EARLY RAILROAD DAYS

First Charter in Country Obtained in 1822 Sails Attached to Engines. 1CCIDENTS WERE VERY C01OI0N Barrier Cars as a Remedy Diffi culty in Getting Wood and Water. In 1S22, the first charter was ohcained for a railroad in the United States. It was for a line from rhilaiclphla to a point on the Susquehanna river, but was never built. On" the nlouncement of the project some one isk ed one of tin? Baltimore newspa-rx-rs. "What is a ran road, nnynow: The etlitor was fomnl to reply that bo did not know, but that "perhaps some other correspondent can tell." Seven, rears later on the little woodni track along the Lackawanna creek the I'.rst locomotive had its trial. The ?-ne-Iinent was far from successful. and for n number of years afterward the train on most of the railroads continued to te drawn by horses. The first locomotive on the Baltimore md Ohio had sails attached. So did the cars. These sails were hoisted n hen the wind was in the ri?ht direction so as to help the locomotive. The rivalry tetween the railroads :'i:g locomotives and those using horses was very bitter. In August, liO an actual trial of speed was held between a horse and one of the pioneer locomotives, which did not result In favor of the locomotive, the race was on the B. & O., the locomotive ieing one built by Toter Cooper, who also acted as engineer. The horse, a gallant gray, was in the habit of pulling a car on a track parallel to that used by the locomotive. At first the gray had the better of the race, but when he was a quarter of a mile ahead Mr. Cooper succeeded in retting up enough steam to pass the horse amid terrific applause. At that moment a kind slipped from a pulley and though Mr. Cooper lacerated his hands trying to replace it, the engine stopped, the horse passed It and came in the winner. As there were no brakes on the early trains, they used to stop and start with jolts which threw the pas sengers across the car. The coupling was with chains having two or three feet of slack which the engine In starting took up with a series of tierce jerks. The shock on stopping was even worse and "never failed to send tho passenger flying." There were no whistles in the old days. Signals were given by pushing up the valve on the dome by hand and letting the steam escape with a loud hissing noise. On the New Castle and I'renchtown railroad when the signal vus heard the slaves around the sta tion would rush to the arriving train, seize hold of It and pull back with all their might while the agent stuck a piece of wood through a wheel. There were so many collisions and explosions that some Southern rail roads Introduced wfcst they called a barrier car between the locomotive and the passenger coaches of the train ThU barrier car consisted of a plat form on wheels upon which were piled six bales of cotton, and It was claimed it would, safeguard the passengers in two ways It would protect them from the blo ving up of the locomotive and would form a soft cushion tiion which the passengers could land in the event of a collision. There is no record of how this, experiment worked out. Horatio Allen states that when the South Carolina railroad was complet ed. with Its 100 miles of track, oira tlon over such an extensive line was then unprecedented. In making ar rangements for this unusual undertak I-.ig one of the first things that occurred to him was that the locomotives would I?ave to run at night as well as day, and in the absence of a headlight he built on an open platform car stationed In front of the locomotive, a lire of pine knots surrounded with sand, which furnished the requisite illumination of the route traversed. On most of the other lines no Substi tut for headlights were used. The trains traveled slowly through the dark. Night trips, however, were avoided as much as possible. The first headlight on a locomotive was used by the Boston and Worcester in 1S40. The original American locomotives were nearly all wood burners, and dur ing a protracted period, before the In vention, of spark arresters, the flying sparks cause! a great amount of dam age and annoyance. Interwoven with this difficulty was a necessity for using smokestacks many times larger than those now in use too high indeed to pass unJer overhead bridges or the roofs of covered wo Mien bridges. To overcome tins uilliculty the smokestacks of many of the locomo tives were jointed or hinged so tha they could be lowered when trains were proceeding over or under bridges. This natuM-lly greatly increased the danger of setting tire to the wooden bridges and it was customary for a watchman to follow every train over or under the bridges, carrying a bucket of water for the purpose of extinguishing fires Notwithstanding this precaution the burning of bridges was a common oc currence. On most of the early railroads the cars were at first entirely uncovered being in fact merely piattorm cars with a row of seats along each side, The passengers were entirely 11 n pro. tected from the.su.i, rain, smoke or cinders. A passet. ger who took a trij over the Mohawk Valley railroad when this compaiij- had fuelled its line between Albairr and Schenectady thus dcscriltes his experience: "They used dry pitch pine for fuel, and there being 10 smoke or spark catcher to the chimney or smokestack the volume of black smoke strongly impregnated with sparks, coal and cinders, came pouriiV back the whole length of the train. 1-hich of the passengers who had an umbrella raised it :s a protection against the smoke and tire. "They were found to be but a momentary protection, for I think in the first mile the last one went overboard, all having had their covers burnt elf by the flames, when a general melee took place among the passengers, each whipping his neighbor to put out the fire. They presented a very motley appearance on arrival at the first station." Telegraphic service available for

