The rain had loosened the rock and dirt overhanging the track, and it only needed the jar of 67 to set it in motion. Something like 10,000 tons of debris rolled on to the track directly behind us, and into this those runaway cars plunged. But wc did not find this out until afterward. Matt kept 67 up to what was a tremendous speed on the track. She plunged and rolled and rang her lcll continually. A dozen times I thought wc were going into the river. We pulled through all right, but that was my last trip. When I got off the engine my hair was streaked with gray, and now it is white as snow. For some time it was thought that tbe runaway cars had broken loose, but the company became suspicious and had the matter looked into, with the result of running down some tough characters, who finally con fessed to cutting them loose with the intention of ditching us between Haversack grade and the bottom, and securing the treasure. Old Matt has retired from the road, but I do not think that cither he or J shall ever forget the run of 67. They Oaeht to Bm Tmkam Oft A sealing schooner that stopped at one of the villages of the Attu Island, the most westerly of the Aleutian group in the North Pacific Ocean, was able recently to give a little re lief to the suffering natives, number ing about 150. Several years ago it was a great place for sea otters, and when a fur company established a trading post there many Aleuts were attracted to the island, but when the company moved its store the natives were left there. The island is bar ren, and the native must live on fish and sea lions, but as they have neither beats nor hunting outfits the supply is small. They make clothing from anything they can get, being thankful for gunny bags that may be left by vessels that pass occasionally. One woman was found who had been on her back for three years on ac count of a broken leg, the bone not having been set. The Indians cannot get away, and must soon perish unless relief be sent.

Measaaeld aad stlieae. tjm!erftralaw; he question of undcrdrainage is one thai the farmers of the West are begin ning to study with fcoHslder,: able interest. A great many are prevented from taking hold of it by reason of its great cost. A remark made by n Racine County farmer in a farm institute at at Union Grove, Wis., is pertinent to this point. He said he had fifteen miles of tile drain on his farm and every rod of it had been paid for by the extra produc tion of the farm in consequence of un dcrdrainage. Every farmer who has land calling for drainage should mako a trial. Let him commence With a small outlay at first, near the outlet of the ground. Watch the effect, and if favorably impressed try a little more next year. A great many never make any trial whatever. They may have lots of sour, unproductive land, but it stays so year after year. This is not good business farming. Money is never lost that is prudently in vested in making the farm more pro ductive. For Threw Horena. It is very easy to use three horses abreast in farm work with the proper evener. The one shown is easily made and very simple. The two horse evener is used as usual so that, besides the third whifflctrcc, only one extra piece is required, the back evener to which the load is attached. This is made long enough to give the usual interval of about six inches be tween the middle and third whifiletrcc. The hole to which the clevis for the load Is attached should be one-third of the distance from the hole for the two horse evener and that for the extra whiffletree. This gives the third horso but one-third of the load. To bring the third whifiletrcc up even with the other two a couple of chain links may be inserted. The reins for three horses are very simple and we show a pattern, says the Farm and Home, which has had practical use. It is seen that the two reinsgo straight over the middle horse. The side rci ns are adjusted so that one pull adjusts the other two. Another method, sometimes used is to use double reins and have a third one attached to the extra horse, a short tic rein bringing him into the other two when neces sary. Deep PIowIbe. It has been demonstrated by re peated experiments, that deep culti vation of land and thorough. y pulver izing it adds greatly to its fertility. Of course this result is not attribut able to the merely mechanical opera tion of deep ploughing, but to its opening of the soil to a free circula tion of the atmosphere and increasing its capacity to absorb those elements of fertility which the air contains and which arc precipitated to the earth by every shower that falls. The ceaseless decay of vegetable matter furnishes a constant supply of carbolic acid gas, and the decomposition of animal matter supplies -the ammonia, so essential to vegetable growth. Both are, to a great extent, lost to the farmer, unless his soil is so deeply pulverized as to enable the rain to carry them far enough below the sur face to prevent their ready escape and fix them in the soil. Sowlajr Clevnr Feed. A farmer who always has success in growing clover, tells us that he has no trouble in getting it to catch and start growth. This has frequently been the trouble with those sowing. He says his land has considerable sand, which in dry seasons is the. worst to catch upon. His method is to soak the seed a day or two, and then a bushel of land plaster is mixed with each bushel of seed. The seed plaster is mixed thoroughly and then sown on fine friable land, and lightly harrowed. In this way he gets a good catch, and the clover grows rapid lj He thinks that plaster thus used is of great value to the clover crop, and may always be relied on to bring it on rapidly. LIVE STOCK. Compelling; Stock to r'nt Fond. Animals can prolwbly be wintered or kept at other seasons on food that contains barely enough nutrition to sustain life. But whenever this is the fact no profit need be expected from stock thus fed. All the advan fat a ! gja t- w- rf tage to the farmer from feeding stockqjfact, nothing js come from feeding more than is needed for barely retaining the same condition. There must be increase either of flesh, milk or wool before there can be any profit, and this re quires generally good feeding. Stock Kotos. Do tou enjoy all your food without salt? How about your stock? Oats and corn ground together make a good ration for colts and calves. Ik a cold, open shed it will cost 1 twice as much to feed store swine as it would in a place that is tight and warm. Sheep require the constant care of some one familiar with their needs and habits if they are to be kept in large numbers. The Shropshire sheep is one of the mutton breeds, and gives a good fleece besides. If well fed, pigs that are six or seven months old will mak nicer meat for the farmer's table than that which is older. Soke farmers boil pumpkins, corn, 'bran, potatoes and apples together in one mess, and the fattening pigs eat it till they almo&jtffcst. Tins quality oriPXfwool ?ou sell dominate the price received, and Hon rations any more than good meat. TuRxirsaro excellent for thrifty pigs. Milk is good for the sow as it is for the pigs, hut give all tbe water they will drink also, and don't put it in the milk, put it in the empty trough.

