CITY ATTACKS GRANTS.
Chicago Council Revokes City Railway
Permits and Starts Suit.

NniSaSo council ReVokeS City Railway
Permits and Starts Suit.
War has been renewed by the city of
Chicago on the Chicago City railway.
Mayor Harrison had Corporation Coun-
sci Tolman prepare an ordinance, which
the Council passed, repeating the extern
sion permit, good until June /. That
done, assistants of the corporation coun-
sci rushed into Judge Mack's court.
where the judge, who had been asked to
hold special court, was waiting, and filed
bill to determine the value OF the 90
year act and the rights of the city. The
action was taken, it was announced, to
forestall any legal obstruction in the
shape of an injunction in the federal
court. Not only the Council members,
but the chairman of the local transpor-
tation committee, were taken absolutely
by surprise when the clerk of the Coun-
ell began reading the message of the
Mayor.
Mayor Harrison in his message recon-
mending this course asserted that the
present owners of the City Railway
Company in his opinion had purchased
it TO prevent a satisfactory settlement
between it and the city. They had per-
sistently declined to say whether or not
they would accept the tentative ordi-
nance in case that measure was APPROX
ed by the people and the City Council.
Further, the company had shown de-
sire to test its rights in the federal courts
rather than in the State courts. AS the
processes of the former were slower than
the latter it would be to the advantage
of the CITY to take the initiative by be-
ginninfig suit in the State courts. Real
izing that the Mayors recommendation
would be likely to precipitate action by
the company, the Council FASTENED tc
carry out his suggestions.

The Watering of Horses.

The question as to the best time for
watering horses is often asked, and
is answered in number of differen
WAYS according to the individual opin-
ions of the authority consulted. Many
feeders believed that horses should
be watered before feeding, while
others are equally certain that feed
ing should precede watering. c. l..
Isangworthy, in a very useful bulle-
tin. entitled principles of Horse
Feeding" summarizes the results of
some recent experiments which he be-
lieves have reached the truth of the
matter.
The rations fed consisted of differ
ent mixtures of corn, oats, hay and
straw, and number of experiments
were made, in which the only condi-
ton that varied was the Time of water
ing. In some of these tests the horses
drank before and in some after eat
ing. and in others after the grain
portion Of the ration was eaten. but
before the hay.
So far as was observed the time OF
drinking had no effect on the dgesti-
hility of ration of grain and hay.
When hay only was fed there seemed
slight advantage in watering before
feeding. The general conclusion was
drawn that horses may be watered be-
fore. during or after meals without
Interfering with the digestion and alb
SorntfOn of food. All these methods
of watering are equally good FOR the
horse. and each of them may be en-
nloved according TO circumstances. 1t
is obvious that certain circumstances
may make il necessary TO adopt one
or the other method. For instance.
after severe loss of water. such as
occurs in consequence of long contin-
ued. severe exertion, the animal
should always be allowed 10 drink be-
fore he is fed. as otherwise he VIII
not feed well.
II has been found that less water is
required when the ration consists
largely OF concentrated feed than
when large amounts OF coarse fodder
are consumed. and 1t is 4 matter Of
common observation that less water
is consumed whoa green. Succulent
feeds form considerable part Of the
ration than when X consists ef dry
feed That the amount of water TAX
en-. even in dry feed. may DE eonsid-
cradle is shown by the fact esaI a
ration OF twelve pounds of oap and
fifteen pounds of hay furnish slime
twenty pounds of water. = suocuAent

The lNcoRRiaiBLE CASTRO
May Yet Succeed ia Getting Uncle sar
Into Il touhle

The French cable complications IL
venezuela have reached crisis and Min
lster bowen has informed the State De-
paftment that the French minister at
caracas by instructions Of his govern
ment, has notified the Venezuelan gov
ernment that there must be no further
proceedings on its part toward the can
collation. of the company's franchise or
interference with its property. Further,
Mr. Bowen reports that two French
warships have been ordered post haste
20 Venezuela to act in accordance with
the Instructions of the French minister.
Apparently. in the opinion of the Chi
cago Daily News, this country win be
most fortunate if the incorrigible Castro
does not succeed soon in creating an in
lernational situation even more embar-
RAISING than that which eliminated in
the Anglo=German blockade of Venezue-
Ian ports. Tie latest developments at
Caracas suggest that if he is not actu-
ally seeking complications with foreign
powers he IS not restrained by any fear
OF them. Through his control of the
Venezuelan courts, which are absolutely
suoseryIent to his will he seems to have
succeeded in putting the American as
phalt company out of business and con-
hscatsng its property. Following the same
hlgh-handed policy he is now proceeding
against property interests belonging to
citizens of European nationsa
To appreciate tie broad possibilities of
the situation wlrch may result from
those repeated attacks on foreign prop
erty, it should be remembered that the
Cr~an Of e
IS one of the most characteristic fea-
lures OF Venezuelan industry. Like the
asphalt lakes, many of the mines are
worked by these concessionnaires. An
American company operates the c1nn-
try's telephone service A German COM
pany is exploiting its sulphur deposits.
The French Cable company has a con-
tract giving it terminal facilities and
the use of overland telegraph lines, the
contract providing that all disputes shall
be settled by the courts of the republic
and shall in no case give rise TO interna-
tiona claims"
The French company's contract and
the concession of an Italian coal mining
company have now been annulled by the
order of Castro, who threatens to seize
the properties of these concerns That
this is no new proceeding may be gath
cred from the fact that last February
he annulled nearly 800 concessions 'for
lack of fulfllment of the legal provis-
ions The Daily News says that so long
as large part of Venezuelas industrial
enterprise is of this character the posi-
bilities for international complications
will remain almost unlimited. The facts
tend to emphasize the argument that if
the United States is to maintain the
Monroe doctrine it rlust adopt some
fixed, practical policy upon which to pro-
coed when foreign property interests are
injured by the acts Of any irresponsible
government on this hemisphere.

