Habs; Up These Aphorisms The Fruit Cftrdea in Kavrly Winter IIm (ahold Hints and Fann Notes, Bees In December. American Agriculturist. This month Is a comparatively quiet one lor the bees, as there are scarcely any brood reared at this eason, except io the warmer climates. Still the beekeeper hai some matters of importance to attend to, foremost among which is the care of his empty brood combs, for they all contain more or less eggs of the moth miller. Ho if these eggs get there is Btill an unsettled question. Some beekeepers hold to the theory that they are deposited bv the miller on He bottom board, or about 'the entrance, and that the bees, when pa3s(ng in the hive, or moving about the bottsm beard, get them attachel to their feet or legs, and thus carry them among the combs. Be this as it may, the fact remains, the eggs are in the comb?, and, if stored in a warm place, will hatch and soon destroy them entirely. To prevent this, the cornb3 should be fumigated with sulphur before bein? put away. The safest way to keep the empty combs Is to stretch heavy Tires from one end of the room to the other, just far enough apart far the end3 of comDs to rest on. The combs should be about one inch apart, thus admitting light and free circulation of air between them. It is preferable that the C3mbs be stored in "a room in which the temperature falls below freezing, as then there is no danger from moths, and by hanging the combs on wires they are also out of the reach of mice, who are very destructive to combs. 8tore all honey in a wirm, dry place, to keep it as long as possible from granulation. Should your ex tracted honey granulate, set it in water on the stove until it returns to its liquid state. This destroys the grain, and as it does not come in con tact with the fire, the flavor is preserved, and the honey is not apt to granulate again for a very long period. Winter Killing of Fruit Trees. American Agriculturist. There ia a wide difference in the hardiness ol the different varieties of fruit trees. Some varieties endure severe freezing better than others. A variety that lives one winter may die the next, because of the changes surrounding it; and so a tender variety may live, when one naturally more hardy die. Sudden changes often work disastrously. This was seen in ' the winter of 1S53-4 in a belt of country extending from New York to Michigan. Qaince trees and pair trees on quince stocks were greatly Injured by rapid successions of very warm and intensely cold weather. The result was, that nearly all the trees not sheltered were destroyed, or so weakened that they continued to die till late in the summer. The warmth had promoted sap circulation, and the sap,' suddenly freezing, formed little crystals in the wood, which lacerated the fibres by every motion of the swaying trees. This cause may be supplemented by such a freezing and thawing of the limbs and branches as dries the life out of them. In all such cases the ?n jury to trees will be in proportion to the exposure, and so the protection of goo l windbreaks is of great importance. In that memorable season ot such wide spread loss, those trees that chanced to be sheltered from the winds escaped. It was also observed that the loss was not so great with trees on clayey soil that shed off the water, as on sandy soil that was filled with water. A wise precaution against winter-killing in sections where there is danger, is not to cultivate late in the season. The culture that stimulates a late growth of soft wood that does not ripen before the severity of winter sets in Is to be avoided. The immature wood is easily injured, the calls are ruptured by freezing and thawing, aud the disorganize! cells in the spr'mg are no longer able to perform their office. Secure an easy erowth of wood that will ripei in time to be ready for all changes of weather, aud you will have comparative security. Abuses of Live foult ry; Paring the summer weeks, live poultry suCer even unto death from overcrowding and insuUicent supply of water. In winter these much sutlerine creatures die from exposure to Intense cold. Tnese being the extreme ieas.ou3 of the year, persons not fe miliar with the horror of cooped-np life would be revocable in supposing that at least slight lo?s would hi experience! during the spring and autumn. That is the Inference. fcach is not the f.t. The heavy losses entailed by suffering from Improper moJss cf transit are heavy all the year round, and are increased under the icilaences of extreme heat and extreme cold. In the month ot 0-to ber, for example, the sides of the groat freight carrying railways leading into New York are strewn with the mortal remains of poultry that have succumbed to harh treatment. Ducks die most rtiilly when subjected to the combined hirdsnlps of jractot tern.d want of air; next to these, chickens süßer most; then turkeys and fowls and geese in the order named. To remedy this evil is the question. Shippers evidently make S3 much profit from their in vestments that they can afford the depletion in numbers, but can tbe consumers afford to pay such prices as will cover the deficit caused by inhumanity And sheer carelessness? We think not. Driving on tbe Kond. Tt is no'nse to push a horse unnecessarily. tald Oeorge r.horiDgln a recent speech. It is cot worth while. There is nothing rained by it. Never ask more of a horse than he can do. If he is naturally slowsralted. pommeling him cannot make him spry. You can never make him over. You a&tist take him as God gave him into your lands. You have got to use a horse as he Js given to yon, and be sure you can get xaore out of him by good than bad treat n Tit. Now then, some one will say ."Vhatare you going to do with a horse when he gets sick?" In the first placs you should stop his work instantly. A sick horse cannot work. A man can work when he does not feel qiite well. We have worked on often when too sick for work. bat with a horse it is different. If a horse dors not feel well you have got to stop him an once. Then send for a good veter lnariaa. A horse cannot tell yoa how he feels. He may have sore throat or disturb ance of the bowels, but he cannot tell yoa where the trouble lies. As soon as he hows isipns of disease stop him from his work and put him in the stable, and then end foi a veterinary surgeon. And when 1 tell that the most difficult pöble rn on earth, in pathology, is to ascutaln exactly what affects a dumb animal, I tell yoa exactly what these veterinary gentlemen know. Yon hone is lame. Well, where la he lame? He cannot tell you When he Jim a spavin as big as a hen's egg you know that he has a spavin, but how about it when It commences. Your horse is lame. In what rlace is his lameness? He cannot tell yoa. I arr.'blistered many a good horse for spavin

