Commissioner Brown holds that
freight rate reductions have in no
wise been of benefit to the people
generally, but act rather in the
shape of dividend to the manu-
facturer and jobber, while reduc-
tions in the passenger rates are of
Importance to the whole peoples
Mr.. Brown says of something like
81, 100000 annual reductions in
freight rates secured through the
activity of the railroad commiss-
ion in 1905, not one dollar has
ever gone into the pocket of the
farmer, the laborer, or other con-
sumner.

UTILIZING MANURE.
Rules Which Should Be Cnservea Lt
 Hauling It.

Few people realize how easy it is to waste manure. Barnyard manure is always undergoing change from the moment it is made. Even in the win ter, when it is frozen, we have reason to believe that some chemical change is going on. The higher the temperature the greater are the changes constantly taking place Manure should be gotten onto the land a short time after it is made, unless corn stalks and other mate rials are to be worked up into it. Then it should be kept simply moist, in which state the least loss of manurial elements will take place.
 When manure is hauled out and put on the land it should be spread even- ly over the ground, says Farmers Re view. The more evenly it is spread the better will be it's incorporation with the soil. Leaving manure in Jumps is to waste much of it and pro duce unevenness in the growing crops. In the case of the smaller grains this is a great drawback. Where a big lump of manure exists in the soil the grain grows rankly, while not far away will be found grain short and weak in straw. An uneven stand of any kind of grain means a reduced yield. In the case of the manure being in the lump, the stalks of the grain grew too big and the development was against the prOduc- ton of grain. It is well understood that too large growth of stalk per vents fruiting. Thus the manure in such a case is often a detriment to the grain. On the other hand the starved plants do not produce much grain. What is desired is an even and medium development, which means a large amount of seed com pared with the total of the grain.
 This consideration alone makes de- sirable the use of a manure spreader to get the manure evenly distributed over the surface of the soil, so that the resulting crop may be well fed but not over-fed or under-fed in spots. Probably enough money has been saved in this way alone to pay for all the manure spreaders in use in the United States, without taking into consideration the other advan- tages.
 When a manure spreader is to be purchased see that it is well made and strong in all its parts. The sim pier the better as the less likely is it to~get out of repair. Strength is a necessary requisite, and a manure spreader that is flimsily built may soon break down under the heavy strain that is put upon it. It is bet ter to pay good price and get a good machine than to pay low price and | get a poor machine.

The Average Hen.

The average American hen lays 66 eggs year. As these are mostly laid when eggs are cheap, her earning ca pacity is probably not more than $l Her feed housing, care, etc, cost fully half cent day, or $1.S2 a year Therefore. it does not pay to keep av- craze hens for egg laying The num- Der of farmers who keep hens above the average is still incr creasing. No one has put himself on record as fa- voring poor hens when good ones cost no more to keep.

in the pocket. A Massachusetts man, realizing this, and probably being ad- dicted to the habit of carrying loose matches in the pocket, has solved the problem in peculiar manner. He has devised and patented match that is unique in construction. It is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is made in the usual way with a splint having an ignition head Instead of using the ordinary round splint the latter is formed with concaved or channel portion extending from the head of the match to the opposite end In this channel is placed igniting ma terials. In use two matches are taken from the pocket, the head of one be- ing drawn across the other, and the match thus ignited. A hundred could be safely carried in the pocket, with no chance of accidental ignition. There is also no necessity of marking up the walls.

Rivalinq the Nile Dam.

This immense artificial lake, which will be but little inferior in capacity to that created by the great new dam on the River Nile, is, says the Youths Companion, to be used for ir- rigation. The dam will be situated in a gorge cut by the river through d granite ridge, and its height will be 200 feet.

 Now get two pieces of hoop iron just long enough to reach across from block to block. Punch a hole in each end and nail in position as shown. Slip the third 4bar of wood under the hoop iron pieces and screw a strong hasp-head in the center. This bar should slip back and forth smoothly and easily and can never fall out says Farm and Home. In order to open or fasten the door from either side cut slit one-half inch wide and three inches long in the door, bore hole in the bolt and put hardwood pin through it.

 the question of spontaneous genera tion, has returned to his experiments, some of the interesting results of which he has permitted us to repro duce. Dr. Bastian held against his three great adversaries that even in perfectly steSilized and isolated media germs of life would appear, and he be- lieves that he has now found conclu- sive proof of this. During last year he prepared certain saline solutions which he enclosed in dramatically sealed tubes that had previously been perfectly sterilized. As further pre- caution, explains London Graphic, he subjected the closed tubes and solu- 130 degrees Centigrade. a degree of heat now known to be fatal to all mi cro-organisms. It is fatal to bacteria, micrococci, to tOrulae, to vibriones and moulds: and yet in his solutions. after months of exposure to diffused light or to uniform heat of an incubator he discovered these forms. They were found in deposit of silicon which ap- peared at the bottom of the tube, the liquid above remaining perfectly clear, which it would not do if 1t were not completely sterilized. Carbon is not present in the solutions, but its close chemical ally, silicon, is;. and Dr. Bas- tian contends that there is good prima facie evidence frofh his experiments to show that silicon is capable of en- tering into the composition of proto- plasm itself-that is, wholly or in part taking the place of carbon.
