It is thought that the bill for commis- sion to regulate railroad fares and freights will pass the House. The Senate Con- mittee has not yet reported. The West seem in earnest in this matter and no doubt will get all the legislation they re- quire. The only serious objection to the proposed method is the difficulty of ind ing commission of politicians so honest that the railroad companies cannot buy them up. In the mean time the legisla- lures of Wisconsin and Iowa are passing laws regulating fares and freights in those states

 Mir. P. c. Cummings, formerly superin- tendent of the Farmers Milk Go. has been publishing long communication in the Winsted Herald from which we make the following extract:
 This F. M Co.,, has always been cramped and crippled for want of capital. They com menced business in New York. March 18th, 1873, and at that time they had about S4OOO. and from that time up to Nov. 4th, 1873, they collected on subscription that about S9O00, more making in all about SIS. QUO, and I do not know how much has been collected on subscription since that time. I speak of this because people generally expected great things of this F. NJ. Co.,, and are manifesting great disap- pointment. All who took stock expected, and had right to expect, better returns for their milk than they could get from commission men, because they put in their own money to do the business. But thls large amount of capital stock, has thus far amounted to but little, because 1 it has not been collected, and the F. M. l O., have not as much money to do busi- ness on, as most commission men in New York.
 The four thousand dollars first paid in, was more than two-thirds expended for Books, Check Books, Engine for churning &c., Stationery, Bill Heads, First Months Rent, Slips, Tickets, Cards, and the Pre- sident's expense bill.
 look back to the causes that origina- 1 ted this F. M Co.,, and the objects propos- ed to be accomplished by its formation, and am compelled to say, it has failed to accomplish the object. I look at this F. M. Co.,, as it is, and as it has been do. ing business, and cannot see how it can ever revolutionize the great business of New York. If farmers wish to make this Company a success they must put in their money so that there will be capital enough to take all necessary advantage o1 the market and the business. generally, They must have capital enough to be fell in New York market. They must control at least two thousand cans daily, The business must be done by men who know what is wanted, and know just how to dc 1t. A plenty of money and experience is what is wanted; money enough to take every advantage of the business.
