ginia, but In the course OF transit piss
Ing out OF Virglnin, was cIassed as inter-
state or intrastate business, but the Wit
hess would only say that the men who
handled the business were capable OF
properly classifying It.
His own opinion was tint It should DE
classed ms intrastate business. The law
yer asked why, according to the figures
sof the witness. the net earnings would
have been reduced under the proposed
rates only about 10 per cent. IN 1901.
Il and about 50 per cent. In 1905 on intra-
state business in Virginia.
Witness did rot think Mr.. Braxton
had clearly understood hts calculations.
In 1901 the net earnings from intra-
state business in Virginia had been
$12G,663. This would have been reduced
by the proposed rates to s22,os2. For
1903 the figures were sl53 $50. and could
have been reduced to $64, O33.
Were Far Apart.
Witness was asked to explain some
apparent discrepancies In his contentious.
and lie went on to draw distinctions be-
tween the cost OF doing different classes
OF business in the State.
The Witness and lawyer could not agree
as to their contentious as to intrastatc
business In Virginia. Mr.. BraSton stated
a proposition Of his own calculation, and
then said: BHIf my conclusions are wrong,
kindly point out wherein they are wrong"
II feel that your conclusions are erro-
sneous. replied the witness, and then he
went into an elaborate explanation. full
of intricacies and railroad technicalities.
b Mr.. Braxtoh took Mr.. Plants own fig
sures and asked for a further reconcilin-
ton. He wanted to know why 1t was
that there would have been such glaring
discrepancies between the decreases In
income from tho company's intrastatc
business in Virginia in the years 1901
1908 and 1905. II the proposed rates had
been applied, and he asked II there
might not be relative falling of each
year. t a III,
Mr.. Plant gave HIS views at some length
In reply, and he cited reasons why. these
things would likely have happened.
Wouldn't Wipe It Out.
He did not believe that the application
4 of the proposed rates would finally wipo
out the difference between the net income
from this source.
..If your cost Of operation In Virginia
had decreased since 1901. why has there
not been some corresponding dminution
In freight rates?"
~ cannot give you any information
as to freight rates In Virginia or else
where. as this is not In my department."
Mr.. Braxton asked II the company did
not give what is known as a milling and
transit rate on peanuts IN Virginia.
The witness said he had heard some
talk of such rate, but he could not say
that 1t had ever been put into effect.

A Splendid Wheat Crop.

The annual crop and business report
of the Commercial National Bank Of
Chicago, covering the Mississippi Val
ley, and a few of the more important
States of the Pacific coast, says, in
part:
"The wheat crop Of 1906 will be
among the largest and best ever pro-
duced. The yield not only will be
great, but the weight and quality will
be far beyond the ordinary. In these
respects it may be considered nearly
perfect. The period Of uncertainty Is
closing rapidly and the crop may now
be called practically out of danger.
The yield of soft winter wheat Is large,
quality the finest and movement free.
Inasmuch as this movement has begun
early and all grains are now nearly or
quite on an export basis with the ten
dency Of prices downward), large ex-
port business may be expected"

Crested White Ducks.

Bulletin No. GA of the Department
Of Agriculture says Of the Crested
White duck:
The Crested White duck is what may
be called an ornamental duck, much the
same as Polish chickens. They are
not bred to any great extent in this
country, and they are very seldom seen
In the showrooms. They have no es-
pecial value to the farmer, as better
and more easily bred birds are to be
found in the Pekln and Aylesbury.
These ducks have a medium-sized
head; medium-sized bill, large, we'll
balanced crest upon the crown of the
head; rather long neck; medium
length back; breast, round and full
body, round and of medium length
medium-length wings that smoothly
fold; hard, stiff tail feathers, witl
well-curled feathers In the tail oil
drake; and short and stout thighs ant
shanks. Their eyes are large and brigh
and of deep leaden blue or gray color
The shanks, toes and webs are of ,
light orange color.

Heavy Horses.

The weight Of horse Is an Import
ant Item in estimating his value for
draft purposes, for the ne-boned horse,
with well-developed muscles, may do as
much work as the heavy-boned one for
a short time, and Is even better for road
purpose. But in plowing, or other
heavy, steady drawing, the light horse
is less useful. Then, in price, the
weight is an important item. If good
horse weighs over 1000 pounds he may
possibly sell for as much as 81 per
pound, and from 1900 to 1000 pounds,
for less, the price rapidly declining,
1,200 to 1900 pound horses selling at
from 10 to 80 cents per pound, though
it Is considerably more than any other
grade Of stock on the farm will bring
If the horses are well bred.

Winter Needed Inv Corn.

Much interest has lately been mani
tested in determining the exact amount
Of water required for the growth Of
plants. This is just as important In
the east as in the irrigated region, for
we often have droughts which made
necessary the most careful cultivation
to prevent plants from suffering. Pro-
fessor Clothier has found that after
corn becomes two feet high each stalk
uses up three pounds Of water day
until the ears mature. This Is equlva-
lent to an inch of rain week. In
regions where the average rainfall Is
lower, and where a good, milky quality
of sweet corn Is desired in the garden
during August and September, it is OBJ
viously necessary to have the soil in
the most perfect state of cultivation so
as to retain as much moisture as Is
needed

The Robber Cow.

Two cows cost $40 each a year for
keep. One of them yields 1000 quarts
Of milk a year, that bring $50. The
other yields 1000 quarts, that bring
S26. The latter loses about $14 and
reduces the gain on the former from
$46 to $50. Why do you keep that 1900
quart COW? You would be better off with
the one that clears SAG, for you would
have only half the Investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain $14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come and
prices would rule strong II all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding Of
the great practical Importance Of weed
ing out the improbable cows from their
herds. Many man would make fair
profit, that now faces constant loss, IL
he would keep only such cows as pay
profit on their keep.

Profits of NfiddIemen.

Consumers of fruits and vegetables
In large cities are charged high prices
by the hucksters and grocers. In Chi
cago peaches are selling retail for thir-
ty-five or forty cents for small basket
containing about twenty to twenty-five
peaches; other fruits and vegetables in
proportion. 1t would be interesting to
farmers to know just how much OF this
is booked as profits. Farmers get no
such prices; In fact they are lucky II
they get onethird of the prices now
prevailing In Chicago. Either some
class Of handlers Is making exorbitant
profits or there is an unnecessary ex-
pense attached to the business Of dis
tribution. 1t costs money to handle
produce. 1t requires storage, horses
and men, and none of these things are
cheap In the city, but there is no good
reason why the consumer should pay
three hundred per cent profit on what
the farmers sell.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

Barley has as yet been little used for
horses in the eastern part of the Unit
ed States, probably because of Its gen,
eral high price. On the Pacific coast
1t Is extensively used for breeding
horses at all kinds Of work. Where
the horses teeth are good and the labor
not severe, barley may be fed whole.
Ground barley is unpleasant to the
horse while eating, and II, instead Of
grinding, the grains are crushed to
fiattened disks between iron rollers,
they are more palatable and acceptable
to the horse.

Marketing Farm Produce.

vice. To her sell nothing but the
choicest of fruit and produce. 1t will
not be long before she will acquaint
her friends, and they in turn will pass
along the word to others. 1t pays to
sell nothing but the best; the inferior
produce can be fed to stock, and in a
short time the farmer will find he has
a good market and good price, with
no leakage Of profit to the middleman.
