CUT COMPETING TRAINS
Elimination by Rival Lines to Reduce
Operating Expenses.

SHIPMENTS OF STABLE MANURE

If any of the truck growers as- sociations or individual farmers wish to have stable manure shipped in in car-lots, they can get full information regarding same by applying to the under signed.
 We have been to St. Louis and made thorough investigation of the fertilizer situation, and we find. that although there is an abundance of manure. the de- mand is so great orders cannot be filled promptly. It requires from three to five weeks to get orders filled. Therefore, those desiring to have manure shipped in before the first of next year. shouli get busy and place their orders.
 The price at St Louis is $15. % for loading forty-ton capacity car and $21 % for loading a six ty-ton capacity car.
 The freight rate from St Louis to Prescott is $1. 20 per ton. and $500 per car will be charged from Prescott to points on the P. X N. w. At these figures a
