Washington, February 1.-(Special.J The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad is Ion the carpet" before the interstate commerce commission.
 It is one of the railroads concerned by the tentative railroad valuation re- rorts issued by the commissions divi- sion of valuation.
 The railroad is represented by W. G. Brantley. The interests of the state of Alabama are being cared for by Will liam l.. Martin, attorney general ot that state.
 MT. Brant1ey has filed a motion with the commission that all proceedings be suspended until the commission could secure tentative valuation which would comply with the valua- ton act He contended that the re- ports so far issued do not comply with the act in "any substantial particular on the ground that they make no find ing of the original cost to date" nor of the other values or clements of value" and that they do not even pur- port to ascertain the value of railroad properties as a whole
 This position was practically held untenable by the commission. An inn portant development was that the val uation of railroad property may not result in a determination of the value of railroad but merely in the col lation of facts from which valuation may be ascertained. The commission stated that its decision to the above effect was merely tentative and that arguments would be heard.

SAGE ADVICE FOR PARENTS.

Your child is putty in your hands.
You possess the skill of a sculptor to
make him what you will. You can
mold him into. a statue of perfect man
hood or you can. by neglect. let other
influences mold him into an image Of
delinquency.
The easiest way for parents is not
the best way for children. Disobedf-
ence j sthe direct result of the lack of
discipline induced the %spineless atti-
tude of parents.
Je1lyfsh methods of training inevi-
tably will produce je1lyfish results.
Whether poor training or want of
training results from parental indff-
ference, ignorance, or sentimental af-
lection which rebels at stern correct
iona1 measures, the effect on child is
always the same. Greater rigidity OF
parental backbone will produce great
er obedience in children. which is the
basis of all character building.-Edwin

LAYING HENS REQUIRE
NELL-BALANCED RATION,

Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed a balanced ra-
ton" Special attention has been CIV
en- to balanced rations for dairy COWS.
By this is meant that one food CON
stituent should not be fed in excess,
while another is lacking for the up
keep of the animals body. The pro-
tein must be in a certain proportion
to the sugars, starches and fat in the
food. Now the hen comes in for heT
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro
duced by hens fed a well-balanced "a
ton as by those given only corn, wheat
and oats in an experiment conducted
b ythe Ohio Experiment Station. The
balanced ration consisted of three
parts by weight Of cOrn and one part

FOX FARMING.

Silver foxes a few years ago brought
as high as SIS 900 a pair in the open
market. The enormous prices o6
tanned at that time were due largely
to speculative operations, according to
a new publication of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and ranch
bred silver foxes have recently been
advertised for sale at from $500 to
$1,000 a pair. With q comparatively
large number OF silver foxes in demes-
tication, with a cleare understanding
of their successful management. and
with a return OF moderate prices for
breeders, a steady. healthy and gen
eral development of silver fox farm
ing is predicted. How and where fox
farming may be undertaken with the
promise of any degree of success is
fully discussed in the publication men
toned, Farmers, Bulletin 795, THE
Domestfcated Silver Fox" which may
be had on application to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
