LIVE STOCK RATES REDUCED.
Iowa Railway Commission Orders
Cut of Sixteen Per Cent.

Freight rates on live stock in Iowa
will be reduced about 16 per cent.
This was the decision Of the railroad
commission when the hearing on the
petition of the Corn Belt Meat Produ-
GERS association for reduction of 26
per cent was concluded. The cattle
men are we'll satisfied with the decision
of the commission. At the conclusion
of the hearing Commissioner Eaton read
the decision of the commission, to
the effect that the rate in this state,
which is now about % per cent higher
than that in Illinois, shouid not be
more than per cent higher. The de-
rates on the basis, making reduction
of not more than 49, or less than 10 per
cent. The commissioners Furthermore
held with the cattlemen that the rail
roads should put in feeding in transit
The commission held that it had no
authority to order such a rate, because
it is interstate commerce, but did rec
ommend such rate to the railroads.
The reduction of the rates on live stock
being matter of considerable expert
figuring, the commission announced that
the exact rates would not be announc-
ed till some time later. The commits
sion's decision fills several typewriter
pages and is very strong statement of
the situation as to rates in Iowa. Rep
resentatives Of the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' association and members of the
legislature who have been championing
the campaign for lower rates are
gratified at the decision and believe it
forecast of what may be secured on
hearings on other commodities, which
are to follow this week.

Save The Pigs.

Everyone who lost a healthy pig last
spring, lost the equivalent of five
dollar bill. The loss of six pigs or an
ordinary litter, amounts to months
wages for the average farm hand. The
loss of pigs on each Iowa farm last
spring, meant five million dollars less
in actual farm profits. How many of US
lost more than pigs?
Loss of pigs is largely due to improp-
er methods of feeding before narrowing
The man who feeds his brood sows all
winter on a strictly corn ration, lis
simply counting failure and can reason
ably expect to loose part of his pigs.
The man who feeds oats, shorts, bran,
tankage or some other PROTEIN food,
along with his corn can reasonably eX-
pect good success at farrowing time,
provided he furnishes suitable quarters.
1t is a penny wise, pound foolish"
policy, that does not provide good quar-
ters for each SOW. One pig will pay
the cost while lack of care often results
in the loss of the whole litter. Often
times, years profits are lost in a
week, through lack of preparation.
Now is the time to make arrange
ments for the April pigs. Besides pen
to herself, each SOW should have sun
shine, exercise and good food. Some
breeders prefer the central hog house.
Others, the individual. Most of us
will be obliged to make the best use
possible of what we have at hand. The
careless man will CLOSE his pigs, with
the best buildings. The careful
business-like man, will often succeed
with meager equipment. The small
individual cot enables the hog producer
to get his SOW away from the muddy
lot out on the blue grass hill, where she
farrows undisturbed and where the new
born litter gets plenty of exercise,
sunshine and green food, three very
successful things in pork production.
1t is a serious mistake to feed the
SOW anything the first day after farrow-
ing. Give her nothing but tepid water
The second day allow her to have a
little food of the same kind as that fed
her before narrowing. Increase the
feed gradually, the rate of increase de-
pending upon the size of the litter and
milking proclivities of the SOW. The
SOW on some other kind of feed immedi-
ately after she farrows. This is likely
to cause scours in the pigs. No man
can tell another how to feed. The sue
cessful feeder is the man who keeps a
watchful eye on his herd and cuts down
little on the litter that is getting toe
fat or gives additional feed to the SOW
with the lean litter; always taking care
not to allow the youngsters to contract
scours during the first two weeks of the
pigs life.

Now is the Time to Test Seed Corn.

The seed corn which is intended for
planting this year is in very bad condi-
ton. This is the opinion of large
number of men who have examined and
Judged thousands of samples of seed
corn at the Farmers Institute and corn
shows held in all parts of the state this
winter.
Almost without exception, one-fourth
to three fourths of the seed brought in
for exhibition show plainly that the
germs are dead or in very weak con-
dition. These samples probably repre-
sent quite truly the seed which the
owners intend to plant this spring. If
the seed is only .one-fourth to three
fourths strong, will it not be profitable
and weak ones?
The late frosts and rains in many
parts of the state last fall prolonged
the growing period and kept the corn
from drying out. When the hard Octo-
was still large amount of moisture in
the corn. The germs Of the corn which
froze with this moisture in them were
killed or weakened, consequently large
portion of the seed saved as the corn
Was uuSkGu lOE CElDUluS WdS dlICduy
killed.
The condition is especially bad in
Northern Iowa, but is very unsatisfac-
tory in other parts of the state and in
other states in the corn belt.
Now, not next May and June when
the corn is being replanted is the time
to think about this.
Now during March while we have the
time is the time to test our seed corn.
Farmers are most strongly urged to
test six kernels from every ear which
they intend to plant next spring. This
will take about three days for the aver
age farmer. 1t will cost him nothing.
He cannot hurt his corn by testing it.
1t will bring him a good "stand of corn
One ear will plant three hundred hills.
A bad ear thrown out and replaced by
good one will prevent there being
three hundred missing hills in the field
next summer.
If seed must be bought it should be
purchased in the ear as near home as
possible. If it has been tested before
being sold the purchaser will do we'll to
test each ear and discard all showing
weak or bad termination. No one can
afford to be careless about the seed he
| plants.
The seed this year is very bad, but
if every farmer will test six kernels
from each ear Of his seed, he has it
within his power to plant seed which
will grow strong.

