RAILROAD RAILS AND SIGNALS A consulting engineer of the New York Cen
tral railway has perfected, it is reported, a process whereby hidden defects in steel rails may be ctireehs&that^he danger -fwl~iH«aksmay be practically eliminated. He has been working on this problem for a long time in a laboratory car that has 'been virtually his home for thirty-two
finished rail, followed by a special treatment. The importance of this discovery, assuming that it is genuine, is shown by the fact that in 1915 broken rails caused 3,045 accidents in this country, the death W 205 persbr^the injury of 7,'341 and the loss of property worth nearly $4,000,000. The ratio of rail breaks on the New ifork Central ITn^heretofofeTias averaged aboiiEl to 6CHJ rSIs." Sinjse this new process rail has been installed the breaks have been reduced to 1 in 142,000 rails.

See how all the fertilizers have advanced, though now they have very little potash in them. You know how essential potash is to your crops. Don't despair—there is plenty of potash in your soil, if you can only make it availa-ble. The one and only way is to use LIME. You can't afford to farm afly Inngftr without LIME. You biow it costs just as much to raise 10 bushels of wheat as 20^ or & barrels of corn as 10. If you want to douMe youi' crops, wake upr-get bu^^ ind LiB4E fltEELY. The LIME diat has been used for the p a i t ^ years w ^ b€^i^6pAaris the LIMI| ftnr ydu and that is, of course.
