Washington, Feb. 29. — The re ports of the majority and minority house committee oa ways and means to accompany the Springer hill have been prepared and presented to the house. The majority report was prepared by Hr. Springer, and - the minority report by Mr. Barrows of Michigan. Tbe ma jority report says the McKinley bill was passed with enormous rates on duties, many of them prohibitory, and all of- them ^unreasonably high. "There can be no good reason, ” says the report, "for maintaining high taxes upon arti cles which are so necessary to the health and comfort of the people. ” A peculiar feature of these rates is, that owing to the high rates per pound and per square yard, added to ad valorem rates, the duties were highest upon the cheaper grades of goods worn by the masses of people and lowest upon the high-priced goods worn by those in better circumstances.” The rates proposed in the bill submitted, the report says, are fixed with a due re gard to the labor, cost of production and to -the necessities of consumers. The lowest rates are placed upon goods upon which the least labor has been bestowed and which are consumed by the greatest number of people. Sta tistics are printed-in support of this statement. The house rales committee has re ported to the house a resolution making the silver bill the special order for March 22, 23 and 24, and Mr. Catehings has given notice that he will call the resolution up next Monday.

If a hide is taken off and properly cared for it will often bring a fifth or fourth as much as the dressed carcass. If taken off improperly and neglected it will bring very little. A hide ought to more than pay for taking it off. After the animal is dead turn it np on its back and run a sharp knife along tbe carcass as indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 1. To do this, thrust in, the knife, point foremost and edge np, and run toe slit toe entire length of the carcass, from toe chin over toe breast in the line of the navel to toe tail. Then slit the skin of each leg from toe cleft of toe foot to the central slit. If these lines are fol lowed the hide will be toe right shape to care for when removed.

From toe poultry department of the ex perimental farms, Ottawa* comes a report of the hatching results from eggs set on dry boards and on damp ground. Both of these methods have their advocates. The contention on one side is that eggs to hatch out well must be placed on damp ground or on some substance calculated to retain moisture, and toe opposite on the other side. It appears from the re port under consideration that toe fertil ity of toe eggs had more to do .with the result than the location of the sitter. Manager Gilbert hazards toe opinion, however, that it is quite possible that early in toe season, when toe weather is yet cold, the dry floor may be toe best, because it is likely to be warmer. In toe hot season the cool, damp'cellar would be preferable. This opinion is substan tiated in part at least by experiences of the writer, who has found nests near or on the ground more advantageous in warm, dry climates than nests placed on a dry floor. In his report Manager Gilbert tells how to break np a sitter when it is desir able to get her to laying again as soon as possible. He says: “The best way to ac complish this is to put the broody hen in a coop or compartment without a nest, where she cannot sit, feed her generous ly, and in a few days she will cease tobe broody, and if toe good feeding is kept on will soon be laying again. The practice of ducking toe broody hens in water, ty ing them to a stake, swinging them by their legs, is simply cruel and unneces sary. Some hens, Wyandottee, for in stance, are much more easily broken up than others. A broody member of toe Spanish family should not be used as a sitter. Occasionally an exception may be found, bat as a general rale, although very fussy, they are not trustworthy." Things Told by Others. The Spirit of the Farm says that the Leghorns stand far above all other breeds in toe egg producing class. Texas Farm and Ranch says a crop of corn can be grown andconverted into bacon and, lard in from eight to ten months. 4 Upon good soil nitrate of . soda gave good resalts in tomato culture at Cor nell, at the New Jersey station and at toe Maryland station.
