Sthe democratic operation of public
u* tilities that has cane since the us
- tion took over the railroads was cam:
Ssummated recently when the govern
meaet' assumed operation of the four
Ofrincipal expres compeate of the
SUnited States.
The capital of the new government
, controlled company is to be $30,te00
000, which evidently covers only the
value of the assets needed in the conu
Pduct of business. Thus a great
,amount of watered stock has been
squeezed out.
The government, as operator of the
railroads, is to receive 50b per cent
v of the gross earning from the express
d ofbusiness, and of the proTts remaining
from the other 49% per cent, after
expenses are paid, the compapy is to
pay 5 per cent on the stock and any
proSt beyond that is to be divided
with the government. This is probf
ably the grst big consolidation on ress
ord in which watered stock- was
squeezed out. The general practice is
to put a large amount of water in to
absorb the estimated savings of con
solidation.
Public Ownership Spreading.
The latest move of the government
in assuming control of the express
business illuarates how public opera
tion in one ield inevitably leads to
public operation in related utilities.
Several years ago the parcel post sys
tem was established by Congrtes
against the bitter opposition of the ex
press companies. It soon developed
that the government could carry par
cels much more cheaply and efficient
ly than a rivate exprol oftexpess and
the express companies were saved 1
only by the fact that Congress set
a limit to the size of parcels and the s
conditions under which they were car- 4
rted. Whe goe government assumed c
opesation of the railroads, the govern- t
ment. operation of the express busae
ness became inevitable. a f
. 10 CENTS TAKEN FROM COAL
PRICE.
All bituminous coal shipped from
mines after May 25 must be sold for
10 cents less than the former mail
mum price. It is estimated that this
new order of the Fuel Administration
will save the consumer5 not less Than
$60,000,000. Due to the fact that the
Government is operating the railroads,
cars are being furnished the mines
without discrimination, a fact which
will add much to our coal output The
government has also enforced new
regulations to prevent coai companies
from profiteering by sending poorly
screened coal to the market.
DENOUNCE BUT NOT DISCUSS,
"The interests fear a discussion of
the facts," said Charles A. Lindbergh,
Nonpartisan candidate for governor of
Minnesota in his opening speech.
"They know that they can neither
deny nor defend their unpatriotic ex
ploitation when every true citizen is
sacrificing for his country's good.
Therefore these profiteers and their
political henchmen dodge the real is
sue and bring fake charges of disloy
alty against others. They do this to
divert attention from their own ne
farious practices which will not stand
the light of day."
CALVES O - SEARATED MILK
0 No Fixed Rules of 'feding Can Be
k Given.-4ize and Vigor of Animal
r Must Be Consadered. .
(Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.l ]
At least four-fifths of all dairy 1
calves are raised on separated milk, t
grain beting used to supply the fat re- t
moved. Usually it pays well to feed I
whole milk for about two weeks, at the
end of which time separated milk may e
be used in part. The propartion of the a
latter may be gradually increased until e
at the end of the fourth week it ia used
altogether. No fixed rules of feeding, v
based upon age, can be given, because f
the size and vigor of the calf must al- tl
ways be considered. Calves especially p
strong at birth may be put on separ- F
ated milk entirely at two weeks of age, h
but this should not be attempted with (
weak ones. Until the calf is in vigor- o
ous and thrifty condition no attempts o
should be made to change to separated h'
milk. This change should always be qi
made gradually.
For the first four days, from eight to v
twelve pounds of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any cow or cows in L
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly -dry. Milk containing
not more than 4 per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this 'pur
pose.
At the beginning of the third week re
the substitution of either skim or sep- fr
arated milk may commence at the rate bt
of one pound a day. The quantity of at
the daily ration may be increased two ci'
to four pounds, depending upon the ly
vigor of the calf. The quantity, show- c1i
ever, should be kept well below the is
capacity of the calf; that is, when it th
does not drink eagerly what is ofered, lo'
the quantity should be cut down. go
At the beginning of the fourth week, of
from one-half to three-quarters of the m'
milk ration should be separated milk.
Teaching Calf to Drink.
During the week the change should be
continued until by the end of the week
only separated milk is fed. With espe*
dally vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about a
week. earlier.
After - this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity .fed can be
graduzally increased until 18 to 20
pounds a day are given. It Is usually
net economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be d#
tinued depends upon its. cost in -
tins to the value of the cultf its bred
else, vigor, etc. The season In -whit
it reaches the age of six moths and
the other fewd{ *;ilabe at that time
must also be eak. ,to couslderation.

PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods of Caring for Eggs
e and Proper Packing Would Reduce
Needless Loss.
Losses in eggs durlpg the summer
months ftel directly upon the farmers.
Dealers know that an average of 15 to
18 per cent of eggs marketed during
the summer is either a total or a par
tial loss; hence prices, they say, are
I rased upon good eggs only.
Better methods of caring for the
r eggs and better packing before they
are shipped would reduce this unnee
I essary loss.
A few definite rules for the pre
vention .of loss in summer eggs are
formulated by the poultry division at
the Pennsylvania State college: (1)
Produce sterile or infertile eggs. (2)
Keep eggs i4 a cool, dry place. (3)
Have clean nests and plenty of them.
(4) Do not keep the eggs near kerosene
or decaying vegetables. They absorb
odors readily. (5) Market the eggs fre
hjuently. Holding does not improve
quality.
KEEP MOTHER HEN CONFINED
Loss of Chicks by Exposure Largely
Preventable by Keeping Hen in
Ventilated Coop.
It is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range un
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and, as a re- cl
sult, some are chilled and die, espe
cially the weaker ones, which are like
ly to be left behind. The loss of young
chicks which follows such a practice
is large and mainly preventable. Fur
thermore, the food which a brood al
lowed to range with the hen" obtains
goes very largely to keep up the heat
of the body and the chicks do not
make as good growth as they other
wise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting, the hen
in a coop. Any style of coop which
is dry, ventilated and can be closed -
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats and other animals, and J r
Mother Hen in Coop.
,which, while confining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are a few days old,
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are
weaned, though a small yard may be
attached to the coop, if desired, to al
low the hen to exercise. The fence
can be raised from the ground far
enough to allow the chicks to go in
or out, but not high enough for the
hen to escape. By using a coop the
chicks can find shelter and warmth
under the hen at any time and the
weaklings, after a few days, may de
velop into strong, healthy chicks.

(Wy C. S. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul

The day of standardisation in the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for. a cent apiece, the claim "an egg

present increased prices, the con
