Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
Topdressing and Seeding Down.

IOpuToSSHnB anu O0ouiHS OOWH's
Up-to-date farmers are. agreed that
in many cases better results are
obtained on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to
top dressing and seeding down.
We wish to call the attention Of
the farmers Of Vermont to the fact
that we can furnish formulas for
mixing fertilizers especially adapted
to top, dressing and seeding down
grass land. These formulas have
not only been approved by the Yer
mont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by a
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable. We
can also furnish the materials for
mixing fertilizers in accordance with
these formulas. We should be
pleased to send the formulas to-
gether with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, etc, to any
one who will write US, mentioning
this paper. Address Carroll S.

Adds to Canadian Line.

VICTORIA (B. CO., October 26.-That
the two palatial steamers now in the
Canadian Pacific Atlantic trade, the
Empress of Ireland and Empress of
Britain, will be brought around to the
Pacific before very long was the state.
ment made by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy
at banquet given in his honor by the
local Board of Trade at the New EN-
press Hotel the other night. Referring
to the steamship service of the COM
panv, Sir Thomas said:
"The establishment of our Atlantic
steamship line has demonstrated the
fact that no route between Europe and
America, between Great Britain and
this continent, at any rate, can in any
way compare or compete with the Ca
madam Pacific Railroad IS steamship
line. With the Empress of Britain,
which arrived this afternoon at Quebec
at 3:45 o clock, and whose passengers
will reach Chicago tomorrow night at
10 o clock, we have beaten the record
of any steamer which has ever yet
sailed from Liverpool to New York"
The two Expresses which it is pro-
posed to add to the Pacific fleet are each
of 10000 tons displacement and $4,000
horsepower, their length being $50 feet,
and having accommodations for $50 ca
i bin passengers, besides 1000 steerage. j. 1t
is understood that the Expresses of Ire
land and Britain will be put OH the
Victoria Yokohama run, while the EN-
presses of China, India and Japan will
go into the Australian service.

Rivals Literally Subsidized.

That the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company's two principal rivals on the
Pacific Lcean, the Canadian Pacific
Steamship Company and the Togo XII
sen Kaisha Company, are subsidized
literally by their respective govern
ments has been known for some time,
and by virtue of their subsidies they
have cut deeply into the Pacific Mail 8
business.
By arranging with the great trans
continental railroads of this country
working basis for carrying transpa-
cific freight either way ON through
rates. the Pacific Mail has been able
to compete for some share of the bust
ness.
A factor in this arrangement was
that the initial shipper made the rate
for both land and sea. On business
going to the Orient the railroad made
the rate and got the lion share, ac-
eording to the understanding of ship
pers On business coming from the
Orient the Pacific Mail Company made
the through rate, of which it got a
remunerative portion.
This arrangement, it is said, worked
satisfactorily until the Interstate Com
merce Commission insisted upon know
ing exactly what proportionate pas+'
of these rates the transcontinental raj
roads were getting. and how their share
of such transpaeiic rates compared
with their domestic rates for carrying
the same kind of freight the same dis

When asked what the company will
do with its ships after that date, R.
p. Schwerin, its vice president and
general manager, replied with laugh:
"Anehor them out in the stream with
the Oceanic Company
When asked whether he meant that
literally, Mr.. Schwerin explained that
he used that as a figure of speech
and that he hoped such a contingency
would not arise, though he did not
deny that time might bring about such
a state of affairs unless some remedy
for existing conditions can be found.
GIVE will continue on our schedule,
and if the business is there We will
handle it and fight for it," explained
Mr.. Schwerin. eff the freight is not
to be had-if the ships 90 out empty

rectors to decide what course they viii

Of these, the big freighter Algoa is
laid up for lack of business, the small

the coastwise trade to Central and
South America for the same reason,
while the Asia temporarily has been
taken off the transpacific run and is
laid up at Hongkong subject to call.
The other ships are still in commits
sion, carrying passengers and freight
to and from the Orient, and of late
have been coming into port here with
large cargoes billed to interior cities
of the United States on the through
rates that can not prevail after No

Fight for Every Cargo.

con the Pacific ocean also we are in
competition with two strong lines, both
subsidized by their governments, and
we had to fight for every bit of freight.
As long as we could cooperate with
our transeontinental railroads, on the
basis of the initial shipper making the
through rate, we have been able to get
share of the business. But the new
rule of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission makes it impossible to con.
tinue on that basis.
"Suppose hundred pounds of ma.
ehinery is being shipped from Kansas
City. to Hongkong on through rate.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
requires the railroad hauling that
freight from Kansas City to this port
to publish its share of that through rate,
and at the same time requires the rail-
road to publish its domestic rate for
hauling from Kansas City to San Fran
cisco or nearby points another hundred
pounds of the same kind of machinery.
NATURALLY the railroads decline to do
that Anyone can see what the result
ultimately would be. If the railroad g
portion OF through rate to the Orient
should be found to be less than the
railroad s domestic rate on the same
kind of freight, domestic shippers inn
mediately would elamor for the rail
road s lower figures on export business.
cit is no wonder that the railroads
refuse, but we, as the transpaeific car
riers, will be the sufferers. I cannot
understand how it is that the govern
ment at Washington can have so little
comprehension of the situation as to
enact such laws

FAILURE WITHOUT SUBSIDY

"The public at large has no idea Of
the amount of freight that goes from

always have been in competition with
the Suez route, and practically all the
freight going by that route is carried
in foreign bottoms-mostly German anI
British vessels-and they all are sab
sidized.
"Owing to their subsidies they are
able to allow the railroads bringing
them freight from points in the inte-
rior, like Chicago and Pittsburg, full
interstate freight rates. AS a conse-
quenee the Interstate Commerce Com
mission never has had any opportunity
to interfere with through ratings from
interior points to the Orient via the
Atlantic and the Suez canal.
"Another thing, the crews of those
ships are all Singalese and Koreans, and
the low wages paid to them figure in
the low rates. So our competition with
the foreign vessels on the Atlantic sea

erous subsidies, always has been hard

Put out of commission, as effeetual-
" as if captured and held as prizes by
hostile navy, the merchantmen and
liners of the Pacific Mail Steamship
COmpany's fleet soon may find their
trade gone and be condemned to ride
idly at anchor, gathering seaweed in

ing barnacles in the bay of San Fran
