 THEY'RE LOSING MONEY ON ROUTES

x fsirge number of the jitneymen wiao attended the meeting of the Association at 3oS Fairfield avenue last night reported that they have ing of the buses caused by the or dinance which was passed by the Aldermen two weeks ago.
 It is believed that some of the buses which came to Bridgeport to help out during the Trolley Com they are unable to make both ends meet under the new arrangements.
 An official of the Bus Association today admitted that some of the jft- ney men are not making expenses and says that condition is caused buses in the city to handle the traf- fife since the new routing and also because the travelling public have not as yet become acquainted with the new routes and do not know where to go to get the buses.
 It is expected that the situation will become better for the jitneymen gradually as the public become ac- customed to the new routes and it is also expected that the Aldermen at ordinance so that the jitneys can op- crate on paying basis.
 The trolley cars are also suffering { from want of patronage and it is no unusual sight to see car after car pass along the main streets with no passengers or only two or three. ! The conductors on the trolleys say that they are not taking half the amount on the different runs that they did before the Company stop ped its service, July 25 and some of them believe that it is only a ques- 1eys will again stop and they will be out of job.

WINTER CARE OF LIVESTOCK
Poor Economy to Turn Out Stock to
Rustic for Itself"

The most critical season of the
year for livestock is at hand During
December, January and part of
February farm animals suffer
most. 1t is the coolest part of the
year. Feed is least plentiful, certain
kinds of feeds. Pasture crops, upon
which many animals subsist during
the summer months, are no longer
sufficient to maintain grazing stock
without being supplemented by other
feeds. OF course some animals live
thru the winter upon nothing but
pickings from the woods and pas
lures; but that is not the best way.
1t is poor economy to neglect live
stock during these winter months. to
leave them to rustic for themselves.
SO neglected and left to themselves
they will require more time and feed
next spring to get beck to their nor
mai health and growth. Professor
M. Scott of the Florida Experiment
Station says that livestock left to
themselves. thru the winter will be-
come stunted and can never regain
health and vigor thus lost. 1t is
economy to help livestock thru the
winter. Feed used in this way is
money well invested.
