The Mont "Onla tunnel haft a length of nearly right miles, and all trains have to attain an alti tude of 4.248 feet above the sea level. The Arlbern la 6V4 mllea In length, with a holRht of 4.300 feet. The St. Got hard la 9 1-3 miles, with a maxi mum altitude of 3.788 feet. The Sim plon will have tho frreat advantage over the others that Its traftle has not to be taken to a proater altitude than 2.314 feet above the sea level, 0' 1.474 feot less than In the case of the St. Gothard. so that no costly ap proaches nor hel!oil tunnels are re quired to Rain access to the tunnel at Its north end nor will the haul age of trains bo no heavy as In tho case of the other tunnels. Tho work will at first ronslst of one single line tunnel, lined with masonry throiipn out, and one parallel passage 10 feet wide by 8 feet high, preparatory to a second tunnel plnced 6ft feet apart, axis from axis. When the traf fic necessitates a second tunnel It ear, be completed for about one-third of the cost of the flrnt tunnel. The ex perience gained during "the construc tion of the previous tunnels Is be ing turned to very good account, and Is resulting In a great saving of life, In much greatly abbreviating the period of construction. The men change shifts every eight hours, anj are brought out In trainloads. They are not allowed to enter the cold Al pine air when emerging from tho tun nel In their wet clothes, but are land ed In a covered building or stntlon, 1n which there are cubicles for chang ing their clothes, fitted with hot and cold douche baths.

Chew, of Indiana, assistant auditor of the treasury for the post office department, obtained his posi tion because of his name. The fact is that the assistant auditor of the treas ury department for the postofllce de partment spends from 40 to 60 days every quarter signing his name to war rants. Ho signs at the rate of B.ono or 6,000 a day. It can readily be seen that Mr. Chew can earn more money for the government by signing hlB name than could Edgar P.

Poultrymen generally admit not enly the value of It, but the necessity of its Use to secure tho greatest profit Id the production of meat or eggs. It contains a large amount of protein, the most costly element to buy, and the one so necessary to mnke growth or egirs. Chick and fowls of all ages like It, but It Is a concentrated fpod and must be fed carefully. Fttlnt flinaensi K o a. Make a dibble of a piece of fork handle about one foot long sharpened at one end.

Hold It asalnst the wldo of the hole with the forefinger of the loft hnnl and crowd the Btlck Into the ground, pressing the dirt nr;nlnnt the root. By this method the planter can set roof rupldly and the work Is well done. Farming Clny I.nnil. A clay farm of 100 or 120 acres should first be divided into fields of eight or ten acres, aul fenced so as to save as much farm ing land a possible. One field of soj should be plowed ench year for corn, putting on It all tho manure made lur ing the winter, plowing the coarse un der, and putting the fine on top of the plowed ground before harmwlng. The greater part should be seeded to wheat In the fall, by harrowing and drilling as soon a the corn Is In shock, an 1 using some fertilizer. From two to four acres should be kept for oats In the spring, the best of all feed for poultry and horses. The following year the entire field should be seeded to wheat, putting at least 200 pounls of some good fertilizer to each acre, sowing one peck of timothy per acre, and rcsowlng In-the spring with tim othy and ono gallon of red clover per acre. This field should be kept for meadow, two years, possibly longer. This plnu of farming should be con tinued In rotation from year to year. From one-half to one acre of potatoc-s should bo rale 1. There should bo a liirge tiuck-pntch of all Ktmlot of voire, tables for 1'nmlly uai with possibly some to fell. A farm of this size should have an orchard of three or four acres, of epples. peaches, pears, plums and cherries with nil tho smnll er fruits In abundance for homo use. The stock that shoull be kept on t'lla size and kind of farm should be threo good work horses, tiiroo or four good cows, several head of growing cattle, about forty good brood ewes, several heads of hogs, and poultry of all kin Is. Ewes are specially profitable on a small farm, since they may raise lambs for early market, quickly enrich the land, and keep down briars anil shrubs. As far as possible good shel ter Bhoul l be provided for all stock, as protection saves feeding, time and labor. Mulch fur Mntill Cnrrim. As early in spring as possible, or better still In the fall, put the garden plot in good condition by deep plow ing lengthwise and crosswise and fol low by