Dakota a Substitute for Harrison,s Bill.

Dakot a Substitute for Harrison's Bill.
There seems to be great difficulty on the part
of the senate committee on territories to ar
rive at a conclusion regarding the admission of
Dakota The other day it was given out posi-
lively by a member of the committee that the
Harrison bill had been agreed to and would be
reported to the senate, but it was not reported.
Now it transpires that the committee have
since that time gone over the whole subject
again, and u member of tho committee says
they had agreed upon a substitute for the
Harrison bill The bill now agreed
upon will be termed the commit
tee bill, and creates a new state out of Dakota
south of the 45th parallel. 1t totally rejects
and ignores the Sioux Falls convention and con-
stitution, and provides a commission consist
ing of the governor, chief justice and United
States attorney of the territory to district that
portion of Dakota for the purpose of selecting
delegates to a constitutional convention, to be
held at fankton in December next. The cleo
tion of delegates to this convention will be held
on the 4th of November next Tho bill gives
the same territorial organization to North Da-
kota as now exists for the whole territory, in
cluding four judges, and names Bismarck az
the capital of North Dakota. In other respects
the bill is identical with the Harrison bill.

fragrance, having dead neutral taste.
The dairvman was sent for; had he
changed his herd, his method of feeding
or his system of butter making were the

only attempted Improvement he has made
was TO churn his cream sweet instead of
allowing it to ripen before churning

a small plat of ground, and on an adioin-
ing plat of equal size the ground was
packed as hard as possible by repeatedly
pounding it with "A heavy maui The
surface of both plats was then covered
with finely pulverzed soil to the depth of
half an inch, and, on June 3, three rows
on each plat were planted with seed of the
large red Wethersfield onion. Late
planting was disadvantageous to the yield
but the three rows on the compacted soil
yielded nine pounds seven ounces of

on the pulverized soil yielded but three
pounds three ounces. The percentage of
vegetation in the two plats was not
noticeaby different although the vegeta.
ton was prompter on the compacted soil.

MILK FOR HENS. Fanny Field thus
expresses herself as to the food value of
milk for hens: quite agree with the cor
respondent of the american PoulLru Yuyd
who AYERS there is no food on earth so
good Tor fowls and chicks as milk IN some
form For very young chicks we make
the clabbered milk into Dutch cheese,
and use the whey to mix feed for other
fowls and chickens. From the time they
are week old Till sent 10 market for
brolers, our early chicks have all the milk,
sweet or sour, or buttermiIk, that they can
drink. If the home supply of milk falls
shoIt of The demand, we buy skinned
mix at two cents quart. ana consider it
cheap. For laying hens in winter there Is
nothing better than II liberal supply of
milk. A pan of warm milk. with il dash
OF pepper IN it. every morning, will be
more effective IN inducing hens To lay in
cold weather than all Ine egg food in
creation. For iattening fowls we find that
boiled vegetables, mixed with milk and
barley or corn meal, put on flesh at an
astonishing rate. Don't be afraid to give
milk to fowls; from the time chicks are
given their first feed up 10 within the last
day of The old fowls life. milk may be
safely and probably given"
