Why not keep q book in which
you shall record all sales and expendi-

very poor idea Of what they are do

Feed makes meat, ana manure
makes feed; so it goes in q continual
round; and the man who sells his feed
and then deprives his soil Of its law

Better butter can he made on the

butter, are that he can feed his cows
on the best foods, use more care, and
work with cleaner surroundings.
The owners of sheep-ki4ling dogs
should be held responsible for the val

pay for the sheep devoured or man

Feeding Fowls.

Wheat and corn are standard foods,
as they provide the necessary materials
for the production of eggs, and also
because they are cheaper and more
conce utrated than many other foods,
and as long as wheat and corn can be
purchased at prices lower than other
foods can be grown, just so long will
those grains be used by farmers for
feeding purposes. The question, how
ever, is whether they are really cheap
when fed exclusively. They may cost
less, but the cost depends upon the
final result. If too much corn pre-
vents the hens from laying, by max"
ing thgm too fat to lay, then corn is
not cheap at any price; but when
wheat and corn may be made available
in connection with other foods. and
the hens are productive, there is moth

When the canal legislation was be-
fore Congress, Representative Hepburn
tried to have a provision inserted pro-
Vi,lin1; that the canal commissioners
should give at least six months tine
each year to resident inspection of the
canal on the Panama isthmus. This
was rejected, ana some members OF
Congress now assert that these COM
misSioncrs will have their permanent
headquarters in Washington, ard that
such salary as the President proposes
for them is prepOsterous. Cabinet
members. it is pointed out, receive only
$500 Il year, and a movement has be-
gun to keep the salaries of the canal
commissioners below that figure, prob
ably at $500 Il year each.
If the Senate should insist upon this
reduction it may be that some of those
who have accepted places in the COM
mission from the President will decline
to serve. Such Il Development would
not cmDarasS the politicians. who are
disgruntled because the President has
not seen fit to burden the canal COM
mission with several political hacks
who sought these places. There are
many men, who. of course. would glad
ly accept S7500 n year. but they are moi
the kind of men the President wishes
to have in the canal commission.
Although the movement to reduce the
proposed high salaries Of canal com
missionerS will masquerade undtr the
cloak of economy, there is spirit of
spite back Of it all. The Senate com

and members of House who had hoped
to obtain their patronage. therefore,
row have il in their power to einbar-
rass the President and his eXpelt ap-
p1in;oes in the reduction of salaries.
Whether the canal commissions will

right there enters another feature of
patronage which the greedy politicians
have not overlooked 1t may he the
