WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Rsgu Correspondent.


Work IL hcing crowded a.
long in Congress thatit seems
as if adjournment N / z b t
possibly come a week or so
before the last OF May. The
appropriation bills hat ha w
not already passed are pass
ing, without such opposition
as will cause much delay
Several bills in the int, res,
OF the labor unions are on
the calander and some are re-
ported from committees. But
there islittle pr0ha ility that
any will pass this year. The
service pension bill will now
be withdrawn. fOr this ses
sion at least, in view or the
action OF the Commissioners
Of Pensions 40 inter preting
the law as to grant old age
pensions to veterans Of 81
without regard to disability.
The post Office appropria
tim bill has been before the
House this week, and has a.
gain been the storm center.
The minority leader, John
Sharp Williu ms. Miss, ,dpclar r
ed that the post Office depart
ment was rOtten from turret
to foundation stone and the
republicans were trying to re
organize it as an appropria-
tion bill. BE said that only
one division of the depart.
ment had been investigated.
and that only partially. while
other divisions were equally
corrupt. Mr.. Payne, the re-
publican leader, and Gener-
al Grovenor threw such ex-
plantations as they conld in.
to the discussion, and Mr.,
Overstreet, Rep. Ind, the
unhappy father Of the report
declared that nothing in par
ticular was the matter and
nobody injured. Mr.. Williams
came hack with the charge
that public moneys had heen
repeatedly diverted to illegal
uses in contempt OF law. that
buildings had been rented. fu
81 bought, and clerks appoin
ted and prompted in defiance
of Civil Service regulations.
"These officials" he declared
vehemently, violate t h g

dairy stock, if the bull is what he
should be and the increase has been
culled Another step higher is better
still, better for the dairy, and so the
grading goes up and Improvement
goes on until the blood of the herd
is practically pure. The best dairy re-
suits may thus be reached, but the
herd has a faint. 1t lacks pedigree
It's increase, however excellent in
dairy performance, must pass and sell
as grades. The owner feels this, and
is pretty sure to gradually replace his
well bred COWS, almost pure bred, with
fully pedigreed and registered animals
This end is reached sooner, and easier
by starting with one or two registered
females, and, of course, a registered
bull Moderate investment and the
lessened risk of loss in the hands OF
one unaccustomed to handling regis
tered stock, and finding market for
the surplus, doubtless favor grades
for the dairy herd. The argument and
the probabilities of success, based up
on the fixed principles of breeding,
are on the side of pure bred registered
stock In the hands of experienced
men the latter prove the more profita-

will but make the effort. The begin
ner in registered dairy stock can not
be too strongly urged to buy and
breed on the basis of individual and
family merit and dairy record, and
not upon pedigree alone. Pedigree is
of value and should be well studied; it
is the best guaranty that the calves to
come will make good cows. But the
pedigree should be supported by uni
form excellence in the family and by
evidence of merit in the particular
animals bought Although the invest
ment is greater, there is greater GER
tainty of good results if mature COWS
are bought which show what can be
expected of them, if they have not al
ready made a record, than if calves or
undeveloped heifers are selected. 1t

right breed, to purchase good repre-
sentatives of that breed, rather than
be content with only average or even

comes from the best cows, whatever

THE DAIRY
The Outlook for Storage Butter.

1t is the opinion of the editor OF the
New York Produce Review that, as
we approach the season when, in the
natural course of events, the produc
ton of butter will far exceed the con-
sumptive demands and when the sur
plus will accumulate in cold storage,
it is we'll to consider some important
features of the general butter Situa-
tion that they may have proper bear
ing upon the basis of storage opera
tions.
The carrying of surplus summer
butter product in cold storage should
not be regarded as mere Specula-
ton; it is a necessary function OF the
trade by which the natural extreme
fluctuations of value are lessened and
by which the total production of but
ter may be largely increased; and
the healthfulness of the butter indus
try as whole depends upon the con-
duct of this important phase of sum-
mer accumulation upon a basis that
shall prove reasonably profitable.
Of course the basis of value at
which surplus butter is stored is al
ways more or less speculative and can
not be fixed with positive assurance of
pTOuJdDl0 I0SulIS, IL 10 always uC vi
mined by a focus of general opinion,
based upon various views OF the flu
ture probabilities, and these are
sometimes badly misjudged. In the
midst of such uncertainties every fact
that bears upon the situation should
receive the most careful consideration
and should have it's due influence in
moulding the general opinion which
determines the storage basis.
In recalling the disastrous losses in.
Cured by most of those who stored
the surplus butter last summer 1t is
necessary to discover if possible the
points of erroneous judgment which
led to them. Doubtless the extreme
prices paid for butter to store last
June were based partly upon the eX-
pected effect of the OleOmargarine tax
law which had already so greatly cur
tailed the manufacture of that com
modify and which was expected to
be still more effective by reason OF
the then recent decisions in regard to
the application of the law to oleomar-
garine sUreptitiOusly colored with
vegetable colOring agents; they were
also based partly upon light early
summer production and to the lnf1u-
ence of a favorable clearance OF the
previous seasons holdings But
weather conditions during June and
throughout the summer and fall be-
came remarkably favorable, leading
to ample fresh supplies at the season
when accumulatiOns are usually
needed in consumptive channels, and
deferring to an unusually late date the
possibility of profitable unloading.
But the favorable weather cOndi-
