Annulled Reducing Tariff to
Omaha and Other Points.
SL Paul, Minn. Arguments In the
case of liftyo-ne railroad companies of
the west and southwest, which are
seeking to have annulled an order of
the Interstate Commerce commission
reducing rates on shipments on cattle
from all over the southwest to the
Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Jo
seph and New Orleans markets, were
presented in the United States circuit
court Friday. The case is being
fought by the railroads on exceptions
taken to the findings of James A. Se
don, special master in chancery,
whose recommendations upheld the
orders of the Interstate Commerce
commission issued about two years
ago and which are now in effecL
Arguments for the railroads were
prepared by J. W. Terry of Galveston,
Tex., and for the commission by S. S.
Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex.
Profits on Cattle Small.
Mr. Terry argued that the cattle
traffic does not pay the railroads so
much profit in proportion to the
quantity of freight carried as other
kinds of traffic. He maintained that
the rates established by the commis
sion are unreasonable and do not
give the railroads fair compensation
for handling that traffic.
Mr. Cowan, for the commission.
maintained that the rates established
by the commission were reasonable
and compensatory and that the for
mer rates reduced by the commission
were reasonable and compensatory
and that the former rates by the com
mission were unreasonably high.

Brown's testimony before adjourn
ment in the evening, the case of the
railroads practically was completed,
although J. C. Stewart, vice president
in charge of the operations of the

case of the reasonableness of any pro
posed general advances in rates con
sidered by the commission.

the English or Stracey and the
Christopher Simmonds group, the
former containing eighty and the lat

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY 18 LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark It as
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi
cation of Great Work.
Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at Its ap
proaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
"World's Fair." auch as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula
tion who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ins to anil from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares, arc the most important factors.
Considering these matters. New
Orleans' claims to being the "Logi
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
Slates. San Francisco Is 2.500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17.500.000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 2.000.000.
Within a radius of 1.000 miles from
New Orleans, there are fi5.000.O0O.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only fi.000.000.
At an average of 900 miles frorx
New Orleans, there are 70 of out
principal cities with a combined
population of 20.000.000. Averaging
BOO miles from San Francisco tber
are only 8 large cities, with a com
bined population of just 1.000.000
The average distance of all thest
Ities to New Orleans Is 792 miles.
to San Francisco 2.407 miles.
Over 75 per cent, of the people oi
:ha United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $12.50. as
against an average of $37.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
tor a trip to San Francisco, would
tmount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
lion to be settled by Congress at the
cssion which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish tc j
rlsit this World's Panama Expos!- '
:ion. and If held in New Orleans ,
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
sould go to San Francisco. There

Cement concrete is an ideal mate
rial for use in the construction of a
granary, except for one feature. In a
very damp climate where there are
heavy and protracted rains, there Is
Eome danger of moisture drawing
through the walls by capillary action,
rendering them damp in rainy weath
er, which would have a tendency to
cause molding if the grain came di
rectly against the wall.
If you have raised a good crop of
oats this year, feed some of them to
the hens. It is the best kind of food
for laying hens. They won't get too
fat on oats. You don't need to have
tho oats threshed for the hens, they
will do the threshing themselves and
it will be good exercise for them.
Many a farmer feeds his cows as
nearly right as he knows during the
time the milk is flowing freely. In
the early part of the summer, and
then allows her to shift for herself
during the late hot summer months
when the flow la often reduced.
Tho dairyman .Aio has a good per
manent pasture from "lhlch his cows

fresh store of vigor and health from
the moderate exercise, from the sun
and the shade, is indeed fortunate.
More mowers are knocked out in
cutting weeds than in cutting grass

the old one can be used for a weed

The earlier you can get your winter
wheat ground plowed the better.
Wheat is a plant that delights In a
firm seed bed and that cannot be ob
tained if the ground is plowed a few
days before seeding. If it is plowed
early, however, and is thoroughly
disked and harrowed at intervals, It
will be comparatively firm, yet loose
enough on top when it Is .time to sow
the wheat.
Prior to and during the molting
period feed whole wheat for morning
feed in straw litter. The noon feed
should consist of cold bran slightly
seasoned with salt and cayenne pep
per, with well-cooked lean meat, such
as boiled heart, liver or lights, cut
into strips. The night feed, given
about four o'clock, is cracked oats in
straw litter.
Avoid watering the garden if possi
ble. Use the hoe more frequently, but
if protracted drouth renders the use
of hose or watering can a necessity,
do the work thoroughly. A little sur
face water simply entices tho roots
upward, where they are more readily
affected by dry weather.
Provide a good open shed for the
young turkeys to roost in and don't al
low them to wander off. Their value
Is steadily increasing now during the
approach of the fall and holiday sea
son and they are worth too much to
allow them to take up with the neigh
bor's flock.
Clean runs for the chicks are the
best preventive of gapes. Keep some
thing green growing In them, remove
all filth frequently and plow under a
little air-slaked lime occasionally if
you have ever been bothered with this
pest.
The brood sow should have a con
siderable proportion of bulky feeds,
such as pasture, roots, etc. This will
serve to distend the stomach and pre
vents her from squealing, while, at
the same time, keeping her from lay
ing on too much fat.
The net earnings of hens must al
ways depend largely upon such cir
cumstances as breeding, feeding, care,
etc., and probably the amount which
a hen can earn in a year after paying
all expenses may be estimated at be
tween one to one and a half dollars.
A well selected, well managed, well
cared for and well fed herd of brood
sows will produce two crops of pigs
a year better than a good lot of sows
given only mediocre or Indifferent
care will produce one litter.
If good dairy bred bulls are mat
ed with selected range cows the heif
ers of the first cross will be good milk
cows. Future crosses will still furth
er improve the herd if accompanied
by careful selection.
There are practically no diseases to
which ducks are subject. They can
be sickened and killed through igno
rance and carelessness by compelling
them to submit to improper food or
conditions.
Lameness ("bumble-foot") among
the fowls Is often caused by the roosts
being too high or the floor too hard,
and heavy fowls jumping thereon sus
tain bruises which later become more
serious.
In speaking of dairying too often
everything centers about the butter
output. This Is only ono of the many
lines of profit incident to the busi

Its leaves by breaking off.
There is little need of buying ex
pensive grains for swine, when main
tained on farms, or of feeding much
grain, except to nursing mothers or In
fitting for market.
Hcardless barley hay makes a mag
nificent feed for sheep and makes the
least waste. The sheep will eat
every bit of it and then ask for more.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Evei
a Model of Behavior to the
Children.
"It Is hard for a young mother, who
has not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the Influence she exerts
over her little one. She Is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
As the mother Is, so are her sons
and daughters. If a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and does not consider it nec
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per
son in her everyday life, but who Is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will Invariably
see her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices apd 6tep quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word and a pleasant
smile. For a true woman will never
fall to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toil. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.
PERSONAL QUESTION.
"Say, Mister, ter decide a bet, how
often does youse eat a day? I sez six
teen times and Johnnie sez about
ten!-
It Is a shame for people who have
In their lives a consciousness of love
and character and courage, to fall in
to the wasteful folly of unhapplness
about the unimportant. Margaret Lto
