Commissioners Appear Before

LEGISLATION DESIRED
NECESSITY SHOWN FOR THE
AMENDMENT OF LAWS.
Mr.. Mcfarland Discusses Insanitary
Buildings and Mr. West Cites Need
ed Changes Regarding Taxes.

The House committee on the District of
Columbia today granted an extended
hearing to the Commissioners with re-
gard to local legislation. There was
full attendance of committee members,
while all three Commissioners. Messrs.
mcfarland. West and Biddle. were pres
eHst. Chairman Babcock presided.
Insanitary Buildings In the District.
Mr.. mcfarland as president of the Dis
trict board, spoke first of the bill which
is pending before the House as part of
the scheme of general legislation desired
for the elimination of insanitary condi-
tons in the District of Columbia. The bill
in question is known as H. r. 9293, cre-
atfng board for the condemnation of in
sanitary buildings. The House last Mon
Day passed a bill for the abatement OF
nuisances. The bill for the condemnation
of buildings, Mr.. Mcfarland said, was tho
next step In line with this desirable legis-
latiOn. He said the measure was pri-
n1artly intended to reach the alley slums,
allowing the authorities to require inn
provement in unhealthy dwellings or
their removal. The bill has been carefully
framed. Legislation on the subject has
been pressed for several years by the
Commissioners. The present measure has
been modified and amplifed in it's several
sections SO as to reflect the gathered wis.,
dom OF the years the matter has been
uHueI ooIisiueTdtioH. corporation COunSel
Duvall drafted the measure. while the
health and other departments supplied
their ideas. 80
We have also drawn upon the best ex-
perience of other municipalities on the SUBJ
ject.' said Mr.. Mcfarland. The question
of the power of Congress to legislate for
these purposes has been ably discussed in a
brief prepared by Mr.. R. Ross Perry of the
District bar, which is now before the COM
nfttee. This brief was prepared as labor
of love by Mr.. Perry and his son. both Of
whom are deeply interested in the improve
ment of insanitary conditions In the city.
1t deals very fully with the question Of the
police power of Congress in the District of
Columbia, and sustains the position that
Congress is competent to pass the law de-
ired"

A NEW COMPRESS
A New Compress That II Is Ctnimea,

ufactured cotton to the consumer at
materially reduced prices and still
leave a larger margin of profit for all
concerned than is at present enjoyed,
is on exhibit in the south end of the
palace of agriculture, Worlds fair.
The COMPRISING of cotton has al
ways been most expensive and re-
qulres much energy and time. The
machinery is bulky and costly and the
handling Of the cotton crop after 1t
has left the gin reduces materially the
income Of the cotton planter. The
compress for which SO much is claimed
congresses the cotton Immediately as
1t leaves the gin. This obviates the
pressing of the cotton and the addi-
tional expense Of transfer from the
gin to the congresses. The density
secured by the new invention is SO
pounds to the cubic foot. The bulk
and weight of the compress Is COM
paratively small, the bale Is square
and 1t is claimed the cost of it Is in
considerable, placing it within. the
reach of every ginner, By means OF

Hay ration For a Horse.


Prof. Kennedy replies to corre-
spondent who had asked how long a
ton of good clover or timothy hay
would feed a horse under ordinary cir
cumstances. 81
"Our correspondent can very easily
figure out just how long ton of hay
will feed a horse, providing he has
the weight of the animal. Horses Of
different sizes require different
amounts of hay. AS a general rule
most men feed too much hay to their
horses. A horse weighing 200 pounds
should not have over IL to 10 pounds
per day, thus one ton would feed such
an animal about 100 to 165 days. A
horse weighing 1900 to 1000 pounds
should not have over is to 16 pounds
per day, thus 1T is very easy to figure
out the length of time a ton would
feed an animal of this size.
mixed hay, such as timothy and
clover, provided it was cut at the
proper season and thoroughly cured,
should give very good results, TIM
othy is preferred to clover for feed
ing driving horses, due 3 to the fact
that it is considered to be more sub
stantial. On the other hand, clover
hay is preferable for fattening horses. =

"A Tennessee correspondent who has
had considerable experience with COW
pea hay gives the following advice to
those interested in this crop:
First break the ground we'll and har-
row thoroughly; then drill peas with
double-row Corn drill, going over the
ground twice, thus making the rows.'20
to "a inches apart. When this is done
go over ground with a good heavy
drag. This will crush all surace clods
and smooth and compact the surface so
that when harvesting comes the
ground is in much better condition
than 1t would have been without drag
ging. You will also find that there
will be much less dirt and dust in the
hay. n AL ~
In harvesting l run the mower in
the forenoon. let lie until the follow
ing day. When the row is we'll dried
off l run tedder over it, then let it
alone until the following day when
free from dew; then rake and begin
hauling to stack or NOV. This is when
weather is favorable FOR curing. If
cloudy weather prevails Is will take
longer to cure.
AS to the amount of seed sown I
set drill to plant one-Quarter bushel
at each going-over, making in all one
half bushel per acre. find this amount
sufficient for good yield of hay.
When sown too thickly the root system
is not so complete and does not de-
velop the bacteria nearly so well as
when sown thinner. Breeders Ga

don't wait for vermin to appear before
using methods for their determination.
Existing conditions are the cause of
the appearance of vermin.
The wheat crop in southern Ten
nessee is pronounced to be the best
that has been harvested in years.
Some fields were so rich that the har-
vesters could not get TO them in time
to save them.
If the egg shells are thin you may
know that lime is lacking in the food,
or that the chickens can not find grit
for their gizzards. Leghcrns and other
persistent layers generally have very
thin-shelled eggs in spite of all pre-
cautions.
To do their best, young turkeys
require unlimited range and clean
brooding quarters while they brood
upon the ground, but after they take
to roosting upon fences and trees
they will do well upon sufficient range,
and very little other attention Ia
needed.
