HERALD AND GEORGIAN, 3ANDER3VILLE, GA. A SCENE IN THE HOUSE, Mitking Fodder Palntnble. While we would not advocate tlio substitution of fodder for grain by any menu*, there is no doubt but whnt more fodder may be fed to advantage by the majority of dairymen with a corre sponding cheapening of the grain bill. For example: During the first mouth when the cows are on pasture, before the feeding is very good, we follow the same plan of feeding ns durlug the winter, namely, preparing mixed ra tion of fodder and grains. Pretwrlilf Kri, If eggs are cheap in the local mar ket, why not preserve them for use In the fail and wiuter? The water-glass way is the best. Dilute the commer cial solution with ten times Its bulk of water. A gallon will cover seventy- tive dozen eggs. Next winter they will bring only a few cents a dozen less than fresh eggs. Preserve only fresh eggs. No process enu improve a stale ogg. Pack in wooden or earthen ves sels, putting the eggs In from day to day with a wooden spoon to avoid breakage. Keep them covered with the solution and keep the vessels cov ered aud in a cool place. tllizers are an economy, and, while the same thing holds good in theory on the small scale, yet iu practice, as the amount Involved is so little, It Is wiser to hnve one all-round fertilizer. Suc culent vegetables particularly will thrive ou nitrogen. It makes them grow rapidly, and that means tender ness. Totash is used to Improve the quality. Phosphoric e.cld helps to build the tissue of the plant. What a fertil izer contains can always he ascertained by reading the analytic which must accompany It. Look only for those three terms. Don't regard anything else. How much to use? Of course, the answer largely depends on the grade of fertilizer. Stable mnnure can be spread on three inches thick. A pound of nitrate of soda is sufficient to cover from eighty to one hundred square feet.—Garden Magazine. Don’t Neglrct tlie Stsble*. Many dairymen who are inclined to V exceedingly cleanly nbout the stables during the winter give them little cure during the summer when the cows are largely milked in the pasture, a plan of milking many fol low. There are days and nights dur ing the summer when the cows must be housed and the milking done In the stables, lienee if they have been neg- lec^l the milk Is sure to absorb any undesirable odor that may exist. We find It an excellent plan to clean the stables thoroughly just as soon as the cows are turned onto the grass, and Mils thoroughness consists in wusblng the walls and floors with a strong so lution of carbolic acid, then going over them thoroughly with whitewash. In this manner all germs and odors are ■destroyed. This Is by no nienns all, for each week the stables arc thoroughly purl tied so tbnt there will be no pos sible odor to spoil the milk. Poultry House. As the henlth of fowl depends largely upon the plnce they roost, I thought I would tell the renders of the Epitom- 1st something nbout a poultry house. Make It where It will not be too windy. Have lots of ventllntiou, sun and light. The roosting room does not need to be ary large. Nests should be nbout eighteen inches from the floor aud tin ier dropping boards. Always clean the dropping board every morning and never Have roosts one higher tlmu the other, ns it causes fowls to all try to oust on the highest one. Never have Hnwlnc Crimson Clorer. Many who are havlng t thelr first ex perience with crimson clover make the mistake of sowing it in the spring, usually sowing it in with the rye. The idea is that if this is done there will be a fairly good crop to turn under in the fall. Possibly this may work in some cases and some tectlous, although it is not a safe proposition to follow generally. By far the better plan would be to sow the crimson clover seed in July or August in some culti vated crop, corn being the usual crop la which It Is sown. The result of this plan would be a good crop of clover the following spring iu nine cases out of ten where the soil was suited to the crimson clover. This plan will not In any way interfere with the proper cultivation of the corn or other crop which will have ceased before the time for sowing the clover. For Sbtllcd Corn. Where considerable corn has to he shelled for the animals on the farm It Is often wasted by falling on the barn floor and through the cracks between 1be boards. The device here suggested is easily mrde, aud if correctly made t certainly save the corn to the last grain. Mnke a box three feet long, eighteen inches wide and ten or twelve inches deep. Cover over one cod of this, at the top, on which to fasten the corn sheller. Make an in dined bottom to within eight inches of the emj, which remains open. Put legs under this box and set it blgu enough so that a pall or a bag can be set under the open end bottom tb catch the grains of corn ns they come from the sheller. If a bag is used, hooks tdll have to be put in the sides of the bottom of the box on which to hang the bag. \ high box or a pall would he preferable to the bag. The cost of •baking this device is very small; any °he with a few tools can do it, and it ^lll certainly ".ve both corn and labor, i'he illustration shows the plan so dearly that no further explanation is necessary.