Dnyid IL. Hill on His Experience In
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-EX-senator
Hill is on his way back to New YORK
He has been i'll, and only recovered In
time to finish his packing and get away
to-day.
on the subject of the Senate. Mr.. Hill
spoke in cordial appreciation of many OF
its members and of the body as whole.
He declared that no lawyer could serve
there without benefting by his expert
ence. His powers as debater are neces-
sarily quickened and improved. Legal
questions are constantly coming up and
call for something of the same eXamina-
ton and treatment that are bestowed
upon them in court. The Senate Is a
body for debate. Men who are not law
yers even become good debaters there.
1t was suggested TO Mr.. Hill that
popular criticism Of the Senate related
to the lack of power TO control debate
there.
Il sympathize in some measure with
that criticism" he replied. There ought
to be some such rule adopted, and l tried
during my term there to have one adopt
ed. My proposition was that where bill
had been the subject of discussion for
thirty days, a. motion to fix a day for
voting on it and all amendments should
then be in order and a vote taken on
that motion without debate. But the
Senate was obdurate. The change, sooner
or later. will come, and when it does
come the Senate will be benefited and will
wonder then why it was delayed so long,"
PRAISES THE SENATORS.
Referring further TO the matter Of linn
iting debate Mr.. Hill said it ought not
to be carried too far. Too little debate
or debate too much restricted in a body
like the Senate, would, he thought, be
worse than too much debate. Then Sen
ate, he said, was intended to be a safe
guard against haste or immaturity in
legislation and consequently, should be
left with free hand, though not as free
as at present. On the subject of the
Senate, as now composed, Mr.. Hill made
IL plain that he took no stock in current
criticism Of that body. 1T is a strong
body" was his phrase. "and no man is
so well prepared to assert and maintain
that as one who has had opportunity to
study it,"
Mr.. Hill referred to several senators
by name i'm high praise OF their particu-
Gar gifts; and, If he spoke more than once
Of Mr. Hoar. IL was probably because OF

A NEw KANSAS INDUSTRY.
Frog Raising Is Becoming n Lucrn-
tive business.

Frog Raising Is Becoming n Lucrn-
tive business.
Speaking of new industries, word
comes from Butler county that the
frog leg industry is assuming consider
able proportions, says the Topeka Mail.
Many people have supposed that the
frog would naturally seek miasmatic
districts where ague lurked above the
skum Of swamps. This, we are in
formed, is a mistake. The Kansas frog
is said to delight in the clear ozone filled
atmosphere of the prairie and sings
song of unusual clearness owing to the
effect of the clear, bracing air on his
larynx. His ham is whittier and firmer
in texture than the ham of the frog
reared among the miasma-infected
swamps. Gradually Kansas is becom-
ing the abode of luxury, such as is un-
known by the unfortunate inhabitants
Of other states. In the line of fish,
fruit and fowl Kansas has long since
hit the high notch with epicures, but
we have sighed in vain for homegrown
frog legs and oysters. The frog leg
problem has been solved. The only
thing remaining to be done is to fix up
oyster bays and bring the oyster back
to the home of his ancestor. Plant him
in an artificial pond in western Kansas,
where in remote, prehistoric age, his
progenitor whiled the happy hours
away. OF course there will be some
sad features about it for the oyster, for
he will see lying about him, unless they
have all been picked up within the last
year or two, the petrifled coverings Of
his departed sires. AS he looks on
their stony shells the new oyster will
naturally experience feeling of sad
ness as he thinks of the rocky times ex-
perienced by his ancestors, but that was
because they did not understand irriga-
ton and depended on the natural rain
fall of the country. Frog legs and ma
tive oysters are among the things that
can be banked on in the future Kansas.

took the Minnesota butter, at uniform
price Of IS 1-5 cents per pound. 1t cost
about 16 cents, delivered to those Lon
den dealers. The Massachusetts, but
ter was of equal quality, and, although
some Of 1t sold to dealers at 1912 cents.
the small packages were not liked by
the trade. This butter was worth 90
cents for local sale in the neighbor-
hood where made. Thus, as In other
cases, the western creamery butter was
sold at fair profit, over two cents per
pound, while the New England cream
cry butter was sold in London at less
than it would have brought at home.
The London retailers margin for profit
-6h cents, and about seven cents on an
average-was too great. The consumer
paid twice as much for the Minnesota
butter as the creamery in that state
received for it, and OF what the butter
cost the consumer, the farmer who sup
piled the cream got less than two-ffths.

