The Davenport Tribune of this Morn
ing after referring to the late rumors of
the disposal of the Davenport Central
railway lines to the tri.city syndicate and
tne appointment of DR.. Allen of Dsven-
port as manager, announces +: When
Dr. Allen was questioned yesterday by a
tribune reporter he said he knew nothing
OF any such deal having been completed,
and that the reports evidently originated
In the brain of some over-zealous news.
paper reporter"
From this coupled with Mr.. Louder
backs telegram to The ARGUS Yesterday
one would be apt to conclude that there
was nothing serious in the rumors re-
TERED to. There is nothing new in the
railway deals today so far as can be
learned, although as THE ARGUS stated
week ago. something may drop st al
most any time 1t is pretty we'll as
sured fact that any negotiations that may
be made in Davenport will not affect
Rock Island. This side of the river will
be maintained distinct, so it is hoped and
under the same management that il now
is.
II should dislike greatly to see the
lines OF the syndicate on this side of the
river run under the Davenport manage
ment as suggested by the report of yes
terday, said representative citizen this
morning. Not that l have a word TO
say against DR.. Allen personally" he con-
tlnued. ''for he is a progressive, minded
! citizen for whom l have the highest re-
gard, both IN a business way and socially,
but the point isl dont,li to see the lines
on this side Of the river run from All end
that represents system which has ruu
down. II is self evident that cousOli-
datlon must be made in Davenport, for
the good of both the syndicate and the
Central company. but there should be no
| condition of such deal which should place
the Rock Island and Moline systems under
management representing that portion
which has run down. There might be
! too much of a disposition to build up the
lines which are not so good at the ex-
pense Of this side of the river. Rock
Island and Moline are doing well by the
syndicate in patronage and they are de.
serving of the best it affords and would
not submit to having the rag tag and bob
tails, that non-paYing lines in Davenport
may be built up"

Oats as Pig Feed.

Many farmers consider oats as a part
ration most excellent feed for hogs.
Southern Cultivator mentions hearing a
successful farmer speak much in their
praise. His custom was to use equal
parts Of corn and oats, ground, and on
this ration his hogs did splendidly and
We're exceptionally free from disease
Against this is an experiment that show
ed very plainly that a sow sucking young
pigs did not thrive well on a ration of
about two-thirds oats The chaff seem
ed too much like straw for the SOW to
relish them. When the pigs have at
tanned some size ration one-third oats
to two-thirds cornmeal is recommended
as producing good results. For brood
sows and stockers they can be used with
profit where maintenance ration is the
object sought. Shorts make a better
mixture with cornmeal for SOW suck
ling, as the pigs will gain faster on this
ration,

the true spirit Of the times in this rerpect
and its example is worthy of emulation.
Its public spirit is credit to the new
south, of which it is destined through its
enterprise and push to become one of the
leading industrial centers. 1t may be
considered as reasonably certain, further
more, that any outside capital seeking in
vestment in Birmingham will find cordial
welcome in keeping with the substantial
encouragement already shown. Outside
capital in any community should be en-

is due to this fact thai Rock Island
through the fundamentally of its city
council and Improvement association has
efectual!y sat down upon the local
croakers who yap at the enterprise of
outside capital and attempt TO discourage

Rock Island has shown It's desire to en-
courage outside capital in every way pos

Deafness Can't be- Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the deceased portion of the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf imed condi-
tion of the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets intamed
you have a rum bling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the i'm
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of 10 are caused by catsrrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condi,

Buckwheat in the Orchard.

Two or three growths of buckwheat
can be grown in the apple orchard in a
single season, says Field and Farm, pro-
vided they are plowed under without
ripening seed. As the seed is not expen-
give, this may be better for the land than
TO raise only one crop and let it go to
seed There is not a great deal of plant
food in buckwheat, therefore 1t does not
rob the soil. Plowed under, buckwheat
loosens the soil as few other crops do,
ard this on heavy land is often very i'm
portant for apple and pear trees. The
looser the soil the more water it will
hold without hardening the surface,
consequently buckwheat helps to pre-
vent drought

Poultry Points.


Hens that lay white eggs as a class Law
as many as those that lay eggs of other
colors within the year, but not as MANY
In the late fall and winter months, with
out special care, and in cold weather
eggs always bring higher prices and
then the profits are much greater.
Most white skinned fowls lay white
shelled eggs.
1t is good plan to feed little oil
meal IN the morning or at noon with the
soft food; about once a week will be
sufficient. 1t will act gently on the
bowels, glossen the plumage and is
really useful food to give flock occa-
sionally. 1t is also a valuable feed for
cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, and no
good farmer should be without it.
There are no two breeds that have so
firm a hold on the breeders of America
as the Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks.
Those who keep fowls for profit and
those who are compelled to satisfy their
tastes inside the most practical breeds
invariably keep the Brahma or Ply
mouth Rock; the demand will naturally
be greater for these two breeds.
The broiler industry, the rearing of
roasters and capons and the egg farm
are in their infancy. Their growth is
going to be rapid. When this demand
has really begun to be felt, the breeders
of special purpose fowls will not want
for orders. The demand for India Games,
Dorkings, Leghorns, Minorcas, Red Caps
and similar fowls is growing, and the
breeders Of these varieties are increasing
with great apidity.-American Agri-
culturist.

A number of young business men were
discussing, few evenings since, the
proper method one should pursue in step.
ping out from business house in which
one has been employed and establishing
a house of his own. There was q very gen.
eral belief expressed that it did not pay to
be too 'fresh," as one aptly, il not inele
gantly put it, and the verdict at the close
of the discussion was to the effect that the
youngster in business should beware of the
glib rongued travelling man and not over
load himself with goods, for whether he
realizes it or not he is paying ruling rates
of interest upon whatever sum of money
| the goods on his shelves represent. There
was time, and that not very long ago."
| said MIR. Fred Scarf, when our local job
bling and wholesale houses did not cater to
the retailer and the smaller dealer in the
same manner as they do now. 1t is hard
to make some dealers realize this fact, but
| tell you that the average retailer, with
| but a small capital at command, can
make more money, get better treat
ment, have less worry, and maintain
fresher and better stock by buying
from home jobbers than by patronizing
! foreign houses. There is no place in the
west where retailers receive better treat
ment from iobbing bouses than they dc
here in Salt Lake. The man who buys q
small quantity only cannot get the same
figures as the one who buys in large lots
even though he does place his orders with
a drummer. Why, then, should not the
Salt Lake retailer be willing to pay Sal
Lake wholesaler the same figures asked BY
an eastern or western drummer2 Or, il
other words, isn't it more to the retail Sal
Laker's benefit to allow the wholesale Sal
Laker to make profit than to give tina
profit to an outside house7" And the con
gregation arose and voted "aye."
