The public also realizes to greater
extent than ever before that any un-
reasonable regulation and any at
tacks on the railways are hurtful to
the general welfare of the country as
well as hurtful to the railways.
A bad point is the existence Of
prices for material that are very,
very much more than a year ago, and
the necessity of paying very much
higher wages than year ago, with
no corresponding increase in the unit
price of what the railways have to
seli--freight and passenger service.
This condition is narrowing down
the margin between income and
outgo, and is making it more and
more difficult for the railways to 60
on with the necessary work Of add
ing to their facilities. This is un-
fortunate, because the time of max
ing improvements to the facilities is
vital to the welfare of the whole
country.

BIZ q stcF corrcspomdcnl


NEW YORK. January l9-The predic-
ton that the issue Of Philadelphia would be-
come vital factor in the New Jersey
freight rate case has been fulfilled During
the last two days the Philadelphia freight
rates and the merits on which their diff
ferential over the New York zone Is based
have been the big subject Of the testimony
presented before Special Examiner La Roe,
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The philadelphia thunder" Is one of the
chief weapons employed By the railroads
in defending the present rates governing
New York and the northern part OF New
Jersey.
The vigorous manner in which william
S Kallman, rate expert and traffic OF
fetal OF the New York Central Railroad
championed the Philadelphia cause was
dubbed inconsistent with the former attl-
tude of that railroad by George L. Record
counsel for tho New Jersey cities seeking
to obtain reduction in freight rates over
New York that would place them on the
same basis as Philadelphia.
ATTACKS JERSEY PLEA
Mr.. Kallman. who has been termed the
star witness for the railroads conducted
systematic and direct attack on the COM
plalnts and demands of the New Jersey rae
tion. During the course of his testimony
he said that the rights OF Philadelphia and
Baltimore to have differentials In freight
rates over New York and the surrounding
terltoy included in the zone was upheld on
three different occasions by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and by the common
consent OF the carriers or railroads.
without directly assailing the Philadel-
phia cause, Mr.. Record, by carefully dl-
rected series Of cross-eNamination questions.
made Mr. Kallman admit that the NeW
York Central Railroad was one of several
lines that sought TO have the dlherentials
OF Philadelphia and Baltimore abolished
during a hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission in 1905
Mr. Kalman was asked to tell why 'hlla-
delphia and Baltomore we're granted differ
entails and he replied that they were es-
tablished primarily on the grounds OF COM
petition.
This brought return-fre from the New
Jersey counsel, who said Mr.. Kallman's
statement was not in accord with the views
expressed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on this point.
1t was Mr. Records opinion that the
economical and adequate facilities in
handling freight at these two cities We're

\ GOOD RATION FOR FATTENING
STEERS.
\. j, E., Fort Valley, ia. writes: ! am

tDttcnsecd hulls at SI6 per ton with cotton
seed meal at S45 a ton. Also how do velvet
beans compare with corn ana hulls?
Personally we would much prefer TO
purchase corn in the shuck at $1.25 per
bushel to use for fatteuing beef cat
tie rather than hulls at SIC per ton
Cottonseed hulls, as you probably know
form 4 fairly good roughage for live
stock and particularly Eliminating ami
mails. They are, however, lower in pro-
Jein and carbohydrates than corn
shucks, though they contain a little
more fat. Corn of itself, of course, is
much richer in digestible nutrients than
huns. We presume that the corn in
the shuck would cost you about twice as
much per ton as the hulls. Neverthe-
less, we think it would be worth more
than twice as much for the purpose you
have III mind. Naturally we would ad-
wise the feeding of corn. cob and shuck
meal along with a suitable roughage
ration, which, for the most economical
and satisfactory purposes, should con-
sist of silage. In addition you should
feed about one-third to one-half cotton
seed meal along with your ration of
corn, cob and shuck meal. In the
earlier stages of the feeding period feed
two-thirds cottonseed meal to one-third
corn, cob and shuck meal AS the
feeding period progresses reverse the
proportion Of concentrates. Velvet beans
combine very we'll with corn in the pro-
portion of half and half as a feed for
beef cattle. As with cottonseed meal,
feed more beans in the earlier stages
of the fattening period than in the lat
ter stages. We are inclined to think
that velvet beans would be worth from
one-half to two thirds IS much as cot
tonseed meal of a standard grade for
feeding purposes OF course, you un-
derstand that hulls ground with the
beans are not as rich in nutrients as
when the beans are ground alone. We
had very good results here last year
from feeding beans to certain classes
of live stock. In fact, they made
better showing than they are often
credited with. On the other hand, we
are hardly in position yet, in view of
the experiments and observation we have
made, to say that they will replace cot
tonseed meal on an equal basis. We
expect to conduct some more investi-
cations along this line and hope to have
more definite data to offer the public
another year. In the meantime we be-

as the data at hand warrants.
CUTTING AND SHOCKING CORN IS
PRACTICABLE.
w. l.. w, Toccoa, Ga, writes: I have
been trying TO get some of the farmers in
the field and shred it, but they say the
grain is not good when handled this way.
They also seem to think there is no value
to the stover, some farmers claim that stock
will eat it. | would like your advice along
this line.
There is no reason why corn should
not be cut and shredded in the manner
you have Indicated 1t is an advantage
to the farmer to handle his crop in this
manner. About so per cent of the food
value is in the ear and about 40 per
cent in the stalk and slower. Hence, the
stalks and slower are worth saving.
Particularly when roughage is not over
abundant and haY is high priced and in
great demand We have made prac-
tice the last ten years of cutting our
corn stalks down to the ground. We
have used the corn stalks after the ears
were snapped off as ,the supplemental
ration for our work stock. 1t is nearly
equal in feeding value to a fair crop Of
Timothy hay and especially if it is
slightly moistened with water contain
ing a little salt and softened, and the
dust laid work stock will eat il with
avidity and satisfaction. AS a matter
of fact if ali of the corn stalks in
the state were properly harvested and
handled. it would eliminate our neces-
sity of ever buying any western grown
hay and all will agree. L am sure, that
this would be the most desirable end to
attain.
