Dispatches from Washington indicate
that the President has settled the
seigniorage bill, but just how is not
absolutely known. 1t is inferred, how
ever, from the fact that he has written a
message that he has vetoed the bill. On
the other hand it is argued that if he
had signed the bill he would feel
obliged in self defense, to explain how
he happened to do it in the face of his
past professions. If the length of the
message could be ascertained it would
be more valuable indication of the
character of the document than the mere
fact of message. If it was long the in
ference would be that he had signed the
bill, for an attempt to reconcile that
with his professions would require a
great many words. Doubtless his
decision will be known today.

in a few gallons Of boiling water. then
add water to make up to fifty gallons,
retaining a temperature of about 20

fcient for fifty sheep. Each sheep
should be kept in the bath about three
minutes. When taken out it is laid
on a sloping drainer and the liquid
squeezed out of the wool and allowed
to flow back into the bath. A second

THE ROTHSCHILD'S EXCLUSIVES.

childS also managed to score an exclu-
siVe, which they used most profitably
on the Stock exchange hours before
even the government officials had the
slightest inkling of tie weighty news.
And now again history repeats itself
with this family, for in spite of all
the newspaper enterprise in London,
the ROthschilds got the first dispatch
from Rio Janeiro announcing Admiral
Benham's interference, and after they
had extracted all the financial value
out Of it they gave it to the London
newspapers. The famous Rothschr1ds
family have founded all their wealth
on exclusives" always managing to

is an historic instance of wonderful
enterprise, united with even more
wonderful luck.

ALFALFA.

There is a very large area of south
western Kansas in the Arkansas valley
where a successful agriculture has
been developed with alfalfa as the
principal crop. This agriculture is not
Of the single crop sort, but is as COM
prehensive and as diversified as that
of any portion of the state. Alfalfa
as feed is particularly suited for the
building up of bone and muscle in
young and growing stock as well as
for the PREDICTION of milk. Red Kaffir
and Jerusalem corn are almost certain
crops in this section and furnish the
grains necessary in fattening early.
Upon a knowledge of these two facts
there has grown an important stock
raising industry which has it's chief
merit possibly in the quality of young
stock that can here be produced for
shipment to feeders in the corn belt
A popularity of this region lies in the
fact that throughout this great valley
water in unlimited quantities can be
found at a depth which nowhere ex-
ceeds 10 Or u feet below the surface
By the aid of wind and other power
any quantity of water for irrigation
purposes may be pumped at a very
small cost.

SUGAR BEETS FOR COWS.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station has given the results of two
feeding experiments made during the
winters of 1S9O-91 and 1892 in
which cows were fed alternately on
ratiOnS containing either corn silacc
or sugar beets. Sixteen COWS We're
included in each test. and all received
basal ration consisting of six pounds
per COW per day, either of corn meal
or of a mixture of bran and oil meal,
with what hay they would eat in addi-
ton to the beets or silage
I'm addition to this basal ration. half
the cows were fed on thirty pounds
of corn silage each per day, and to
the other half fifty pounds of field
beetS were given per COW per day. At
the end Of three weeks the silage and
beetS were transpOsed, the meal and
hay remaining unchanged, and this
was repeated twice again at intervals
Of three weeks, so that the COWS were
fed through four alternating periods Of
three weeks each. All food eaten and
water drank was weighed: each COW
was weighed every day: the milk was
weighed at each milking and the per-
centage of fat in the milk was deter
mined once a week.
The dry matter in the various foods
was determined by drying at the tenn
perature of boiling water. the result
being that about % per cent. of the
Silage and 10 per cent. of the beets
was left as dry matter. The beet ra-
ton therefore contains less dry matter
than the silage ration: but the COWS
fed on beet ate so much more hay than
hose fed 9a SiIage o that mtaHf ttf
The cows gave more milk whole eat
ing beets, but not enough more to
pay for the extra quantity of dry
matter eaten. No marked difference
was shown in the percentage of fat
in the milk
This station has made four expert
ments on this point, the general out
come of all being the same. The sta
ton has also cultivated field beets for
ten years, and it is found that where
corn is at it's best, as in central Ohio,
it will produce nearly twice as much
dry matter per acre as beets will with
the same culture, so that the results
of these experiments do not encourage
the raising of beets for cow feed.
In all our experience in feeding
beets, which has now extended over
ten years, or more, says the director,
the COWS have manifested great fond
ness for them, and it is possible that
they may have a hygienic effect, sim
liar to that of fruit in human diet
which these experiments have not re
vealed; but apparently they cannot be
used with profit as staple feeding
stuff

TARIFF BILL CHANGES.

The talk is now that the democratic
senators have readjusted the tariff
bill so that it is certain to get the full
party vote. The most important
changes are in the income tax and
sugar schedules. Provision is made
that the income tax shall remain In
operation only five or six years, and
the sugar schedule is to be entirely
replaced by a new one which will es-
tablish uniform duty of 40 per cent.
ad valOrem with an addition of Is
of a cent for refined sugar. In other
sections of the bill, however, there is
a return to specific duties, and there
are some slight advances in the rates
on iron and carpets.
It is said that the sugar trust has
been the most important factor in the
work of reconsideration, and the re
suits seem to warrant this assumption
The trust has certainly secured all
it wants, and that was after the house
had pronounced against it by a very
decisive majority. 1t has riumpheo

AS TO IRRIGATION.

Uncle Sam has no good lands fit to
make farms out of left to be had for
S125 per acre, as was the case some
thirty odd years ago. The reclamation,
therefore, of our semiarid lands by irri-
CATION is a live subject that is stirring
not only the jewellers upon the great
plains, but men who are looking about
now for homes. Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado have a vast area of Semiarid
lands. and just how to irrigate these
lands is the thing we all want to find
out about Judge J. S. Emery, national
lecturer on irrigation, pleads for ma
tional aid through the columns Of The
Irrigation Farmer. He says:
The first step is a step to be taken
by the government. Not that we ask
this government from it's treasury to
construct the instrumentalities of irri-
cation, but what we do ask is that the
preliminary cost Of aScerta1ning the
economic facts necessary to induce cap
ital to enter upon the completion OF
this work shall be borne by the gov
eminent of the United States. Let it
once be shown by conclusive data that
a reasonable reward awaits the invest
meat of capital in the reclamation OF
the arid lands, and private capital will
rush in and complete such reclamation.
Show private capital that it has
chance, and it will not hesitate to
build storage reservoirs. both in the
mountains and ON the plains. where
such reservoirs are practicable, in
which storm waters may be gathered
and held for use in the dry months OF
July and August for warding off crop

As soon as the general government
shall make an irrigation survey OF
arid America, private capital will
hasten to do the rest. Such a survey
would indicate the proper reservoir
sites for water storage, would also

reservoirs would irrigate, together with

to conduct the stored waters out onto
