on paying passengers. In strong con-
trast with the passenger showing is
the freight transportation, in which
in 1907 the ratio of paying load to
lightweight of train was 1 ton to IL
tons.
Compare this historical fact with
the divergence of the relative dead
weights in freight and passenger oper-
alton of 1907 and present-day condi-
tions generally and We must be con-
WINGED that my proposition that the
passenger business is a losing one is
sound.
Another factor in the cost is in
running trains as nearly as possible at
hours solely for the convenience of the
public not only on a single line, but
in the arrangement of train connec-
tions with several lines. This pro-
duces another losing factor, especial
ly on single track trains and that is
interference with and side tracking of
freight trains to let the flyer or mail
trains go by

SHIPPERS IN BAD SHAPE.
Chicago Freight Terminals Are Badl!
Congested.


Reports reaching shippers here in
dictate that there is a serious conges-
ton of freight business in the Chicago
territory. 1t is said that freight pass
ing through the terminal territory is
liable to be delayed for days before
being transferred from the eastern
lines which bring it west to the west
ern lines which will carry it to To-
peka and this territory. One car, said
to have been delivered to the Chicago
belt line company about the first of
the month has not been located yet
and other freight is said to be SINH
larly delayed there.
To avoid this some shipments have
been made via routes around Chicago.
Rates are made from New York to the
Mississippi river and this basing makes
the same rate that is secured by rout-
ing through Chicago.
A few weeks ago, during the strenu-
Gus movement of fuel from the mines
to meet the demands of people who
wanted coal, there was a serious con-
gastion of freight in and near Chi
cago. 1t was held then that ali other
business had been delayed that fuel
might be rushed to destination. The
fuel demand was supplied and now
there is a surplus of offerings from
the mines and the roads are handling
the business with ease. This, how
ever has not resulted in the freight
congestion in the Chicago terminal ter
ritory being cleared up and delay on
business from the east is still the rule.

RAILWAYS NOT TO BLAME.
New York Men Say That They Are Not
Responsible for Cost of Living.

A New York railway man, speaking
of the efforts now being made to fix
the responsibility for higher prices,
calls attention to the fact that the
railways have not in any way been re-
sponsible for the increase in the cost
of living. They have been the victims
of high prices without benefiting from
them at all. If beef or pork or flour
or any other commodity costs more
now than it cost ten years ago not the
fraction of a cent of the increase can
be charged to transportation. The sta
tistics of the interstate commerce COM
mission show that the level of freight
rates has declined steadily.
In 1897 it cost little less than four
fifths of a cent to ship ton of freight
one mile; eleven years later, in 1908,
the ton-mfle rate was still lower, be-
ing about three-quarters of a cent
Bradstreets index numbers for 90
commodities show that the increase in
the prices of these commodities on
the average. from January : 1890 to
January 1, 1909, was PA per cent. If
freight rates had increased during the
same period at this ratio the gross
freight receipts for the year ended
June so, 1908, would have been $243,-
536,407 greater than they actually
were. This sum represents what was
saved to the public in transportation
costs by reason of the price of trans
portation not advancing along with
other prices, and, while rates have de-
clined, everything that a railway buys
has advanced.

NEW TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
Scheme in Michigan to Transfer In
NIid-Air.

There is soon to be installed in the
state of Michigan an entirely new sys-
tenn of freight and mail transporta-
ton. which is especially designed for
rural business. By it's use great
number of patrons are served auto
matically, mail matter and packages
of reasonable size coming to some
convenient station and being deposited
there to await the pleasure of the own
ers 1t is of sufficient capacity to per-
nit the farmer to send a great deal of
his produce to market in this manner
and to receive in return supplies pur-
chased at distant points.
Light metal poles support double
steel track which is from twelve to
twenty feet above the ground except
at the stations where it is depressed
and entirely accessible. These routes
radiate from a central dispatthing sta
ton in loops and the mail and parcels
for each farmer on that line are ar
ranged in boxes and attached to the
carrier in the order in which the resi-
denceS are located.
Between stations the carriers are de-
signed to operate at a speed of about

