THE RISE IN SILVER.
Several Railroad Systems VIII BE Bene-

ft~d by II.
New York, Oct. I2.-The upward
tendency Of the market for silver il at
tracing close attention both here and
in Europe. The headquarters Of the
speculation in silver is in London, but
its price, among other influences, has a
distinct bearing upon securities Of
several OF our railway systems, as we'll
az those Of the Mexican lines The rise
in silver. If continued, would affect the
last mentioned properties in three sep.
arate ways.
First. in the gross earnings, as the
predominant industry in Mexico is the
mining Of silver. which has been con-
tiDued, despite the fall in its price,
and would naturally be stimulated by
an increase in its value. This would,
of course, mean an increase in the earn
ings Of the roads which traverse the
mining districts.
Second, the roads would be benefited
by reduction in their operating ex-
penses, about one. third of which are
paid in gold.
Third. a high price for silver in.
creases the capacity Of roads to meet
their fixed charges. which are payable
in gold.
As an illustration, it has been care
fully estimated that il the Mexican
Central railroad had received the same
price in 1894 for silver as that obtain.
ed in 1892, instead Of a deficit of $780,
600 for 1894, as actually shown, the
road would have earned a substantial
surplus above fixed charges. Also that
the Mexican National, with the same
rate Of exchange as existed in 1890.
would have earned in 1894 full interest
on both prior lien and "a" bonds.
In the United States the Rocky
mountain roads would be favorably
affe :ted by further appreciation in the
price Of the white metal. and more
particularly the people who are inter
ested in the rehabilitation of the Union
Pacific system. 1t will be remembered
after the Barring crisis in 1890, the
Union Pacific difficulties were adjusted
under the administration Of ]. Pier.
pont Morgan and the issue Of a large
collateral trust. For three years fol.
lowing that time, until the silver crisis
in 1898, the property reflected steadily
improving conditions, with the result,
that the securities advanced so that a
large amount of the collateral trus,
notes were retired.
When the silver collapse occurred
the road went into the hands Of re
ceivers, although no charges of irreg
ularities or incompetency were brought
against the management 1t was sim
ply case of lost earning power, due
to the fact that the leading industry O

ton of the road traversed had beef

NEW CHINESE RAILWAY.
Government Line From Chin Kiang to
Tisn Tstn.

t3h
San Francisco, Oct l0.-Charles K.
Hoardman. the representative of sew.
eral Pennsylvania rolling mills, is in
the city. Mr.. Hoardman arrived from
China on the last steamer. He con-
firms recent reports that the Chinese
government is seriously thinking of
constructing a railroad for distance
of 6s5 miles from Chin Kiang to Tien
Tsin, and thought there would be con-
siderable rivalry between English and
American mills to sell the Chinese
large orders for steel rail. Mr.. Hoard
man says that from what he could as.
certain it is not the intention to have
the road directly enter Picking, al
though it it only about hundred miles
from the terminus at Tien Tsin. Su-
perstition as well as a desire not 20
have a road into the capital which
would enable an enemy to readily reach
it in time of war, are supposed TO be
the reasons. Chin kiang is the south
ern commercial city of the country, the
center of great tea and grain region.
Continuing the gentleman said:
Il, of course, know nothing about
the matter. know that the general
impression in Hong Kong is that the
enterprise will be undertaken and the
Russians have the best chance of Sc.
curing the loan for building the line,
The Russians, it is thought, will take
the bonds of the road, principal and
interest being guaranteed by the Chi
nese government The road will be

and cooperation of all life insurance
companies. The resolutions are as fol-
lows:

Going Into Dairying.

The man who goes into dairying.
says L. S. Hardin, must not forget that
he must outline some method for max
ing profit out of the by-product of his
dairy. This will consis. of skimmilk,
buttermilk or whey. They cannot be
fed back to the COW to make more milk
Of and. according to the opinions Of
many of the best dairymen. this is the
best disposition TO make of these ar
ticles- Then there are calves to feed
with them, but probab bly, better than all
in the hands of the average man the
pig is the best factor for working ont a
profit. He will eat unlimited quanti-
ties Of skimmilk. buttermilk or whey
and get fat on all OF them, but he will
be wasteful unless the feeding is done
in the right way. For this purpose
there is much to learn, both about the
nature of this kind of feed and the hog
himself. The milk or whey must not
be too old or sour. and it must be fed
in conjunction with ground feed in the
proper proportion. The hog must not
be too old or of n-fattening kind,
but he should be young enough to take
kindly TO milk and of a breed that
knows how to utilize the muscle and
fat-forming qualities of feed. In
other words the subject must be studied
and all modern knowledge on the sub.
ject learned. There are excellent sta
ton bulletins ON the subject for those
who will take the trouble to hunt
them up, but no very modern book
bearing directly on this point. Harris
"On the Pig" was once the best book
about breeding and feeding pigs, and
we'll worth studying, especially in con-
junction with the bulletins referred to.

MATCHING AND REARING CHICKS
The Poultry A rehitect Gives Some G God
Ideas which May Re Of Inter-
est to P0altry Raisers.

Almost every poultry feeder has
some particular way of Matching and
rearing chickens, and the following
novel plan, in the Poultry Architect,
has some good ideas that may be Of in.
terest to our readers: The plan con.
stists in having q separate yard and
house. for every three sitting hens.
The house consists of a small lean.to
shed, built Of matched boards or other
material, and lined on the inside with
tarred roofing. The house occupies a
space of 4x5 feet on the ground, is four
feet high ON the back, and five feet in
front Has a door two feet wide. Ii
also has a 2x4 foot-window in the
front, facing the yard. to admit the
sun. The house is foored with
matched flooring, raised six inches
above the ground. Adjoining the
house is yard 9x1O feet in size, in
which feed, water and a busting box
are always ready for the hens, they be-
ing allowed to come of and go back at
their pleasure, after being started right
Three hens are to be set at the same
time, so that when they hatch the
chickens can all be given to one hen,
and the other two hens given their lib.
erty or set in another house Of the
same character. The hen is kept con.
fined in this house or yard until the
chicks are weaned, when she is given
her liberty. and the chicks left to keep
house for themselves until sold or
otherwise disposed Of. Low roosts are
to be supplied for them if kept beyond
the broiler age. The small hole or
ventilator, above the door, is to be kept
closed at all times, except during the
summer or early fall months. The
window sash should also be removed at
this time, and replaced with a frame
covered with wire netting. A brooder
can be used in this house to hover the
chicks The advantages of this plan
are, tie feeding and watering can all
be done at one time; the hens can be
allowed TO come off and go back at
their will, thus saving watching; be-
ing separated from other hens and
stock, they are not worried or disturb
ed; there being only three hens to the
house they do not fight or get on the
wrong nest; convenience and general
good results These houses or yards
are built in row, and face a large
grass or clover plot and cultivated field,
into which the chicks are allowed to
range at will.
