WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The annual
report of Postmaster-G General Frank
Hitchcock was filed with the president
today. Postm aster. General Hitchcock
Is placing the %postofice department,
probably the most important of all the
great departments of the government,
on a thorough business basis. He re.
tier ates his dem ands, made in the pre-.
vious annual report, that the second.
class rate be made to conform with
business principles. 1t Is In this di.
vision OF the department that the great
deficits OF the postals have been regis.
tered. Mr., Hitchcock demands that
magazines and other periodical pub
tcations, except newspapers, whose
circulation is usually limited In terri.
tory, be made to pay the cost of trans.
hitting their advertising pages
through the country. He declares that
il q reasonable rate we're fixed for
such publications the department
would 500 be doing business at a
profit and could reduce the rate on
first class mail matter to one cent.
On January l the department will
place in operation the postal savings
systems in 48 Offices of the second.

be thoroughly tried out before being
placed in effect in the large first. class

Keep the henhouse CLAN.

Any one who has tried the plan Of
cleaning the henhouse daily will never
willingly leave the Accommodations a
week. month or six months at a
time. 1t takes but a few minutes each
morning to rake off the dropping
boards, and there is none of the dread
which accompanies the semiannual or
even the weekly cleaning. Then with
an old broom brush down the cobwebs
and sweep the floor and see that the
windows are clean enough to admit
the sunlight. A small hand sprayer
and 4 few minutes devoted to it's use
about the roosts and nests once a week
will destroy the troublesome mites.

Fermenting Swine Food.

The practice of fermenting food for
swine used to be much more common
than it is at present. In the case of
cottonseed meal the Texas station
recommends mixing with other meal
and allowing the whole mass to sour.
The New Hampshire station obtained
better results from fermented bran
than from unfermented bran. With
foods we'll adapted to pig feeding it is
not likely that fermentation would be
of any benefit.

MEXICO CITY, January 30.-Offi-
cials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and of the Order of Railroad
Conductors believe that by next Thurs
day the full ballots of American con-
ductors on the National Railways of
Mexico, voting on whether they shall
resign in a body, will have been count
ed. They do not hesitate to predict
that the men will vote almost solidly
to resign and leave the country.
Il. +. Curtiss, vice-president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said that
the men would undoubtedly remain
firm in their determination to leave
the service of the National Railways in
the face of the refusal of the board of
directors to grant any of their requests.
Railway officials, on the other hand,
say that much doubt exists as to
whether a majority of the ballots will
favor resignation. They say that many
conductors and engineers desire to re-
main with the company. Both EN-
ployes and railway officials agree that
the final word has been said on both
sides and that the only remaining ac-
ton is the ballot.
Demands Refused.
abruptly Friday, when the railroad di-
rectors fatty refused all the men s de-
mands, began on January II, when the
chairman of the committees of engi-
neers and conductors presented to A.
Clark, general manager of the road, six
requests. On January 10, General Man
ager Clark replied that the company
declined to enter into any agreement
on any requests, assigning his reasons
in detail.
The next day directors of the rail
road passed IA resolution in which the
men were assured that the policy of
the ROAD was not to discriminate
against them and it "does not propose
TO discontinue the hiring of foreign
employees and much less exclude those
who are serving already because of
their nationality, but to give Mexican
citizens, for reasons which are obvious
and publicly known, "A chance aud OPP
