St. Louis, to whom Gov. Hadley
had rendered the place.
One of Judge Ferriss' first Off
cial duties will be to sit with his
colleagues in appointing a COM
missioner to take the evidence in
the contests instituted by the de-
feated Democratic state candidates
against their successful Republic
can opponents.
Judge Ferriss resigned as circuit
Judge in st, Louis to become gen
eral counsel for the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company. He is
a Republican, and has long held
rank as one of the leading attor-
neys of the state.
Judge Ferriss will serve until
December 31,1912, The salary OF
the Missouri supreme judges is
$500 a year. They have the APP
pointment of one stenographer at
a salary of 1925 a month.
The appointment gives the Re-
publicans control of the Supreme
Court for the first time in forty
years. After the first of the year
there will be four Republican iud
ges on the bench-Judges Lamm
Kennish, Brown and Ferriss. The
three Democratic judges are GRAY
es, Valiant and Woodson.
The Democrats are contrasting the
seats of Judges Kennish anc
Brown, who, on the face of the
November returns, were elected by
about 1000 majority.
The contests were instituted il
the Supreme Court, which will TO
low the usual procedure by APP
pointing a commissioner to take
the testimony and file a report.

A reduction in charge for Pull

feet in January, welcome news to
our travelling public.
The recent death of Judge Bur-
CESS, one of the Venerable Demo-
cratic Justices OF the Supreme
Court, following close on the
death of the late Chief Justice
Fox, removed one more Democrat
from the bench of that court and
the retirement OF Judge CAN'T,
January 1st, will leave but three
Democratic disadvantages Val
liant, Woodson and Graves. They
will be in the minority. Justice
Lamm, who was the only Republic
can on the bench when Justice Fox
died Justice Kennish, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Hadley to
serve till January 1, and who was
elected by the people to serve till
1913; Judge Brown, who was elect
ed to a term OF ten years to sue
coed Justice CAN'T, and Judge
Franklin Ferris, the newly APP
pointed Justice who succeeds the
late Justice Burgess, will consti-
tute the Republican majority. These
Justices will rule the court but it
will be free of partisan domination
They are Republican in their poll
teal faith and alliances but they
are eminent lawyers who put the
law and ~justice-the square deal
above all partisan considerations,
The high court cannot be relied up
on by partisans of any kind to use
the law and their judicial author
ity for any partisan purpose.
The Supreme Court elects sever
al court officers, who hold during
the pleasure of the court. The
clerk is commissioned for a defin-
lite term, and the present Democrat
ic incumbent will doubtless be re-
tanned till his term expired-fivt
years hence; but the marshal ant

A Contest in Saline

A curious violation Of the cleo
ton law, which may be used in an
swering unreasonable allegations
set up by Democrats in their con-
tests OF the election of Republican
state officials, was = yesterday
brought to the attention of Selden
P. Spencer, attorney for the Re-
publican contestees. The viola
tion is that the judges and clerks
in Saline County, a strong Demo-
cratic district, which served great
ly toward keeping the Democratic
candidates from a worse beating
than they got, used a rubber stamp
in placing the signatures, on the
back of the ballots. The law
plainly states that the initials of
the judges shall be signed ON the
ballots. These election officials
aimed to- save time and trouble
by the Use of the stamp.
"The most remarkable and indie
fensible departure from technical
correctness that was found in the
st. Louis vote is nothing compared
to such a departure as was found
to have been pursued in Saline
County" said Mr.. Spencer yester-
day. "The failure of these Off
cials to obey the provisions OF the
law, which is unmistakable in Its
meaning and purpose, will play q
part i'm the election contests."-
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Referring to the above, a rubber
stamp was used ON a few votes in
this county and, like the other
loop holes being hunted for, Il
simply q lot of rot But Of course
1t was an irregularity and In case
of q contest will go against the
Democratic party.

