stor;no Manvres.

Since 1t is often inpracticable to
haul manure to the field daily, various
kinds OF storage are used to control
the losses from teaching and fermenta-
tion which seriously affect not only the
nitrogen but the phosphorus and po-
tassium as well. The following are the
important ones: Deep stalls. compost
ing. manure pits and covered yards.
In the mind Of the writer, the best
method seems the most practical. es-
pecially when any considerable amount
Of manure Is made. The covered shed
protects the manure from the rain,
thus preventing the alternate wetting
and drying which cause destructive
fermentation. The cattle and hogs
tramping over 1t make 1t compact and
moist to the right degrae Thus the
shed serves not only to protect the
manure from teaching and fermentfng.
but also the stock from the storms
and provides "a dry storage place for
straw above. The loss of plant food
in this method Is small, especially II
the shed has a cement floor.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Horse receipts

past year, The run this week viii be
the smallest of the year. 1t is usual
for the, last week of the year to have
small run, but this week 1t is smaller
than several years past. The light run
this week was needed, as the slack de-
mand made it hard to move even the
light supply.
There is hardly any demand for any
grade of horses at present and traders
do not look for any improvement until
after the new year. The small num-
Der Of army horses received during the

FEWER MILES CONSTRUCTS
THAN IN ANY YEAR
SINCE 1864.
MORE MILES OF ROADS
in RECEIVERS HANDS
Les. Than 1000 Miles Of Road cen-
structed During Past Year-Thirty-
Eight Thousand Miles in Charge Of
Receivers- Increase in Number Of
Cars and Locomotives Ordered.

Chicago, Dec. 3f.-"Fewer miles OF
railroad were built in the United States
during 1915 than in any other year
since 1864 and more miles of railroad
were in receivers hands during the
year that ever before. according to
railway statistics compiled from official
sources by the Railway Age Gazette.
There have been only three other years
since lS4s in which the increase in
railway mileage was less than 1000
miles, and those were the civil war
years OF 1851, 1862 and 1864.
In 1915, the total miles of new rail-
road constructed in the United States
were 933 as compared with 1882 in 1914
and sou In 1919. There was also
reduction in the second trackage built.
The largest mileage of new road In
one state was built in Pennsylvania,
which constructed ninety miles. Ore
gon was second with eighty three
miles and Washington third with sew
enty- one miles Eleven statee built no
new road at all. Canadian roads built
TlS miles OF new first track as COM
pared with 1878 in 1911. white IN Max
leo 36.5 miles were built as against
none recorded for 1914.
According to the statistics quoted.
receivers now mold and operate 1861
miles of railroad with total funded
debt Of 81. 6J7 ,S95.500 and total cap.
itai stock of STAT ,604, sol. The roads In
the hands of receivers represent nearly
a sixth of the total mileage and capi-
talizatior of the railroads OF the United
States. On Oct 1. there were $1,000
miles of railroads in the hands of re-
ceivers. the greatest ever recorded.
Since then. the receiyership of the Wa
bash, 2,515 miles. has been terminated
and several smaller roads have been
sold under foreclosure. The mileage
now under receivership was exceeded
in 1894. when the total was 40.sls on
June 30. Roads having total mileage
OF eo.1 and a capitalization OF $1,070.-
S0s,62s went into receivership during
the calendar year 1915. the greatest
mileage to go into bankruptcy since
1893.
lncrsass in Equipment
Statistics on the number OF new cars
and locomotives ordered during 1915
show that there was an increase over
1914. but was smaller than any other
year in recent times. except 1908. The
new freight cars ordered in 1915
totalled 1o7,7s6 as compared with s0.-
2s4 in 1914 and 14S.732 in 1913 New
passenger cars numbered 3,o92. as
against 2,eo2 In 1914 and 3,173 in 1919
Locomotives ordered during these three
years numbered 1878, 1.265 and s,4s7
respectively. The bulk OF orders this
year was placed during the last three
months. and Include 3G2 cars ordered
by the Pullman company for its own
use, and 1922 freight cars and $50
locomotives ordered by foreign coun-
tries.
The miles of railroad operated under
block signal systems increased 9.s77
miles during 1915 to a total Of $1,000.
while the automatic signal mileage in
creased 1.471 miles to a total Of 81, $50.

requisite. it will. Of course. be neces-

Other plans have been suggested, in.
Guiding the establishment of a bureau
to deal with unemployment. The
plan favored by Secretary Of Labor
wilson is to clotAe his department
with authority to take hold of unem-
ployment and try to find jobs for the
unemployed.
This plan. from present Indications,
will meet with the support OF the house
labor committee, though this can not
be said with certainty, as 1t has not
yet taken Ii UP.
Generally speaking, the members Of
the house labor committee are favor
able to legislation which will solve the
unemployment problem, or make q be-
ginning at its solution. But there is
much to learn about It and that is a
reason why there is strong sentiment
for giving the Secretary OF Labor a
good deal Of latitude in order that he
may evolve an organization which
will actually find men Jobs when they,
are out Of work.
It is probable the house labor com
mittee. which has various important
bills before 1t, will have hearings later
on Of persons who have given thought
to unemployment. Secretary Wilson
himself has had to make study Of
/ 1t. It will be recalled that at the time

MOVIE films AS BOOSTER
OF electrical PROSPERITY

"Movie" films Of keen interest to the
throngs passing up and down Market
street this evening and tomorrow
evening will be shown on the screen
in front Of the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company offices at
No. 6O3 Market street The pictures
will be OF the popular order which all
can enjoy.
The idea in showing these pictures
is to draw attention to the local OBJ
servance OF electrical Prosperity
Week" The pictures earlier in the
week related to methods and pro
cesses in the manufacture OF various
electrical devices and showed some
of these devices in use. II is explained
that the thought in bringing the popu-
lar pictures was merely to put little
