THE TRIBUNE-REPUBLICAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1913 13 INDUSTRY COMMERCE EARNINGS OF O. W. LARGER LAST YEAR Report for Year Shows Surplus of Over a Million Dollars Over 1912. GAIN IS BIG ONE NEW YORK, Sept.

21. The New York, Ontario and Western Railway company has issued its full pamphlet report for the year ended June 30, 1913. The income account compares as follows: 1913 1912 Gross $9,454,349 $8,527,944 Operating expenses, taxes 6,730,132 6,730,467 Net 2.724,217 1,797,307 Other 212,785 367,307 Total 2,937,002 2,164,784 rent, 1,725,369 1,691,055 Surplus 473,729 to 2.08 per cent. on 113,983 capital stock, as compared with 0.81 per cent. earned on same stock last year.

President John B. Kerr says: An increase in freight equipment having become necessary the board 50-ton coal, 300 box, 50 stock, 50 authorized the purchase of 500 0 steel refrigerator, and 100 flat cars. A car trust agreement the lease and sale of the cars effected with the Bankers' Trust company, under which the company issued trust notes for $900,000, payable in semi-annual installments of $30,000 each for fifteen years, with interest at 4 1-2 per the company paying the balance of cost, amounting to $154,828. All the coal cars and some of the others were delivered before June 30, and the balance since that date. This addition to the equipment should materially reduce the charges for hire of equipment, which mount rapidly against a carrier' unable to keep its proper proportion of cars on connecting lines.

During the present season there has been an unexpectedly large increase in the number of passengers to Summer resorts on the line, for whose comfortable accommodation it was difficult at times to provide enough cars. It will be necessary to procure more passenger equipment before the next season opens, and this subject should have early attention, The freight equipment, with the additions lately made, seems adequate to take care of the business in sight. Mines Hampered By Strikes. While the demand for anthracite coal has been more active than usual during the Spring and Summer, production has been hampered by innumerable petty strikes at the mines, which have restricted the tonnage to be moved. The indications are that the activity will continue during the Fall and Winter months, and it is hoped that the industrial conditions may be improved.

The report of the general superintendent contains detailed information of the improvements made during the year, and such as are now under way. Although these improvements have been and are imperatively necessary, they are not such as produce or increase revenue, and except for their urgent need would not be warranted by the returns from operation and the general financial situation. This company hopes, as do all other companies, that some measure of relief may be obtained through a moderate increase in rates, and no further increase in wages; without this relief it will be difficult to make further improvements or additions to the property, except those that are absolutely necessary for safety, or will at once produce material economies in operation.

There were a number of special points strength in the list which served to, sustain the market and facilitate profit taking, and at intervals to turn the whole movement upward. Sentiment over the future remained optimistic, but recognition was given the unwisdom of attempting to force a campaign to advance prices at a period when the season's demands for trade and commerce were drawing down bank reserves and making extra demands for credit facilities.

The government's warehouses are stuffed with imported goods in bond, waiting for the reduction. Trade advices continued mixed. The influence of crop damage remains to be measured. The iron and steel trade is to conjecture of the new competition to be met with reduced duties, and of the extent of railway buying to be expected.

Copper statistics are a strengthening influence on the price of the metal. CHICAGO UTILITIES BONDS ARE HOLDING FIRM CHICAGO, Sept. 21. Chicago Utilities bonds have been firm around 60 on probability of sale of the Illinois Tunnel's automatic telephone plant and business to the Chi-1 cago Telephone (American Telephone Telegraph) for $6,300,000. Proceed: would be devoted presumably to retiring the bonds, which represent receiv ers' certificates and cash raised by assessment during recent re-organization.

Authorities are expected to approve the sale if the federal authorities find therein violation of the Sherman law. runt There is a good deal of interest in the tunnel, although its affairs, as a tunnel concern, remain dormant. Some expansion of the traffic may be attempted when the telephone transac. tion is consummated. It is that the Armour interests and others in control of the Utilities may turn over to the Bell interests later the control of the Automatic Electric, which manufactures the automatic apparatus for which there is good demand in the far West and in Europe.

Automatic Electric earnings are reported excellent. NURSE'S ERROR CAUSES YOUNG WOMAN'S DEATH VARREN, Sept. 21.

PIG IRON SALES LIGHT NEW YORK, Sept. 21.

