Intensive System Of DafryfnE.

In describing what may be termed
the intensive system of dairying, an
English authority tells us that the
cows should be we'll groomed daily
and in hot weather they are all the
better for a cold shower bath in the
morning. This can be readily given
where there is a supply of water by
gravitation, by means of an India rub
ber hose. The COWS are easily kept
clean and thrive we'll under such
treatment. They never leave their
stalls and when the milk yield falls
below eight quarts a day they are
sold.

RAILROAD RATES.
A Gradual Change Which Is One
of the Features of American
Railronding.

Through causes wholly beyond the
power of railroad. managers to change
increased competition between the
trunk lines, the lower price of many
commodities, the rival service of troll
ley and cable lines, the improvement of
roadways for heavy traffic, the aboli-
tion of tollgates and the abandonment
ofcanal charges is steady and
apparently uncomfortable trend down.
ward of transport alton rates for freight
on American railroads which is met by
econ nomical operations in every depart
1nent. Economy in the use of fuel, in
the force of train hands employed and
otherwise is possible, but the chief re-
source in meeting these reductions in
revenue is by the increase of train loads.
\ general realization of this fact
among American railroad men has led
to general new development of the
facilities of transportation which bids
fair to transform some of the old meth
ods in use for handling freight.
The most marked economy in opera
ton is attained through the lengthen-
ing of trains whereby a single engine
without additional cost for train serv-
ice can draw as much as so per cent.
additional freight through the use of
heavier steel rails, the substitution of
iron for wooden bridges, stone ma
sonry for earth embankments, auto
matte brakes for those operated by
hand, stone for earth ballast and the
gradual abolition of grade crossings,
WHICH in many parts Of: the country
entail considerable expense. Long
freight trains: are esh0 more difficult to
way ": that 7he sataafty 6f f the locomo-
tive is not overtaxed, that the roadbed
is in good condition, and that the grad
tents are not too steep. On many
American lines there is in constant
progress plan of modifying the Steep
er grades and doing away with curves,
whereby the cost Ut railroad opera
tions is lowered to keep pace with the
reduction in the rates charged.
On all American roads last year. more
than 1,O00,000,0OO tons of freight were
carried and the operating expenses of
American railroads were about 81 ,OOO,-
100000, exclusive of the sums devoted
to new construction and to improve
ments in the roads, their equipment
and their terminal facilities. The prac-
teal effect of the change must clearly
be the great improvement of American
railroad service, and evidences of this
improvement are not difficult to find.
for with the addition to the carrying
capacity of the roads through their i'm
provement in construction and eouip-
nent have come two other benefits,
speedier service anu reduction in the
number of accidents. Speedier service
enlarges the market for shippers in
many lines of product, especially in
fruits, vegetables. dairy products and
live stock, and the reduction in the
number CT accidents has relieved the
railroads in recent years of an onerous
item of unproductive expenditure.-N.
