Charles Battell Loomis, an American
traveller and writer. under the short, ex-
pressive title OF Just Irish" has crowded
a mighty clever writeup of life and scenery
in Ireland. He was one of a party of six
Americans whose lines were cast in pleas
ant places and out-of-the-way places In
Ireland about a year ago, and his expert
ences, adventures and impressions make a
book as entertaining and instructive as his
preceding work on Cheerful Americans"
Ths author makes a number of observa-
tons which reflect the breezy contents OF
the book. For Instance, he says there are
other places in ireland as beautiful as
Killarney. but they nave not had poets in
their publicity departments. He heard the
Bells of Shandon sound so grand on the
waters Of the river Lee" mingling thelr
notes with a Earring outburst OF canned
ragtime, and he expresses the conviction
born Of experience that a Corkonian can
outtalk the native OF any other county in
the Guild Sod. The author is critical only
In spots. His character sketches are life

and amusing incidents "racy OF the soil ."

There are 21,194,OOO milch cows IN
the United States-an average OF one
cow to four Of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita OF the consumption Of milk
and a decrease OF cows per capita of
the population indicates that there has
been an improvement in the quality Of
the dairy cows of the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production Of every dairy COW
showed an increase of 1000 pounds Of
milk, or a commercial gain of SPILL
100000. Yet with this improvement adj
mitted, there are many dairies that are
being operated at loss. The life Of a
dairy COW is estimated at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seventh Of her full value. which Is
taken into consideration In computing
the profits of the herd. II the dairy
man would ascertain If his herd is pay
ing profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate It. the cost of the
feed, the interest on the investment and
the normal depreciation Of the value
of the cows. All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts Of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
The receipts of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges, but also leave a liberal
balance for profit.

SWELTERlNG IN JANUARY.
Chicago Experiences Warmest Winter
Weather in SO Years.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Chicago today
experienced the warmest January
weather since 1870. The temperature
reached Sc above, the former record
being 65. this point being reached in
1870, and again in 1876. January 20,
1906, the temperature reached 81
above, but only for brief time.
Today people went about thinly-clad,
forsaking wraps, and in homes and
offices all heat was shut off and win
dows and doors thrown open to the
limit. Physicians say the unseasona-
BILE weather will result in much illness,
as it will plant the germs of pneumo-
MIA and kindred ailments.
Continued warm southerly winds are
responsible for the peculiar conditions
here. Rain is predicted for tomorrow,
after which it will become colder. De-
cidedly warmer weather prevails
throughout the middle west, and the
snow is disappearing everywhere. One
popularity of the unusual weather is
the soggy nature of the atmosphere,
making it difficult to breathe.

San Francisco, Jan. Ex-Governor
elect Cosgrove is not so soon to leave
California for the north. He was due
to leave this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
but word came that the Southern Paci-
fc lines were blocked and he will re-
main in his private car indefinitely I'M
til he can go through without delay.
1t will probably be Sc seral days before
his car moves.
In the meantime he is located at the
Oakland mole, as his physicians believe
it would be unwise for him to go to a
hotel. The place is not adapted to
quiet, as trains are moving at all hours
of the night, but the governor is deter
mined to make the best of bad situa-
tion. The car is so equipped that all
meals can be served without his NOV
ing from the train.
1t is said by those close to the COVER
nor that he obstinately refuses to dis
cuss the political situation, but that he
is anxious to return to Olympia to set
tie the tangle as to who is governor Of

lame Buck Prescription.

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable d scussion among the medical
fraternity. 1t is an almost infallible
cure when mixed with certain other
ingredients and taken properly. The
following formula is effective: "Tc
one half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce

An application OF 1000 pounds Of
fine per acre was practically as eff
cient in case of oats as an application
Of 1000 pounds in tests made at the
New Jersey station. In the case of
clover the larger application gave the
better results. Lime in the form OF
carbonate produced more dry matter
than nitrogen and ash burned lime.
The results Of the studies Of nitrogen
fxation were quite irregular, but agree
in general in indicating that the addl-
ton of fertilizer materials increased
nitrogen fixation and that carbonate of
lime favored nitrogen fxation to a
greater extent than burned lime

Unsanitary dairy wells are a menace
to health, and as the country becomes
more closely settled more and more
care is necessary to provide good water.
The director of the Chicago hygienie
laboratory reports that Of 1913 wells on
nearby dairy farms. examined by the
inspectors, only eleven were found to
be safe for domestic purposes. In all
cases the safe wells were those lined
with cement, with cement covers, with
a protecting hange of cement several
feet out from the well. In some of the
wells used for washing milk utensils,
a high percentage Of colon bacteria
were found, and in some cases manure
could be detected mlcroscopically and

RAILROADS GET
NO SATISFACTION
u. S. Supreme Court Refuses Re-
hearing on Alton Fines.
Roads Not Allowed to Pay for Use of
Private Tracks-Obedence to Law
Is Ruin-Await New Prosecution
and Will Then Attempt to Secure
Definition of Rights.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The supreme
court Of the United States today denied
a rehearing in the case in which the
Chicago & Alton and two of its former
officers were fined $500 for paying
rebates to the packing firm of Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger. The petition was
presentd to the court because that body
was divided equally with reference to
the law points involved in the case
Only eight judges sat, Justice Moody
declining to participate, as it was un-
der his administration as attorney
general that the case was begun.
The result of the refusal of the court
bids fair to be serious to the railroads,
as it leaves number of important
questions arising under the Hepburn
act undecided. All the more uncer-
tainty exists, as the court of appeals
also split upon the questions of law,
the majority deciding in favor of the
trial court. The gravity of the ques-
tions involved was made the basis of a
the case before the supreme court.
Such writs are granted in less than 10
per cent of the applications, and, hav-
ing granted it in this case and having
failed to decide the issues. the Supreme
court refused to give the defendants
another opportunity to present the
case.
The act which was declared by the
court below to be the payment of re-
bate was the payment to the packing
firm of 81 per car for the use of its
switching tracks leading from the
packing-house to the tracks of the AL
ton at Chicago. Under the terms OF
the decision of the court below, no rail
road company can lease, pay for the
use of, or operate under any agreement
any such industrial sidetrack belonging
to shipper. If this is the law, it was
pointed out to the Supreme court, il
would bankrupt the railroads involved
to change, for example, the Chicago
stockyards district, to conform with
the law. Such a revolution in the
methods of conducting transportation
it was urged, should not be forced upor
the railroads until the highest court Of
the land declared it to be the law.
AS matter of fact, hundreds o.
traffic contracts have been held il
allegiance awaiting the decision of tn,
court, and now the railroads will no
know what to do regarding this "nev
commercial crime" which the lowe
courts say was created by the Hepburn
act Owing to the fact that so mucl
is involved, it is more than likely tina
the railroads will agree among them
selves to make no changes, in the hop
that the government will start anothe
prosecution, which may result in de
cision by the Supreme court.

The Crop Reporter is endeavoring 10
tell for what purposes corn is used. In
the year 1899 so this authority states,
the total crop was 2,666,00O000 bushels.
OF this crop 241,OOOOOO bushels were
consumed in the -four and grist mills /;
100000 in manufacture Of starch, D.
100000 for malt liquors, 100000 in
distilling Of liquors, 100000 for glu-
cose, 100000 for export, and 49,
100000 for seed. This accounts for
only 1913 per cent of the entire crop,
most Of the remainder being used for
feeding purposes. The more one studies
the corn crop, the more interesting II
becomes. Its magnitude as a food
giver and labor-employer grows with
every observation one makes of the
corn crop.-Springfeld Register.
