FIGHT OVER A TRANSFER,
William E. Johns, Stockbroker,
Thrown Off a PoSt.Street
Car.
He Had Walked a Block From the
Transfer Point, Which Caused
the Trouble.

William E. Johns, young stockbroker,
was thrown from Post-street car No. 70S
yesterday afternoon by the conductor, C..
L. Healy, and the gripman, and at Hea-
ly's request Policeman Coughlin arrested
Johns for battery.
Johns left his home at 756 Oak street
about o'clock and boarded Hayes-street
car to go to the Olympic Club, of which he
is member. At Hayes and Polk streets
he got a transfer to the Post-street cars,
which was punched good till clock.
AS there was no Post-street car in sight,
Johns walked along to the corner of Grove
street, and when car 7O8 overlook him he
boarded it. Healy asked him for his fare
and he presented the transfer.
Without looking at it Healy said, 'That
is no good; l want your fare"
why" said Johns, ''the transfer is good
till o'clock, and it wants twenty-five min
utes to the hour vet. Look at it and see
for yourself"
81 won't look at it," retorted Healy.
You should have come on at Hayes and
Polk. Give me your fare or I'll throw
you off the car. :"
Johns refused to give him another fare
and Healy signaled the gripman to stop.
and on hearing Healy's threat they started
from their seats. Johns sat patiently
waiting developments, and they came
soon. Healy and the gripman grabbed
hold of Johns and forcibly elected him
from the car. Then the fun began. Healy
lost his temper and struck Johns on the
jaw. Johns promptly shot out his right
and left into Healv's face, and Healy
staggered as if hit with a sledgehammer
The gripman ran across the street, and
Johns with well-directed kick accelerated
his speed.
A car approached from the Post-street
terminus, and Healy got the conductor
and gripman to come to his assistance.
They advanced upon Johns, but after siz-
ing up the athletic young stockbroker the
re-enforcements beat retreat.
By this time crowd had gathered and
Policeman Coughlin, who was returning
from the branch postoffice, went along to
see what was the matter. Healy ordered
him to arrest Johns on the charge of
battery, and Johns was followed to the
City Prison by crowd of sympathizers.
He was soon released on bail.

braska street; Samuel A. O'Hara, 1923

on the car, will appear as witnesses for
Johns.
1t is likely that the affair will result in
civil suit against the company, which will
test the question as to whether passenger
is compelled to stand at the transfer point.

John E. Gleeson is the proud possessor
of walking-cane made from one of the

plause. on the condition that he would not
part with it as long as he lived.

Agriculture,

Better go back to the time of the
cradle and the scythe than to aban-
don the silo; it is the most import
ant invention of the age. It increas-
es the crop by increasing the nut
riment, and it is the nutriment we
are after rather than the bulk,
There is nothing which answers the
problem of saving as does the silo,
For the silo we do not have to cut
the corn by hand, nor paw for the
husking or cribbing, nor for the loss
from mice or Smelling, nor haul to
the mill, nor pay the 1.-THE for grind
ing. Stalks and cobs are saved, and
the yards not Uttered up with them.
To be without Silo is to be % wears
behind the time.
The gardener often grows two or
three crops from the same land in
one season: This is economy, for he
manures so highly and cultiyates SO
thoroughly for the first crop that the
soil is filled with plant food which
would be wasted away if something
were not planted to gather it up.
Thus many of our fields might pro-
duce a late crop of something better
than chick weed.
We are not saving people. We
have yet TO learn the art from those
who are still cultivating the lands
used by their grandfathers, on the
other side Of the water. Necessity
may some day teach us to look after
little things. A truck farmer, from
his culls and refuse, may feed as

liam Penn was the fastest trotting
stallion of last season and secured a
record of 2.0714. Trainer Macy, of

that he will ride fast behind the
Pennsylvania stallion.
Says "Grattan" in The Review
"a careful student of existing con-
ditions, and who is an enthusiastic
wheelman. gives me his views on the
causes of the existing depression in
business. 1T is the bicycle fever,
he says. Thousands upon thou
sands of people, young and old, have
bought, or are buying bicycles, either
for cash or on the installment plan
With the wheel each must buy a
proper costume. Then repairs must
be paid for, and as fashions change
in wheels every year, many pur-
chase new machines at the begin
ming of every season. The result is
that millions of dollars have been,
and are being, diverted from the
regular channels of trade, causing
stagnation in many lines that have
heretofore prospered. The clothing
dealer suffers because the customer
who formerly bought a business
suit in the spring and another in the
fall, buys now cheap bicycle suit
and wears it to business, making il
do the work that was formerly done
by two suits. The shoe dealer is also
a sufferer, so is the halter and the
gents furnisher. lam satisfied that
the bike craze has diverted $50O,0OO
900 already from the regular chan
nels, without doing the smallest
fraction of good it would have done
! if circulated as it would otherwise
have been. Amusement caterers
have not escaped. In fact the fever
has sent everything topsey-turvey,
and until the world is Te-adiusted tC
conform to the order of things there
will be no return of real prosperity.
L confess that the matter had not
appeared to me in that light, but ]
believe the gentleman quoted is cor.
rect as to his diagnosis. If he is, the
horse business is not alone in its ca
pacity of victim, and perhaps has
| suffered less than have many others. :

Stock.

