IDLE ROLLING STOCK.


Masy Freight Cars and ERgInes Laid
Up By Railroads.
New York, Jan. 23.-FIgures pre-
pared for one of the large railroad
companies. says The Tribune. show
that week ago there were $40, 00e idle
freight cars in the United States, and
about 5000 locomotives which. are laid
up because of the falling on in trafic.
As there are 100000 freight cars
in the country. this would show that
IL per cent. of all the cars owned by
railroads are stored on railroad tracks
waiting for loads. Figuring the value
of cars at $1,000 each and OF locomo-
tives at $4,000 each. the statement
shows that the railroads have $40. O00,-
600 tied up in rolling stock for which
there is no present use. The great
shortage in rolling stock last year
caused large orders for cars to be
placed by railroads.
shortage was $1,000 cars. It is esti-
mated that more than 10000 men less
are needed than II all OF these cars
were In service. Many men have been
laid of, the New York Central, for ex-
ample, since the beginning of this
month, has laid on enough to make a
saving of $250.o00 a year, in addition
to previous cutting down OF it's forces.
But hxed charges of a railroad must
be met in dull times as well as In act
i've, and maintenance and other ex-
penses must be provided. and in view
of all the facts the management of
many railroads are understood to be
discussing the question OF reducing
wages. as a disliked but necessary
measure.

A Metssn 20 ceasurs IT Is Defeated In


Toxic. Jan. 2s.--A motion to censure
the Government was defeated In the
lower house Of the Diet today by. III
votes to 16s. The debate on the mo-
ton lasted for three hours and half.
The debate turned entirely on the
budget. no mention being made OF the
immigration question or the Govern
rlent's policy thereon. An unusual
feature OF the vote tonight was the
combination of the representatives of
the Progressives with the Daido Club
and the Yuko Wal Party. :,
The combination resented q deter
mined effort upon the part of the
Outs" to defeat the Government and
force the resignation of the cabinet.
Their failure now insures the cabinet
remaining In power and the probable
passage of the budget.
The opposition speakers in the de-
bate blamed the Government for lack
OF foresight, while the Constitutional
lists held that the Government Is unable
TO predict any extraordinary conditions.
MARQUIS saionji. the Premier, repeated
In the House the speech he had already
made before the House OF Representa-
tives. "

Pasture Without Grain,

At the Mississippi experiment sta
ton careful tests haye been made to
determine the value of alfalfa pasture
without grain for hogs. Pigs ranging
in age from three to twenty-four
months have been used, and the re.
suits of two years work show that al
falfa is little more than maintenance
ration for growing hogs without grain.
Satisfactory gains have always been
secured from alfalfa pastures by sup
plementing the pasture with from tc
per cent Of the weight Of the hogs
In corn or other grain
Cowpeas without grain so far have
given better results than any other
crop for hog pasture. In one test the
crop was grown on thin hill land,
where one acre of cowpeas produced
$50 pounds of pork In another test
on rich valley land one acre of cow
peas produced 493 pounds of pork The
hogs were put in the field when the
peas We're about ripe.
