REPORT OF INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.
Returns From $50 Roads Show Gross
Earnings s1,oOS,OOs,s5S; Operating
Expenses 8677,e77,63B, Leaving Net
Earnings of SCHOLARSHIPS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The inter
state commerce commission has jus
issued preliminary report on the in
come and expenditures of railways il
the United States for the year ending
June 80, 1895, prepared by the Stats
tician.
The report includes the returns from
$50 roads whose reports were filed or
or before November o, 1895, and covers
the operations of 1889 miles Of line,
or 90 per cent of the total mileage in
the United States
The gross earnings were 1908, O02,
1853, of which S993, 465, 792 were from
passenger service, $6S3, O22, 99S from
freight, and S26,217,5 sos were other
earnings from operation, covering
earnings from telegraph, car mileage,
balances, switching charges, etc.
The operating expenses were S677, :
677,635, leaving net earnings 1925, 1855,
218, as compared with net earnings of
$500, l37, $40 for the same roads in 1894.
Reduced to a mileage basis, gross
earnings were $6,O96, operating ex-
penses were 4,119, and net earnings
were $l,077, or q decrease in gross
earnings of S13 per mile as compared
with 1894, and of $l,094 per mile as
compared with 1898; decrease In OPP
Grating expenses of $44 per mile as
compared with 1894, and of S757 per
mile as compared with 1893.
Net earnings show a gain over 1894
of 1871 per mile of line, but decrease
of S377 per mile as compared with 1893.
Passenger receipts fell off SLIT per
mile as compared with 1894, while
freight receipts show gain of Sl49
per mile. Passenger receipts were
1896 per mile less than in S1o93, and
freight receipts show a decrease as
compared with that year of S755 per
nile. These data are also shown by
groups, disclosing that the largest
gain in net earningt has been in
groups l., Ill, and TX.
Incomes from sources outside of the
operation of the roads were 1913, 057. 243,
making total income available for the
payment of fixed charges and divi-
dends 1858, 412, 461. Total deductions
from income, including fixed charges,
were 1896, 35l ,946, and dividends paid
were 1853, 1876, 545, leaving deficit from
the operations of the year of 1911, O75,-
O30. The dividends paid by the same
roads the preceding year were $61, 5O4,-
7s5.
The text of the report contains
brief discussion of the facts above pre-
sented, and is followed by a table
showing the earnings and expenditures
of each road.

In reply to inquiries regarding the
benefits Of sub-sOiling, and why it Is
necessary to sub-soil at all, the Prairie
Farmer has this to say: "Where sub
soiling has been practiced with sue
cess 1t has often been on farms where
faulty blowing has rendered the
ground cold and unrespOnslve. Each
farmer has a rule for the general
depth of blowing, varying with differ
emit farmers from four to eight inches,
but year after year the ground has
been broken at practically the same
depth. This naturally impacts the bot
tom Of the furrOw, and in few years
stratum Of 'plOw-pan' Is the result.
This hard layer resists the roots Of
plants and the crop is cut off from the
usual food supply. In dry seasons
this 'plOW-pan' hinders capillary action
and the surface soil rapidly becomes
dry. The remedy Is self-suggesting.
Change the depth Of blowing frequent
", and then use the sub-sOil plow, or
sub-soil tine to break this hard layer.
The process of sub-sOil blowing mixes
the sub-soil with the lower part Of
the surface soil, thus admitting rain
and air. Particular care should be
taken not to bring the sub-sOil to the
surface, as 1t Is not in a condition to
furnish plant food; but the sub'soil
should be gradually worked from the
bottom Of the furrow 10 the surface.
In this manner it becomes thoroughly
aerated and eventually perfect soil.
Then, again, sub-sOillng may be prac-
ticed with good results in wet seasons.
By breaking through the 'plow-pan
when there Is an excess OF water, or
on a wet piece Of land, we open up
the natural drainage and consequently
rid the surface of an over supply of
water. When cultivating wet pieces
of land planted to corn the writer has
often noticed that the points Of the
shovels would occasionally strike a
hard piece of ground and with all the
force that could be brought to bear
upon them they could not be made to
penetrate this sort of hard-pan. This
condition of the ground has been
caused, as stated above, by blowing
the hand at practically the same depth
year after year; and it was also no
ticed that whenever the blowing was
deep enough to break thE3ugh this
'plow-pan' that the surface soil dried
out and soon became of better texture.
We viii be glad to give space in these
columns for thorough discussion of
this question, both theory and prac-
Hce.

Irrigation the Thing.

Irrigation has come to stay, because
it is a success. 1t has already glad
dened the heart and frightened the
pathway Of many a Western farmer.
1t means a sure living and compe-
tence in the future. With the intro
duction of fish culture on your farm.
in connection with your irrigation
plant, these desirable results will
come quicker. 1t will not only add to
the beautiful home, surrounded by
groves, orchards, vineyards and gar
dens, which the transcendent power
and influence of water will make pos
sible, but it will enable you to raise
fish and bring a new food to your ia
ble-a change of diet which in all lges
9nd climes has proved beneficial to
the human family. Do not delay, for
delays are dangerous. Build your
ponds and reservoirs, dam the draws,
corral the springs and creeks. Keep
the live stock away from the reser-
voir and keep the water fresh, and
you will have a wonderful start to-
wards lettering your condition as
progressive farmer.-JOhn Fl. Church.

