Experiments in Feeding.

The superintendent of the model farm
at Guelph. Canada, gives as below the
results of some experiments made there
in cattle breeding:
1. A steady frosty winter is better
than an open one in feeding cattle.
?. An average 2 or 3 year old steer
will eat its own weight of different ma
terials in two weeks.
3. Two or year old cattle will add
one-third of a pound more per day to
their weight upon prepared hay and
roots than upon the same materials I'M
prepared.
4. 1t is 80 per cent. more profitable to
premature and dispose of fattening cattle
at two years old than to keep them up
to three years.
5. There is no loss in feeding cattle
beast well upon a variety of materials
for the sake of manure alone.
6. Farm-yard manure from well-fed
cattle years old is worth an average Of
$3.50 per ton.
Z. A 3-year-old cattle beast, we'll fed,
will give at least one ton of manure ev-
cry month of winter.
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay
for the direct increase to its weight from
the consumption of any kind or quantity
of food.
9. On an average it costs - cents for
every additional pound of flesh added to
the weight of 2 or 3 year old fattening
steer.
10. In Canada the market value Of
store cattle can be increased Sc per cent.
during six months of finishing by good
feeding.
IL. In order to secure a safe profit,
no store cattle beast. well done to, can
be sold at less than A cents per pound
Give weight.
IL. In the fattening Of wethers, to
finish as shearings, the Cotswold and
Leicester grades can be made up to 200
pounds, the Oxford down $50 pounds.
and the South down (grade) 1G0pounds
each, live weight.
Is. A COW wintered upon two tons
and half of hay will produce not far
from FIVE tons of manure. provided that
she be well Uttered and none of the ex-
crements be wasted.

A Chicken Pie.

This favorite dish requires as basis
well-made pastry, which need not, how
ever, be of the very richest sort. Fer q
large family, or dinner company in q
small family (say sixteen persons), a
gallon baking-dish should be chosen OF
brown or white earthenware. Let the
cook have ready killed four small but
fat chickens, cut into quarters, the giz-
yards and livers being carefully in
Guided among the ingredients. Let
them lie all night in a cool place. in
water Slightly sailed. For pastry, allow
one pound and half of flour, six
ounces of butter, and six ounces of lard.
Take half the -four and make it up into
g soft dough with little cold water. a
teaspoonful of salt, and small portion
of the butter and lard already measured
out. Handle it as lightly as possible,
and lay the dough upon your pastry
board rs soon as it will stick together,
and has been worked smooth. Roll it
out thin, and with knife put little bits
of lard and butter all over the surface;
dredge thickly over some of the re-
served half of the flour; then fold the
dough over, making the ends meet in
the middle, and roll out again; repeat
this until all the butter, -four and lard
have been used up, each time dotting
the whole surface over with butter and
lard. and handling lightly. 1t should
be rolled four times at least, to be prop
erly fiaky. The colder pastry is kept
during the process of making, the nicer
it is, and to this end marble slab con-
duces instead of a common biscuit
board. Line your baking-dish with a
layer of this pastry as soon as it is
ready. Fill the dish up with the pieces
of chicken, laying them little care
fully, that nice morsel may come to
each slice. Add two tablespoonful of
butter (or one quarter of a pound, to be
exact) cut into small pieces, and dredge
the chicken plentifully with -four, that
the gravy be not watery. Now add
teacup full of water, seasoning with
pepper, salt, and parsley or celery.
Now cover in the chicken with q top
layer of pastry. Crimp it prettilly all
around the edges, and set in the stove
to bake. Let the oven be steadily
heated, but do not let the pastry get
burned. The best made pie is spoiled
by careless baking. One hour is enough
to allow for the baking. if the chicken
has been stewed little first, which
should always be done.-Harper's

SOME excitement has been occasioned
in the Departments at Washington by

William Curtis and others, advising
Government employees that if they
contributed money for election ex-
penses, as requested by Chairman Hub
bell. of the Republican Congressional
Committee. they would be liable to
prosecution and punishment under the
laws of the United States. The Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League
propose to bring the matter to the at
tention of the Attorney General. The
situation is naturally somewhat en-
barrassing to the clerks, who are thus,
rs it were, placed between two fires.
Mr.. Hubben Indignantly scouts the
idea that there is any infraction of the
law involved in this matter. and pub
licly challenges Mr.. Curtis to make
good his assertion. Mr.. Curtis rejoins
that any discussion between Mr.. Hub
bell and himself would be fruitless;
90 that the Association propose to bring
the matter to the attention of the At
torney- General, and his opinion is of
more importance than Hubbelrs or
mine"

