sufficient to cause real distress in many
families, the increased burden neces-
saryily being taken out of the neces-
stiles of life.
During his testimony Mr.. Hill said
that fully 1000, 900 people, representing
the families of the $50, 900 persons who
daily go to New York to work, are af-
fected by the increase. He also chal-
lenged the statement of railroad men
that the commuter is responsible for
no indirect benefits, pointing out the
freight and express traffic the COM
muter creates.
East orange Man Testifics.
Howard Marshall, of East Orange,
president of the New Jersey Com
muters' League, was another witnes
against the railroads, declaring that it
has beer fully established in specific
cases that many families have been
forced 20 move back into the city, I'M
able to pay the advance in commuta-
ton rates. He was supported in this
statement by Albert Il. Condit, also of
East Orange, who told of the effect the
increases have had on real estate,
there having been a general de-
probation of realty values in the Or
anges since the new schedule was put
in effect. He said that today there are
fully 500 vacan houses in East Orange.
He laid responsibility for this at the
door of othoe railroads.
When the hearing was resumes to-
day the scene was shifted from the
myrtle room to the Waldorf apart
ments. There, in a ,sumptuous salon,
within sound of a pipe organ on an
other floor, the dry figures of railroad
ing were threshed out and wrangled
over.
The first case to occupy the attention
of Commissioner Harlan was that of
the West Shore railroad. L. N. Vos-
burgh, general passenger agent, was
the first witness, and he declared at
the outset that in spite of the increase
in Communication rates this year the
earnings per train mile are but 80
cents, compared with IS cents las year,
He further said hat although the COM
muters form 70 per cent. of the gross
rattle of the road. they contribute only
40 per cent. to the earnings.
Commuters No Detrimcnt.
In reply to questions by Frank Lyon,
the attorney of the commission, Mr..
Vosburgh testified that the commuters
are not a detriment to the road, neither
are they a paying class of traffic.
Charles Drayton, representing the
State of New Jersey, wanted to know
If in determining the amount of the
increase in commuters rate the rail-
road figured out the relation OF it to
the net earnings. The witness said
that the expenses of he road formed
the basis used in making the revision
He added that another big reason IT
making the commuters pay more was
to make it unnecessary for the through
traffic to pay for service given the COM
muters. He was asked why the
through passengers are not profitins
through the change, but M explana-
ton was forthcoming.

New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad case was completed at An I'M
announced session last night. When
Vice-President Benjamin Campbell
gave testimony in benalf of the Melien
road He explained that one reason an
advance in committing rates was ne 'cs-
sary was the exhorbitant rem dem1nd-
ed by the New York Central for the use
OF the Grand Central station. He also
said that unless the New Haven is PER
mitted to adjust its tariffs as suits
itself the road will be compelled 10
abandon its commuter traffic. How
his would be accomplished the witness
did not say.
Protest.
That Metuchen an1 New Brunswick
are being Disseminated against was
the claim of residents of those places
who appeared ct the hearing. 1t is
their contention that the increase in
rates from these places are in excess OF
the pro rata increase, and it is causing
many who had purchased property to
move back to New York.
This is al direct contradiction of the
claims of the railroad representatives,
who have claimed that the ~increase
would not prove a hardship on com
muters.
F. n. Yorston. secretary Of the New
Brunswick Board of Trade, stated that
before the increase his organization
was advertising the advantages of New
Brunswick as a home for commuters,
but now cannot offer any such ci1ims
Z On the other hand, he stated that
other cities on other railroad lines were
advertising the advantages of their
towns in New Brunswick papers.

HAVE YOUR NIckLE READY.

1t has been announced by the Off
cials of the Nashville Railway &
Light Company that the pay as-you-
enter cars have proven so successful
that they will be installed on every
line operated by the company All
Of the cars will be built in the conf
pany's shops in this city For this
reason it will be many months be-
fore all of the old cars are put out of
commission
One thing that can be said of the
pay-as-you-enter cars is that they
practically eliminate car accidents. 1t
is estimated that three-fourths of the
accidents are caused by the passen-
gers jumping on and off of the cars.
This danger is absolutely eliminated
by the use of the improved car.