harrowing. When planting time comes lay off In rows two feet apart, manure well with scrapings from the barnyard, poultry house a'.i.l cow pens. Hill up tho manure, mak ing Bharp, high ridges which will In sure good germination and quick growth;' plant In the usual way. When tho plants nre up, stir the ground once a week or oftener with hoe or plow. When everything is growing well, and up a few Inches from the ground, give a thorough final working with 'the plow and harrow, leveling the ground all over. Apply a light covering of straw, and leaves from the woods over tho entire plot, taking caro not to cover tho young vegetables. In a few days they will grow enough to allow another coat put on as before. Keep adding more a the plants grow above it, until the ground is covered three or four inches deep, when you can consider your garden work done for tho sea son. Vegetables will grow to perfection in a garden treated this way in spite of heat or droutn. Tho mulch hol)3 moisture and keeps tho burning rays of tho sun from the tender roots and prevents damage from heavy beating rains. There is nothing ho cheap and yet so valuable to tho garden au a deep covering of plno needles and leaves. Potatoes should bo on large, high beds, and covered with threo or four inches of mulch at onco. They will come up through It as if It were not there. With this treatment vege tables .of all kinds will flourish and grow, but weeds and grass have no chance at all. In tho fall rake the ctraw In between tho rows and rid go the earth over it. In tho spring you will find plenty of good fertilizer. Agricultural Epitomtst. t nratchlns; Khacla. Scratching sheda were brought to the notice of poultrymen some years ago, and there are niany poultry houses that aro not provided with this convenience or necessity even at this late date. There has been an errone ous idea about the scratching shed that should be brought to view. A scratching shed in Minnesota should not be the same kind of a shed as that in use In Missouri or Kansas, Condi tions of temperature and climate should govern the mothod of construc tion largely. Scratching sheds in a very cold climate will have to be more than a mere opon ahed. There Is no need of it being made as warm as the icostlnf quarters, nor aa warm as a hot bed, but there is a reason for Hi I being constructed so as to be comfor table for the hens. A scratching shed should be made light and roomy; It should be made with a great deal of floor space, and that space should bo covered with litter In which an Indus trious hen delights to scratch. Sheaves of oats will make a very good litter for this purpose. The hens will scratch the straw about for tho oats and gain a great deal of healthful exercise In obtaining the snme. Itlpe millet hay will also be found a good Utter for the scratching shed, and It will be sur prising how the hens will scratch for tho small needs of millet. When ob tained In this way they will do no harm, but a great deal of good. The scratching shed may not only be termed the dining room, but It. may be named the living room. liens are fed some good moss once a dny. In the morning or the 'evening, and what grain they get houl.l be fed through . the scratching shed route. The hens are kept busy ohtnlnlng It because their appetites are sharp and they wish a grain to appease It. Tho moro they scratch the better tho ap petite and the better tho food rH asHlm ilate.l. Tho better the assimilation of the food the more healthy the hens and the greater their aptitude to lay eggs and become profitable. We are of the opinion that scratch ing sheds should bo entirely Inclosed In some manner. The south nldn may be made of a combination for the best results. Poultry netting should com pose the south side of the Bhed, an 1 during stormy weather a large cur tain of muslin or Bonin other goods may be let down to keep nut tho snow. This will admit of light, an.l tho room will bo found airy. When ever tho sun shines there should be somo way of admitting It to tho shed. No roosting places should bo provided In this room for lazy hens to occupy. Keep up the temptation to Rcratch nid keep It comfortable. By comfortablu we mean that It should be built In whatever plan that will make them comfortable. In some localities It may bo necessary to make the scratch ing shed very warm, and the south should be for the most part construct ed of glass. Even then it must ho made roomy and airy so as to not tin piilr the health of the hen. Poultry Farmer. Vrrtllljiera ami Mnnnre. The nianngemont of the farm should be with the view of nmintnlning Its fertility. The foundation of farming Is the riches In the soil, and any nys tent of agriculture that Increases tho