when it turned out that he did not have it My horse is lame. What is the matter? lie has the navicular disease or laminitis. Yes, but which? You cannot tell by what be says or what he does. You have got to feel your way on and take an expert who has made it a life study to learn what ails the horse when lame. I do sympathize with these gentlemen who are devoted to this subject of veterinary diseaee. They have got to work on symptoms and nse.thelr wisdom upon dumb beasts, who cannot tell what their ails are and what their sensations are. I know that the best education that the veterinary surgeon can boast is requisite. I know the criticisms they receive and the severe questions that are brought them for solution, and 1 sympathize with them deeply, but I know of nothing so important as to furnish them with proper education for the pursuit of their work, and when you remember the work that is theirs yoa can but admire their skill. They have to deal with plen-ro-pneumonia and hog cholera and trichinosis, and the most important problems for decision. Every man in this world should lend a hand to help them in their work and enable them to reach that decision which shall prove to be correct and remedial.- This is a little outside my subject, bat I tMnk it is true and I think it is due.

Light Colored Drain Tile, American Cultivator. Whenever there is Iron mixed with clay, tile or brick made from it will taru red uy burning. This color is really rati, watch the iron changes into when water in contact with it i3 evaporated. Farmers used to red tile or brick are naturally prejudiced against these of lighter color. Yat if these last are thoroughly burnel they are as tough and darable as any others. In Milwaukee, Wis., the absence of iroa in clay gives to the ) rick bnildiags of that city a stagnier cream-colored appearance. Years a?o, when lavicg tile, we' found occasional specimens of light color" but seemirgly ha'd as the others. At first these were looked upon as suspicious, and only U3ed at the outlet of drains, where their durability cou'd be watched. Of course they chipped off by freezing when wet, as any tile does, but they stood the test as well as the others. Certainly the cream-colored brick of Milwaukee, though in a hieb, northern latitude, where it has to endure severe cold in winter, Is durable enough. Oa the whole, it is doubtful whether color alone ia aay test on the value of tile. Blakiog a llome oa the Prairies; The first question to decide In making a home on the prairies is. What do you want to do? lo you want to make wheatraising a specialty? If so, Northern Dakota offers every inducement. Da you want to raise stock extensively? Then Northern Dakota winters are too long, and the cost of fodder will eat up the profits; but yoa can go beyond the Missouri and find a better lield open for this, or follow that river down, and you will find meu who have been in the business for a number of years. Southern and Central Dakota also offer many opportunities, especially the latter, on account of the small amount of snow that falls in the winter. For raising fruit and a general variety of farm crops, or anything but root c rops, or the more hardy varieties of grain, the winters in the North are too long and the summers too short, while ia Central and Southern Dakota, even in the shortest seasons, corn on breaking ripens well, and gives good crops when put in early. Wheat and oats also produce crops fully up to the average, and the range ot hills lying on the northern boundaries of Hand and Spink counties, furnishes some of the finest stock ranges east of the Missouri, the entire region being well supplied with grass and water the year round. Onarrel.Hoine Hull. The editor of the London Stock Journal