Favor a Fair Profit.


The commission, before ordering
the roads to adopt the rates stipulat-
ed in the decisions. is anxious to as
certain whether the proposed reduc-
tions are reasonable, or whether they
are so great as to deny the roads a
reasonable profit.
This Is the first time such an ex-
pertinent has been tried, and 1t was
resorted to because the commission
preferred to delay the reduction for
three months. rather than run the
risk of making a reduction which
would be suspended, and possibly
ultimately upset by the courts.
Would Avoid Delay.
Their plan means delay of only
three months. Had they put their
contemplated reductions into imme-
date effect they would have main
tanned the present rates in effect for
much longer period. and would
nave delayed relief to shippers for
several years.
II. at the end of three months, 1t
appears that the reductions con-
templated are greater than conditions
justify, there will be a modification
before the reductions are actually
ordered to go into effect.

HOW TO MAKE A STONE DRAIN.

Messrs. Editors: There Is a great
deal OF wet and Doggy land lying
idle in the South while we buy corn
and hay. Through this land there
usually runs a creek or brook and
from the depth to the bed of this
stream we can usually determine the
depth to which the land must be
ditched. Commence the ditch at the
creek, running it so that the main
bog will first be drained, then fol-
low with bitches running out into
the low places which feed the bog.
Haul the loose stones which are in
the way and put them into the ditch.
In placing the stones in the ditch,
commence at the head and place
stones on each side to the height of
s or 10 inches, using the wide, fiat
stones to cover the drain. If this is
properly done, it will keep out the
sand and give good drainage for a
long time.
An open ditch, in my opinion, Is q
nuisance on any farm. The nearest
/
would have is on land that cannot
be drained properly. l would pillow
this land in beds to the desired
width leaving an open furrow be-
tween the beds.
In placing the stones in the ditch
it is we'll to have hoe along and
keep the muck raked ahead and SHOW
eled back on the stone. Where the
sand is very migrative it is better to
throw some hay or other litter on
the stones before placing the muck.
OF course. we cover the feeders, II
any, before we do the main ditch.
This done. we have piece of work
Of which we may be proud. And IL
it is not done in the fall and winter.
it is not likely to be done in the
spring and summer when there is SO
much other work to do.
e. J. FAULKNER.
