Monster Railway Station. Among the monster railway stations of the world that -of St. Louis is the largest. It has an area of Mt24,200 feet, thirty-one tracks, and twenty-four roads runnIng into it. Its capacity is almost double that of the Boston and Maine Station, at Boston, the second largest In the world. Two hundred and sixty trains pass in and out of the Union Station every day, 130 each way. They average 100 passengers to a train. This means that a total of 26,000 pas sengers pass through the station every day. Taking the daily average of 2, 000 passengers as the basis of this cal culation, 780,000 travelers pass through Union Station in a month, which is more than the entire population of West Virginia. The yearly average is 9,360,000, and this sum is equal to the combined population of the States of Naw York and Illinois.

DEz Mus. PINKHA:-Before using your Vegetable Compound I was a great sufferer. I have been sick for months, was troubled with severe pain in both sides of abdomen, sore feeling in lower part of bow - els, also suffered with dizziness, headache, and could not sleep. - I wrote you a ~ re letter describ ing my case and asking your advice.

The condition described by Mrs. IIoff man will appeal to many women, yet lots of sick women struggle on with their daily tasks disregarding the urgent warnings until overtaken by actual collapse. The present Mrs. Pink-ham's experi ence in treating female ills is unparal 1eled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkhamr, and for sometimes past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single y ear. '~OSBORE' CHIARLOTTE COMMERCIAL.' U 0 LE6ECRRR LOT TE, ft. G. acatlousrstio. Guaranteed-Caulogue Pra Profit in Early String Beans. ror an easily grown crop early string beans are almost always profitable. The hills should be protected while the plants are small, and there is dan ger that frosts will nip them. Common card boxes placed over the hills bot tom up can be very cheaply procured. They will keep off frostas well asmwore expensive coverings, and can be kept frow blowing away by putting a stone or a little eirth over them at night. ManureA For iotatoes. It is not safe to manure potato ground heavily for late crop of potatoes. After midsummer it will surely make them rot if there is any wet weather. The early potatoes are off the land'so early that the land cannot easily be made too rich for them. Yet in some very rainy seasons even the early potatoes require to be dg as soon as ripe, or even be fore, in order to save them. If com mercial manures are used on potatoes they should not be put in contact with the seed. Most mineral manures, either acid or alkaline, are caustic and eat into the cut surface.s of the pota toes. Home-Bred Cows. It is always best wherever possible to breed cows on the same farm-where they are to be kept. The cow is a very home-loving animal, and if taken from old associations, it will neither eat so heartily-uor give so much milk as it would if kept where it -vas grown. We have seen cows walk uneasily around the field as if looking for a place to get out for days, and until the grass in the path they made was entirely destroyed. Of course such cows cannot be profita ble milkers. After a cow has had one calf-in her new home, it seems more homelike to her, and if she is where she can see it and sometimes be with it, she will be less discontented, except for the first few weeks, while she is maiuly.anxions to be withher calf. Horticultural Hints. Give the orchard all the potash that it needs. Coarse; raw manure is not fit for the garden. Toads, frogs and lizards are useful in the garden. The gem melon is the best seller in the market. Prune the quince tree and train it to a single stem. Extra work in getting a good seed bed pays in garden work. Cut off all the bruised roots when planting a tree, but do not mutilate the top. A neglected orchard encumbers land that might be used profitably for othei' purposes. A late crop of cabbage is easily grown, for the seed can be planted in the open ground. Five acres in cncumbers for Dickles will ordinarily pay as much as all the' rest of the farm. Yard Culture of Roses. There are three important things to be considered to be successful with the cultivation of outdoor roses, says the Rome Georgian. First, a suitabie location; second, suitable soil, and last, but not least, suitable varieties. I know of many persons who go to the woods -to get light soil from old tree stumps, wihich they use for preparing a bed for roses, and, after planting their roses in this soil and wvatering them carefully, feel discouraged that they do not make a strong growth. In order to grow roses in the yaraj the- first important thing is a goodt open exposure; if thirty or forty feet away from large trees so much the better. A yellow, rather heavy, fibrous loam with good drainage is considered the ideal soil for roses. Spread two or three inches of well rotted cow manure over the bed, thoroughly mix same to the depth of one foot or a trifle over. A bed pre pared in this manner should grow first-class roses; if your soil is a hard, sticky clay it should be removed to the depth of fifteen inches and re placed with soil s.ch as above. Imiproving a Pasture Sprina. The average pasture spring is apt to be a mud hole because not protected from the cattle's feet. Where a spring is to furnish the sole supply of water for a pasture year after year, it is worth while to make the miost of it. If~ there is an old iron kettle with a break in the bottom, it can be utilized A NovEL sPRING4. after the fashion shown in the cut, provided the source of the spring is a little higher than the point where it 1isue from the ground.

