A large proportion of the hay ant
fodder produced on farms is stacked
but hay stored in the barn will keel
in much better condition than wher
stored in stacks. 1t is almost impOs
sible to escape loss when it is exposed
in stacks. Damaged hay will be vast
ed by the animals. and there is an adj
ditiOnal loss in quantity by exposure
that may not occur in the NOW. 1t is
better to sell the hay that cannot b,
stored in the NOW than to accept risk
of the weather.
Fodder can be as truly wasted whel
put in the stomach as when trOdder
under foot. Unhoused cattle have 8
continuous battle for comfort, and nj
consumption of food shows no result
for the reason that it is used wholly
in keeping life, Moreover they are
stuunted by their stay at this un
thrifty stage, and will never show as
good results afterward.

Fortunate Farmer.

From the annual report of the Sec
rotary of Agriculture. it appears that
farm crops in the United States have
never before been harvested ut such n
high general level of production and
value as during the present year. Corn
has reached its highest production.

ever before reached. 1t is interesting
to notice that the estimated value of
milk and butter, $6G5.0OOOOO. was
larger than the value Of any crop ex-
cept corn. and that the product of eggs
was valued at only 5000, 900 less than
the large wheat crop.

White AyIeSbury Ducks.

The soft W .ite plumage is one Of the
chief attractions of the Aylesbury
breed. and like most white plumage
has tendency to assume Il yellow hue
il exposed to the sun. The beak will
also lose it's delicate pink hue and be-
come yellow if exposed to too much
sunlight in summer. The bill of the
Pekin should be yellow, but the bill of
the Aylesbury should be delicate
pink or tiesh-color and birds Intended
for exhibition must possess this quail
ity or they will suffer ut the hands of
the judge. Birds raised for exhibition
purposes must be guarded against too
much exposure to the sunlight IN the
summer. or course. these delicate
points are Of no consequence to the
market poulterer other than to show
the true type of the breed.
For farm purposes the Aylesbury Is
to be recommended. second only to the
Pekin: it possesses the many good
qualities Of the pekin. and can be bred
with almost the same success. The ad
vantages claimed for Aylesbury are the
ease with which it is acclimated, thirty

early maturity: its great hardness; Its

Count WITTE HOPES
TO APPEASE PEASANTS

st. Petersburg, Feb. 5.-It is stated
that the ministerial proposition for
the solution of the agrarian question,
successful settlement of which is
regarded as the crux of Count Witte's
difficult task, is now nearing compile
ton. and will be taken up for consid-
Grafton by the council of the empire
on February 10.
The operation will be accomplished
through the Peasants bank, which
will purchase the lands and sell them
to the peasantry on the installment
system. The difficult point is the
large sum necessary to carry out the
project. As this is not obtainable in
the country, it is necessary to add to
the already large sum which must be
borrowed abroad to meet the existing
deficiency in the budget.
The project will be turned over to
the douma, Count Witte having re-
peatedly stat ted that no measure will
be adopted before the convocation of
that body.
Perusal of The project for the abo-
lition of capital punishment shows
that while the ostensible object of the
measure is really a carefully designed
plan to strengthen the hands of the
government in dealing with armed rev.
olution, it contains Joker" remov-
ing certain categories of political
crimes from the jurisdiction of GER
tain district courts and making them
triable only by court martial.

large size; its great prolificacy. and
the real beauty which 1t possesses.
Raisers recommend for raising exhibit
ton birds one drake to two ducks, or
two brakes to five ducks. all being al
lowed to run together. Duck raisers
who raise large numbers for market
breed them as they do Pekins, using
from four to eight females to one
male, according to the season of the
year. Fresh blood is introduced every
year to keep up the size, and breeding
stock is seldom kept longer than the
second or third year.-Exchange

Chamberlain Telearaphs Approval.

Salem, Or, Feb. 5.-Gov. Chamber
lain has received a telergaphic query
from a Cleveland, o., newspaper, stat
ing that the Ohio legislature was about
to pass a resolution requesting two
thirds of the states to join in a call for
a constitutional convention to amend
the constitution so as to require the
election of United States senator by
direct vote of the people, and request
ing the governors opinion. The gov
ernor replied as follows:
81 heartily favor the proposition of
the Ohio legislature looking to the
amending of the constitution so as to
elect United States senators by direct
vote of the people. There is no other
way to get rid of those senators who
represent special interests instead of
the people they pretend to represent. ;"

In recent report. published by the
Iowa State Dairy Commissioner. the
average cost of producing one pound of
butter is given as follows:
In the creamery that makes 10000
pounds of butter per year, it costs four
cents to make one pound of butter,
and in Il creamery producing 10000
pounds it costs :, 10 cents to make
one pound while in creameries making
100000 pounds per year, it costs only
1S5 cents. In some of the very large
central plants. that are producing over
100000 pounds of butter per year. If
costs Ia cents per pound. These fig
ures clearly show that the larger the
creamery the cheaper butter can bc
manufactured. and they also show that
1t takes about 400 cows. tributary to
one factory. before a profitable cream
cry business can be established.

sioner in the asphalt controversy with
Venezuela, has arrived in Washington,
and Saturday called at the state de-

Root in relation to the presentation
of facts in his official report.
The decision of the president again
to demand of the Venezuelan govern
ment a settlement of at least a part of
the asphalt company's claims, it is
said, marks the refusal of the state de-
partment to accept the Venezuelan
contention that the asphalt matter is
res adjudicata, having been finally de-
cided by the Venezuelan courts.

Provide Warmth for Hogs.

Says swine grower in the West !:
You think Of the hog as being covered
with two or three-inch layer of pure
fat You think of that fat as being a
poor conductor of heat and cold, letting
little body heat escape and letting lit
tie of the cold of the weather get at
the real hog.
If you stop, to think. you will
remember that hogs are hot-weather
animals. All summer they spend much
time in the sun. and IN winter they
pile mp so as to keep warm. They come
from the house or pen steaming in the
cold air of winter. They shiver with
the sudden chill.
Somehow that fat does not act as a
non-conductor. The hogs sweat In the
dead OF winter as they pile up in a
cold place. 1t would. therefore, seem
probable that it would require more
feed to keep hogs out in the cold than
it would in warm place.
Experiments have shown that a saw
ing of about % per cent in the feed
bill Is made when hogs are sheltered
so they are comfortable. 1t Is better
for the hogs to be warm enough so
that they do not lie in a pile all the
time. They move about more and take
needed exercise. and are less liable to
catch cold when they do not get up a
sweat and then go out in the cold to
| feed