The swordfsh come to American
waters grown UP. Of course, they vary
in size, but no young are ever seen here.
This fact has been clearly set out by
government report on the subject,
reports the Hartford Courant. The
young are found chiefly a the Meditcr-
ranean. After they are able to go it
alone more or less of them strike for the
North American coast-most of these
gathering about Block island. There
they lie and sun themselves on the top
of the water, the prey allsummer of the
fishermen and their spears. What in
stinct brings these fish across 5000
miles of water to spend a season and re-
turn?
The swordfsh is a favorite sea food
here in New England. Boston is its
chief market, but it sells we'll all about
here. 1t is solid meat, with Il distinct
flavor, and very edible. New York, how
ever, doesn't buy it. New Workers, who
hunt the markets of the world for new
things, will not eat it.

some good. but part of the feed will
be wasted. Breed up.
If any business is successful details
must have attention. One Of the de-
tails in the dairy is the performance
of each individual cow.
The more intelligent cow Is the
better cow she is. a fool cow is no bet
ter than fool man. The scrub Is not
as intelligent as the thoroughbred.
Considering all the fuss that is made
about tuberculosis, and the quantity OF
milk that is consumed, the disease does
not seem to be spreading much among

BUTTER FOR WINTER.
How to Keep 1t Where Cold Storage

How to Keep 1t Where Cold Storage
Cannot Be Had.
For keeping butter for winter use.
where cold storage cannot be had. no
plan is as sure to result favorably as
immersing the pound prints in strong
brine, and If q trife OF saltpetre is
added to the brine the plan will appear
to be safer. Butter will not absorb salt
from the brine; hence the plan of the
little muslin wrappers, or DIETER yeti
the little paper box which incases the
pat of butter like close-ftting enve-
lope and prevents the butter from get
ting bruised in the bath. We think we
have before recommended the sterilized
brine, simply strong brine boiled; and
after cooling, placing these pats Of but
ter in it and keeping in cool place.
and taking up the butter only as
wanted.
Where one has a very cold room Of
uniform temperature butter can be
packed in close-ftting, small packages,
and closely covered after placing on the
top of the butter either closely-ftting
layers of butter paper or paste made
OF very wet salt spread evenly over tho
surface before putting on the cover
closely. The facts are that nothing
very new has been discovered about the
keeping of butter not known to our
mothers, and, while cold storage is the
best, it Is only at the command OF COM
paratively few; so the old standby re-
ceipts have to be brought out and again
presented to public view.-Country

FREQUENT EARTHQUAKES.

Spot in California Stunned by Every
one Because of Its instability.
There is q place in California where
earthquakes may be said to be kept on
tap" said a Fresno county fruit grow
er recently. The spot is at the head
waters of the Keweah, at the border
of Fresno, Tulare and Inyo counties.
You can't hire an Indian or u Mexican
to 60 near that locality. They say it
is the home of the evil spirits. The
country is rugged and rocky-moun-
tains with deep valleys and precipit-
Gus cliffs. Snakes, scorpions, taran-
tulas, centipeds and all sorts OF hid
eous reptiles and insects seem to have
made the neighborhood their paradise,
for ,hey are there in very palpable
abundance.
But, in addition to theseattractions,
the region may be said to be in state
of perpetual earthquake. The ground
trembes and quakes continually, and
the rocks themselves seem to be grind
ing and grating against one another
constantly. as if subject to some great
internal force. These phenomena are
said to be more emphatic at night than
in the daytime. Frequent booming
discharges. apparently deep in the
earth, are heard, and men who have
heard both say they are exactly like
the mutterings of distant artillery. 1
have never heard anyone advance any
theory to satisfactorily explain this
uneasy aud perpetually disturbed con-
dition OF nature among the Keweah
rocks and hills, but it is there. If you
ever happen to be in that vicinity, ask
the first Indian you meet to guide you
to the spot and see how quickly he will
shy away and disappear"
