PUBLIC APATHETIC IN
REGARD TO INCREASE
OF EXPRESS RATES

The hearing by the state pubic
service commission on the proposed
increase in state rates of the Amer
lean Express company was had in
the statehouse last Friday.
A. B. Roehl of San Francisco. gen
|eral attorney of the American Ex-
press company. and M. X. Lockwood.
superintendent of transportation and
traffic with headquarters in San
Francisco, appeared before the COM
mission in behalf of their company.
They asked the commission to au-
throzie 12h per cent increase
which was authorized by the inter-
state commerce commission to go
into effect September l. Mr.. Roehl
stated that 2S states in the Union
had already authorized the increase.
1t was expected that a large num-
Der of shippers would be present to
make complaint against the proposed
increase but not shipper or repre-
sentative of shipping firm was pres
ent to contest the rate increase. One
letter concerning the matter was re-
ceived by the public service commits
sion from a shipper in which he com
planned against the increase.
The American Express company
requested acquiescence of the state
commission in the order Of the inter-
state commerce commission. The
matter was taken under advisement
by the state public service commits
sioners

GUINEA FOWLS BREED BEST
WHEN ALLOWED FREE RANGE

Guineas are kept in the best breed
ing condition upon free range. They
may be confined. however, II neccs-
sary, with satisfactory results. One
extensive guinea raiser confintd as
many as As hens and Is males in an
acre pen throughout the breeding and
laying season. This pen is inclosed
with a wire fence feet high and the
birds prevented from flying over by
the flight feathers of one wing beng
clipped. Within the pen is grass
pasture with bushes here and there
where the hens make their nests by
scratching out bowl-shaped hollow
in the ground. The winters being
severe. roosting shed is provided.
having a cheated board reaching from
the floor to the roosts for the wing
clipped birds to walk up.
Most guinea raisers, however, allow
their breeding stock free range OF the
entire farm at all times. This helps
to keep the birds strong and vigorous.
During the winter the breeders should
be fed a grain mixture of corn. wheat.
and oats twice day. Where no
green feed is available on the range
at this time OF the year. vegetables,
such as potatoes. turnips. beets, ana
cabbage, should be substituted, poul-
try specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture suggest.
Animal feed is essential to best
results and can be supplied by feed
ing meat scrap or skim milk. Given
free range, where the supply OF nat
ural feed during the winter and early
spring is ample. as it usually is IL
the southern portion OF the United
States, the guineas may be left 10
pick up a considerable part Of their
feed Free access to grit, charcoal
and oyster shell is necessary through
out the breeding and laying season.
Avoid having the breeders too fat
hut keep them in good, firm flesh.

In so far as the effects of the opera
ton and the rapidly and ease of heal
ing are concerned. the time of year
when the operation is performed is of
little Importance. The capons seem
to recover well at any time. Certain
other considerations, however. infiu-
ence the time. The age and size Of
the cockerel are very important. AS
soon IS the cockerels weigh l u to
2k pounds, or when 2 to months
old, they should be operated upon
The lower age and ght limits apply
particularly to the American breeds.
while the higher apply to the Asiatics
Capons are in greatest demand and
bring the best prices from the Christ
mas season until the end Of March.
Capons are usually kept till they
are about 10 months old. At this
time the market is at its best and the
birds have made their most profitable
gains The feed used and the method
Of feeding vary greatly, SO much so.
indeed, that it is futile to give specific
directions. For several months after
the operation a good growing ration.
not a fattening one, is required. 1t
may consist of whole grains, ground
grains, or a combination of the two,
as each feeder finds most profitable
and best suited to his locality. AS
with other poultry, variety must be
given for best results. Late in the
fall, when the capons have no pas
ture, green feed. such as cut clover or
vegetables, should be provided. A
somewhat more fattening ration than
that required for laying hens seems
to give good results.
As capons are not usually marketed
before Christmas, or the LIST Of Janu-
airy, they have to be housed during
late fall and early winter. Because Of
their quite disposition they stand
crowding quite well, and have been
successfully housed with only 2 or 3
square feet Of floor space to a fowl
Free range for capons, however. is
very desirable. as it promotes their
continuous. rapid. and economical
growth, The cost Of rearing capons
to 10 months of age is big item
with present high feed prices, unless
a good range is available.
p During the last month and a half
before marketing the corn in the rat
ion should be gradually increased
until the capons are on full fatten-
ing ration. For the last two or three
weeks they may be shut up and fed in
crates, for every possible ounce at
this stage adds to appearance and
profit.

away with it in the films. But
In the days when a cowpuncher
earned $50 month instead of being
PAID $1,000 week, and when he
manicured his nails by scraping tho
sand out of the bake oven, it was
different. If careless stranger
slaughtered somebody else's beef, the
owner and his friends usually escort
ed said stranger beneath stout
cottonwood tree and moved the
ground from under him. They took
these steps more on sorrow than in
anger, for hanging the rustler did
not resurrect the dead steer.
Neither rustler nor human nature
has changed much since those days.
Now the rustlers run off with dollars
instead of cows. They work with oil
stock prospectuses, promises of fifty
per cent dividends and assurances of
enormous price advances instead of
by blotting brands and steampedes.
Sooner or later most of them run
fould of the law and are captured or
chased across the border. But if they
have taken your money, putting
them in the big stone house ut At
lanta or Leavenworth won't bring
your dollars back.
If one lets dollars run loose the
rustlers are mighty likely to get at
least some of them. The. one safe
plan is to put them where the rust
