RAILROAD HEAD RESIGNS
Marvin Hughitt, who has been president of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company
112 for nearly 24 years, has given up that position to rf/,
rf/, ~"v accept the chairmanship of the board of direc
l ffl'' ' I l ° rs " r ' w ' lo ln his seventy ; third
7w. \ year, is ln many ways one of the most remark-
SE*to able men in the railway service. There probably
*4af I is no man in the railroad world today who is
7 more widely known and yet about whom so little
lj ' s known in detail as Mr. Hughitt. This Is the
J result of a lifelong policy of doing things rather
* Vm than of talking.
%uJr. ■ J" J He was born in Genoa, Cayuga county, N. Y.,
V ' n *837, am ' hegan his career as a telegraph oper
ator at Albany for the New York and Buffalo
Telegraph company in 1852. In 1854 he located
in Chicago and worked as an operator for the Illi
nois and Missouri Telegraph company. Mr. Hughitt entered the railway serv
ice in 185 C, and until 18C2 he was consecutively superintendent of telegraph
and train master of the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago at Bloomington. From
18C2 to ISG4 he was superintendent of the southern division of the Illinois
Central.
It was during the latter period that Mr. Hughitt performed an operating
feat that has never been surpassed. The government suddenly called upon
the road to move a large detachment of troops at a time when the road
was flooded with traffic. The force became somewhat demoralized at the
magnitude of the problem, whereupon Mr. Hughitt took his place at the dis
patcher's key and performed tho task without interruption to traffic, at the
expense of 72 hours of continuous service. When he awakened two days
later he found that he had been promoted to the position of general superin
tendent of the road.
In ISiO Mr. Hughitt left the service of the Illinois Central to become gen
eral manager of the St. Paul road, and a year later George M. Pullman
Induced him to become the manager of the Pullman company. Mr. Hughitt
in 1572 accepted tho position of general superintendent of the Northwestern
railroad, after which his rise to the presidency was rapid and was marked
by the constantly Increasing importance of the system in tho western rail
road world.
One of the most remarkable things about the chairman of the North
western's board Is the fact that at tho age of seventy-three he is able to do
and does a more strenuous day's work than most railway presidents who ara
15 years younger. The fact that he came from sturdy stock, there being
five living generations in the Hughitt family, with the fact also that he
took the most perfect care of himself, accounts for his remarkable activity.
FRENCH REPUBLIC'S MASTER
" The great railroad strike in France brought
more than ever to the notice of the w-orld a re
markable man. On the reassembling of the cham-
her 0 ' deputies Premier Brland created Bome
thing of a sensation by declaring that he had
jglfegiay i—-*u proof, through confessions of the leaders of the
/jff&fk, mm recent railroad strike, that there was a deliberate
to ruin France by violence, anarchy and civil
\ 1 '' I Briand, now prime minister and master of the
HP viOl French republic, was nobody ten years ago. At
i thirty-five he was an outsider, and, worse, Beern
| Ingly a failure even as a lawyer. Suddenly ho
willed, and all came easy to him. Easy is the
' word that seems to characterize him now and
V■ , Vrr" , -ft J then.
Born ln St. Nazarlne, he conquered a degree of
law. Would he have been content to plead party wall cases, marry an
SB,OOO dot, play the violin, sing admirably, beat them all at billiards and talk
polities? He was not of the ruling set of St. Nazaire. Possibly resentful,
possible great-hearted, he certainly felt for the workinguien, who at once
understood him and swore by him.
Buying a second-hand press ln Parts, ho took it from the freight office
alone with a horse and wagon, and with one boy put It together, set the type
and launched the Democracy of the West. Briand excited great animosity
of the ruling clusses, and so, for one reason or another, he got himself dis
barred as a lawyer.
He quit St Nazaire, his career apparently broken at the start, and began
to write. Paris socialists were edified by the young stranger's grasp of their
subjects His articles ln the Lanteme became at once noted for their clear
ness and boldness. They expressed the discontented worklngman to him
self—as if it were the worklngman who wrote them.
He walked into the sovereign office of French deputy, first In 1902, again
In 190G, and now, as simply, he has walked Into the cabinet—and put himself
at its head. No one realizes how he does it. All happens tranquilly, without
fireworks. Ho steps through cruel difficulties without effort.