1t is doubtful if any variety of sheep
is mol profitable to the general farmer,
or has made more money for him in the
past, than the old fashioned American
merino This breed, developed from
the Spanish merino, has been so i'm
proved by careful work that it is now
thoroughly adapted to our climate, and
we'll suited to the needs Of the sheep
raisers.
There is such thing as feeding lambs
and ewes either for wool or mutton. III
for wool only, pasture diet is gener-
ally sufficient; but when for mutton or
an increase in the wool, grain is essen
tial. For good mutton both ewes and
lambs need grain food. There is good
mixture in corn meal and flax seed oil
meal.
1t is sometimes easier to find a buyer
than it is to close a sale with him. Too
many mistakes are made right there.
The seller forgets that he wants to sell,
and sees only an opportunity to raise
the price just little, and he loses Gus
toner and a sale. For the sake of a few
dollars he keeps his horse or his COW
another year.
Sell when ready. 1t never behoOves
MS to work ourselves up to point where
we think an animal will bring more

time and care given to other stock will
make up the difference. At a later date
we are apt to take less price than we
were formerly offered.
We should be careful not to Overstock
pastures. If young and growing ami
mails are kept poor part of the year
they will hardly thrive during the rest,
nor will they ever attain their proper
portion and size; yet young animals
may be fed on coarse and succulent
food, and they will do better than those
which are of maturer age and more cap
able of being fattened.
Every wise cattle dealer is trying to
improve his stock-is trying to grade
up; but all are not wise III their methods,
for some are trying to do it with grade
bulls. This process is not only too slow
to be of profit, but is unsatisfactory in
its final results. Do not try it. Too Of
ten the progress is downward.
Judging from evidences in sight, one
would think fair managers considered
cattle business as rather small potatoes.
Notice the difference in the value of
premiums offered upon bulls and upon
stations. Is the term agricultural
fair" altogether misnomer? 1t is the
racer and not the farm products which
carries away the purses.
A very large amount of roughness can
be used when feeding cattle for growth,
and the cost much reduced in this way I;
but when feeding for flesh the rations
must consist largely of grains, and
grains the richest good health will per-
nit. In either case care must be used
to maintain steady gain.
How large a silo to build for the stock?
Allow one foot of settled silage for each
animal every day, and figure on feed

Star Pointer was a very fast horse
last season in Ed. Geer's hands and
there are a number of people who be-
lieve that the stallion is capable of
beating any horse in the pacing di-
vision this season. If he is raced he
is pretty sure of being in the same
trainers hands.

much stock as does neighber from
the entire product of like tract.
The using of tools does not wear
them out so rapidly as do rain, rust
and exposure. Because one has no
fine barn or nicely built shed he is
not eXcusable if he does not care tor
his implements of industry. He who
will not provide some sufficient
makeshift will never see the day
when he will be able to put up the
good buildings.
Throwing away the "seed end" OF
potatoes has been advocated on the
assumption that one thus reduces
the tendency to produce small tubers.
Experiments have not justified such
practice. In any event, before so
doing farmer should make a test
by planting clusters of ewes by
themselves, and noting the result.
See that the earth is banked up
about the newly set fence posts, so
that the water will keep away from
them; otherwise the water will set
tie about them, causing them 20 de-
cay and to break off near the ground,
which is common thing with fen
ces not yet old by any means.
1t is the part of wisdom to seplow
a badly frosted field of potatoes, and
plant it to corn or other crop; after
a frost new shoots may branch out,
if left to grow, but the performance
is not equal to the promise. If a
frost threatens, throw a ridge of
earth over the rows, and this can
afterward be leveled down with the
harrow.
AS rule the cauliflower will do
well where cabbage will, though
somewhat more tender. The ground
must be rich, and kept moist, nat
urally or artificially. In the home
garden, soap suds and other Stops
can be poured around them with
profit, when we'll along in growth.
How few of the novelties of the
last 10 years have proved valuable?
Farmers do not wish to be behind
the times, but they should go eau
tiously. 1t is not we'll to be carried
away by our pride in having the
very newest; this is the work of our
experiment stations, and of those
farmers who have both the strong
inclination and the time and means.
Pumpkins fill well the gap between
summer pasturage and winter barn
feeding, and keep up the flow of
milk in cattle which is so apt to fall
off about this time. They are the
cheapest and most easily raised of
all our winter green foods. They do
not do their best in corn fields, but
on even poor ground will do we'll by
themselves if the hills are MANFRED
at time of planting.
Avoid deep roofing crops in thin
exhausted soil. Kainit and plaster
will furnish to the surface soil pot
ash, lime, magnesia and sulphuric
acid; spare what stable manure is
possible, remembering that it can
not assimilate overmuch. Have a
crop of peas to turn under the next
year, after an application of more
mineral fertilizers, and the field
will be ready for regular crops.
The farmer and his family should
live better than any one else in the
world. If they can not increase
values and make their crops worth
more money, they may improve their
condition and make life easier by
producing more of the luxuries and
using them at home. Some do; if
Others do not, it is their own fault
yes, misfortune.
