Colonels and Judgiß don’t seem to make any better out of it in the. production of high bred pigs, than the more oom re on run of people Thus the experience of Judge Thompson, as master of oeren.jniflß with-a fine hatching of Polaud Chinas at Parr last fall has ju-t been duplicated by Col- Fred Phillips, in Rensselaer. Fred’6 swarm of little Poland Chinas ap. oeared somewhat sooner than he nud been led to expect, and before he discovered their ‘ appearance they had become so badly cbitled that the most careful nursing failed to keep any of th, in alive. They were not so many of them ns in the Judge’s big swarm, but they were of the noblest lineage iu the pig *trist cracy, and Fred bemoans their loss, eroviotisly. <-*

Thaopiniou ra'ly pf train dispatchers is that within a few years trains will be running on schedules slower than those now. The rate of speed at whiob the fastest passenger trains are now run not only very seriously interferes witi the operation of all other irains on the road but invites difficulty and uusa’isfaotory work on tbo part of every employe who his a hand in its operation. It is necessary to clear tue .tracks long before the fast trains are due, the freight (rains which earn the mo el a e of leu, delayed. -It is diffi cult to make the fast time, and winter makes it impossible to keep up the schedules as they now stand.
