and secured a perfect stand of vigorout
plants. In Dakota and other extreme
Northern scetions, wheat, corn and veg
etables are planted in May, as soon a
the ground Ihas thawed to a depth

occurs that the seeds so plantod ie up

Some of the readers of the Southern

there is nothing in the shape of natuil

iS iiways the great )estiferous obstacle
to the growth and culture of this de
hicious berry. This may not be the case
im of her strawb1termy regions, but in our
:ection of central Virginia, it is especial
ly so. This clover, like all others, is a
iLp-rooted growth. It crowds, hugs and

ought to be at any particular moment
if on time; but as. trains frequently an
generally get late the train of Inferior
class must have its movement expedited
by some extraneous cause or it. may be
delayed for hours awaiting a train that
may have boon wrecked or has been kept
back for some other of many
Thon the duties of the train
are of importance. He will
give an order to the delayed
telegraph directing it not to go beb
a certain lace which he thinks It
reach without difficulty, and ho dij4
the opposing train to proceed to
same place Id thero peas the
train and in that manner the train,s
enabled to pass each other without any
delay to either. His great responsibi,i'
consits in that he may have a dozen t
other trains in his charge at the some
time and in directing one train to go
beyond its usual place to meet another-,
he may neglect to give an order to the
seconl train andi in such an event a col
lision would probably ensue, much prop
erty be destroyed and probably lives be
lost.
It will ceadily be seen that the slight
est mistako of a trail disl?atcher might
cause serious results; and in this respect
his responsibility is probably . greater
than that of any other individual under -
whose charge the public are placed.. A
pilot on a vessel may loso his reckoning,
but the fact Soo11 becomes apparent o
others, and his capacity for mischief Is
thereby lessened; other railway em
ployes may neglect their duties, and
rush headlong into danger, but th
associates generally realize the situation
before any unfortunate results ensue;
but the slightest behest of a train die
patchier must be obeyed without ques
tion; even though to do so would
jeopardize the lives of thoso receiving
the orders-though of course until an
accident. results the train men are ig o
rant of the fact that they have been ven
wrong dlircCtions1.
instances of oversight of dispatchers
are extremely rare--much loss than of
neglect of conduetois and engineers-to
alere to the orders given to them-and
while they perform their onerous duties
almost entirely unknown to the people
whoso lives they have in their control,
and therefore never receive the mood of
praise due them, travelers ought at least
he made acaluaintel with their duties
and the important part they play in the
rapid and safe movemnent of passengers.
