George Napier. When the British army
was in the south of France, after the
Battle Of Toulouse, Sir George and sew.
sral other officers visited the house Of
a gentleman who had a very fine dog,
a poodle.
The dog had been trained to receive
food only when offered by the right
hand, and the gentlemen all amused
themselves with testing his steadiness
in this respect, and found that he con-
stantly refused to take bread from the
left hand.
But when he came to Sir George.
who, having lost his right arm, Of
course offered the bread with his left
hand, the dog looked earnestly at him.
and accepted the bread.
Then the other officers tried to de-
ceive him by Disgusting themselves 80

but the dogs sagacity was not to be
baf1ed, and he steadily refused 10 take
bread from the left hand, except from

rvn.r,ment, I'm cultivation.

Deep cultivation of some crops Is
equivalent to pruning the roots This
is especially the case with corn, which
sends IFS roots IN every direction, close
to the surface Of the soil. Expert
ments In cultivating show that when
the roots were cut 2 inches, Inches
and g inches below the surface the In
crease of crops was greatest when the
cultivation was shallow, the greatest
harm being done by deep cultivation at
the last stages of growth of the plants
The object should be to simply loosen
the top soil when cultivating corn anu
TO avoid cutting the roots as much as
possible.

MILBURN OUTLINES
HARTMAN DEFENSE
IN SOU. PAC. CASE
Concludes His Argument
Before Interstate
Commission.

In concluding today his arguments be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in defense Of the Hartman rail-
road transactions Of the last few years,
john 9. Milburn.- Of counsel for Harri-
man, laid down several fundamental
propositions, in support Of the claim
that there was no violation Of the Sber-
man antitrust law in the purchase OF
the Southern Pacific BY the Union Pa
cifc.
Inese propositions viii form the basis
Of the defense If the matter is taken
into courts with a view Of prosecuting
Hartman as the president Of the Union
Pacific.
The propositions were:
"A restraint OF trade, to be within the
act, must be direct and immediate, and
q necessary effect of the transaction" "
"A restraint Of trade consequent upon
purchase Of property. in any of its
various forms, is incidental merely, and
therefore not within the act.
The purchase must. Of course, be real (;
Il a mere device for the suppression Of
competition. as it was held TO be in the
Northern Securities case, while IL may
be effective TO operate upon the legal
title as between the parties, IL is in fact
unsubstantial and may be disregarded. -
Provided the purchase be real and
substantial. the motive which induces
II cannot autCN the result aDE any
resultant restraint of trade is still only
consequential and incidental TO the ex-
ercIse of an absolute and undoubted
right-that is. the right to acquire prop
erty"
Therefore, the purchase by a rail-
road company, within It's corporate
powers of an interest in another line
of railway, is not within the act, be-
cause the restraint upon trade If any,
is not direct but merely incidental 10
the purchase"
"a purchase by a railroad company Of
an interest In a line of railway which is
not parallel and competing is not within
the act"
''The purchase by the Union Pacific
OF its interest in the Southern Pacific
was not made to suppress competition
but to protect, its property by an exten-
sion of its line in the way to the Pacific
coast"
The Union Pacific and Southern pa
cifie are not parallel or competing lines
or systems"
