The stationery account Of the senate
is likewise amusing, for outside the
line of strict stationery, Secretary Ben
nett reports the purchase of wrist bags
manicure sets. chateIain bags, card
cases, and numerous articles of this
sort, which would create a laugh if
found on the person OF a United States
senator.

! WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30.-Ihe
! annual report of the secretary OF the
! senate always affords more or less
amusement on account Of the disclos-
ures it makes regarding the eXpendl-
lures of the contingent fund OF the SEN
ate. The last report of Secretary
/ Bennett, recently submitted, is no eX-
ceptiOn to the rule. 1t is interesting
to note some of the items for which
government money has been paid out
Some idea of the elegance with which
the senate committee rooms are now
; furnished is gathered from his state
ment showing the expenditures MADE
in furnishing the room of the com
mittee on pensions. The total cost OF
furniture for this room was $l6S6- The
furniture for the most part is mahOg
any, and of an expensive quality. II
addition to the large committee table
and committee chairs, the senate pur-
chased one leather arm chair at SAP;
two mahogany and leather revolving
chairs at S27 each; one leather rock
ing chair at $44; two leather arm
chairs at $42 each; one leather sofa
at $S7, and a typewriter desk at $50.
and so on. The committee on pen
sionS, however, is not considered one
OF the we'll furnished rooms about the
capitol
Further along the report of Mr.. Ben
nett is found an item as follows: ITO
J. T. Hunt for winding clocks of the
United States senate for the month OF
July, $40 This means that the SEN
ate expends $3.50 a year merely for
having its clock wound. This expendi-
ture does not provide for repairs
cleaning, etc.
1t costs the senate 5000 a month
during session to have its towels wash
ed and ironed. This would seem like

would be useless to attempt to mention
all of the features which pleased the

the kind in the memory of those present.
Too much could hardly be said in praise
of these two players but the support
they received from the entire organiza
ton was scarcely less commendable
Many persons have said that they al

Farm Notes

The hard keeper is the horse to sell.
The easy keeper is the one to keep.
Give the horse bath occasionally.
By bathing the shoulders and keeping
the collars clean, many cases of CALLED
shoulders might be prevented.
1t is a poor rule that will not work
both ways. This rule applies to agri-
culture. The conditions that cause a
large yield of any product will also
cause lower prices for the same.
The digestive powers of a hog are
marvel He is short-lived and he does
not have time TO injure his constitution
by overeeting. The way he evens up is
to cause the dyspepsia in the human
family.
To keep seed corn it should be in a
dry place and not exposed to severe
cold. Selected ears should be hung
up where the air circulates freely, but
in a warm room. Corn thus kept sell
dom fails TO germlnate.
Should the implement shed have but
one door or opening it win be a good
which VIII be used first in the spring
can be obtained without removing the
rest of the machinery in the building.
The reason for this is obvious.
There is need of some science in
hauling out manure, One needs to know
the conditions Of soil, the kind of crops
10 be grown, the season TO apply and
the character of the manure to be ap-
piled.
Good results with potatoes have been
secured by mulching between the rows
with straw as protection during the
dry season and for keeping down
weeds. The mulching with straw has
long been known, and has its advo-
Gates. but one objection is that the
straw serves SIS a harboring place for
insects.
The common mode of feeding ami
mats is 70 give the grain in a separate
trough from hay or fodder. and at diff
/ ferent times, Such method Is preferred
because II saves labor. but the b.st re
suits are obtained by mixing the
ground grain With coarse food that has
been passed through the feed cutter.
/ Less food win then be required TO OBJ
/ tain re .ults. because the mixed food
viii be better digested and assimilat-
ed than when the substances are given
separately.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1903-12-09
Grain and Milk Production.

Results as shown in the milk pail
do not indicate so much difference,
pound for pound, in the various feeds
of the same class as is sometimes
claimed. Cottonseed meal, linseed
meal, either new or old process, high
grade gluten meal may either one be
instituted for another 10 a mixed ra-
ton without showing much difference
in the amount of milk. Whole meal
from corn or wheat or oats, barley or
buckwheat will produce about the
same yield whichever grain is ground.
In buying all the relative feeds the
market cost would be the main thing
to consider were it not that some
feeds have peculiar effects on the di-
gestive and milk producing organs,
and that the richness of manure va
ries considerably according to the
feed. The best all-around results are
obtained by a mixture of the leading
feeds, varied in proportions of each
according to the market. Bran is the
bulk maker, and should be a part of
all winter rations where much grain
and dry fodder are used-Massachu-
sets Ploughman.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1903-12-09

There are but few farmers, compar-
ed with the whole number. who do
not plant a larger acreage then they
can attend to probably, the conse-
quence being smaller crops in proper
ton tn cost than should be the case
Instead of forty bushels of corn per
acre the farmer should secure eighty
bushels The smaller yield is more
expensive than the larger, while the
time expended on twenty acres is
much greater thar on ten, the manure
also being distributed over too large
a surface TO permit of any portion of
the crop receiving a sufficiency of
plant food. If the expense and labor
bestowed on twenty acres could be
concentrated on ten, the yields would
be doubled, and leave the farmer ten
acres on which to grow some other
crop. In periods of drouth the farmer
who puts his work on the smaller plat
will give 1t better cultivation and save
his crop, while other farmers may not
be so fortunate. Intensive culture
leads to systematic rotation of crops,
and the land will be improved by a
diversity Of crops. All farmers have
manure. but they derive little benefit
therefrom, because they endeavor to
apply it over too much land. Give
the land the plant f5od and it viii re-
pay for all expense beslcwed.-Amer-
