SCORE ONE FOR THE SHIPPER
Eono and Short Haul Provision OF the
Interstate Commerce Act Declared
Constitutional.

Washington-In the majority opin-
ion of the commerce court, for
mally handed down Tuesday, in the
transcontinental rate cases, it is held
that the long and short haul provision
of the interstate commerce act Is con-
stitutional Judge Archbold concurs
in the issuance of temporary injunc-
ton against the orders of the inter-
state commerce commission, but in his
opinion holds the long and short haul
provision to be invalid.
The Commerce court reached the
conclusion that the cases involved in
the present proceeding afforded the
best possible opportunity for deter.
mination of the constitutionality of the
long and short haul provision of the act
to regulate commerce. 1t was realized
that the question eventually would
have to be fought out before the Unit
ed States supreme court.
BY an exhaustive examination OF
the entire law, the court reaches the
conclusion that it is the duty of the
commission to exercise its discretion
to establish lower rate for longer
haul than for a shorter, if the condi
tons, in it's opinion, warrant such 40
ton.

FEW FACTS ABOUT PouLrR,
Quality of the Eggs Greatly Depends
on the Food Given-French Use
Spices In Fattsning.

Eggs may differ materially in color.
and yet may not differ much IN nu'
triment. Again, they may diner large
ly in nutriment, when, for instance,
they are neglected or poorly fed. or
when they eat filth, damaged grain
or tainted meat. The crop and gizzard
of hen cannot transform impure food
into pure food products. The real value
of an egg for food lies inside the shell.
and is not indicated by color of shell.
says the American Cultivator.
In France they mix spices ana herbs
with the food given to fattening poul-
try, which. are said to impart dell
cious flavor to the meat.
Fowls intended to be killed should
not only be confined in a coop for "a
hours without food. but should be sup
piled with plenty of drinking water,
which adds to the cleanness of the In
testines.
If drawn carcass has any distance
to go. it may mold inside; or If a
fly does not blow" in it, there Is
large exposed surface hidden from
sight which may become infected by
some means during transit. II moldy
sour or fly blown, it is no longer sal
able, at least for anything like fail
price, and it is not safe as food.
A poultry lecturer in Scotland some
years ago, in an address on the rear
ing and general management of chick
ems, said on the subject OF food. ht
would give a wrinkle" worth its
weight in gold. At three days old thu
chickens were qualified to eat prett!
nearly anything, but he warned then
against the practice Of feeding thu
chickens on soaked bread. They shoult
adopt the following plan: Fill the lit
tie linen bag half full Of rice, put l
into water and let it boil five minutes
They should then withdraw the ba
and let the water drain away an
they would find the rice whole an