same labor to keep 1000 hens at a food
cost of $1,000 and produce 10000 dozens
of eggs. If the eggs sell at an average
price of 80 cents a dozen we would re-
ceive in the first instance $1,650, or
$1,150 profit, and In the second in
stance $1,000, or $4,000 profit.
There would be the increased invest
ment Of 500 hens and additional house
room, amounting to about $500. But
this would be fixed capital, and the
interest and depreciation would not
amount to more than 10 per cent, or
$50. So by keeping 1000 instead of
500 we would really gain $500 above
all expenses.
This of course is a loose estimate,
for with good care 1000 hens quarter
ed on four or FIVE acres viii lay more
than 10000 dozens Of eggs in a year
that Is, If we have the right kind of
hens. Poor hens will not pay a profit
anyway, so there is no use figuring on
them. That is a mistake many make.
They think one hen is al good as an
other Of the same breed.
The breed has little to do with the
laying of Individual hens. AS a race
some fowls are more prolific than 9th
ers. A simple diet and hard work
mean a lot OF eggs.

Every Detail Needs Attention If Profits
Are to Be Realized From Work.


Much time and money are lost upon
the farm by inconvenience. To the
farmer. labor is money and time is
valuable. Whenever time is lost and
labor is sacrificed the profits are apt
to be small.
Fences should be located with refer
nee to convenience. The rotation
should be carefully planned before
fences are located and fields are laid
out for the different crops. Fences
are expensive, and they should be con-
structed with reference to convenience
and adaptability. The gates should be
properly made, adequately suspended
and conveniently located. No unneces-
sary time should be lost in passing
to other fields.
The tool shed, the barn, the garden
and the pasture should all be located
with reference to the needs Of the a
ager. Thirty minutes lost every day
for a year means a loss of nearly a
months work.
Perhaps less attention is given to
the water supply than any other neces.
sity upon the farm. On many farms
the well Is located In the wrong place,
and Oh not q few stock water is scarce
or difficult to reach. This is extremely
unfortunate for the animals as well as
for the manager Of the farm. Animals
are sometimes driven several miles for
water and in this way cost their owner
more than they are worth.
For convenience the farmstead
should be carefully planned before
the different buildings are located.
Mistakes in building are costly and
should not be made. Inadequate build
ings, poor fences and insufficient water
supply not only reduce the profits of the
farm, but cause the hands and teams
to be overvur ked and the children to
become discouraged with farm life

ton of the second-class fares is
therefore necessary to a fair con-
~sideration of the whole subject.
Third-class accommodations, and
consequently fares, have no par
allel in North America, exclusive
of emigrant. trains, and need not
be considered.
The price OF second-class tickets
varies from sixty to seventy-five
per cent OF the first-class tickets.
The average is about sixty-six and
two thirds per cent. The extra
charge for baggage in Europe is
the same for asecond class pass
enger as for one holding a first
class ticket, and a comparison may
therefore be fairly made with the
first class fare in America, without
a parlor car seat. The actual
second-class fares on the eleven
routes are the basis of the calcu-
lation.
The traveller above referred to
also made sixteen Journeys in
Europe with hand baggage only,
covering 1924 miles, for which
first-class fare amounting to $46.72
was paid, the average speed being
a trifle over % miles an hour.
This rate figures out a trifle over
three and a half cents a mile. If
second -class tickets had been pur
chased the cost at the published
rates for the same routes, with
hand baggage only, would have
been $30.93, or 2.42 cents per mile.
At the rates above stated travel
ing first class in America for a sim
liar distance in ordinary coaches,
with hand baggage only, would
cost 2.28 cents per mile or $29.2S
for the distance of 1924 miles. This
is $17.45 less than the first-class
fare in Europe for the same dis
lance, and $1.65 less than the Sec
ond class fare.
The cost of travelling secondclass
in Europe with only hand baggage
is, therefore, about the same as the
cost of travelling first class in Ans
erica with only hand baggage. The
cost of travelling second class in
Europe with baggage of the weight
given above is thirty-three and a
third per cent. higher than the
cost of travelling in America with
the same baggage. This percent
age will not be as large, of course
with a smaller amount of baggage
but whatever is paid on the conti-
nent of Europe on that account in
the great majority of cases will be
found to be in excess of the cost
here.
Various other comparisons may
be made in the figures given, but
they all show that under equal
conditions the ordinary passenger
fares in North America are con-
siderably cheaper than in Europe
notwithstanding the much greater
density of population in the coun-
tries of the latter. Judging from
these figures the American people
have no just cause of complaint Of
the cost Of travelling by rail in
this country.-From Official Rail
Way Guide.

