several months to get an adju9tmcnt OF

settlement on the following terms:
Take the amount due the State on
July 10, 1892, for money. expended in

the State by the United States and
calculate interest On balance to jane

that date.
Add to this amount the sum due

of time than did similar stecrs fed hay
and 1902 pounds of chop. In This
case $50 pounds of cottonsccd proved
more than equal to 1862 pounds of
chops for steer feeding. In this case
steers were fed for cighty-thrco days u
daily ration of corn and hay (weighing
1874 pounds), causing a gain of 80
pounds per day, while the ration Of
cottoDseed, corn and hay weighed only
14.9 pounds, and caused gain of 2.O7
pounds. When fed corn and hay alone
an SO0-pound steer may be expected
to gam at the rate of two pounds per
day under favorable conditions for a
short fattcning period. When cotton
seed is judiciously combined with corn
and hay, or corn and hulls, the gains
run as high as 2.5 or 3 pounds every
day for such steers. 1t IS important
to note that these fast gains arc secur-
ed from rutiOns that in the Southwest
cost less than ration composed of hay
and corn. Therefore the present
presumption that 33 1-3 pounds of
seed is equal to about % pounds of
corn appears entirely safe and con-
scrvative. The demonstration OF this
fact has forced a recognition Of The
value of cottonseed and it is now worth
commercially onc-half as much per
bushcl as corn.
Comparing the amount of available
seed III the State for feeding purposes
with The number of cattle to be fed a
winter ration, annually (allowing 20,
900, 900 bushels Of seed for planting
seven million acres of cotton, cstimul-
ing the number Of cattle upon winter
and partial winter rations at 1850 900
head, which IS more than half of the
5000 900 head Of cattle in Tcxas), we
see that 23 bushels of seed arc pro-
duccd for every animal thus estimated
upon, or sufficient amount of seed to
feed 100000 head of750-pound steers
a full seed ration O2.5 pounds per day.
Tor ninety days, when in combination
with ordinary hay. II is Il fact worthy
Of note that feeding value Of the seed
is not largely diminished by cooking
the meats and extracting the oil when
sent to the oil mills.

five acres in 1873. All the tcnderer
varieties of apples so planted long ago
died, and probably not to exceed one
third of the original trees are left,
these being largely of Duchess and
Wealthy. Aside from the fruit used
by the family, he has sold from This
little orchard in the twenty years since
the trees began to bear fruit apples to
the value of $4,000, making an aver
age annual income from each acre of
the orchard of $lO5, which has been
nearly all clean profit, IA the fruit has
been always sold upon the tree.

DELAYED ny MIR. PETT1GREw
lie opposes Consideration of Two
BilIs In the Senute.


The bill to authorize the purchase of
the property known as the Corcoran Art
Gallery for use by the Court of Claims.
was called up in the Senate yesterday. and
an unsuccessful attempt was made to Sc
cure its passage. The bill. which appro-
PIRATES sS32,50es for the purchase of the
property. which is located at the corner
OF Pennsylvania Avenue and Seventeenth
Street, had been favorably reported by Mr.
warren, from the Committee on Public
buildings and Grounds, and was called up
by him.
Mr.. Pettigrew objected to the considera-
uon OF the bill at that time. He said he
was opposed to having the Government
BUY detached pieces of property here and
there all over the city, and favored a
general plan for the construction of public
buildings along the south side of Penn
sylyania Avenue. He said he hoped to see
the Avenue beautified in this manner, and
referred to the postoffice building as
barn and as unworthy of the Government
He hoped to see public buildings erected
with parking about them so that they
might be architecturaIly worthy of the
city.
Mr.. Warren said he agreed with what
MIR. Pettigrew had said but in this espe-
cial case there was a necessity for prompt
action, and he hoped that the Senator
from South Dakota would so consider
Mr.. Pettigrew, however. persisted IN his
objection. and the bill went over. A short
time afterward Mr., Pettigrew, in a similar
manner defeated an attempt to secure
consideration of the bill to abolish grade
crossings on the line of :he Pennsylvania
Railroad within the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Mcmillan called the bill up, and one
page of il had been read by the Clerk
when Mr.. Pettigrew arose and said that
as there were some matters in connection
with the bill which he desired to look up
he would object to its consideration at
that time. 1t accordingly went over. but
1t is understood that an attempt will be
made to call it up again either today or
in the near future.
