KEROSENE IN TIE POULTRY

to do 1t IS to clear everything out Of the
poultry houses and go over them with a
whitewash brush dipped in full strength
kerosene. Get into all the corners, into
the notches In which the roosts set, and
thoroughly saturate the roosts themselves.
Then take the nest boxes and scrub the

in the bottom of each nest box, place a
little cheap tobacco stems and over them
the hay or stray that is used for nesting
material. In addition to this, have the

on the busting the fowls will do on the

congress BEGINS
FIFTY-NINTH SESSION IS EX-
PECTED To BE SHORT.
Bill Will Reach at Least
a Billion DolIers-Ship Subsidy Bill
to Come Up-Tariff to Be Consider.
ex-senator Reed Smoot Case Is to
Come Up for Settlement.

The passage of the appropriation
bills and as little other general legis-
lation as possible. Such in brief is
the forecast for the short session of
the Fifty-ninth congress, which begun
at noon Tuesday.
Circumstances will have the effect
of condensing the consideration Of
the IA large supply measures into
two months. Considering that the az.
gregate of the appropriations to be
considered will approximate one bill
ion dollars, some senators and men,
bers express the opinion that congress
cannot do better than give all of its
time to these measures.
The report on the ship subsidy bill
probably will be an exception to the
rule for no general legislation. The
friends of that measure have never
been more insistent than now They
are extremely hopeful and yet very ap-
prehensive. The bill has passed the
senate and is in committee in the
house.
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills, the immigration
bill and the Philippine tariff bill, but
there are snags in the pathway of
both of them. There is still intense
OPPOSITION to the Philippine bill, espe-
cially as it is not believed that it can
possibly receive serious consideration
during the short session.
Not few members of both houses
are anxious to meet the demands of
bankers and others for a more elastic
currency, and it is quite certain that
there will be efforts to supply this
want in the session.
Suggestions looking toward amend
ing the railroad rate law are not ex-
pected to bear fruit this session. All
these measures and many others are
certain to receive attention in the de-
bate.
Among questions slated for a liberal
share of discussion, the tariff stands
at the head of the list, but no one has
the least idea that any serious efforts
will now be made to secure the modi-
fication which even many republicans
think desirable.
Inc oOhoNO WAi4 6ANC hItSAliOH "
the case of Senator Reed Smoot, but
what it will do about it, not even the
senate wishes now to contemplate.
There has from the first been dispo-
sition to put the Smoot matter aside,
but with the report of the committee
on privileges and elections on the cal
endar and Chairman Burrows quite de-
termined to press consideration, the
fact is that the matter must be dealt
with, and is beginning to impress itself
upon members and they are pressing
seriously for its consideration. The
Michigan senator will set the ball roll
ing Monday, the 10th instant, in a
speech in which he will review the
entire case.
Much interest attaches to the presi-
dents forthcoming recommendations
concerning the Panama canal, princi-
pally because of his recent visit to the
canal zone. 1t is not expected that he
will ask much legislation beyond the
necessary appropriations, and there is
general disposition to grant these. The
increase of the navy will receive much
consideration. but there is still oppo-
sition to the proposed ship OF the
Dreadnaught class.

GOLDOUTPUT OF U.S..
GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
In WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado and Nevada Show
Largest Gains-NearIy Four Hun
dred Million in Gold Produced in
the States of the Union-Statistic
From Other Countries.

The bureau of the mint and the geo.
logical survey which are cooperating
in determining the annual production
of gold and silver in the United States,
have agreed upon a tabulated state
ment of the output of states and terri
tories for the calendar year 1905.
The most important changes in gold
production are shown by Alaska,
which advances from $9,160,500 in 1904
to S14,925,60 in 1905. Colorado shows
an increase from $24,3S5, 800 in 1904 to
$25, FOL 100 in 1905, due to freedom
from labor troubles. Nevada shows a
gain from $4,307,S00 in 1904 to $685.
100 in 1905, and a gain in silver from
2,695,100 to 5,863,500 ounces.
The director of the mint says that
Nevada will show for 1906 a much
larger gain in both gold and silver,
and that the state will likely make a
contest for first place as a producer
of the various previous metal. The to-
tai output of silver is about 1,500, 900
ounces under that of the previous
year, the three heaviest producers,
Montana, Colorado and Utah, showing
decline. Washington produced $780,
600 gold and 119, 400 ounces of silver.
Idaho produced $1,075,60 gold and s.
1851 ounces of silver. Oregon's gold
output was $1,244, 900 and Montana pro-
duced $4,SS9,300 gold and 5,S63, 500
ounces silver.
The total number of ounces of gold
produced was 4,265,742, and the com.
mercial value of the silver produced
was $S4,221, 976.
The director of the mint has also
completed a compilation of returns
upon the production of gold and silver
in the world for the calendar year
1905.
The totals are 1915, 2S9,2O0 gold and
157 ,339,362 ounces of silver.
Commenting on these figures, the di
rector says:
The total figures compare with a
gold output of $346,S92, 200 in 1904, and
a silver output of 168,39023S fine
ounces. The important gains in gold
production were $7,716,0OO by the Unit
ed States, $27 ,415,200 by Africa and
81, 655,900 by Mexico. Losses in gold
production were $1,913.0O0 by Canada
81 ,S40,S00 by Australasia, $2,511 400 by
Russia. All of the principal silver-pro
| ducing countries showed a falling of
in the output of that metal compared
with the previous year, the United
States of 100000 ounces, Mexico Of
6d56,000 ounces, Australasia 100000
ounces, South America of 1,742,0 0(
ounces and Japan of nearly 1000 ,00(
ounces. The average value of silver
in New York, based on London prices
converted at the current rates of ex
change, was 81 cents per fine ounce
which may be compared with SO cent:
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and 5:
cents for 1902, the lowest years price
on record.
The United States produced $SS, 1870,
700 gold and 56,1O1, 900 ounces silver.
Mexico produced $15,261 200 golC
and 54,652, 1892 ounces silver.
Canada produced $14,4S6,S00 golt
and $5,974,S75 ounces silver
Africa produced S113,329,10O golC
and 619, 500 ounces silver.