—Indianapolis News. Making Vegetables Tender. ~ Many people have a notion that a black soil must of necessity be a rich °“e. But, on the contrary, It may be almost devoid of nitrogen, and so stands in need of some fertilizer. " hile it is true that garden soils in seneral have a sufficiency of both pot- as h and phosphoric acid in them, the chances are that these two food ma terials are to a certain extent “locked t>P”—that is, they are not Immediately available to tl^e plant, and are only taken out by slow degrees. Therefore, the amateur gardener will And that the best all-round fertilizer for him to buy •s one with an abuudance of nitrogen, and moderate quantities of the other two substances. Of course, for. large operations, special compounds of fer Speaker Cannon Dramatically An swers Insinuation by Statehood Delegate from Arizona. BRIEFS |*«r — ni)r . a board floor, unless you will clean It twice a week and have plenty of litter on tho floor. I prefer a ground floor. Always after you clean the poultry house sprinkle lime around in the cor ners and put lots of llcc-klller in nests and on fowls. Always have a box of grit for the fowls and some dust boxes. And give tho fowls fresh water twice a day. I here show you a plnn for a good poultry house. The dropping board Is under the roosts.—J. R. Day Jr., in Agricultural Epltomlst. Vain* of Dost Mulch. Most of the readers of this depart ment know something of the import ance of the so-called dust mulch dur ing the season of cultivation, although nil do not fully renlize whnt it would mean to them if they wo")d carry out the plan thoroughly. Most of us who have to work the sod realize the im portance of conserving the moisture in it in order that the plants may use it during the periods of excessively dry weather which are usur.i all through the country. They understand, too, that a soil allowed to remain unstirred, especially if it is of a clayey nature, will dry. bake nnd then crack. As a result the moisture In the soil is lost by evaporation. On the other hand, if the surface soil to the depth of two or three inches is kept very fine, a dust, so to speak, the capillar:' action on top is destroyed and the water is retained in the soil so that the roots of the plant have the benefit of it. Any cultivated crop treated in this manner can be readily improved, the crop be much larger, and, after all, the labor In raising it much reduced for the work necessary to retain the dust mulch de stroys the weeds so that we get the valuable dust mulch without labor.-* Iudianapolis News. A Washington special says: Not in many years has tho house of repre sentatives witnessed a more dramatic scene than it witnessed Thursday, in cident to the adoption of the confer ence report on Btatehood. A round of cheers from both Bides of the chamber' greeted Chairman Hamilton of the committee, while he moved the adoption of the report. While there was no discussion on the report itself, a more unexpected epi sode occurred. Marcus A. Smith, the delegate from Arizona, took occasion In a guarded way to insinuate that there had been undue Influence used In postponing an agreement. .Smarting yndor what he believed to be a direct Insinuation against him, Speaker Cannon impetuously left the chair, calling Mr. Dalzell to the desk, nnd, taking a position In the aisle, he asked the speaker pro tom. for five minuteh to explain his position. Thunders of applause greeted the speaker a3 he stood with hand up lifted, his head shaking, waiting for quiet In the house. Finally order was restored, and then, measuring every word, Speaker Cannon said: "Mr. Speaker: As a member of the house of representatives during this session as at all other sessions, I have represented my constituents, and act ed for the whole people according to my best judgment. The coming Into the union of Oklahoma and the In dian Territory meets my approval. If I had any choice, and were Infinitely supreme. I would prefer to see Okla homa nnd the Indian Territory come separately with an aggregate popula- t’nn of two and almost one-half mil lions, with four senators, rather than to see New Mexico and Arizona como together, and God knows, rather to see them come Blngly with about 300,- 000 population with four senators. "You have the result before you, Although every man in the Indian Territory should vote against state hood for the proposed new state of Oklahoma, notwithstanding that protest tho state would be and will be formed under this enabling act. There is no separate vote there. There Is a separate vote, however, as to the other two. I would not have taken the floor had not the honora ble gentleman, the dolegate from Ari zona (Mr. Smith) made the remark that there was a high penalty for the