from a half-barrel by attaching wheels
and a spray pump and nozzle. two men
can spray forty cows in five minutes.

BIG EGG LOSS PREvENTABLE
Consumer Compelled 70 Pay Higher
Price for That Portion Which
Finally Reaches Him.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
In marketing poultry and eggs there
II an enormous preventable loss in
quality and value between the protiuc.
er and the consumer. 1t has been
conservatively estimated that this loss
amounts annually to $75.OOO.OOO in
poultry and $4,000. 900 in eggs. While
this loss falls upon all who handle
poultry and eggs 1t is borne chiefly by
the producers and the consumers. The
producers loss. caused b. a decrease
in price. under present conditions rep
resents that due to spoilage or poor
quality. The consumers loss Is due
to a curtailed supply because Of the
pounds Of poultry and dozens Of eggs
that are either Of poor quality or a
total loss: hence the CONSUMER has to
pay higher price for that portion
which finally reaches him.

EnIjsfing for Railway Service
iFrom The New York Tribune.l

The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, by a vote OF "a TO 4, the
majority, including men of both par
ties and different social views, has put
into the railroad bill a provision that
railway employees must not strike when
striking would interfere with interstate
commerce.
The need Of such a safeguard has
been brought home to the public with
great force by recent events. The
country has stood on the raw rim OF
disaster. The provision will be sup
ported by an overwhelming public
sentiment. and, whatever their present
first thoughts or existing opinions, its
justice. we believe, will be ultimately
conceded by railway workers. An un-
Interrupted railway service is a social
necessity. Concerted action to stop the
flow Of goods does not differ in princi-
pie from concerted action TO stop the
flow OF water essential TO the lives Of
urban residents. As the railroad own
ers would not be permitted TO lock up
the railroads. so no other set Of men
may be allowed TO do so.
A man may elect as TO whether rail-
way employment is sufficiently attrac-
tive in other respects to outweigh the
! limits placed on his liberty. But, hay-
ing enlisted, he may not desert under
circumstances that amount to mutiny.
Every reasonable device should be
adopted 10 secure a consideration and
settlement OF grievances. Railway men
are bone OF our bone and flesh OF our
flesh, and they are TO be treated with
the liberality their merits deserve, but
they may not take the country by the
throat.
Almost as important is the provision,
also indorsed in non-partisan division,
that the owners Of railway property
shall be allowed 5A per cent. on the
true value Of their investment, But
conditions are abnormal, and Congress
legislates for the future. If insured
against future loss, railway owners
will perhaps not deeply complain Of a
51s per cent. return.
