The Helpful Hen.

Secretary +. d. Coburn of the State
Board of Agriculture has issued the
March quarterly. In 1t farm poultry,
under the suggestive title of "The
Helpful Hen," is treated of in a very
interesting and instructive way. At
tention is directed to the fact that dur
ing the year ending March 1, 1896, the
value Of Kansas poultry and eggs was
greater than that of any of the field
crops except wheat, corn and hay.
The amount would have paid all State
and city taxes and still have left $175,-
900. The value was nearly twice as
much as that of the lead and zinc
mines Of the State aud three-fOurths
that Of the coal mines. 1t was sufi-
Cient to have paid 86 per cent. of the
entire cost Of public schools. The

stock Yards Investigation.

When the Boston stOckholder of the
Kansas City Stock Yards Company
enjoined the company from putting in
effect the rates made by the Legisla.
ture for yardsge and feed charges,
Federal Judge Foster concluded that
before deciding the case testimony
would have to be given as to the rea-
sonableness Of the rates fixed. Ac-
Cordingly Judge George w. Clark was
appointed as special master to take
testimony in the case. For some time
the hearing has progressed, The State
Is represented by Attorney General L.
@ Boyle, E. G, Little and ex-Chief
Justice David Martin. 1t is clsimed
by the company that the rates are so
low that reasonable interest would
not be afforded on the capital invested.
The State alleges that the values placed
on the property of the company are
too high, that considerable of the stock
is wstered and that the rates fixed by
law would afford a reasonable profit on
the actual investment. A great part

States attorneys sllege that this is
merely profits carried to the stock &C.

be deducted from the capital stock and
the balance remaining be used as a
basis on which to figure profits.
There was a wide difference Of opin-

the improvements were worth 81, $685.

RAILROAD Rate HEARING.
The Commissioners Place Their Demands in
Writing and VIII Try and Force

Commission and the railway represen. =.
tatiVeH which was begun with view
TO reaching an agreement as to re.
ductiOn Of rates, did not result In &C.
compllshing anything. 1t was soon
discovered that 1t would be impossible
TO reach an agreement as to snyTeduc
tiOn. The railroads took the position
that rates were as low noW-Rs they
could be without resulting in positive
loss to the companies, and 1t was con-
tended that In some cases rates were
too low. The Commissioners insisted
that a reduction In rates could be
safely made and that rates were now
too high. The conference closed with
out anything more than a rambling
discussion Of the differences. The
companies, through their attorneys,
requested that the board put It's views
and wishes in writing AS the meet
Ing was called at the suggestion Of the
railroads TO reach an agreement and
thereby Obviate the necessity Of re.
sorting to legal proceedings, the Com.
missioners complied with the request
for q written statement 1t is az fol-
lows:
"DEAR SIR--At the conference held
between the representatives Of railway
companies doing business In Kansas
and this board, after the board had
verbally stated It's views with reference
to q reduction Of freight rates charged
by the several companies for tie car.
rying Of freight, the representatives of
the various companies requested the
board to submit to the companies It's
views and wishes In writing. In &C
cordsnCe Herewith ! am instructed by
the board to say that 1t deems the fol.
lowing reductions reasonable, and asks
that the same be made:
"a reduction of 20 per cent. upon
the distance tariff schedule now in ef
feet in the Stata.
"a reduction of 20 per cent. upon
lts existing coal rates
"a reduction Of IS per cent. upon
existing grain and grain product rates,
GA reduction Of per cent. upon OK
isting rates upon live stock.
'The board is Of the opinion that the
best way to arrive at this reduction, If
the companies will agree thereto, is for
the board to make an order covering
the above mentioned rates, and for the
companies to agree to put them In
force and effect within a reasonable
time. Yours very truly,
"R. w, TURNER, Secretary"
1t is quite likely that the railroads
will not be disposed to agree to these
demands. If this is not done the board
may take up the complaints relative to
determinations and excessive rates,
have a formal hearing for each, decide
that rates in line with the above de-
mands shall be established and at
tempt to force the roads to put them
into effect. AS evidence that this may
be done, the following extract from a
Supreme Court decision found on page
