COMPLAINTS are often made that
young chicks Matched late do not thrive
as we'll as those Matched earlier. The
reason is that they receive less care,
the colder weather prompting strict
attention to those that come IN the un-
favorable season, while the later ones
must combat with vermIn to greater
extent.

BARLEY Is perhaps the best staple
grain, especially If mixed alternately
with wheat, buckwheat, or corn. Corn,
while it is excellent as change,is not a
good regular diet. Rice, well boiled
and mixed with barley or corn meal,
will be useful as change once in a
while. Brewers grains, if fresh are
relished, and the same is true OF malt
sprouts or dust If there is a mailing
establishment near, from which these
can be obtained.

AN American VINO VISITED France says
the gardeners are very careful about the
manner of gathering their asparagus.
They say that the neat asparagus knives
advertised In their catalogues are in
tended for delicate people who are
afraid of soiling their fingers, aud the
only proper way is to pick the shoots
by hand. They consider it quite i'm
portant to break them off at the point
where they are united to the root,
rather than in the ground above this
point, as we usually do.

Speculation in pork is very dull. Two
features Of the situation, rather anomalous
ones, too, are the small stocks and enormous
shipments. Anomalous features, because
nobody IS urging higher prices or believes in
higher prices because they exist. TIE ship
ments OF meats last week aggregated
1900, coo pounds and the shipments Of lard
100000. The theory is that everybody,
anticipating lower prices because of the large
corn crop, has been buying from hand 10
mouth and the warehouses everywhere are
bare. II is said that clique of English
Giddes Kirkwood and others among the
number, had orders for enough lard here
last week 10 almost clean the stock. The
market having advanced about &c per
pound, they got permission 10 sell their hold
ings and TO snip in December in stead of No
vember. This they did, making a handsome
profit, which they divided between themselves
and sheir principals, but, despite these very
bullish circumstances, everybody feels that
hogs are plenty and fine. They arc coming iu
very heavy. 1t is prophesied that live hogs will
be at 3 cents and pork al SO. Tue packers
have not been able TO sell short, and are con-
sequeDtly going very slow. They will make
their product very cheap or not at all. Jan
uary pork opened 715c lower at $40 80. but
climbed up l0c during the day and closed
216c above Saturday. February also closed
21@c higher at s21.O211. January lard
opened at Saturdays last figures, So. 75 got
down to $3.50 and closed ut S6.72<. Feb
ruary ranged loc above Janusry. Ribs
opened 21lc lower, and closed 2I<c higher
than on Saturday at S5.62l< for January and
S6.7211 for February.
AT the stock yard there were about fifty
carloads of Montona stock on sale. but they
were held shade above the market and few
sales were made. Natives were lower except
tirst-class holiday steers.
Hogs were active, but 109l5c lower than
on Saturday.

MORRISON on THE TARIFF.
Representative Morrison, chairman Of the
ways aud means committee, was asked to-
night by an Associated Press reporter II he
thought there was probability OF the enact
ment Of any tariff legislation the present
session. He replied he had not yet had an
opportunity To ascertain how the members
ielt upon the subject. II might be there had
been some modification Of opinion by the
representatives since the last session. II
was certain II there had not been some
change Of views by the Democratic members,
no tax reduction could be had except by
the aid OF the Republicans He added: II
do not propose to attempt any experiments,
but, II upon inquiry ind there is reason 10
think a bill proposing q moderate reduction
could pass this session, l shall certainly
bring In such bill" In snsger 10 further
questioning Morrison said il was not un-
likely that the discussion Of legislation ne
eessary 10 carry the Mexican treaty intD
effect, would open up the general
tariff question Tue new treaty with
Spain 10 relation 70 the commerce
OF the United States, CuoA and Porto REQ
would be discussed in executive session bY
the senate, and would not be Likely to lead TO
any open discussion OF the tariff questions.
AS TO the other work Of the session, Morrison
said he understood II WAS prop Ised u push
through the appropriation bills at once. There
might also be some laud grant legislation,
and this would take up most of the time of
the session.
AN INTERVIEW WITH CARLISLE.
Speaker Carlisle said to an Associated
Press reporter Tonight it was not probable
there would be any general tariff legislation
this session. ''There Is not time" be said,
''and as that new administration Is about to
come in Democrats aud Republicans alike
are disinclined to attempt anything like a
general revision Of the tariff now" The dis
cussion Of the Mexican treaty will,
he thinks, open up the general tariff
questions and lead to some talk upon IL,
but nothing lurtner. IL said It was possible
some attempts would be male this session
10 remedy certain inequalities In the present
tariff, but IL vas toO early TO predict the re-
suit. With respect TO any general revision,
he sand, even should they al agree that sueh
revision saould be made, When they came to
settle up the details they would ind such a
difference OF opinion that months would be
needed in which 10 complete the
WORK he was equally well
convinced that nothing would
be done in the matter Of cutting down inter
nal revenue taxes, because should such an
attempt be made Il would precipiiate the
whole question o; tax reduction. SPEAKING
OF the report OF the secretary of the treasury.
Carlisle expressed satisfaction with the posi-
ton taken by McCullOeh on the tariff ques-
tion. As 20 bis recommendation that q new
tariff commission should be appointed, Car
Isle said the present hllse woGii not con-
