MERGER is LEGAL.
Minnesota Judge Says Law Has Not
Been Broken,

st. Paul, Aug. 3.-Judge Lochren in
the United States circuit court has
handed down his decision in the state
of Minnesota against the Northern Se-
curities company, the Great Northern
railway, the Northern Pacific Railway
company and ]. ]. Hill, as president of
the Northern Securities company, and
individually, in which he sustained the
| contentious of the defendants and dis
missed the bill of complaint of the
state. He finds that the Northern Sc
curities company has not violated the
state laws forbidding the consolidation
of parallel and competing lines of rail-
road through its ownership of stock In
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
lions asked by the state of Minnesota
to restrain the securities company
from voting the stock of the two roads
or either of them.
This decision affects the results of
the federal governments victory in the
circuit court in no way whatever. The
federal suit involved the same defend
ants and the same general state Of
facts, but was based on totally differ
ent contention Of law.
The federal suit in which the securi-
ties company was beaten was prose-
cution for violation of the Sherman an
thrust law, passed by the federal con-
gress.
The state suit, in which the securi-
ties company wins, was based on an
allegation that the defendants violated
acts of the Minnesota Legislature, for
bidding the consolidation Of parallel
and competing lines of railway.
The hearing of the state suit was
begun Friday, June 5, before Judge
Lochren In the federal circuit court.
1t followed the submission Of much
testimony by both sides for many
months, in which Frederick G. Inger-
soil of this city, acted as referee. The
final argument lasted five days, in
which Attorney Douglas, former Attor-
ney General George B. Wilson and At
torney NJ D. Mum spoke for the state
and George B. Young M. D. Grover
and G.. w. Bum for the defendants.
The case was submitted Wednesday.
June 10. An appeal to the United
States supreme court is now pending
in the federal suit.

Eastman Bros. of Illinois. in tho
Breeders Gazette, describe the plan
of cattle barn which they have
used for several years.
The barn is 96 feet by 4S feet. 1t
is pole barn with posts 20 feet high,
and corncrib so by IL feet runs
through the center of the barn. The
lower boards of the crib are hinged
and feed boxes built on level with the
crib bottom so as to make practically
n self-feeder, especially when feeding
shelled corn. Hogs sleep under the
corncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are eighty feet
long. Hay Is put In at the ends Of
the barn. Sliding doors, controlled by
weights, are used at the ends of the
NOW. They are closed when the hay
Is in the NOW. There are doors along
side Of the haymow. When filing the
NOV we leave space of four feet
between the hay and the sides of the
barn, which enables us to throw hay
into the racks when feeding. The
south end is open. The north end has
doors which We close in bad weather.
We have lots on the north, south and
east of the barn and scales east of

Feeders who tried finishing cattle on
soft corn reported very unsatisfactory
results But the Iowa experiment sta
tion recently marketed some cattle fed
on soft earn alongside others fed on
sound corn of the 1901 crop, and the
results were decidedly favorable to the
former feed. At the prices for soft
and sound corn prevailing when the
cattle were put on feed the advantage
was with the lower priced corn. And
the steers fed on 1t outdressed by a
small margin those fed on sound corr.
The difference In killing, however, is
not greater than might occur In any
two lots Of cattle. Either the feeders
have been wrong in their estimate Of
the value of soft corn or the Iowa
stations experience is exceptional.
Probably difference in the quality Of
the corn may account for II, as some
feeders include in their definition of
soft" corn the light, chaffy, imma-
ture stuff of comparatively low feed
ing value.-Stockman and Farmer.
