UTILITIES RULING
CAUSES CRITICISM
Proposed enforcement Of
Street Car Regulation
Meets Opposition.
HEARING SET FOR TODAY
District Residents Urged to Attend
Meeting and 10 Express
Their Views.
HEARING SET FOR TODAY

Members Of the Chamber of Com
merce. Board Of Trade. and other civic
bodies having the welfare of the local
are considerably wrought up over the
proposed enforcement by the Public
Utilities Commission of the recent law
enacted which prohibits the public from
occupying the front seats Of open cars
operated by the local traction companies,
and practically compelling arrest of per-
sons who occupy the running boards Of
any street car moving within the city
limits.
The Chamber Of Commerce, while not
going on record as saying that such en-
forcement Of the law will work untold
damage &c merchants in the matter Of
securing trade. seems to be undivided in
opinion that such will be the case In the
event that the recent law passed by
Congress Is enforced.
Tie-Up In Probable.
II is explained that the traction COM
panies will be unable to comply with
the law, in&smuch as passengers will re-
fuse to get inside the cars when once
on front platforms or running boards.
and that they will rather face arrest
than submit to the ruling Of the utilities
bodies. The result Of this would be
tie-up on railway lines. and keep people
from doing their shopping at the time
they have set aside for that purpose.
Civic body members in discussing the
subject state that, during the summer
months particularly, when people want
to get a breath Of fresh air they are de-
prived of it by reason of not being able
to get the full breeze while riding on the
front platform of open cars.
While some of the recent orders Of the
Public Utilities Commission have been
tried out, some have been found wanting
in the matter of adequately serving the
purposes for which they were intended.
and il Washington is to have better street
car service a good many Of such orders
shall be recalled.
Public hearings on street car problems,
in which a majority Of those in attend
ance speak from selfish standpoints, can
not accomplish desired ends in the mat
ter of serving the entire population. and
as such a public hearing will be held to-
day, II is hoped that many Of the bust
ness men of the district, who are vitality
interested in the welfare OF the city, will
be in attendance so that proper express
sion as to the needs of enforcement of
laws applicable to street cars will be
brought before the utilities commission.
Statistics show that the transportation
facilities and service in Washington are
far ahead Of cities OF a like comparison.
and that the percentage of accidents are
way under those of other communities,
while for politeness and courtesy the
conductors and motormen operating cars
in the national capital are far superior
to those employed elsewhere.

FAVOR
CALENDAR CHANGE
Plan Suggested in Rome Would Put Easter Always
on Same Day--vatican Has Yet to Approve
.. Proposal of Father.

Catholic Church officials in Washing
ton are in favor of remodeling the Gre
gorian calendar in accordance with the
plan proposed in Rome" a weekly mag
azine published in the Eternal City for
English-speaking priests, provided the
support of the vatican can be gained
for 1t. -
"I think the proposed change is a
good thing says the Rev. Ignatius
Fealey, rector of St. Joseph's Church.
There are a number of good points in
its favor. and 1t would bring Easter
around at the same time every year.
This is something the church should
strive for, and I would not be surprised
TO find that It will find favor in the eyes
of the Vatican"

KEY WEST WILL Be
MADE TORPEDO BASE
FOR PANAMA CANAL
Dreadnaughts to Concentrate
at Guantanamo, Where Big
Defenses Will Be.

Key West will be made the torpedo
base of the Gulf of Mexico and the
southern Atlantic as soon as the great
naval base planned at Guantanamo
Bay is partly completed. At Guam
tanamo will be concentrated heavy
land defenses, shops and docks. and 1t
will be the base OF operations Tor the
dreadnaughts of the Atlantic fleet
with view to protecting the Panama
Canal. At Key West will be concen-
trated the speedy little craft, the tor
pedo boats and destroyers.
The Navy Department is proceeding
with its plans for the defense OF the
Panama canal precisely as II there were
to be no change in Administration. This
policy Is being pursued to prove that
the improvements contemplated are die
tated by tactical and strategic consid.
erations which are not to be affected
by politics.
The Wilson Administration will find
itself in the midst of much half-com-
pleted work which IL must carry
through.
the Navy Department is extremely
pleased over the success of the state
Department in acquiring the hills that
line the harbor at Guantanamo. These
hills are naturally situated for defense
'and heavy guns and strong walls viii
be placed on them, so that land at
tack from the rear on the naval base
will stand little chance of success.
No plans for the land defenses have
yet been drawn, the drawings waiting
on the decision of the board of army
and navy officers which is to cover the
ground between January 20 and Febru-
ary 5. Shops are now under construc-
ton there. The improvements contem-
plated are very extensive. as this naval
base will not only be the point from
which protection will be extended to
the Panama canal but to much Of the
American coast itself.

