Cutting Transcontinentai Fares.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15.-Rate cutting on
overland fares, which has been practiced in a
quiet way heretofore, is now done openly. The
schedule rate to New York is $s1. but it is stated
that tickets are being sold as low as $67. An
other rate war. similar to that of five months
ago, is believed to be imminent This state Of
affairs is due to failure of the attempt of local
passenger agents to form an association for mu-
tual protection against rate cutting

The New Southwestern Passenger Pool.

CHICAGO, Oct I5.-Although all of the main
obstacles in the way of formation of a pas
senger pool on Southwestern business had been
removed at yesterdays conference the general
managers met again to-day, calling in their as
sistants to help them thoroughly revise the
agreement. A number of material points were
arranged and minor amendments made so as to
remove any cause for future misunderstanding
The contract, as revised, will be submitted to a
general meeting called for next week, and thea
ratified No commissioner has as yet been cbo-

candidates. Among these are w. P. johnson,

The Western managers, says the Chicago
Times, have at last succeeded in doing one thing
for which they deserve credit-averted a freight
war throughout the West with all of it's train of
disastrous consequences A contest over passen-
ger business-and this is not probable from the
present outlook-can be borne with more or less
equanimity from the fact that increased travel
compsnsates, in degree, for reduced rates, and
no matter how fiercely the fight may rage, it has
little effect upon the volume of traffic after the
contest closes. Freight are different in
their results, as the demand for commodities is
not increased by the establishment of low rates.
and the ton of freight carried at so per cent be-
low the regular tariff counts a loss OF 90 per
cent on what it should have earned for the
carrier.

himself as satisfied that there was job on the

he asked If letters were brought from President
McKeen and Treasurer harrington If he would
then give him a job. Mr.. Elliott looked him
square in the eye and said, mo, sir; for I am

There is still another thing of impor.

Tor the reason that no farmer owning

should have to be told how necessary it
is TO good healto that everythin. about
the horses, and more especially about
the feed box and manger should be per-
fectly neat and clean. 1t is too often the
practice for the attendant to empty the
measure of grain into the feed box with
out even looking to see if the box is in a
condition for the horse to cat out of. If
the horse does not eat his grain clean,
the box should be cleaned out before
another feed time. There is no animal
more tastidiouS than the horse. and if a
little grain is left in the box time after
une, 1T soon begins to decay and Of
tends the horse's sense Of tast and smell.

Feeding Horses.

There Is vast amount Of ignoranc,
exhibited in feeding horses. Some peo
pie feed their horses just when it i.
NEST convenient, regardless Of the
wants or necessities Of the animal
The capacity Of the horses stomach is
about l6 quarts. People who are isno-
rant of this fact fall into many grievous
errors. Those who have the care. o;
animals should know something Of their
autonomy. 10 lllustrate-suppose a
horse is fed ration of grain, and taen
ut once fes quantity Of hay, the hay
torcas the grein from the stomach outy
partially digested. Grain is richer fin
heterogeneous elements than any other
food, and should be fed ut ssuch q time
and in such way that it will be per-
fectly digestcd if,poSsible, and do the
animal all possible good. No farmer cnn
afford tohave grain go through his stock
without serving the purpose for which
II was fed to such stock. Toere should
be one time for feeding grain, and an
other for feeding hay, or other coars ,
food, and by no means should hay be
fed immediately after grain, for the red
son already stitcd. 1t is much better
way to feed the grain some little time
after feeding hay, and then not give any
hay and water for SHINE time ut least
1t is the office Of the stomach to digest
the uitrogenous parts of the food, and
as grain, such as corn and oats, contains
four or five times as much nitrogen as
the same amount Of hay, it is quite i'm
portant that grain should be longer sui b.
ject to the action of the gastric juices Of
than any other food. These are but a
lew of the seemingly unimportaur
things that those having the care Of
horses should always remember. Neve
er crowd The stomach Of the horse, OF
try in any way to hasten the functions
of digestion. If the crowdins process
should ever be indulged in, then it is
advisable to let the grain crowd the hay
or force the hay from the stomach into
the intest,nes Of the animal, instead of
Ieversing it and driving tho grain from.
the stomach only partially digcsted. A
team that works regular hours every
day, has time for feeding in the morn.
ing and at night, and usually an hour.
for this purpose. at noon, SO that any;
elaborate .method Of feeding horse
must necessarily be confince to gentle-;
mons horses. Yet the suggestion Ihave5
offered may be of. use to the plebian
work horse When the time for feed
ing is limited the grain shoald be fed
last, and in this way the greatest
