Railway Wages and
Railway Earnings.

There we're substantial increases
in the wages of railway employees
during the fiscal year 1911. Re-
ports filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission show that
the total compensation to the en-
ployes of railways over 500 miles
long was 81, 005,2 77,2 49. The to-
tai wage cost to the railways for
the year was greater by $41, $685.
822 than it would bave been at the
rates of pay in effect during 1910,
and greater by 500, 297, 678 than it
would have been at the rates of
pay during 1909.
Notwithstanding an increase of
2, 108 in the miles of railway oper-
ated, there were fewer employees
on the payrolls June 80, 1911,
than on June 30. 1910, by 81. O37.
yet the total compensation paid to
employees during 1911 was greater
than that paid during 1910 by
$40, 976,216. This is greater than
the increase in the gross earnings
of the railways by 500, 595, 121.
The net revenues of the railways,
which are what is left after pay
ing operating expenses, fell off by
$iO,98S,539 during this same pc
riod in which compensation in
creased nearly fifty million dollars.
These figures are summarized
from Bulletin No. % of the Bu-
reau of Railway Economics, which
is based on official reports made
by the railways to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and which
exhibits in detail a comparison of
the aggregate compensation to
different classes of employees, the
number of employees of different
classes, and the relation to railway
traffic for the fiscal years 1909,
1910, and 1911.
The summary of revenues and
expenses of the steam railways
over fifty miles in length for the
month of December, just issued
by this Bureau. shows that for the
calendar year 1911 the total oper-
ating revenues were less than for
the calendar year 1910 by $27,-
sos, 78O, and the net revenues less
by 500, 286,78

Improvement In
Rural Agriculture.

With the coming of the tele-
phone, the trolley and the free ru-
raj delivery to the country districts
an impetus in improvement of
living environs has been noted and
especially is this true in improved
school buildings. Going through
the farming regions, especially in
some parts of the East and Middle
West, the Far West and the
South, nothing could be seen more
desolate than the bare, hideous
school building erected in the ug-
liest and crudest form of arthitect-
ure, filled with hard benches with
unattractive walls and with poor
lighting and heating facilities.
Gradually a change is taking
place. The new school houses are
built with some regard to their re-
lation to environment. Light ex-
posures are planned for and the
element of beauty is not entirely
! i g nored Many of the rural
schools have beautifully kept
grounds where the children's gar
dens show taste and an apprecia-
ton of the decorative effects of
flowers. Vegetable gardens are
laid out attractively and as in
many of the rural schools agri-
culture is part of the curriculem,
the gardens are of practical value
as well as bestowing as aesthetic
service to the whole community.
There seems to be an awakening
and a most commendable move
ment in the identifying of the ru-
raj schools and attention is being
paid to architecture and school
Fairgrounds and their equipment,
sanitary conditions and interior
decoration. And efforts are being
made to have the school of the
country child an appropriate
place to get his education.

where the profit or the loss lies.
Dairymen are making rapid pro-
gress because they use the scales
aud the Babcock test and follow
these with the necessary bookkeep-
ing. Experiment stations offer
valuable suggestions to farmers of
every community. 1t costs the
state much to discover desirable
new methods, but any farmer
may then at slight expense test
these for himself. Let him adopt
the crops, the cultivation, the fer
tilizers, the live stock and the
feeds which his books show pay
increased returns.
1t is not enough merely to ex-
pect a living from the land. In

who make much more. In hard

Farming on a Business Basis.

Rural prosperity is hampered by
the lack of competition. Compe-
fition would quickly crush city
business man who tolerated meth
ODDS as shiftless as those followed
ON some farms. The farm family
can subsist on minimum of pur-
chased necessities. Most of its
living comes directly from the
Hand. Unless natural ambition
stirs to great undertakings, farm
life may become a dull, meager
existence.
The way to make farming profit
able is to study every operation
upon it. One should keep books
which will show the outlay and
dhe income for each crop, each
kind of stock and each combina-
tion of the two, never overlooking
the income and outgo of soil fer
fility. Every business man keeps
books to show his profits and
losses. Farmers who make the
most of their opportunities do
likewise. 1t is not competition
but ambition which spurs them on
to adopt business methods.
On every farm there are some
crops, some rotations and some
kinds of stock and methods of
feeding that are more profitable
than others. Few farmers know

The Way of Release.

There is a loneliness for each of
us. 1t comes after wide pros
poets of sea and sky, at once en-
veloping and piercing us like the
gray wet mist on the oceans coast.
That loneliness of the little indi-
vidual life, as it takes its way
through space and time, is only to
be eased by comradeship. To
save us from the ever-deepening
silence, we need the society of our
kind. 1t is good to share their
condolences, to yield up our best
thoughts, which come from far
down, sometimes with wrench.
Reticence grows with the silence
feeds upon. The only living part
of us is that which flows and,
moving, finds its way to the day.
light out of the hidden tangles Of
its source. 1t is hard to reach
over the frontier lines and bespeak
another wanderer, but it is sterile
to live unuttered. That we be
not wholly banished to the realms
of silence, the Almighty created
us male and female-that we find
freedom and release more readily
through mutual need, in a con-
verse that shall not be misunder-
stood, even when we speak of ut.
termost hopes and dim desires.
The difference of sex is as if a
pontoon bridge were flung out
over the estrarglng sea that flows
between. What a man cannot say
to his brother who has tracked the
wilderness by his side, or sojourn-
ed with him in the house of death,
he can tell to a woman. The wo-
man who fits gayly or cynically
on the surface as she sits with her
sisters at talk, or goes silent in
their noise, finds her voice and
sober utterance with the man who
is one with her in the larger work
of her days.

Young Fields denied his responsible

that the evidence was rather conflict