FIGHT THE INSECTS THIS FALL
AND WINTER.

Fall and winter plowing and clean
ing and burning or blowing under
trash is one of the best ways to com
bat insects. Flowing of corn land
and cotton land greatly reduces the
corn ear-worm and the cotton boil
worm. Flowing cotton land and adj
iacent lands reduces the boil weevil.
Some years the pupa (winter form) of
the tobacco worm can be practically
eXterminated by fall of winter plow-
ing. That is, they can be nearly eX-
terminated in the tobacco fields that
are plowed. The grasshopper and
chinch bug can be greatly reduced by
fall blowing and cleaning up.
In general all corn stalks or Stub.
bile lands, all cotton and tobacco land
should be plowed in the fall and win
ter. Trash should be plowed under
or burned. The objection to the lat
ter practice is that humus is de-
stroyed.
Waste land in fence rows or any
where else makes breeding grounds
for insects that are harmful to farm
crops. Slovenly farming is produc-
tive of insects pests and plant dis
eases

/ TAYLOR TAKES EIGHT LITTLE
BOYS.

Eight little boys ranging in years
from 8 to 10 years, who had been ac-
cumulating in the cells at the police
station for about a week, were taken
off the hands of the prison authorities
Saturday afternoon by G. B. Taylor,
of the local Colored Industrial School.
The youngsters were charged with
everything from vagrancy to petit
larceny, and were a continual annoy
ance to Turnkey John Connors, for
whom they evidenced a special affec-
ton. Prison life to them was a new
and novel experience, and they whiled
away their time by shooting pennies
for a line in the long corridor. Rev.
Taylor will give them some work to
absorb their surplus energy from
this time on.

a close reader of agricultural papers,

without one, and actually don't be-

the teachings of dozen or two differ

perience we have with the best ideas OF
others, X seems to me we have great
many advantages over those who do

PLANT HARDY BULBS.

Now is a desirable season Of the
year to plant spring Towering bulbs
Among this class are tho snowdrops,
scilla or squill, crocus, tulip, hyacinths,
and the various kinds of narcissus,
such as dalfodils and jonquils.
They should be set at least six
inches deep After the ground
freezes an inch or two in depth it is
we'll to mulch the bulb with fine ma
nure, old leaves, Or similar material
This should be gradually raked off in
the spring as settled weather ar-
proaches.
The smaller bulbs such as crocus,
should be planted about two inches
deep, tulips from four to six inches
and the same for hyacinths, depend
ing upon the size of the bulbs. Tulips
in this climate do best when planted
in a partially shaded situation, other.
wise the warmth of late winter may
bring them into growth too early in
the season. The other bulbs men
toned also thrive best when shaded
during a part of the day. The east
side of buildings is better than the
south and west.
Roots of peony and bleeding heart
should also be planted in thu fall,
Peonies set at Jhis time of the year
if the clumps are large, will bloom
well the following spring. The iris
should be handled in the same man
ner Lilies, such as the tiger and
the Easter lily, are also best planted
in the fall.
They can be left in the ground with
out much danger even until the soil
begins to freeze a little on the sur
face. AS soon as they are dug the
soil should be shaken off and the
bulbs allowed to dry for half day
Store them in a cellar where they will
not freeze and where the air Is not
too dry.

HOW no eATHER SEQ CORN.

At corn-ripening time drop all other
business and select an abundance of
seed corn. The process is too impor-
tant to be conducted incidentally
while husking, says Farmers Bulletin
No. AIS. When selecting seed corn
give the process your entire atten-
tion Get the very best that is to be
had and preserve it we'll, and your in
creased yield will return you more
profit than any work you do on your
farm.
The only proper way to select seed
corn is from the stalks standing
where they grow, as soon as ripe and
before the first hard freeze.
