THEY WANT AMENDMENTS.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSION.
Washington. Dec. 20.-The ninth annual report OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission, transmitted
to Congress to-day. Is largely given up to defects
in the law and amendments necessary to carry out
its purposes originally intended by its authors
The defects reported to result chiefly from the
Interpretation Of the law by the courts which have
held some OF its provisions unconstitutional, espec
iay those relating to the attendance of witnesses
and their testimony. The question is in the
supreme Court. Other provisions have been con-
stru,d as To cause delay. amounting TO a denial OF
remedies by reason Of the Commissions orders no.
being enforced with pTomptncss.
Some additional legislation Is asked for in
spect the making OF schedules OF rates and joint
tarins-wha shall bc their form and what they
shall contain. Ticket brokerage Is again
demncd. In respect 10 the Safety Appliance law IL
s suggested that the position OF hand-holds should
bc uniform also that the standard height OF draw

Apple culture requires more care
than any other crop. A few years ago
plowcd my apple orchard three years
in succession, gave il a heavy dressing
of stable manure and raised corn the
first year, potatoes the second aud
seeded down with barley the third sea-
son. and got the heaviest crop of appies
ever grown on this farm. Some say that
this method over-stimulates the trees.
What if it does? a double crop of large,
smooth fruit for ten years ought -
satisfy us as well as an average crop
for 20 years. believe if every
farmer will follow this experience ana
spray his trees thoroughly he would
agree with me that, take it one year
and another, the apple is the most
profitable crop on our New England
farms. Painting the trunk with lime,
soap and water will destroy many M
sects that do irreparabe injury to the
fruit trees.-Sidney A. Ellis.