Don't Give In sheen.

Many sheep raisers have become dis
couraged by the low price Of wool.
OF course, thousands of sheep were
hurried to the market in various parts
of the country and the price Of NUT
ton went down also. Has not this
gone far enough, and In some In
stances, too far? Often there are
sheep pastures which are not Of much
value for anything else. The wool Is
always worth something; mutton Is
good food and always will be and can
not go far below beef. The c0nSump-
ton win never become less. A writer
in the Maine Farmer pleads for the
retention Of the sheep and the same
argument would often apply in Ohio,
and in other states. We quote from
this writer: "The reduction of the
focks that has been going on for two
or three years past has already left
many of these mountain pastures I'M
stocked. A few years thus left and
they will be overrun with bushes. 1t
then becomes question Of retaining
or of abandonment. Left to nature,
they are practically yalueless, so that
what has been an important adjunct
to the farm under this neglect is COM
pletely lost. We have in mind a large
tract Of these productive hill lands on
which two generations of occupants
have acquired a competence, and
which Is now practically abandoned
and left for nature to hide the marks
Of former thrift. On these cheap lands
sheep husbandry still may have q
place and return liberal rewards to
him who handles it judiciOusly.'

Keeping of Eggs.

Preservatlve compounds will keep
eggs for a while, but such eggs will
not be equal to those which are fresh,
and that is where the difficulty Is.
Those who wish to preserve eggs can
not buy them for that purpose, as the
different individuals from whom the
eggs are procured know but little re-
garding them, as they are collected
here and there on the farm, and the
fresh, stale and even the spoiled nest
eggs will sometimes get in among
them. If you wish to make a bust
ness of preserving eggs you must keep
your own hens, so as to know just ex-
actly what you are doing. You should
have no cocks with the hens, as infer
tile eggs will keep three times as long
as those which contain the germs Of
chicks. If they are placed in a cool
cellar, on racks, so that they can be
turned once day, they will keep bet
ter than If packed in close barrel or
box, as it has been demonstrated that
free circulation Of air and turning
the eggs is the proper mode. We do
not advise anyone to try the method
on a large scale, but to get dozen Of
fertile eggs and dozen Of infertile
eggs, lay them on their sides in a cool
place, turn them once day, and then
break an egg from each lot once
month, and you will know exactly
low long they will keep.

Now, when we start In to find out
the truth of the matter we must give
the cows a good chance. We need not
expect to make a profit out Of poor
cows, In the first place, nor out Of
poorly-fed ones, in the second place.
Don't condemn the cows unless they
are really to blame. Remember,
many good COW returns her owner
no profit simply because it is physi-
cal impOssibility to do so with the
food he supplies her and the care she
receives. 1t is clear case of give
nothing, get nothing"
Let farmers once apply as strict
business methods to their work as the
merchant does to his, and it will go
far toward Strengthening out the tan
gled web of affairs existing among
many of them. 1t would at least
show them what lines of farming are
best for them to pursue.-E. E. Rock
wood in Ohio Farmer.

White snecks In Rutter.

An experienced dairyman writes
that frequent cause Of white specks
in butter is the cream drying on top
so that 1t does not all churn out These
cannot all be washed out, but many
of them can be got rid OF in working
the butter, especially if it is worked
a second time. The second working
may be done in from six to twelve
hours after the first. Another cause
Of white specks is too much milk be-
ing SKINNED in with the cream. This
milk settles to the bottom, and If it Is
kept too long and gets too sour form
q hard curd, which is broken up in
churning and produces the specks.
These being heavier than the butter
can be washed out If the butter is
washed in the new granular form.
The prevention lies in avoiding these
conditions. This trouble is more often
encountered in gathered cream fac.
tories. A way to prevent having
specks in such butter is to strain the
cream when putting it into the churn.

POSTAL MATTERS.

Deficiencies In the Revenues of Over
S1O,OOO,OOO During Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Postmaster
General Wilson has made his first an
nual report to the president. The re-
ceipts of the postoffice department for
the year ending June 80, 1895. were
$40, 900, and the expenditures $780,
$780, 1t is gratifying, says the
report that large portion of the de-
fciency occurred in the first quarter
of the year, and that revenues are IN
creasing with returning prosperity.
Mr.. Wilson estimates the revenue for
the year ending June 80, 1897, at
$50, 1903, l2e, and the expenditures at
S94, OF, 600, the difference to be made
up by congressional appropriation.
Mr.. Wilson reiterates the necessity
for legislation to punish train wreck
ing and obstruction to mails, urged by
his predecessor, and recommends leg
islation authorizing the use of private
postal cards.

Large or Small Potatoes.

