SPECIAL TO The Washington Herald
Raleigh. n. G. Dec. ia compromise
was reached to-day between the state
and the railroads in the matter Of long
pending rate wars.
Gov Glenn tonight, after confer
ence with State officials and President
Finley, of the Southern Railway, an
nounced the end Of hostilities.
The compromise is for a 2lh cent fiat
passenger rate. provided the railroad.
will also agree 10 reduce interstate trans.
portation to 25z cents, so that the inter
and intrastate rates may be uniform: put
on sale two thousand mileage books at

two thousand mileage books for firms and
employees not 10 exceed five persons. good

able; a five-hundred mile family book
good in the State. at cents. and with
the further stipulation that the railroads
shall bear all the expenses of the litiga-
tion up to the time Of the acceptance OF
the compromise.
Agree to Proposal.
The Southern Railway, through Presi-
dent Finley, agreed to the proposition OF
the governor. with the exception Of the
item relating to the family mileage book
at . cents. a novelty of which that road
seemed afraid. 1t offered, however, TO
include this item at pa cents.
After a further conference with State
officials. the governor agreed To meet
this objection rather than have the liti-
cation drag along further. The Seaboard
Air Line joins with the Southern in ac-
cepting the compromise, but the Atlantic
Coast Line has interposed objections.
The other roads operating in the State
have not been heard from. The governor
tonight gave out a statement of the set
tlement with the exact terms of the
compromise.

In experiments TO determine the best
forms of roughage for dairy COWS along
with concentrated foods the Pennsyl-
vania station found that where grass is
not available silage was best. Some
dry fodder or hay should be fed along
with the silage. The experiments
show that corn slower can be used TO
replace timothy hay with excellent re
suits and Il considerable saving OF

hay should be sold and corn used for
the dairy animals. Pure cottonseed
meal contains a larger per cent of di-
gestive protein than gluten meal and
is much richer i'm fertilizing qualities.
1t will in most cases prove the best
feed TO produce milk and butter. As
cottonseed meal is often adulterated
farmers should require Il guarantee of
~ to 46 per cent of protein. Wheat
bran is one of the finest Of dairy feeds.
but IL contains only about one-third as
much protein as cottonseed meal and
often costs about the same per ton:
therefore. the dairyman is paying
three times as much for each pound
OF protein. If the dairyman is obliged
to buy feed the most concentrated will
usually prove the most economical

the thigh Is as clean as ever. If the
thighs are not clipped and the long
winter coat of hair becomes wet with
manure we all know what long time
II takes II TO dry even if brushed off
as clean as possible.
This system has worked so success
fully and IL takes such short time to
clip the animals that clip not only
my cows, but my steers. 1t is really
wonderful how clean they can be
kept with very little care when they
are clipped in this manner. Besides
this, with my steers, we clip a ridge
two widths of the horse clipper right
along the backbone from the tail head
to the back OF the head. This Is just
the place, especially on the steers.
where the hair. In n measure. is stand
ing ON end and furnishes splendid
position for dust and dirt to drop d.
rectly into the hide When the hair Is
cut short the slightest brushing will
prevent the collection of dust and dirt
in this manner. and thus the steers
have not that restless. itchy feeling
along the shoulders and back.
This system of clipping the cows and
steers Is practiced regularly twice each
winter. Two of my men clip ten cows
in an afternoon before milking time.
and | certainly figure that these few
hours are saved ten times over dur
ing the winter by the ease with which
the cows are kept clean.
