the CITY the report implies that the company ap-
parently believes that IT has a white elephant on
its hands which il would be glad to get rid or
The report says:
No proposition has been made TO the commits
sion that the tunnel from the Battery TO the
Atlantic avenue station should be taken oack by
the city Why, then. should the public be asked
TO pay for the Steinway tunnel. which seems TO
have been undertaken without due foresight! /!
Does any one suppose that. if the company eH-
pected to make a profit from it, they would De
anxious 10 sell it to the city?
The proposition made by the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company is analyzed from a
financial point of view by Mr.. Weber. ch1er
statistician of the commission. who presents
two sets of figures In one the cost of the tun-
mel is figured at S7,240OGO and in the other it
is placed at SS600OO0. The latter sum Is the
amount which the company claims to have ex-
pended on the tunnel. On the smaller cost basis
the total annual expense 10 the city. If it bought
and operated the tunnel. would be S427,5O0 on
the larger cost it would be S4S0000
The report puts the present situation in re-
gard TO the tunnel squarely up to the company.
as follows:
If the company prefers to litigate its present
claim to a perpetual franchise and allow Its
property to lie idle meanwhile. il doubtless has
that right: but if it desires TO have the tunnel
put in operation there are at least four ways in
which ii may be done. There is no insuperable
difficulty to private operation of the Steinway
tunnel and there has been none: 1t could he put
in operation in a few months under the present
law or under new legislation. The company
built the tunnel; the city is not responsible for
the present situation: il is incumbent upon the
company. and not upon the city, TO see that the
tunnel is put in operation.
MR. BAssETT's REPORT.
Commissioner Bassett. in his separate report,
gives the following reasons for opposing the
purchase of the tunnel:
MY reasons for voting not to accept the pro-
posaI Of the owners of the Stenway tunnel are
that there is provision for assuring the con-
tnuation of a 5-cent fare from the various
parts of the Borough of Queens to the Grand
Central Station: that the proposal cQntern-
plates the exclusive of the tunnel by the
New York &. Queens County Railway Company:
that the method outlined for Compensating the
city is for the city TO retain tunnel fares and
the company to retain all others instead Of the
city receiving a fixed sum for each passenger or
car using the tunnel and that some of the items
included in the cost of the tunnel should he

am worn out.

TOO much for pleasure to come and do
not expend any means on making the
present thevery best that it can be. Thew
ieL the nome grounds and SURROUNDINGS
remain shabby and unimproved ex-
pending the extra money on property
TO be handed down to the children or
putting ii in the bank.
rms is wrong when there is any neg
iect IN home improvement. If the
children need help, by all means thew
need 1T now while they are HELPLESS
more than when they grow up and will
be able to fully care for themselves
perhaps much better than we ever will
be able to care for them.
They need the comforts. hea1thfr,-
ness and identifying influences of
good home and surroundings in order
to make them healthy, strong. heauti-
ful and good. These are infinitely bet-
Yer than inherited real estate, personal
property or money.

heritage. III the home is beautiful and
attractive the child when grown older

me grounds surrounding the farm
dwelling should be We'll drained and
graded TO suit the location. The main
open part of the space should be lawn
OF good grass and be kept mown low
at all times SO that air and sunlight
may purify the soil
Inc lawn is for use, to walks and
pay on, ana should be laid out with
that in view. Keep off the grassn
may be all right for city parks, but the
nome lawn is green carpeted outdoor
floor for everyday use
Abundance of flowers, shrubs and
trees are essentials for completing tbe
picture, but flowers and shrubs must
be massed in clumps and borders alone
the sides, and the trees must he
grouped in one place, preferably tbe
rear or somewhat removed from ono
side of the dwelling.
Under the trees in the cool sbady,
part of the grounds a chiIdren's NAV,
house or rustic open structure is a
good place for rest and play for both
young and old. We can never get too
much of the open air, though we live
in the country, and such a covered
place under the trees makes ana
place in which to read or take a nan
and fully enjoy the sweets of outdoor
life
Such a playhouse is dear to the
hearts of the children, and they will
spend many happy hours each dav
there, when if no such provision were
made they would be in places in which
we should not want them.
For wet weather concrete walks are
comfortable and economical. Concrete
walks are cheaply and easily made
They need not necessarily be wide. bnt
there should be enough to them SO that
all outbuildings and other much FREE
quented places can be reached without
walking on the wet ground. Walks a
foot wide are much better than none

WORK IN THE POULTRY YARD

If you do not get a reasonably good
crop of eggs this month make up your
mind that it is your fault
The early pullets will be doing excel
lent laying this month and the late
Matched pullets and the late melting
hens should also get down to work,
provided of course they have been hav-
ing the proper care
For Matching market chickens it is
advisable to set the early broodies, but
it will not be profitable to hold the
young stock over for breeding, as they
will mott in the fall and would not
be profitable for layers when good
prices prevailed.
The duck laying season begins the
first part of March,
Keep the incubators hard at work.
Chicks Matched this month will com
mand good broiler prices
Take advantage of all clear, sunny
days and allow the birds outdoors An
occasional outing like this does them
aslot of good, but do not expose them
to heavy wind, rain and snow storms.
If you erred in feeding during the
fall and early winter you will now have
hens suffering from overfat, liver dis
ease Indigestion or bowel troubles
Make them exercise-that is the KEY
note of success

FENCE RAIL PHILOSOPHY

Drug stores are necessary of course
but we should not depend upon them
too much. Cheerfulness is a bette,
tonic than can be found in any drug
store.
l spent three weeks last summer in
a big city, and the old farm never
looked so good to me as when I drove
through the big gate on the evening ]
came home. The country home is the
one place on earth that is free from
sleepless nights.
There is only one way to know Just
whether our cows are robbers or pro-
ducers-buy a Babcock tester. They
cannot dodge that. A robber cow
one that does not earn her keep by
giving milk-can be turned into money
on the butchers block
In planning our work it is well to
plan for profits as well as for WELD.
The yield is not all. We will need to
seek weak places in the fields and re-
plenish with loads of manure. and then
we will not need to read, study, observe
and practice.
Rust is the great enemy of steel and
iron, and yet it does not eat UP as
much of the farm implements as 1t did
prior to the introduction Of axle
grease. Axle grease is the panacea
for rust and is an ever present help.
All 1T needs is some one to make the
application Rust eats like a mort
gage, which has an appetite like a
buzz saw.