Dont cut your horse&s fcoretop off if you ev-er expect to sell himz to a dealer. IA shaved foretop kuocks from ten to fifty per cent. oliof the market value of a roadster. a coach horse, a cab or a saddle horse. The practice of clip ping horses' foretops, and generally from three to six inches of the mane with it. has becomne a very common one. It never improves a horse's looks and is rarely beneficial. Fashion demands that a coach horse. a cab, a hack, a roadster or any sor!. and it is a serious mistake to clip it off of any marketable trotting-bred horse. M. Newgass is one of Chicago's most extensive exporters of horses, and ships many trotting-bred coach, park and saddle horses to London and, Liverpool each week. When questioned in regard to the practice cf clipping the foretops from trotting-bred horses he said: "It's pernicious. I cannot buy a horse for export if his foretop has been cut off, unless I can get him at half his real value, because the foreign buyers al ways keep such a horse until the mane grows out again, and they must buy them very cheap to do that. You can not say too much against that practice in your paper, or caution breeders too often, as the number of trotting-bred horses that come to this market minus their foretops is astonishing. "-Horse Review. Controllina the Ox'Warble Fly. The warble or swelling on the back of cattle is caased by the larva of a fly which attaches its eggs to the hair on the legs, flanks and neck of the animal. 'Tbese hatch and the larve establish themselves under the -skin, usually on either side of the backbone. Here they feed upon the animal juices until ready to pupate, causing the swelling or warble. When growth is completed the grub leaves the warble, SECTION OF wARBLE. drops to the ground, crawls under the most convenient shelter, such as a piece of board, log, etc., and there transforms into the fly or adult stage. There is a difference of opinion as to how the grub gets under the skin. Some entomologists claim that the egg is taken into the stomach by the animals licking themselves, hatch there, adhering to the walls, then the grubs gradually work their way toward the surface, where they remain until fully grown. Others hold that the eggs hatch where they are laid and the young larvoe bury themselves at once .under the skin. Whatever method is employed the results are the same. The best way to get rid of the pest is to kill the maggot. This may be done by squeezing them out. Place the thumbs near the base of the swell ing and press firmly until the grub is forced out. To prevent the attacks of the fly in summer, a mixture .of 4 oz of sulphur, 1 gill of spirits of tar with a quart of train oil rubbed along the DIFFEENT STAGES OF.PUPA. ADULT FLY, spine, loins and ribs is useful. Train oil can be used alone. As the fly does not move about from place to place freely, its eradication on individual farms depends almost completely upon the owner. -New England Homestead. Cultivating and Spraying Potatoes. The cultivation of potatoes must be gin just.as soon af ter planting as a crust forms on the surface of the field. Break up with some kind of a harrow or. a weeder. Keep the surface loosened from then until the plants stop gro-wing, Jate in the summer. After cultiva~ing as'long as possible with the harf~ow or weeder, use an or dinary corn cultivator, taking care ilot to run it too deep or very close to the plants. The character of the sea son will determine the frequency of cultivation. Whenever weeds begin to appear or the surface of the soil be comes compacted, go over the field with the cultivator. Keep this up un til the crop is matured. While good caltivation will keep down many O' the weeds, it will be necessary to do : e 'hoeing while the plants are small and a little hand pulling later. This is frequently neglected on the average farm and as a consequence fertility which should go to the pota toes is absorbed by the weeds. By digg.ing time the field will have be come- one mass of weeds and grass roots, making it almost impossible to remove the tubers from the ground. Much has becen said and written c~ncerning the comparative mnerits of ridge and levcl culture for potatoes. After sifting all the evidence it seems clear that level culture is best for root crops, just as it is for corn, notwith standing the opinion of some practi eat growers to the contrary. It may seem a radical departure to those who have always ridged their potatoes, bat give a small pa: t of the field this treatmient and see for yourselves. P.