governor of that territory to attempt to Influence legislation, or for one legislative body or its membership to attempt to traffic in legislation with the other in order to_ secure certain other legislation. If I correctly state him. That remark could not have had but one motive and one meaning, and that meaning is that some one in the house has sought to affect legislation in the house as a matter of traffic in order to secure action upon this matter in the senate. That Imputation implied, so far as I know or believe upon any other mem ber of this house, is unwortthy of the gentleman that uttered it, and is with out foundation in fact.” (Loud ap plause.) When Speaker Cannon finished the house was. in an uproar. It could not. be controlled, nor did the presiding officer make any effort toward con trolling it. Members who had sat in silence during the delivery of the speech, democrats and republicans alike, crowded around the speaker to shake him by the hand, and tell him how glad they were that the long drawn orit fight for statehood had been happily ended In a compromise, and that his speech voiced the senti ments of the members. OFFICERS HELD RESPON8IBILE. Farm Note*. New blood should be introduced fre quently. Crowding is a foe to thrift and pro ductiveness. Injurious effects are often produced by inbreeding. A hen, to be profitable, should lay a dollar’s worth of eggs in a year. In supplying water to little chickens arrange so that they can not get their feet wet. Farmers have come to value sweet mirk for feeding as never before. Hun dreds of pounds of pork are now grown with skim milk and meal. One of the prettiest flowers of au tumn is the cosmos. Don’t neglect to plant them, and plant now, as they are of slow growth and late bloomers. The man who goes to his stable, wa ters his horses and gives them a light feed the last thing every night before he retires always has round, sleek, good-looking animals. Sklm-mllk for pig feeding is worth more than the average farmer has ever estimated, and we doubt if even the experimental stations have been able to figure out its real value when used carefully in pork making. One hundred pounds of milk will produce from 15 to 23 pounds of cream. The best and largest amount of course Is secured by using cream separators, which always save a much larger per cent. of cream than can be saved any other way. The amount c.f cream also depends upon the quality of the milk. Must Pay for Advertising Now Ap pearing in Newspapers. At New York, Thursday, Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Interna tional policyholders’ committee, sent a letter to President Peabody of the Mutual Life Insurance company, say ing that the officers of the company would be held personally responsible for the Mutual Life advertising which Is now appearing In the newepapers.

House Complies With Request of the Senate Without Instructions. With a very large proportion of tho members present, due to the ac tivity of the republican and demo cratic whips, the house Tuesday pass ed a rule sending the railroad rate bill back to conference as asked for by the senate without even an ex pression of its wishes as to any of the amwdoifiQts to the bill. ■w ee w w w ww *'* Reward Offered for Convict.

The state prison commission has Just turned Into the state treasury $3,139.71 from the sale of small farm products raised on the state farm near MlUedgevllle. The products sold were such as hay, potatoes, vegeta bles, hogs and beef, raised In excess of the quantity needed tor consump tion on the farm. While no definite day has been fix ed, the commission has decided to sell the state’s 500 bales of cotton grown on the farm, at once, and that this will be put on the market, probably the latter part of this month. It Is ex- the brands handled by this firm, as being purely artificial, made of co logne spirits and colored with cara mel. Continuing, Mr. Johnson said: “I want to say a word or two about the quality of stuff this firm sells. Take ‘Old Joe,’ one of their leading brands. Only a short time ago, State Chemist John M. McCandless was employed by a party in South Carolina to ana lyze this high class whisky, and here is what he said: ‘I regard Old Joe as a purely artificial whisky, manu factured from cologne spirits and col* ored with caramel.’ In this connection I may add that I am Informed that Bluthenthal & Bicket use 5,000 bar rels of cologno spirits a year, and doc-' tor it up and call it whisky.” Mr. Johnson concluded hts attack by recalling a raid which he stated was made a few years ago by the United States government upon ‘hts firm for the purpose of confiscating fraudulent liquors and liquors uuder dishonest labels. • • • Outing for the Editors, The twentieth annual convention of the Georgia Weekly Press Association will be held in Hartwell Tuesday and Wednesday, July 17-18, and from there will go on an outing through the sap phire country of North Carolina, re turning via Knoxville and Chattanoo ga to Atlanta.
