Indianapolis News: An effort will be made soon to bring up the old polls, Logansport Chicago railroad scheme, In which several are Interested. The company has been trying for several years to get the right way to the streets ot the city, In order to use tbe Union station, but the other railroads have been powerful enough to defeat the attempt, though the Big Four did agree to let the company use Its tracks on the mileage basis. Some of; the original promoters of the scheme say that if the city had granted the desired permission the trains would have been over tde road by this time, as the company had sufficient backing to build the line at tbat time.

Panhandle conductors are now charged with the responsibility of the proper heating and ventilation of all passenger carj, including Pullmans, handled on their trains. A recent order stat.es that there has been negligence in this matter. Since first of the year all roads continue to report Increases, as compared with the corresponding period of 1897.

Eighty roads, (or the first week of January, report gross earnings $6,762,436, an increase, as compared wita toe first week of 1897, of $1,045,328, or 18.28 per cent. The lease by whicn ths Plttsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago Louis operates the Little Miami is said to be the best for the owners of the property of any railroad contract of that character now existing, pleasing the Little Miami owners much better than it does the Pennsylvania company, the leeaers. The proper officials of the Panhandle hava ordered twelve coaches and three combination built at once at shops in Columbus. It Is stated to at the hew. equipment will be put in service over the Pennsylvania line between Louisville and Chicago via Indianapolis, and between Cincinnati and Chicago via klchmond.

Some months ago the Pennsylvania road built at its shops in Junlata five locomotives of the consolidated type, introducing several new so powerful and fast with Heavy trains have these engines proved that fivs more are to be built at once.

Tailor, Broadway. FARMERS' INSTITUTES. Their Educational Value by Well Known Southern Authority. Professor Massey of the North Carolina state experiment station writes on "How Institutes Have Educated Farmers" in The Farmers' Institute Bulletin. Following are extracts from his paper: Among all the educational agencies of modern times in tbe line of whaD is known as university extension the farmers' institutes have been most influential.

The progress that 1ms been made in the study of commercial fertilizers and their proper use during the last 15 years is a surprise to those who have not watched tbe course of events. Years ago farmers, as soon as they began to think at all about tbe manuria). needs of the soil, jumped at once 141 tbe conclusion that the one tiling necessary to be done was to get a chemist; to analyze their soil for them and tell them what it needed. They bad an indistinct sort of notion that there were certain things needed to make plants grow, but jiwt wbat these things were they imagined tbat only a cbemist could tell. the chemists at the institutes explained to them just what things were needed for the growth of plants and -taught, them that these things were not always iu a.

state in the soil in which plants could use them, and that, while a chemical analysis might show them tbat the Deeded elements were in a soil, they might be there in such a shape tfaac plants could not get them and that frequently it might be better to apply these things in a fertilizer than to wait for the slow purposes of nature to give them from the soil. When manufacturers of artificial fertilizers first began to prepare special fertilizers for different crops, tbey were looked upon as quacks, and intelligent men called the practice humbuggery and said that a fertilizer tbat was good for oca crop was just as good for all. But tbe chemists have learned that these makers of special fertilizers were right, and now we all pay more attention to the needs of the plants we are growing than to the soil in which they grow. Farmers have learned, too, that while the three things essential to plant potash and phosphoric are generally deficient in old soils, make a complete fertilizer they must be in varying percentages to meet the demands of different crops, and the recent discoveries concerning the way in wiicb certain plants of the pea family get nitrogen for themselves and the succeeding crop, too, if well supplied with potash and phosphoric acid, have shown them that tbey need not in all cases use the complete fertilizer at all, but tbat for the ordinary farm crops they can get the nitrogen without money and without price if they use tbe mineral plant food to grow the legumes. The fanners are rapidly learning that they have been often defrauded in the purchase of ready made fertilizers by paying for nitrogen tbat is of no cse to tbe plants because of its insolubk- condition, and that for special crops tbey have got to have a higher percentage of some of tbe elements than any of cbc ready made fertilizers Hence we find farmers all ever ihe country, particularly in sections devoted to vhe cnltare of market vegetables and tobacco, mixing tbeir own fertilizers, and thus making snre tbat they have what they need.

They have learned, too, tbat while a crop may need potash particularly they cannot expect the potash to have the desired effect if there is a deficiency of nitrogen and prof-pboric acid either in the soil or in tbe fertilizer used, and that to get the best results from the use of any one of the forms of plant food there must be either in the soil or supplied to it artificially a dne percentage of the other elements. They have learned that while a plant like tobacco needs a large percentage of poiash ia a fertilizer it wants it in the forra of a sulphate, and they look particularly into the form, of the potash in a miied fertilizer. And this general diffnsicsa of intelligence in regard to fertilizers and their action, in plant life is doe to institutes more than to sny other agency. Immaculate Is the mark of tbe gentleitu.

This year small potatoes have found a ready sale, and thousands of bushels that in otber years would not have been sent have been sold early at fair prices. Thousands of bushels that in other years were fed to stock or thrown away have this year been saved and used for homo consumption, thus leaving free for market as many more bushels of good potatoes. All over the south farmers and gardeners are planning for an immense early crop, which will begin to come before the old stoc'k is fully cleared up. The chances are fair, therefore, that the farmers who are holding their in expectation of a high price in March or April' may be Yorker. 1 Btoff Cholarm.

A western exchange quotes H. H. Hinds, president of tbe Michigan staM live stock sanitary commission, as saying: "It is tbe most highly contagions disease, and we don't know how to suppress it. The boots of farmers and the feet of stock may carry the germs front an infected herd to a herd miles away. Wbere infected hogs run down to stream to drink the germs will be 'carried along that stream clear to tbe oceftM, I might say.

"While we don't know bow to snp- press tbe conditions demand tbe adoption of such sanitary and quarantine measures as will protect tbe herds. One of these measures is to practically stop the trade in swine between farmers. Another is to quarantine the herds on the farms, especiaU.y if infected. "A third is to stop dogs running through the environments of herds, for they oarv ry the germs with them. In marketing hogs they should be drawn to market; not driven the highway.

Tfo man who has cholera in his herd should drive the well hogs into a new environment, leaving the side ones behind. There are scores of so called choleM onres, but I want to warn yon that DOM of them cures." Now is the Time to Bay Shoes Cheap. Men's 15.00. Leather Lined Shoes for 13.
