An o1sfnoor9ne surprise Is the wOrInth or city
subways. It was expected that these. like cell
lars, would be warmer than the outer air in
winter and cooler in summer. but experience
has shown that they are always warmer unless
artincially cooled. This is partly due to the
heat from the respiration Of passengers and
partly to that from the transformation Of the
energies brought into use for lighting and for
traction. The air Of the tunnels of the Paris
Metropolitan and the New York subway is
found to be about 60 F. warmer in summer than
that outside, and it is estimated that to keep the
variation down to this limit in the New York
the air must be renewed about 200 times every
twenty-four hours. Forced ventilation by fans
seems necessary TO make such tunnels endur-
able in the hottest weather.

Draining Large Areas.

The draining of large areas OF land
calls for expert advice and superin.
~tendence. The man that owns a small
piece of land and has an outlet for
his surplus water will find little trou.
BILE perhaps in getting a drainage sys.
tenn to work; but it Is far otherwise
with a large area, whether that area
consist of a level plain or Of hills. 1t
is very easy to construct a drainage
system that will not work well on the
hills and that will not work at all on
the level land. Expert advice and SUI
p~erintendence cost money, but they
are worth money. A drainage sys-
TEN should be built to last; but If 1t
Is built unscientifically it may have to
be partly torn out before 1t has been
in the ground many years.

Rural Economics.

The United States government has
e e for a long time issuing a monthly
summary of the work Of all the expert

To this publication has now been added
a department called Rural Econom.

OF the times. Everything Is being re-
duced to order, ever the studies OF
h economic conditions Of the farm.
We have upon u hands, whether we
wish 1t or not, the problem of eco
nomic conditions, whether relating to
the marketing of crops or the building
of highways owe which the crops are
to be hauled. These manifestly do
not come within the domain of agricul.
ture, which may fairly we'll comprise
the tillage Of the ground and the care
OF the crops %springing from it. includ'
ing farm animals.
We long ago began the study of the
tillage of the fields; we must now take
up with equal earnestness the studyAoi
economic conditions. The farmer
gains little in the raising Of a big crop
IL he so misunderstands the economic
conditions under which he lives as to
sell that crop for far less than its
market value. Farmers have been
known to do this. Having formed a
misconception Of the size of a crop
and the demand for it, they have sold
their crop at a great discount in order
to get 1t of their hands. being un.
aware that at that moment all the
great trade centers were paying high
prices for the very crop that had been
disposed OF by the growers at a sacri.

Protection for Feeding Cattle.

While It Is doubtless true that fewer
cattle will be fattened off this winter
upon corr than heretofore has been
the rule in most farming districts,
many are in the business and cannot
get out of it, as their animals are too
old to carry owe to green grass and
must be finished as quickly as pos.
sible to bring a profit. 1t Is the more
necessary, therefore, that these cattle
should have improved shelter and be
protected against every untoward cir.
cumstance and condition, else the dear
corn will be partially wasted, as 1t
always has been, to a certain degree,
by the average feeder, who for years
has had plenty of corn to spare and
has accounted 1t a cheap food.
But corn at forty cents a bushel and
up is not cheap food, and, in addition
to the modern high price, Is sure to
become dearer If fed to unsuitable
animals. This phase Of the subject
has been touched upon recently, but
we want to impress upon our readers
the necessity and advantage of pro-
tecting cattle, so that discomfort does
not aus waste of food. To the man
who has an exposed, wet and slushy
or muddy yard we would say better
not attempt to feed old steers dear
corn. Better sell off the cattle at once
and save the dear corn for feed later
in the season. Buy younger cattle,
feeders or stockers, and keep them on
roughage until the cold season temp.
ers somewhat, then feed them of
quickly during the early spring.
But 1t will not pay to feed late In
the season II the yards are very wet
and muddy. The discomfort eats the
profit. This has been shown by sew.
eral eXperimenters and II indicates
the necessity of draining and filing
in yards so that they will be dry un'
derfoot. Many yards are dry enough
but too much exposed, and these
should be sheltered by wind breaks
and provided with sheds that the stock
may be kept dry during stormy
weather.
Corn fodder makes a temporary
wind break of considerable value II
built into long stacks at the most ex
posed parts of the yard. In fact, we
would not be surprised to have II
shown by some scientific feeder thai
corn stalks used in this way, where
the location is bitterly cold aud ex
posed to winter winds, are more profit
able than they would be to feed, while
the same thing would prove true o.
straw. This, too, applies to sheep
They should be out doors as much
as possible, but they must be sheltered
and protected against rain, damp ant
cold winds If they are to thrive wei
in winter, and coarse fodder and ha!
would better be used to form shelteI
for them than as the meager portion
of their winters ration.-A. s. Alex

DYING CONSERVATISM.

Conservatism of any form dies hard,
Political conservatism, which has
been nurtured and strengthened by
prejudice and favoritism, dies harder
than any other kind.
The SOW decay Of the high protec-
tive tariff doctrine and the movement
toward tariff revision is one Of the
marked tendencies of the present age
Governor Cummms of Iowa, the
leading advocate OF tariff revision
within the party, was triumphantly
elected over the combined opposition
Of democrats and "standpatters:"
Three strong "standpatters" in the
last congress We're defeated for re-
election this year because of their re-
fusal to heed the demand Of the peo-
pie for revision Of the excessive tar
if rates which burden the consumer
on certain articles of common use.
These three martyrs to "standpat-
ism" these ultra-conservatives who
would continue in force the high tar
ifs which their own party would nit.
icate. somewhat, are Lacy of Iowa,
McCIeary Of Minnesota. and Lands of
Indiana.
1his defeat of three leading protec-
tiorists who loudly proclaimed their
undying fe7lty to the excessive tariffs
al the last session of congress. +s a sure.
sign OF the changing sentiment of the
nation The change will come slowly.
It is a big problem, a gigantic issue.
one which involves the very fountain
heads Of national revenue, but the
change is coming.
The tendency is to reduce the tar
ifs for the benefit of the consumer
and raise the taxes on the enormous
corporations which have escaped in
the past while the people were paying
the cost Of conducting the govern
ment.
Tax the franchises Of the corpora.
;lons assess. incomes. fortunes and
idle millions and reduce the tariff
on the consumer. Get after the
wealth OF The opulent, so long exempt
from Tho burdens of government. Re.
lieye the load upon the shoulders of
the common man. This is the tend
ency.
Governor Cummins will be classed
as one Of the henefactors Of the race
