CHAMBERLAIN REPORTS
SAYS RECEIPTS FAR EXCEEDED
HIS ESTIMATES.

LONDON, April 10. - Budget day at
tracted large crowd of members of par
Lament and visitors to the house of COM
mons today, and when the chancellor of
the exchequer, Austen Chamberlain, rose
to make his annual statement the house
was well filled in all parts.
AT the outset Mr. Chamberlain put his
hearers in a good humor by announcing
that the revenue of the year just closed
exceeded his estimate by nearly SIS 900, :
600. showing that the trade of the coun-
try had turned the corner, and whereas
a year ago there was a heavy deficit,
there had now been established some
thing more than equilibrium between the
revenue and expenditure.
Mr.. Chamberlain estimated the eXpendi-
ture for 1866 at ST05, 900, and the
revenue on the existing basis of taxation
at $I2O,O2O,000, leaving surplus of $14,-
100000.
Tea Tax Reduced
The tea tax is reduced by four cents
from July l. the date on which the exist
ing duty expires. There is no reduction
in the income tax.
Although 1904 began badly, said the
chancellor of the exchequer. bountiful
crop of cotton had revived the Lancashire
Industries. shipbulding showed signs of
recovery and the iron and steel industries
had slightly improved. Nevertheless,
while the country was on the path of mod
crate but steady recovery, 1t could not
be said that 1904-0J had been wholly
satisfactory from the view point of COM
merce and finance There had been much
pauperism and distress.
In Analysing the items of revenue Mr..
Chamberlain said the sugar duty promised
to prove an expanding revenue, and tea
fell short of the estimates. mostly dur
ing the last quarter of the year. SO per-
haps this was attributable to holding
shipments on the chance of a reduction
In the duty. The exports of coal marked
a record, but the decline in the excise du-
ties on spirits which commenced In 1900
continued. The consumption of beer and
spirits was less in 1904 than in any of the
preceding fifteen years. In fact, said Mr..
Chamberlain. the habits of the people are
changing, and this must be taken into
consideration.

In case the fowls must be confined
in limited space, one should not con-
slider the Leghorns, and particularly
the White Leghorns, for they are ner-
vous and require range of consider
able area to do their best. On the
farm, where they may have this range
in colonies. they will probably produce
more eggs than any other breed. but II
poultry is raised on the farm for the
purpose Of selling both eggs and car
cass. then the Leghorns should be
crossed with some heavy breed or two
breeds kept. one for the eggs and one
for the carcass.
Another thing about the Leghorns is
that they are timid and must be treat
ed with consideration, so that It is Il
good plan to give the flock over to the
care of one person and keep other peo-
pie away from them; they must also
be fed regularly for best results. Like
all living things that are nervous they
are impatient of anything that does not
suit them. and an hours difference in
the time of feeding may make some
difference in the egg return. indian

A German,s Pnnltrv Enrn

y writer recently saw u successful
poultry farm on which there was not
a single regulation poultry-hous The
buildings for the poultry We're con-
structed entirely from dry goods boxes
bought at nelghboring town for
small sums. The larger boxes We're
joined together in sufficient numbers
TO make the main houses. and the
smaller boxes We're taken apart to OBJ
tain the short pieces needed. or else
made up into coops for the chicks or
in smaller houses for the range. on
the colony plan. Each of the larger
houses designed for the winter occu-
pancy was lined inside with newspa-
pers and outside with one of the wa
terproof papers on the market This
is farm where never less than 400
fowls are kept and where the poultry
is raised both for the carcass market
and for eggs. This shows not only
what may be done without elaborate
buildings, but the advantages the av-
erage farmer has over other people in
his ability to grow the feed needed
and with more or less in the way of
buildings which may be utilized at no
expense.

Lettuce.

Lettuce is q salad plant, salable
greens, extensively forced in green
houses during the winter, and in hot
beds and cold frames in early spring.
1t can be sown from spring till fall.
and is remarkable for being able to
stand quite severe frosts.
Lettuce thrlves best in clay loan soil
well treated with well-rotted barnyard
manure.
In early spring the seed is sown in
rows foot apart and thinned to stand
about six inches apart in the row.
For the very early and very late crops.
the loose-growing varieties are best
for the reason that they mature the
quickest. For early summer and fall
crops, the larger head lettuces are the
finest.
In order to have crisp, tender lettuce,
the crops must be sown rapidly. To
secure n quick growth. the soil must
be very rich. Nitrate OF soda scat
tered broadcast along the rows and
we'll rakcd in, will generally give a
quick growth. 1t can be used at the
rate of POO to 200 pounds 10 the acre.

general discussion of the vegetable
raising was feature of recent meet
ing ut Horticultural Hall. Boston. w.
w. Rawson was the principal speaker,
and he estimated that nearly two hun
dred acres in Massachusetts are under
glass. The product is sold in Boston
New York. Philadelphia. Buffalo and
Chicago. The vegetable-grower to-day
should have several houses in order
that each may be at the proper tenn
perature.
In no other part of the United States
has the growing of vegetables under
glass reached the point OF perfection
that 1t has here. There are more than
12C0 market gardeners who bring prod
uce to Boston, and the number is in
creGsing. To-day it is n problem what
to grow. and the man must study the
market, know how to produce good
crop by close attention to details. and
contine himself to few kinds he is
most familiar with and which are best
adapted to his soil and market Mr..
Rawson advocated growing vegetables
by electric light. and the use of steril-
lied soil. He thought the cucumber
crop could be increased fifteen per
cent. by the use of the electric light.
Varnum Frost. another well-known
market gardener, said it was an in
suit to common sense to speak of grow
ing vegetables by electricity. He never
had used ii and never would, and it
was a good deal like another fad
which Mr. RawsOn had started of
painting glass white. j. c. Stone said
lie liked TO hear these comments, be-
cause when two market gardeners
lived in the same town and disagreed
so well, it was Il sure sign that both
were good growers. - Massachusetts

A Wisconsin man. long Interested in
sheep, says that the number of sheep
in this country this year is 100000
short of last season. This means n
great deal, and 1t signifies that it will
be safe to engage in the sheep indus
try at the present time. as 1t is bound
to take from five to seven years to
breed up and regain this loss. The
present high price of sheep will in
duce every sheep owner to sell off Just
as closely as possible. and that is
bound to keep the number down.
MANY years ago there was used
moro wool TO the person in the United
States than there is to-day. since cot
ton has come into such general use,
but quarter of century ago there
was very little demand for mutton.
To-day the demand is great. and it is
OH the increase right along. This, with
the shortage in the number of sheep
and the high price of wool. is bound
to make sheep raising and feeding
profitable for several years to come.