KING OF SPAIN
PROMISES REFORM
FOR HIS NATION
Alfonso Sees Leader Of Party
Opposing Throne and Yields
to Demands.

MADRID, Jan. 15.-Governmental re-
forms, almost revolutionary In their
character, have been promised by King
Alfonso. and the republicans are 5ubi-
liant. II was learned today that AGAR
ate, the republican leader, had been
granted an Interview by the King, who
proposed Immediately to establish an
old-age pension system; greatly LIBERAL
ize the educational system, reduce the
expenses of Spain's military program,
establish religious tolerance, and bring
into being many other reforms that the
republicans long have sought.
II am thoroughly convinced OF King
Alfonso's sincerity and interest" Azca.
rate declared, when he left the royal
audience today. 'T am delighted. Bet
ter things surely are in the very near
future for Spain"
Azcarate finted that King Alfonso had
said that in the event Of another minis
terial crisis resulting from the proposed
reforms, he would consult the leaders of
the anti-dynastic parties before naming
another cabinet.
Today's newspapers devoted much
space to Azcarates audience with the
King and pointed out that ii marked "A
new epoch In Spanish history when the
ruler received q leader Of the opposi-
tion party.
1T opens a new era of peace, progress
and tolerance" was the Interpretation
put upon the incident by the liberal
press throughout the nation.

Excavation Case
OF Humane Body
Fails in Court

practically to a man in vain effort
to convict contractors. at work on the
Arlington Hotel excavations of cru
city to animals as theorists, Attorney
r. H McNeal. for the contractor. de-
clared his clients to be the victims
OF oyerzeal on the part Of the Hu-
name organization in summing up
the case in the Police Court yesterday.
Agents for the Humane Society
caused the arraignment of John R.
McComas, one of the contractors. on
a charge of overworking horses in
the excavation on January 8. The
agents declared that il was cruel to
make the horses pull even an empty
wagon in the sea of mud in the ex-
cavatfons.
Waiter Stilson Hutchins, president of
the Humane Society: DIR. John C. Wise,
Z. S. N, retired; Chief Agent Haynes,
and other officials of the society were
in court and testified in corroboration
of the charges on which McComas was
arraigned-
Judge Pugh dismissed the case.

divides the year into $50 days and then
into twelve months of thirty days each.
He disposes of the extra five days by
adding one to the last month of each
euarter-March, June, September and
December.
The remaining day he inserts between
December 81 and January !, and he
suggests that 1t be observed as "Old
Year" just as at present We celebrate
New Year.
As Father Nahapetian starts his year
on Sunday, Christmas day would fall
on Sunday. April 1 he fixes as Palm
Sunday and April at Easter Sunday.
The only difficulty is that every leap
year Easter falls on DAY which is
not Sunday.
He disposes of this difficulty by plac-
ing the 366th day In Leap Year after
April and makes 1t Easter Sunday.
and leaves April that year as an
ordinary Sunday. This would give an
extra rest day every four years.

Actresses Romance
Ends in Bankruptcy

LONDON. Jan. 15.-A royal marriage
romance is behind proceedings which
have been opened in the bankruptcy
court against Count Herman ostheim.
This obscure title covers the identity
of the former heir to the grand duchy
of SAKE Weimar, who in 1903 renounced
his rights to the revenues and estates
thereof in order to marry Wanda Lot
tero one of the Maxim girls In The
London.
He got an allowance of $4,000 from
his royal friends and managed to get
along. His wife sued him for divorce
in France in 1911 and got dissolution
decree. Other lawsuits in England and
Germany drove the count into the
hands of a London usurer, who today
fled a petition against him.

clover and timothy hay. mangles and
carrots, and can get shorts. oats and
bran. l would suggest that you feed
all the timothy and clover hay the
COW will eat up clean, substituting a
little oat hay at times for variety. Ii
the mangles and carrots are large 1t
will be necessary to chop them up.
Feed these root crops in amounts
varying with demand of the COW.
Cows giving forty pounds of milk
or over per day should have about 40
pounds of roots and those giving from
% to 35 pounds of milk need only
about 80 pounds of roots. This
should be given in two feeds-morn-
ing and evening-and in every case
after milking. For a grain ration to
supplement this roughage and sue
culents mix two parts bran to one of
oats. Feed about one pound of the
mixture to three or three and a half
pounds of milk. If the cowr~is small
and produces milk of high test feed
more grain than to large COWS pro-
ducing low testing milk.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-11-01