railway service was r.ot established until about 1SÖ0. In the absence of the

olograph and the lack of any estabished system of signaling the early railroads adopted novel methods for conveying; Information. The New Castle and Fronehtown railroad had a primitive telegraph in oitoratlon as early as 1S37. A descrip tion of it says that "the ioIev were of cedar, quite like those now in use. and had cleats fastened on them, forming a sort of Jacob's ladder." The cirator would go to the top of the pole forming his station and with his spy-glass sight the next sta tion in the direction of the approach ing train. If the train was coming and the signal showed a flag, it meant that all was well, and the operator would pass the sigml along to the next station leIow. If a ball was shown, and no train in sight, , it signified an accident or a delay of the connecting steamboat. These signals were methodically exchanged until an understanding was had all along the road. The facilities furnished by the rail roads were at first much more fully appreciated by travelers than by the shipiers of freight. The speed of the trains, amounting at times to as much as twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, was a source of unabated wonder to th. passengers, who had hitherto traveled on the slowly moving canal boats and stage coaches. In the matter of freight traffic the railroads were at trst unable to comIete with the canals. Of a prominent Massachusetts railroad it Is said that a motion was made at an annual meet ing to let the privilege of carrying freight on its lir.rs to some recponsihl2 Ierson for $l,r00 a year. There are many accounts of the piti ful state of impecunlosity to which some of the railroads were reduced. Cash being exhausted, and receivers' certificates having not been invented, when o;f.ations proved unprofitahle there was no basis for credit. Men were sometimes put on tho ten der with a sawhorse and saw, and when the engine ran out of wood rhese men would take up their saw and cut up a new supply of fuel from the near est woods. Often the passengers woul:l get off the train and help in the cutting of the wood. The railroads were often too poor to pay for the fuel thus secured, and there are many stories In the old news. pajK-rs of encounters between train crews and the fanners who caught them cutting down their trees. The complaints of the high-handed meth ods of the grasping railroad corpora tions, their defiance of the law of the land and the rishts of others, sound strangely familiar to-day.

Her children and grandchildren and great-grand -children expostulated ' with her. but she remained firm and declared she was going to marry the man, says the Boston Herald. "Why, you're too old." said they. "You are losing your faculties. You cant see. If this man was on the other side of the street you couldn't tell him from anyone else." The old lady said she was golnjr to marry him. "Now, we'll put the man on top of tho barn, and you shall stand in the kitchen door.

A woman, carrying a small dog In her arms, boarded street car In New York, says a writer in the Evening Post, and earnestly l-ought the con ductor to tell her when they reached 41id street. As she seemed unusually anxious, he said he would. At the first r.iop they made after leaving 72d street she glanced appealingly at the other passengers. At the next stop she half rose to her feet. "Is this " "Fifty-ninth!" called the conductor. At 50th street she stumbled forward as if to escajte with the foremost, but the conductor laid a detaining hand ujton her. "Not jet, madam. I told you that I would tell you when we get there.' "How soon sha'i we get there?" she asked, breathlessly. The conductor looked wearily at her. "I will tell you when we get there, he repeated. At last, looking pointedly at her, he shouted loudly, "Forty-second street! Forty-second street!" The -woman clutched her dog and, standing up, lifted him to the window. "O Fido," she said, almost tearfully, "look, look, Fido J Tnats 42d stree; where you were ltorn." An I-'rror of tbe Poet. Love cannot die, the poets say, And ports ou'ht to know.

