EUROPEAN STREET RAILWAYS
Municipal Operation Is Resulting In
Slow Development and Poor Service.

WunIclpaI operation is heSuItIn9 IN
Slow Development and Poor Service.
Under municipal operation, or the
threat of it, the development of street
railways in Europe has proceeded
along different lines from those fol-
lowed in this country. Here we have
had rapid extension of track into
new and often temporarily unprO-
ductive territory, long hour service
high speed and free transfers. In Eu-
rope the track pushes slowly even into
we'll settled suburbs, the hours of serv-
ice are shorter, the cars are slow, and
no transfers are given. The one ad-
vantage that the European has secured
Is a low fare for short ride, and even
this fare is not as low as appears on the
surface on account of the higher value
OF money in Europe as measured in
terms of wages. Briefly, however, it
may be said that in Europe cheapness
has been secured at the cost of quality
Of service. The same conditions are
apparently resulting from the semi
municipal ownership which has just
gone into effect in Cleveland. The peo-
pie Of this country want good service
first of all, and they are willing and
able to pay for it. With us cheapness
is secondary consideration, as any
city will find to its sorrow if 1t secures
cheapness at the cost of service.

FEEDING Alfalfa to Horses.

In recent issue of the Breeders
Gazette OF Chicago Joseph f. Wing
says of feeding alfalfa to horses:
when alfalfa hay is first fed to
horses or mules not accustomed to it
and fed in large amounts it sometimes,
not always, makes them urinate more
freely than is their wont. This is
nearly always very temporary effect,
and in a short time they eat alfalfa
hay With no other noticeable effect
than that they are in better flesh than
when eating other forage, work better
AID feel better
Alfalfa hay for horses or mules
should be allowed to get fairly mature
before cut, should be we'll cured and
have no mold on it, The last cutting of
alfalfa is usually too late to make the
best horse feed, the cOarser crops
grown earlier in the season serving
better Neither horses nor mules
should be fed all the alfalfa hay they
will consume. 1t is too rich a feed,
and they do not need so much of it,
though it is ordinarily fed in limitless
amounts with no perceptible injury.

A Bad Railway Wreck.

A recent issue of the London Engi-
neer contains an account of a railway
accident in Australia in which forty
eight persons were killed and 419 were
injured. The Australian correspondent
writes:
after the accident the state of af-
fairs was rendered more horrible by a
fire which broke out. Unlike the Amer
lean trains, Australian trains are not
fitted with axes, hammers, jacks and
such appliances to facilitate the remov-
al of the victims after an accident, and
great deal of the trouble and even
many of the deaths may be directly
traced to the delay in extricating the
sufferers from the burning debris.
"Not only is Victoria an example of
country where the railways are en-
tirely owned and controlled by the
state, but for many years it has been
held up as a model of the advantages
which follow that political system. At
one time in this state of Victoria public
safety was regarded as of greater con-
sequence than revenue. Latterly, how
ever, the local press has been COM
planning that too great economies are
being practiced for safety"

Arlington, O., is passing the hat for
ten dollar subscriptions to a fund
for putting down a gas we'll to secure
fuel for the municipal electric plant
thus saving "the big coal bill that
seems to be the only thing endanger-
ing the financial success of our munich
pal lighting system" as the Arlingto-
nian naively puts it.
Most plants, public or private, might
easily attain financial success if it were
not for the fuel bills and such other
expenses. When the expected "suc-
cess" of this plant is reported, the cost
Of the gas well will not appear.

EMPLOYEE STOCKHOLDERS.
A Boston Corporation Shares Its Profits
With Its Employees.

With Its Employees.
OF the 6,OS6 preferred stockholders
of the Massachusetts, gas companies
$50 are employees of the Boston Con-
sOlidated Gas company under the prof
II sharing plan, placed in operation
two years ago at the time the sliding
scale act was adopted.
Under the terms of the profit shar-
ing plan any person who has been in
the employ of the company for one
year or more who is of good habits,
faithful, energetic and honest is paid
the same premium OR dividend ON the
amount of his compensation that the
stOckhOlder receives as dividend on his
inVestment-viZ, as the Boston COnSol-
idated Gas company paid per cent
on its stock in the June 30 fiscal year
the employees received an addition of
8 per cent in their annual salary.
The amount set aside for employees
is not paid in cash, but is credited to
them, and when a sufficient sum ac-
cumulates to enable the purchase of
one or more shares of the preferred
stock of the Massachusetts gas COM
panies the president is authorized to
make the purchase When this stock
is once purchased it becomes the alb
solute property of the employee, ana
he has the right to do with it as he
sees fit but before selling it he must
first notify the president of his inten-
ton to do So and if there is any rea-
son why he should sell it-because of
the actual need of the money, for in
stance-he may dispose of it without
restrictions. On the other hand, if in
the opinion of the chief executive no
good reason exists for disposing of the
stock the employee may sell it, but
he will be dropped from the profit
sharers' list in the future. Provision
is also made that any balance that is
not used for the purchase of Massa-
chusetts gas stock be placed to the
credit of the employee on the books
of the company at per cent interest.
The object of this plan is to secure
better results from employees and to
encourage them to be frugal and eco
nomical. Every employee except the
president is eligible as a profit sharer.
In the past fiscal year the company
paid about $4,000 in premiums to its
employees.-PrOgressive Age.

Shelter For Live Stock.

Every live stock farmer should pro-
vide comfortable quarters for his
stock before cold weather sets in, says
Farmers Advocate. Good quarters
where live stock can keep dry through
the winter storms are necessary. Good
shelter saves feed, and feed necessarily
saves money. Comfortable quarters
should not only be provided for the
winter months. 1t is just as necessary
for cattle and other live stock to have
II cool place for summer as a warm
place for winter. The proper housing
Of live stock is matter which should
receive the attention Of every farmer.
1t is not cXtrHvagant to invest money
in these tn. IS; neither IS it necessary
that the buildings should be of costly
material. When animals are kept un-
der conditions favorable to them the
best results are Obtainable.

"prpvcntion is better than cure" 1t
Is better to keep dirt out of the milk
than to strain it out, however care
fully done.
Every farmer owes it to himself to
post himself on the hundreds of things
which go to make dairying real, gen
uine business.
If the skimmilk and buttermilk are
returned to the farm we only remove
9 or 3 cents manurial value for every
ton of milk sold.
A Mississippi experiment showed
that calves receiving ten pounds of
separator skimmilk made as much gain
as those receiving eight pounds new
milk.

Thus the pine, the emblem of lasting
prosperity and life, belongs to January
and its branches are used to decorate
all houses on New Years day.
To February belong the blossoms of
the plum tree, which stand for purity,
and the beautiful blossoms of the peach
tree, to which young girls are COM
pared, are associated with the month
of March.
Next the cherry blossom, the most
beloved Of all flowers, is held to be.
long to April, and to May are assigned
the gorgeous clusters of the wistaria
vine.
The iris-1ower, to which are compared
the strength and beauty of young boys
belongs to June, and July has the glory
and perfume Of the water lily. The
Towering hibiscus tree attaches its
beauty to the month of August, while
September lays claim to the exquisite
charm of the azalea.
The royal flower Of Japan, the chrys-
anthemum, which FERNS part of the
crest Of the imperial family. belongs
to the month of October, while to No.

Finally, with December is associated
the beautiful camellia, which blooms
