pense. and the benefit that will accrue to commerce Is one of the principal reasons for undertaking this great en- terprise. If the United States ts justified expending a large amount of money for the construction of canal for the benefit of commerce, then 1t is justified, pending the construction of the same purpose. And since 1t is necessary to operate the road, its facilities should be improved so as to enable 1t to handle commerce in the most efficient manner.
 It Is estimated by the engineers that before the canal can be opened for use, and. in the meantime. the railroad must perform, in so far as a railroad can. the commercial functions of the canal The operation of this railroad Is no more In competition with private enter-s prise than the construction and opera ton of the canal are in competition with private enterprise: and. if pro- ducts can be transported between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts at less cost by this line than by any other. then commerce should receive the benefie of this route.
 Heretofore the Panama Railroad has formed it's steamship connections with a view wholly to the financial interests of that corporation. It therefore en- tered into contract with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company with a view of making what 1t considered the most profitable traffic alliance on the Paefnc Coast. On the Atlantic side it has maintained for its own steamships a monopoly of business between the United States and Colon, evidently be-

 Congestion of Business.
 Complaints as to the congestion cf business and the injury to commerce resulting therefrom also appear to be Justified. While I was at Colon and Panama a larger amount of freight was could properly handle. and at the same time attend to the pressing work or the Canal commission since haeo tnaI incraasnd ,se and within the last month there has been bitter complaint on this account: The Government Is under Just as great obligations to handle promptly and ef- fciently the cargo intrusted to its care as it Is to press the work of canal con struction. and every effort should pc made by the Panama Railroad not only to fulfll its obligations to the Canal Commission. but to commerce as well
 Under the concessions from the Co lombian Government, the Panama Rail road was given the exclusive right to construct a telegraph line across the Isthmus. The rate formerly charged for messages was S1.00 for every ten words, and 10 cents for each additional word. Complaint was made that this charge was excessive, and on Febru- for ten words and 1-2 cents for each additional word. Two cable companies use this telegraph line, one English, which has consented to reduce the price of it's cable messages in an amount equivalent to the reduction made by the railroad company; but the other, the Central and South American Tele- graph Company, refuses to make any reduction Consequently. while the re- duction in telegraph rates has been beneficial to Euronean and local patrons of the line. 1t has been of no benent 10 the American public.

 The question as to what policy should be pursued by the government Tn the management of the railroad should De considered from three points of view;

SCROFULA FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable and the diseased blood of parents is handed down to children in the form of Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted nothing can reach the disease but con stitutional remedy. The very foundation of the blood is diseased, and until it is purified and made strong, those who are born with a scrofulous tendency cannot have the blessing of robust health.

ing. Some practice the feeding of all
they grow to live stock raised on their
farms. Certain it is that the nation
that tries to farm without live stock
runs the chance of impoverishing its
lands. This has sent more than one
nation into decay. Still, to raise live
stock successfully one must have a
good brain and lack laziness. There
are some farmers that hold to grain

only few months out of the year
and have the balance of the time in

they did go into the raising of stock
they would neglect it and so lose
money. BY bad methods it is easy
to lose money rapidly in stock-raising.
Every man that is willing to study his

general work of farming can 20 into

The Unbalanced Ration.

The fact should not be overlooked
that there are cases where the bal
anced ration is not the most economi
cal. This will be Influenced by the
relative market price OF feeds and the
animals that are to be fed. For in.
stance if corn is very cheap the feed.
er will not be justified in paying high
prices for mill stuff to feed in very
large quantities to fattening steers,
unless it be for the finishing period.
The carbohydrates that he would
waste are too cheap in Is cent corn to
Justify him in buying high priced pro-
tein to save them. But generally, feed
containing enough protein at rea-
sonable price can be had on the farm
at a price that will justify an approx.
mate balanced ration in the majority
of cases. Besides the loss of food
nutrients, there are detrimental results
caused by an unbalanced ration. Grow.
ing stock are stunted; dairy COWS are
dried up, in breeding stock the animal
system is weakened, etc. For such
cases as these the balanced ration will
pay even if it is necessary to purchase
such feeds as oil meal, etc., that are
generally considered high priced.-F

The Present Stock Feeder.

There was time when the feeding
OF live stock could be carried on in an
ignorant and haphazard way and yet
afford the feeder profit. That was
in the days when land was cheap and
there was little market for grain.
chiefly because it could not be hauled
to where it was needed. That day has
passed, and both land and grain are
in demand and showing a strong ten
dency to rise still higher. The hap
hazard feeder long ago went out of the
business on account of non-success.
The successful stock feeder of the
present day is able to discriminate
between good and poor animals and to
tell the difference between good and
poor feeds. He is able to sit down and
combine ration that will give the
best possible results. He no longer
believes That one kind of hay is worth
as much as another kind. And how
came he to know these things? BY
taking heed to the work done by the
scientist in the analysis Of the differ.
ent feeds. The first-class feeder Of
cattle no longer believes that timothy
hay is the very best hay for beef max
ing. He has learned that. clover and
alfalfa far exceed it in value. -.
