CONCESSIONS MADE in
RAILROAD Freight Rates

At the request and through the solicit
tation OF some parties here who called
TIE attention Of the officials Of the Penn
sylvanis Railroad to the apparent
Irregularities and the high freight rates
OF certain commodities as compared
with other places and the distance to
market, the tariff rates have been re-
dueed to take effect December 10th.
I The changes are as follows:
First class freight to New ork i5cts new s7cts.
Second class freight 50 Old. new rate 81 cts
| Third Glass freight 81 old. new rate % Cts
Fourth class freight "A old, new rate % cts.
Ffih class freight 20 old. new rate l6 cts.
sixth class freight 10 Old, new rate I4cjs
With this substantial reduction, we
see no reason why our farmers and
shippers should have any reasonable
ground for complaint, IS the railroad
in spirit OF concession, is desiIOus OF
assisting the shippers-snd especially
the truck fsTmers-and Of further de-
velOping Kent aud Sussex counties and
to make them blossom in products like
Long Island we have q soil very simi-
lar to Long Island and it can be made
just as productive we have a climate
just as good il not better, and the sea-
son is a little earlier.
And with all these advantages, we
have not raised one. tenth Of market
produce that we should, and mainly
100, because OF the excessive freight
rates to the New York markets.
With a keen and just appreciation
that the interest OF the farmer and the
railroad are identical the concession in
freight rates have been made and from
now hencefOrth every trucker has an
incentive to renewed energy aud to
plant and grow more horticultural pro-
ducts with a certainty that the differ
ence in freight rates is his profit abso-
lutely.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has al
ready in operation on Long Island
an experimental farm, and the road
has established another on the main
line Of the Norfolk road down in Mary.
land yet we around Milford need
more, as we have more than a dozen
Long Island truckers, whose work and
methods in trucking has been an object
lesson aud an inspiration to our other
already progressive farmers.
This whole movement, in its entirety,
and every aspect OF it has been watched
seenly by the very able and capable
Division Freight Agent, Charles E.
aud it is due to his great in
terest that the redu ction Of freight rates
have been made and he is looking for
ward to see in the near future our PEN
nsula to equal in market products that
u Long Island, and that an impetus
will be given agriculture, that land
prices will enhance and our country
will blossom as a rose.
Mr.. Kingston is profoundly interested
n the people, as the writer well knows,
and we feel that we owe him much
md are thankful aud greatful for his
abiding interest in us.

With such an opinion Of US, what
/ must the Chinaman think OF our nerve
! in sending missionaries to convert him
to our barbarous ways! And by the
way, how can you prove that the
Chinaman is not right about 1t:
AS matter of fact, the despised
Chinaman is quite fellow when you
come to think 1t over. Two hundred
years before Abraham left the land Of
Ur, Chinese astronomers were ac-
curately measuring the courses OF the
stars. One hundred and Fifty years
before the beginning OF the Christian
era. Cinnamon had discovered the art
of making paper. More than two thou
sand years ago they built a wall that
even yet Is wonder of engineering.
They knew how to make cloth, wore
silken garments and lived in houses
while our ancestors were still roaming
barelegged and unwashed, with skins
thrown over their shoulders, the be-
nighted savages of northern Europe.
They first grew tea and made glue
and gelatine. They discovered the
principle of the mariners compass
without which instrument 1t would
have been next to impossible to have
navigated the ocean and discovered
new lands. They had movable types
five hundred years before the art of
printing was known in Europe. They
discovered the principle of the arch on
which so much of modern architecture
depends. They first discovered how to
make gun powder and afflicted the
world with the firecracker.
Those who have dealt most with the
Chinese speak of them as superior to
any of the other Oriental races. Chi
nese merchants are able and honest.
They are not great fighters, but that
Is because they have never been
trained to fight. They consider the
profession of the soldier as the lowest
down in the scale.
The Chinese rank the scholar first
because they believe that mind Is SUI
perior to matter. Next to the scholar
the farmer is entitled to consideration,
because he produces the necessaries
of life. Next to the farmer is the me-
chanic, because he furnishes shelter
and clothing and the necessary tools
to work with. Next to the artisan in
point of Importance in the opinion of
Cinnamon Is the merchant who takes
toll from both the producer and the
consumer, while the soldier is least
entitled to honor because he produces
nothing. but DESTROYS what other peo-
pie produce.
With this view, ii is not remarkable
that China is not military nation.
However, the Chinaman has demon
strated over and over again that he
is far more Indifferent to death than
the average Caucasian. OF late years
China is getting into the military game
and when properly drilled and armed
the Chinese soldiers will make as good
fighting men as there are in the world
1t is only a question of time until
Japan and China will rule the Far
East.

Farm Business Management.

The following extract is from an
. ''"0ss by ]. A. Bexell of Oregon
=. ultural College:
Numerous systems of farm accounts
have. been prepared, but few have
been adopted by the practical farmer.
I Whatever merits are claimed for any
/ system of farm records, one must be
paramount: Simplicity. The farmer is
usually very busy man. His chief
difficulty is neither ignorance nor in
dolence. He has but little time for
fancy bookkeeping, and still less for
red tape. What he wants is plain,
simple, Straightforward history or nis
business, 80 arranged and classified
as 10 require the minimum effort to
keep it up. All things considered, the
single-boOk system has met with the
greatest favor on small farms. In this
system a good substantial daybook is
used for the current history of the
business, for the cash book and for
the ledger.
The inventory may be considered
the basis of any ssytem of farm rec
ords. II should be taken at such a
time as will give the most accurate
results with the least expenditure of
labor. No guesswork should be toler
ate. Either the actual market value
or the sale value should be assigned,
taking due account of the depreciation.
Regarding depreciation, 1t is impossi-
BILE to lay down invariable rules as to
the rates to be charged off annually.
For the purpose of general estimates,
the following rates or the cost of mar
ket value are fairly accurate: Build
ings, per cent; horses, above years,
mich COWS, after years, s per cent;
machinery and tools, 10 per cent.
In certain respects a farmer must
combine the methods of the manufac-
turer and the merchant. He must
learn not only how to increase pro-
duction, but also how to facilitate
profitable exchange of his products.
He must reduce the cost of production
70 the minimum by increasing the
quality and quantity of his products
and by getting full value out of labor

A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW.

We are a very chesty people as a
rule We have the idea in our heads
that we are by all odds the smartest
people on earth and in so far as other
peoples differ from us we consider
them unciviized and barbarous.
1t Is a Sood idea once in a while to
set the other fellows viewpoint. You
are likely to find that he has no higher
opinion OF your abilities and manners
than you have Of his, and what is
more, he has as good right to his
opinion as you have 10 yours.
An educated Cbinaman paid visit
to the United States and went home
utterly dissusted. He gave his opinion
of us barbarians in language that was
easy to understand Here is the word
with the bark on:
You can not civilize those Ameri-
cans. They are beyond redemption.
They will go months and months with
out touching a mouthful of rice, but
they eat the flesh of bullocks and
sheep in enormous quantities. That is
why they smell so badly; they smell
like sheep themselves. Every day
they take a bath to rid themselves Of
their disagreeable odors. but they do
snot succeed.
"Nor do they eat their meat cooked
Elm small pieces. It is carried into the
Groom in large chunks, often half raw,
-aud then they cut and slash and tear
II apart. They eat with knives and
'prongs. 1t makes a civilized person
perfectly nervous One fancies himself
in the presence Of sword swallowers. |
They have no sense of dignity, for

en-. They even sit down at the same
