Electric Railways Improved
During 1922, Statistics ShoW
asy Tn. Associated Press,

NEW YORK. Jan. Electric rail-
way conditions throughout the United
States improved during 1922. accord
ing TO a statement given out today
ty c. D. Emmons, President Of the
American Electric Railway Associa-

Statistics ased on detailed reports
from companies representing one
third OF the country's mileage show
that. despite the growing use Of plea
sure automobiles and keen bus COM
petition IN many sections. more per-
sons rode on electric railways during
1922 than In 1921. The total num-
, her OF passengers carried exceeded
fifteen billion. Up to May there was
a failing OF in revenue passengers
over last year. but since that time
generally there has teen steady in
crease.
Net operating revenues increased
IA percent in spite OF the fact that
The gross sovenue was off 2i5 percent
owing TO general fare reductions per
passenger from 749 TO 1888 cents. A
decrease of 50 percent in operating
expenses served in great measure &c
Offset the fare reduction loss.
The operating ratio. which repre-
sents the percentage that operating
costs lear to gross receipts. dropped
from 752 to 724 This Is a contin-
uation OF the improved condition OF
the industry noted year ago. and
is one Of the most favorable signs in
its gradual steady recovery.
Receiversh!p records for the year
are encouraging, Mr. Emmons de-
claros. Detailed reports from Jan

Pigs on Rape Pasture
Require Some Tankage

Tests in hog feeding conducted by
". L. Robson of the Ohio experiment
station show an advantage OF feeding
some tankage as a supplement TO corn
TO pigs on rape pasture Some farm
ers have believed that rape pasture
alone is a satisfactory supplement for
corn
Pigs weighing Sc pounds and fed
ration OF corn 10. tankage I. parts by
weight. for IS weeks on rape pasture
weighed III pounds ar the end Of the
experiment.
A similar lot of pigs full fed on
corn alone but on rape pasture for IS
weeks made a final weight OF 146
pounds.
The average daily gain for the tank
ase-fed group is IL pounds and nine
tenths of pound for the lot full fed
on corn alone.
The tests show that rape is a valu-
able pasture for swine. but il will not
fully supplement a fulfilled ration OF
corn.

Jelf-Feeders for Swine
Fattening Reduce Cost

Wherever labor can be saved on the
farm and results accomplished just as
satisfactorily, by all means save the
labor. Results Of experiments at the
University Of Missouri College Of Agri-
culture with self-feeders for fattening
hogs show that those eating from a
self-feeder gain more rapidly than
those depending on the hand-feeding
methods. The amount Of feed neces-
sary to produce a pound Of pork re
mains practically the same, but the
amount Of labor Is usually reduced 1t
is this decrease in labor which enters
as factor In cheapening the cost Of
producing pork

Horses Are Annoyed by
BOtf1V Pest in August

During August, horses are annoyed
to a considerable extent by the pres
ence Of BOTTLES. These flies are about
the size Of honeybees, and are most
annoying to horses legs
BOTTLES deposit small yellow eggs,
and cement them TO hairs at the time
they are laid During the late fall and
early winter the eggs enter the horses
mouth Later the eggs hatch In the
stomach. and develop into the tarFal
form known as bots They attach
themselves to the lining Of the stom-
ach, where they remain and consume
some Of the nutriment that should
nourish the horse. During late spring
and early summer the bots pass out in
the manure. They at once burrow into
the ground, where they undergo
changes in their life cycle, and soon
emerge as fully developed BOTTLES.
Bots produce no definite symptoms,
neither is there any satisfactory treat
ment that can be applied Prevention
Is easy. and practicable TO a consider
able extent. Every few days during
the fall months all hairs should be
clipped off that contain eggs Of bot
files. BY thus reducing the number Of
eggs the number Of bots will be re-
duced.

SHOCK.
Hog-Growing Contests
Make Better Breeders

Prepared By the United States Department
Of Agricuiture-)
Hog-growing contests In which the
object Is to make litter weigh ton
when six month"; old have demonstrate
ed the soundness of the recommends
tons on breeding, feeding and manage
ment which have long been made by
the various state department stations
and the United States Department Of
Agriculture. In one of these contests
conducted last year by the Indiana
Live Stock Breeders association 555
farmers enrolled and 80 Of them raised
80 litters which weighed 1000 pounds
or more at the end Of $50 days.
The important facts for pig pro-
ducers to remember. says E. T. Russell
In charge Of swine investigations for
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, ls that all OF the winning lit
tiers were narrowed and sucked In
clean quarters; all were sired By pure
bred boars; % Of the dams we're pure
bred, 8 were high-grades and CROSS
breds; none of the IS filters contained
fewer than 10 pigs; and all of them
were farrowed by Cd sows- On the
average, therefore, the pigs IN these
record filters weighed 200 pounds when
they had reached the tender age Of
six months
Many states are holding similar con-
tests this year, says the department,
and 1t Is expected that the results Will
make a large number Of converts to
the principles and practices Of better
breeding, feeding and care. not only
for hogs, but for all kinds Of farm AMI
mails.

MUCH LIKE THE DAYS OF OLD
Skill of Ancient Tournaments Exer-
cised In Modified Form in Two
Southern States.

Ancient tournaments in which mailed
knights jousted with lances for the
favor of a fair lady, are perpetuated
In modified form among the descend
ants of the early settlers of Virginia
and Maryland. Horseback tourna-
ments with lances are a feature of al
most every fair and old home day In
the country around Washington.
Instead Of driving his lance against
his antagonist TO unhorse or disable
him, the modern knight of the tourna-
ment attempts to pick three rings sus-
pended from crosspieces over the
course on the end of his lance, while
galloping through the course at pre-
scribed rate of speed.
If he picks all three, two white clad
pages, usually pretty girls, escort him
back past the judges stand. Some
times a dozen tests are necessary be-
fore one knight shows his superiority
over the others. He then is permitted
to pick the queen of the tournament,
who is the belle Of the ball, which al
ways follows the event.
