M Railway Rata Lsgltlatlon. At the biennial convention of the Or der of Railway Condui-tora recently lield at Portland, Oregon, resolutions worn unanimously adotel voicing their aentlmenta aa to the effect ol propose railway rata Irglslation on the 1,300,. 000 railroad employee, whom they in part repreeented. Tlieee resolution "Imlorso the attitude of , President Itooeevelt In condemning aecret rebates and other 1 1 legal i lira, and commend the attitude of the lieada of American rail waya, who, with practical unanimity, have Joined with the president on thla question ." They then reaped fully joint out to congress the "Inadviea, billty o! legialation vesting in the handa of a com m Inn Ion power over rail v way ratea, now lower by far In the United Stales than in any other coun try," becauaa aucb regulation would "reault In litigation and confuaion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduc tion in ratea, irreepectlva of the quee tlon of the ability of tha rallroada to '.and tha reduction, eepeclally in view of tha increaaed coat of their euppliea and materials." They further pro teated agalnat surh power being given to the present Inter-Btate commiaalon becauaa "the proposed legialation ia not in harmony with our idea of Amer ican jurisprudence, inaamucb aa it con templates that a aingle body shall have tha right .to investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions . at the cost of tha carriers, pending ap peal, which la manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation, if any, as would "secure and Insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned," on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efllciency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and de velopment of territory, while at the same time recogn'tion has been given to the value of intelligence among em ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest wsges to employes obtain." In pressing their claims against leg islation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of tho country."

I used tbret tons of fertilizer from one of our largo packing companies In 1003. I used It on my corn field, put ting It in the hill with the corn plant er; thla was on black sandy loam. I bad a good crop of corn, but as my soil was In good condition I was un able to say how much benefit the fer tilizer was to me, if any; therefore, In loot, I made up my mind to give It a thorough teat as far as my farm waa concerned. Thla year I used five tons. This fertilUer came from a dlffereut pack lug company from the first lot, but was supposed to Us the same as to Ita chemical value. We used l.OOQ pounds to acre, mainly, as In the first year; still we planted strips through our fields with 200 pounds per acre, and In the same field we lift strips with out sny fertiliser. The first two months we thought we could see a little advantage In favor of the corn that had the fertilizer, but later on, fcnd at busking time, we were unable to see that the uae of the fertilizer was of benefit to us.

During an English farmers' meeting. the chairman hud suggested that he should Instruct his teamsters to hold their wagons across the road whin autos were approaching at a furious rate. He received the following aruus Ing communication: "As I doubt the power of the average farm laborer to distinguish between the Innocent and the guilty, I offer my services. I hold a discharge as a sergeuut from the army, and am a trained shot .At leaat fifty autos pass my house every day. With an ordinary magazine rifle I could get about thirty dally, and I offer my trained aerrlces to the cham ber at a charge of alx pence per head. I should like to know to whom to for ward the heads. I could use explo sive or poisoned bullets If so de sired." How Bandar Affect a the Cowa. The manager of the Wisconsin ex perimental farm once said that he could tell the Sundays In the calendar by looking at his milk record, which showed the dally yield,, because the quantity obtained was Invariably smaller than on a week day. "Our men milk a little Inter ou Sunday morning, and a little earlier at night probably hurrying the operation, and the cows resent the treatment by giv ing a somewhat smaller yield of milk." It was observed, also; apropos of the necessity for kind and gentle treatment of dairy cattle, that a new hand obtained less milk from a cow5 than she would yield to a milker, not necessarily more expert, to whom she was accustomed. , The Oat Crop, The oat crop Is one that requires n great deal of moisture throughout the season, and the best crop Is assured by preparing the soli so it will con serve moisture. The reason the old plan of seeding oats In corn stubble falls so frequently Is because the ground Is stirred shallow and wet ear ly In spring time aud when a few weeks of dry weaother come it bnkes as hard as tho rotid aud remains In this condition until harvest It Is not a good plan to be In too big a hurry about sowing oats. When the ground has dried out so it is In good condi tion to break then start the plow. Ohio Farmer. Bod Ilousea and Telephone.
