Sour MIX for Poultry.

Sour milk may be fed to hens, but
not to young chicks. Fresh milk
should be preferred, hut the sour milk
may be used for mixing ground grain.
When the hens have helped themselves
the remainder of the food should be re-
moved. For duchlings it matters but
little whether the milk is fresh or not,
as they will use it in a short tiine.

cuts. One of the advantages of having
the blade set at an angle is that, when
used as a rut scraper, it sweeps the
loosened earth sidewise 10 some extent,
and thus fills up the ruts instead of
merely crowding the dirt forward.
Besides the lightness, simplicity of
construction and efficiency which are
said to be among the merits of this ap-
paratus, its cheapness is also to be con-
sidered. 1t can be made so as to yield

THE APPOINTED SENATORS.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Vance,
chairman OF the committee on privileges

TO take his seat as senator from Montana

case OF the majority report presented yes.
port deals directly only with the claims of
Mr. Mantle, but both are intended to
cover us well the cases of all three of the
appointed senators-Messrs. Mantle, Beck
with aud Allen.
The question presented. according to the
minority report, is. Can the governor of a
state appoint u senator at the beginning
OF new term. the legislature being in
session and refusing or failing TO elect,
The report quotes the constitutional pro-
visions and the act of 1896 relative to the
election and appointment of senator's and
then contends that the original terms of
senators must begin 10y their being chosen
by the legislature. As there are but two
ways of constituting senator's. so there are
obviously but two ways OF creating vscan-
cles; one, the primary way. by the expira-
ton OF the constitutional term for which
the senator WIS elected; the other, the ac-
cidental or unforeseen or unexpected hap
pepipg OF some Casualty to or upon the
incumbent before his term ends such as
resignation, expulsion, or disqualification,
or any other cause that should take him
out OF the Office TO which he was elscted.
The majority say that the permissive
power controls and is paramount to the
mandatory power of the Legislature to
elect, which is iilogical in ,he extreme.
The Language is clearly intended TO give
the state executives the right to keep the
senate full by appoint aud nothing

variety OF elegant spring costumes. The
event was gayer than any the blue room
has witnessed during the past year.
The gold exported from New York today
amounted to 500 900. The free gold at the
command of the treasurer now aggregates
more than 81, 600. 900. and the treasury is

The CASE OE ROACH.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-A careful in
quiry discioses the fact tha: the resolutions
introduced in the senate looking to an in
vestigation OF the charges against Senator
Roach OF North Dakota were presented by
Mr.. Hoar of his own volition. and not as a
result OF any caucus action. 1t is also
evident tnat some Of the Republican Sen.
ators do not look with favor upon the res
olutions. They hold that the acts of
man before his election as senator are not
proper subject for investigation, provided
they have no connection with his election.
The Democratic senators were plainly
vexed at Mr.. Hoar's move. although they
had timely notice Of his intention through
the medium of the newspapers. 1t is in
timated that the Democratic steering com.
mittee will consult upon the matter, and
agree upon the course that snall be pur-
sued in the disposition of the resolutions;
but, il the opinions Of Democratic senators
are any indication, there does not appear
to be any feasible way to stop the iuyesti-
cation.

The SENATE OFFICERS,

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The introduc-
tion by Senator German In the senate this
morning OF the caucus resolution provid
ing for the reorganization of the force Of
senate officers means a transfer Of the
struggle from secret sessions To open ses-
slons or the senate. All offers of a COM
promise having failed, and all attempts TO
adjust the matter amicably iu private
having come to naught, the fght is now
to be waged in the open field just what
the outcome will be cannot be predicted;
but there is reason TO believe that both
sides are half-hearted in the matter, and
really do not feel sufficient interest in re-
organisation to make a very spirited con-
test on either side of the proposition.
