CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

washington, Jan. 14.-The senate
passed the bill providing for the ad-
Justment OF the swamp land grant to
the state of Wisconsin, for which the
badger congressional delegation has
been working for a couple of years.
This measure puts an end to the long
standing controversy between the
state and the United States, quiets the
titles to great many farms and
homes, and eliminates the troubles
constantly growing out of the cases in
which the state has the legal title and
the Indian has the permanent right Of
occupancy, which has led to controver-
sizes over timber and other values.
Mr.. McLaurin (dem., Miss.) ad-
dressed the senate in support of the
Vest resolution, declaring the policy Of
expansion tC be unconstitutional.
After speeches by Messrs. Sullivan
(dem., Miss and Pasco (dem., Fla.)
on the Nicaragua canal bill, the Indian
appropriation bill was called up and
debated at length. During the course

duced by Mr.. Gray (dem., DELI author

val. After Messrs. Dayton (rep., Va.)

and Mr.. Low (rep., N. W
in opposition, Mr.. Berry (dem., Kano
took the floor in support of the bill.

Washington, Jan. 15.-In the senate
Mr.. Spooner rep, Wis., took Mr.. Al
len (pop.. Neb.) sharply to task for dis
crediting the report of the war inves-
tigating commission before it was
made The incident occurred while Mr..
Allen was speaking in advocacy of his
resolution for the appointment of a
committee of five to investigate the
conduct of the late war. He said he
had no desire to embarrass the presi-
dent, but so many complaints have
been made, he thought it time for a
rigid impartial investigation. He de-
clared he had no confidence in the
"Alger relief commission" now con-
Quoting the investigation.
Mr.. Hoar rep, Mass.) introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, that the people of the
Philippine islands Of right ought to be
free and independent; that they are alb
solved from all allegiance to the Span
ish crown and that all the political
connection between them and Spain is
and ought to be totally dissolved and
they have therefore full power to do
all acts and things which independent
states may of right do; that it is their
right to institute a new government
for themselves, laying foundation on
such principles and organizing it's
powers in such form as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety
and happiness; and that with these
rights the people Of the United States
do not propose to interfere"

preceding and Dnirying.

Breeding and dairying go hand in
hand, each largely dependent upon the
other. 1t is very easy for the average
dairyman to raise more young stock
than he needs for active dairy purposes,
and this surplus stock should bring him

creameries without Cows.

One Of the common mistakes in in
vestment of capital is the building of
creameries in general farming sections
that have few cows, the idea being that
the farmers will become dairymen as
soon as a good market for milk or cream
is afforded them. The promoters may
know that dairying should pay in the
section or they may merely be interest
ed in selling an outfit to farmers, but
the fact is not taken into consideration
that most men who have not had a
dairy training do not like the care of
COWS and will not burden themselves
with it. Their tastes run along other
lines because trained that way, while
the true dairyman enjoys his work, or
at least the profit his skill in that line
brings him. He understands his bust
ness and makes money, but the grain
farmer or the general stockman neither
understands nor likes it, and the cream
cry usually fails to change permanently
and successfully his natural lines of
farming National Stockman.

Breeding For Twins.

Mr. Lewis Bidwell, farmer in Sgd
ney Centre, Delaware county, N. Y,
has the opportunity to develop herd
of cows which will pretty nearly uni
formly bear twins and, other things be-
ing equal, would be more valuable than
ordinary cattle. Three years ago one
of his young cows bore twins and has
done SO each year since. Its first calves
were heifers, and one of these has been
bred and has borne twins Probably in
these last the twin bearing tendency
will be so well developed that it will
become hereditary. Or, if we follow the
old story, how the patriarch Jacob de-
veloped ring streaked and speckled
calves from cows of solid color by plac-
ing striped willow wands before the
watering places of the cattle, it may be
twins among cattle that have not been
bred to the practice of twin bearing.
When the cows are mating, let one of
his cows that has just mated with the
bull see another COW with twin calves
by her side When a few cows with
twins are thus developed, it will be easy
to increase their number. The COW has
much imagination and it is particularly
active at mating time But to secure
twins the COW should be in vigorous
health, SO that she will pass two recep-
tacles from her ovaries when she is in
heat. 1t is only the cows that do this
that can bear twin calves. There are
germs enough in the speematozoa Of the
bull to create 100 calves at each i'm
pregnation provided there are eggs
enough in the womb to be fertilized
But this double breeding will not ex-
haust the COW if she is well fed and
cared for nor will it shorten her breed
ing period for that is made shorter
rather in cows that are not allowed to
breed at all Boston Cultivator
