Grade Crossings.

"The elimination OF grade crossings
although most desirable, has proved te
be great burden upon the railroads and
has been carried forward more rapidly
than the roads resources have warrant.
ed. There should be a temporary sus-
pension of new undertakings of this ma
ture until the roads shall have recovered
their financial equilibrium"
This paragraph is taken from the re-
port of the Vermont members of the
New England conference, made to Gov.
Allen M. Fletcher, and consequently is in
the nature of recommendation for Off
eial consideration. It would be difficult,
indeed, to find a flaw in this recommen.
dation.
1t is true that the elimination Of grade
crossings, or such of them as are i'm more
than the ordinary degree unsafe, is de-
sirable. The railroads themselves are
of this mind. They have no desire to
operate over crossings that are unsafe.
1t is also true that the elimination has
been carried forward with great rapidity.
The number that must be eliminated an
nualiy is prescribed by law. The time
was when the number was not too high,
perhaps, for the roads gould eontine
themselves to the abolishing of those to
eliminate which was not prohibitively
costly proceeding. By the mere process
of elimination land it is no play of
Words the time has been reached when
only the more expensive grade crossings
remain and the burden of elimination is
most heavy.
The burden has been increased in 9th
er ways, which, while they may have
been indirect, have been none the less
pressing. 1t does not have to be estab-
lished that the railroads in the past few
years have not been enjoying any
marked prosperity. The cost of operat-
ing and the cost of everything going into
operation and maintenance, has gone up;
labor has increased in price, taxes have
jumped amazingly, and the price the
roads can charge for transportation serv-
ice TO the public has diminished. In
short, the roads have not the money to
do the elimination work on the extensive
scale now demanded.
ht HupEfsIloH VI u temporary SuS%
pension, being made in such an official
deserves to be considered The
money which the roads are forced to
put into this work may be considered as
an increase of their tax burden. At
least, it is not a productive expenditure,
it does not help to swell the gross in
come Of the roads. But that in itself is
no reason why crossings
SHOULD not be eliminated in due season.
1t may be reason, however, why the
railroads should not be forced to the an
nual expenditure in this line to which
they are now driven.
There must be dangers attending hui
man life every minute of the "a hours of
the day. The railroads cannot eliminate
every bit of the danger that naturally
belongs to rairoading. They can't keep

Georgia year or SO ago, but the rail
roads can't prevent such happenings
1t does seem as if the public had
responsibility in the matter of grade
crossings Inasmuch as the danger can
not be wholly eliminated, no matter
what steps are taken, the public should
be expected to exercise reasonable eau"
ton. Ii an automobile racing through
the country at speed of 40 miles an
hour plunges into a grade crossing just
in time to be struck by an express, who
can say with justice that the railroads
are wholly to blame for the accident'
In other words, there is division of re-
sponsiblity and crossing accidents are
not always wholly the fault of the rail
road.
The railroads have shown a disposition
to be willing to proceed in the elimina
ton work to reasonable degree. The
people should also be reasonable and not
be oppressive IN their exaetions. The
roads should not be forced into unnat-
ural expenditures along this line. For
all of which reason this recommendation
of the appointees of Governor Fletcher
should receive careful consideration and
eventually become reflected in our laws.

LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.

The Larger Are More Profitable In
Proportion to Dollars Invested.
Judson @. Welliver contributes an
article to Farm and Fireside con-
tending that large farms are more
profitable than small ones and sup
porting his contention with facts and
figures summarized from government
report as follows:
In the first place. the report seems
to have discovered that most of the
profit is made by the landlord, and that
chiefly out of the increase In land
values. The farmer gets poor wages
for his work. In a startlingiy large
proportion Of the cases he gets no
wages at all after allowance is made
for interest on investment and cost of
help. The man on the small farm
makes less wages than the man on the
bigger farm because 1t costs more for
what the efficiency experts might call
overhead operating costs on small
than on a large farm. If you don't
own enough land to make good
sized economic farming unit rent some
and farm it along with What you own.
If you can't get it sell what you have
and go where you can buy enough or
rent enough to make the proper unit.
The department figures show that
as the size of the farm increases the
proportion of it actually raising crops
increases and the number of horses
and amount of machinery required per
acre to farm it decreases. Likewise
until the farm gets big enough to make
it possible to handle labor most eff
ciently-that is, to have something for
all the hands to be doing all the time
that is worth while-the proportOnate
labor cost is too large on the small
farm. That may be tough on the In
tensive experts, but It's a fact they
can't get around The small farm must
have the various implements, but it
doesn't do as much work per dollar Of
cost that it represents as the bigger
farm.
The survey which brought out these
and many more important facts in
cluded 277 farms in Indiana, 1856 In
Illinois and 227 in lava. In each
state rather more than half were oper-
ated by the owners and the rest by
tenants.

Bell Telephone
Bulletins


and in that case "the line is busy"
If you subscribe to "duplex" or
party line telephone service do not
answer your telephone until the
bell stops ringing. If you remove
the receiver off the hook while the
bell is ringing it opens a circuit
and the bell on the other telephone
on your line also rings. This is
one of the reasons why "duplex"
telephones sometimes ring when
the other party is wanted.
If "duplex" subscribers would
be careful not to remove the re-
ceiver while the bell is ringing a
cause of annoyance, over which we
have no control, would be re-
moved.

NANCE IN HOGS.

Hogs are subject to a variety of skin
diseases. Two of these, although quite
different, are both known as mango.
Pitch mango is not u true mango,
but rather an eczema and affects hogs
that are not in vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur
roundings Light skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others.
The skin Is at first red and perhaps
swollen. Small red spots appear and
subsequently change to blisters which
dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed Is simple
cleanliness and the sort of feed that
will make the hog healthy and vigor-
GUS. 1t usually means a complete
change of surroundings and plenty Of
good food.
Hogs are subject also to true mango.
This is caused by a minute animal
parasite which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe Inflammation and itching. This
form Of mango is especially difficult to
treat because of the burrowing habit
Of the parasite.-M. 81. Reynolds, Vet
