AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Soon To lie an Important Kod. . Those who are posted regarding the affairs of he Indianapolis, Decatur Ja Western road state that the outlook for the company is now more promising than at any time In ita history. President Hammond - is receiving ntouragement that his new bonds will te readily taken. and the road ia beginning to attract attention amone capitalists. The New York Commercial Bulletin of the 16th' ars: 'The Indianapolis, Dcatur & Western baa assumed control of the L. D. & &. bavin-? ..been enrrenaered by Receiver Hammond, of this eity, who is the new president. It is thought that the new njor traces are i.siiei in part to provide mens for the construction of tbe Datnr & Western railroad, whicn, it ia officially BMted by New York parties, is working in the intereft of the L, D. & W. Tbe latter roid has fonnd that its tonnage has for various reasons been decreasing lately, and that, as ratea have month by month shown a downward tendency, earnings'bave been nsskio? a ls favorable 8howir.g than hoped. The western extension, from Decatnr to Besrdstowo. HL, has therefore been decided upon in order that additional business may be secured, which, together with the fcew company's lighter interest requirements, may be exoectd to put the road on a sound financial basis as the final movement in the reconatraciioo. The extension wiil be seventyfive miles in length, and will enable the L, D. & W. to establmn connection at Beardstown with the Chiraeo, Burlington fc Quiney line. This will insure the Hammond road a fair amount of throneh business. Mr. Hammond has been personally superintending tbe preparatory work for Jhe buildinff of the new line. Construction will tommence in the spring. Present indications axe that the I., D. & W. will before many months control a direct line of 275 miles west from Indianapolis. , Points Gathered in Express Circles. Employes of the old express companies are feeling jubilant over the turn maHters have taken in express circles, and the belief prevails that no more roads will undertake to do express business. The United States express gathered in the Baltimore & Ohio before it became of see. they say, and now while in its infancy the Erie has been gathered in by the Wells, Fargo & Co. (or American express), leaving the three old companies the American, the Adams and the United States idhsits of the situation. The messengers of the United States Express Company now run over 33,000 miles of road, ineluding tbe lines they secured by obtaining control of the B. & O. express. The company now has 6,327 offices. ' It has been settled that the American express will not be ousted from the L.?N. A. & C. road in favor of tbe United States Express Company. The former has to pay more than heretofore, however to hold the L., N. A. & C. road.

Receiver for the D., Ft. W. & C. Dayton, O., March 19. Attorney R. D. Marshall was appointed and qualified as receiver of the Dayton, Fort Wayne & Chicago railway. Judge Harmon foaeht hard for a stay of proceedings in the interest of Eastern parties, bat the court overruled him and made the appointment. There will be additional judgments from other courts filed here against the road, amounting in the aggregate to $105,000. Receiver Marshall has announced the anpointm-n t of J. E. Gimoerjing to be general manager, W. B. Williams general freight and ticket agent, and N. P. Ramsey auditor. . The Railroad Men's Christian Association. The C St. I & P., the J.. M. & I. and the I. &V. railroad companies have declined to farther contribute to the support of the Railroad Men's Christian Association, of this eity, assigning as a reason that they must economize in all departments and curtail expenses generally. This means that the organization will go to pieces, as with all tbe roads aiding in its maintenance it was difficult to make the receipts pay the .expenses, although they were curtailed as far as practical. Telegraphers National Convention. ' Grand Chief Thurston, of the Orderof Railway Telegraphers, left at noon yesterday for Terre Haute, where he goes to establish a new assembly. In his trip through the West he is accompanied by Past Grand Chief McAllister. Indianapolis has been selected for holding their national convention, and about 300 delegates will be present. The session will be beid in J one, and last a week or more. Several important questions are to be settled. Tne organization now has over 9,000 members. Personal, Local and State frotn. Commencing with yesterday all baggage for transcontinental line points can be checked through to destination. John R. Elder, president of the Shell Beach road, who has been in New Orleans for some time, returned home yesterday. The Lake Erie & Western Sunday trains from Koblesviile in here are proving a paying arrangement, being liberally patronized. There is said to be more empty ears now standing on side-tracks for the want of business than at any time in the last two years. The Indianapolis roads have agreed to make one fare for the round trip to all persons who some in to ci:cnses this season There will be tut one circus show here this year. Of forty-three theatrical troupes which havi ome Soutn out of Chicago since the season commenced thirty-nine have taken the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road. The C, H. & I. people are making improve'tnents about their city freight depot costing $3,000. In bridging Pogue's fun they are Uoing 100.000 feet of three inch oak plans. Freight agents at this point yesterday braced CD rates to meet the advance made by the A., T. & S. F., St L. & S. F., the M. P., and the Ft Scott & Gulf, all of which advanced rates to the old tariff. General Passenger Agent Lee, of the Lake Erie & Western, has full linea of tickets prepared for the opening of their Peoria extension about April 1, and is distributing them to connecting roads. Alfred Sully has returned from his Florida trip, and says the report is all nonsense that he greed to tender his resignation as president of the Richmond Terminal road and its various interests on Msrch L The Lake Erie &. Western has placed berths in the Monarch sleeping cars run from Sandusky to Bloomington at $1.50. a distance of 400 miles, and this rate will continue when their trains ran through to Peoria. The winter of 1888 will long be remembered by railroad men for its seventy. The operating expenses of sixty nine of the principal roads were, in January. 18S8, 7G per cent of the gross earnings; in January, 1S87, 69 3 per cent D. IT. Conklin, general manager of the Terre Haute & Peoria rad, was in the city yesterday. He reports business on the road as being rather light, but looks for a marked improvement as Boon as the country roads become solid. Thomas L. Kimball, who succeeds T. J. Potter as general msnaper of the Union Pacific, is fifty-seven years of age. He entered "Railway service in 1S59 on the Pennsylvania road, and in 1871 became connected with the Union Pacific. Both the freight and passenger traffic og the Vandalia line continues quite satixfuotory, and compares well with lat year. This is the only Indianapolis road which will, the first half of March, show about the same earnings as last fesr. To-day through mail cars are to be put on to run between Nashville and Chicago over the Louisville & Nashville road, the Jeffersonville, 'Madison & Indianapolis and the Chicago. St. Louis & Pittsburg, and it ls'said to be highly probable that arrangements will be made to run through day coaches and sleeping cars over tbe same route. The reports "of the Southwestern Railway Association, made ruhlio yesterday, show that, for the first week in Mareb, the Chicago, BorjUngton & Qumcy earned only $3G0 on through and competitive business to the South west. The figures show how completely the road was tied up during the first week of the strike. Statistics for the subsequent weeks are not yet submitted. TraCia on the Pennsylvania linea, so far as Tasseugr business is concerned, is cow about In the excellent condition prior to the big sorm which blockaded its tracks. Freight business, however, is still behind. On Friday last, at fine time, tn thousand loaded ears were tied up by the blockade. Toe perishable freight were all moving by Saturday morning On Sunday night there were still some three thousand loadd cars sianding on side tracks. It is etited that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will rot ranks any issu of capital stock this year at par to its stockholders, m has been done for three years pest to provide funds for construction and equipment expenditures, but wiil rIy in part on th'e sale of 13.000,000 of eonsolidated bonds of the Western Pennsylvania in it possession, due June 1, 102$. under its guarantee of the taymeot of principal and interest. A good deal of "interest is shown amone railroad men ever the telegram stating that 1.500 men were wanted to go to China to orerate railroads in that country. John Johnson, formerly of the Nrw York Central road, it the agent, and within & few days will visit Western railroad

