Yopag Msn's Dollar.

Some one has adyocsted the idea Of
taking care of the pennies and letting
Ghe pounds care for themselves. we
are disposed 70 bring the adage down to
Oar own time and country, and recon-
mend young men to take care of the dol
lars. What young man on the farm
can read the following from the pen of
our good friend L. S. Coffin, the Iowa
Homestead, without resOluiely determin
ingio 90 and do like ViseP There is won
derlul power and force in Lhe argument
andif pc ssible, much more in the array
offacts and figures.
There is no way in which the average
man can gam an independence so soon
as by farming. OF course. am speak
ing of proper and honorable ways. Aud,
again, there is no way under the sun
that is so sure. Suppose a young man
ut thirty has been industrious and sav-
ing enough to be able to get him place
for home and ten good grade heifers
that are worth fifty dollars each and a
bull worth 500. Now, cannot any
fair average maa so work and manage
as to keep these ten COWS, and keep
lhem wellP Ii so, what would be the
value of the increase. of these ten heif-
ers for the next zen yearsP Allowing
that one-half the increase be females,
and allowing also twenty per cent. for
loss and barrenness, the heifer calves
and their increase, together with the
old stock, in ten years would make the
man worth, at the very least, calculat-
ing the value Of the increase to be kept
zap to that of the first stock-which can
be safely depended upon-worth, say,
at least ten thousand dollars. We have
left out entirely the value of the steers
which would be worth fully as much as
the heIfers, but we let them go into the
cost of keeping the COWS, family expense
and improvement on the farm. Besides
all this, If the man had wisely chosen
his location and farm, the increase in
value of this woald be nearly, if not
quite, equal to the increase of his stock.
Here, then, would be gain in wealth
of about $20 900 in ten years time,

The Chicago & Ohio River Pool.

Commissioner Richardson and President
Malott, of the Chicago & Ohio-river pool, yester
day returned from Chicago, where an important
meeting of the pool managers was held on
Wednesday. The pool committee to whom was
referred the question of recommending percent
ages for an additional pool on business to Ohio
river and Green-line points in the South recon-
mended the following percentages: Illinois Cen
tral, 109; Wabash. y; Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois, %; Kankakee line, %; Panhandle, is;
Louisville New Albany e. Chicago a. In re-
gard to the award for the regular pools the com
mittee consisting of Messrs Malott Forsyth,
ard Richardson recommended that the percent
ages should be settled on the basis of the earn
ings of January and February 1888 After
long and animated discussion it was found that
there chaIce of settling matters on the pro
posed plans and it finally decided to extend the
so-called five pools for three months from Nov.
l, and committee was appointed, consisting of
President Malott and Commissioner Richardson,
to recommend new percentages, and submit them
to another meeting as sO0u as possible. The
same committee is also to arrange and recon-
mend new percentages for the additional pool,
which is to include the Illinois Central and Wa

Four representatives The Times says: There
was considerable talk among the officials regard
ing the removal of the pool Offices from Indian
apolis to Chicago. Commissioner Richardson it
was understood, has informed several of the
managers that he should prefer to exc out a
scanty subsistence in Chicago than to live on the
fat of the land in indianapolis. He has informed
them practically that if the pool Offices are not

do not understand that the war was brought on
by the differences between the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore & Ohio roads although the Incl
dent undoubtedly complicated the case to
certain extent Let me give you an illustration:
If 100000 were piled on the ground and twenty
men were permitted to keep all they could ap-
propriate and carry away, the natural and quick
result would be broken heads and bloody noses
But if each party, on the contrary, were informed
of the fixed proportion to which he was entitled
and that the law would protect HIM IN securing
that proportion there would be no unseemly
scramble, IT rs just this which the pooling ar
rangement undertakes to do for the railroads.
Without this division of the prizes for which
they all compete in fixed proportions, railroad
wars are a necessary result, together with all the
determinations and commercial depression which
attend them We stopped the division of pas

A correspondent asks why New York Central
per cent debentures are worth l02, when
Chicago, Burlington 6 Quincy debentures are
selling at 81, and Northwestern debentures be-
low 90. There is no apparent reason for the
margin between these bonds, unless it be the
difference of time that they run and the pros
pect of Central debentures ultimately becoming
a first mortgage. Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co,
who offered $6, 100000 Central debentures for
subscription, say they expect more than the full
amount to be wanted The Central company has
many friends on account of its past record. The
Central road is, in large degree. living on its
history. The London financial journals under

that is to September l. the decrease in N. Y g.