How does your neighbor do the thing which bothers and perplexes you? Ever take time to study other people's methxls and find that you could improve 011 your own? If not, you have something to learn. Always speak to farm animals when working around them. Children should be taught to do this, especially, as It Is one of the greatest precautions against accidental injuries.- Of course too much talking can be done. In which case It loses Its force with the beast. The Irrigation of land dates back to the time of Egypt, yet to hear some people talk about Irrigation in the West one would think it an entirely new thing. Nevertheless it's no goldbrick scheme, but a business proposlu'..n that calls for a little careful thought. It Is a mistaken idea to think that cold air is necessarily pure air. Many persons have the idea that because their houses are cold In the morning that the air Is fresh, while the very op posite may tie true if the windows have been elosed during the night. This same doctrine applies to stables where1 stock Is kept. Cold air is not necessarily purer than warm, vitiated air. The following points' "should be kept In mind when sorting apples for storage: (1) Only the better grades should be stored. (2) They should be stored as soon as possible after pick Ing. (3) Only "hard rlie" fruit will keep well In cold storage. (4) A uniform temperature of 31 to 32 degrees F. Is best. (5) They should be put on the ruariiet as soon as they reach their highest maturity or before. A mid winter variety Is best marketed In mid winter. (G) Apples with color do not, as a rule, senhl as readily as other kinds. The Mammoth Black Twig is an Important exception. (7) The quality of the fruit Is maintained better In storage when the fruit is wrapped. Soy Dran and Cow Iea. The complaint Is sometimes made that the soy bean does not enrich the soil to the same extent as does the culture of the cowpen. Judging from the chemical composition of the two crops, says a bulletin by the Indiana Station, It seems possible that when both crops are removed from the soil tbe soy bean carries away a greater quantity of fertility because the grain Is so much richer iu nitrogen than the grain of the cowpea. If, however, both crops are used for green manuring, their chemical composition cannot produce a wide difference In soil Improve ment. The higher nitrogen content ot the soy bean seed Is offset by heavier yields of green material In case of the cowpea. Studying Soil. y In selecting land for certain pur poses, and unless one has a kuowdge of the character of the soil, there may be a heavy loss in consequence. It can be laid down as a fact tha where we find hardwood trees flourish ing tbe eoll is rich and in such section the climate Is healthy. Such small grains as wheat and oats wll yield good crops in the land where the sugar maple, the beech and the white and black oaks grow. A wet sollj Is Indicated where we find willow, poplars, birch, red mapie, black ash and elms. By drainage such land is often made available for farm purposes, but It Is hotter for grass than either grain or fruits. We find a strong, rich soil haul to work, but of great fertility when once brought under cultivation, where the hickories, buckeyes and black walnut grow. The chestnut thrives best In a light thin soil, a soil adapted to the growth of com, rye, vegetables and small fruits but which, unless strongly fertilized cannot grow good crops of wheat or oats, or the general fruit trees. Soils nre classified as loamy, clayey sandy, chalky and peaty. A loamy soi is best adapted for most purposes, while the others can be Improved by supplying such mineral constituents as the soil lacks. For a clayey soli, sand and lime or chalk will make up the deficiency. On a sandy or gravelly soil It will require day-gypsum or loam. It Is rather expensive to get a clayey soil In a fertile condition, but who well -manured such soils will yield im mense crcis. 1Vm!Jii t'tiMle ltlt Hoi;. Feeding steers profitably without hogs following the cattle on the aver ige farm in the corn belt depends upon various conditions. All of us know that hogs are a large source of profit in beef-making and that they naturally go with cattle when fed on corn. an especially so where the cattle are 2 years o'd and over and lire fed shelled or ear corn.