writes as follows: "An American contemporary has just reported a fight between a Short-horn bull and a Clydesdale stallion, and expresses some surprise that the latter got the worst of it, being, in fact, killed on the spot. Such encounters are, unfor tunately, by no means unknown in England. Thrice have I known such quarrels to take place, and in each case the bull has come off victor. It is by no means uncommon for colts in the heyday of their youth to chase cattle, which llee before them, the colts biting their necks aod hindquarters as they run. A bull, a horned one at all events will not ran, and charges at the horse broadside with only too fatal a thrust. Having once come oil 'best' the bull will, when out of temper, attack inofienslve horses when grazing quietly. I recollect a man riding np on horseback to talk to his plow man, wno was worsmg a hull and an ox in the plow. The ridor wai sitting still on his horse, and, tbe plow moviDg toward him, was stopped lor the noontime. The bull, which was perfectly quiet among men, as soon as loosed from the plow. charged the horse, and witn one thrnst canted his bowels to gush out. And then he walked quietly to the stable with his companion ox. it is not at all right to leave a bull in the pasture where horses are. Sooner or later there is almost cer tain to be a quarrel, and although a bone broken may be the result to tbe bull from a kick, the more common result is a deadly wound in the stomach to the horsa. In Mexico the roads are reported to be not infrequently impavable to horsraen and wapous through the attacks made on the teams by bulls. Point of m Oo.nl Cow. Farm, Stock and Home. We are called on to give the points of a rood cow ana some suggestions that will aid a novice in baying satisfactorily. A cow is in her prime when she is from four to six years old, and the best paying time to buy is just after the birth of her second or third calf. Prominence and fallnets cf milk veins and velvety softness of bkin are good indications. The milk veins should run down on either side towards the udder, be easily perceptible; to the eye, or r.adily found by pressure of the hand. Their hair should not be hard, rough or italriDg. Symmetry, fallness and oftnes-s of the udder, which should be well spread oat, proj acting vebind the legs, and also reaching well 'oruard under the belly; it should feel -oft and thin to the touch, and an absence A i!eshinees!and thickness.The number and condition ot the teats should be natural: if one teat is lacking, a fourth less milk will be the result A cow s udder is not. 6S some suppose, a barrel with four taps, but is divided into four different compart ment?, called milk glands, each of which baa it own tap or teat. It is not only im portant that the fall number of teats be irerent and in working order, but it is ae tirable tbat they be well placed, not crowded together, bat well apart, and at pearly equal distances apart; they should he rather long and tapering. Another important point is auietnes and docility of disposition. These qualities are indi cated by large, mild ana clear eyes, ana sn air of contentment generally. A COW that is ouiet and contented feeds at ease. chews ber cud with entire satisfaction, and will secrete more milk than a restless, tur bulent animal, even If it has similar milk ing characteristics. Overshirts for Stable Use. A correspondent of tbe Indiana Farmer writes: 'Xet every lair whose nusoana, l rother, or sons have the care of horses see that each one Is provided with two suitt r other goods. These should be kept l andv at tbe stable and after use left there. The groom can then go to meals with no l one odor or stable taint about his clothes, find no loose balrs to be flying around.

