The Buck-Eye Corn Sheller. Wooden RaHroads Mr. Clowes of Sullivan County in this State has published some essays showing the advantages and economy of building railroads altogether of wood—wooden rails and wood en sleepers. The opinions of Mr. Clowes are good and worthy of attention. Where tim ber is so abundant and cheap as it is in our country we think that railroads of this kind would not only be of great benefit especially to our farmers in the rural districtsbut would be of great benefit to our mechanics and mer chants who dwell in our cities and villages also. The roads in our agricultural districts are not good although the timber is abundant. Now just let some main tracks of strong deep and broad wooden rails be laid through the most central and densely populated parts of the country as auxiliaries to the main lines of the iron tracks and let broad wheeled lo comotives built upon the plan of Mr. Sellers described in another page of this paper be placed upon the wooden tracks so as to carry at a cheap rate the agricultural products of our farmers to market and great benefits would thus be conferred both upon our rural and municipal population. It frequently costs more to bring agricultural products to market than the original price at the farmer's dwel ling. Every improvement therefore that cheapens transit is certainly a be nefit to eve ry class of our citizens. sent to us from the inventor and patentee Mr. John R. Warrington of Damascoville Ohio.
