ROADS DRAW OUT.
Two Companies Dissatisfied With
the Alton.

CHICAGO, April "a meeting of the
Illinois Freight association was held
to-day to take action on notices of with
drawal filed by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Chicago & North
western roads. These two companies
are dissatisfied because the Chicago &
Alton insists on preserving the Chicago
differentials as against Milwaukee on
traffic to Texas points, and they refuse
to act longer with the association. When
it was found that they were determined
upon this course, the Atchison and the
Chicago, st. Paul Il Kansas City also
gave notice of withdrawal, and it is I'M
derstood that the Rock Island IS now
contemplating the same step. This will
probably cause disruption of the Hill
nois association, but will not affect the
Chicago and st. Louis Traffic associa-
ton. Chairman j. n. Faithorn says
that the lines in the Southwestern Rail-
way and Steamship association are pro-
testing against the AltOn's position, and
may refuse to allow it the proportions it
claims on Texas business if it insists on
making lower rate from Chicago than
the other loads make from Milwaukee.
When told of this General Manager
Chappell said:
"All right. Let them do as they think
best They can't change any more than
tueir local rates from st. Louis, ana we stand
ready 10 take the business to st. Louis for
nothing If necessary. There is just as much
use in making Thu ST. Louis rate apply from
Chicago as there is in making the Chicago
rate apply from Milwaukee and Green Bay"

HEARD IN NEW YORK.
The Chicago q Alton Now Alone
Boycotted.

bOycOttcu.
New YORK, April 9.-The Chicago e
Alton now stands alone boycotted by
the various railroad associations for its
determination to pay commissions to
agents. The Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy availed itself to-day of the brief
grace granted 1t by the board of rulings
at its meeting Tuesday and sent telc-
gram to the board agreeing to conform
10 its decisions. The telegram was
signed by General Passenger Agent
Hustes. The board Immediately on its
receipt went into session and an
acknowledgment was wired to Mr..
Hustes. The matter so far as the Chi
cago, Burlington IL Quincy is concerned
is regarded as settled. The position of
the Chicago IL Alton remains I'M
changed. On Wednesday next, unless
the Chicago 81 Alton repentS of its pres
ent stands, the threatened boycott will
go into effect. All Of its tickets will be
taken off sale by the SiXty-One roads in
the boycott movement. Time tables
will be taken from cases, and baggage
will not be checked through over the
Alton to any point Oh its line on the
other roads.
I'VE could control this ticket scalping
evil" said Commissioner Farmer, of the
board of rulings to-day, were it confined to
our own agents. but it is those outsiders,
these scalping brokers. who cause the most
trouble. l Will say. however, that New York
was never so free of the scdiping system IS it
is at present. There are fewer commissions
paid to-day than there has been since rail

Home Comforts.

The homes of the people are the index
of nations civilization. They are the
creators of sentiment and ideas. A
house should be made for comfort, hap
piness and health. For comfort, we
look to warmth and shelter, a dry soil,
and an easy access to the highway. For
happiness we wish good views, cheer
full surroundings. suitable arrangement
of rooms. pictures. music, plants, open
fires, piaZZaS for summer and
heating for winter. For health we
require good ventilation and drain
age and free and pure supply of
drinking water The ideal location for
a house is upon gently sloping hill
side with rugged uneven top backed
by piece of woodland. These loca-
tons abound everywhere. When Sc
lected adapt the house to the land, bat
under ground is nuisance all the
time. Most houses have poor founda-
ito rs and little or no care is given to
draining. A dry wall of fat stones
does not make good foundation.
The old-fashioned lath and plaster
walls have given way to more
solid walls that are either painted or
tinted. A cheap floor, to be covered
with an expensive carpet, has been
superseded with substantial floor of
some good wood. The narrow window
has gone never TO return, aud the mod
ern window is broad and ample. Trees
and shrubbery are the best ornaments
for house surroundings. Trees should
not be placed so near the house as to
shade it. Group the Shrubbery in ac-
cordance with color. For heating, steam
heat is the most satisfactory, and gives
a uniform temperature at all times at
moderate cost.

A DAIRY COW.
Points Good to Keep in Mind in
the Selection of One.

Points Good to Keep in Mind in
the Selection of One.
Prof. Stewart, in American Dairynap,
says, touching the selection of the dairy
cow, that, having determined the ca
pacity of digesting surplus food for
making milk, look carefully to the re-
ceptacle holding 1.-THE udder and veins
leading thereto. The COW may assimi-
late large amount of food which goes
mostly to lay on flesh and fat, but if
she has long. broad and deep udder
with large milk veins, it is safe to con-
clude that her capacity for digestion
and assimilation is active in filling this
receptacle; in fact, the udder is the
first point to consider in the curSory
examination of COW. If it reaches
to the back line of the thighs and
beyond, well up behind, well forward.
teatS well apart and of good size, skin
soft and elastic, it may be inferred with
confidence that nature has provided
means for filling it. If the udder be a
small round cylinder hanging down in
front of the thighs like siX-quart pail
the cow cannot be profitable mixer.
whatever digestive apparatus she may
have. A yellow skin and the inside of
her ears to match is almost universally
regarded as present in the COW that
gives rich milk yellow in color. But
after the indications mentioned are
found all other considerations are of
minor Importance, more to be admired
as a matter of fancy than for any real
Among them are an escutcheon
that is filst-class. long, slim
tail, an attractive diShed face, dropping
and small waXy horns and preferred
color of hair. Look for these, and get
as many of them combined in the ami
NAL as possible, but let it be after the
essentials are found. Let good appear
ance be coupled with performance, and
if the COW be five years old or younger
and will yield 5000 pounds of good milk
or more per annum she may be safely
trusted, without regard to fancy points.
She must consume and digest the food
to make it, and her machinery and the
power to work the machinery success
fully are the main considerations after
all. Still another important matter
in selecting COW, even of COM
mon blood, is her pedigree or line of de-
scent. Choose one from large milking
dam, grandam and great-grandam.
This Will increase the probabilities of
success in her progeny in breeding her
to a thoroughbred bull from deep milk
ing ancestors. A few cows selected
with all the business requirements al
luded to will lay the foundation for
breeding herd of dairy COWS that will
prove source of perpetual delight and
profit to the owner; on the other hand.
it is loss of time and money to rear
calf for the dairy from poor mixer.
1t is bad enough to keep an Improbable
COW for season, but it is deliberately
throwing away good food to breed such
a COW with the proof that the helfer
will never pay for her keep. OF course
no males should be kept of such crosses
for breeding purposes.

Western Passenger Affairs.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The Western
Passenger association closed its session
with a somewhat heated debate over
tourist rates. There was proposition
to make the rate between st. Louis and
st. Paul rs per cent of the regular rate,
and there was vigorous opposition from
some of the members who commended
that so per cent was the usual basis and
was low enough. The Chicago & Alton
representative declared that if the prop
osition were adopted he would make
tourist rates between other points rs
per cent of the regular rate. The whole
matter was laid or the table. Late this
afternoon the general passenger agents
of the Northwestern lines were in con-
ference with representative of the
500 line, with a view to clinching the
agreement by which the latter is al
lowed differential of S1.50 on business
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to sea-
board Cities
