PEACE Is MADE.
Second Glass Rate War Terminated by
Eastern Roads.

All the eastern lines have reached
an agreement to restore passenger
rates on second class business to New
York. and the $40 rate, second class
from Chicago, will be advanced to
tariff as soon as legal notice can be
given. The rate war on eastbound
steamship business was precipitated
by the action of the Erie road in an
nouncing a rate of $40 from Chicago
to New York, in connection with this
business on the allegation that the
other roads were paying commissions
to steamship agents and that these
were using the commissions to cut the
rates.
Because of this cut to New York a
discrimination was created against
Philadelphia, which the shipping and
business interests generally have been
protesting against vigorously ever
since 1t went into effect. Great pres
sure was brought to bear by those
interests on the Lehigh Valley road.
with a view to inducing it to place
Philadelphia on an equality with New
York in respect to this rate. That

transportation of the Philadelphia
board Of trade that IL the trunk line
presidents did not get together during
the present week and settle the
points in dispute, the Lehigh Valley

After uncapping is over, the frame

they will remain until the next year

to be set in the wood or wagon shed,

THE GOOD HORSE AND
HOW TO PICK HIM OUT
He Is Built for Travel Work and Must Have
Muscles and Feet-By Prof F. Marshall,
Of Animal fdusbandry, Ohio Agricultural College

It is almost impossible to imagine
that people could live without horses.
Certainly living in a horseless world
would be sorry experience in con-
trast to our present enjoyment of
comforts and conveniences.
In the United States there are about
one-quarter as many horses as people.
Three-fourths of these horses are on
farms although, of course, there are in
the country great many colts that
are to be sold to go into the cities.
To the horses that do the work on the
farms we are indebted for the produc-
ton of most of what we eat. If we live
in the city, even though we do not
keep horses of our own, we are de-
pendent upon those of the grocery
man and the coal dealer to bring to lis
the necessities of life. Who has not
noticed the butcher boy, jerking and
whipping his poor, thin horse in or
der to avoid the scolding he knows
he will receive if the housekeeper
does not receive the meat at the prop
er time?
Different kinds of work require diff

A capping-can should be at least
26 inches in diameter, so that two per-
sons can work. For 200 to 300 colo
MES it should not be less than "a or
35 inches in diameter. It needs that
size for two persons working steadily.
I know that they can get along with
more cramped conditions for while
at first. But larger can costs but a
few cents more anyway.
There are great many large wood
EN- boxes in use which ought to be
pitched out of the back door, but a
round, convenient metal box instead,
having a nicely fitting cover to keep
out flies, bees and vermin when not
in use. Such one / have had in use
for the past 10 or Is years, and I know
all about it's advantages. Such cap

| loads we look for large and heavy
muscles; while in roadsters we must
attach Importance to the length of the
muscles.
The most of a horses muscle is in
the hind quarters. This may be a
surprise to you, but the next time you
have an opportunity to see a horse
pulling a very heavy load, study him
carefully. You will be impressed
with the idea that most of the work
is being done with the hind legs.
When the hind foot is moved forward
the toe rests on the ground and the
leg is bent at the Lock joint; if the
toe does not slip and the horse is
strong enough for his load the mus.
Giles above, pulling OH the tendon fas-
tened to the back and upper point of
the hook, will close to the joint, or in
other words. straighten the leg and
cause the body to move forward 1t
is by the performance of this act at
every step that the horse moves, al
though. OF course, the strain on all
parts is much greater when pulling
very hard. This will also show the
necessity for having large, broad,
straight joints and legs that give the
horse the most secure footing
Then there are some other things
that are desired on all kinds of
horses. One of these is a short back,
that is, short from the hips down to
the top of the shoulders (the withers).
From what We have learned of the
hind parts We see that the horse is
really pushing the rest of his body
along. If the back is short and
strong instead of long and weak, the
whole body will move more easily and
rapidly in obedience to the force pro-
duced in the hind parts.
Although the hind parts have most
to do with the horses travelling, we
must not forget that the front parts
are also very important. No matter
how much muscle horse has or how
strong his hooks are, if there is any
thing seriously wrong with his front
legs he cannot travel. and so derives
no benefit from his good parts. Some
horses may be seen 7hose knees are
not straight, others When looked at
from the front sho,' that their feet
are not in line with,t .eir legs. Such
animals are more ,.ely to s1il, or
strike one leg with he opposite |footy