The tibmaiid now iS fdf.carlr matured lean, or well marbled meat: Grcdfc bulk in fat is unprofitable, and feeders have come to understand this, and now cater to a demand that pays bet ter and at the same time furnishes a class of beef that gives greater and niorti general satisfaction, THE DAIRY; 'ri Making Cheese on m Small Keala. For the manufacture of cheese on a small scale are required a cheese hoop about ten inches in diameter with a follower, a hew wadh-tub find il flres& The milk should be taken perfectly' fresh from the cow, and strained through a cloth into the cheese tub. ASilcaUdilor milk will make one pound of .cheese, the precise quantity used at a time should be noted. Fart of it should be warmed, so that the temperature of the whole, when in the tub, shall be raised to 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The rennet, thoroughly cleaned and pre pared, should be then added. enough being used toproducccttrdling in about forty minutes. . As soon as the curd will break smoothly, it should be cut with curd knives into squares and then allowed to stand until all the whey runs off. Part of this whey is then heated, the mass of curd to lifted and broken into minute pieces, and warm whey is added until the temperature of the whole is raised to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. When cool this operation is repeated until the curd becomes crumbly, easily falling to pieces when pressed in the hand. The whey is then all drained off, and the curd put into the cooler and cut up with curd knives; when the tem perature has fallen somewhat it is turned over and left until it assumes a flaky condition. When nearly dry salt is added in the proportion of four pounds to ten pounds of curd, and the whole is mixed thoroughly with a curd mill. It is then put iuto the band age inside of the hoop and is put on the press. Arter remaining there from two to four hours it should be taken out and turned. Tho next day it may be taken from the press and put on a shelf to cure. While curing it should be watched closely to keep all flics from it, should be rubbed over daily with warm melted butter, and daily turned. It is fit for use from six to eight weeks after it is pressed. Tlia Com meat Cow. Try feeding and handling the un pretending common cow for a few weeks or months as you would a two htuadrcdjdollar thoroughbred, and see whether she docs not respond so that you will change your mind about sending her to the butcher. If she does not rescind at the butter-tub, she will in meat, and then the food is not lost if the cow is sent to the shambles. Hoard's Dairyman. Hot for Daliytaea. It is the poor cow that makes dairy ing unprofitable. If your herd do not average over 100 to 125 pounds of butter annually, you are doing busi ness at a loss. Feed the winter-calving cow roots, ensilage and plenty of wheat bran. As she cannot have grass, give her the next best things. Selling milk sells the fertility of the farm. Selling cream (the skim milk being left and fed on the farm) preserves the fertility of the farm. There is no form of dairy work that leaves so little responsibility with the producer as the cream gath ering plan of factory butter-making. Experiments have been made upon the effects of givimr cows hot water to drink instead of cold. The results are satisfactory. It has been proven that when the cows drink water at a temperature of 45 degrees (contigrade) they yield one-third more of milk than when they drink cold water. THE POULTRY-YARD. Watering the Uena In Winter. Unless the hens can have plenty of it, they cannot produce eggs. In the winter season, when the drinking vessels become frozen up with ice and arc liable to crack from cold, the mat ter of providing water becomes a diffi culty. Wc all know that a cold draught of water in winter chills the body, as it must be warmed by the body after it is drank; consequently, ice-water causes a loss of bodily heat. As the heat is produced from the food, all losses of heat arc losses of food. Kow, it is just as easy to water the hens at regular hours as it is to water the large stock, says Farm and Fireside, and the best mode of so do ing is to use wooden troughs long enough to allow all the hens to drink at tbe same.time. Early in the morn- j-ing, at noon and before night fill the troughs with warm water, allow the hens to drink until they arc satisfied, and then throw out the water tbatri remains. Itfthis manner the troughs, will be kept clean, thehenswJll learn to drink at regular periods, and the warm water will invigorate them. In so invigorating, er will assist in warding off the cold when the hens come off the roost in; the morning, with the thermometer below zero, than a drink of warm water. Mneh In the Breed More la the Food. There is much in the breed, but more in the feed, of any kind of ani mals. If chickens are kept for eggs, they should be given a variety of food, and most of it should be nitrogenous. Refuse beans, peas, oats., etc., cooked and mixed with scalded bran are good. Green food should be given when pos- l51Dic Cracked bones should be kept tin the yard all the time. Avoid all fat-forming foods, such as corn, as they are not egg-producers. Fresh water, exercise and nitrogenous foojLjJ together with warm Quarters iavtne I I winter,-.will make any breeslbTchick- ens lay, Mtnougnpeivy, siuggisn breeds will notfroance eggs in equal number with the more nervous, active ones. Fia Eggs are flavored to a certain ex tent by the food on which the fowls feed. This is shown by feeding them onions, which sometimes taint eggs so that they are unpalatable. To have eggs of a fine flavor the hens must nave clean food. Those fed on putrid meats and decayed anlmai abstancaa J ; iHrabfff MEDJCAW MENTION.
