SENATOR'S as COMMISSIONERS.
Protest from Mr. Hoar an" o'"e''
,y,ipst such Appointments.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December l.
The Senate had a long debate In eHecu-
tive session. to-day, upon the subject Of
confirmation of the Hawaiian commis-
sioners. The debate was started by sem
ator Hoar, who made vigorous protest
saai,st the precedent OF appointing sena-
tors upon this commission. lie sald theSe
senators were appointed under the dlrec-
,ton of and became the duly authorized
agents of the President, TO carry out his
ideas and wishes. What became of their
functions as senators, he asked when
the report they make. as In the case
of the Hawaiian Commission, came before
the Senate. a coordinate branch or the
government?
The method of appointing senator's on
commissions was defended by Senator'S
Morgan and Platt. Of Connecticut, who
claimed that there was nothing incon-
sstent therein.

ton 10 the t0o-free exercise by the Pres

mar there was law on the statute-books

offices with pay at the same time, and
insisted that such appointments We're
contrary to the spirit Of American inst-
tutions.
Senator Aldrich was among those who
contended for the right of the President
TO call into the service of the country
the talents OF senators and members OF
Congress in other lines than those which
their offices indicated.
ARGUMENT AGAINST HOAR.
Senator Aldrch made the point that the
rosition OF commissioner I'm such duties
as those OF the Hawaiian Commission and
the Paris Peace Commission was not
inconsistent with the performance or SEN
atorial duties. Such positions were, lie
said. not offices in the severe interpreta-
,ion of the word, and 10 prevent the
Presidents calling for the services OF
senators for such work would too often

Calmuck Wool Growers.

One OF the most difficult tasks OF
government employees is accurately to
locate the country in which imported
wool is produced. This is particularly
the case in regard to the celebrated
Calmuck wool. The Calmucks are peo-
pie of the Monaghan type, and are
found in the Chinese and Russian en-
pires, as we'll as other portions of CEN
tral Asia. They are a wandering race,
and are very eccentric. Continually
on the move, they stop only at places
where feeding is abundant. When the
season for shearing approaches they
get aB near as possible to the most con-
venient port in the district they hap
pen to be travelling in. They seldom
ship their wool from the same port
twice in succession. They live in conf
cal. felt tents. which are set up in
regular lines, like the streets OF a
town. They pride themselves on their
small, tough, high-spirited horses, and
these, with excellent cattle and broad
tailed, rough-heeced sheep, constitute
their wealth. They are great gam
blers, and the shearing season, which
throughout is a period of merrymak-
ing, brings out this vice in an extraor-
binary way. Their favorite practice is
to gamble on the speed Of two or more
of the most adept shearers. A CAL
muck may begin his shearing a COM
paratively wealthy man and end the
season by being a beggar. But he
never frets over his losses. He starts
out again confident of restoring his
fortunes. and often within year he is
better off than ever. But this does not
cure his mania for gambling, which he
will follow so long as he has anything
to gamble with.

How mornes Arc selling.

Good horses of the cob pattern, stand
ing from 14.2 to 1872 hands at the
shoulder, thickly and compactly built,
up-headed, long necked, good-boned,
with neat heads and plenty OF good ac-
ton are at present selling to better ad-
vantage than ever before in the his
tory OF the American horse market.
The prices paid for good individuals
or this type have of late varied in the
west from $1,000 for a finished per-
former all ready to go right to work In
the city, to $3.50 for a neat one 10
hands but low in flesh. For example
a farmer from Grundy county, this
state, last week brought to this city a
good lot of horses to be sold at auc-
ton in the horse market. percheron
grade weighing 1880 pounds brought
S2S5, bay that weighed in the same
notch brought 1925. The others in the
consignment were sold for prices rang
ing from $40 to 5000, the most of them
right around the latter mark. The
horses were all taken on German ex-
port account. The week before an
Iowa farmer offered in the Chicago
market an eighteen hundred pound,
spotted grade Percheron that brought
him $3.50 at auction. This geldlng was
got by an imported Percheron stallion
that weighs 2,100 pounds and his dam
was the fourth Percheron grade from
a spotted Indian pony, whose peculiar
color had descended but little changed
through all these generations, having
five crosses of uncontaminated Per-
cheron blood the spotted gelding was
practically pure bred.

Tho Russian Thistle.

Look out for the Russian thistle II
is here and it has come to stay, says
Farm News. Last year the writer saw
a good many specimens east of the
Mississippi river, some of them along
the railroads of Ohio. Last fall good
many thistles went to seed and the
winter winds blew them hither and
yon all across the country. This
spring there are good many places
where Russian thistles are springing
up miles away from the place where
the seed ripened last fall. This Is es-
pecially true of the prairie sections Of
Illinois, and it is safe to predict that
the battle with this pest is on. Every
man must use his best efforts to de-
stroy every specimen on his land, II
he would have any peace handling his
crops OF grain. We have been watch
ing specimens grow along one of the
great railroads, and it is surprising
how rapidly they shoot up and how
thickly the land has become seeded
with them In some places. II one OF
these plants get start, 1t soon throws
out side branches and the shade kills
any other plant near the thistle, and
II the thistles are thick enough every
other kind of vegetation disappears. A
single plant where it grows alone will
often cover a circular spot three feet
in diameter before the season is over.
1t is the worst weed pest we have ever
been called upon to fight, aud 1t should
be kept in subsection from the first

Fermentation in Crops.

Frequently one or two hens in flock
will droop, and on examin alton their
crops will be full, water will run
from their beaks when they are held
heads down, and an offensive odor will
be noticed. 1t usually happens when
sour food has been left for the hens to
consume, indigestion occurring, the
food fermenting in the crops. The rem
edy is to give only as much food as
the hens can eat at meal so as to per-
NIT of none remaining over to sour.

hold all food for y-eight hours,
