The laying of electric lines through
country districts, and especially where
the steam roads have been paralleled,
has in many parts aroused the rail
road authorities to an unprecedented
pitch of alarm. A remarkable evil
dence of this was offered at a recent
hearing in Connecticut, at which a
railroad committee was considering
the claims of the railroads for protec-
ton from the inroads of the trolley
lines in that district. The vice presi-
dent of a steam read gave figures
from the actual business records Of
the accounting depaNment of his com
pany for the last three months, show
ing the depreciation in receipt OF
fares. which is traced directly TO the
competition by electric railroads,
where they parallel the line Of the
steam roads between stations Nine
teen cases We're quoted of stations be
tween which there had been falling
OF. Between the first two stations
named there had been a depreciation
of 80 percent of the entire business;
between the second two, 80 per cent
of all the business; the remaining see
tons showed respectively a loss OF
$50 per day, 80 per cent OF all bust
ness, 40 per cent of all business, 30
per cent of all business, As per cent Of
all business, so per cent OF all bust
ness. practically all the business ~

This record is not by any means eX-
ceptional. and ii shows the extraor-
binary strides which are now being
taken by the electric trolley service
in country districts. That the steam
railroad companies are at length fully
alive to the situation is shown by the
remarks by which the official supple
mented the presentation of the fig
ures before the committee He said:
Here you have the actual effects OF

Now, is ii right and fair to continue
TO extend these parallel lines across
desert wastes OF the country, TO con
steam roads have, at large expense,
constructed and equipped their roads
and furnished reasonable service and
accommodations to the public? IL
you continue to do 1t the steam road
will certainly cut down its service:
less trains will be run and the incon-
venience will fall on the citizens. To
my mind there is but one remedy-lt
is to confine electric railroads TO their
legitimate limits as street railroads.
Keep them within the cities, the
large towns and the suburbs. The
time has come when the legislature
should say to the promoters Of cleo.

Discovery OF a Noted Watering Place.

The Worcester (Mass.) Gazette re-
calls the fact that Professor Agassiz,
| Dr. Howe. James Russell Lowell and
other companion spirits used to spend
their vacations together in some out
of-the-way unknown spot. DR.. Howe
had at one time a camp, log house
OF some size, on Little Ampersand
Pond, in the Adirondacks, not many
miles from Martins, on the Lower
Saranac, but there was four hours
carry through the woods. 1t was a
small pend off the regular line of boat
travel. 1t was the Agassiz-Howe party
who discovered the little fishing vii
lage OF Bar Hal Dor, on Mount Desert
Island, with the ragged shore below
and Green Mountain looming up in
the near distance. rising as it does
almost out Of the sea. This must have
been about the year 1853 or 1859.
Roberts little old red tavern was the
only imitation Of an inn, and the ma
tives who owned the land were fisher
men and farmers, or little Of both.
An investment of few dollars in land
in those days would have been better
than Calumet and Hecla stock. The
Cam bridge men told their friends
about Mount Desert, and Bar Harbor
became in time the most popular
Watering place on the coast.

Pure Air and Medicine.

It isn't drugs or medicines that is
needed at all it is pleIty of the purest
air that can be bad. Open the win
dows and the doors, clear out the Gel
lars and ventllate it thoroughly, re-
move the dampness, the muslin ness, the
ancient odor, the smell of decay which
greets the nostrils when one enters
from the health-giving atmosphere
out Of doors. Never mind if the out
er air bears the faint of the gas house,
the manutactory or some other I'M
pleasant thing; it is also mingled with
the health and strengthening forces
of Natu re, and is certainly better for
the human system than the same air
which has been shut up and contain
mated far an indefinite period with no
chance for publication. Don't mind
even if little dust is brought in; q
few minutes with the buster will put
the house in perfect order again, and
even at the worst, dust is not half SO
bad as disease. And as for fear of
draughts, with colds and thousand
resultant evils following in their train,
nineteen-twentieths of that is imagin-
airy, and the other twentieth is easily
avoidable. Good housekeeping.

Cotton Wool in the NOstrils.

