Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation. notably the celebrated Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indi- gestion, dyspep psia, constipation, ner- vousness and general debility.

DOUBLE DEALING OF THE
RAILROAD COMMISSION
Deceives the People With the Pretense of Reduced
Rates, but Makes Actual Effort to Secure
Reduction on Farmers Produce.
PROPOSED ORDER WOULD
ONLY AFFECT SEVEN TOWNS
And the New Rate Would Apply Only to Articles

posed to Put the Rate Into Effect
The Whole Thing a Deliberate Deception.
The Whole Thing Deliberate Deception.

For the last six months and, indeed,
ever since John Lind determined to
stand as the candidate of his party
for governor. the railroad and ware
house commission has industriously
employed itself in the work of making
campaign capital for the Democratic
party, and has made pretentious
claims to the saving that it would
accomplish to shippers in the lowering
of freight rates. A great hue and cry
has been raised by the Democratic
press of the state concerning the COM
missions famous order to the compa-
MES to lower their rates upon certain
classes of freight; or, in the event OF
their refusal to make such reductions.
to establish terminal points at various
Of the smaller cities throughout the
state.
This widely-advertised scheme was.
as all well informed persons knew at
the time, simply political manoeuvre
which it was never expected or intend
ed to develop in the shape of an actu-
al reduction of rates, or to actually
bring about any substantial changes
in the matter Of tariff charges. It
might be well. for thorough under
standing Of the case, to give brief
history Of the proceedings leading up
to the late order Of the commission.
In February, the commission called
on the railroads to appear before that
body and show cause why the dis
tributing rates made by reason OF the
great shipment out from the distrtbut-
ing centers. should not apply between
all cities in the state. The attorneys
for the railroads appeared before the
commission and asked IL any COM
plant had been made. citing the law
under which the commission was au-
thorixed. to order revision Of rates,
upon complaint being made" The
commission admitted that no such
complaint had been lodged. The mat
ter ran on for some time, being care
fully kept before the public by the
commission through the medium Of the
press. The position was then taken.
and has since been adhered to, by the
attorneys for the roads, that the
wholesale idea obtained In the matter
Of shipping. just 10 it would In the
matter OF barter and sa1e-in other
words, that point from which freight
was shipped by the thousand tons

single ton. After repeated conferences
between the governor and the COM
mission, some time in the month OF
August the commission served notice
on the roads that it proposed to adopt
rates on merchandise, and the rate to
be adopted would be reduction upon
the then existing rates between all
cities, to an extent approximating Is
per cent. This reduction, it will be
observed, applied only to merchandise,

Der, coal, binding twine and such arti-
cles, coming under the classification Of

The commission distinctly stated in
It's order that nothing herein shall be
taken as proposing a cancellation or
modification Of any existing tariff. ;"
That means, in plain unmistakable
terms, that the proposed reduction
could not, in any way, affect the rate
on the following named commodities.

the order Of the commission from the
proposed reduction, namely: Brick,

the scale, and in general the life his
tory is like that of the oyster bark
lcuse. The larvae also hatch during

scale prefers the pear among, orchard

Selling Crops.

A communication from the Vermont
Experiment Station says: An old adj
age hath it that closing the barn door
after the theft of the horse is not the
best method of preventing burglary.
Yet it is held to be worth while as
discourager of further pilfering.
The dairyman who within the past
few weeks has seen his COW ssssseasssss
and his creamery checks Owlndling
feels inclined to shut the barn door
and stop the loss. How may he 90 this
lest. Ii lie has planted soiling crops
like peas and oats, Hungarian millet,
and the like and has been supplement-
ing the dying pastures with green feed
in the barn or yard, he has closed the
door before rather than after the theft
has prevented rather than cured.
Moreover, the necessity for the sum-
mer feeding of grain is greatly les
sened. If he has no recourse to soil
ing crops, nothing but buying grain
can lessen the shrinkage. The Yer
mont experiment station has for many
years experimental with sundry soil
ing crops, and as a result of it's work
recommends to Vermont dairymen the
large use of summer silage and of oats
and peas sown at weekly intervals and
fed during July and August.
Silage is probably the cheaper food;
oats and peas somewhat the BETTER If
the former is contemplated as steady
summer diet for years, it would be
we'll to consider the erection of a spe-
cial summer silo, preferably round,
with small feeding area, small
diameter and relatively great depth.
Silage spread over large surface in
summer, spoils rapidly and loses large
ly in feeding value. If oats and peas
be chosen they should be sown in sue
cessive lots at weekly intervals, the
two sown separately, the peas first
rather deeply and narrowed IN; the
oats two or three days later and
pushed in. A better catch is likely t.
be secured in this way than if sown
together. The crop may be either fed
green, hayed or put in the silo. Let
those whose July and August milk
yields prove disappointing try silage
or oats and peas next year. They may
not be panaceas, but they will help
greatly to overcome chat tired feel
ing" which afflicts so many Vermont
dairymen when midsummer creamery
returns come in.
