Mr rroraa submitted questions to tba man' agere ol tba different department and received re pi leu as follows: Query: Previous to the city taking oreryoor tramway from the company tbat ran it, did tbe city draw a revenue for tba oae of tba atrecte from tbe com pany? Ana, Yea. The average net reveuuet tothecltv for tbe use of tbe etreete amounted to $18,820. O. What ia tbe difference in tbe city'e favor eince it owned tba plant and ran it? , Ana. flince tba tramwaya were taken over by tbe corporation the department baa paid over to tbe common good an annual eum of 145,000 aa net tree rev enue. Tbia aum baa, of courae, been paid in addition to recouping the com mon good fnr intereat on aum borrowed for tramway purpoeee. Q. Doea the city'e running it give general satisfaction? Ana. Tbe aervice of cara given by tbe corporation tramwaya givea complete satietaotlon. Q. Are tba wagea of tbe employee mora or Uea than under private man Sement andiait true that tbe city ve only cheap help, and doea cot pay mora than 4.82 a week? Ana. The wagea per hour are more than tboaepaid by the former company. No man in tba aervioe of the depart ment baa leaa than 15,04 per week of 60 hours. . Q. What ia the average time a car takea to run from Brldgeton acroaa to Patrick or any six mllee and what doea it coet tbe passenger? Ana. The average speed of tbe cara, including atoppagea, la between 6 and tf miles per hour. Tbe fare from Bridge ton Croae to Patrick la 6 eenta. Q. I bear the charge ia one omit a mlie. If I am going 6 mllee I pay the conductor 6 ceute and take a check? Ana.

Ia the city aatlefled with borae power? Or doea it contemplate tbe uee of electricity? Ana. It waa the intention of tho cor poration in taking over the working of the tramwaya to adopt mechanical traction at tbe earliest possible mo ment. Tbe town council on Thursday lout (Ctb April) almost unanimously re- aolved to equfc, the Hprlngburo & Mitch- all atreet route with overhead electric traction, a practical demonatratlon of . that system. A complete llet la appended, ot wagea paid to employes and It enow a that th wagea paid to men vary from 80 cunts per day, the men lu the stables, to f 1,08 to drivers and conductors, wagea are based on a sliding scale, giving to em ployes the highest figures after 8 years' steady employment. The tramwaya committee conslata of the lord provoat of this city, six bailies, or magistrates and 18 city councilors. The report for tbe year ending May 81, 1806. aays, "the result of the years working shows the grow receipts have amounted to 11,371,388 and tbe work Ingexpeuaea $1,255,550, tbua leaving a balance of revenue over working ex penses 01 ftio.iSjiB. This balance has been aDorotiriated in meeting interests. ainking funds, depreciation, renewal and reserve funds, and the aunual payment 01 f-ao.uuu to tbe common good. 1NCKKASINQ FACIMTIKS AND ACCOMMODA TIONS. Considerable sums wore expended dur ing tbe year, on additional tramway lines, ground, buildings, hortwa and equipments, amounting In all to $285, 200. This sum falls to be addod to the capital amount and there falls vobe deducted the sum of $80,045, being the amount of depreciation written off cap ital. The capital account therefore has increased to $2,014,005. On account ot tbe development ot the traffic, 7,183 square yards of ground were purchased on which an additional depot was erected, with accommodations for 803 horses, 48 cars, aud the usual appurtenances, and three depute have been extended to bold In all .T.'fl addi tional boreee and 10 care.

In many sections of tbe country, pige j are allowed to run and are fed on corn or grain in addition to the food they can gather. In regions where corn is not abundant and ia not sufficiently cheap for thia purpoae there baa been considerable interest In studying forage crops auited to paaturage for piga. In connection with thia tbe effort baa been not only to learn what green crops are relished by pigs and would produce aatisfactory gaina in weight, but alao to arrange the crops in aucb succession aa to furnish food throughout tbe sea son. Several experiment etationebave been working along these linea with ref erence especially to tbe conditions and practices in tbe south. An Intereating report of experiments in fattening piga on a succession ot for age crops baa recently been published by the Arkanaaa atation. Rye, red clover, aorgbum, peanuta and aweet potatoes were the cropa used in the test. They j were grown on a worn soil a aaody loam deficient in vegetable matter- In good aeaaon would produce about 25 bushel j of corn to tbe acre. Tba pigs were confined in a movable pen while graiing. A grade Poland-China sow was turned Into tbe rye March 28. The rye bad been aown tbe fall pravioua and waa about alz incbea bigh. Tbe aow did nor relish the rye and waa given aotne corn in addition, comparatively little corn aa eaten and after a week they were put on red clover, which was its second year. The pigs grazed over it twice. 1 hey were fed aome corn In addition. Tbe aow waa kept with tbe piga nntll the middle of May, and a record waa kept of all tbe food abe con sumed. Toward tbe end of July tbe pigs were put on aorgbum which had been planted about the middle 01 April and waa head ed out and In bloom. Tbey ahowed a preference for the aorgbum heads and towards the last would not eat the stalks, wbloh had become rather hard. Late in September two ol tbe piga were put on aweet potatoea and three on pea nuta. The aweet potatoea were not rel ished and the piga did not make aatisfac tory gaina on them. After two weeks tbey were therefore put on peanuta with the other piga. They grew very rapidly on peanuta and continued , on thia feed until tbe ground froxein December. They Tbey were then fed all the aoaked corn they could eat until they were slaught ered, January 8, During the teat tbe piga had graced over one-fourth acre of clover, one-fourth acre of aorgbum, and THE OFFICIAL QUARTERS THE EXECUTIVE.

At the close of tbe test the pigs weigh ed 1,215 pounds, the average weight being 243 pounds. During tbe seventy two days on which peanuts or sweet potatoes were fed tbe average daily gain per pig was 1.81 pounds.

The total value of the grain fed the piga and the bow, while she ran with them, waa 910.61, and the value of the green cropa was f 4.50, The rent of the land was ausi'med to be $3, making tbe total cost ol fattening the pigs fib. 11 1 be average cost of producing a pound of pork was 1.5 cents. No estimate was made for the labor of tending the pigs since, in the authors opinion, it was too smaii 10 take into account. The pigs were slaughtered at tbe end ol the trial, Jan., 3.
