Increase Shown In State Traffic.

Inc business OF transporting people
over steam and electric lines in Michi.
gan. during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1910, shows goodly increase
over the previous year, according to
figures compiled for the annual report
of the state railroad commission
There were PIG $3.50, 002 passengers car
ried on steam and electric lines dur
ing the year, Of which the steam roads
carried 21,93S,992, and the electric
lines-which includes municipal street
railways-a total of 1877, 727,010 passen-
gers, an increase in business over the
previous year for the steam roads Of
1881 ,294 passengers, and 26,S70,444
for the electric lines.
Electric lines killed one passenger
out of every 9,115,572 carried, while
the steam roads killed one to every
1,82S,249 carried, the number killed
on electric lines being 81, and IL on
the steam lines. Only five electric
railway employees were killed, while Sc
steam road employees met death in the
course of their occupation. 1t is point
ed to as significant by the commits
sion, that 141 trespassers on railroad
rights ofway were killed during the
year, and Chairman Glasgow of the
commission states that the commits
sion is giving considerable attention
to the matter of keeping trespassers
off railway rights-of-way in an effort
to lessen the number of this class of
deaths. During the year SO people
were killed at street crossings by
electric and steam lines.
There were 147 miles of steam rail-
road constructed during the year as
against A miles of electric road, and
of the steam roads new mileage 6S
miles was main line track. That the
business has increased during the year
Is shown by the extensive purchase Of
new equipment, the commission hav-
Ing authorized the purchase Of 200
locomotives, 62 passenger coaches, 400
ore cars. 1900 freight cars, bag
gage cars. Z diners, 5000 box cars,
1900 gondolas, $50 ballast cars and
81 switch engines.
May Bar Veterans From Some Offices.
State officials are displaying inter
est in the proposed proceedings in
the state courts to determine whether
a Civil war veteran whose property
S exempted from taxation, is ineligi-
ole TO hold certain public Offices.
The case has arisen in Ford River
ownship, where the township board
mas declared vacant the Office of
school trustee held by a veteran of
he Civil war, on the score that he is
lot taxpayer, the law requiring that
only taxpayers shall be elected to

HAY GRADES
ARE FIXED
Timothy Has Lead, Especially
Among City Feeders, Because
It Is Not Only Nutritious
but PaIa bic.

The rules of the National Hay asso.
citation recognize 23 grades of hay.
which seems to fall into five classes
timothy. clover, mixed timothy and
clover. wild grasses and alfalfa. Choice
timothy hay must be sound, properly
cured, of bright natural color not
mixed with more than one.twentieth
of other grasses. and well baled. Low.
er grades of timothy are Nos. /, 2 and
3 and mo grade" Clover hay has
two grades, No. l and No. 2. No. l
clover must be medium clover, sound.
properly cured, not mixed with more
than one.twentieth OF other grasses
and well baled. Choice alfalfa hay
must be reasonably fine, leafy alfalfa
of bright green color, properly cured.
sound, sweet and well baled. Other
grades of alfalfa are Nos. /, 2 and 3
and mo grade" These rules are used
by most cities that have official In.
spection.
A large percentage OF the timothy
on the market is graded below No. 1.
The reasons are that many meadows
are cut for years until they become
weedy and mixed with other grasses.
and that the hay Is often cut too late,
so that It loses the bright natural col.
or and Dalatability.
Timothy has the lead. especially
among city feeders, because It is not
only nutritious but palatable and non.
laxative, and the horse is not likely to
oyerfeed. Nevertheless, other kinds Of
hay would often prove better for the
feeder. Alfalfa. for instance, has high
muscle.buildins qualities and Is espe.
cially valuabl. for draft horses. II Is
highly rellshed, however. and the
horse may overfeed.

FARM PLANS

tiers Overlooked.

Few farmers realize the difference
In income that may be produced on
their farms by the systematic intro.
duction and rotation Of clover or
other leguminous crops over the en-.
tire area Of their tillable land. The
planning Of rotations to meet certain
feed requirements and to grow crops
which shall be the greatest income
producers under given conditions is
problem that Is not easily solved
by all the tillers OF the soil. The con.

largely overlooked by farm owners In

The open-Front Hen House.

The accompanying illustration shows
one of the curtain.front houses In use
at the Maine experiment station. Fresh
air has been big consideration in the
building Of this house. which has a
curtained front to the house proper
and curtain-front roosting room. Pro.
fessor Gowell, expert In charge OF
poultry raising at this station, has
found this method Of ventilation very
satisfactory.
The building is 12O feet long and 16
feet wide. The front wall is 6 2-3 feet
and the rear wall 81 feet high from
the floor to the top Of the plate. The
roof Is of unequal span, the ridge be.
Ing four feet in from the front wall
and the height Of the ridge above the
floor Is nine feet. The sills are Axe
inches and rest on a rough stone wall
The floor. consisting Of two thick.
nesses Of hemlock boards, rests on
2xSinch timbers, which are placed two
feet apart. The rest Of the frame OF
the building consists Of 2x4-lnch ma,
terial. The building is boarded, pa.
pered and shingled on both roof and
walls, and In addition the rear wall
and four feet Of the lower part OF the
rear roof are ceiled on the inside OF
the studding and the space packed
with dry sawdust Outside of the
building three-foot platform extends
across the ends and along the front
The house is divided into four 30x16
foot pens. In the front side of each
pen are two twelve-light windows and
door 21a feet wide. The space be
tween the window and door comes
close up to the caves. leaving an un
broken front three feet high below the
caves. The opening is 3xl4 feet and is
covered by wooden frame, covered
with teE-ounce duck. This curtain Is
hinged at the top and Is swung In
when opened, and 1t is always kept
open, except on stormy days and win
ter nights. Each pen Is Of suitable
size to accommodate 100 fowls, thus al
lotting 4.s square feet Of floor space
to each bird.
A roost platform four feet ten inches
wide and three feet above the floor ex.

NURSE TELLS Of SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and In every in
stance, always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that Of a lady friend
of mine who, when child, was af.
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not 90 to school as the dishgure.

at once set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.

of ringworm. The children's faces

POPULAR VOTE
ON SENATORS
IS REJECTED

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
senate defeated the resolution pro-
posing legislation providing that SEN
ators be elected by direct vote OF
the people. Fifty-four senators
stood for the resolution and SS
against.
Though the division shows a
large majority in favor of popular
election, the number was not suf-
ficient by four to carry the motion,
which required two-thirds vote.
Immediately after the reading of
the journal the popular election res
was taken up. So long as
the resolution has been before the
senate, and carefully as the mem
bership has been canvassed, it was
recognized that the moment the
question was brought up that it
would go down to defeat.
Though it has been understood
that debate would be shut off on
the measure when called up, Bacon,
who opposed the resolution as al
tered under the Sutherland amend
ment, placing the control of cleo
tion in the hands of congress, how
ever. the amendment that might
render the measure acceptable to
some southern senators was not
agreeable. The Georgia senator's
efforts to provide that federal su-
pervision of elections should apply
only to the state where the legis-
latures had failed to designate the
manner or method of holding cleo
tions was not accepted.
