Transportation Problem.

The transportation problem is an ex.
ceedingly serious and pressing one In this
country. There has from time to time
OF late been reason to fear that our rail-
roads would not much longer be able TO
cope with II successfully as at present
equipped and co-ordinated. I suggest
that II would be wise to provide for a
commission OF inquiry to ascertain by a
thorough canvass OF the whole question
whether our laws as at present framed
and administered are as serviceable as
they might be in the solution OF the prob
lem. II is obviously a problem that lies
at the very foundation OF our efficiency
as a people. Such an inquiry ought to
draw out every circumstance and opinion
worth considering and we need TO know
all sides Of the matter II we mean to
do anything in the field OF federal legisla-
ton.
For what we are seeking now, what in
my mind is the single thought OF this
message. is national efficiency and se.,
curity. We serve a great nation. We
should serve It In the spirit OF its peculiar
genius. 1t is the genius OF common men
for self-government, industry, Justice. lib
erty and peace. We should see to II that
Il lacks no instrument. no facility or vigor
of law, TO make II sufficient to play It's
part with energy, safety, and assured
success In this we are no partisans but
heralds and prophets of a new age.

 The amount of grain consumed by a
 hen Is of course a vital and interest ing problem to all poultrymen. It has
 been pointed out in these columns that the records at the laying contest show that an average hen will eat less than ninety pounds of feed In the course of a year. With one or two of the breeds in the competition correlation tables
 have been worked out which seem to indicate that there is no apparent re- |lationShip between the amount of
 grain pen consumes and the number of eggs they lay On the other hand there appears to be a very high cor relation between the amount of mash consumed by the pen and the number of eggs produced. Thus the pens that consumed the. largest amount Of mash laid the greatest number of eggs. If the mash were only as palatabfe then the feeding of grain would be a very simple matter. It happens however, that hens in general are fonder of hard grain and so it is necessary for a feeder, to be careful on this account. amount of grain as to induce the hens to consume nearly or quite as much mash as they do of grain.

LACK OF MOISTURE SERIOUS
Only 80 Per Cent of Normal Amount Efforts Should Be Made to Con- servo This.

Official published figures show. that there is only about 80 per cent. of the normal amount of water in the soil so far this season, and present indications are that the moisture situation for the coming season will be extremely seri- ous. Thus 1t behooves everyone to make every effort that Is possible to conserve the moisture that is in the soil already. There are hundreds of acres of land in this country that were plowed last fall which have not been touched with the harrow yet.
 This means that there are tons and tons of water being lost by evapora- tion. The only way to conserve this moisture Is by forming, surface mulch by narrowing and cultivating. This should be done immediately. All of our corn and potato land which has not been plowed should likewise be treated with the blow and harrow so as to prevent further corporations. When we realize that each ton of dry matter produced from the corn crop requires 800 tons of water, there will be needed tremendous amount of moisture to produce our large crops.
