AND NO SETTLEMENT YET.

Council Reoonsldoes Bufllngt0n'G Second
Avenue Track 0rAntR.
The ordinance granting the Bur-
lington railway track privileges
across Second avenue to its depot
property WAS reconsidered by the
city council at its special meeting
yesterday afternoon. The aldermen
in passing the ordinance, it appears,
were under the impression that the
Burlington had secured the consent
Of property holders to cross the av-
enue in the vicinity where 1t was
proposed to lay the track. But such
was not the case. J. F. Lardner,
general manager Of the Tri.C City Rail.
way company. was present at yester-
days session. He said bis company
had extensive interests on Sec
ond avenue and that it was
the intention to construct the track
in question in front of his property.
He wished to protest against this.
His company had not consented to
the laying Of the track, and he be.
lieved it should be given as much con-
sideration at the hands of the council
as other property holders. c. L.
Walker. attorney for the Burlington,
spoke in support of the ordinance.
G. F. Loweth, engineer for the Ter
minal company. said the idea Of the
Burlington crossing Second avenue
was not satisfactory to his
company. Tbereupon, Mr.. Lard
ner suggested reconsideration
Iof the ordinance. This the
council did on motion Of Ald9
Wheelan. The fact has also been de-
veloped that the arrangement be-
tween the Burlington and Terminal
companies for the joint use of the
tracks from point near Twentieth
street east to Brooks crossing, is
still hanging in the balance. At least
SO says F. P. Blair, president Of the
Terminal company. Ha states that
the agreement has been drawn up,
but the Burlington folks have not yet
attached their signature to it.
The council accepted the lower

DECIDES AGAINST THEM.
Cornplsnter Employer Appeal ACTED Upon
By Arbitration.

~ Arbitration
The state board OF arbitration has
decided against the employees of the
cornplanter works in Moline on the
ST. ength of q recent hearing as to an
increase in wages. A Springfield d
dispatch says: 1.-THE state board of
arbitration today rendered decision
in the matter Of the joint application
Of the Deere & Mansur company, of
Moline, and certain of their EN-.
ployes. The Deere & Mansur COM
psny is engaged in manufacturing
agricultural implements. The en-
ployes in the painting department.
about thirty in number, demanded
an increase Of wages, amounting in
some instances to 100 per cent over
prevailing prices. The company re.
fused to grant the advance, and,
without suspending operations, both
sides joined in petition for arbitra.
ton. In its decision the arbitration
board Gays that the only reason set
forth for the demand for increased
wages was the alleged fact that
higher wages were being paid for
the same kind OF work by competing
companies. The board finds that the
employees were misinformed as to the
wages paid BY other companies. The
day wages paid by the Deere & Man.
sur company are higher than the
wages paid BY most Of its competi.
tors. while the prices for piece WORK
average quite as much Is the prices
paid BY the other companies. The
board finds, therefore, that the de.
manded increase Of wages is without
sufficient Justification"

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE HORSES FEEL.
They Should Receive Constant
and Careful Attention.

Why They Should Receive Constant
and Careful Attention.
From the birth to the death of the
horse, says a fellow of the Royal Col
lege Of Veterinary Surgeons, the hoof
requires attention, if it is to be kept in
a healthy condition. 1t is before the
hoof is shed that the feet are generally
neglected, and the animals suffer ac-
cordingly. because they are young and
immature, and the bones and other it's
sues are soft, and could be easily dis
torted to suit the conditions under
which they are kept. The feet of foals
and growing horses should therefore
have attention given them, since neglect
at that period often sows the seeds of
continuous trouble. The hoofs should
he kept clean by being picked out"
as often as possible to prevent any sort
OF hard substance being buried in the
assures of the feet. They should be
examined from time to time (say every
six or eight weeks), to detect any de-
fects of shape that might be taking
place. If the feet are not growing level
and symmetrical, they should be made
so by rasping away the horn which is
not naturally worn down. If this is neg
lected the animal will SCOT have the
fetlock joint bending over towards
the outside. On no p%retense whatever
should the front of the wall be inter-
fered with, for the glazed coating of its
surface protects the horn beneath it;
it should therefore be left untouched.
1t would be as well to disahuse peo-
Fle's minds of a very popular fallacy
Viz, that wet, soft ground, and eve
manure yards, are the best places to
keep young horses-and some would
even have the frogs and solcs pared
thin to allow the moisture to penetrate
more easily. No greater mistake is
made than this, for the preservation of
the hoof depends 10 a great extent upon
the sod the animal was reared on. The
best footed horses are bred on dry
soils, and that is undoubtedly the kind
of ground best adapted to the healthy
growth of horn. Young horses re-
quire plenty of exercise. and unless
they are allowed it, the growth of the
horn, etc, is sure to be defective. Then
the question arises: when ought a
horse to be first shod?" The answer is,
when the work required of the animal
wears the horn away faster than it is
formed or grown, or in other words,
so long as the horn of the foot can
stand the wear required, it will not
need protecting (~shoeing). Moreover,
if the young horses are not shod sc
early, they will not be worked so hard.
and fewer would be ruined in their
youth, as is too often the case at the
present time.