Many farmers are practicing this plan, and to my certain knowledge with perfect eatif faction. They say that, aside from any horse odor, the sense of wearing clothes not permeated with filthy horse dust ia worth more than all the expense and time of slipping on and off their overshirts. Another advantage is in the wear of clothing. The dirtier it becomes, and the more it has to be washed, the sooner it wears out. The extra wear of clothes will cost more than the overshirts. There are many other kinds of work for which such shirts are specially adapted. One of the best hands 1 ever employed was the most particular about keeping his clothes clean."

Hang Up These Aphotisms, American Agriculturist. Farm animals are hart more by medicine than by the lack of it. When an animal needs medicine, it needs a competent physician. Tare water and a variety of wholesome food regularly given, with comfortable shelter and kiiid treatment, are the best preventives of disease. A mortgage on the home makes the fireside gloomy, for it snnts out the sunshine ot prosperity and freeheartedness. Borne men look at the sky only to forecast the weather, see more beauty in a dollar than in a bed of flowers, and will hear the crow in a cornfield quicker than the lark in the air. Better is it to have one pairrof trousers with money In the pockets,;than.two pans with empty pockets. llhe hone knows all that the colt teamed, and boys tormenting the colt are not Uachicg it what it should know.

Th"rosn'who fills his ice-hous nrovwl a himself with a conservator of health and a servant of pleasure. Whet is Baid about keeping animals warm during the winter does not apply to manure. Smokine ia more injurious to the compost heap than to boys. Tbe man too poor to take the American Agriculturist, or to bay his wife a calico dress without grumbling, is rich enough to afford the lightning rod peddlers and sickle-grinder frauds fine picking. The Fruit Garden la i:trly Winter. December is often a prolongation, as to weather, of November; in fact, of October, also, and work suitable to those months may be continued. However mild in the first days of the month, coid often shuts down with a snap, and we should be prepared at any day for the announcement tbat "winter ia here." Sometimes it is even mild enough to continue tree planting, but if the Boil is all frozen, leave the trees where they are. If well heeled-in, they will be perfectly safe until spring. Young trees shouid he stiffened by a mound of earth at the base, which will also protect from the attacks of mice; robbing the trunks with bloody meat, or eprinkling with blood from the slaughter house, to dlFgust and repel rabbits. A shot-gun is very killing, and fat rabbits are good eating. Make surface drains to carry off the wafer from young orchards. Cut cions before severe weather, label, and store in sawuußt. Farm Jintes. Rye is one of the best things yon can sow for fall, winter and spring pasture. There are well-authenticated instances of alfalfa producing good crops from forty to sixty years after the sowing. The ant is thought to be an enemy of many injurious Insects, Particularly plant lice, which are so often destructive to the foliage of apple tiees. There are In this conntry. according to the government statistical bureau report, 4 1,712,830 head of hegs, breeding animals and young pigs. The cultivation of the bamboo for fencing material has been began in California. It is said that an acre will produce pickets enough each year to make six miles of fence. In filling walls with sawdust, whether for silos, ice-house or rcot-bine, the saw dust ibouid be dry and well packed down. or it will shrink and Bettle and leave empty spaces.X. 6 hTJCZT". - A Mifsonri farmer's wi.'e has found that the best way to save pumpkins for winter ppe is to stew and can them like fruit.

