Railroad Commission Rules in Favor
of Farmers Warehouse Co.

A number of business men and some
of our city officials attended hearing
before the railroad rate commission in
Madison, Monday, Feb. IL. 1t seems
that certain business interests of the
city have influenced the superintendent
of the C. M. & st. p. Railway Co. to
refuse car service to the coal sheds of
the Edgerton Farmers Warehouse Co.
The result of the hearing was that an
order was issued compelling the Rail-
way Co. to spot all cars to the Farm
ers Co. in the future. While it can
readily be seen that business men may
try to stifie competition, it seems
strange that our city officials would
lend their influence to such a scheme
and attempt to discourage any new en-
terprise that may be established here.

How to Name Your Farm.

A Jefferson county man recently re-
ceived copyright on farm name list
containing over 5000 farm, ranch and
cottage names. The book contains a
glossary of foundation words by the
aid of which any farmer who desires
may originate dozen different names
of his own, suitable for his farm.
Very few of the 5,012 names in the
list are now in use. They were gath
cred or originated by H. L. Hoard.
There is strong demand, among
dairy farmers especially, for suitable
farm name that can be used on letter
heads, envelopes and other printing. A
farm name should contain at least three
and not more than four words.
Anyone may secure one of these lists
by sending Is cents to the editor Of this
paper or to Hoard's Dairyman, Fort
Atkinson, Wis.