Should judges at fairs award pre-
miums to the largest potatoes or to
those Of medium size? Are the largest
specimens of as good quality as the
smaller ones? These questions were
recently discussed through the col
umns Of the Rural New Yorker. One
writer, who believes that big specl-
mems attract attention, says:
"Having exhibited vegetables and
farm products for upward Of ten years
have learned thai anything very
large is the most pleasing to the
crowd, who do not stop to test the
quality or even look at such specimens
as may be seen on the general maj
ket."
A New York correspondent writes:
"a potato that will weigh One-quarter
Of a pound Is about two Inches in d.
0meter and is of the smallest size al
loWable in sorting for market. When
potatoes of this size are used for
cooking, there is far more waste than
with larger onss and the quality is no
better than that of two pound potatoes
Of the same variety. The model pOta-
TO is kldney-shaped, has few eyes and
those nearly even with the surround
ing surface, and it weighs three-quar-
tiers Of a pound. Such a potato is
salable, but for use in a farmers fam
lily there is not the least objection to
those that weigh two pounds IL Of
variety not liable to be hollow"
A third correspondent says: "How
shall potatoes be judged at the fairs?
This is a hard question to answer, not
knowing who will be the judge. If he
be q man who knows what potato
Is for, he will give first place to me-
dunn size always. A good, fair sized
potato will sell best in market, and
any cook will say that she doesn't

Farmers Should De More Business
like.


One great trouble with farmers is
that they are not careful enough
about the business part of the work.
They do the work and let the profit or
loss come out as it may, without CIV
ing the matter thought, or, If they
do occasionally make spasmodic eff
fort at keeping accounts, it is soon dis
continued as making too much work.
How are we going to know "where
we are at" In any other way than by
keeping account Of the expenses con-
nected with dairying, for instance?
Nine out Of ten are "going it1blind"
year after year. They feed and milk
their COWS, and make and sell the but
ter, and then, at the end of the year,
know nothing about whether they are
any better off or not as to the dairy.
Don't you think many a farmer is
keeping COWS at a loss? Well, now,
do you think you are one of them,
yourself? How do you know about it,
anyway? Have you the figures to
prove that your COWS are a source of
profit to your 1t would be well for
every dairyman and every farmer
who does not claim to be, strictly
speaking, a dairyman, to try and as
certain Just where he stands. Guess
work Is a poor plan to go by. If we
are once convinced that we are losing
money, we may better stop dairying
and turn our attention to something
else.

THERE is at last one feature OF
Hawaii borrowing that is COM
mendable. The popular loan plan
has obtained almost without an
effort in that direction. 1t is in
fnitely better public policy for a
country to get dollar each from a
million people than mil
lion dollars from one man. The
popular loan is democratic insti-
tuition of the first value. The
paper Of this country is well distri-
buted. When shall its issuance
cease? Shall there be debt limit
These are fair, timely questions
meriting the most serious consider
alton. Many states arrange that
debt does not exceed certain pro-
portion to the taxable valuation.
That plan has the safety feature Of
being definite and appealing to
business instinct. . Some of the
greatest political economists of the
age give warm adherence to the
abstract principle that the obliga-
tons of a nation should at no time
exceed the paying capability Of the
generation contracting it. There
has been a habit of making too
heavy drafts on posterity.

PROCLAMATION.

The past year has brought varied ex-
periences to the Republic. With album
dant crops and fair business prosperity,
both foreign and domestic, have come
the critical incidents of domestic dis
turbance and dangerous pestilence; from
both of which the country has been
mercifully delivered with small loss of
life through the blessing of Providence
on the efforts of the Government and its
citizens.
In view of these things and other
countless benefits which have been
vouchsafed to us, l SANFORD b.

wall, recommend that THURSDAY, the
2sth DAY OF THIS PRESENT MONTH,

prayer for the continuance OF His favor.

A GENUINE small farmer of Ha-
wall writes urging that cattle be
fenced out of Waimea forest in the
interest of the Hamakua district,
Incidentally the correspondent sub
mits that the large land owners
should bear the expense instead of
the Government. He says the en-
tire amount required is $1,000.
The small farmer tells story old
in all countries. Cattle, fire or
lumbermen derange natures reser-
voir system and instead of being
stored and slowly distributed the
water cannot be retained in the
elevations at all and quickly runs
to waste. In this case it is princi-
pally cattle. They are wild ami
mails and have tramped out the
underground. The owners offer to
assist handsomely in removing the
pest.and the Government will be
asked to assist when the legislature
meets. Our Waimea friend also
invites a public land official to
come up there and have look at
the potato patches and wheat fields
and the comfortable homes Of the
settlers.

THE next best thing to sailing a
big yacht is probably managing a
little one. Interest in the new
sport of constructing and matching
miniature sloops has reached an
acute stage. A funny part of it is
that individuals who have classed
the pastime as childish, have be-
come the most tireless enthusiasts
after unwillingly accepting initia-
ton. OF the sixteen little sloops
that have taken part in today's Sue
cessful regatta, the majority are
built on lines Of famous racers and
are rugged with marvellous skill and
astonishing attention to detail.
The sailing of them over stipulat-
ed course involves an amount OF
calculation that elevates the opera
ton to the height Of all exact science.

the patronage of Kapiolani, in
honor of the birthday of her late
brother Kalakaua, cannot but con-
tribute healthy interest to the agree
able sport Of getting over the water.