Argus The estimate is usually made that a Lrc horn or Hamburg cock may be mated with fifteen bens; a Wyandotte, Plymouth Kock. Houdan or LaDgshan, with twelve; a Minorca with fourteen, and a Brahma or Cochin with ten. A twenty-acre farm at Carrollton, Mich., produced this year thirty tons of hay. $1,000 worth of raspberries, a'JO bushels of strawberries, 300 bushels of onions, 290 bushels of potatoes and 200 bushels of corn. The total receipts were I-', 150. S Old leather contains considerable per centage of ammcnia compounds, which, though said to be insoluble, are, in fact, verv slowly soluble. A eood way to dis pose oi old boots, inereiore, is to bury them at the loot oi an apple tree. Bone If one of the best substances that ran be fed to the hens. Ground or brok cn tbe bone is highly relished. It not only contains lime for shells but also n Itrop; and the phosphates. It should be kept before the hens in boxes ail the time. Dr. Salmon says there are two conta gious diseases known as hog cholera one liecting the boweis, the other the lunzs. Tbe one Is the jenulne bog cholera, tbe other the swine plague. It is possible for an animal to have both diseases at the utme time. To tret rid of cockroaches sprinkle their bsufita thickly with powdered hellebore or with Persian powder. This can be done Ith the ordinary sprinkler made for the nnrDOBfl or with a common dredeinz box. The application must be made repeatedly ana constant vigilance exercised until tne pebta are exterminated, or they will get the upper hand. When the wool onyer comes ronna tne farmer wishes he had looked after his sheep a little more closely, cut dowa the bur and brier buehes ana removed the tags in the spring. A dirty fleece weighs more, but tbe buyer Is keen-sighted, aud is eure to deduct from the price paid for rood, clean wool snore than enough to make up for tbe extra weight, isear this lesson in mind, and keep the woal clean next year. Smut and mo'd on corn and carnstalki are often iniarlous, and. under some clr camstancca, absolutely poLsouooa to stock.

They produce in cattle a disease called stomach staggers. Small doses of sulphur are said to be helpful to stock thus affected. Smutty corn should never be put in the crib. It should be gathered at husking time and burned. If allowed to go to crib other corn will be affected, and the disease will increase the following year. A poultry raiser up in New York State makes his hens work for their victuals. lie says: I like to feed some ear corn to my chickens. I feed about half in this way. The ears are thrown ca straw and the birds peck and scratch away at them. They have to work hard for every kernel (ney get, and this working keeps them lusy and oat of mischief. Besides, it is the working hen that pays; a lazy hen 13 like a lazy man. The following preparation applied to the surface will prevent any rusting on ploughs or any other metal surfaces: Melt one ounce of resin in I gill of linseed oil, and when hot mix with two quarts ot kerosine oil. This can be kept on hand and applied in a moment with a brush or rag to the metal turface of any tool that is not going to be used for a few days, preventing any rust and saving mach vexation when it is to be used again. Cows, if allowed to fall off in their flow of milk, will not usually regain it. If the pastures are deficient supplement them with fodder, corn and rations of corn meal, ground oats and bran. In the cooler days of this month and those that follow, excellent butter mav be made, equal to that made in June. Cows to calve in .winter should be dried off about two months before their time, and be well fed while dry, Agriculturist. - Farmers and gardeners could very profitably spend more time visiting markets and learning how to prepare and pack their produce to as to get the best prices. 11 specially true is this of vegetables, fruit and butter. Most people buy to please the eve, and it a thing looks nice they are willing to pay a fancy price for it. Qaality is a good thicg, bat appearances are of ten more important in fixing : prices than is quality. The unprecedcitly large corn crop this year in the South will relieve the people there of the necessity of paying high prices for Western corn. The report of the Agricultural Department gives figures tbat show an increese in the yield of corn in the Southern States over last yaar of 37.000,003 bushels. Owin to the abort yield in the West, this increased yield will be of immense benefit to every business interest in that section. The Btrange worm tbat recently raaie its appearance in the Central aud Western States, receiving tbe name of the parsley worm, has received no little attention. A Kansas farmer s3 SOf this worm: "When I first noticed it in August I compared it carefully with the worm that works in the end of the corn ear and found them to be identical, with the exception that the parsley worm had a darker green color, probably from more exposure to the sun. Here is a suggestion from a lady whoclaims that eggs can be preserved for a year or more if the pores of the shell are closed. Owing to the porosity of the Bhell a luid is constantly passing out, and this evaporation is greater in warm weather than in cold. To stop this the eggs need to be smeared with any fresh grease. Wipe off any surplus oil, then set them on the small end in bran in close layers and keep them in a cool but not freezing place.

