59TH CONGRESS.
Speaker Cannon Disc|aims
Any Responsibility
For Chickering's and QuarreIs
Among the Democrats.
Sensational Scene as He Answers the
Charges Of ShackIeford.

Washington, March 27.-The House
today witnessed a most unusual scene.
the Speaker rising on the floor in the
midst OF a spirited discussion on re-
ciprocity and tariff revision, and dis
claiming responsibility for differences
between minority members. 1t was
toward the close of the debate on the
urgent deficiency bill. which appropri-
ated among other things for the forth
coming conference at Rio JaneirO,
when Mr.. Shackleford. No, rose to ex-
plain what he intended saying last
week in relation to the Missouri volun-
tcerS bills when he was taken from the
floor by Mr.. TWaney, Mimi, who OBJ
jectcd to the personal character of the
remarks.
Mr.. Shacklcford read his remarks
which charged the Speaker with hold
ing up the bill referred too. The
Speaker instantly rose on the compile
tion of Mr. Shackleford's statement.
There was a buzz of expectancy over
the House. Republicans gathered about
their chief. Democrats crowded the
aisle and it was highly dramatic
moment when the Speaker, himself
pale, but carrying q look of grim de-
termination. said in 4 voice that reach
ed every corner of the chamber:
IF it affords him (Shackleford any
consolation to make me stalking
horse on account of the quarrel with
the minority leader, well and good"
Applause rang through the hall,
which was hushed by the chairman's
determined effort not to let the House
get away from the point ut issue.
The major portion of the day was
taken up with discussions on recipro-
city and tariff revision incident to the
passage of the urgent deficiency bill.

The Fall plOwIng.

The question of fall plowing is 4 de-
batable one in the minds of most farm
The practice seems to grow more
common upon trial in some nelghbor-
hoods and to fall into almost total dis
favor in other sections. Upon the roll
ing lands which are so common there
is little question that it is justly con-
demned, if, indeed, it is good practice
q y an exchange. Some loss
of plant food from washing and blow
ing Of the surface soil upon fall-plowcd
ground is inevitable, although it's me
chanical condition may be improved
somewhat by the action of the frost
upon the freshly plowed ground. or
course, the condition Of the labor mar
ket affects the amount Of fall blowing
undertaken or accomplished to a very
considerable degree, but independently
of any and all Of the factors mention

some cases. The writer has done very

What are the COWS worth that pro
luce 400 pounds of butter per uunum?
Here | am going to make n statement
and undertake to prove it correct, says
a writer in Successful Farming. When
II COW that produces 200 pounds of but
ter per annum at a food cost of $50
and a labor cost of $3.50 Is worth SD,
the COW that produces 400 pounds OF
butter annually is worth $iOO, and the
owner can make net SIG more from her
after paying interest on the 500 than
he can from the cows that produce 700
pounds of butter. There is no more
labor connected with the 4~OO-pound
COWS thar there is with the 20O-pouad
COWS. The price ut which butter has
been credited, namely, 20 cents Il pound,
is the net price from the creamery after
the making has been paid for. In this
herd the increased cost of feed for the
40O-pOund COWS was more b Offset
by the increased amount of skim rHt!E,
SO we have the 200 pounds increase of
butter as net profit over the 2OO-pound
cow Two hundred pounds of butter at
20 cents is $40. We have $500 invested
in these cows, which at 6 per cent in
terest is $24, which we will deduct
from the $40, and we have left SIG to
the credit of the 4O0-pound cow.

Gov. Proctor of Vermont has signed
the bill providing for the consolidation
of the school systems of neighborins
towns under one superintendent.
Registration statistics of leading east
ern universities are as Follows: Harvard,
5,272; Columbia, 4.965; Pennsylvania,
$500; Cornell, 3,461; Yale, 3,210;
Princeton, 1884.
The anual report of the London coun-
ty council shows that the city schools
have been maintained at an outlay of
$25, DOC, 900, md that there are 10000
teachers for an average school attend
ace of G69,167. The salaries for head
teachers range from 500 to $4,000, and
for assistants from 1925 to 1915. Each
teacher has charge Of forty-three children
on an average.
By a decision of the Supreme Court of
the State of Washington legal authority
upholds the efforts of school officials to
check the abuse of secret fraternities and
societies in public high schools. A local
board had forbidden pupils to join a Sc
cret fraternity, and as a penalty for dis
obedience denied to offenders certain priv
ileges in the social life of the school, but
did not limit in any way the essential
educational rights. Action was brought
in behalf of the fraternity to restrain
the school board from depriving the pupils
of these privileges. The trial court denied
the application for an injunction. and
the Supreme Court sustained the denial.
The court says that the evidence "over-
whelmingly establishes the fact that such
fraternities do have a marked influence
on the school, tending to destroy good or
der, discipline and scholarship. This be-
ing true, the board is authorized, and it
is its duty, to take such reasonable and
appropriate action by the adoption of
rules as will result in preventing these
influences"
The St. Paul board>>of education has
approved the suggestion of Supt. Heeter
in favor of corporal punishment, to be
administered only by the principal of the
school after permission in writing has
been obtained from parents or guardian.
The first ten years since Princeton
college became Princeton university have
inst ended and the report shows that the
endowment has increased from S1,611,SI1
TO So 8 900. The campus area has in
crea sed from 225 to 53S acres, n the
student body has grown from 1913 to
1884, while the faculty has increased
from SO to 1876.

For years farmers nave been grow
ing sheep in a small way, and general
ly nave sold their lambs when they
weigh 60 to 20 pounds for from 81 to
$3.50 each. Even at these prices one
makes a nice profit out Of his sheep.
1t has cost little to grow them and so
he is well paid, but it is possible to do
better. For several years Western
lambs weighing from so to 60 pounds
have sold at from So to $3.50, and after
being fed sixty or ninety days,
or up to so to 90 pounds, they
sell for almost twice as much. AS u
rule the farmers who sell the young
lambs nave feed enough to finish them
and get the additional price. Although
this extra feed had to be bought at
market prices there would be no loss,
for feeders are buying both sheep and
feed and making a profit. More profit
is made from farm products when ami
mails are properly finished, and lambs
are in this class.

TAFT CALLS THEM MURDERERS.

Secretary on Negro Soldiers Who
Killed at Brownsville, Tex.
President Roosevelt's action in dismiss
ing from the army three companies of
negro troops in the Twenty-ffth infantry,
as a penalty for the outrage at Browns
vile, Texas, is warmly defended by Sec
rotary of War Taft in his annual report.
The report, after pointing out that the
Presidents order has been severely criti-
cised because it condemns the innocent to
undeserved punishment, thus reviews the
incident:
"Out of a battalion of ITO enlisted men
in the army of the United States, from
nine to twenty men formed a ~preconcert-
ed plan to revenge themselves upon the
people of a town in which they were sta
toned for the insults they felt that the
townspeople had heaped upon them. In
accordance with the plan, they left the
barracks under cover of darkness-about
midnight-and proceeded to discharge
their weapons into the houses of the
town for the purpose of killing those
| a~gainst whom they felt a grievance.
"They came near killing some one or
more of the three women and seven chill
dren who We're sitting or sleeping in w
of the lighted rooms into which they fired.
They, in fact, did kill one man, woun
another and seriously injure the chief of
police. They accompanied their firing
with expressions indicating the malice
| which prompted their action. There can
be no doubt, therefore, that the squad of
men who moved together from the fort to
the town and did this shooting were
guilty of murder, and murder in the first
degree"