things about a horse >h:lch cannot be

motion is the result of the action of
the muscles. About 40 per cent. of
the weight of an ordinary horse is
muscle. All muscles concerned with
locomotion are attached to bones, and
when they contract they cause the
bones to which they are fastened to
move. The lower part of a horses
legs are nearly all bone, but the mus
cles in the body and upper part of the
limbs are attached to various parts of
the bony construction by tendons and
can thus produce a motion of the parts
located some distance away. The
muscles we are discussing, when con-
tracted, are about three-quarters as
long as when at rest. The amount of
motion produced by the action of the
muscles of say one of the horses hind
legs, will depend upon the length of
the muscles and the length and the re-
lation of the bones to which they are
attached. The common idea among
students of this subject is expressed
in these words: Long muscles for
speed, short muscles for power" We
have already seen that long muscle
enables horse to get over the ground
rapidly. A short muscle, however, is
not powerful because it is short, but
because in horses constructed on that
plan the muscles are thicker, contain
more fibers, all Of which pulling to-
gether when contracted exert much
greater pulling force than long, more
slender muscle. 1t is because of this

By W. F. Mcsparren.

Building up the dairy herd is not so
easy to the man who has not the
things ready made to his hand. It is

can class of farmers, who is eating his
bread in the sweat of his face, who
can i'll afford to make mistakes. He
is the average brave-hearted. strug.
Cling burden bearer who ever should
have concern that any message that is
sent may reach him. To this man I
have heard given the advice to sell
and invest the proceeds in as many
good cows as they will buy, but buy.
ing is the very last way to get good
ones. My advice to such man would
be to get into shape to feed those
cows a good full ration for a whole
year.
A cow may be better than she looks
or worse than she looks; the only way
to tell one is to live with her. Get rid
of the poor ones-they take the bread
out of your mouth, but the more prom.
Using ones may surprise you with iu.
dicious feeding. Put them to test:
shelter them from storms; be kind tc
them; don't try to half starve them on
half dry pasture, but give them the
full round year ration. Send your
scrub bull to the butcher and get the
best bull Of your breed that you can
buy.

so he handcuffed the man, tied him to

The prisoner decided that he want
ed something to eat in the meantime,
so he smashed the chair, got free from

deputy returned and found his prison
er gone there was a terrible furore

BICYCLES AEYDAY.

The scorcher Who Used to Be Ar.
rested as the Automobiles Is Now.
Every once in WHILE" he said,
when l hear of an automobilist ar.
rested for going too fast, l think of
the days when the scorching bicyclist
used to get into trouble.
'"rhose fellows, you remember, who
had the wheels with the high gears
and the low frames and the rams
horn handle bars, who used to dash
madly down the crowded cycle paths
on Sundays particularly with reckless
defiance of the property rights and
lives of others. That was in the hey
days of the bicycle, when every hotel
had to have an L. A. w. sign to make
it popular with the cyclists.
Every so often, when get off into
the country on walking tour, l see
one Of those signs painted on the wall
of hotel or see an ancient road sign
marked with the l.. A. w. mark, which
calls up those old days.
1T seems great while ago now, but
really it's not so long ago. Perhaps
a dozen years; perhaps less.
There are lots of other things that
mark the decline Of the bicycle, but
none perhaps more than the falling off
of interest in the road races. In the
old days an enormous crowd watched
the Irvington- Millburn road race of
twenty-five miles. 1t was what is
called by some persons a classic, and
upward of $4,000 persons saw some of
those races.
81 can remember in my home town
a five-mile road race handicap, an
annual affair, that was one of the
greatest athletic events you can i'm
agine. One year it was won by boy
who worked for laundry and I be-
sought my folks to change from the
laundry we sent our wash to, so that
! might have legitimate excuse for
visiting that place to see that hero
and to admire him.