Says Dr. E. P. Mann in the Pacific
Medical journal: "Abundant expert
ment long ago demonstrated that cot
ton wool was capable of arresting
germinal matter with which the air is
filled. By placing within the nostriJs,
out of sight, a thin pledget of cotton,
not sufficiently dense to interfere with
free inspiration, the air may be greatly
purified. The cotton Immediately be-
comes moistened during expiration,
which adds materially to it's efficiency
as filter. That, thus placed, it will
arrest dust, particles of SCOT, ETC., may
be easily shown by Introducing the
pledgets, and then, after an hours
walk through the streets, removing
them, when they will be found black
ened and soileG Microscopical ex-
animation discloses quite museum

the displays are found various forms

1zed " passing feet, thus iberating

genial soil, will produce catarrh to

animal will as quickly deteriorate from
it as the hog. Select pure bred SOW
from one to two years of age, of good
length, heavy quarters and short
snout. The boar should also be
heavily quartered, well proportional
and evenly made. Sows should be
bred to farrow about the middle OF
April and the pigs should be kept
growing until ready for market Fall
pigs, unless weighing from thirty to
forty pounds when going into winter
quarters, are usually Improbable.
Feed the brood SOW sparingly of corn
but give her plenty of bran and mid
dlings. Some feeders argue that a
SOW will do better at narrowing if she
be thin in flesh. This is true if she
has been fed on corn, but if fed as rec
commended above, she will do much
better by her pigs if in good flesh. A
few roots and an occasional feed Of
clover hay are very healthful and will
be enjoyed by the SOW. Care should
be taken not to overfeed her for few
days preceding narrowing and for two
weeks after, as the pigs cannot dispose
of too much milk at that age. But
after that feed the SOW all she will eat
of mixed ration of corn meal, oat
meal and bran, with ground barley
and middlings for an occasional
change. AS soon as the pigs are old
enough to eat slop they should be
allowed the freedom of a pen apart
from the SOW, where they can be fed
separately. -New England Homestead.

UTILIZING THE WASTE.

A good plan whereby farmer may
utilize more waste is to have a spot
set aside into which all the kitchen
and table waste in the shape of meat
scraps, pieces of bread, uneaten vege-
tables, etc, may be thrown. Heat
this up il the morning with boiling
water, and mix in bran, shorts, prov
ender, or whatever is cheapest and
most abundant on the farm, until the
whole is a crumbly mess, says the
manager of the Poultry Department
of the Canadian Central Experiment
Farm. A small quantity of black and
red pepper should be busted in before
mixing. Let the mixture stand for a
few minutes until partially cooked,
and feed in a narrow, clean trough to
the layers in the morning A light
feed of oats at noon, and liberal ra-
zion of wheat, buckwheat, or other
grain for the evening meal should
bring plenty of eggs.
Each layer should be sent to roost
with full crop to carry her over the
long night fast 1t is imperative that
green food in the shape OF marketable
vegetables, clover hay or lawn clip
pings-the two latter dried IN sum
mer and put away to be steamed for
winter use-should be supplied. L
green bones are fed they may be given
in lieu of any of the regular rations,
reducing the quantity of grain in pro-
portion to the quantity of bone used.

HOW CREAM Is RIPEEEn.

The cream is best skinned when
rather thick, that is, when it may be
almost rolled up OF the pan and lifted
in a sort of cake. Il viii then con-
tain about twenty per cent. of milk,
and some milk must then be poured
into the cream jlr with the cream,
and the whole stirred to mix the two
intimately. This stirring Is done
every time the cream is added, and
the third milking should be the last
before the cream is churned. The
cream will ripen of itself if it is kept
in warm place all this time, at not
less than sixty degrees Of temperature
At the end of this time the surface
will glisten like satin when it is
stirred, and this is a good indication
of its full ripening for the churnlng.
Otherwise, the cream may be set on
the addition of the last cream, by mix
ing half pint Of the buttermilk from
the last can, churning to five gallons
of the cream and stirring it we'll :;
then, at a temperature of sixty or
sixty-tive degrees the cream will be
ready for churning in twelve hours.
This will yield the fnest-havored but
ter, that is fit for the finest tables in
a few hours after it is made, OF for
some tastes it is churned for every
meal. and eaten as it is chul ned.
Cream thus favored will make a very
delicately favored butter New York

A NEW DIRK VILLAGE BURNED.
Fort r.d-iness Places in Hamilton De
stroyed with Loss of 100000.

At $50 p. m. a fire started in the furniture
store Of Rowland & Beal, in Hamilton. vii
lage twenty miles south of Utica, N. Y, and
the seat of College University. The one en-
CINE in the village was frozen up, the water
pressure of a new system of water works was
miserably small and the fire swept the bust
ness portion of the town. A stiff breeze
famed the flames, and before aid could be
sent from Utica and the surrounding villages.
forty business places were totally dstroyed.
The burned district includes the Smith
block, erected at a cost Of $50. 900; the Tripp,
three-story brick building, the Davis three
story brick building; the Trip Opera House,
the Shores brick building, the National Ham
ilton Bank the Postof1ce. the engine house,
the Masonic Hall, the Hamilton Sentinel
building, the ROwlands building, the Mott
brick building, Dodge estate stone building.

