Postoffice.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. "a
Constructively, the statehood bill was
today as usual, before the senate, but
as a matter of fact the admission OF
the territories was scarcely mentioned.
AS soon as the bill was laid before the
senate number of senators were af-
forded an opportunity to call up and
secure the passage of bills to which
there was no objection. They includ-
ed these:
Comforting jurisdiction upon the dis
trict and circuit courts of South Dakota
in criminal cases with Indian reServa-
lions; relating to town sites on coded
lands in Minnesota; authorizing the
detail of officers of the army as chief
and assistant chiefs of the Philippine
constabulary; providing for the COM
pulsory attendance of witnesses before
registers and receivers Of the land Of
flee.
The statehood bill was again called
UP and Mr.. Spooner took the floor. He
candidly confessed his Intention not to
speak OF the statehood bill, and then
discussed the presidents action in dis
continuing the postoffice at Indianola,
Miss, and refusing to receive the res
ignation Of the negro postmaster, Mrs.
Cox. He defended the president and
was responded to by Mr.. McLaurin
MISSY, who said there had been no
threats against Mrs. Cox. but who adj
mitted that she was Objectionable be-
cause Of her color. The session clos
ed with the passage Of private pension
bills.

PROFITABLE FEEDING.
Under Good Management the Butte,
Yield Can BE Largely Increased.

Under Good management the Butter
Yield Can BE Largely Increased.
Farmers do not fully realize the heavy
losses they suffer from failure to feed
cows properly. 1t is estimated that the
average annual yield of butter per COW
is 125 pounds. Every COW must first be
furnished with enough food for body
maintenance; then whatever she gets
over and above that amount goes to
make milk or meat. If COW is bred
along dairy lines-that is, if her sire is
a full blooded dairy animal-she will
not have a strong tendency to convert
feed into meat and will therefore con-
vert it into milk. So if she is well fed
from the time she drops her calf, is reg
ularly MIXED and made comfortable
quiet and contented, the more feed she
gets the more milk she will give, says
the Michigan Farmer.
Under careful feeding and good man
agement the yield of butter can easily
be raised to 300 pounds year. We
have about 100000 dairy cows in the
country. which are yielding about 1875,
100000 pounds of butter, which, at IL
cents pound, amounts to $206,205,O0c
If the 100000 cows were properly
fed, they would produce 3,300,000,000
pounds of butter, which, at 10 cents
pound, would amount to $495, 100000
Allowing for the extra cost that good
feeding would necessitate, there is GD
annual loss of over $3.50, 100000 becaus.
of poor feeding.
1t may be thought by some that such
an enormous yield of butter would
bring ruin to the dairy industry. l.
would to certain countries and local.
ties where feed is expensive, but the
farmers of the northwest need have nc
fear on this score, for they could and
would in a short time be called upon to
furnish European countries with their
butter, as we could furnish it and make
more money than we do at present nj
prices that other countries could not
possibly meet. In round numbers it costs
about twice as much to produce butter
in Denmark as it does in the northwest.
1t will take many years to bring the
average up to even 200 pounds per COW,
and those who begin now to feed right
will have the benefit of the good prices.
Present prices will be found entirely
satisfactory if cows are literally and
properly fed. During the year 1895,
under good management, cows returned
a net profit of $40 per head; during the
year 1896 they made a net profit of $50
per head after deducting the cost of
feed; during the year 1897 the net profit
per COW amounted to $3S per head,
making the average for the three years
$50 per head without giving any credit
for skimmilk and young stock

THE WINTER APPLE.

All through the west and northwest
the subject which creates the greatest
interest at the different horticultural
meetings is the development of a hardy,
productive winter apple of good quail
ty. New seedlings of not a little prom
Use are coming to the front each year,
liberal premiums being offered for such
as promise the qualities desired. This
territory is now amply supplied with
varieties of excellent quality, unques-
tionable hardness and adaptability,
covering period from July until
Christmas, and really no new varieties
need be sought for this season. But the
apple which may be kept under ordina-
ry cellar conditions until May is not
yet fully decided upon, if it exists at

POULTRY POINTERS.

Large ROSTERS with small hens is a
very poor combination.
Scalded milk and cooked rice will
often stop diarrhea in fowls.
Indigestion, one of the worst diseases
among poultry, is often caused by sour,
moldy food.
Eggs intended to be Matched in an in
cubator should never be allowed to be-
come chilled.
In order to have poultry tender and
juicy they must be fattened quickly.
Two weeks of good feeding are usually
sufficient
Use plenty of lime in the poultry
house 1t will kill lice, is good dis
infectant, will purify the air, it de-
stroys vermin and prevents gapes.
One of the best ways of feeding oats
to poultry is to put them in tub at
night, pour scalding water over them,
let them stand until morning and feed
them warm.
When the fowls are closely confined
or when the ground is covered with
snow, they must have bulky food Cut
clover hay well steamed is good, as
are also cabbage leaves.

Emit and Nut Seeds.

Seeds of peaches, walnuts, acorns
and the like should be in the soil now.
If the planting was neglected in the
fall, that treatment may be approx
mated by burying them in moist earth
packed close to the seeds and after
keeping the boxes in cool cellar for a
month put them out where frost will
moderately penetrate the soil. In the
spring they should be planted in rows
three or four inches deep. Where indi-
vidual trees of the oak or walnut are
wanted an excellent way of obtaining
them is to plant the seed where want
ed. Keep the soil of the spot titled,
driving a stake to indicate the place.
At first when the seeding comes up the
growth may seem slow, but several
chances to one you will have a large
tree sooner than if you waited and set
a tree eight or ten feet in height.

ICE AUeER AND HOOKS.

with the large saw. In ATTITUDES of the
middle south it may not be possible to
get ice fourteen inches thick. FIRE.
quently cakes six or eight inches thick
have been stored with very satisfac-
tory results. If the ice plow is to be
used for cutting, go over the field care
fully and mark all air holes or shallow
places SO these may be avoided. The
quality is always of first Importance;
hence choose only those portions of the
icefield which are pure and free from
contamination in any way. Good ice
can be secured from streams and
ponds, but great care must be exercised
to prevent the storing of ice that might
contain disease germs.
After the ice has been sawed into
blocks it is fioated through a channel
previously prepared to landing place,
where it may be run off to an icehouse
alongside the pond or river or loaded
directly on to wagons and taken to the
home icehouse. In filling the house
choose freezing weather if possible, as
the cakes will then go in hard and dry.
If the weather is soft and the ice con-
tains some water. the cakes freeze to-
gether, causing ain immense amount OF
labor in cutting them out. Not only is
the work difficult, but there is great
deal of breakage. Where it is stored
dry and cold there need be but little
loss from either cause.
AS the cakes of ice come into the ice
house they should be stored at the far
Their end first and gradually filed in
toward the front. Through the back
and center of the storeroom the work is
done most rapidly. Use wooden skid
for unloading the ice. In this way it
can be moved to any part of the room
without much lifting. AS the cakes
come along the skid grasp them with
an ice hook and guide to one side or the
other, as desired.
There are several methods of pack
ing ice, and almost any one can do the
work according to his own idea If the
ice is very thin, place the first two
courses on edge, packing as closely to-
gether as possible. The succeeding
courses may be placed fiat in the same
position they occupied in the water.
Arrange the cakes one directly above
the other, leaving a space of two inch
es OF more on each side. In every five
or six courses break joint. The rea-
son for this arrangement is that the
ice on the floor of the house wastes
rapidly, and by placing the cakes OH
edge the minimum loss is obtained.
The breaking of joints prevents the cir
