WASHINGTON, March 3.—'More
money has be-n appropriated during
the short session of the i-'lfty-ninth
Congress which passes into history at
noon tomorrow, than during any pre
vious session. The amount, as near
as can be estimated, approximates a
billion dollars.
Two big battleships were authorized
for the navy, and the artillery corps of
the army was re-orgar.!zed and en
larged. A general service pension was
granted to veterans of rh® Mexican and
Civil Wars, and like provision was

From the Agricultural Epitomist.
It is claimed that mutton at 5 cents
a pound will pay better than wool at
25 cents. Such claims depend- upon
conditions. A good merino will pay
more In woo! than can be derived from
a common sheep, while a breed of
mutton sheep will give a greater profit
than can be derived from sheep that are
not bred with an object to be attained.
Farmers who keep sheep also make a
profit in the manure and in the utiliza
tion of the wasted materials consumed,
but sheep require feeding as well as
other stock and should not be expected
to seek their food entirely at any sea
son of the year.
Hog manure is usually produced
from grain and is quite rich but it
does not contain as much nitrogen
ous mattter as manure from horses,
hence it Is slow to heat, while the
horse manure ferments too rapidly and
Is apt to tirefang. It Is a good plan
to mix hog and horse manure to
gether. This can be done without
troubie if the horses are fed whole
oats and pigs are allowed to root
over the manure pile as it is thrown
from the stable. Where bedding is
scarce the material which has been
used in the stalls by horses may be
used as bedding for pigs. But while
it Is so used the pigs will not mix
their own excrement with it, as they
are really cleanly in their habits.
The best remedy for lice In the poul-
trv house is to add a pound of con-
The above matter set me to think
ing whether or not it was necessary,
or profitable, to feed such heavy grain
rations to get the most profit out of a
cow during her natural life.
Take, for an example, the 25 Jer
sey cows at St. Louis. They were fed
from 15 to 17 pounds of grain dally.
One would naturally suppose that the
pick of the country for these cows,
and the care they received and the
grain eaten, would produce results
away beyond the reach of any ordina
rily cared for cows on the farm. But
such the case? It would be safe to
suppose, that these cows produced
one-half of their milk for the year
during the four months of the test.
On that basis it would tabulate some
thing like this:
Total milk for 2’ cows for 120
days (in pounds) 124.524
Average pounds per cow 4,950
Double this for year, or say.. 10,000
Value at $1.3712 per hundred
weight. $137.50
Average cost of feed per cow
for the four months 2S.S0
Average cost per cow per
month 7.2S
Cost to feed for one cow, one
year at same rate 86.70
. Total Income 137.50
Total cost feed S6.70
It 1* a well-known fact that plants grow
largest In rich soil, but it is not so well
understood that the largest roots may be
found in Very poor soil. This has been
made a subject of late experiment by a
French botanist. Lots of colza seeds were
planted, respectively, in washed sand, in
soil exhausted by many crops and in good
soil; and after seven weeks, with like
watering, the roots in the sand had grown
14 to 16 inches: those In the poor soil. 10
to 12 Inches, and those in the good soil
had grown only 6 inches.
When selecting peas for an earlv supnlv
the dwarf varieties will be found most
suitable, as they do not have to make
heavy growth of vine before coming into
bearing. The more wrinkled the seed the
better the quality of the pea, though some
of the earliest peas are not wrinkled. The
Champion is one of the best in quality,
but is not early and not as prolific as
some varieties.

during the time of milking ard the cow j does the extra profit compensate for the
must he placed under favorable con- j shortened productive life of the cow.
■In my opinion, when cows are fed such
destroyed surely and quickly.
Cows win founder the same as will
horses from being overfed with some
food that cannot readily be digested
and will show the charactertistlc lame
ness which results in horses when they
are overfed with anything. Of course,
as digestion is interrupted the animal
becomes feverish and her milk flow will
cease. It will take several days of care
ful feeding to put a foundered cow in
good condition again. She should be
kept in a dry place and given all the
water she will drink, with light easily
digested foods in small quantities until
digestion is restored to its normal con
dition. Hoven also result from over
feeding in certain foods.
It Is claimed that when a cow giving
a large quantity of milk has been
slaughtered and every drop of milk
gathere up, the largest amount ever
found was about four quarts, hence
Fowls need a groat deal of fodder in
winter to neutralize the concentrated
feed. One hundred hens will eat five
pounds of clover leaves daily, besides
their regular grain ration, and the clover
is a very nutritious food as well as omp-
pl.-'ing bulk. Often cut rotten hav will
answer fairly well as a substitute, and
if neither clover nor rowen is at hand,
the chaff from the bam floor will supply
a great deal of fodder as well as serving
as a scratching littler. The Maine station
found that for 100 hens 5 pounds of clover
leaves took the place of 17 pounds of
beets, and then hens were kept healthy
and thrifty. It is certainly easier to oro
ide this small amount of clover fodder
than to raise the beets required to take
its place.

