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 made for army nurses. For river and harbor improvements the appropriation aggregated $83 Cfin.ooo.

The Immigration bill, one of the measures brought over from the long , es3lon, was completed under the spur SUGGESTIONS SUPPOSED TO INTEREST FARMERS ter to make them pack solid.

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. MRS.

Her tab WASHINGTON. March *4.—More than an hour was spent by the Hous In obtaining n quorum after meeting nt 11 o'clock Sunday, but when nec»s- essary number was secured business proceeded as usual. A greater part of the day’s session was given to the consideration of conference reports. Of these a partial report on their sundry civil bill and a partial report on the l>ifolIette railroad bill were accepted and the bills sent back to conference for further consultation with the rep resentatives of the Senate. The final report on the pension appropriation bill, containing a provision for the main tenance of eighteen pension agencies ■was agreed to. The bill authorizing the establishment of an agricultural hank in the Philippines was passed. At 6 o’clock the House took a recess until 8:30. After the recess the House agreed to the conference report on the general deficincy bill. New Orleans at Chalmette, La.: the Stevenson grand army memorial to be erected in Washington; Christopher Columbus statute for Washington; monument for TJppacanoe battle ground, Indiana. The conference report on the so- called 16-hour bill was agreed to by a. vote of 233 to nothing. ' The conference report on the sundry civil bill was agreed to and with bus iness generally completed the House at 12:10 a. m. took a recess until 9:30 tomorrow. 6ENATE SUMMARY SHOWS MUCH WORK. WASHINGTON, March 4.—The fili buster against the 'hip-subsidy bill, which wns begun Saturday, was. con tinued throughout the session today and assumed a humorous vein, tin der the direction of Senator Carmack, much to the enjoyment of the crowd ed galleries. The speakers on the subsidy bill wore interrupted frequently to permit the pas-age of minor bills, the adop tion of conference reports and the transaction of other business Incidental to the closing hours of the session. During the day and night the con ference reports on the pension and general deficiency appropriation bills were agreed to and there was a long dlscus*i>n of the report on the Lafol- lette railway employes bill which was sent back to conference. A report was afterwards agreed upon hy the con ferees. but the report had not been n :ed on when at 11:40 the Senate took a recess until 9:30 o’clock tomor row morning. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was agreed to the last minute, but the ship-subsidy bill had not been acted OIL A bill was passed for the establish- ment of an agricultural bank in the Philippine Islands. The free alcohol law cf that session was modified that farmers may distill the waste products of the farm to be denatured and used In the arts and sciences. The right of appeal In criminal cases was granted the Government, a meas ure intended to strengthen the anti trust legislation by affording a means whereby the Supreme Court may pa=s upon the constitutionality and con struction of suph laws. Women and Child Worker*. An Investigation was authorized re garding the condition of women and child workers. The Interstate Com merce Commission was authorized to ascertain If the express companies of the country are evading the railroad rate law of last session by buying, sell ing and handling on consignment fruit, vegetables and oysters. Reed Smoot was retained by the Sen ate as a Senator from Utah, ending a four years’ controversy. The Sen ate ratified treatises with -Santo Do mingo and Algeclras. The President was authorized to use his good offices to prevent atrocities in the Congo. The Senate also launched an exhaus tive Investigation of the Brownsville affray. Addressed House on “Combi nations That Do Evil’’in Trade WASHINGTON, March 4.—Repre sentative Fitzgerald, of New York, ad dressed the house last night on his reso lution designed to procure Information i ulations would be as follows, and she freshened just within the 12 months for which the milk is recorded: Pounds milk produced in 10 months. 1,411 Feed consumed— N Hay (estimated) 2% tons at $S $20.00 Gluten feed. 5 pounds daily for seven months. 1.050 pounds 14.17 Coarse bran, 2 pounds daily, seven' months, or 430 pounds j^p.O Pasture five months 5.00 Total cost feed $43.37 7.411 pounds milk at $1.37% 101.89 Less cost of feed 43.37 Net profit $58.52 She really did better than the above as she gave more of her milk during the winter season when milk prices rule high. She actually produced for us $1X5. which would be an actual profit of $13.11 more. S or $71.63. There is no doubt this cow. : fca as cows are fed to make yearly rec- ; ords for “fancier purposes," would nro- | duce 10.000 pounds of milk In ten months. . ! but the question is, how long could a milk is believed to be largely made , cow stand up under such feeding, and 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. SAVANNAH, Ga., March 4.—Having borrowed the few cents necessary for the purchase, Mrs. Belle Basier. 24 years old, took a large dose of poison this after noon at 2 o'clock. A few hours later she was discovered. The laudanum had got in its work, however, to a degree that rendered it impossible for the doctors to save her, though they took her to a hos pital. She died tonight at 11 o’clock. When found Mrs. Basier prayed that when she was dead God might take care of her little ones, aged two and one years. Her husband is dead. She complained that relatives would do nothing to assist in the maintenance of herself and chil dren. high-priced automobiles will not dis pose entirely of their supply of fine horses. The invention of the steam railroad, the street trolley cars and even the bicycle, it was thought by many, would do away with the use of the horse, yet he Is still very much in evidence in city and town, and com mands a good price. It Is undeniable that the use of auto mobiles will be extended, and these ve hicles will continue to grow as a source of pleasure and usefulness, and so. too, will be the building of carriages Jo be drawn as usual by horses. It i? esti mated that during the year 1906 there were 1,700,000 vehicles built In this country, two-thirds of which were con structed for pleasure driving, a num ber it is stated equal to the total pro duction of automobiles In the history of that industry.

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 dividuals and to increase the yield of his herd of flocks by grading them to a higher standard. In grading up animals the farmer should select from the best families of the breed he desires to raise. While pedigrees are essential in knowing how to breed for the best vet pedigrees and outward points should be compared with the records of the animals.

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.

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.

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 vear, the cost of the grass consumed 'b-^'ttg the -only expense, but' they should be fed through the laying and breeding season, and at that time will eat lots of grain. ture.

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.