IOWA NEAR THE TOP.
But TWO States Have Larger
Number of Rural Routes.

Iowa leads in many things and in
others she is near the head Of the pro-
cession. Thus, the rural route has
come to be very popular in Iowa, and
while other states may have had an
earlier start, Iowa now takes the sec
ond place, being led by Illinois and
Ohio, but not far behind and with
prospects good for overtaking them
both. An Iowa newspaperman, who
has been looking over the last reports,
finds the following:
Illinois maintains her lead with the
greatest number of rural mail routes
of any state in the union, having in oper-
alton March 1, 2,755 routes. The 10Th
congressional district of the state main
tains it's supremacy over the other dis
tricts, with 260 routes. The Sd district
of Iowa has exactly the same number.
The 9TH district of Kansas contains
the most Of any single district of the
United States, having 295 in operation
to-day, but that state has only 1,G15
routes altogether. Ohio is second with
1892; Iowa third with 1908; Indiana
fourth with 2,130; Pennsylvania fifth
with 2,03S. Missouri seventh with l 1922.
Missouri leads New York, however,
which has 1,761. Kansas is tenth, with
1903, and Tennessee eleventh with l ,545.
The banner districtof Illinois is now rep
resented by William B. Mckinley. 1t
has led for some years.
The report Of the operations of the
rural delivery service up to March 1,
1907, made public by the fourth assist
ant postmaster general, shows that the
total number of petitions received up to
date was 5000, upon which 1901 adj
verse reports have been made. There
are now in operation 1920 routes, on
which 81, ia regular rural letter car
riers are employed.
March l, last year there were pend
ing 3,13O petitions. During the year
1908 petitions were filed, making a
total Of 5.S23 petitions handled, and
now only 2S4 have been favorably acted
upon and ordered established, leaving
pending 1,411.
The number of routes in operation in
the middle west and southwestern
states and the number of petitions for
additional routes pending are as fol-

GOVERNOR HAS
 WATERWORKs BILL Pine Bluff Measure Passed the Senate This Morning by a Good Majority-Of- fered by Toney. CITY OWNERSHIP Legislation Grew Out of East End Fire Governor Will Sign the Bill Something of It's Most Prominent Features.
OWNERSHIP

The bill, forming Pine Bluff into an improvement district for the purpose of the city either building or purchasing it's own waterworks, was passed in the senate this morn ing by good majority vote. Tne bill passed the house several weeks ago and is now ready for the sigma ture of acting Governor Moore.
 The measure was presented in the senate this morning by Senator H. K. Toney of this county. Presi- dent w. N. Trulock, of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, yesterday ap- pointed committee composed of A. D. Foster J. I. Lloyd, D. c. Bell, E B. Bloom and Mayor w l. Toney to go to Little Rock and urge the passage of the bill on be- half of the board of trade. Infor- nation from Little Rock last night, however, was to the effect that the bill had practically no opposition and that it would pass with ease. The committee then decided that it would be useless for them to go to the capital today.
 The waterworks bill was or iginally drawn to include light plant, but there was so much oppo- Si fn character in view of the fact that
 there is no complaint just now of the light service furnished the city
 and the local consumers, that the light feature in the bill was elimi- ! nated
 Acting Governor Ike Moore will i probably sign the waterworks bill this week. It is argued that the passage of the waterWorks bill will
 serve as a big stick in the hands of the city officials in making the present Pine Bluff Light & Water 1 company comply with it's contract. In a suit, which is now pend
 ing in the federal court at Little
 Rock, the city is attempting to bring about a forfeiture of the com panys charter given it by the city years ago, and to also annul it's l present contract with the company. In the event that this is accom- plished, the municipal ownership of waterworks plant will result. This waterworks ill was drawn
 at the request of local citizens in
 mass meeting on the night of Feb ruary 13, when the city was visited by a fire which destroyed ninety
 homes, one church and several
 hotels in the eastern suburbs of the city. The inability of the water company to furnish sufficient pres sure on that occasion to cope with
 the flames, was responsible for the mass meeting.
