HEARING ON CHARGES
PHONE REMOVAL
Utilities Commission Takes Up
Question Whether the Com
pany's Fees Are Reasonable.

Whether charges made by the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
1or removals are reasonable was the
SUBJECT Of hearing before the Public
utilitles Commission today. A number
OF complaints have been received h,
the commission regarding the charge of

one location to another In the sched-

OF subscribers moving from one house

Ih1s was explained by 8. M. Greer
general commercial superintendent. by
the statement that the company decided
on fixed rate for removals based on
afe average cost, rather than a gradu-
expense to some subscribers.

The charge for outside removals. Mr..
Greer said. Is SO. and for inside re-
moVals II. These charges are made
only during the first year of service.
After the first year. he said, removals
are generally made without charge, the
number being limited to one a year
Complaint was made by Eugene E.
Geddis that he was charged Sc for the
removal Of his telephone from one resi-
dence to another. The answer of the
representative to this was
that the charge was made prior to last
August. when the rates were changed
from IS to 80.
Says Company Should Pay.
Asked by Commissioner Newman if
the total removal charges were less
than the cost of the work, Mr.. Greer
said he could not answer. Commits
sioner Newman inquired also to what
percentage of. removals involved
changes Of equipment. Mr.. Greer re-
piled that he had no definite record.
Alfred T. Gage, secretary of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens Associa-
ion. argued that there should be no
charge for removals at any time, on
the ground that it is a charge which
should be borne by the company and
not by the subscriber.

ODD COINAGE ON NIGERIA
Legal Tender That Is Unhandy to
Garry About in Any Consider
able Quantity.

Among the strangest coins in the
world are those used in certain out-of-
the-way towns and villages in south
west Nigeria, on the west coast of
Africa, and called "manillas." In shape
they resemble horseshoe with the
two extremities flattened out like a
camels foot Being made of solid cop
per, three-eighths of an inch thick,
they weigh over eight ounces each. In
face value" seven Of these queer
coins are equivalent to one quarter,
so that a dollars worth would be an
uncomfortable, heavy load.
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one
time the strangely shaped money had
quite circulation in certain parts of
the coast, but it's use is now restricted
to a few bush towns and one or two
Of the smaller seaboard places, includ
ing Bonny, Brass and Akassa. MA
nillas" are now very difficult to OBJ
tain, and curio collectors value them
not solely by reason of their scarcity
but because of the novel serviette
rings they make when silver plated.

father was a lawyer of some distinc-

famous bred Scott slave case. His
mother died when he was a child and
he was placed in care of Miss French,
cousin. At the age of eighteen he
entered Williams college, but, his

Market for Apples and Prunes.

The people of Norway usually de-
pend on the Norwegian apple crop and
the Servian prune crop for the greater
part of their winter fruit supply. Dur
ing the present season the apple crop
in Norway is very light, being practi-
cally failure; Servia, being at war,
will be unable to supply prunes.
These conditions furnish an oppor-
tunity for American exporters of
fruits to find a large market this sea-
son in Norway for dried and green
apples and prunes, says Consul Gen
eral Michael J. Hendrick, Christiania.
While American fruits, both green and
dried, are largely sold in Norway,
none were heretofore imported direct.

LAMB AND MUTTON
DIFFER GREATLY
Animal at Eight Weeks Old Brings
the Highest Price Ever
AttainabIe.

There is as much difference be-
tween lamb and mutton as there is be-
tween spring chickens and a three
year-old rooster.
There is a limited period in the life
of well-fed animals for growth. Every
factor in the problem of producing
mutton points to early maturity. It's
the early lamb that gets the coin.
At eight weeks old, if in condition
and seasonable to meet the very Sc
lect trade, the lamb brings the high
est price ever attainable, per pound.
A very narrow limit at this time and
the tide Of prices fades away and it
will be necessary to keep him until
another time or season that calls for
a lamb three to five months old, but
at price considerably less per pound.
The lambs marketed at four months
of age do not, as a rule, bring as much
per head as those sold at eight weeks
of age. The longer they are kept the
lower class of market they satisfy
and so on until they are full grown.

SUCCESS WITH THE
FARM LIVE STOCK
Animals Used for Breeding Pur-
poses Should Possess In
diVidual Merit.
CBy E. VAN BENTHUYSEN)

Regularity in feeding and work
makes long-lived horses.
A scrub may yield a profit but if
so, a good animal would give great
er profit.
Feeding an inferior quality of food
is not consistent with the most profit
able stock feeding.
The young SOW proves her ability
by the way she handles her first lit
er.
No young animal will return as good
results as the ones literally fed.
To be too fiery is fault in a horse
drawing heavy loads on an uneven
road
Good stock must have good fare and
attention, and then they will make
most liberal returns.
The food of support is more than
the food of gain, under the most ia
vorable conditions.
The fault in overstocking is not al
together in having too much stock, but
in not having enough feed.
No animal however well bred,
should be used for breeding purposes,
unless it has individual merit
Make it rule to save everything,
the saving of which doesn't cost more
than it is worth.
In breeding, defects are peculiarly
persistent, and are more easily
stamped upon the next generation,
than good qualities.
Mixed grasses make a better and
surer pasture than a single variety,
though it be the very best Of all.
Scant feeding of the young animal
produces that which is all but impos-
sible to overcome by liberal feeding
afterward.
There is no surer destruction to a
herd, however good, than that of
breeding to a bull that is an inferior
sire.
Other things being equal, the most
profitable animal is the one kept every
day at the maximum gain consistent
with health.
1t is not the magnitude of ones
business that gives him good results.
but the manner in which it is con-
Quoted.
If there is one time more than an
other when deep blowing is beneficial
it is when a growth of clover is be-
ing turned under.
There is no royal road to success,
aid if man succeeds he must work
out his own task and execute it with
a will.

