MadlS0n, NOV. IA.
Two new machines designed to
save half the labor of milking in dairy
barns have been installed in the col
lege of agriculture at the university
and viii be given practical tests by
students during the short course in
agriculture, which opens December l.
This is the first time that students
have been enabled TO study the oper-

tests prove satisfactory, will greatly
tighten and systematic one of the
most tedious forms of dairy work.
Tests are now being made with view
ing compared with hand milking. The
cost of the machines and of their in
stallation and operation are known
factors, but the durability and the IA
Dor and time required to run and to
clean them properly are yet to b.
learned, as well as the efficiency OF
the machines under unusual condi-
tons. An important question to De
investigated, also, is the effect of the
machine on the production of the COW,

washington, Nov. IA general
investigation of what is known as
the Hartman system OF railroads, I'M
der authority conferred by law, Is one
of the subjects discussed by the in
terstate commerce commission. Be
cause of the pressure of work before
the commission and the great amount
of labor and time In olved in such an
undertaking, the matter has thus far
been considered only once in an in,
formal and tentative way and no final
decision has been reached as to whe,
the proposed inquiry shall begin or
the methods to be followed in secur-
ing the information desired. The pro-
priety of the investigation has been
talked of by the commission for some
time and that body, it is said, really
stands committed to an inquiry.
we have been informed" a mem
Der of the commission said last night
that his system In some of it's feat
ures is not unlike the Northern Secu
rites company. which was dissolved
through the interposition of the at,
torney general of the United States"
Any steps which may be taken by
the commission along the lines refer
red to will be, 1t is said, in accordance
with the general powers conferred by
law, and not because of any immedl
ate specific complaint of violation Of
the statutes. In January, if time per
mits, the commission will take up the
complaint of the municipality Of Spok-
ane against the Northern Pacific
Great Northern, Burlington, Union Pa
cific and Oregon Short Line railroads,
involving alleged discrimination In
charging higher rates for 8 shorter
than a longer haul.
This complaint was first fled with
the commission under the amended
Interstate commerce act. 1t is re-
garded as of considerable Importance,
as its disposition will logically have
a bearing on the whole question of
transportation in the west from the
Canadian border to Mexico, and from
Chicago and st. Louis to the Pacific
coast. It is also of Importance with
the proposed investigation Of the
Hartman system whose main and
connecting lines cover the larger por-
