The sentiment in the House in re

unanimous in favor OF It's passage and
even the drastic amendment OF Sena-
tor Elkins adopted in the Senate that
coal carrying roads shall not be per-
raitted to own and operate coal mines
viii not be opposed in the House. 1t
is probable that no objections viii
be made to the. judicial review amend
ment accepted by the President and
the Senators, and there is every reason
to predict that the bill will pass the
House with rush and be signed by
the President within the month. The
discussion and the paramount import
ance Of the regulation of rates has for.
a time eclipSed all other issues, but
there are several weighty matters
which Congress this session should
consider: Once the rate bin is out Of
Statehood bill again. It is rUmored
that strenuous efforts viii be made to
have the bill carried over to the short
session, but If this is prevented it is
probable that some sort OF compro-
mise Will be. agreed upon
But there are other questions be-
fore Congress which, If brought to a
vote this session.woi ID find that body
in session well into next winter There
is the Philippine tariff for instance
which at the beginning ofSthe session
was called vital ISSUE" and which
is by now practically ignored There
is the denatured alcohol bill which

and which the Standard on Trust and
the wood alcohol industry are mailing,
such a vigorous effort to have defeat.

DehOrning Calves.

Instructions for dehorning calves
seem to be perennially IN demand.
Here is the process in brief as given
by Iowa Homestead:
The most satisfactory method of de-
horning calves involves the use Of
caustic potash. When the calf Is few
days old the hair should be clipped
closely over the part where the horn
comes through. Then take a stick Of
caustic potash and rub 1t over the bare
place until the skin Is Redeemed. 1t Is
sometimes good plan to put a little
grease around the horn SO as to not al
low the potash to spread. The stick of
caustic should be wetted, but care
should be taken not to let any run
down on the sides of the face, as it
will unnecessarily irritate the skin.
Some care on the part of the operator
must be used in handling caustic pot
ash, and the ordinary plan Is to wrap
the stick of caustic in some material
so that the fingers will not come in d.
rect contact with 1t.

No "COrners" In Poultry.

ing treated to the pleasant excitement
Of reading accounts Of poultry farm
that is to grow chickens worth a dollar
a pound and eggs at a dollar dozen
the year round. The pedigreed poultry
are to produce the eggs and the fowls
sold in the market. 1t Is stated that
millions will be made in this way. Ev-
cry farmer throughout the country can
have pedigreed fowls and grow them
as fine as the proposed consolidation.
Poultry growing is a game that no one
can corral. Those who have access to
twenty square feet Of ground can grow
pedigreed poultry as we'll as can those
on the farm or range.

EGG EATERS.
". r.. Brown Tells How to Get tho
Better of These Pests.

better 1hehc IeStHs
If you have been In the poultry
business for any length Of time you
have no doubt had at some time ex-
perience with egg eaters, one Of the
worst vices poultry breeders have to
contend with, says w. Il. Brown Of
Mansfield, o. If you have, the Ques-
common stock this Is easily answered
send them to market and buy others
In place Of them, this being the only
sure and lasting cure. But with the
fancer or breeder Of thoroughbred
stock 1t IS different proposition, as
II Is often the valuable show bird that
Is the guilty party, having learned the
vice in the show coop, and when one
bird gets the habit the pen mates soon
learn it too.
The question with the breeder Is how
TO get the eggs from these hens to use
for Matching. as we long ago gave up
the idea of curing them after trying
all kinds of sure cures. like clipping
end off bill, feeding eggs filled with
various nostrums. laying numerous
plaster of paris eggs around the runs
and in the nests. but have not found
ANYTHING that beats the confirmed egg
eaters permanently, as they would soon
come back to 1t, even after year.
Our way has been to make nests
that will keep them from getting the
eggs. The best Is to take two cheese
boxes or boxes Of any kind of right
size for the nest box, cut hole In
center Of the bottom Of one about two
inches in diameter. make nest with
straw, or. better, excelsior, Of the right
shape, pretty deep. cover with burlap
cut to fit. tack the edges, lacking I'M
der the hole so the eggs will not break
by striking them in rolling through the
hole. Bore numerous small holes In the
box and sew through the burlap nest
and all to keep them in shape. Then
take a plaster nest egg, put a hole
through and sew it fast near the bot
tom, but not so as to keep the eggs
from rolling through the hole in the
box below. To make the lower box
use the same material make high
est In the middle under the hole so the
egg will roll away out Of reach of the
hens, and they will soon get so they
will not stand around watching the
hens on the nest. Have one or two Of
these in each breeding pen and take
all others out so they will be compelled
to use them.

THE BUTTERMAKER

Buttermakers are frequently trou
bled by the presence Of white streaks
and spots In butter. which do not
make their appearance until the day
following the packing OF the butter
The Geneva (N. " experiment station
concludes that the presence Of butter
milk In butter is essential to the pro
duction of notifies. The casein lactate
contained in buttermlk IS acted upon
by salt, whether the salt Is evenly dis
tributed or not, and white masses re-
suit when buttermilk is present to too
great an extent In the butter granules.
Notifies can be prevented by removing
buttermllk as fully as possible from
butter granules before sailing.
That Nice Rich Buttermilk.
Now we ure coming to point that
displays more lack of knowledge than
carelessness. We often hear people
talk about their nice rich buttermlk
But the facts are that what makes this
buttermllk rich is the butter that Is In
II, and this butter Is worth good deal
more In the butter bowl than 1t Is In
the buttermilk, says Mrs. G. ii. Rob
bins Of Minnesota In an exchange.
Seed Bed For Trouble.
If milk has been handled in clearly
way during milking 1t can be poured
directly into the supply can of the sep
arator without stralning. If 1t Is nee
essary to strain the milk very fine
wire strainer should be used. 1t Is diff
flcult to keep Il strainer cloth In good
condition, and If not kept In good con-
dition 1t Is Il seed bed for trouble.
Dairy Notes.
When cream from several separations
Is collected the churning should not be
made for a number of hours after the
addition of the last batch Of cream.
Usual causes Of defective butter from
gathered cream are, first, unsuitable
places for keeping the butter and, sec
ond, holding the cream too long.
During the process Of ripenlng cream
should be stirred occasionally to OBJ
tain best results.
The firmness of butter must be taken
into account in determining how long
to work 1t. Usually the firmer the but
ter the more working 1t will stand.
An occasional rinslng out with lime
water will help to keep the churn
sweet.

sCThe Mnlc Il Half the Flock. ~

The claim made that the male Is half
the flock has had consideration for a
quarter Of century. There Is no posi-
BILE chance for disputing this, says the
Feather. Disaster is bound to come
from an Ill favored, badly selected or
Ill bred male at the head Of pen.
On the other hand, the best male bird
of any variety ever purchased cannot
bring success to the yards Of an owner
who does not have fine lot Of hens
for the mating. The best male In the
world cannot bring success with a poor
mating Of hens. The surest road to
success in poultry breeding lies
through getting the best possible fe-
males mated with good male birds.

For the Small Pigs.

It Is advisable to keep salt and ashes
where pigs can have ready access to
them. After pigs begin to eat grain
they will visit the ashes and salt after
every feed or oftener. 1t Is profitable
to keep the mixture in self feeder

can be kept dry and from which the
pigs can get it from an opening at the
