LITIGATION OVER RATES.
Attitude of Interstate Commerce Com
sion Attacked in Brief.

CHICAGO. October 31.-The attitude of
the interstate commerce commission in the
regulation of rate upon live stock and live
stock products, which has been the subject
of litigation before Judge Bethea, is at
tackled in a brief which Attorney Edward
Baxter, representing the Chicago Great
Western and several other roads. filed yes
terday. The document contends that the
commission erred in the decision rendered
and that the effort to secure an injunction
to enforce this ruling of the commission
would be unjust and grossly injurious.
The commission held that the Great
Western had right to change the rate on
packing house products to increase busi-
ness, but should not have unduly discrimi-
mated against another sort of traffic-the
livestock traffic.
Attorney Baxter also holds that the COM
mission erred in holding that the rate con-
ditions created a prejudice against Chicago
as market for cattle and products of live
stock.

New Order Will Go Into Effect of
November II

The recent order of Secretary Shaw
changing the pay days of government en-
ployes from the list and 18th of each month
10 the Sd and 18th will not go into effect
until the 18th of November. Employees in
all departments were paid today as usual
but this will be the last pay day on the

be given.
The change was made TO secure uniform

the President will advise republicans to vote
for Mcclellan. That is not the point His
silence will leave republicans free to vote
their choice What the other fellows want
is that the President should speak out for
the republican ticket II he should, prac-
tcally the solid republican vote would
doubtless fall to WINS.
Much Dependent Upon Issue.
What the result would be cannot be idly
estimated, but it would have great weight
without question. Impartial observers are
not prepared to say that it would elect
WINS, but It would without question add to
the already heavy burden of embarrass-
ments which threaten to overwhelm Nc
Clellan. So the situation resolves Itself
into this:
If the President should advise republicans
to vote for Mcclellan it would insure the
mayors reelection But 1t is assured the
President will not do THAI
If he should sc55ne out in a strong ex-
hortation to republicans to stand by WINS
he might not elect him; nobody can figure
TO a certainty that, but he would surely
weaken Mcclellan.
If he keeps silent, the Lord in His wisdom
only knows how the thing is coming out.

The water fountains, in regulation
form, or the pans used as substitutes
which are porcelain-lined, are expen-
sive, but they are easily cleaned and

are too expensive, then the agate ones
should be bought, but tin vessels
should never be used. The cheap agate
pans may he used and, with care, will

1t Is a good plan to empty the water
from each vessel in the early morn

it out with scalding water; then stand
it where the sun will shine on IL for
u while. Twice or three times weekly
a strong mixture of carbolic acid and
water should be used to wash out each
vessel.
See that the water given fowls is alb
solutely clean and that 1t is given fresh
three or four times during the day in
summer. A small lump Of charcoal in
the bottom of each vessel will assist
in keeping the water pure, but there is
nothing which will quite take the place

Selling is Half the Cron.

when they don't even let any one know
that they have some commodities for

S. / noticed he had few trees of
summer Rambo apples as fine as they

why he did not sell them. "No one
wants them" he replied. I told him
such apples were in big demand in
York at more than 81 per bushel.
"Well, john he said, speaking TO his
son, 81 guess you will have to take
them down and sell them, and you will
have half the money" So John put
the apples nicely on straw in the
wagon box and covered them all up
with blankets and started TO York TO
sell the apples. He drove up town
about a mile, those apples nicely covered
up all the time. expecting, 10 doubt,

Resisting Potato Blight and Rot,

Thorough cultivation tends to con-
serve the moisture of the soil in n dry
season when there is little danger of
rot, and in wet season il helps TO
keep the ground from becoming wet
and soggy. Ridglng the rows holds up
the vines from the ground, and thus
aids in quicker evaporation of mois-
ture from the foliage and ground, and
in so doing aids in retarding the
spread of the blight 1t also covers the
tubers deeper in the soil, and so pro-
tect them better from the blight spores
that fan from the leaves. Where
spraying is practiced il also makes this
operation easier. The objection TO rldg-
Ing is that in dry season ii may cause
the plants to suffer for lack of mois.
ture.
BY far the most satisfactory type of
spraying outfit for thoroughness of
work is a two-wheeled cart, of suf-
ficient reach to straddle two rows of
potatoes, which carries an ordinary
barrel pump and man to pump and
drive. Two men follow the cart. each
using a twenty y-fivefoot hose with
single nozzle, and they each spray
three rows without moving from the
row, in which they travel backward.
The man drives the length of the hose
and the men spray their rows up to the
cart, which then moves on again. In
this way the ground can be gone over
fairly quickly, and the spraying can
be done as thoroughly as desired. Two
nozzles to hose seem to be little
better than one.
Another apparatus Is a type often
used. In this case the stationary noz-
zles are attached to the end of an or
binary cart carrying a barrel pump,
and the pumping is done by hand.
This, too, has some Of the objections of
the geared machines. BY very slow
driving, however, more spray can be
placed on the vines, but because of The
stationary nozzles it viii not be done
very thoroughly or evenly. In this par
ticular apparatus better work would
have been done If the pump had
been stronger. 1t was not powerful
enough to readily supply the eight
nozzles used.
The results of spraying with bor-
deaux mixture vary with different sea-
sons but depend largely on the thor
oughness OF the treatments and their
application at the proper time. II is
much easier to secure an increased
yield of potatoes from spraying than
1t Is to prevent rot in these afterward.
This increased yield varies from almost
nothing to sometimes over 100 per
cent, and the rot Of the tubers is
usually less in the sprayed than in the
unsprayed fields An average gain OF
fifteen to twenty per cent. should be
had in order to pay for the extra cost
and trouble of spraying; any gain
above that is prolific. T.. Clinton,

To XIII Hawks.

A Louisiana reader asks how to give
nux vomica to chickens and how often
to give it to kill hawks, and If it is
dangerous.
1t undoubtedly is dangerous to the
chickens, il our reader intends to give
it to those that are alive, especially if
more than one dose is given.
OF course If nux vomica could be
given to one chicken only, and the
hawk be made to select that one and
eat it, there is a bare possibility that
Mr.. Hawk might die or at least become
so sick of chicken that he would not
return for another,
Still, we think this would be an i'm
possible task, and other methods would
be more effective. We have heard that
arsenic or strychnine put in the car
cass Of dead chicken, which is placed
in view of the hawk out of reach of
other chickens and cats, has been found
to kill not only the old one, but the
entire brood of young hawks TO which
ii is carried.
Scarecrows have but little terror fof
hawks, especially when they have a
brood Of young ones to feed, and we
doubt If there is any better way of
making way with them than with a
good shotgun. 1t may require little
patience to lie in wait and get n shot
at a hawk, but If one or two are thus
killed the others are not likely to give
further trouble.
Bare yards, with no grass or weeds
offer an inviting place for the hawks,
and the chickens have no way TO es-
cape from them.
A marten box erected near the chick
en- yard will be of material aid in fight
ing hawks. One little marten or blue
bird will put n big hawk to flight
and will often chase him fully a mile
away.
A nest OF martens and a few we'll
directed shots will do more than all
the poison that one can arrange
