Two battleships and two armored cruisers will constitute the program which Secretary Long will ask Congress to authorize during its coming session. In limiting his commendation to this number and this class of ships, the Secretary is influenced by the evident purpose of Congress to grant this increase of the establishment. The last naval appropriat on law contained a provision directing the secretary of the Navy to prepare designs for two battle ships and two armored cruiser.

Even such a simple thing as plowing appears to be is sadly neglected.

The lowing which is done by many farmers is slovenly and bad in the last degree. A firstclass job of plowing is the exception in any country. This shortcoming rests partly on lack of knowledge respecting plows, their adjustments and the methods of using them, partly on account of the inappreciation of the importance of proper plowing, and partly on general shif tlessness.

It is, by the way, remarkable that this weapon is particularly plain and unornamented for tha sword of an oriental potentate, and the fact is made more singular when we compare the weapon with some of its neighbors in the royal armory, which also came from Tippoo's stronghold and present the most dazzling appearance owing to the priceless jewels with which they are incrusted.

The competitive shooting sport by the Peabody, Herington and Marion gun clubs in Marion last Friday afternoon was marred by a serious accident. Young Clifford Fprmer, a lad sixteen years old, son of Mr. Ben Farmer, was behind the wooded screen, operating one of the traps, when Joe Bowlby's shotgun was prematurely discharged.

The shot struck the ground at the bottom of the boards, and glancing up about twenty of them entered the leg of young Farmer below the knee. He was taken home love is more dangerous than a western Plowing is not done deep enough as a rule. This is the easiest way to be lazy. I find that many men think that they are plowing six inches deep when their furrows, carefully measured, will not average four inches. There are many men who regard four inches as deep plowing.

A good soil, for good crops, ought to be loosened up to the depth of six inches at least, and many soils may be plowed eight inches deep with profit. The more careful farmers of the country have come to see that by increasing the depth of plowing very gradually, from year to year, they are able to loosen up new strata and to unlock new reservoirs of plant-food. They extend their farms downward. A man can double the size of his farm in this way without buying another acre. Along with deep plowing, many soils will repay the expense of a sub-soiling.

So far as I have observed in New England, sub-soiling is almost unknown, al though there are numerous farms on which it unquestionably would be of great advantage. Soils which are not improved by sub-soiling are in the minority on the whole, and yet you will not find one acre in a thousand through this part of the country which has had a sub-soil plow in it, and probably not one farmer in ten would know a subsoil plow from a gymnasium buck if he met it at a circus. Many soils are deepened and immensely improved by under-drainage. This art is also neglected, and almost unknown in this part of the country, although there are many fields which cry aloud for this kind of help. New Santa Fe Booklet.

The latest publication of the Santa Fe Railway is a publication called "Tha Colorado Express." There are half-tone piotures of the train and the various coaches. The booklet is printed on lemon tinted paper with brown ink. The Colorado Express in service between Chioago and Denver consists of three Pullman palace sleepers, a Pullman observation sleeper, a chair car a dining car atd smoking car, with wide vestibules throughout and lighted by Pintsch gas.

The next legislature should I train on the Nerves of Engineer of Express Trains. A railroad engineer, referring to the published story of the strain upon the nerves of pilots of Long Island sound steamers in dense fogs, said to a Telegraph reporter: "I just wish you would say for the engineers: "They don't have a very easy time in such weather." And then he went on to tell how in foggy nights the engineers of the fast trains, and for that matter, the slow ones, endured a strain that would sicken many a man. They sit on the hard little perch provided for them, rushing along, often at a pace of 50 miles an hour or mere. Under thsm the huge mass of iron and steel trembles and throbs, as nervous as a woman and twice as skittish. It is impossible to see ten feet ahead of the engine, and the signal lights, be they red or white, are only visible as they are passed by.

A misplaced switch would mean a disaster horrible to contemplate. These men know all this, and still they are obliged to sit there with a hand on the throttle, ready at any minute to shut off steam and stop tha enormous bulk of plunging metal. I have been running on fast trains now for 10 years," said the engineer, in winding up his story, "and every time I get on my engine to take my train, I say to myself that it will be for the last time, but somehow I always come again. It is not the danger which attracts me, for I know too well the results of a slip or a mistake, but some how or other I cannot give It up.
