Northern Central Railways Annual Re-
port.-The forty eighth annual report of the
Northern Central r r. Company was issued
few days ago. Owing to the anthracite coal
strike there was net decrease in tonnage of
296,046 tons for the year. There was a slight
increase in the rate received per ton per mile,
but large increase in expenses. III.
The volume of passenger traffic shows an in
crease of 10 per cent. The net income ofth
company, after all fixed charges and other ex-
penses were provided for, was 81 TAG, $40, out
of which an per cent. dividend was paid,
leaving surplus of S829, 500.
The report states that on account of contem-
plated improvements the sum of 500, 900 has
been transferred from the surplus income for
the year to the extraordinary expenditure fund.
The extraordinary expenditures in improve
ments last year amounted to 1895, 4l0.
Increased Price for Hauling Milk.-On
Saturday last Messrs. Lewis NJ. Bacon, g.
Albert Mays and George E. Shelley, represent
ing number of milk shippers, held confer
ence with Mr.. H. W. Kapp, superintendent of
the Baltimore Division of the Northern Gen.
trail Railway, relative to the new rule for ship
ping milk which will go into effect ON that
road next Sunday. Under this rule the tariff
on all milk cans that carry less than five gall
Ions will be 10 cents and over five gallons or
under ten gallons 20 cents, with double the
amount for cream. At present many three
and seven gallon cans are shipped, and the
farmers complain that to charge as much for
the former as for five-gallon cans and to put
the seven-gallon and ten-gallon vessels on an
equality would be hardship.

other things he said:
1.-The important points under the farmers
control in the production of profitable crop
of corn are fertile soil, improved seed and the
best methods of culture. By farmers control
is meant that the corn grower can influence
the above conditions so that they may be made
to produce the largest yield of corn per acre
most economically. Any farming communi-
ty which practices one-crop system OF farm
ing is bound to eventually become poverty
stricken. The fertility of the soil is like a
bank account by continued drafts without
any deposits the balance will. sooner or later,
be found on the wrong side of the ledger.
The only way by which corn growers can con-
tinue to grow profitable crops is by feeding the
corn and hay crops to live stock and returning
the manure to the soil.
1.-The second important feature OF the grow
ing of a corn crop is seed corn. 1t has been
found that corn can be bred like cattle. From
the fact that we secure complete crop IN
single season the results from corn breeding
are secured more quickly than from animal
breeding. 1t costs no more to grow large
crop on the field than small crop. The sys-
tenn of breeding is as follows: The variety
must be kept pure and free from all mixture.
This is difficult problem in most cases, be-
cause the pollen will drift at least 50 rods.
The breeding must, therefore, be done where
the breeding field can be protected from other
corn fields
I'm selecting seed corn the ears should be OF
uniform size, shape, color and indentation. A
uniform product is the result of good selection
and breeding, so that it is very important that
the ears be uniform. The variety type should
be strong.
1.-The third important feature is the culture
that is, the preparing of seed bed, kind OF
planting and cultivation. The preparation Of
the seed bed should be of such nature as to
furnish the requirements for termination OF
the seed corn, moisture, warmth and ar,
The depth and time of blowing, the floating,
disking and narrowing of the seed bed must
vary with the soil and climate. However, the
general principles of a thorough fitting OF the
SOIL destroying the weeds before the corn is
planted and the securing OF mulch to prevent
the escape of soil moisture are the foundation
of successful corn culture"

Are due 10 indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble

heart disease, not organic. are not only

neer jenkins slightly injured For
several months stretch of less than
500 feet of the fill and trestle work
across the Lake has given the engl-
neers in charge unending trouble and
numerous minor accidents have occur

earth have been dumped into the sink
seemingly without effect. Once it seem
ed to be filled and track was built
across the EN- bankment. Next morn
Ing it had disappeared and it required

Two and three forty-fOot piles placed
end on end, have found no bottom and
the theory has been advanced that a

has been carrying away the material
almost as fast as it could be dumped

cross the lake has any trouble been
experienced and the engineers believe
that ultimately they viii find bottom