with the view of obtaining an account

Of one fact the breeder Is assured i
and that Is that certain families of
animals excel and are more successful
than others, and fortunately for both
the breeder and the farmer, the pedi
grees enable them to arive at some
degree of knowledge as to tho proper
families from which to select.
The farmer who desires to grade up
his stock is enabled to breed from
animals of certain strains, or from
families that have produced a certain
large proportion of extraordinary' in

his herd of flocks by grading them
to a higher standard.
In grading up animals the farmer
should select from the best families of

day. to read the Republicans a lecture.
, He’addressed himself .wholly to that
portion of the report wherein the House
receded from Its disagreement relative
to the reduction in the number of pen
sion agencies permitting the agencies
to remain as under existing law. He
said that the pension committee of the
Senate reported a pension bill to that
body putting back the agencies which
the House had stricken out so that
the "Senatorial” patronage might be
preserved to that honorable body.
"We are compelled." said Mr. Sulli
van. ''as representatives of the people

duty of conservating the money of the
tjix-payers of the nation—compelled by
another body, without debate or delib-

EMPLOYMENT OF SPECIAL IN
VESTIGATORS FORBIDDEN.
WASHINGTON, March 4.—The
sundry civil appropriation hill, the last
of the general appropriation bills was
agreed upon at 11:30 tonight, after a
conference extending over two days.
The principal items of^ dispute were
disposed of as follows: Provision for

tice, and Commerce, and for parks in
the city of Washington were stricken

ning of President Roosevelt’s admin
istration twenty-three proceedings have
been begun under the Sherman law,
seven of which have been concluded
nnd sixteen pending. Since the pas-
of the Elkins act in 1903 the
Government has undertaken to en
force the law rigorously. As a result
■since 1905 seventy-seven indictments
have been returned, and the Govern
ment has been active and thus far suc
cessful in the prosecutions.
“But why should all of the efforts
of the administration he devoted to
the enforcement of the laws to pre
vent rebates and discriminations?
Unquestionably tho public has suffer
ed grievously from such practices.
Serious as bec-n the results of such
practices, however, the harm to the
public from them has never even ap
proximated the positive evil that has
resulted from the existence and oper
ation of those combinations whoso
not, will stand at the head until their
record Is beaten. The animals that
have secured records are not superior
in points, nor is the color of any conse
quence. Actual work or performance
must he the test and on such a founda
tion all classes of stock will be rapidly
improved.
Winter Care of Lamb3.
From the Michigan Farmer.
Too manv farmers do not give sufficient
care to their lambs during the first winter
of their existence. Since the advent of the
mutton sheep a great many farmers breed
their lambs, which is a great mistake if
they desire a profitable flock of sheep.
Others who do not commit this error sim
ply run them through the winter as
cheaply as possible, and the lambs come
out in the spring little, if any. heavier
than they were in the fall. They have
perhaps grown some in the frame, but
have not attained the development that
they ought to reach when they are a
1 year old. With lambs as with^all other
: young stock, it is necessary to get de
velopment while young, if at ail. It v'tfi
j pay well to give the lambs a little grain
1 ration and somo roots for suecuent feed
if silage is not available, during their first
winter. They will make larger sheep,
. have better constitutions, produce heavier
fleeces and be a more desirable founda
tion for future breeding operations than
if simply carried throue-h the winter
upon roughage of inferior quality, ns is
too often done. If it pays to keep them
at all. it pays to keep them well, and tho
farmer who does not do this is apt to
condemn tho breed of sheep which he mov
happen to have or the breeding stock
which he has purchased for the improve
ment of his flock when the fault is'really
hia own.
Geese Are Paying Stock.
B. F. Kahler, in American Cultivator.
Geese can be raised at a‘ low cost on

Warm Milk for the Calf.
From the Michigan Farmer.
Don’t ever feed the little calf cold milk.
If you had ever made cheese you would
know better.
A calf’s stomach is like a cheese vat of
milk after the rennet is added. The rennet
taken from a calf's stomach coagulates
the milk in the cheese vat the same as it
coagulates the milk in the calf's stomach.
Every cheesemaker knows that rennet
will hot act upon cold .milk In his cheese
vat. neither will it net upon the cold milk
in the calf's stomach, until the calf has

ture. Cold milk causes the calf to shiver,
deranges his digestive machinery and
renders him unable to make a thorough
assimilation of his food and seriously Im

STUDENT MAKES A TEST CASE.
ATHENS, Ga., March 4.—Henry F.
Jones, a law student in the University
of Georgia, has through his attorney.
Joseph Lumpkin Hull, of this city, filed
a suit in Clarke Superior Court again *
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and
the Atlantic Coast Line as lesesees of
the Georgia Railroad, asking damages
in the sum of one thousand dollars on
account of the refusal of the Georgia
Railroad agent in this city last Decem
ber to sell him a ticket from Athens
to Waynesboro. There is a. statute that
requires a railroad to sell through tick
ets over connneeting lines, and the road
from Augusta to Waynesboro, belonging
to-the Central, is claimed to be a con
necting line under the law. This law
nrovidcs a penalty of one thousand dol
lars for failure to sell through tickets.
This is the first case of the kind ever
brought in Georgia, and its progress
through the courts will be watched with
interest.
