HOW TOM JOHNSON Won HIS GREAT Scent FARE FIGHT

The next step is to be the consid-
Grafton, by the council and the old
company, of a plan by which all the
lines of the old company will be
taken over by the same holding COM
pany which operates the lines of the
3 cent company, and operated at
3 cent fare.
This holding company plan, as de-
signed by A. 3. du Point president
of the Municipal Traction Co (the
holding company is, in brief. as
follows:
The water" is to be squeezed out
of the stock of the old company I'M
til every 500 share represents an
actual value of $50. This leaves of
course, so of water" still in. The
same applies to the stock of 3 cent
company, which has been operated
by the holding company under the
same plan now proposed for the old
company.
On this stock a rental dividend Of
per cent is to be paid by the hold
ing company. Anything in excess Of
this amount is to be used in bet
terments of the property.
The total issue of unwatered stock
will be equal to the total physical
and franchise values of the proper
ty-that is, the actual physical
worth plus the present worth of UNI
expired franchises.
1t is expected that a security
franchise" will be issued to the old
company, along with the leasing
plan, under which, if the holding
company finds itself unable to Op-
crate the cars at cent fare, with
universal transfers, and pay per
cent on the stock, the property will
be turned back to the old company,
with right to operate cars for
stated period, at rate of fare high
err than cents.
Mayor Johnson, President du Pont
and other 3 cent fare leaders are
perfectly confident that the required
profit can be made at 8 cent fare.
President Horace f. Andrews, of the
old company, still maintains that
this is impossible, but the expecta-
ton is that Andrews and his adj
visers will consent to the holding
plan within the next30 days
All will depend, of course, upon
whether terms can be reached re-
garding the valuation to be set on
the old company's plant, and the
terms offered in the security fran
chise. 1t is believed that both sides
will be reasonable and liberal in all
out any longer
Mayor Johnson has won a glorious
victory. The people of the city have
stood Loyalty back of him in his
fight, twice re-electing him on his
3 cent fare platform at times when
It seemed as if the 5 cent monopoly
had him whipped to a standstill.
Just one newspaper in Cleveland
has basked the mayor up from start
to finish, while all the others have
stood valiantly by the cent COM
pany, ridiculing cent fare and
abusing it's promoters up to the very
day when the old company came to
3 cent fare The one paper which
has stood for the people and the
mayor in the fight for lower fares
is The Cleveland Press of the
Scripps- McRae league.
As a result of this long and finally
victorious battle of the people,
Mayor Johnson and "'The Press
, Cleveland bids fair very soon to be
the first city in the country to have
universal cent fare.
And the expected settlement will

Confronted with the necessity of
either selling out it's equipment in
these streets to the 3 cent line and
getting out of the streets, or else
seeing it's tracks torn up and pitched
aside as junk, to make room for the
new companys rails, the ex-monop-
oily quickly came to terms.
First, a temporary truce of 80
days was declared in the fight. dur

crindino Corn for Feed.

Much may be said, in fact, has been
said on this subject. Horses from
the time they begin to eat grain up
to the time they are Is or Is years
old, do not require their grain ground
for them; after that age 1t would be
well to grind 1t. The same case ap-
plies to mules. AS long as the teeth
OF either horses or mules are in fairly
good shape. they can masticate whole
grain with no trouble whatever. After
their teeth get uneven and their
grinders smooth, the case is different,
and then 1t is that they pass whole
grains of corn or oats.
Some horses are naturally very
fast and greedy eaters, and will not
take time to chew their grain. With
these a wire sieve with 1h-inch
meshes can be dropped into the feed
box over the grain, and this viii pre-
vent these fast feeders from gobbling
up mouthfuls Of grain and swallow
ing them half masticated. Feeding
corn on the ear will cause horses
and mules to chew better and more
slowly than when shelled. If horses
or mules are inclined to eat their oats
or shelled corn too fast, and If you
do not care to make the wire sieve,
Just mix little chopped hay or straw
or even char with the grain, and it
will prevent this bad habit.

FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
Cutting and Curing Alfalfa.


Alfalfa is getting to be very pop
ular forage crop with the southern
farmers and the hay sells at good
figure on the city markets. The feed
ing value of it for all livestock places
1t in the first rank of forage crops.
Alfalfa should be cut just as it is
bearing the bloom, after the towering
period begins; the hay will de-
teriorate rapidly in nutritiye value
unless cut. II the field is OF fairly
uniform growth, the proper stage for
cutting is when about one-tenth OF
the plants have reached the Towering
stage. In very dry climate, alfalfa
can be cut early In the morning; that
is, the mowers can be started very
early and the hay can be raked up
and stacked the same day, but in
more humid climates this can not be
done, and the curing process must ex-
tend over greater length of time.
When the hay is sufficiently dry, 1t
Is raked into the windrows and later
thrown up into cocks. In regions
where heavy dews prevail and the
curing will be completed on the day
the hay Is cut, 1t Is a good plan to
rake it up into windrows when par
TALLY cured hay is thrown up into
high narrow cocks and left until thor
oughly cured. Such cocks should be
as small as possible in proportion to
the height in order that there may be
a circulation of air and also less
danger of heating. In some local.
ties the cocks are covered with oats
In order to protect them from rain.
but this latter plan is not generally
adopted.
Throughout the United States al
falfa hay is commonly stored in
stacks in the fields. Alfalfa stacks
will not shed water as readily as
stacks of grass hay. In arid regions
there is little danger OF rain during
the season that the alfalfa remains
In stacks, but In humid climates 1t
is necessary to store the hay in barns
or else cover the stacks with large
tarpaulins.
