LoNe TIME FRANCHISES,

Corporations usually have the faculty of looking out for their own interests, but the company which owns the street railway franchise of Mon treaI, Canada, shows @ disposition to provide fer the future in a way that certainly is not lacking in gall, we may call 1t. The franchise now held by the company has eighteen years yet to run, but the owners are asking the city to grant an extension of thirty-two years, thus giving them 8 fifty years lease of the privilege.
 It is stated that there has been much and bitter controversy over the terms upon which the extension shall be granted, but in our opinion that proposition should not have been con- gidered at all We very much doubt the propriety or good Judgment of any city signing away important street franchises for such long terms as fifty years, and especially do we doubt it when the franchise asked Is for a street railway. Since the adoption of electric motive power became general, Improvements in It's use and methods of adaptation have followed each other with almost bewildering celerlty. Some thing new and better is continually taking thu place of the old and each advance and improvement is in the direction of better service and economy. If Montreal, for example, makes a con- tract as asked for, the terms must be fixed and we suppose the rates of fare win also be arranged. Before the fifty years expires 1t may be that im- proved methods will enable the com- pany to operate its system at one-half the cost now prevailing. but that bene- nt will ali go to the company and none of it to the public or the city.
 But if objection to any flfty-year franchise is sound, 1t is doubly so when we remember that the present franchise of the Montreal company has yet elgh- teen years to run Certainly there can be no defence of the policy under which a city would extend a fran ohise so long before its present term expires. So many things may hap pen in eighteen years that the city would be guilty of a grievous wrong to the citizens and to future tax payers, if 1t now surrenders the streets for half a century ahead It would be to thus alienate the streets of the city, for no one knows what the next fifty years may bring.

ARBITRATION TREATIES.
Believed that Conventions Win Expire
 without Motion.

Washington, Feb. 9.--It is under stood that the President will make no move in the matter of disposing of the arbitrations which are pending before the Senate notwithstanding yester- days action of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on amending these treaties in a manner to make them objectionable to the administra- tion.
 It is felt that so little time remains between now and the 4th of March that there Is but slight prospect of a motion by the Senate upon the committees re- port and besides. there is no certainty that the Senate itself will approve the committee amendments. so the belief prevails tha tthe conventions will ex- pire without a motion

Facts About ArgentIna,

Argentina's early history is that of stormy times. The little revolt of which the dispatches now give daily news is, however, the first disturbance of its kind in the far southern repub- lie since 1890. In that year the army ana navy assisted in producing a change of administration.
 Argentina is the United States of south America. It is made up of four teen States and nine Territories. The population is about 5,0e0,000.
 The Argentine States have greater power individually than ours. They may, with the consent of Congress. make treaties for the fostering of in dustry, immigration ,Icolonization, rall- ways and canals.
 Argentina's constitution is modelled on ours. American teachers have been called to schools of the republic. The I'country considers itself our rival in trade, and backed its pretensions in 19O0 by sending to London $500, 900 also.
 Argentina has millions more sheen than we have and half as many graz ing cattle. Its agricultural area is 26O,9 O,9oO'OOO acres-more than was taken up by our grain, cotton, tobacco and vegetable crops in 19O0-but only about per cent. of this land is under cultivation.
 Immigration Is Argentina's great need. The possibilities and promises of the land are tremendous. Thus far we have allowed Great Britain to dom mate its trade. Germany has beaten our print-paper makers out of a business amounting now to nearly two million dollars a year.
 In 1899 Argentina had 4,291 primary schools. with 427,s11 pupils. There are two national and three provincial uni versailles.
 Argentina reaches into the eaua- tortal hot belt on the north and through the temperate zone on the south, having thus wide ranges of temperature. Two-thirds of its people nearly are native. Italians to the mum Der of almost half a million lead the foreigners.
 In one of the Argentine States a graded tax on bachelors is provided to drive men to matrimony. If, however, a man can prove that he has been three times rejected he is exempt.

