Relative Value OF Dung and Fer
tilizers.

We are often asked the question which
is the cheapest in proportion to cost, COM
mon stable manure or good commercial
fertilizer. Both of these vary so much
that no positive answer is possible. But
if we take an average of each, as they are
usually found, we may make an estimate
which will give general notion of their
relative value. According to an average
of many analyses in this and other
countries, ton of good stable manure

Bills in Congress.

A reform that will limit the number Of
bills introduced in Congress is earnestly
demanded. There are thousands Of bills
and resolutions introduced which never
receive any consideration from either the
House or Senate. They cost a good deal
Of money, however, and they take up
valuable time of committees. They
block business because they get in the
way of more important measures. They
are generally private bills, and there is
always somebody behind them lobbying
vigorously for them. They are, therefore,
a great annoyance to Senators and Re-
prCsentatiyes. The work they impose on
the Government Printing Office is en0r-
nous. The reports made on some of these
bills are very lengthy. The printing of
them and the reports is very big Item
in the printing bill which the government
pays.
\ few figures will show how the num-
Der Of bills and resolutions has increased
in each succeeding Congress:
In the 3Sth Congress /, sos bills we're in
troduced; in the 39th, 2,35S: in the 10th, s.
1913: in the 41st, 1914; in the 42d, 5,94S; in
the 4Sd. 6,435; in the 44th, $3.50; in the

In the Forty-sixth Congress, of the
1O.O67 bills and resolutions introduced
only $50, or AZ per cent, passed. There
have already been introduced in the pre-
sent Congress many times more bills and
resolutions than can possibly be con-
sidered. In fact, the number is so large
that the DoOrkeeper OF the House has
demanded additional help. What

ATerrihle Mail service


In the February Century appears the first
of a series of illustrated papers on the
mainland and islands of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, entitled ''The Cruise of the
Alice May" The papers are the record
of an expedition in the interest of the
magazine. S. G. w. Benjamin, now
United States Minister to Persia, con-
tributes the text, and M. j. Burns sup
plies the pictures. OF the winter mail
service between the mainland and Prince
Edward Island Mr.. Benjamin says
From January until May, at least,
Northumberland Strait is frozen over.
The mails are carried across at the
narrowest part, near Cape TOrmen-
tine, or ,lourimain, distance of nine
miles. The carriers drag a boat over
the hummocks of ice, which is provided
with runners like a double keel. When
they come to open water they cross in the
boat. 1t is a dangerous ana arduous jour
ney, and few undertake it besides the
hardy mail carriers. For two or three
winters past the passage has been made
sometimes by the steamer Northern Light,
constructed especially for this service.
She has a frame of enormous strength,
somewhat of a wedge form, with a solid
shoe Of iron at the bow. Everything about
her was planned to enable her to crush her
way through the ice, which is often from
TWO 10 Jour l66J lHlCks tlGE COuIbeFlS lIOIH
PctOu to Georgetown, a distance of some
eighty miles, although she often has to
90 over two or three times that distance
to reach her port. In all the annals of
steam navigation there is no such packet
service recorded as this Of the Northern
Light. Sometimes the ice is so dense that
she can make no Roadway, but is iammed
fast for days and weeks, or carried to and
fro by the combined fury of ice and storms.
The passenger who starts in her for Prince
Edward Island in March has before him
the horrors of polar solitude and hazard.
In the spring of 1882 the Northern Light
was three weeks making this brief pas
sage, fast locked in the ice-packs. Some
times she was carried close to the shore,
but no one could bring aid to the starving
passengers, owing to the threatening con-
dition of the ice. 1t was only after burn
ing all the woodwork in the cabin for
fuel, and being reduced to the last bis
cult, that the worn-Out and hopeless pas
sengers reached the destined port. Think
of a civilized and enlightened people, in
this age, shut off from the rest of the
world by such a frightful siege Of ice and
tempest and snow! Nor is this an Occa-
siOnal thing. AS regularly as the winter
comes around, the islanders look forward
to this long Information and isolation.
Were it not for this drawback, the island
might be paradise"

4 few days ago a statement was pub
| Iished giving the names of senator's sons
who hold lucrative places in the Senate,
and who are clerks Of the committees of
which their fathers are Chairmen. The
publication gave the impression that
Senators are not at all backward in using
the patronage at their disposal for the
benefit of those dependent upon them.
There is no good reason, perhaps, why
Senator should not get a clerkship for his
son in the department or in either branch
of Congress, or appoint him clerk of his
committee, provided the son is qualified to
discharge his duties, and is willing to
discharge them. The chief objection 10
! the employment of Senator'S sons in the
Senate is that relying upon their fathers
position they are apt to neglect their
wuk. 1t is probable that some of them
instead of earning the money they draw
from the government are in the way.
Senators feel delicacy in requiring ser
vice from the sons of brother Senators.
The problem of providing for Senator's
sons. however. is in a fair way to be
solved. The Senate Committee on COntin-
gent Expenses have reported favorably
the resolution allowing each Senator
clerk. These clerks are to be paid So
day during the sessions of Congress.
1t is probable that these cosy six-dOllar-
a-day places viii be mOnopolized by Sen
ators' sons and nephews. There will not
be much to do, and if what lit lie there is
to 10 isn't done. only the Senators inter-
ested viii have right to complain. Ii a
Senator has a son who wants to spend
winter in Washington, OF who doesn't
succeed well in taking care Of himself, he
can utilize this clerkship to good adYan-
tage. The cost Of these clerks to the
government will not be very much-Only
about $4,000 a year. If, however, the
members OF the House should take a no.
ton to vote themselves clerks, the cost
would mount up. 1t would reach $500, GOO
or 400. 600 a year. 1t looks as if the men,
bers of the House were thinking about
demanding clerks. Bedford, of Colorado,
in his speech on Thursday said he thought
each member ought to be supplied with
clerk. II the Senators Save clerks, why
should not Representatives have them?
1t is not improbable that each Represen-
tative, including the red-headed orator of
the Rocky Mountains and the chrome
statesman of Texas, will have a clerk to
attend to their private correspondence be-
fore the end OF The session.
