(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-The Dem
ocratic members of the Senate Commit
tee on Postoffices had another meeting
today with representatives of the Repub-
lican element in the Senate favorably to
the Omnibus Statehood Bill for the pur-
pose of discussing the possibility of yet
securing compromise which may be ac-
ceptable to all parties. The Democratic
members of the conference assured the
Republicans that the rejection of the set
tlement proposed by the Republican side
Of the Senate as a whole is final. They
were then requested to suggest a basis
of agreement themselves. Replying that
they could only speak for themselves the
Democrats suggested that New Mexico
and Arizona might be admitted as one
State with the understanding that Ari-
zona may become separate State upon
the attainment OF a population og 100000
within the present area of the territory
and upon the vote of the people of that
area alone. The Republican conferees
promised to present the suggestion to
other Republican Senators. Those pres
ert at the conference were: Senators
Clay, Dubois and Simmons. Democrats;
and Senators Quay, Foraker. Gallinger
and Mason, Republicans.

A CAUCUS CALLED
Democrats to Fight Over
ButIer-W -Wagoner Contest
ed Election Case.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-The DEM
ocrats of the House have called caucus
for tomorrow morning to act upon the
flibusterng program which the Demo-
cratic leaders have4decided upon for the
remainde rof the session.
Yesterday when the majority of Elec-
tions Committee Number 2 presented
their report in favor of unseating Mr..
Butler of Missouri. whose seat is being
contested by Mr.. Wagner, the Demo-
cratic leaders at the request of the Dem
ocrats of the Missouri delegation served
notice on the Republican leaders that if
an attempt was made to cali up the case
for action they would do everything in
their power to block the wheels of legis-
lation until March L. No reply was
given but a truce was patched up during
the afternoon upon the understanding
that "a response would be given this af-
ternoon. Shortly before adjournment to-
day Speaker Henderson notified Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader that the
case would be called up tomorrow.
1hereupon the call for the Democratic
caucus was issued.
The Democrats are organizing for a
fight to finish While their action
probably will not jeopardize any of the
appropriation bills, if they stick to their
program of demanding a roll call on
everp proposition and insisting upon the
presence Of a quorum they can greatly
embarrass the majority and defeat many
minor measures which would otherwise
pass

POULTRY NOTES.

Fresh dirt makes good winter
Iooring.
Hens need fresh drinking water as
veil as horses.
Watch the little things" and be
INSTANTLY regular.
Now is the time to rid your flock
undesirable fowls.
An exclusive diet of corn will pre-
mt hens from laying.
Old hens do not pay as we'll as pull
is and two-year-old hens.
Don't throw money away by feed
.4g a lot of culls and drones.
All meat and milk products should
ne given as fresh as possible.
It is a good plan to soak the oats
mat are to be fed; it helps diges-
ton.
Don't forget that animal feed of
some kind is absolutely necessary to
give the best results.
Roup is very difficult to cure. One
of the latest remedies is to add ia
bIespoonful of chlorate of potash to
each quart of drinking water, and three
parts sweet-oil once a day, and ten
drops down the throat.
Bear in mind, when you feed, that
a hen not laying will require less food
than a laying hen. Separate the lay
ers from the others, or you will have
one-half of them too fat.
Did you ever see a hen go into the
shade to dust herself? She goes into
the sun, makes the dust fly, and then
rolls over on her side and suns her
self. Can't we learn from this that
the busting box should always be kept
in the sun?
Forcing the hens to lay eggs is SIM
ply assisting nature to perform it's
work in the highest degree. We sup
ply them with the needed elements
to make eggs All the sO-called ton
les and stimulants do little or no
good unless food of the right kind is
supplied. The tonics may increase the
appetite and the stimulants may force
the system to more active work, but
the gain is only temporary and in the
end a reaction is more than likely
to follow. If the right foods are CIV
en- the tonics and stimulants may on
occasion do good, but as rule a
healthy hen needs neither.

1t a man will make an estimate of the

TIMELY DAIRY T

The creamery is the farmers friend.
Good COW are scarce and hard to
buy at any price.
Break the calf to the halter before
she is a month old.
The man who keeps on good terms
with his cows will get more milk out Of
them.
The surest way to improve your cows
is through the use Of a good bull and
then raise the heifer calves.
Treat your cows as well as you used
to treat your best girl and they will
return your care in increased profit If
not in affection.
A good many things will give milk
poor lasting qualities, but none more
surely or more rapidly than allowing
filth to get into the pail from the cows
body while milking.
Guessing that this or that calf will
make a good COW is pretty costly BUSH
ness. It cost too much to decide
whether OF not your guess is a good
one. Better be reasonably sure before
you start out by knowing the calls

DAIRY COW F
They Can BE Materially Increased by
Simply Doing the Right Thing
at the Right Time.

Very few farmers realize the income
to be had from a good COW. The farm
er who keeps a cow a year to raise a
SIS or $40 calf usually thinks he has
done as well as any one. but his prof
its do not compare with those of the
dairyman. Except with high-pricel,
registered cattle, as a rule, the milk.
not the calf, is the most valuable prod
uct of the COW.
The milk produced by the average
Missouri COW will sell for about $50
at the creamery or when made MO
first class butter. A good COW Of tie
dairy breeds will make at least $50
cash income every rear.
I have a list Of about so Missouri
formers who report from $50 to $40
per COW every year, and these figures
do not include the income from the
calves and pigs fed on the skim milk.
But, says one, milking is a tremendous
task. AS a matter of fact, 1t takes only
60 hours time, worth about S., to milk
q Cow ten months.
Now, a few facts and figures from
~ SApCA1OASC, I'll lac 5olNSO 80
yesr the cash income from the herd
was $3.50 per COW for butter sold and
$3.50 per COW for milk, skim milk and
calves, making a total income from
each COW Of sos. This year the aver
age income from the same source will
be over 500 for the entire herd of %.
These incomes do not come from
feeding expensive feeds or excessive
feeding. They are not due to fine
barns or unusual treatment of any
kind. But they are the result Of doing
the right thing at the right time in the
proper way. We will try to teach
these methods in our short winter
course of which we are now mailing
announcements.-C. H. Eckles. profess