In feeding steers 2 years old and

over without hogs the waste could be materially reduced by grinding the corn, and I have known of several lots of cattle fed in this way without hogs that made money, but they were goexl, well-bred steers, well bought, well han dled and went on a fair market, and were well sold. Young steers under 18 months old will carry along fewer hogs than older cattle even If fed shelled corn, there fore the waste would be much less in feeding young cattle without hogs. From my experience and observa tion. If I fed cattle without hogs I would feed young cattle, fattening and marketing them to weigh from 800 to 0Ö0 pounds, and I would griiul the corn fed to them after they reached CÖ0 pounds. Of course there would be con siderable waste in this case, as one shote to four head of these cattle could be carried along nicely, especial ly when these young hogs ran on grass with tie cattle. C. B. Smith. The AVeanliiK Colt. Weaning time is a very critical pe riod of the colt's life. If the ceVit is sot back at this time it will mean a loss of size that will never be made up. If properly handled, however, there need be ip sacrifice. In the first place the colt should be eating grain long before it is weaned and the more It can be persuaded to eat the better. "VYe never fear overfeeding of colts up to the age of eight or ten months. While sucking the dam the amount of grain It will eat will be very small, yet the returns from this feed are very. good. Oats are of course the best feed for oolts and if there Is any kind of stock on the farm that it will pay to feed high-priced oats to this winter it will be the young colt and the amount of feed they will eat will be very small compared with the benefits accrued. When changing to dry feed the colt is very often trou bled with constipation. Occasional feeils of dry bran or bran mash will be very beneficial In relieving this condi tion. Wean the colt gradually, don't chop off its milk ration all at once. We have always trieel to let the dams do the weaning themselves, allowing the dam and colt to run together in the pasture, making things as easy for the brood mare as possible. When cold nights come put both of them up In the barn. Have a strong halter and rope ready for the colt. Then when winter comes the colt will bc broken to stand well In the stable and if It has become gradually used to depend on dry feed It will be weaned and halter broken without ever having caused any great trouble or without having damaged Its growth In tl least. Cotton Seed. From what a half century ago were worse than rubbish heaps, more than a million tlollars a week now come. The story of this "find" reads like a romance. Before the war the disposal of cotton seed gave the ginners great concern. It was usually hauleel away somewhere to rot, or dumped into a neighboring stream, where it soon became a nuisance. The old laws of Mississippi and other States provided severe penalties for ginners who did not dispose of it In such a way that it would not be a menace to public health. To-day the uses of cotton seed are so numerous that the census office has published a diagram showing the courses which the four parts of each little seed may take. These are classified as "waste," "Unters," "hulls" and "meats." The waste is still waste, even though that characterization of anything now leads a fugitive existence. The Hilters :ire used In cotton batting. The hulls may go in three directions into fuel, the ashes of which are used as a fertilizer, although this Is now regarded as too wasteful ; Into fiber, of which paper is made ; or, com bined with cottonseed meal, into an excellent food for cattle. But the kernels serve the most varied uses. Besides making cake and meal for cattle, they are readily convertible into a crude oil, from which, according to mixtures and processes, it may emerge as oil for miners' lamps, "com pound lard" and cottolene, "butter and salad oils," "winter yellow oil" and soap. The Invasion of other Industries by these cottonseed products would of Itself make a long story. ' The olive orchards of 'Southern France have suf fered much. Advantage of I'nderdralnage. In Farmers' Bulletin No. 1ST, United States Department of Agriculture, C. G. Elliott gives an interesting resume of the advantages of removing water downward through the soil instead of allowing It to run off over the surface. Thoy may be briefly stated as follows : The surface soil Is retained entire Instead of the finest and most fertile parts being carried off with every con siderable rainfall. Any plant food In. manure or other fertilizer deposited upon the soil is carried Into It with the water as It percolates downward from the surface, and so becomes thoroughly incorporated with the soil. Ilainwater as it passes through the soil serves a most useful purpose by dissolving and preparing crude soil material for the nutrition of plants. The soil having been well prepared, is at all times during the growing sea son in reaeuncss ror tne growtn ot plants, su h growth not being hindered by stagna.it water or saturation. The frcst goes out earlier in the spring, so that the planting season opens one or two weeks earlier than In the case of soils affected by surface drains only. Where tiff clays nre found the soil is made more porous, open and friable, and roots penetrate more deeply than they do Into surface drained soils. The effects of drought are diminished, as has been found by experience, owing to the enlarged and deepened soil bed, and to the more favorable condition of the surface for preventing excessive evaporation of moisture. It aids in making new soil out of the unprepared elcmients. since it permits a froei tr'i trance of air ami atmospheric heal, 'vhicii disintegrate soil material hitherto unavailable for use of plants. Stubborn and refractory soils, when di alned, arc frequently so changed in texture ami mechanical structure that they become easily managed and respond to cultivation with abundant crops.

The Dowager Queen Margherlta cf Italy has been expressing her disapproval of "race suicide" with no less 1 frankness than President Roosevelt. Not often Is a ciueen int'rvnewed; less often Is a royal Intervi .-w more than a collection of perfunctory phrases, po lite, but Insignificant. Yet Queen Mar .gherlta has been saying: A childless family is Incomplete. There Is a poetry and a pathos about childhood which appeal to every right hearted woman. Most women, though they may not be able -to put this idea Into words, feel it They have the maternal instinct. Hence the remoteness of race suicide. Women show their Intellectuality by rearing healthy and great children, Just as much as they do by writing books or painting pictures. The wife who deliberately refuses to bring children into the world must have some thing wrong with her moral make-up, I am very pleased to know that there is a movement im the United States in favor of large families, and that Presi dent Roosevelt has put himself upon record as favoring them. European women have begun to look for light to their sisters of the United States. On the subject of woman's "emanci pation" Queen Margherlta is equally outspoken : I am absolutely opposed to any ex travagant theories of what is called the emancipation of women. In what ever condition of life a woman may be placed, her first duty is the negative one of not giving up the qualities that distinguish her sex. Above all, she should guard against developing the trait of men. A blending of ancient reserve with modern independence would give us the ideal woman. FOUND A WAY To He Clear of the Coffee Trouble. "Husband and niyself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condition that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and I hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickuess was due to coffee and after .some dis cussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle, because of the powerful habit. One day we bean about Postum and concluded to try It and then it was easy to leave off coffee, "His fearful headaehes grew less fre quent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last' he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it too. "Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing DÖ lbs. before I began to use Postum.
