Although the conditions Of living
have improved a little in Vienna IN the

Rome May Be
Without Opera
This ear
By Agnes r. Mackenzie

ROME, Oct. Rome may be with
out her opera season this year owing
TO the stand taken by the Federation
Of Orchestra Professors. Every man
in an orchestra in Italy has the right
Of calling himself q professor. The
management NJ the Costanzi, headed
by the i1npresario Walter Mocchi and
his wife, Emma Carell, decided last
July that the present high bonus paid
besides the salaries, but which almost
equals them, should be reduced. The
musicians placed the matter in the
hands of their secretary, General Hon
orable Monici, who before his election
as Deputy to Parliament was a bar
ber, but who has now turned his atten-
tion to music, aa this job Of mediator is
we'll paid. Signor Monici refused TO
reduce either the bonus or any of the
conditions which the lyric impresari
were forced TO accept Inst year when
members of the musical federation
went on strike. In consequence Of This
the management OF the Costanzi have
decided 10 close the opera house until
better times prevail. Although the box
Office receipts during the season Of this
year amounted to 100000 francs, the
season closed with a deficit OF 100000
francs. This was due not only 10 the
high salaries paid but to the cost Of
producing several new operas as well
as "Tristan," "Parsifal," Boris" and
the Puccini old favortes, LA Tosca"
and "Manon," besides the Russian bal
let's, which were gorgeously produced
with marvellous scenic effects and cos
tunes.
The orchestra pay roll alone at the

com pany's salaries amount to $3.50 600

the salaries have increased at leas:

ABOUT THE PoRKERS

During the month of September
the bulk of our fall pigs will be
farrowed Many hog raiserS go on
the theory that a brood sow can
find her own living, or, at most,
needs only few ears of corn. Hen
ry and Morrison in their Feeds
and Feeding show the result of a
simple experiment:
One lot of gifts during their per-
guancy period received an average
daily ration of So pounds of corn.
These gifts produced pigs averag-
ing liza pounds at birth $50 of
them were good strong and vigor-
GUS Another similar lot of gifts
received a ration of 2.S pounds of
corn and AS pounds of tankage.
Their pigs averaged 2.23 pounds at
birth and $3.50 of them were
strong. The corn fed gifts put on
a daily gain of only .35 pounds
while that of the other lot was 81
pounds. Just compare these fig
ures and decide for yourselves
what a little care and extra work
will mean to you.

SO far all had gone admirably. My

This is the problem of labor. The
other is that of freight rates. AS
view the situation, 1t is impossible to
comply completely with the demands
of labor and many shippers and give
the American people the character OF
transportation service they desire and
to which they are entitled.
There can be no doubt but that
some rates should be readjusted and
railroad men are cooperating fully in
this direction and have made many
reductions. A proper readjustment,
however, is something entirely differ
ent from using the railroads to subsi-
die any special industry. And yet
that is exactly what the railroads

port of an interstate commerce COM

actual costs did not justify reduction

was to be saved.

The dangers of such situation
are readily apparent. If one industry,
which is in danger of its life because
of existing freight rates, is subsidized
at the expense of the railroad COM
panies and they are forced TO handle
this produce at a rate which does not
yield them a new dollar for an old one,
others are going to demand the same
treatment. The result will be that the
railroads will be in a more precarious
condition than any of the industries
so dependent upon them for efficient
service in the manufacturing and mar
keting of their products.
The railroads must be allowed not
only to earn their necessary expenses,
but sufficient margin above that
which will serve 10 attract new capital
and make possible expenditures for
new engines and cars, greater and
more efficient terminals, the reduction
of grades, the shortening of lines and
all of those necessary things which

lier's Weekly recently, quoted an in
ternational banker as saying "the
American people do not want to own
their utilities. But also they do not
want the present owners of them to
make a living The attitude of many
now seeking a general rate reduction
would seem TO give the color OF truth
to this statement"

Poultry Suggestions
For Late September

Market the surplus cockerels this
month, either as broilers, fryers, or
roasters, as soon as they are large
enough.
Gull and market all hens melting
to any great extent this month.
After melting begins egg produc-
ton stops, and hen is carried at a
loss. Early molters are not worth
carrying for another year. The De-
partment of Agriculture advises
against keeping them.
Keep the young stock growing by
liberal feeding.
Put nests in the houses occupied
by the pullets. A few may begin
to lay, and eggs laid on the floor
are likely to get broken and lead
to the habit of egg eating.
Figure on seeding down any poul.
try yards or runs not in permanent
sod. Rye, winter oats, and winter
wheat are good crops for poultry
yards.

TIMELY HINTS

Says Sam: The man who farms
hill land is that much nearer Heav-
en-, and he deserves to be.
Hens more than so months old
seldom pay.
Community fairs are community
builders.
Look your teams in the teeth.
Dental troubles mean digestive dis
orders, hard on horseflesh.
Says Sam: Add to the beauties
of country life the fact that the
farm is about the only place left
where a man can wear suspenders
in comfort.
With labor cheaper, farmers can't
afford not to select seed corn from
the field. Hire a man to take your
place husking if necessary; it will
pay.
Spot the cockerel with the
"bossy" eye. Vigor is a big factor
in selecting flock sires.
A big woodpile is the best heat
insurance.
A town that lets its newspapers
die is itself dead from the ears up.
Onion Sets, Multipiiers at Whe-
lan's.
Ask your county agent how hot
water can be made to cut loose
smut in oats from 20 percent to
nothing in a year.
Several useful greenhouse plants,
started now from seed and grown
in pots, will flower this winter.
Among them are stocks, migno-
nette, clarkia, nicotiana, etc.