To kill gophers, a Minnesota farmer says: Take a small bottle of strychnine and pulverize it, mixing it with half a pint of greaee fried out of the best breakfast bacon, rut this mixture into five or six quarts of corn and stir until every grain is thoroughly greased over. Strew these savory kernels three or four feet apart arourjd the entire field on the edge of the ploughing. The gophers generally burrow in the unbroken sod near by. Tney smell the bacon and get the poison Immediately and continue to come to the feast until all are quieted. Where the stables are daily cleaned, a manure pit for the preservation of tbe manure must be provided. This pit should have abeut double the stable surface. should be two feet deep and have a wall or ridge around the outside at least a foot higher than tbe surrounding surface in order to exclude water daring rains. It is not necessary to cover the pit, as the amount of rain or snow falling upon tbe manure win not more than compensate for the evaporation. The bottom and sides of the pit should be impervious to water, so as to prevent loss of the soluble constituents. Fifty cents Invested In linseed oil. asd an hour's time applying it to your wagon wheels win save you the expense of having the tires of your wagon cut or ttovfd," and, perhaps, a break-down or trouble of some kind when you least ex pect it. rut the oil into a hullo r vessel and hf at it as hot as yon can. liaise the wagon wheel as when oiiina: the spindle. and place the vesFel undr so tbat the rim will paas through the oil.

The profits of a small flock of sheep are usually very large, and probably no in vestment the larmer can make pays so large a dividend. It may be claimed that a profit of r0 per cent crh be annually made, and exceptional instances are re corded of the wool and lambs at tbe end of tbe year paying the hrst coat. Sheep are the greatest success npon cbeap lands, as it would be difficult to have an acre of f 100 laDd afford subsistence for sheep enough to make it pay, an argument that would apply as well to other stock, though no otber stock pavs so complete a dividend as does a sheep with her fleece and lamb. II. K. Alvord is credited with the follow ing expression as to the effect of ensilage on butter: Butter from cows fed on ensi lage stands in the first class in our most critical markets, and has bo done for some years. I do not mean to refer to extreme cases of irrational, exclusive feeding of ensilage, or any approach thereto. On the use of ensilage I am no enthusiast or extremist, but I believe it to be a valuable in most cares an invaluable addition to our list of foods for cattle; for dairy cattle and buttermakers at that. And, to my mind, it is well settled that the market (the will of the great majority of the best buyers) approves the use of good ensilage as part of the ration for butter cows aa on a par with roots and grain and bay.

Burned With TheirOome. Wausau, Wis., November 2. A horrible holocaust occurred in this city at 3 o'clock this morning. A building occupied as a residence by Carl Honikel, his wife and five children, was consumed by fire, and before assistance could reach them three of ths children perished, and the other two and father have since died of their injuries. Mrs. Honikel is still alive, but her inj tries are of a sorious nature. The bu U1 wai a wooden structure, double bo:; ' d, filled In with aawdust and very i :'ammable. The front was U3ed for bleeping rooms and the back a i kitchen. The re Btarted in the kitchen, And the family were dc-cbtless asphyxiated before they were reached by the flames, The fire department were very slow in responding to the alarm. Chief Gebhardt, of the fire department, tock everybody fro.n the burning buildings. Honikel was a hard working, induaterious German. Wneu dragged through the window he had clasped in either arm the inanimate bodies of two babies. The cauaualty is one of the most dreadful that haa happened in this vicinity, and what makes it seem worse is that the building was fired by an incendiary. Mrs. Hcnikel has, since recovering conBciou?nesff, and on learning tbe fate of her husband and children, raved like a maniac, and it is feared that even if she lives she will be hopelessly insane. AnxinurV) be Whipped Again. New Yore, November 26. A morning peper says: "A Btrong eJort is being made by those members of the Knights of Labor who still remain true to Mr. Powderly, to unite more firmly the remaining ranks of tbe Knights, and prove by results that the present management is a satisfactory as well aa a successful one. The one method by which this can be demonstrated to the workingmen is through the successful issue of a strike. There has not been any large strike of which the oflicers of the organization has control since the dismal failure or the Mongshoremenjand the coal handlers, nearly a year ao. The few Btrlkei tbat have sine taken place have been email affairs and lasted a Bhort time only. But tbe labor leaders long for another time when they can 'tie up' every surface road in this city. Now, it is said that trouble will occur on some one of the surface roa ls, on what road it is likely to be, though, is not known at present. But the Third avenue line has been filled np strain with union men who never forget their whipping two years ago, and are anxiou to fight the battle 07er on the same ground as before. This Is hinted at as tbe next road to be struck. The company, Victorian before, although at a great cost, will undoubtedly refuse to grant any demand that may be made on it. That will cause a strike, and general 'tie up' to follow will show how firm the organization is."

