Freight Handling in Europe Lessons for U S Transport
W C Gregg argues Europe’s canal boats and small freight cars show cheaper transport costs. Canals long predate railways, forming a vast net with 200 to 300 foot canal boats moving fuel and building materials by horse power. Small freight cars enable carload rates for ten tons, reducing rehandling and delays. The piece suggests adopting handcarts and wheelbarrows to cut costs rather than urging policy change.

Feeding and housing tips for laying hens in free range
When on free range fowls gain variety from several feeds and grain alone risks fattening rather than eggs. Use colony houses or rat-proof buildings for setting hens and brood crops with tight floors to protect eggs. Old hens can yield meat, but a flock should aim to produce both meat and eggs full time.
