THE DIFFERENCE.
The Knotty Problem That Confronts the
Advisory Board.

Advisory Board.
One little question that is apt to prove an
exceedingly knotty one for the advisory
board to consider is the relation of the
Western and Southwestern roads to Chicago
and St. Louis a few years since Chicago
was supreme as the railroad center of the
United States, and especially that portion
between the Alleghenies and the Rockies,
but of late years the railroad extensions in
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas. the Indian
Territory and Texas have been so great
that this phase of the situation is now rad
ically different The development OF Texas
has had tendency to strengthen St.
Louis and the result is that the roads have
been obliged to make stand in favor of
St Louis rs against Chicago. The
etfecting of an amicable adjustment between
the Chicago and the St. Louis lines is the
knotty problem that confronts the advisory
board The natural route for east bound
traffic from Texas and the southwest is via
st. Louis, though the bulk of it has hereto
fore been going via Chicago: The result is
that the southwest is placed at a disadvau-
tage owing to the roundabout and conSe-
quently longer haul, and for this reason the
southwestern roads have determined to de-
mard an adjustment of the traffic rules and
conditions whereby the traffic may be
routed via St. Louis and its natural outlet
to the East.
ADOlIeF l"hIuTS u lIe
is that almost all the Texas trunk
lines are north and south roads,
with St. Louis as their northern
outlet. Considerable traffic, though, has
been Of late. and is now being. diverted to
the East via Memphis, the latter city begin
ming to assume considerable Importance as a
Mississippi river gateway, and will soon
become basing point. The state of Texas
is at present supplied with all the north
ern and southern lines that are necessary,
and the future construction will be on east
and west lines, crossing Louisiana and max
ing Nicksburg the gateway. This will also
have its effect upon the eastward flow Of
traffic, and will have a tendency to divert
the Colorado and Kansas east-bound ton
mage toward the Southern lines via Cairo
and Memphis. As matter of self-protec-
ton, the Southwestern roads are compelled
TO demand that they be placed on an equal
footing with the Chicago roads. OF course
the Chicago lines will do all in their power
to retain the traffic via Chicago, but when
they do so they are antagonizing the Gould
interests and a pretty fight may yet result.

ADDRESS OF H. S. HAINES,
President of the American Railway Asso-
citation at the Meeting in New York.

In the address which made in this room
just year ago, called your attention TO
matter about which propose to speak to-
day at greater length. and l will preface my
remarks by quotation from that address:
"A railroad system properly organized.
has its staff, field and line officers. its sup
ply departments, its inspectors, its di-
visions and districts of operation; in a
word, it is an army, whose Office is not TO
STAY. not TO devastate, but to transport the
people and products of a country. This is
its function, and to this end all of its efforts
are directed: and to accomplish this end
successfully, discipline is as essential as in a
militant organization
This is my theme to-day, the subject of
discipline, which l shall endeayor to place
before you as it appears to me; TO impress
you with the importance Of viewing it in a
broad light as effecting the interests of the
public. and of the railroad enploye as well
as of the stockholder.
Discipline really means teaching or
training, and those who are the subjects of
discipline, those who are being trained or
taught, are known as disciples or pupils

THE PRESENT SITUATION.
VIII There be Any Changes on Texas
Roadso


The announcement that c. \. Parker
general freight agent of the Missouri Pa
citic railway, had been announced as acting
traffic manager of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain and leased, operated and in
dependent lines, vice J. S. Leeds, dismissed
strengthens the belief that the dismissal of
the latter is only blind and that he will be
retained by the Goulds in some other ca
pacity Whenever u change is made in the
head of department, there are always
more or less changes in the subordinate
offices. The Texas and Pacific and the
Gould lines in Texas come under the man
agement of the Missouri Pacific traffic and
operating officials, but there is little reason
TO apprehend any change in the present
personnel of the official roster of the lines
in Texas. Still there is always more or less
OF an element of pleasing uncertainty for
some time after change or until the new
official has had time to demonstrate
whether any changes are contem-
plated or will be made IN
der the circumstances the resignation
of officials would not be greeted with any
great amount of surprise.
Another feature of the matter is that by
this action Gould has demonstrated he will
live up to the terms of the Western traffic
association agreement. In fact, he could
not well do otherwise. He has two lines
transcontinental in their territory. 4 fail
ure TO maintain the agreement would res ult
in the disintegration Of the association. and
this would be followed by reckless slash
ing of rates. Gould could not afford to have
different rates prevailing on two big sys-
tens, to say nothing of the disastrous
effects it would have on the commercial
Esr.d. 1t would not do to have the rates
u. the two transcontinental lines out of gear
at the same time. Consequently there was
only one thing to do-let Leeds go-and
that was done. All the Western lines Off
cialS breathe much freer now, and they re-
joice in the knowledge that no rate war is
imminent for time at least. Gould's ac-
tions regarding competing lines which are
said TO have gone for the 100 carloads of
sugar q veil as Leeds, but who got left in

FOOD FOR POULTRY.
Clover Hay the Best Winter Ration ft
LAYING Hens,

Clover Hay the Best Winter Ration for
Laying Hens.
1t is only recently, says the Western
Stockman, that clover hay has been
found to be the cheapest and best win
ter food for laying hens, and that by its
use the great difficulty of procuring
green food is overcome. In fact, the
essential want of the hens in winter is
not so much that of green food as of
bulky food of heterogeneous character.
For many years the writers and breed
ers have made a speciality of recon-
mending all kinds of grains for poultry,
the only variation being that at certain
times some of it was to be whole grains,
and at other times soft food was to be
given. 1t did not occur to them that
the effects of long-continued diet of
grain was as injurious to fowls as to
cattle, and that the concentrated grain
food gave the best results when diluted
(if we may use the expression) with
some kind of bulky material, which not
only promoted digestion, but also large
ly assisted in supplying the elements
necessary for the albumen of the eggs,
which was lacking in the carbonaeeous
food of the grains.
To prepare it as food for hens, clover
hay should be cut fine with feed cut
ter and scalded. The scalding is done
by pouring boiling water over it in a
tub at night, throwing covering on it
and allowing it to remain until morn
ing. In the morning, before feeding,
add for twenty hens, one pound OF
ground grain mixture. This grain mix
ture may be prepared by mixing TWEEN
ty-five pounds of ground corn and oats
(they are usually ground together), ten
pounds of bran, five pounds of mid
dlings, two pounds of inseed meal and
four ounces salt, the whole to be well
mixed.
