Value Of Salt For Sheep.

Experiments recently made in
France for the purpose Of ascertqining
the nutrltive value Of salt for sheep
show that sheep which had been fed
salt gained in weight four and. a half
pounds more than those which re-
ceived no salt. Moreover, the sheep
which received salt produced one and
three-quarter pounds more wool and
Of a better quality than those which
received no salt.
It is in accord with the experiences
In this country also. Perhaps no care
full experiments have been made to
show these facts, as III France, yet the
observations Of flock masters are to
the effect that salt Is q very essential
thing for sheep, and it is their prac-
lice generally to supply it regularly.

The Fat Cattle.

But few cattle reach the market that
are as fat as they might be, and 1t Is
frequently the case that steers could
be made to weigh 100 or more pounds
if properly prepared for market. A
fat steer that can be made to take on
100 pounds more will not only have the
additional value in weight, but will
bring one or two more cents more per
pound; hence, the additional 100
pounds may add from SIS to $50 to the
value Of the animal, and at small cost.
Marketing Products.
Farmers often allow their stock to
60 on the market in an unfit condition,
and in consequence, realize unsatisfac-
tory prices. Others market fruit, veg
etables, grains, ETC., without being
properly sorted and cleaned. The diff
ference between marketing products
in this condition possible is the diff
ference between marketing a finished
and unfinished product, and the prices
realized are generally in proportion.

Sense of Security Shaken.

Employees on the roads which were known
as the Northern Securities lines, who
feared decapitation through the merging
of the three transcontinental lines in a
close community of interests, are still
uneasy, lot knowing what the future has
in store for them. When the offices of
the Union and Southern Pacific were con-
solidated, the men singled out for decapi-
tation received letters instructing them to
turn over books, papers and office fixtures
to other individuals, with the further no
tice that on and after a certain date their
services would no longer be required. Some
had been in the service of the company
ten years or more. In speaking of this, a
well-known official said yesterday: Rail
road employees. as a rule, do as much and
as capable service for the remuneration
received as men engaged in other lines of
industry. They devote themselves to
the duties with faithfulness. This is owing
to the feeling that in return for faithful
and efficient service they will not lack
employment. For this reason railroad en-
ployes are usually secure in their positions,
but just now that sense of security is some
what shaken by the possibilities which
confront men so engaged. The appoint
ment OF chief director of transportation
for all the Hartman lines foreshadows
what is coming
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-04-09

There exists at the present moment strong
community of interest between nearly all the
great railroad Systems of the West. This COM
munity of interest is clearly indicated in the
personnel of the directorates Of these companies.
From a study of these directorates il is a
natural and perfectly correct inference that for
instance. the leading interests in st. Paul are
already deeply interested in Union Pacific; the
leading interests in Missouri Pacific deeply in
terested in Union and Southern Pacifc-and so
on through the list. To illustrate take the

"Tap Linev Case Decided.

The Interstate-commerce Commission
yesterday announced it's decision in the
case of the Central Yellow Pine Associa-
ton against the Vicksburg, Shreveport &
Pacific Railroad Company and others,
known as the tap line case The COM
mission held that treating the transporta-
ton first of the log and then of the lumber
as through shipment involves the right
TO mill in transit, and when that provision
is granted the tariff should show on its face
that the transportation covers carriage of
the log to and the lumber from the mill,
and the division allowed 10 the tap line :"
or carrier of the log, should be named in all
cases. The commission says the railroads
are not entitled to grant a division of the
rate to the owner of a lumber mill as COM
pensation to him for the cost of bringing
his logs TO the mill by steam railroad horse
railroad, wagon or any means of convey
ance. Railroads allow a division of
rates only to another common carrier par
ticipating in the particular traffic which
by contract agreement may establish a
joint rate from the point of origin on the
one road to the point of destination on the
other and agree between themselves as to
divisions of the rate.

TRUNK Line DIFFERENCES
DIFFERENTIAL QUESTION UNSET
TIED AND THREATENING.
The G., c. a. L. May Extend Its Line to
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. City to Have
Two New Union Stations.

'Unless an understanding on the differen-
tial question is reached before navigation
on the lakes is fully inaugurated, said
a railway official. trouble is apprehended
With the rate almost nothing from Buff
falo, and the large amount of grain to
ship, the railroads will be put to large
expense for which they will get no return,
and further, il is likely that the cutting
of rates will become more extensive. While
there are only about 100000 bushels of
grain in Buffalo, there are, ii is estimated,
nearly 100000 bushels in the West to be
moved, and the large amount of this grain
will be shipped by the lakes TO Buffalo.
The all-rail rate from Chicago TO Philadel-
phia and New York is 10 cents per 100
pounds, and no shipper is going to pay
this rate when he can snip his grain by
lake at so much less cost; as conse-
quence, the all-rail lines will make a re-
duction on grain rates to compete with
the lake and rail lines. This will cut
down revenue, and is likely to extend to
grain products. Flour rates are generally
based on the grain rates, and unless the
competition over the differential or rate
is settled this month, it is feared a
general generalization of freight rates will
follow

Not Unlawful Discrimina ton

The nterstate-commerce Commission
yesterday announced it's decision in favor of
the railroad in the case of the railroad
commission Of Kentucky against the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad. The COM
mission holds that he railroad in carrying
out an exclusive contract with the Bourbon
Stock-yards Company is not violating the
nterState-commerce law and that the law
does not authorize the commission to make
an order affirmatively requiring a railroad
carrier to deliver carloads of interstate
freight TO connecting carrier. The COM
mission says it is not unlawful discrimina-
ton between commodities for the defendant
to deliver carloads of dead freight to the
Southern Railroad for consignees in Louis
vile and to refuse to deliver live stock to
the Southern Railroad at Louisville when
consigned to the Central stockyards The
commission points out that its jurisdiction
does not extend to enforcing provisions in
the constitution of the State of Kentucky.

OF cattle were possibly 10c lower than early.
The supply and demand for bulls were about

probably not much over 25c lower, but frequently
there no doubt was decline of soc. The bulk
OF the supply sold at s5q5.5O. The marketing OF
stockers and feeding cattle this week has been
larger than usual, and the demand has been

to find an outlet for all OF the supply. and to-
