should be vigorously condemned
pecords of thousands of shipments
from various points and at various
seasons were examined and comparea.
In many instances it was found that
apparently there had been ineNeus-
| a ble DELAYS and Commissioner Prouty
referred to much of this service ON
the Boston & Maine as decidedly
bad" and 'indefinitely poor. The re-
port continues:
."rhe statements furnished by com
parisons show that the service OF the
Boston & Maine is much less reliable
than that Of either the Pennsylvania
or Baltimore & Ohio. while that of the
New Haven is slightly inferior to the
| PENNSYLVANIA, but about on par with
the Baltimore & 0hie."
Excellent Freight Service.
Special reference is made to the ex-
cellent freight service on the Maine
Central, and Commissioner Prouty
declares that when the other two
members che Boston & Maine and the
New Haven) of this family equal it
there will be no more complaint of
inferior freight service, and there is
no good reason why substantially this
service should not be accorded to all
New England" In summing up chat
phase of the inquiry, the Commission
saws.
Our general conclusion is thai
freight service upon the New Haven
Railroad is inferior to what it should
be. although fairly comparing with
that that in other sections where con-
ditions arc substantially the samei
that the freight service upon the BeS-
ton & Maine during the period dow
cred was extremely poor and justi-
fed in great measure the criticisms
ii received. No satisfactory condition
can he brought about at many points
on the. Boston x Maine, however. un-
til Improvement has been made in the
facilities at those points. There must
be a betterment in the physical con-
dition of the property before there can
be an altogether satisfactory freight
service
An extended inquiry was made BY
Commissioner Preuty into the rate sit
uation. although increases in rates and
idftS Ntit pIiN w tlic ~tii~
eral investigation. The report points
out that for many years the railroad
monopoly of New England has been
more complete than in any other con-
siderable section of this country. The
Boston K Maine has almost eXclu-
sively occupied the northern portion
of that section, while the New Haven
has enjoyed the same exclusive privi-
leges in the south.
our examination" the report con-
t.nues, fairly indicates that freight
rates between points in New England,
while somewhat higher in many in
stances, compare favorably with those
in trunk line and central freight asso-
cia ton territory. They are lower than
corresponding interstate rates in 9TH
er parts of the country, although not
SO low in some instances as the COM
mission made rates of several states
in this outside territory. The long dis
tance rates which New England en-
Joys are generally very favorable to
that locality. IT SHOULD be noted in
this connection that the cost of hand
ling freight is greater in New Eng
land than i'll trunk line and central
freight association territory and. in

Criticism of Equipment.

Adverse criticism is made of the
passenger train equipment of both the

1t is said by statistics to be not up To

vestibule cars, both of which make
for comfort and safety of travellers.
1t is shown that other lines. in these
respects, are far better equipped than
the New England roads.
The serious complaint of the freight
service, particularly of the Boston &
Maine, ''demonstra ted, the report
says, beyond questiop' that in many
cases there had been most serious
short coming, in the quality of the
service rendered. It raised n prcstlmp-

under him. y hog that is on the ground
and not too far gone will respond to
treatment if water IS supplied in this
manner Never attempt to drive an
overheated hog. If possible, after sup
plying some water, erect temporary
shade. such as Il blanket or sheet sup
ported by a couple Of poles. On eX-
tremely hot days it is an excellent plan
to pour barrel of water under the
shade which has been built for the
hogs, and this will afford much com
fort for the entire herd throughout the
day.
The greatest care should be exercis-
ed in preventing the hogs from having
access to streams which may have been
subject to disease germs Under no
circumstances should hogs be allowed
to run in fields opening on large
streams The prevalence of cholera
in past seasons has taught many a
farmer the folly Of counting disaster
by allowing his hogs to water at a
stream which may have watered
score of herds of diseased hogs.
In supplying well water to the ami
mails it is easy to make provision
against their getting their supply
filthy. There are number of com
mercial hog waterers which are mex
pensive and are admirable. These
may be attached to Il water line or to
ii stock tank or barrel. They are
fitted with float valve which auto
matically keeps the drinking vessel
full The drinking vessel is small and
does not admit Of the hogs getting
their feet into it Where barrel is
used for supplying the animals it is
advisable to add a handful of lime to
the barrel of water. since this will rem
der it more palatable after becoming
heated by the sun. Stagnant water Is
wholly unfit for hogs, and it is unwise
to allow them to have access to places
where it exists

FEEDING VALUE OF
CEREALS COMP AIRED

The principal grains used on the
farm for feeding purposes are oats
corn. barley and occasionally wheat
and rye, says the Iowa Homestead.
The feeding value OF these feeds Tor
dairy cows largely lies in their protein
content, because protein is scarce ana
high in price. Too much stress, or
course, cannot be laid on protein sim
ply because it is high in price, for there
are other things coming in which ma
terially affect the feeding value besides
scarcity
There must be considered palatabil-
ity digestibility and the general effect
on the animals body. OF the three
feeds first mentioned corn, oats and
barley they stand in relation to each
other for milk production about as fol-
lows: Oats rank first, each hundred
pounds containing nine pounds of pro-
tein and sixty pounds Of carbohydrates
and fat Barley would come in second