wealth of the farmer without reduc ing the productive capacity of the soil will be the correct one. Tho average crops of cereals, potatoes and grass la this country aro very low, yet cue American farmer has moro opportuni ties for securing fertilizers for his land than In any other country. In our gas works there Is Baved a large amount of sulphate of ammonia, nl tralo of soda is imported in great ship loads, tho ammonlates of the pncklng houses amount to a largo proportion, and the cottonseed meal supply is almost alone sufficient for our needs, and yet the materials men tioned are those for providing nitrogen only. This country also has largo phosphate mines, and but for the fact that tho required potash must be Im ported there would be no lack of the plant foods right at tho doors of American farmers for their use. In tho pn.t the farmer has not assisted himself In tho employment of fertil izers as he should, which accounts for the low crop averages. There has been a war between those who favor manure and those who ad vocate tho uso of fertilizers, the one clans claiming barnyard manure to be a "complete" ration for plants, while the othr- class contends that It is absolutely necessary to bring plant foods on tho farm In orler to recompense tho farmer for tho loss of fertility through the removal of the products of the farm that aro market ed. Tho fact remains, however, that this country has madfl but little prog ress 'In the matter of Increasing tho average yields, and tho matter da tervei consideration on tho part of Investigators. Ono error that has not yet been overthrown is that of suppos ing barnyard manure to be "complete plant food." There Is nothing on the farm that varies do much in qaullty as manure, for. while some manures may be as nearly complete as may bo desired, yet tho large majority of the accumulated heaps on farms are not at all complete. It la not altogether In the management ot tho manure that it value Is retained, but In the foods from which It Is obtained an 1 the amount of nhaorbent material used in Its preservation. It may safely bo claimed that'every year thousands of tons of barnyard manure are spread on land which is really not equal in value to tho labor required in the work of applying It to the soil. Wheth er in tho form of crude chemicals in tho fertilizer bngo, or in tho form of bulky mnnure, tho plant foods are the same, and tho farmer cannot real ize therefrom more than exists in tho material used.

It was certainly a most beautiful peach tree, und tho best thing about It was that Mildred Grey hud planted it herself, when sho was a tiny girl; she had tucked away a peach stone In tho soft earth, closo bodde the high bank wall which srpnratrd her homo from the Alden's, next door. Lucy Aldcu was her dearest friend nnd when the hidden stone put forth Its first shoots she was as delighted as Mildred. By and by the roots began to creep Into tho Aldens' yard, but the Blender sapling iiprang up on the Greys' side of the wall. Every year It grew more Interesting, und when It became a real tree, Its branches spread as much on one side of the wall as on the other. Tho girls were wild with excitement when the first blossoms appeared, but a sudden cool spell scattered them, and frightened away tho baby fruit, bo Ctiat when the' leaves came out lutcr on, Lucy and Mildred could only see one little hard green hall on an upper branch that gnvo any promise of be coming a peach. Then began an anx ious watching; It grew slowly but surely. When It wns ripe they wanted to pick It, but they afterward decided to let it fall of its own will, and whure It landed would determine its owner ship. , Every morning before breakfast, tho two girls hurried down to the wall to see what had happened over night and at last their patience was reward ed.. The peach, plump and rosy, lay on the wall between them. And It hud fallen exactly In tho middle of tho wall. "It's yours' Lucy," said Mildred, in a hurst of generosity. "No, it's yours, if it'se anybody's," said Lucy, not to bp outdone.. "You planted the tree." "But you lot it spread over in your yard. You must take it, Lucy; there'll be plenty more next year, aud. I want you to have the first." "But it isn't fair," objected Lucy; I won't take It" Aud bo, off and on, during the day, they held spirited discussions, but could coma to no agreement. Whn night came they covered the pcach with a goblet and went to bed to think it over; but in the morning they found that they were of the same mind, each generously wished the other to have It The peach, however, solved the prob lem; Its hot night tinder the goblet had cleft It In two, and as the girls lifted the glass a half fell nut on either side.
