RULES AGAINST
TW0-CENT FARE
JUDGE vANDEvENTER GRANTS
INJUNCTION IN ARKANSAS
RAILROAD CASE.
RATE UNREASONABLE
ROAD ORDERED TO KEEP Ac.
COUNT OF DIFFERENCE
IN RATES.

St. Paml-Judge Vandeventer in the
United States Circuit Court Thursday
granted the injunction requested by
the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South
ern and three other railroads operating
in Arkansas, against the Arkansas
state railway commission. The injunc-
ton restraints the commission from en-
forcing the new two cent fare law and
from interfering with the railroads IN
raising their freight rates on inter-
state traffic.
In an oral decision the court held
that the testimony In the present hear
ing had demonstrated to him that the
rates proposed by the Arkansas rail-
way commission were unreasonable,
non-compensatory and unlawful, and
could not be enforced against the rail
road companies. The court directed
that each defendant give bond. which
will probably be about 100000 each,
that they would keep distinct and ac-
curate account, showing a difference
between the tariff charges of the rail
roads and what would have been
charged if the rates of the Arkansas
commission had been applied.
Explaining the order. Judge Wander
venter held that the law of congress
should take precedence over the laws
of Arkansas in rate matters where the
interstate regulations infringted on the
intra-state regulations.
The court made condition TO his or
der that If any individual Or passenger
suffered by reason of the rates to be
applied during the tendency of the or
der, and If on final hearing the order
should be set aside the penalties for a
violation prescribed by the law might
be enforced as If no injunction had
been issued and due PREPARATION made
The enforcement of these penalties,
however. should not cover period pre-.
ceding the beginning of this action

Wright Of his ability to leave the

RAISING HOGS
IN COLORADO
EXPERT ADVICE IN REGARD TO
MAKING A GOOD
STATE.
PAYS LARGE PROFITS
BEGINNERS SHOULD GO SLOWLY
UNTIL THEY GAIN
EXPERIENCE.
By H. NJ. Cottren. Superintendent Of

By H. NJ. Cottrell. Superintendent OF
Farmers Institutes.
For capital, labor and time required
there is no business of any kind in
Colorado that is paying larger profits
than raising hogs khere the grower IL
an expert. AS high as 300 per cent.
net profit has been made in six months
under ordinary farm conditions.
The possibilities OF so large profits
have induced many farmers and bust
ness men who have had no experience
with hogs to go into the business.
Many of these beginners with no
knowledge have started on large
scale and have lost money. Handling
hogs profitably requires skill and ex-
perience and the beginner should
start slowly and not get these at too
great cost.
Select any one of the four breeds
you like best-Poland-Ch China, Berk-
shire, Duroc.Jersey or Tamworth.
Get a good Judge of hogs to select
for you from one to five sows, not
more. Select good individuals that
come from prolific strains on both
sides.
With careful management from IL
to 20 pigs should be marketed each
year from a prolific, mature SOW
The beginner should study his hogs
closely, becoming acquainted intimate
ly with their habits. their likes and
dislikes. learning what they need and
what is bad for them.
Cheapness in production is the first
point to be mastered by the beginner.
In his breeding he should work for
large filters, early maturity and quail
ity
Starting with one SOW. 1t will pay to
buy mature one that has shown that
she will produce good pigs and raise
eight to ten at litter. She should
have two filters year
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw. sod or boards. The beginner
can watch his small lot Of hogs care
fully and learn how to make them
srow rapidly at least expense.
If any trouble occurs 1t can usually
be seen in a small lot OF pigs before
It is past curbing. When there is a
loss it can not be heavy and the grower
gets his experience cheaply.
The second year three or four OF
the best SOW pigs should be saved
with their dam.
The third year the grower should
have learned enough about growing
hogs to be able to handle ten sows and
their produce and after that he should
know enough to slowly increase his
hog herd to the limit of his farm.
Cheap shelter and forces should be
used until the profits from the hogs
will pay for better ones No large
building should be erected until hogs
have been grown several years on tho
farm and the breeder is sure of what
he wants and where he needs to To-
cate it.
Sows should be kept as long as they
usually have large pigs. greater num-
Der and pigs with more vitality than
an immature, growing SOW.
Starting with one sow, she will be
the foundation of the herd. no matter
how large 1t may become. 1t will pay
to have the first one a good one, even
II she costs considerable money.

Value Of Increased Fertility.

The value OF fertility in commercial
form is not appreciated as 1t should
be by the growers of wheat. corn and
other grains. On certain soils an e1-
ceedingly profitable investment may
be made in commercial fertility. BY
experience every farmer knows that II
is possible to hold the soils productive
ness, and even increase It, by the
proper use OF legumes. assisted by
generous use Of barnyard manure. and
by, from time to time. securing those
ash ingredients like potash and phos-
ph --!c acid.

BLACKLIsTING SUIT APPEALED.
Santa Fe Takes Case to the Kansas
Supreme Court

The Santa Fe railway has appealed
a "blacklisting" suit to the supreme
court from Lyon county. A. w Brown
sued the company for refusing to give
him a proper clearance in his service
letter. Brown has letters from Sup
erintendent Easley and General Mana
ger Hurley refusing to give him a job
on account of this service letter"
Brown was employed by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad as brake
man for nearly two years. He was
charged with collecting 40 cents from
tramp and letting the tramp ride
from Florence to Newton. It happened
that this tramp was "spotter'' for
the company who reported Brown
The trainmaster discharged Brown
and gave him a service letter in which
it was set forth that Brown was dis
charged for cause" In his suit for
IS, 900 damages Brown charged that this
was the plan adopted by the railroad
for blacklisting employees. Brown tried
to get employment with other roads.
but failed on account of this letter. The
jury which heard the case awarded
Brown $500 damages and $50 for an at
torney's fee. The railroad company ap-
pealed the case.