The steel mills reported a fair volume of business in rolled products not usually considered in current records. Another point of interest was the placing of contracts for 35,000 tons steel plates a and shapes by the Haskel and Barker Car company to cover the struction of 2,500 cars for the Northern Pacific, the business going to the Illinois Steel' company. Otherwise buying railroad equipment was light. One notable contract, however, 4,500 tons standard rails for British' Columbia. The United States government distributed orders for six torpedo boat destroyers among eastern shipyards and the construction of twelve other boats is pending on the eastern coast and on the lakes, calling for an aggregate of 25,000 tons steel plates.

Semi-finished steel is being offered more freely in the east, including billets by the Southern Steel company at less than $25 delivered in eastern Pennsylvania, subject to a $5 freight rate. Some rumors were that offerings had been as low as $18 at Southern mills. More general interest was shown in steel building and bridge work, although the aggregate tonnage of shapes placed was not large. Merchant sales of iron were lighter but approximately 350,000 tons placed under contract this been OLYPHANT FUNERAL SERVICES OF JOSEPH WILLIAMS HELD The funeral of Joseph Williams held from the family home was Third street, Blakely, on Saturday afternoon.

ON THE FARM The result of seven years of experimental work by the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station indicates that an open shed boarded up closely on three sides and kept well bedded at all times, is more efficient for fattening steers than the basement of a barn.

During the winter of 1909-10 cattle fed in an open shed made more rapid gains, attained a higher finish, sold for 15 cents per hundred more and returned 11.6 cents more for each bushel of corn consumed than similar steers fed in the barn. They also required less labor in bedding and more straw was used in thea bedding. A cow on silage will give a larger percentage of milk than if fed on any other forage of equivalent dry weight; hence the economy of the product. Three will not be a radical change in the production of the cows, but, never. theless, tests will tell an interesting story 1 in favor of silage, as compared with any other foodstuff, at the enc of the year.

Silage is as succulent a feed as pasture grass. It is relished by cattle, stimulates the appetite and aids in diYoung calves feed upon it will have a new silky coat and a good conformation. Then, in the case of the parent stock by feeding silage we entirely do way with the break between pasture and winter feeding with the result that a normal flow of milk 18 obtained throughout the lactation period. Silage is valuable, not only in that it contains the entire plant, 'stalk, ears and leaves, but because the cory is thoroughly softened, hence more easily digested, waste of heat and consequently a greater energy left for milk production, before stated, it stimulates milk flow, and this remains constant throughout the entire lactation period. Silage-fed cows preduce milk of superior quality for Swiss cheese and for condensing factory purposes.

Clotted Milk. Dr. M. Francis, veterinarian at the A. and M.

college, has the following to say in answer to a query: "In regard to your cow, which gives clotted milk, will say that if that quarter of the bag is hard, I would give her a large dose of salts, say, 8 pounds one dose, rub that quarter of her bag well with a mixture of lard and camphor and milk her tent from four to five times a day, on the ground, then wash your hands and her teats very thoroughly with some carbolic acid soap before milking any other test or handling vessels or milking another cow. Silage For Cows. The value and, use of silage for dairy cows is better understood every year. The term silage is an abbreviation of the word ensilage, which means a succulent forage preserved in a silo. For this purpose Indian corn is generally used in this country.

montes been found through experiment results have been obtained by planting it In hills 2 feet apart, with the plants 6 Inches apart in the rows. The thickness and method of planting should, however, depend on the fertility of the soil, amount of rainfall and other local factors. Thorough cultivation should be practiced all through the early life of the crop to keep down the weeds and to retain, soil moisture. When the ears have passed the "milk stage" and begin to show signs of glazing the crop is ready for the silo. At this period most of the sugar has been transformed Into starch, and ripening further would only sacrifice the succulent value of the food.

Again, if the corn 18 too dry when placed in the silo it is likely to mold, but cutting on the "green side" has no such seriously bad effects. What Sell Requires. 'Professor Gilbert, of the Maine Experiment station recommends, for the top dressing of meadow, 850 pounds to acre of a fertilizer carrying 8 per cent. of nitrogen, 7 per cent, phosphoric acid, 6 per cent potash. After the' frat crop.

is cut, 150 pounds of the same fertilizer to the acre should be applied. As different kinds of soil require ditferent fertilizers, come having hausted their supply of potash, while others may be rich in potash and lacking phosphoric acid, every farmer WE OFFER Combination Investment which has many attractive features.
