Turnips and carrots make excellent
winter food For cattle they should
be sliced with root slicer, which does
the work very rapidly. Even poultry
cad consume such foods when the ma
terlals are sliced. The way to prepare
sliced roots is to sprinkle cornmeal and
bran over the mess and gi it to the
cattle or fowls at lelst once a day.
The advantages are that such foods are
succulent, easily digested, and afford a
change from the usual dry rations.
Ensilage should also be given If there
is supply on hand, but the root crops
will be found excellent, no matter what
the other foods may ee.

BALFOUR'S DRASTIC MEASURE.
MEMBERS WILL BE SUSPEND
ED HEREAFTER FOR THE SESSION


London. March s.-The excitement occasioned by
last nights IN the House OF Commons is still
very evident and when the House met at noon to-
day. IN view of possible disturbances, the whole
police force duty at st. Stephens had been
modified and reinforced by reserves.
John Redmond speedily and raised question
OF privilege arising from the painful scenes OF last
night" He said that members had been suspended
without proper steps being taken to Identify them
and that their removal had been accompanied by
undue violence. He satisfied. he said. that
members were suspended who had actually gone 10
the lobby TO participate In the division.
The Speaker. interrupting. pointed out that Mr.
Redmond was raising a question OF privilege
but point OF order II he was properly Informed
OF any wrongful suspensions. he, the Speaker
would be glad to take steps to rectify them.
Mr.. Redmond subsequently tried to move an ad-
journment, and appealed TO Mr.. Balfour to give
the members opportunity for discussion
Mr.. Balfour. remarking that he presumed It was
desired to institute means for preventing recur-
renee Of the scenes of last night. promised 10
slider what opportunity for discussion could be
given.
Mr.. Balfour subsequently gave notice OF a motion
TO be made tomorrow 10 suspend such offenders
hereafter for the remainder OF the session.
Messrs. Jordan. McGovern and Donelan the
members who. It is said. were wrongfully
pended
John Redmond said TO representative OF The
Associated Press:
The scene last night in the House Of Commons
was direct result of a trick the part OF the
government. 4 vote account for 100000 had
been brought up for discussion. 1t covered multi
tude OF items and included e 10000 for Irish
purposes. The discussion was initiated by English
members the English education question. and IL
universally understood that the whole night
would be devoted TO this English question. and
then the debate the remaining items would stand
adjourned. On this understanding a large number
OF Irish members, including some OF the most ex-
perienced members OF the party. left the House

voked outburst on the part Of the Irish mem
bers who were in the House The scene was one
most disgrac ceful to the English Parliament. We
intend TO raise the matter question OF prvi-
lege. AS a matter of fact, some OF the members
were turned out Of the House who took no part in
the scene and most brutal violence exhibited
IN the moving OF of our members. The action
OF the government IS likely 10 defeat its object and
will make the Irish more determined than ever TO
resist the governments plans 10 choke the discus
