Illinois Central Tells I. G. G. That
It Has Not Advanced
Grain Rates.
Chicago & Alton, North Western
and Rock Island Do Likewise
What They Say.

Washington, May 2.-The interstate
commerce commission has received the
answer of the Illinois Central railroad to
the complaint of the commission In the
matter Of the Illinois Centrals advance
of rates on grain and grain products. The
Illinois Central denies that any material
advances have been made on these com :
modites, but admits an increase in the
rates on wheat and flour from Omaha and
Council Bluffs, to Chicago and Mississippi
river points, of / cent a 100 pounds over
the rate which had prevailed from Sept.
II, 1902, to Dec. IA, 1902. 1t is asserted,
however, that this last mentioned ad-
vance merely restored the rate that had
previously prevailed. It is denied that
there was a general advance in rates on
grain and grain products from Sioux City
to Mississippi river points, Chicago and
intermediate destinations, but that on the
contrary the rates on wheat and flour
carried between those points was re-
duced 1 cent a 100 pounds.
The answer also says that the Illinois
Central does not publish proportional
rate from Missouri river points to Mis-
sissippi river points and Chicago but par
ticipates In the thru rates published by
the Union Pacific by way of Omaha AND
by the Willmar & Sioux Falls railroad
by way of Sioux City. The Illinois Cen
trail, it is stated, accepts certain division:
out of thru rates, but the divisions, 1t says

Railroads. Win In Tax Fight.

Lansing, Mich, May 1.-The supreme
court has knocked out the action Of the
state board of assessors in fixing the av-
erage rate of taxation of the state in as
sessing railroad property. The court holds
that the state assessor had no authority
to increase the value of property on the
theory that local assessors. had failed to
assess at its full cash value as provided by
law. The board is ordered to determine
the average rate from the assessments III
the local assessors. This will decrease by
about 100000 the aggregate taxes levied
against railroad companies.

GATHERING THE CORN.

The time for gathering corn is upon
us, and we must prepare to meet the
work and have it done in due season.
While the crop in most states will not be
as large as last year, we should be thank
full for what we have, take more interest
in the work, as this job comes.to. us but
once in a year, although 1t seems that
some farmers try to make it extend as
long through the year as possible

the corn will do to crib without danger
of spelling, and make the job come to an
end as soon as possible. like to have it
out of the field before the bad weather.
want the stalk field for cattle, and do
not like the job of shucking corn in cold,
wet and snowy weather. always try to
finish by Christmas; we do not have
much bad weather before that time. Last
year we had the worst time for gathering
corn that suppose we ever saw-nothing
but rain and mud, and in order to get the
corn out in season we were required to
wade in this mud, and great many times
the wheels would sink to the axle. Be-
sides that, the corn was blown down very
pduly, duu IL is uOWu sout NhlS
AS in all other work, there is some
danger in gathering corn If we do not
provide means to prevent 1t. In this part
Of the country (and suppose it is the
same in other .parts) during corn gather
ing time, it is nearly every day that we
hear of some neighbor losing his best
horse. A common expression: "Mr.
A. lost his best horse last night"
We ask what was the matter and get the
reply: well. he was gathering corn
all day, and"-we know the rest. A 15-
cent muzzle will often save $3.50 horse.
l have lost $3.50 horse by just such care
lessness.
always examine every ear of corn
when feeding a horse. | shake off the
worm dust on all ears that contain any.
Prevention is cheaper than taking the
chances of cure.
II II is convenient to use low wheel
wagon, we do so. Such wagon is all
right when the ground is solid, but all
ways keep it out of the mud. A wide box
has several advantages over a narrow.
It is easier to shovel out of wide box
than from a narrow one, and we are not
so apt to throw ears over as is sometimes
the case when gathering on both sides;
but very little of that is done, and, Of
course, every man who gathers alone has
high bump" board on the opposite side
of the box.

is the best time to pick seed corn, have
barrel handy and throw in the choice
ears, and later, when run these through
the shelter, discard the worst This Is

seed corn too closely. More of this work
and better work are what the farmers oi
this country need.-E. ]. Waterstorpe

and Kansas westward to the Rockies.
Extensive losses Of stock, attributed to
this species, are reported in New Mex
ico, Colorado and Montana. and to a
less extent in most of the other states
in the region mentioned.
"In Montana the white loco is found
throughout all the eastern plains, and
is not infrequent in the mountain
meadows up to 5000 feet altitude. 1t
= is very unevenly distributed, and ap-
pears not to be found in sufficient
abundance to be dangerous except in
the district from Livingston to Billings
and from the mountains on the south
northward to the Musselshell. and
around the Little Belt and Highwood
mountains.
'In some parts of the loco zone the
losses sometimes average as high as so
per cent of the lambs produced and in
several localities the sheepmen have
been compelled to dispose of their
sheep and stock up with cattle. The
loco is found mainly along dry rocky
ridges or gravel plains, but exhibits
great capacity for growing in nearly
every kind of soil. 1t is a relatively
recent introduction into the state and
is spreading from the infected centers.
"There is considerable evidence to
show that the buffalo were the original
agents of it's introduction, either
through having eaten the mature seeds
and then scattered them, or from their
habit of wallowing."
AS to exterminating the loco plant,
the bulletin states that experiments in
digging it at certain seasons of the
year have been most effective, and this
seems to be the only remedy.
