COMPLEXION OF NEXT NATIONAL HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Nov. al p.m.-Chair-
man Babcook. OF the republican congress
sional committee. made the following
statement 10 the Associated Press:
while l am satisfied that the repu6li-
cans will control the house In the Fifty
sixth congress. II Is impossible az this
hour TO indicate what the majority in the
house will be.
I'VE have no definite news from Illi-
nois. Wisconsin. Minnesota, IoEa. or
Kansas Ohio elected Is republicans GER
tainly, and two distncts are in doubt
From Michigan the returns indicate a
solid republican delegation. Representa-
tive Hawiey Is elected In Texas, Con-
gressman Boreing is reelected In the
Eleventh Kentucky. and S. ]. Pugh Is
probably elected In the Ninth Kentucky.
The election OF George ~. Davidson in
the Eighth Kentucky is in doubt with
the chances seemingly In favor OF his
election.
"Advices from Maryland show that We
have certainly elected four republicans.
Nineteen democrats OF the delegation
from New York state. and perhaps more,
will be republican. Fischer, Of the Fourth
New York district, is the only member
we have elected In Greater New York.
and Mahany. in the Thirty-seeond, is in
doubt. From Pennsylvania We have re-
cslved meager returns, but indications
are we have sustained some losses there.
Unofficial advices from western states
show that we have more than held our
own"
Secretary Kerr, OF the democratic con-
gressional committee. said at o'clock;
"The republicans have lost control OF
tho house. We will have from lS6 to 1SO
members and will organize the house OF
the Fifty-sixth congress. The majority
will be from Is TO . over the republicans.
and perhaps more. ohiciaI anvces muI-
cate democratic gains in some countes.sa
follows;

The Vow OF q Boy Nemesis.

Bring to me my large revolver and

Der boots I'm used to when in gore ]
freely wade. Hither bring my trusty
sandbag. bring the snickersnee, I say -;
for my day has come for murder, and
I'm going forth to STAY. l shall go
forth to the slaughter like a BRIDE
groom to his Joys, and. I'll fill the near
est graveyard with q string Of gifted
boys. ] shall brain the boy attorney
with a spasm Of delight; and the boy
who breaches Sundays, he shall fall
before my might. On the trail of boy
physicians gayly, gladly shall camp;
let the boy pianists tremble when they
hear my roaring tramp. When l strike
the boyish statesman he must say his
prayers and die; when the boy reporter
meets me, mark We how the fur shall
fly. For I'm weary and disguised and
my mind has lost its poise, have read
such beastly twaddle treating Of the
gifted boys.

Intensive Farming,

If farmers who delight in owning and
working large areas could see the crops
taken from small plots by the truckers
near New York city, they would re-
ceive an object lesson in intensive
farming, which would be effectual. On
Long Island and In New Jersey espec-
tally, there are dozens Of patches, not
farms, which, with the aid of few
hotbeds, are made to pay high rents
and support large families. The soil
is kept to the highest point of fertility,
every inch Of it is thoroughly cult
waited and every advantage is taken Of
the lay of the land. From the first
day that the weather will permit the
soil being worked until the ground Is
finally used for celery blanching, 1t is
constantly employed in crop produc-
ton; it is no unusual sight to see half
a dozen men industriously at work on
an acre or two of ground. 1t is the
same principle the florist applies to
plant and flower growing. If his
benches yield but one crop of plants or
blossoms during the year, his business
is failure. Every square foot of 1t
must yield two or more crops for a
profitable years work. :.

Steam Engines For Farm Use.

Because farmers always have horse
power on the farm 1t does not follow
that it must be used for every purpose
where additional power is required.
There are many kinds of jobs where a
small engine which any farmer can cas-
lily learn to run, will give better salts
faction and be far less expensive than
keeping horse. With the proper con-
nections so as to furnish the power
such an engine will do the churning or
run the milk separator. 1t will do the
washing and turn the grindstone in
summer, job that has disguised more
boys with farming than any other. One
of the best uses of the engine is to
make it turn lathe, where the young
people can cut out various kinds of
wooden utensils and learn skill in han
dicraft that will be useful to them all
their lives.

Buckwheat Bran.

THERE'S much less value in the bran
from buckwheat than there is from the
bran Of either winter or spring white
wheats. The bran has, besides, a
roughness that causes it to be very lax
alive, and 1t appears to have the effect
of poison to the skin when fed to
hogs. We once fed some buckwheat
bran to cows. 1t did not make as rich
milk as we had been getting from
wheat bran, and as the yield also fell
Off we soon stopped feeding it. There
is little nutriment in buckwheat bran.
as 1t is secured in these times. The
buckwheat flour is about as dear az
wheat flour, and none of 1t is suffered
to go into the bran. We doubt wheth-
er the bran has any more nourishment
than have the stalks of buckwheat
which, if saved, cattle will eat quite
greedily in winter, but generally with
the effect Of making their shins itch SO
that they will rub themselves against
the stables or stanchions at every
chance they get,
