The Lot OF the Street Car Conductor.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Yesterday I entered into conversation
with an intelligent conductor ON the cable
line asking If he suffered much in this
weather. He answered very much in his
feet and hands. I gave him the advice
(and it is good advice. as any may know
by trying it, to change his shoes and
stockings at midday. He shocked me by
telling me that he got no time to do this,
or even to eat: that his first chance for
&c cd would be at about $3.50. IF We could
eat 1 should be all right he said, but
we have but four minutes at the end of
the line, If on time. and are rarely on
time" It seems to me that this is unadulter-
at ted inhumanity at any time. and particu-
larly in such weather as the present. /
said men should certainly have forty-five
minutes incoming, or half hour at least.
The conductor remarked that he would be
we'll satisfied with fifteen. He was very
cheerful about it all: did not complain
other than as have here given; but my
own pity was aroused by such treatment.
I have dealt with men in largo bodies in
the public service. but we know nothing
like this My own experience Is that they
demand nothing overmuch in the way of
kindly treatment in order to be satisfied.
The commoneSt justice and recognition
of the most ordinary needs bring content.
They don't demand luxury; they only want
humanity; and this my conductor friend is.
according to what he said, certainly not

SELLING SURPLUS STOCK.
1t should BE Done Before the Very Cold
Weather Sets In.

1t should BE Done Before the Very Cold
Weather Sets In.
Unless the poultry-keeper has pure
bred stock and desires to save his sur
plus to sell for breeding purposes, it IS
just as well to get all that he intends To
dispose of in good condition as soon
as possible after the cold weather comes
on, and sell it at the market price.
When severe cold weather comes it is
pretty hard to make young chicks add
in weight very rapidly, unless they are
kept in an exceptionally warm place,
and il is not good economy to try to feed
them and keep them for II later market,
for it usually shows no profit.
If young chickens are shut up in a
light and airy place, and given all the
corn-meal mush they will eat, with
plenty of pure water or milk to
drink, they will take on flesh very
rapidly for few days, and this
added weight is very protitably made.
1t will not take more than two weeks
to make them fat and plump by this
method, and they will be in the very
best condition for market and COM
mand the very highest prices. Old
fowls fed in this way will become load
ed with fat, and present such a pleasing
appearance that they will be in demand
as soon as offered.
1t is not good policy to sell thin,
scraggy fowls at any time, and poul-
try should be fitted for market as care
fully as any other product of the farm.

The Right Kind OF steers.

A writer in Farmers Advocate MAN
has this to say as to the best quality for
feeding steers: ut appears to us ii
would be profitable to farmers having
damaged wheat to put up as many
steers as could be properly handled and
feed them for next springs market.
And we might just add word here:
Great care should be taken in selecting
steers to feed; don't select old oxen
or big, raw-boned, slab-sidcd three-year-
olds, with the hope of having something
Wg. OF course such stock would be
a big granary for damaged wheat, but
it is not the animal that can put most
wheat out of sight that will return
most profit. Select nice, smooth, uni
form two-year-olds, with good backs
and quarters, whose appearance shows
they have some breeding in them. Such
steers will make far better use of the
food given them and will return more
profit, even If they cost more money at
first"

Excellent Tonic for Swine.

All swine kept in confinement seem
to require certain mineral elements to
counterfeit acidity of the stomach, and
unless supplied with something of the
kind lose appetite and cease to feed as
they should. While running on pasture
and having free access to the fresh soil
they do not need it to the same extent,
but still should have it within reach.
The veteran breeder, A. G. Moore, of
Canton, ILL.,, makes it as follows: Three
bushels of wood ashes, one bushel of
charcoal pounded into small pieces, one
bushel of Stacked lime, one bushel of
salt, two pounds of Spanish brown, five
pounds of sulphur, half-pound of cop
pcras and quarter-pound OF saltpeter.
Pulvcrize the last two thoroughly, mix
in a bin or box and keep in an open
trough, where the hogs can have free
access to IT,

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.
The Hen Deserves as Much Thought n
Other Farm Animals.

The Hen Deserves as Much Thought rs
Other Farm Animals.
The science of feeding. says the New
York Times, is supposed to be based
on two elements, one the special neces-
stiles of the animal, the other the
special elements in the food that may
be digested by the animal. In regard
to the feeding of cows, considerable
study has been given to this subject,
but not SO with regard to the feeding
of other farm animals. The hen, for
instance, is never thought of in this
light, but as far as her proportiopate
value as n productive animal goes, she
well deserves study of this kind. So it
is with the pig, for in it's value and
usefulness proportionately it comes
next to the hen and before the COW
that is, there is the most money made
for the amount invested in n hen than
from any other farm animal, and the
pig will easily stand next. Surely
there is reason, then, for studying the
manner of feeding these animals for
the preservation of health and for prod
uct as much rs we study the feeding
OF cows for the same purpose.
The hen is the most productive ami
NAL in existence. When well fed she
will reproduce herself in embryo, at
least, more than 100 times, and in pro-
portion to the size of the animals, the
live produce of hen is much greater,
for counting the weight of her eggs
laid in year, it will be found that the
product is equivalent to four or five
times her own weight. This is as Il
the sow, in her two possible litters in
n year, gave birth to 400 pounds of
little pigs, while but n very small pro-
portion of sows have two litters. Thus
the feeding of hen is to be studied,
and noted as n profitable expenditure
of time and energy.
1t will be II timely thought just now
is not the common undue feeding of
the poultry the cause of those preva-
lent diseases which they share with
the equally ill-fed swine, that are year
ly decimated by that disease known as
cholera-and which is directly attrib-
utable to excess of carbonaceous or
heat producing elements in the food.

RENOvATING CLOTHES.

Exercise of Care Necessary In Making
New from old.
Fixing over is what many women
call a lxnacls, but it is really only the
exercise of care in sponging and turn
ing goods and making new clothes out
Of old.
Black silk dresses will stand more
making over and rejuvenating than
any other, and sponging and careful
pressing gives new life to this fabric,
If it is really of good quality.
There are many recipes for doing the
work, but spirits of ammonia well
diluted is as good rs can be wished.
Ale is also used, but you can seldom
gauge what quantity to take: the
least bit too much makes the silk
sticky and lends a very disagreeable
odor.
Black silks and all nice fabrics
should be sponged lengthwise on the
right side and ironed on the wrong
side, using table or board we'll
covered with flannel for the purpose.
Silks of ordinary coloring may 3e
washed with good soap and water,
rinsed without wringing half dried,
and put between sheets or thin paper
to dry.
Alpacas and mohairs should be
sponged in warm water, adding tea
spoonful of borax to each pint. CASH
meres and wool goods Of the same sort
should be washed in cold water. half q
tcnspoonful OF borax being added to
