ATTITUDE TOWARD
THE RAILWAYS Is CHANGING

The news service of the /. C. rail.
road recently sent a man to this
bounty and the following r some
of his impressions:
A general impression once existed
that farmers regarded the railways
which served them with transporta-
ton as their enemies, to be opposed
to the last ditch in every effort
which the carriers made to obtain
adequate rates and to build up ar
organization for giving adequate ser
vice. The Illinois Central System is
conducting an investigation in an at
tempt to discover whether such a
spirit of hostility exists now.
The Illinois Central's representa-
tive recently spent several DAVIS in
Grenada County, Mississippi, talking
to the farmers of that county aDouG
the service which they r getting
from the Illinois Central and the
Yazoo q Mississippi Valley Rail
roads, the only lines which enter the
county. He reports, in the Deem
Der number of the Illinois Central
Magazine, just off the presses, that
he was received with the friendliest
of welcomes and o~verwhelmir ely as
sured that farmers of Grenada Coun-
t. r highly appreciative of the rail-
way system which serves them, al
though the farmers to be interview
ed were selected at random from a
list of the representative farmers of
the county, without regard to their
attitude on railway questions.
A few suggestions for improving
service-most of them dealing with
isolated lnstances-were brought
back by the reporter and incorporat-
ed in his article for the magazine,
which is distributed to every officer
and employee of the system. One
farmer suggested that luncheon per-
iods for clerks in stations manned by
more than representative be so
arranged that the stations will be
open during the noon hour. Anoth-
thought that farmers living a dis
lance from the railway station ought
to be considered above those living
the station in fixing the free
time allowed shippers and consignees
to load and unload cars. Another
the transfer of a flagman
to what he termed a buster street.
Another wanted stock pens rooted.
Another suggested a change in rout-
ing his freight.
All the suggestions, however, the
reports. wer given in a
spirit Of annreciation for the rail-
wav, its management, its employees
and its service. Nearly all the farm.
ers passed complimentary remarks on
the system. which are, of course, al
so reported by the interviewer.
Among those quoted are:

! Happy Girl in Town
There is many a girl who likes
'anaries and could raise large num-
bers of them if she would study the
business and apply herself to it. She
could work up market for an in
finite number of birds in almost any
village or town or along the country
lanes where people know her, for
our Idaho communities have not yet
installed enough canary birds to
even demonstrate their value. Many
farmers daughter wants to do
something besides the round Of
house work on the farm and she
does not want to go to town and
wear herself out clerking or dress
making or at millinery or some other
dogs life, but she has not thought
about the industry of raising pea
fowls. She may be so fond of bright
colors that she persuaded herself
she would have to he an artist or a
milliner or decorator to satisfy her
hunger for colors, but if she will
take good look at flock of pea
fowls and study their habits and
superior intelligence, she may con-
clude that raising them is the partic-
ular kind of work she needs to round
out her young life and make enough
money to travel or build a mansion
on the farm.
Happy Girl on Farm
Pea fowls are probably the most
beautiful of American birds and the
monotony of Idaho farm homes
would be enlivened by having some
of them around. They roost on a
high limb like a turkey, and at the
break of day they let yell to wake
the folks. They say, Peak! Peak!
Pealk! loud enough to be heard
several hundred yards, and then
they quiet down again. They are
very intelligent and very curious. i

Just because John and Mary do not

cows and raising scrub chickens,
where there are no suitable con-
veniences for doing it successfully,
that John has to become a doctor
or warehOuseman and that Mary
has to become a milliner or clerk.
Not so. There are classes and
grades Of agricultural activity that
are making delightful vocations for
young men and women, and enabl-
ing them to perform such useful
service to the country that large
profits soon result from their work.
There isn't much chance for success
and profits by following along the
old lines of agriculture. Not long
ago there was poultry show at a
town on the Minidoka project and
they secured the service oe IN exert
to grade their fowls. They were
especially anxious to have him sort
out the hens that were profitable
layers so they could kill off those
that would not pay their keep. They
assembled 100 hens for the test, and
he scored them carefully and re-
jected 100 of them as being unpro-
fitable and challenged the owners
TO put any or all of them to years
test and make them show one cent
of profit. They took his analysis and
killed the hens, had some perfectly
good dinners and began stocking
places with pure bred chickens.
Killing His Best Profits
A man living at Bancroft, Idaho,
discovered a litter of eight coyote
pups, and at first thought was about
to knock them in the head, but
changed his mind and captured the
mother and all the pups. He learned
that they were worth something and
soon sold the family for little over
$500. Boys who never made dol
lar in their lives any faster than by
picking up spuds or topping sugar
beets, are studying coyote habits
now and making what they call "all
kinds of money! by finding baby
coyotes and feeding them on COWS
milk and bread crumbs till they can
arrange for sale; or if they do not
wish to sell them, they get some
poultry netting and fence in a
brushy little tract and take great