CONGRKDSlONAL NOTES.
TIE House, on the e1st, took up in com
mittee Of the whole the bill to reduce in.
ternal revenue taxation, and Mr.. Kelly, Of
Pennsylvania, explained the provisions Of the
bill The bill in question proposed to make
areduction in the revenue Of less than ST..
10000 to take effect Immediately, and lest
than 5000, 600 to take effect the LIST of May,
| 1883. Last year the Government had sur.
plus Of 81, 005, 900. 1t had then collected
$500, 0O0, 900 from all sources. This year II
would collect over $400, 600. 900, and ex.
penditures have been greatly reduced.
UNDER the bill authorizing the Secretary
Of the Treasury to report to Congress the
claims Of States and Territories for expend.
itures made in repelling invasion and sup
pressing Indian hostilities, Texas will
claim about 81 ,5O0, 900, Kansas about $24O,.
600, Nevada about s323, 200, California
about $40. 900, Colorado about SO, 900, and
Oregon about $50, 900. This bill has passed
both houses, and on the Goth was sent to the
President for his signature, so that it will
doubtless have become q law before this
meets the eye of the reader.
A RESOLUTION has been introduced in the
Senate, and referred to the Committe on
Education and Labor, for a committee of
investigation into the labor strikes, their
causes and the remedy; the committee to
sit during vacation, to visit different places,
to send for persons and papers, examine
persons under oath, etc.
In the House, on the 22d, Mr.. Morrison
OF Illinois made speech of some length in
opposition to Kelley's bill reducing the in.
ternal revenue tax. He said the proposed
bill reduced those taxes which were the
least burdensome, while it retained those
most burdensome. The Government had
no surplus of $l35, 100000. That was to say,
il It were intended to pay the public debt
when payable in the next ten years, the ex.
penses of the Government would not aver
age less than $50, OOO, 900 per annum. The
abolition of internal revenue tax meant an
indefinite continuation of the public debt,
and he was not in favor of it. Taxation was
a privatfon, and he was for collecting the
tax from articles which could be best spared
and man could spare his tobacco and his
spirits better than he could his sugar and
necessities. Mr.. Morrison's speech was
considered of especial importance as out
lining the probable course Of the Democrats
in opposition to the bill.
THE Senate on the 22d passed the Bank
Charter bill, also the bill granting the Mis-

ritory.
LEADING Republicans have decided in
conference that the business of the House
could be disposed of by the 10th of July,
and that If the Senate concur, Congress can

A PSLYGANIOUS BLUFF.
The Cheeky Resolution of the Utah
Legislature-A Protest.

SALT LAKE, February 16.-At meeting
OF the prominent Gentiles of Utah tonight
the following preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The legislature of Utah, now in
session in this city, to-day adopted a concur-
rent resolution protesting against the passage
by Congress of any bills DISTINGUISHING
pOlygamIsts, but instead thereof, praying
Congress TO send a committee to inves tigate
the condition OF things in Utah; therefore,
be it
ResOlped, That said action is merely poly
gamous bluff, trick to gain time; that if it
wins, these very men will claim it as divine
lnterposition in favor OF polygamy, and use
it to excite the masses of the Mormon peo-
pie against the just authority of the national
government; that the fact that three fourths
OF this legislature themselves practical
polygamists, exposes the condition OF things
IN Utah without the Intervention OF an inyes-
ugating committee; that their action in
this case betrays their fear that the dis
franchising of polyganists will break up po-
lygamy, and therefore indicates precisely
what Congress ought to do; that we most re-
specially urge Congress not to be deferred
from perfecting the good work in which il is
engaged BY The protests of men who are ac-
knowledged polygamists themselves, and
who adopt this deferential attitude only be-
cause their ordinary attitude of defense will
not apparently serve them in a mortal emer-
gency; that there need be no fear OF convul-
sion or disturbance ii Congress now adopts
effective measures to settle Utah affairs, but
ii it does not the simplest duties of states
manship will have been disregarded, as they
have too long been, and the chance of peace
July settling Utah affairs will, by thus
much, have been placed in jeopardy.