WILL BUILD OWN EQUIPMENT.
Milwaukee & St. Paul Decides to Con-
struct Cars and Locomotives

The management of the ST. Paul has
decided to enter still more largely into
the business of building it's cars and
locomotives. The experiment which
the company has made in this line has
interested both the railway and the
financial worlds. Last year the COM
pany built 5,6S5 cars in it's Milwaukee
shops and 80 locomotives. On an aver
age, 5,612 persons were engaged in the
shops and the annual payroll reached
over $3,300,000.
The Great Northern railway will
spend $2.5O0,000 this year in improv-
ing its system in the state of Wash
ington, and especially the line through
the Cascade mountains. The most i'm
portant piece of work will be clearing
the land for a distance of 500 feet on
either side of the right of way between
Scenic Hot Springs and the Cascade
tunnel. A great deal of difficulty has
been caused by Instructions rolling on
the track from the mountain sides,
and the road intends to do away with
this danger by clearing everything off
the land adjoining the road in the dan
gerous places. A large amount also
will be spent in building new sidings.

HOW TO FEED DAIRY COWS.

Professor Eckles, of the dairy de-
partment of the Missouri Agricultu-
raj College, in the course of a dis
cussion on feeding dairy COWS laid
down the following general rules:
81. Feed all roughness they will
eat up clean at all times.
80. Feed one pound of grain per
day for each pound or butter-fat pro-
duced per week, or one pound of
grain daily for each three gallons of
milk.
"3. Feed all the COWS will take
without gain in weight.
''The rule regarding the amount
of grain of feed per day for each
COW applies best when based upon
the amount of butter-fat produced
per week, as this makes it applicable
to any breed. The second part of
the rule in regard to feeding one
pound of grain for three pounds of
milk would not work out in all cases,
since in "a heavy-milking Holstein
COW this gives little too large
quantity of grain, and with Jersey
giving rich milk it is little low. 1t
applies best to COWS producing milk
of about average composition.
In the foregoing, Professor Eckles
refers entirely to the quantity to be
fed, and not at all to the character
to be fed.-Rural Californian.

DOTS FOR THE POULTRY RAISER.

At night is the best time to dust
the mother hen and chicks with lice
powder. Work the powder we'll into
the hens feathers.
Turkey hens will usually prove
profitable until the fifth year. 1t is
best, however, to change the males
annually. Don't keep them over two
years at most.
Just as much feed and care is re-
quired to raise mongrels as for pure
breds. The purebreds certainly pre-
sent a much more attractive appear
ance.
Pullets which are early Matched
should not be subjected to any fore
ing process during the summer
months. Their frames should be
kept growing as long as possible.
A "hospital' in which to isolate
sick fowls, is good thing to have.
Many of the poultry diseases are
spead by allowing the ailing birds to
eat and drink with the we'll ones.
Healthy chicks grow remarkably
fast. Coops and brooders that pro-
vided plenty of room when the chicks
were first put out soon become crowd
ed. 1t is then time to provide more
roomy quarters. More is lost than
gained by limiting the quarters of
young chicks.
Sunflower seed is a good ration to
assist in fastening the moult, be-
sides assisting to provide variety
in the feed. Some giant one corner
of the poultry yard to sunfowers in
the spring in order to provide shade
for the fowls during the hot days of
summer. Thus the flowers serve two
purposes, that of furnishing shade
and food.-Farm and Ranch.

POULTRY RAISING FOR PROFIT.

If you have healthy fowls, you
must not feed them in filthy vessels,
and must see that they have an abun-
dance of pure, fresh water. Scald
out all vessels frequently and spread
lime on the floor and grounds used
by the birds.
Poultry raising as a side line is a
safe occupation, and can be made
both profitable and pleasant. AS an
exclusive occupation it is a different
matter, and should be entered into
only after careful consideration