The Cost of Travelling by
Rail in Europe and North
America

The question as to whether
travelling by rail in Europe is or
is not more comfortable than in
North America, is one the decision
Of which depends largely upon the
opinion of the individual as to
what he considers are the most
essential elements of comfort. An
American using the compartment
of contracted size in the coaches
of Europe, in the absence of the
larger space to which he is accus-
toned in the ordinary American
passenger coach, or in the parlor
or sleeping car, is apt to feel
cramped and constrained unless he
happens to be the single occupant
On the other hand, the native
European traveller prefers the
company of the few he encounters
in the compartment to that of
the many who occupy our ordinary
coaches or parlor cars
The question as ito the cost of
travelling is, however, n of fact,
not of opinion, and any testimony
that tends to throw light upon
the subject ought to be of interest
at the present time, when SO many
politicians seeking popular favor
desire to force reductions or re-
sist increases in the rates of fare
charged by our American roads.
The figures given below are
taken from notes made by a not in
experienced traveller, of amounts
actually paid during a recent tour
of several Thousand miles on the
European continent, in passing
through countries having a total
| population of about one hundred
! and thirty million people and trav-
cling between sixteen cities with
an aggregate population of about
nine millions. A large number of
the railways r owned and oper-
ated by the respective govern
ments.
In the journeyings in North Am
erica with which a comparison is
made the country traversed has a
population of about fifty millions
and the routes T between sixteen
cities having ar aggregate popula-
ton of a little less than ten mill
lions. These figures are taken in
both cases from the former, not
the recent census, as the complete
statement OF the latter are mott
as yet accessible. The figures for
1910 will doubtless show a large
increase in both aggregates. Many
of the European cities have made
phenomenal growths in the past
ten years, while our own cities
have not stood still.
The territory covered in Europe
was within a square of about six
hundred miles by nine hundred
miles, and is therefore about equal
to the part of United States north
of the Ohio River and between the
Atlantic coast and the Mississippi!

HOPPER FED POULTRY.

Large Number Of Hons is Kept.
Where hens are kept in large num-
bers no plan will give better general
results than hopper feeding a dry
mash and scattering hard grain in lit
ter. The economy in feeding the mash
dry from a hopper is in the reduced
labor, which is one Of the most expen-
sive items. Doing the work with half
the labor, says New England Poultry
Journal, mean that we can keep twice
as many hens, and If each individual
hen does not pay as large a profit as
where more labor is given her tie ag-
gregate will be larger.
For instance, If 500 hens at a food
cost Of $500 produce $500 dozen eggs

travelled in Europe, we find the
following result:
Travelling first class, 2, 1854 miles
in Europe, at 3O.4 miles per hour,
with an average OF 1853 pounds Of
baggage, cost $95.97 or 4.46 cents
per mile.
Travelling first class, 2,154 miles
in North America, at 1915 miles per
hour, with an average of 1863 pound
of baggage, including reserved seat
in parlor a would cost $61.56 or
about 1855 cents per mile.
In this last calculation the cost
of extra baggage and of parlor car
seats is reckoned exactly the same
ais for 2,211 miles, that is respective
ly $2.75 and $9.70.
Under the above conditions, the
cost OF railway travelling in Eu-
rope is over 55 per cent higher
than in North America.
To state the matter differently
A passenger with a trunk in Eu-
rope would travel first class 500
miles in IA hours and ~ minutes at
a cost Of $l&.25; while a passenger
in North America with the same
baggage would travel in aparior
car 500 miles in 70 hours and So
