Th9 department of agriculture U iprorlng Its value constantly In man; Varajrs, but to none more definitely and ' .clearly than In tbe encouragement trt American youth to adopt the cultlva Hon of the soil as a cureer. It Is TltaJly essential that the children ol farmers should themselves till the land their fathers and their grand fathers have tilled, says the Washing Aon Star. They ore potentially th (but farmers. If they move to the Klty to learn trades or to enter the professions or to drift Inefficiently (through life, somebody must take ft.be! r places to grow the crops essen to the feeding of the people. A -dangerous tendency exists toward th -nmlcatlon of the small farmer and the substitution of the syndicate, 01 nl large Individual holder of land "This destroys competition at th wource of the necessities of life. II tends unmlBtukably to higher prlcei uid to the Increase In the number ol nion producing Individuals. Only by making the farm attractive and profit Able can any headway bo made tatalnst this clty-drlftlng disposition, "With Its Inevitable consequence ol dangerous concentration. Tho telo BAone, the electric car, the rural free delivery and to some extent the good .roads movement have all contributed to lessen tho disadvantages of rural existence. Now comes sclenco, lead tog to an Increase In the profits and 7n the dignity of farming. It Is lm jvjrtant that the competition among 'the boys In the south which has just ffceen brought to so successful a con clusion should bo extended Into all ' parts of Uio country. Where Is the psychologist who can Slve an explanation of the different wnys In which the weather affects ports? There are baseball nnd foot rbll, for Instance. Doth are strenuous xames, yet one flourishes like a green imj tree In the good old summer time, ao matter how hot, and the other "thrives only in a frosty atmosphere Flayers and spectators seem to be In the same boat. When the sun shines ithe hottest the heroes of the diamond tare warmed up to their llmberest and their best, while the lookers-on occu-IPj-tng tbe bleachers Just roast and are ksppy. Hut let a cold blast blow cross the field and baseball shrinks 31e a delicate flower touched by Irost On the other band footballers "want It cold and raw and really pre fr a near-zero temperature and ' a flurry of snow, If they can be had. Such conditions appear to put "gin gw" Into every brawny member ol 'the eleven. And the crowds on the Xr&Bdstand forget all about tbe weath -er while watching the wonderful do tags of their favorite players. In tbe matter of dress we have iallon upon a decline since the days -hen the Duke of Wellington was re jfused admission to Almack's because lie was wearing trousers Instead ol 'breeches and silk stockings, says the Xondon Chronicle. Even Almack's. however, had to admit trousers with Jn Its closely guarded portals the fol llowlng year. When Gladstone was ""up" at Oxford the reign of tho dan dies wag In full swing.

I ain told that I had among my audi ence some of the most highly con nectod and richest men In tho nni Turslty, and there wasn't one whom I ci ulfln't have dressed from top to toe for 6." The "wild garlic" which Infests por "lions of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In diana Is a noxious plant first seen In Tennsylvanla. A farmer In southern .Indiana secured some seed wheat from the Ohio Valley, and noticed tie presence of the onionlike pest lu tbe resulting crop. He gave It no further thought, as "tbe entire In stated plot might have been carried away In bis hat." And yet within three years the wheat from that sec tion ot the country was refuted by all jr.lllers because of the malodorous gar lic, the seeds of which are about the jeume size, as largo wheat grains. In vcertaln localities land values have ."been sorely affected by tbe presence iof this weed.

Five men are dead, two are probably fatal ly Injured and .over a scoro were more or less seriously hurt In tho wreck of the Western express and tho Doston and Uuffulo special, both westbound on tho New York Central here.

Tho Buffalo and Doston special No. 49 was at a standstill In the sta tion yards, when, it is alleged by rail road officials, Engineer J. H. Lydell of Uuffalo, on the Western express train, No. 23, ran past precautionary signals and dashed Into the rear of tbe standing train. The signals, Superintendent Kverett declares, are In excellent working order. Crushed During Fog. Conditions near dawn were those which railroad men fear tho most, and which make the handling of trains almost a hazard at best. A heavy fog hung over everything and a drizzling rain, which at times in creased to a smart shower, was turned to Ice the moment ft touched anything. Tho windows of engines and coaches were opaque and the rails were covered with a coating of Ice, which reformed almost imme diately after each passing train. Train No. 4 9 arrived at Syracuse ahead of No. 23 and thus took pre cedence on tho Western division be tween thero nnd Uuffalo. It was ahead of time at Ratavla and was awaiting the signal from the conduc tor to start on time. Train No. 23 followed closely behind. Jumped For Their Lives. Engineer Lydell admits that be saw a cautionary light 4,000 feet east of the station and, the railroad officials say, he also admits having passed a signal set against him. When Lydell saw the tail lights of the express through the fog It was too lato to prevent disaster. He Jammed on the brakes, reversed, and with a cry of warning to his fireman leaped for his life. The flying train, with scarcely ap preciable check, owing to the Icy rails, plowed Into tho Pullman coach, the last car on the standing train. The heavy coach was telescoped and tossed to one side, the engine con tinuing on through tho wreckage to the next car, a day coach. There it reared high In the air and toppled over on the wrecked Pullman. The work of rescue was quickly organized. The local firemen and police, railroad men and volunteers worked heroically among the wreck age and hissing steam from the shat tered engine to rescue those pinned In the debris, to whom immediate succor meant life. Vans and cabs were used as ambulances to carry the Injured to the hospital. Dead In Hear Coach. It was two hours after the wreck occurred when the first body was taken out. It had been Jammed In between the wreckage of the Pull man and tho overturned engine. Soon afterward three more were found near the same spot. All four had been traveling in the rear coach of the forward train, which bore the full brunt of the first terrific Impact. ARM F.I) GUARDS FOR TRAIN'S.

Its assured possession and control will contribute to our peace, Bafety and prosperity as a nation. In my Judgment It Is tho right and tho duty of tho United States to fortify and make capable of defenso tho work that will bear so vital a relation to Its welfare, and that is belt:.? created solely by It and at an expenditure of enormous sums. "I have authorized the submission to the secretary of tho treasury of the revised estimate for the appropria tion referred to In the accompanying U tter of tho secretary of war, which estimate Is less than the original cbM rnuto by approximately one-third." The modified report of tho fortifi cations hoard, accompanying tho mes sage, reduces the estimate of the cost of fortification of the canal from $19,546,843 to $ 1 2.4 7 5 2 8 . This re duction was reached by a 15 per cent, cut In tho amount of armament through the omission of a battery of I two 14-inch rifles and four 12-Inch mortars at liatelo Point; through a I redistribution and greater concentra tion of tho proposed garrisons and tho adoption of simpler and more economical types of quarters and em placements. 1 1 FX IS NOT A lilltl).
