Rooster Day.

Saturday. May %, will be known
throughout the State of Kentucky and
Tennessee as Rooster Day" On this
day the members of the Southern Poul-
try 81 Egg Shippers Association will buy
all the old roosters offered to them, pay
ing the same price as they are paying
for hens on that day. The object in
buying old roosters at price that will
net the produce dealers loss of sc to sc
pound. is to have the farmers produce
fertile eggs during the hot summer
months.
In order for the farmers to secure the
extreme price for old roosterS on "Roos-
ter Day." Saturday, May %, it will be
necessary for them to carry out the fol-
lowing agreement with the produce
dealars: The farmer on Rooster Day"
must bring to the produce dealer every
old rooster he has on his premises and
must sign an agreement with the pro-
duce dealer not TO allow an old rooster
on his premises or to mingle with his
flock of hens from May % until October
l, 1914
During the hot summer months thous-
andS upon thousands of dollars worth of
eggs are spoiled by the simple that they
are fertile and commence Matching with
in "a hours after being laid. This entire
loss can be practically eliminated if the
farmers will dispose of their old Ioosters
and produce infertie eggs during the
hot months.
Without any question of doubt a hen
will lay just as many, or more eggs,
without rooster in a flock than she
will with him. The Matching season is
over in the month Of May, so why should
a'farmer keep an old rooster on his place
and feed him for several months at
dead loss, and in addition TO that, have
all the eggs fertilized so that they will
spoil quickly, and consequently cause
the eggs to be handled at a low price,
when he can get rid of feeding the old
rooster and produce infertile eggs that
will keep reasonable length of time.
The produce dealers in the States OF
Kentucky and Tennessee find it almost
impossible TO sell eggs during the hot
summer months, for the simple reason
that most of the eggs are fertile and
spoil before they reach the consumer.
Tho Ia roo EaStarn CitinS rofuSa IN buv
eggs from these States during the sum-
mer months, as the quality is inferior.
The quality can be made equal to that
of any State in the Union if the farmers
will only dispose of their roosters and
propuce infertile eggs. Every farmer
should be interested in increasing the
price of his product, and he can easily
do it if he will sell, kill or confine his
old roosters after Rooster Day." May
%, 1915.
The young roosters that are hatched
this Spring will be large enough for ser
vice before the next Matching season, so
it is an easy matter to replace the old
roosters without additional expense TO
the farmer.
Sell the old roosters on Rooster Day"
when you can get more than twice his
actual value, and also get the benefit of
the increased price Of summer eggs,
owing TO their quality being better than
heretofore.

MANY RAILROAD MEN
 HERE FOR HEARING
Opening Session of Three Gent Fare Case Before Corporation Comris-
 sion This Morning

With over forty railroad officials, at representing every railroad operating in Arizona, the three-cent fare hearing which opens. this morning before the corporation commission bids fair to De one of the most important in the his tory of the state. The sessions will be held in the supreme court chamber in the capitol, beginning at 10 o'clock. From the amount of matter to be sub mitted to the commission, it is prob able that the hearing will continue for ten days or longer
 The three-cent fare matter has been hanging fire for some time. First the state legislature passed law fixing passenger fares in Arizona at three cents miie The law was declared feet, and after it had been remedie,i was taken by the railroads into the ninth district United States court. The court passed on the law as it related to the constitution of the United States but rendered no decision as to it's ie- gality under the state constitution. Then the supreme court rendered a .lc- cision in another case which gave full power of regulation of all corpora tions to the commission. The railroads are now to submit evidence to the com mission and to show reasons, if any, why the three cent fare order should not be issued
 The valuations. operating expenses freight and passenger earnings, both in 'ntraState and interstate traffic are among the matters to be represented bv the railroads before the commission The case of each railroad will be talk en up separately. It is stated that a 'arge amount of the objection on the part of the railroads is based on the fact that the enforcement of three tent fare law in Arizona would ma terially affect rates from California to eastern points. and that all through rates would be lowered were the order to go into effect. The progress of the hearing will be watched with consid erable interest throughout the state and the entire southwest.

WHO WILL GET THE SUBSIDY?

Professor Emory Johnson, the "ex- pert" on the subject of the tonnage which is likely to use the Panama canal. who has given considerable study to al the problems presented by it, testified before the senate committee that the annual cost of operation of the canal would be S29,- 250,0OO. The figures he claims were furnished by Colonel GOethals
 Then he gave his estimate of the amount of tonnage which would use the canal during the first year of its operations. This he placed at 10, 500,000 tons, of which 100000 tons would be coastwise shipping. On these figures he based his argument of the economic necessity of i'm posing tolls upon domestic com merce, in order to meet the oper- ating expenses of the canal
 Now the tolls as actually fixed for vessels in the foreign trade are s1.20 per ton. This would bring the entire income of the canal, even if tolls are charged upon coastwise "A'PPiio' up lo @l-,oVU,VpD, Oi neal ly S17,000,000 less than the cost of operation. If American ships in the coastwise trade are exempt, the def icit will be S1,200,000 more.
 In the view of these figures, who gets the subside? The federal treas ury will pay $11,40OO00 more in op- erating the canal for the benefit of foreign shipping than it receives as tells from that foreign shipping. In other words, according to the the ories Of those who claim that a freedom from tolls would operate as subsidy to the coastwise shipping | the government of the United States will subsidize foreign shipping to the amount of $11,400,000 annually. for il will be performing services for thar | foreign shipping which will cost i | this much more than the foreigr | ships pay for the service.
 | In other words, congress is per
 fectly willing to subsidize shippin. under a foreign flag, carrying tn,
 products of British Columbia t,
 eastern markets at lower pric, than the similar goods manufacture
 in this state can be carried, but i
 refuses to extend any favors to do
 mestic shipping This is altruisn gone mad. - Seattle st-Intelli gencer