Meldon's brick building, Haskelrs building,
the Rice building and the Smith estate build
ing.
These are the principal structures, and in
them were many stores and offices. Prac-
tically nothing was saved. Merchandise and
goods which were removed to the street
caught fire and burned.
A conservative estimate places the loss at
$500, 600, with a nominal insurance.

Fond AdnlterltIOn.

A recent Washington dispatch says
the Consul at Annaberg has reported
to the Department of State the result
of the Investigations conductedb by the
Society for the Prevention of the
Adulteration of Food in Saxony, show
ing that of 715 analyses made by the
chemist of the asso citation. 1913, or
17.9 per. cent, showed Objectionable
adult erations. OF nine samples OF
American dried fruits examined, eight
were found Objectionable. The fruit
had nice white color, but, as they
were dried on zinc plates, they con-
tanned the injurious substances of that
metal. While in former years they
were freely admitted to the market,
their sale has been prohibited during
the past year.
Oil of citron contained only an in
significant per cent. Of the real oil,
the balance being other ingredients
and alcohol. Butter, particularly that
from Austrian dealers, contained CO.
coanut oil, sesame oil, tallow, etc.
textile fabrics were dyed with pois-
onous colors and wool stuffs showed
cotton admixtures up to eighty-fve
per cent. Spices with which meats
had been prepared contained tannin,
and sausages contained living para
sites. Fruit juices were colored with
chemicals. A sample Of coffee was
found to be impre2nated with animal
refuse. Rye flour was adulterated
with rice flour, and buckwheat with
starch. Bran was a composition Of
wheat and rye, bran, sand dust and
mite eggs. Olive oil was found to be
nothing but grape seed oil perfumed
with rosemary ell, the adulteratiou
being SO carefully done that expert
euced merchants could not detect it.

WHERE PALMS FLOURISH.

Palms at home have a peaty soil,
but will do well and probably live
longer in mixture OF sandy loan and
well-decayed manure, with O sprink-
ling of charcoal to keep it sweet. The
soil must be we'll drained, and the tub
or pot should fit close about the roots,
says the Philadelphia Press. Palms
are easy to grow in the conditions of
the ordinary dwelling, and nothing
appears 60 greater advantage at SO
little cost. A successful grower Of
palms ordered her plants from q dis
tant florist. The plants, when they
came by express, had a good ball of
soil about the roots; this, wrapped
first about with burlaps, then with
strong paper. The pots for the plants
were five inches more in diameter than
the thickest part of the roots. In the
pot were first put broken pieces of
crock and charcoal to the depth of
three inches for drainage, then a half
inch of potting material, and upon
this the root was rested. The earth
was then packed in firmly to an inch
of the pot The amount of drainage
and earth under the root was deter
mined by the size, the rule being to
have the stem of the plant meet the
surface OF the soil. The secret of sue

KOREA IS INDEPENDENT.
Notice to That Effect Served on the Cal.
ness Minister in Washington.


ness Minister in Washington.
The Korean Legation has served notice on
the Chinese Minister at Washington that
Korea is independent, fact that he had
ignored in sending the Korean Charge d At
flares a copy Of the Chinese almanac for the
current year. Ordinarily the presentation Of
a calendar might not be considered matter
Of great importance, but the Chinese years
are arbitrarily managed by the Emperor
Kwang Sn, who has arranged for this year 70
have thirteen months, including an addi-
tionaI month of May. This calendar Is an
nually distributed to the subjects Of the En-
peror and to the rulers of yassal States, VINO
are commanded to govern their dates by the
Emperor's system. Heretofore the Koreans
have used the Chinese year, most OF their
transactions being with China, and this has
been considered by China a satisfactory proof
OF yassalage. When Yang Yu. the Chinese
Minister at Washington, sent the Koreans an
official calendar several days ago it was
promptly returned to him with notice that
thew had no use for it, as hereafter they in
tended to count time as othsr civilized Ma
tioTus.
1t is understood that the Korean Legation
has hitherto accepted this annual gilt from
the Chinese Minister who has thus been able
to declare that the Korean Representatives,
America was subject 70 his authority. After
this, however, he will have nothing to base
his claim upon.

MUTTON AND WOOL.

A few years ago farmers kept sheep
for wool alone, the carcass of the ami
nal did not enter into consideration

sudden demand for good mutton and
first class lamb. The fleece sank in
the opinion of the breeders as the
meat rose. The talk is to-day entirely
of the mutton sheep" and few farm
ers realize that the famous English
broeds dim to produce both wool and
mutton OF the best quality and in
largo quantities. While mutton is the
first consideration, it is by no means
the only one. The fleece, the young
lambs, the sales for breeding purposes
and the enrichment they give the land

points that the English farmer has
managed to exist. Now York World.