GET THE POULTRY

priced grain, however, this can hard
ly be recommended. A convenient
rule, according to the department of
agriculture, is to figure on one shoat
per steer when shelled corn is fed
and two when ear corn. In any cir
cumstances there should be enough
hogs provided to clean up all the
waste corn.
Another convenient basis of calcu-
lation is to estimate that when one
third of a bushel of corn is fed a
steer approximately three-fourths of
pound of pork will be obtained.
With ear corn the gains are greater
but on the other hand corn meal or
corn and cob meal yields very little
pork since it is much better utilized
by the steer. 1t seems indeed to be
proved that the diet which is most
efficient for steers IL the less so for
hogs and vice versa.
1t is customary to feed the hogs
corn in addition to that which they
obtain from the droppings. When
this is done the hogs should always
be fed separately and preferably be-
fore the steers in order not to annoy
the latter.
Farmers bulletin SIS, Economical
Cattle Feeding in the Corn Belt" in
which these questions are discussed,
emphasizes the desirability of paving
feed lots when hogs are following cat
tie. 1t has been definitely shown, say
the government specialists, that hogs
make nearly one pound more of pork
on paved lots for each bushel Of corn
fed the steers. With pork at six
cents a. pound this item alone will
amount to about $3.50 a steer. In ad-
dition the risk Of immediate loss must
be taken into consideration. This
sometimes compels the farmer to ship
his cattle before they are ready and
the loss he incurs in one year may
well be more than the cost of paving
the lot.

The present margin of profit in fat
tening cattle for market is so narrow
that many authorities assert that it is
tnadvisable to feed steers without fol-
lowing them with hogs. If the steers
sell for enough to pay for expenses
the nogs that follow will ordinarily re-
turn sufficient profit to pay the farm
er for his labor.
Interesting figures on this subject
have been obtained by the United
States department of agriculture from
"a Iowa farms. These farms were all
managed by men of undoubted expert
ence in raising cattle. A careful ac-
counting system was adopted and rig
idly followed
The experiments began with the
feeding year beginning in the fall of
1909. Prices at this time we're very
satisfactory and the 961 cattle raised
made an average profit of $205 per
head. These steers were followed by
1,504 hogs which were given extra
grain. The hogs were sold in the
spring of 1910 at an average profit
of 1857 per hog. If this profit is
credited to the steers, each steer
shows a profit of s12.49 In the fol-
lowing feeding year, however, 1910 to
1911, the outcome was different.
Prices were unsatisfactory and the
1,13S cattle were fed at an average
loss for the year Of IS cents a head
Nevertheless the 1876 hogs following
the steers turned this loss into a
profit. The hogs Melted an average
profit of 1888. Crediting this to the
steers We have a net profit per steer
of $404.
Opinions differ on the number of
hogs that it is well to have follow the
steers. When corn is cheap many
farmers feed the steers more corn
than they can eat and run extra hogs
which consume the waste. With high

STUCK TO HIS FRIEND
BORROWER INSPIRED BY SPIRIT
OF LOYALTY.
Had Altogether Too Much SeIf-Re'
spect to Apply to Anyone Else
While Old Neighbor Had
Things to Lend.

No one could truthfully deny that
most of the small farmers of Dilmouth
were addicted to notwithstanding
tools chiefly-aithough as occasion
arose they would borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness.
The burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried to
keep them in condition for use. The
advent of a new farmer, well-to-do
man who brought with him almost
every known appliance for tilling the
ground, seemed to open an avenue of
escape from some of his troubles.
"Mebbe some of these hawks'll take
toll firm that man Barney that's taken

so. My seedtime and harvest has

if l can't turn some of EN- his way,
and get a little rest"
Caleb made his first attempt at
turning them" when Jake Meader, his
nearest neighbor and an inveterate
borrower, came for the wheel hoe,
which lay in the tool shed with one
wheel broken Jake went to the shed
and examined the hoe, and then re-
turned to the grind-stone, where Caleb
and his son were grinding scythes.
Jake's face wore a dissatisfied express
sion.
Amt you goin' into Bangor some
time this afternoon, Caleb" he in
quired, anxiously.
Mr.. Peaslee drew his thumb care
fully along the scythe, testing the
edge.
81 d'know but mebbe shall" he re-
turned, noncommittally "Why?"
WHY" returned Jake, in aggrieved
surprise. "On account of that wheel
hoe-that's why. Here it's been laying
right there in that shed for four-five
days with the wheel broke, and the
weeds gettin' higher in my beets every
minute. callated to borrow it this
afternoon and see if couldn't get 'em
thinned out little-and here l find
that you amt got it fixed yeti"
Caleb regarded the borrower with
fine irony, tempered by an exasper-
ated amusement.
See here, Jake" he said at length,
eff my tools amt in shape to suit you,
why don't you go up the road piece
and try Barney. He's got everything
you need in the way of tools-mebbe
you can get jest what you want there,
and get it when you want it. I'd

Jake turned to Caleb face full of
wounded dignity.
Beats all how a man'll live right
alongside of another man for years,

out, earnestly. Il want you to know,
