II has been accepted as proved that

Some experiments have been made to
prove this, but the data are too mea-

Mumford of the Illinois station has
taken up the question and Is making

Railway Rate Legislation.

Az the biennial convention OF the Or.
der OF Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing their
sentiments as to the effect Of proposed
railway rate legislation on the l,300,-
900 railroad employees, whom they in
part represented These resolutions
endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt in eondemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude Of the heads OF American rail.
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the president on this
question" They then respectfully
point out TO congress the "inadvisa.
bility OF legislation vesting in the
hands Of commission power over rail-
way rates, now lower by far In the
United States than in any other coun-
try" because such regulation would
"Tesult in litigation and confusion and
inevitably tend to an enforced reduc-
tion in rates. irrespective of the ques.
tion Of the ability OF the railroads 10
stand the reduction, especially in view
OF the increased cost Of their supplies
and materials. They further pro-
tested against such power being given
70 the present Inter. State commission
because ''the proposed legislation Is
not in harmony with'our idea of Amer
lean Jurisprudence, inAsmuch as 1t con.
templates that single body shall have

at the cost of the carriers, pending ap.
peal, which Is manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such Hesitation, II any, as
would Secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation sis the
result Of the efficiency Of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value OF intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages TO employees obtain"
In pressing their claims against leg
islation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that 'the freight
rates OF this country average only two
per cent Of the cost Of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country"

How snnday AtFects the COVE.

The manager of the Wisconsin ex-
perimental farm once said that he
could tell the Sundays In the calendar
by looking at his milk record, which
showed the daily yield, because the
quantity obtained was invariably
smaller than on week day. "our
men milk little later on Sunday
morning, and little earlier at night,
probably hurrying the operation, and
the cows resent the treatment by CIV
ing a somewhat smaller yield of
milk" 1t was observed, also, apropos
of the necessity for kind and gentle
treatment of dairy cattle, that new
hand obtained less milk from COW
than she would yield TO a mixer, not
necessarily more expert, to whom she
was accustomed.

This Years wheat Crop.

Another bumper wheat crop Is in
prospect. Estimates by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture on grain in the
field Indicate total yield OF winter
wheat of over 4ll,0O0O00 bushels
against 40i .6S5.SS7 In 1903 and 1885,
37I. 500 In 1901; a gain OF l0.314,11
bushels over 1908 and S5,225.4 .40T BUSH
els over 1904. The estimate on spring
wheat is 3iS,000,000 bushels. but there
are good reasons for believing that
the yield will be from 100000 to
100000 bushels greater than the
present estimate. However, the com
parison, accepting the estimate as
correct is interesting, showing an ex-
cess for 1905 over the yield of 1904 and
less than 1908, as follows: Estimate

The Oat Crop.

The oat~crop is one that requires a
great deal of moisture throughout the
season, and the best crop is assured
by preparing the soil so 1t will con-
serve moisture. The reason the old
plan of seeding oats in corn stuhble
falls so frequently is because the
ground is stirred shallow and wet ear
ly in spring time and when few
weeks of dry weaother come it bakes
as hard as the road and remains in
this condition until harvest. 1t is not
good plan to be in too big a hurry
about sowing oats, When the ground
has dried out so 1t is in good condl-
ton to break then start the plow.-

Sod Houses and Telephones.

Sod houses and telephones are the
strange combination now offered by
the prairies of the Middle West. Yet
the combination is less strange than
appears, for the present sod houses
are by no means to be despised, par
ticularly in cold weather. They are
built with considerable attention to
comfort and, with an interior lining
of Portland cement, offer almost the
advantages Of stone building, and
at the slightest cost, while the net
work Of telephones overcomes the iso-
lation Of earlier days.

Philadelphia. Nov 15-The student body of
the University of Pennsylvania celebrated to-
day the football victory over Harvard on Sat
urday by a public demonstration unprecedented
in the history of the institution
After chapel services a number of the students
proceeded the plaza in front of the dormi-
tories and sang their college songs When the
crowd had been increased to several hundred
the students marched to the various depart
rnents calling on every man to join in the pro-
cesson. The instructors permitted the students
to leave their classrooms. and the entire body
marched to the training house, where addresses
were made by the teams coaches. At the Har-
rison Chemical Laboratory Vice-Provost Ed
gar r Smith addressed the enthusiastic stu
dents. who then marched to Franklin Field,
where Mike Murphy made an address.
On their return a stop was made beneath the
windows of Mayor Weavers office In response
to the cheers the Mayor appeared at the window
and said:

two great fights in the city last week. One

WORK ON THE GRIDIR0N.
Columbia, in Gruelling Practice
Scores -Four Touchdozcns.

The Columbia football team went through
grueng practice at American League Park yes
terday afternoon. The men came to the fed
fresh from a two days rest, and consequently
the practice little harder than usual On
Saturday the team visited Philadelphia, where
they saw the gam. between the University of
Pennsylvania and Harvard.
notwithstanding the fact that the varsity
made four touchdowns yesterday the coaches
were not pleased with the work The first team
showed an inability to gain consistently against
the scrub line. All of the touchdowns were the
result of long and brilliant individual plays
coupled with weakness of the scrubs defence.
Collias showed up as the star player Of the af-
ternoon getting away for two long runs. One
was for twenty-five yards around right end.
while on the other he skirted the end for fifty
five yards. Throughout; the game he played
steadily and drove the team we'll.
After the first touchdown the varsity kicked
off. The scrub could not gain and forced t.
punt. The varsity then carried the ball to mid
field. only to lose it tumble, A tumble by
the scrub gave it to them again, however and
this time Duden got through for thirty-five
yards and a touchdown.
j. Fisher was hurt in the early part of the
game and went out, his place at right halfback
being taken by Heinrich. Later Fisher
turned to the game, and the first play made
a thirty-fve yard run for the last touchdown of
the afternoon. The scrub weak on both Of
fence and defence, and was continually forced
to punt when it got the bail. The varsity
showed lack of team work and an ina bility to
follow the ball and help the man carrying it,
Aigeltinger strained his ankle during the scrim-
mage, but it is believed that the injury is not
serious.
Browne was back in his position at left tackle
His shoulder is practically healed and he should
be able to get into the game against Cornell on
Saturday. This will allow Won Saltza
main at fullback and materially strengthen the
team. Ross out for practice again yester-
day, and in his old position at guard. Davis
played the other guard. and Ageltinger at
centre. Post and w. Fisher played the ends.
while Collins Armstrong ]. Fisher and Lndo
were in the backfeld. With the exception of
Lindo. who will probably be replaced by Won
Saltza, this is the way the team will probably
line up next Saturday
The substitution of Brown for Escheverria
will make the team somewhat stronger than that
which lined up against Yale. Notwithstanding
this the comparative showing of Cornell and
that the Tthica team has the advantage. The
Cornell was able to against Princeton.
while the best Columbia could do was to hold
the New-Jersey eleven down to twelve points.
Considering this. Columbia. students are looking
forward to the next game with only a fair de-
gree of confidence. Since the Yale game Morley