The imports into the United State.
in February, 1906, were larger than il
any earlier year in the history of Ameri

For the eight months ending with Feb
ruary, 1905. the imports were in round
terms S129, 100000, against S654, 0O0, 600
in the corresponding month of the pre-
ceding fiscal year, while the exports were
$1,010000,000, against practically ST.
o4S,O0o,000 in the corresponding months
of the preceding year.
The excess of exports over imports In
the eight months ended with February
was S2S1 100000, against $393500,000 in
the corresponding months of the preced-
ing fiscal year and $491 10000 in the
corresponding months of the fiscal year
1901
This reduction in exports, according to
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
is due chiefly to the falling off in the
quantity of wheat exported and a reduc-
ton in the price per pound of cotton ex-
ported. The wheat exports in February
amounted to only $103,631, against ST.
203,043 in February of last year, and the
flour S2,515,146 against SSH ,S41.
The exports of cotton in February
fell nearly $11,000000 in value below
those of February of the preceding year.
For the eight months ended with Feb
ruary exports of cotton show a falling
off in value of over $2S,000, 900. compar-
ed with February, 1904, and breadstuffs
show falling off of nearly $52000,000.
The large Increase in importations APP
parently occurs chiefly in manufacturers
materials and articles of food. The
seven months ended with January show
an increase of $33, 100000 in imports of
articles in a crude condition for use in
manufacturing and of about $30,000,0O0
in articles of food. The increase in i'm
portations of manufacturers materials
occurred chiefly in India rubber, nearly
S6,O0O,O00; raw silk, $12,000,000, and
about $S,000,000 in other articles used
by manufacturers.
The increase in importations of food
stuffs occurred chiefly in coffee, about
100000, and sugar about $4,000

The Creamery for Ice Cream.

The creamery industry in Maryland
IS in some respects quite different from
that found in the west, inasmuch as
most of those in this State do not con-
fine themselves to the making of but
Ter, but make butter only as a means
OF utilizing surplus and sell most of
their products as cream or ice cream.
The selling of the products of cream
cries for cream and ice cream rather
than the making of it into butter has
enabled the farmer 10 realize better
prices than would be obtained other
wise. Some creameries of the State
that have made all of their products
into butter have been run quite sue
cessfully, while many have been a dis
appointment to the farmers and could
not hold their patronage because of
the low prices paid for mike. T..

water at San Pedro, Cal.
A few miles south of Los Angeles,
Cal, there is being accomplished one
of the greatest engineering feats under
taken by the government in recent years
the erection of a breakwater to form
a harbor at San Pedro. The work was
commenced in 1897 and Congress appro-
priated S2900,000 for the breakwater
which is to extend $500 feet into the
ocean. The result of the work, SO far,
shows that a harbor can be built almost
anywhere, if enough money is expended.
The total amount of rock required,
according to the government specifica-
tions. is 2,20G,9S3 tons, of which it is
estimated 10000 are yet to be put in
place. For some time the contractors
have been dropping the rock at the rate
of 5000 tons month. or four tons a
minute. at a cost of S0.S44 a ton. At
the beginning the dumping took place in
% feet of water; to-day the contractors
are making bigger splashes in % feet
of water The rocks are often SO large
that only two of them can be put on
one car. There is year and a half Of
dumping ahead, but already a harbor
of refuge is formed. where vessels can
lie in safety in all sorts of weather, be-
hind a rock line above high water.

Separate Cow sheds or Stalls.

The Department of Agriculture, OF
Ireland has issued a leafet pointing
out the Importance, not only of air
space, but also of proper ventilation.
1t is not the size of the building, but
the circulation of fresh air within it
that ensures healthy conditions. Ideas
as to the cubic area that should be
allowed to each animal differ very
much, some authorities holding that
eight hundred feet is desirable, others
that six hundred feet is ample. The
main difficulty is to secure thorough
ventilation without promoting
6raughts. It is necessary that there
should be openings in the walls and
in the roofs, the former to let in the
fresh air and the latter to let out the
exhausted air. 1t must also be re-
membered that abundance of light is
as necessary as air, for light is one
of the best preventives of disease,
especially of tuberculosis. Roof lights
are preferable to windows. Some
farmers, the writer says hold strongly
tldl llO COW bt dAAONGu W NdiN Z
in the cow-shed. The plan they adopt
is TO provide a special shed, to which
the cow can be removed before the
arrival of the calf is expected, just as
the mare is transferred to the foaling
box. Especially is this plan recon-
mended as q safeguard against abor-
ton and other breeding mishaps.
There is no danger of evil conse-
quences from the presence Of newly
calved cows among other, provided
everything goes right, but sometimes
COWS do not recover so satisfactorily
as might be wished. The suggestion
for keeping separate loose box for
calved cows among others, provided
usual health should commend itself
to stock-owners.

Geese on Low1ands.

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls
Old pasture is best suited to their re
Qu:rements, as they crop the grass
very short and would likely destroy
the roots of newly sOwn grass. They
must be afforded liberty and lots of
grassy range. They are verr coarse
feeders and will eat nearly anything
in the shape of green food. Although
it is desirable to hatch early, it is not
always advisable, as it depends upon
the climate and location. Goslings
need grass and do not thrive unless
green food is supplied when they can
not get range.