 The letter Is as follows:
 For some four years my daughtey has had headaches, which seriously in- terfered with her school work. Until recently we attributed the trouble to eye strain. but happening to notice your advertisement of Hyomei, we were sat- isfied that her trouble came from ca- tarrh.
 We purchased a dollar outfit, and within twenty-four hours great relief was experienced, and the loosening of mucous matter and the reduction of throat inflammation began. Sixty days use of Hyomei made nearly complete recovery, which we consider very satisfactory after nearly four years of expense and fruitless treat- HSnS " OhhSE uASbnOuss anu LneL W@ feel grateful is to put it mild-"

One Dr. Roberts comes out with the claim that women have as much right to the privileges of the saloon as the men have. He may be correct as to the legal right, but that Is one thing that the average man will insist on enjoying 8 monopoly of. But what ever the legal phase of the question may be. we think there will be a general objection interposed by all good people against his proposition. The saloon is certainly one place for women to keep out of.

 The heart of Birmingham is broken. Even Meridian, Miss, with less than one-third the population of Birming- ham or Mobile, has a union railroad station far in advance of the miser- able shacks the two larger cities are forced to put up with. Mobile has hope, but for Birmingham, it seems that 1t is hope long deferred. even be- yond the days of a majority of those now living in the Magic City. The fact is, Birmingham should have a union railway station.

A Needless Waste.

Much of the cotton which has been brought to town recently has been bad ly damaged hy exposure to the weath- CT, and in consequence has not brought the best prices or has been heavily doeked in weight.
 In some instances the losses thus caused have been heavy. amounting to ten or fifteen dollars a bale Why peo. pie will not take care of their proper ty-Why they will deliberately throw away good hard-earned money-is hard 10 understand. It would have been business to have sold cotton at cents last fall when cotton was in good con- dition and had the use of the money till now than to have allowed the cot. ton to lie in the rain all the winter and sell it now for no more money than it would have brought then.
 Of course good, clean, dry c1tton has been bringing a good price, ten cents and over. but bad cotton can never bring nothing but bad price. Some farmers could have made $25 day by properly housing their cotton at the right time.-Summerville (Ga) News.

think there are many factors that enter into the production of eggs in winter, any one of which, if lacking, Is apt to lessen the yield.

THE VALUE OF THE SILO.
Twenty Per Gena Added to fhe Feeding Value of Corn Fly Cut
 ting md SiioiBg II.

We have eoEtended for years that the United States with its great corn plant, has the bulge on the entire world in the production of meat or dairy products, and the experiments which have been made by different stations show that % per cent. at least can be added 10 the value by the corn crop by sioling it. Many of our read CTS no doubt are aware that Fayette and Madison counties, in Ohio, carry on some very large feeding operations. Humphrey Jones is large feeder who has on his farms silo capacity of about 1000 tons. and has been adding to the capacity from year to year. Three or four years ago Mir. Jones wrote us that after carefully weighing the steers, weighing the silage and estimating ten toLs Of silage to the acre, he estimated the feeding value Of an acre of corn at $40. bunch of fifty steers was bought and divided in two lots of 9 each on the farm of MT. Funk. in Mclean county, III. Half of them were fed on silage, hay and grain. the other half on shock corn right from the field, hay and grain. The ensilage-fed steers were followed by one shote in a starving condition, the other steers fed on shock corn were followed by sev- eral shotes which continued to thrive and gain. This demonstrates to our mind that the si,oing of corn in meas ure cooks it; that is fermentation goes on, and really the first steps of diges- ton are taken right in the silo itself
 For the amount of money invested We hold that there never was an i'm provtment put on farm that will earn more money than a good silo. It is an insurance policy. it might be said, be- cause man with a good silo can save his clover crop in catchy weather; he can feed it out during the hot, droughty weeks of August and Septebmer-Cor Breeders Gazette.
