make it sit up and take notice of Or
ders issued on live railroad"
Whereupon, the commission has de-
cided that the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad is defunct and cannot
be expected to obey orders issued by
the railroad commission, predecessor
of the utilities board of 1914.
The Florence and Cripple Creek
railroad committed corporate hara-
kiri recently rather than comply with
an order of the commission to rebuild
certain portions of it's lines 1t did
this by surrendering it's charter, dis
posing of its right of way and tearing
up its tracks, selling the ties for fire
wood and the rails for junk.

HUMAN NATURE PROVES UP.
Pennsy Super Disregards Discipline
BuIletin-Uses Honor List.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1S.-Last year
the superintendent of one division of
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad decided to
try out a new idea. He believed that
instead of posting discipline bulletin
each notwithstanding what rules had
been broken and what suspensions
were imposed upon delinquent en-
ployees-better progress would be
made by reversing the process and
creating an honor list, posting the
name of every man whose service had
been especially meritorious.
He put this belief to a practical and
thorough test. Six months of the
present year show the following re-
suits:
Sixty-two per cent decrease in cases
requiring discipline.
Seventy-one per cent decrease in to-
tai days suspension employees
Seventy-two per cent decrease in
wage loss to men through suspensions
Superintendent Keiser of the Cone
maugh division of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad is the originator of the plan.

Child Travels SAFELY to Alaska.

How safely a child can travel was
illustrated in the case of a girl IL
years old, the daughter of Bertha
Knatvold Mellett well-known
writer, who starting from Washington,
D. c., reached Nome, Alaska, on a visit
to her father in perfect safety. The
little girl, with $40 IN her pocket, left
Washington for New York city; from
New York city she reached Montreal.
Then she placed herself in charge of
the officials of the Canadian Pacific
train going to Vancouver. These Of
ficials saw to it that she was comfort
able; that she got her meals on the
car and that her bit of money went
as far as possible. Everything she
spent on the trip was put down in
figures, and when her grandmother
met her at Vancouver there was a
solemn audit of the account, which
showed that the child, out of her $40,
had about S25 left.

SEA CLAIMS MORE VICTIMS.
Twice as Many Fatalities on Steam
ships Than on Railroads.


ships Than on Railroads.
Accidents on railroads of the Unit
ed States are too numerous. But Z
suggestion of comparison of fatalities
on land and sea is suggested by the
recent Chicago river horror where
more than "a thousand persons were
drowned when the steamer Eastland
turned turtle. Figures show that new
er in the history of railroads did they
kill that many passengers in a year.
in 1906 American steamships car
RED approximately, $50, 1885, pas
sengers and killed 323 of them. The
railroads carried 797, 946,116 passen-
gers and killed $50. making a COM
parison of one fatality out of every
1.O22.OOO passengers for the steam
ship lines and one fatality out of every
2,222,0O0 for the railroads.
In 1914 the steamships carried
318,094,317 passengers and killed 105
of them. The same year the railroads
carried 1858, 13S,718 passengers and
killed 265. The 1914 figures show
one fatality for every 3,O29,0OO for
the steamships and one fatality out
of every 3,9S7.0OO railroad passengers.
So far during the year of 1915 the
railroads have proven safer than ocean
travel.
The foregoing figures apply only to
disasters to steamships and should be
understood to apply only to train ac-
cidentS'' on railroads.

FALL LETTERS AND

Feed Sow According to size of Litter 10 Avoid Milk Fever-Skim Milk and Meat Meal For Pigs.

In order to raise two filters of pigs year, the second litter should be far roWed In August and September, so that the little pigs can make good gains before cold weather sets in and the sows will be in good condition to breed again in October and Noyem- ber
 special Attention to Feeding.
 special attention should be given the SOW at Narrowing time to keep her system as cool as possible. Where they do not have access to good pas ture 1t Is advisable to give them a slop feed consisting largely of shorts three or four days before Narrowing.
 The first few days after Narrowing, the SOW should be fed according to the size of her litter, using extra pre- caution where litter is very small, as too much feed will cause a feverish condition of the udder, which Is liable to make the pigs SCOUT or give the SOW milk fever. The feed should not be mixed up in larger amounts than can be fed out in one day, so as to keep it from sour1ng Sour feed when Ted to either the sows or pigs. will cause SCOUTS. Shell corn is a good feed to put in a creep to start the lit- tie pigs to eating while they are still sucking. After weaning do not feed too much corn.
 Ration For Grou,;,a0 Dice
 The following is a good ration for growing pigs: Corn, 45 per cent shorts, rice polish or rice bran, 4B per cent; and meat meal, tankage or oil meal, 10 per cent. If skim milk Is available 1t can be fed instead of the meat meal, etc, feeding two and one-half pounds of milk for each pound of grain fed
 After the pigs are from three to i've months old, the corn can be gradually increased to 60 or 80 per cent of the ration, the shorts and tankage being correspondingly decreased. A good fall pasture will decrease the cost of production, but where pastures are not handy, small amounts of alfalfa or clover hay can be fed to advantage.- H. A.

METHODIST MEETING


 Our meeting at the Methodist Church has been going on for almost two weeks. We have had a very good crowd at most all the services, but not near as large as we should have had at some of them. Our afternoon congregations have been real small, compared with the num- Der of Christian people We have in this town.
 We have had some to' join the Church, which we were glad in- deed to receive, and a number have professed religion, which is a good proof to us that prayer has been answered, and that Christ still stands ready to help those who are not able to help themselves.
 Let us, who have been in the Masters work for some time, do all in our power to help those who have just enlisted in that great cause, and may their faith grow stronger and the way brighter each day they live for Christ.
 Rev Johnston has preached some good, strong, gospel ser mons, and many good things have been said about them. We are glad that his sermons have been blessed of God, and used in causing men, women, boys and girls to turn from their sins and accept Christ as their Lord and Master. May God bless him and give him many souls for his hire as he continues to preach His word.
 The meeting will close at our Sunday night service, and we would be glad for you to be there. Come and bring your friends and let us close with a great service Tn honor of our Master who has