IMPROVED BARN COMBINES
UTILITY AND CLEANLINESS
How an Ordinary, Old-F«sbioned Structure May be Easily
tind Cheaply Changed Into Up-to- Data
Sanitary Building.
All realize that a barn to be ideal
must combine both utility and clean
liness. The sanitary condition cannot
be obtained to perfection in basement
barns, and so, recognizing this fact I
have drawn plans to show how an or
dinary, old-fashioned basement barn
can be easily and cheaply changed
Into an up-to-date barn; one which we
will be proud to ask our neighbors to
inspect and one in which we can pro
duce milk that will sell for a pre
mium, writes W. A. Cooke in New Eng
land Homestead.
The barn as it stands today is a
common, rectangular, farm barn with
a basement for manure and hogs;
with a driveway to the floor above on
which we find the cows, horses and
sheep. Above are the lofts with loose
board floors through which the chaff
and dust are constantly sifting to con
taminate both milk and cows, for we
know that dust is an ideal place for
the growth of all bacteria, especially
tuberculosis. Let us add an ell to
this barn for the cattle with- no stor
age room above. This ell should be

on the same level as the basement
floor of the barn, the basement hav
ing been cleaned out and a cement
floor put In. The cement floor should
be continuous throughout the barn,
having it level and without obstruc
tions to hinder in the sweeping.
Sliding doors divide the main barn
from the ell. The cows stand facing a
ten-foot feed alley with a low two
foot manger, in front of them, and a
one and one-half foot gutter having a
six-inch drop behind them; four and
ont-haif feet are all6wed for the
length of the platform . Hetweon the
gutter and the wall is a three and ono
half foot space which gives ample
room for cleaning. The walls are
plentifully supplied with large win
dows so the barn may have quanti
ties of sunlight. The manure pit Is
at the south end of the barn, Just to
the west of the large doors at the
east side of the driveway and connect
ed with the barn by a door and a
short alley In a stave silo, with an in
side diameter of I*J feet, and a height
of 25 feet, giving a capacity of 90 tons
which Is sufficient to give us succu
lent food for 200 days. An overhead
track connects all parts of the barn
bo that either the feed or manure car
can easily do the work. •
In the main barn we tlnd five horse
stalls, four calf pens, a bull pen and a
large storage bin for roots. We also
tlnd a hay-bay connecting with the
upper floor so that all hay for stock
Is easily pushed or unloaded Into It.
The overhead track comes through
the doors from the ell so that feed
can be easily loaded onto the car. The
grain which Is on the second floor
may be loaded by means of a shoot.
The horse stalls are supplied with
Iron hayracks and grain boxes which

connect with the second floor from
which the feeding is done.
On the second floor of the main
barn ts a driveway from end to end
with hay-bays on either side. The
grain room is also located on this floor
so the grain may be hauled up, mixed
in the room, from whence it is shoved
into the feed car. Between the grain
room and the east wall Is an open
space in which are the openings for
the horse mangers. Inclined drive
ways at both ends enter the barn
through doors 14 feet wide and 18
feet high. Above the doors are scaf
folds so that all space may be utilized.
The hay is unloaded by means of a
horsefork running on a track to all
parts of the lifts. The roof at pres
ent is a square roof, but were I to re
build I should certainly put on a
French roof as the storage capacity
is greatly increased at but a slight
advance in cost.
Paint will be considered a very
necessary adjunct to this barn, so that
it may harmonize well with the rest
of the farm. Resides the beauty part
the barn will last a great deal longer.
The approximate cost would be $2,800;
this means buying all the material
and labor at present prices. The two
floor plans are given herewith.
FARMERS NAME
THEIR PLACES
Glvea Sort of Diznity and Air
of Permanence to Farms and
Is Always of Great
Con venience.
(By C. 8 MII-L-ER.)
I am glad to seo so many farmers
naming their places. A name over
the main gateway or on the gatepost
gives a sort of dignity and air of i>er
manency to the farm. A farm name
is always a great convenience to trav
elers because few of our country
roads are named and a farm cannot
easily be located except by name.
I know some farmers say It is a
silly and sentimental practise but I
do not agree with them. I do not
think much of a man who is not
proud enough of his home to give It a
distinctive name.
In the south nearly every planta
tion Is named and these names carry
with them something of the true spir
it of the love of rural life. If we
give our farms a name we will think
more of them and our children will
always associate with tho name some
of the pleasantest memories of thelf
lives.