points in search of men. It is proposed to pay engineers $250 a montn. firemen and brakemen $125 a month, and expense of passage, if they remain in the employ of the company. : .- The C,I. St L. & C hu ninety miles of side track, and wiil increase it six miles this season, by putting in switches. A lengthy one is to be put in at Kankakee, leading to the tileworks at that point, which propose to begin using large quantities of Indiana coal. It is atat-d that there is not a road in the country which has so many side-tracks to lumber, coaiyards and manufactories as bs the "Big Four." At Indianapolis the company now has sixtyseven private switches.

Mr, Adara3 toen took ud the subject of dehorning cattle, ita practical representative and advocate beine Mr. Miles Rose, of Milton, a gentleman who has become expert "through having dehorned more than one thousand cattle. Mr. Miles confessed to having had the wish from youth up to have cattle dehorned, but was repressed by the advice of others and by a public opinion that could not then be braved. He trot some early experience by taking a broken horn off, as he now takes them off, but left a one-horned animal. Four years ago he dehorned two animals and said nothing about it. He eimpiy did it to satisfy himself in regard to what had been hia theory for many years. This was bofore the subject had been publicly discussed. With the horns off, the lives of the animals and th-ir keepers are more eafe. About two hundred men are annually gored to death in the United States by Vood bulls." Four of his horses had either been killed or badly torn up before he dehorned his whole herd,; It takes less food to keep a stock of dehorned cattle, as they eat in peace when yarded, and make better use of what they eat. They can be yarded closer, and that saves more of tbe manure and improves its quality. He had a neighbor who had twenty dehorned that be turned loose in a shed, who liked it better, saved labor over stanchioning them, and housed them just as warmly. Alt drink in peace as many as can get theit heads into the tank. Formerly he had to turn out a few at a time and watch them, or the underlings would pet r,o drink. Dehornnd cattle are safer to shin, and about two mow can safely be put intoacar. There is a right spot to cut the bulge at the base of tbe horn should be about equally divided; then less blood would flow. He usfS the stiff-back or mitre saw, though a bnteher's saw is good and ia often need. He had dehorned more than 1,000 head of cattle. He would dehorn calves when six weeks old. but do it with strong nippers mads for that purpose. The born very seldom crows after the operation on calves. He had not yet seen any proofs that it damaged the dairy cow or predisposed her to take on fat siu r!r because the horns, were off. They t?et fat with (rood food and ease, and grow lean again through yielding milk. His had done so for three years. Ha had a tvo-year-old Jersey sirer that was os'y and danperous before dehorning, and is ugly yet, but not dangerous. He did not show any signs of loss of "nervous energy." Would the cutting off of horns for successive generations lead to making moolyl He did not know, but lambs' and pies' tails had been cut off from time imrremoria!, still they were bom wtth tails of the "regulation length." A farmer said that was not true of cats and dogs. Mr. liose described bus method of holding the head in the stancbiou while he did the sawing. It was b it the work of a moment about three minute to each animal froru the time it is put n the stocks and let out scain. Animals would bleed most when the blood is hottest through violent exercise or very