Queer. Bran is very good feed for
dairy COWS as it furnishes consider
bile protein, and at the same time is
more or less laxative keeping the
cows digestion in good shape. Ii
possible you should add some sue
culence feed to your ration, for this
you may use such as carrots, mangles
and silage. l suggest that you feed
all the clover hay the COW will clean
up from % to 40 pounds of succulents
and one pound of grain to every three
or three and one-half pounds OF milk
produced daily. This grain ration
should be composed of three parts OF
bran, one part of corn meal and one
part of oats IT you cannot secure
oats the three par is of bran and one
part of corn meal would be sufficient.
AS to whether or not you could
keep more COWS profitably will depend
entirely on the conditions under
which you are working. AS "a general
rule we consider it more profitable to
manage large dairy than a small
one with the limit of about 70 or 70
COWS. In no case is it wise to have
more COWS than one man can handle
properly. Experience has taught us
| that in the dairy, the man who is dl-
rectly Interested should DO the Work.
Ii you are compelled to rely upon
hired help it would not be profitable
to increase your herd to any great ex-
tent.
FEED BRAN RATHER THAN
SHORTS.
Question: My roughage that 1 am
feeding is clover and timothy hay. L
have mangles, beets and carrots.
Have oat hay also, that has not been
threshed. I don't know anything
about feeding mangles or carrots.
Could you give me little informa-
ton how to feed them; also give me
a good balanced ration for a grain
feed. At present l am feeding shorts
at S24 per ton; can get oats at S26 per
ton and bran at $40.

RAISING CALVES.

Question What can you tell me
about raising calves taken from the
COWS at from one to five days old;
how to feed, etc. Thanking you in
advance for the information. H.
w. Portland, Ore.
Answer: Calves as a general rule
should be taken from the mother as
soon as born, but should be given
some of the mothers milk from
clean bucket "a or 36 hours afterward.
AS long as the COW gives colostrum
milk the calf should be fed the
mothers milk. But after that it is
not SO important unless the calf is
weak, then milk may be fed for two
or three weeks, but by the third or
fourth week a complete change to
skimmilk should be made. In
changing from whole milk to skim
milk be careful and feed in the same
quantity leaving out little of the
whole milk and adding the same
amount of skimmilk; gradually de-
creasing the amount of whole milk.
A little grain such as ground oats
mixed with bran or even bran and
barley should be put before the calf
three or four weeks old. He will not
eat much at first but will soon learn
to look for it after each milk feed.
A calf should be given out door exer-
else and nice airy stall; they should
have especially good clean hay such
as clover or alfalfa, and ii the winter
permits should be given pasture range.
DAIRYING ON TEN ACRES.
Question: l am writing in regard
to feeding. We have from seven to
ten COWS from time to time. We raise
all our hay and buy all our feed; have
ten acres all cleared and under cuti
walton. We ship our cream and feed
the skimmilk to the hogs. At present
we are feeding bran and corn meal,
but find the cows do not care much
for bran. Perhaps they would if some
other grain was mixed in with 1T.
What I wish to know is what the col
lege has found that would suit such
conditions as we have here, and could
| keep m ore COWS than l have at pres
ent with any profit?
If you have any bulletins on feeding
you would be confering a great favor
by mailing them to me. e. B.
Route l, Langley, Wash.
Answer: You did not state the
kind of hay you are feeding. You
will realize that there is considerable
difference between clover hay and
timothy. The former being an excel
lent milk producer and the latter
practically worthless as a milk pro-

bother you. l am going to build a
cow stable: but don't know exactly
how to make the stanchlons and stalls
| would like to make the whole floor
of cement or concrete. The building
is 24x24. Could you make floor plan
showing the stalls, stanchions and
everything, and send as soon as pos
sible? I thank you very much in ad-
vance. F. A. A. Hillyard, WASH,
Route |.
Answer: 1t is difficult matter to
arrange barn which is 24x24 to ac-
commodate more than six COWS.
am sending under separate cover a
blue print of barn for twenty COWS.
This will perhaps give you some
suggestions in rearranging the one
you have.
Stanchions may be both of wood or
of bent pipes. I am inclosing rough
sketch showing a possible arrange
ment by crowding both in the feed
alley and in the alley behind the COWS
it would be possible to barn twice as
many COWS, but it would be entirely
unsatisfactory both from the stand
point of convenience and sanitation.
RATION TO BE CORRECTED.
Question: have two young Jersey
calves about week old each. Have
noticed that each time l turn them
out in the barn lot to exercise that
they both eat a large qauntity of dirt
and gravel. Is it natural for young
calves to do that, or is it an indica-
ton of some disease? There is big
chunk OF salt in the calf pen which
they can lick up so it is not for lack
of salt. G. I'll. L. Omak, Wash.
Answer: | note that your calves
have the habit of eating large guam
tity of dirt and gravel when conven-
lent. 1t is not natural for young
calves to do this, nor does 1T show
that the calves are particularly In
need of salt. but rather that the bal
ance of the ration is not perfect.
Perhaps lacking in one or two ele-
ments. I should be pleased to have a
statement from you relative to the
way you are handling your calves;
what you are feeding and so forth,
and I may be able to judge more def
mite what the trouble is.