>tato vies are subject to two seri ous pests, viz., beetles and blight. Byv careful attention and timely spray iug these can be held in check, as a rule. Whenever bcetles appear spray with paris green mixture, cue pound of the green to 1 00 gallons of water. Should fanignis diseases attack the po tatoes also, use a compound made by a lding paris green to) bordeaux mix ture. This compond is made by first preparing the bordeaux as followvs: Dissolve six pounds copper sulphate in water. Slake four pounds quick lime and lilter. Pour the milk of lime into the copper solution and add wvater* to make lif cy gallons. Add one pound paris green to every 175 or 200 gallons bordeaux, and the compound is ready for use. Spray when the pl!an2t are about six inches high, then as oneni thereafter as necessary, usnally every ten or fifteen days. Special spraying apparatas can be purchased for use in potato fields where enough are raised to warrant the ex'.ense. For small patches the ordinary cheap kuapsack sprayer can TOBACCO FROM AUSTRALIA. Weed Is Being Cultivated by Farmers in the Antipodean Island. Australia has at last set about mak Ing a serious effort to cultivate tobacco. For thirty years or more the weed has been grown in limited areas in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, but it can scarcely be said to have been cultivated. Not at any str-e has the industry been backed b scientific knowledge-at least, not ur.til experts were sent over from this country. Vic toria secured the servi-ces of Mr. Bon duraut, a Kentuckian, If we mistake not, and New South Sales those of 'Mr. Howell, also from the south. The form er has been at the antipodes for two or three years, and the latter only a few months. Sufficient, however, has been done by Mr. Bondurant in Vie toria to demonstrate that a good mar ketable article can be grown there, and that in future tobacco will figure much more prominently In the list of Austra lian exports than was thought likely a few years back. It was the success which attended the efforts of Mr. Bon durant as a practica! instructor that in duced the government of New South Wales to follow Victoria's lead and also turn to the States for a scientific teacher. And now we learn that the agricultural department of Queensland is assisting its growers by importing the best American 'seed procurable. The expert, it is presumed, will follow In due course. There is no doubt whatever that to bacco can be profitably grown In all the Australian colonies. The product -may never rival Vuelta Abajo-not even equal that of our New England States, but the fact that the govern ments have decided to push the enter prise for all that it is worth means that tobacco in large quantities will eventu ally be produced and placed on the mar kets of Europe. The government expert is very well pleased with the results attained at the experimental farm at Edi, where he planted a large number of varieties of plug and cigar leaf tobacco. Mr. Bon durant's chief object has been to de termine what varieties of leaf were best adapted to Victorian soil and cl mate, and this, it is claimed, he has done. Next season a larger crop is to be set out, and should that prove a commeycial success the tobacco-raising industry will be fairly launched. In all human probability it will be years before Australia becomes a competitor of ours in this field, but once it has been proved that tobacco Is a profit able crop to grow, and the farmers have learned to handle it, then we may have to -bestir ourselwes.-Tobacco Leaf. The career of Blanche K. Bruce, Reg ister of the Treasury, who died recent ly, was one of singular vicissitude.

Yet he 'jid this in 1875, asa Senator from Mississippl. -Soon after the completion of his term in the Senate, he was appointed Register of the Treasury by President Garfield, the same office which he has held un der the present administration.