hot weather. For that reason he prefers cold weather and a clear day.- He had heard of cue cow that died soon after the operation, but it was not knoTjrn whether there was other cause for it. Catt'e not dehorned unt.l after they are two years old do not learn to bunt to much as dehorned calves do. Their weapon cf. defense and instrument for fighting being gone, thv do not readily learn to use any substitute. Had any one repented taking tbe horns off his catil-T Not that he knew of, but he did know many who would not have the horns on again for S3 a head, and run tbe risks of damage to cattle, to say nothing of risks to human life. Fat and Lesa 3Ie,t. Philadelphia Rec ird. It has been demonstrated thst the farmer can produce animals for market preponderating in Jean or fat, as preferred, and the demand is increasing for carcasses that excel in lean. It has also been accepted that the best carcasses should a so contain a fair proportion of fat. The whole matter depends on the cost of production, and in considering the cost not only the food allowed to the animals but the ultimate effects on tbe soil enter into the question of profit or loss. The main point, after all, is the amount of fertility removed from the soil, for when the soil shall begin to deteriorate in fertility the wealth of the farm will be passing away. Choice lean meat sells at a higher price in market because it is of better quality for tbe table; but whether the difference in price between fat and lean meat will compensate for the difference in the elements required for their production depends on the mode of producing the meat and the manner of procuring the food. It is possible to buy the greater portion of thefood and convert it into beef or pork, securing the manure, and thereby realize a fair profit; but the same may be done in producing animals that preponderate in fat. So far as procuring the materials from the soil Is concerted, it may be stated that fat really costs nothing, though there is an expense incurred in securing it through the labor employed. Fat is derived from the food produced by plants, and plants during growth derive their fat (carbon) from the carbonic acid gas of the atmosphere tbroueh the agency of the leaves. Scientists are agreed that carbon cannot -be. applied to growing plants by way of the soil and roots. Lean meat, ou tbe contrary, is composed largely of nitrogen (the most expensive element in fertilizers), which must be procured and applied to the soil Butter is a product also that is really almost costless so far as the soil elements are concerned; but the skim miik takes from the soil the nitrogen and phosphates. A farm can never be impoverished by selling butter therefrom, but it can be reduced in fertility when milk is carried off, unless the elements be supplied m some other form. It may be profitable, however, to aell lean meat in preference to fat by securing a higher price for tbe whole carcass , the additional price added by the lean meat also increasing tne price of the fat. A Steer weighing 1.5C0 pounds sold at an increase of only 1 per cent, per pound will more than pay for the cost of the difference due for the more valuable elemeuts, and in that manner the fertility of the soil can be maintained. Fat, however, is also valuable as a marketable material, and it therefore will pay the farmer to have his animals fat and the meat well interspersed with lean, so as to combine both weight and quality at the least cost.

The Most Complete Newspaper in all Departments in the - State of Indiana. No newspaper in the West is more widely or more favorably known than the IndiasapOLIS JourntaIj. By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the wants of the reading publio, it has talten a leading position among the most prominent journals of the country, and is certainly among the best. Among the newspa persof the State it is pre-eminently the best, and Indiana readers can nowhere else find what they want in the way of State and local news. It circulates largely ia every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village of importance. Its market reports are prepared with the greatest care possible, and no pains or expense are spared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable. It is the only newspaper in the State owning and publishing all the news furnished by the two great press - associations (the Western Associated Press and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of the country. It has been, and will in future be. the aim of the publishers to make tbe LndianAFOLIS JouknaTj a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. The paper challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries. ' be approaoh of the great campaign of 1883 renders it desirable for every citizen to have a first-class ; newspaper; in fact, it will be impossible for him to keep fairly abreast of the times without such a paper. Great political battles are to be fought in the State atyl Nation, and their conduct and progress the JocbjrAL will carefully record. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Republican, should be without the JjournaIi in the coming campaign. While it is thorns oughiy and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to tbe interest of the Republican party, the JOURNAL will not allow its news to be colored by partisan bias, but will give the news of the day without fear or favor. The present session of the national Congress will be among the most important held in recent years, and questions of great national moment will be considered. Every citizen is interested in the pending legislation, and can keep himself thoroughly posted by a perusal of the Journal's news columns, in' which the doings of Congress will be fully reported. "In addition to its news features the JOURNAL re gSjles its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of the day.
