RAILROADS spar.
ring FOR DELAY

A Washington dispatch states that
on behalf of the transcontinental rail-
ways, application was made yesterday
to the interstate commerce commission
for a suspension OF it's order in what
is known as the Pacific coast cases.
The application was made pending the
fling Of a bill with the commerce court
asking for an injunction to restrain
the commission from putting its or
ders into effect.
The commission orders were to
have become effective ON November
Is. They materially reduced trans
continental rates on both class and
commodity traffic. They apply to all
of the so-called Pacific coast cases--the
Spokane and Reno cases being most
important.
The application to the commission
was made in chambers by Attorney
Norton, of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and Attorney billiard, of tho
Union Pacific, representing not only
their own roads, but all lines involv-
ed in the proceeding.
No determination of the matter was
reached by the commission. 1t is FIVE
weeks before the commission order
becomes effective and in that time the
commerce court will have opportunity
to pass on the question at issue, un-
less it may desire to take original tes-
timony.
Attorneys for the railroads probably
will file by today bill with the COM
merce court asking for an injunction
to restrain the interstate commerce
commission from putting into effect
its orders. A hearing on that applica-
tion will be held in few days.
If the injunction should be granted
by the commerce court, the commits
sion probably will extend the effective
date of its orders, in order to afford
time for an adjudication of the ques-
tions at issue.
Late yesterday afternoon, the trans
continental railways fled in the COM
merce court bills attacking the inter
state commerce commission orders and
asking for an injunction restraining
these orders from going into effect.

Acres Of Flowers.
California has always been known as
the land of sunshine, fruit and flowers.
At the Panama California Information
al exposition to be held in 1915, at San
Diego, the claim of the state to pre-
eminence in these lines will be demon
strated. The directors of the exp0si-
tion have determined on a vast scale
of floral and horticultural decoration
which will be surprise and delight
to the average visitor. 1t was found
that to secure the plants required for
this scheme would require canvas Of
the entire country and even then that
it would hardly be possible to secure
the quantity needed by the plans as
formulated. Director General d. G.
Collier was not willing to abandon the
plans which had fascinated the board
of directors and he thought out a way
to meet the difficulty. 1t was to use as
much Of Balboa park, where the expo
sition is to be held, as might be need
ed-all of its 1,400 acres if they should
be required-for a city farm and nur-
sery, wherein the exposition could
propagate the plants it would require.

Enthusiastically, and 30 acres were at
once prepared for a nursery, and two
commercial nurseries were bought out
right as a starter. Citizens donated
cuttings, and for weeks 100 men were
kept busy carrying these to the park
and setting them out. Geraniums,
roses and poppies have been planted
by the million. and all kinds of trees
and ornamental shrubs have been set
out in large numbers. The exposition
is four wears away. hut the floral dis
play is to be on a grand scale and the
preparations were begun none too soon
to make it a success

Tumors on Oak Trees.


A unique feature of Cape Cod, to
which DR.. Horace Packard Of Boston
has called attention, is the existence of
many dwarfed red oaks bearing can
GERS more completely resembling the
malignant tumors Of animals thar any
other plant tumors known. Some trees
have hundreds of these great black
knobs, covered with very rough bark
and composed inside Of dense woody
material, and. like human cancer, the
tumors are due t localized primary
infection, causing enormous multiple
cation of the host cells, with infection
Of n%eighboring parts and resulting In
death. The parasites are believed to
be bacteria. A common tumor of the
pansy has been lately traced by DR..
Edwin r. Smith to a special bacterium.
and experiments are 10Y being made
with a peculiar micro-organism that Is
suspected of responsibility for the oak
disease. The reason these red oaks
have been so extensively infected Is
thought to be their weakness from
poor soil. The Cape Cod Of the pill
| grims bore a great growth of fine
| needed pine, the one tree thriving on
| sand, but this growth has been de,
| stroyed, and the succeeding red, white
and scrub oaks make only a feeble
| struggle on the nearly pure silica.

Mine Telephones.

The use of mine telephones is extend
ing very rapidly, and they will ever
tually supplant all other methods OF
signaling. In deep shafts communion
lions by means of telephones is almost
imperative. In fact, mining legislation
In some states compels their use. A
modern mine telephone system, first,
enables the mine superintendent to get
in communication with the foreman or
any operative in a few seconds or min
utes, instead Of having to dispatch a
messenger to the place Of operations,
which might require many minutes or
an hour or two before results could be
obtained; second, in case Of danger,
such as explosions or floods, a tele-
phone system enables the foreman or
operative to communicate with the sur
face at once and possibly save lives
md property; third, in case Of injury
to an employee word can be tele
phoned outside, and by the time the
employee is brought to the surface q
physician can be in waiting.-Engineer

bran and shorts-to keep them in
good condition.
In f%attening shoats our experience
has been that an exclusive grain ra-
ton was not satisfactory. Some sup
elemental food was needed to get
rapid and economical gains. Skim
milk with the grain has given us the
best returns. Next to this come pas
ture and roots. If they are not avail.
able we use alfalfa or clover.
We have usually fed about three
pounds of skim milk to n pound of
grain, though for the larger hogs the
proportion of n part Of grain to two
of skim milk is a mixture frequently
used. The grain fed is usually of
ground barley, bran and shorts, the
proportion varying with the price.
With this ration the hogs weighing
$50 pounds usually eat from five to
six pounds of grain a day and twelve
to fifteen pounds OF skim milk, and
they will gain from one and one-half
TO two pounds per day, using about
three pounds of grain and eight and
pne-half pounds Of skim milk for each
pound of gain.
In feeding roots or alfalfa the ami
mails are permitted to eat what they
will and are given at the same time
all the grain they will eat. A 15O-
pound hog will usually eat five to six
pounds Of grain a day, about one to
one and three-fourths pounds of roots,
and one to three pounds of alfalfa.
It will gain from one to one and three
fourths pounds per day, requiring
about three and three-fourths pounds
of grain and one to two pounds OF
roots or one to W. and one-halt
pounds of alfalfa for each pound Q.
gain.

Pig Feeding
in Montana.
BY F. 3. linfieId, Director
Montana Experiment Station.


In our Northwestern mountainous
country there are certain natural con-
ditions which in a measure determine
the feeds we can give to our live
stock. In the higher valleys particu-
larry corn is not a profitable grain
crop, but barley, both the brewing and
hulless varieties, do very we'll. The
only grain ~by-products are shorts and
bran. Alfalfa and the clovers do we'll
ond so do roots of various kinds. Bar
ley will vary from 80 cents to 1925
per 100 pounds, and bran and shorts
from 80 cents to 81.
On this basis of local food supply
our best ration for weanling pigs is
shorts and skim milk, fed in the pro-
portion of one pound of shorts to four
or five pounds of skim milk. AS the
pigs increase in size, ground hulless
barley may be substituted for a par;
of the shorts.
For brood sows during pregnancy
and after narrowing, the method O.
feeding during the winter has bee.
to give plenty of roughage, as roots
and alfalfa hay, with a light grain ra
ton, sufficient to keep the sow il
good thrifty condition, with ample
flesh but not fat. After narrowing tho
grain is increased, usually feeding
mixture of barley, bran, shorts, ane
some skim milk If available. Root
and alfalfa are provided as a side dish
In the summer the ration is no
very different from that of the winter
except that pasture is substituted TO
the roughage. The boars are fe'
about the same as the sows, givin'