The CourierJournal this mornlnt publishes a compre bensive and valuable review or tho leat tobacco situation, showing the facta of the vicldand supplv against the averages ot consumption. When it is considered that Kentucky produces it per centot the total la( tobacco crop of tbe United States, and Ohio and Missouri produce 73 pr cent of the total crop of the United btates, it will be ecen that the summary is ot- general in terest. The following are the main points of the article: Tbe Western leat crop loots up 70,000,000 pounds or 20 per cent of recnt averages, and the K astern leaf crop 72.000.000 pounds, or M per cent, aeciease.

The Western barley crop is 37,000,000 pounds, and the dark and heavy

crop 39,000,000. In conclusion the review states: "In this historical year of the tobacco trade, Louisville has much more than maintained her former pre-eminence as the principal tobacco market of the United States, and indeed of the world.

STANDARD OIL CASES. Store Evidence Showing Peculiar Methods on the Fart of Railroads. WAsniNGTOs, November 25. ß. F. Mitchell, General Freight Agent ofi,the Western divis-'on of the Newport New and Mississippi Valley Railroad, was the first witness examined to day before the InterState Commission in connection with the Standard Oil Company. In respect vo the fact of a difference la rates between oil transported in tanks and that carried ia barrels, and to the reasons justifying euch difference his testimony was substantially like that of the other freight men who preceded him. lie declared that his company invariably charged for transporting oil in tank cars at bo much per car, .irrespective of itsjeapaclty. Thereupon a series of logs were produced shoving that he negotiated with complainant, making rate on a capacity of 20,000 pounds per car, and a rate on the excess. Witness' only explanation was tbat the amanuensis must have interpolated matter into the dictated correspondence in each case. Other letters not easily explainable in harmony with the law were also produced. John U. Gaalt, general manager of the Cincinnati, New Organs and Texas PaciCc h'ailroad, was sworn, and his evidence was s rut:ar to that given by the general freight af nt of the p&me company. Same questions were asked with respect to the rela tionc between the witness' road and the Louhville and Nashville, and it d-viloped. rather under protest, tbat there had been a disagreement in policy EO.se time back, owing to the determination ot witneas' company io give Btrict Interpretation to the iator'ate commerce law, while he was crai- ; int of a determination on the part of the management of theothjr roads practically .o igaore the long and short heal feature of the law on the theory that the "circumstances and conditions vrere alvrs.ys such as to justify the rates." "If the complainant relies npon specific instances of discrimination he 6hould file a statement in the nature of a bill of particulars; but if what he expectad to show is only a general course of oa duct, the effect of which is to work a discrimination, as between the Standard Oil Company and himself, a bill of particulars is not essential. Complainant's counsel say it is the general course of conduct they rely npon." Secretary Lamar in his annual report will recommend that the inter-State system commerce commission be made independent of tbe authority or supervision of the Interior Department, and that it be made directly responsible to Congress or the President, as nothing in the duties ol 1 tbe commission are within the usual authority or control of the department.
