Water and Solids In Milk.

When the cream or fat is removed

A H0tbed for an Amateur.

A more ambitious method than that
kept in the house, may be tried by the
amateur gardener who is also an anna
teur carpenter. a hotbed may he built
ut small expense. Old window sash, or
a single sash purchased cheaply, and
four boards. one inch thick and one

together to form the hotbed, the boards
being used for the walls.
Warm stable manure should be put
in the bottom, from onehalf to three
fourths of foot deep. and firmly
pressed down. The bed should be well
drained. Light soil. to depth of one
or two inches should be spread over the
manure and after one or two days.

to 20 or so degrees, the bed is ready
for use.

IMPERIAL COUNCIL
APPEARS TO Be Liberal

st. Petersburg, May 10. - Former
Premier Witte again took promin-
ent part yesterday in the conference
of member of the council Of the en-
pire, successfully insisting that the
adoption of reply to the speech from
the throne should be postponed until
regular meeting of the council at
which representatives of the press
shall be present in order that the
country may be informed as to argu-
ments advanced on either side.
Nevertheless, the projected reply
to the speech from the throne, which
probably will be adopted, has already
been drafted and has been seen by the
Associated Press. Though delicately
expressed, the reply virtually contains
demand for the amnesty of political
prisoners who are not guilty of murder
or robbery.
In other respects The reply seems es-
pecially designed to disarm the suspic-
ion that it is to he the role of the up
per chamber to block legislation pro
posed by the lower house. After ex-
pressing the deepest loyalty to the
emperor, the reply of the council of
the empire contains these three prin-
cipal points.
Tristan unequivocal endorsement
of u liberal regime.
Second-Declaratio of the inten-
ton to work in harmony with the
lower house for large reforms.
Third-Amnesty. the suggestion be-
ing 80 worded as not to wound the
sensibility of the emperor, calling at
tention to the fact that all remarkable
occasions in the history of Russia
have been marked by an act of grace,
and urging the strong claim to Glenn
ency of those who, while striving for
liberty. transgressed lawful limits
without being guilty of crime.

mand.

st. Petersburg, May Is. - After
struggling the whole day until late
last evening over draft of the reply
to the speech from the throne, the
members of the commission of the
house postponed the final work of
phrasing the ducoment until O clock
this morning.
The prospects are that full accord
on several points may not be reached
before the opening of the house at 2
O'Clock and that, therefore, the reply
may be thrown into the house for final
discussion.
The struggle has conferred mainly
on the Agrarian plank. to which the
peasant mem ers found that the rec
concentrations of the Constitutional
Democratic convention, though call
ing for large measure of forced ex-
preparation, were not spec Ding enough.
The peasants wished the abandon
ment of most Of the limitations and
qualifications of the right of expropri-
alton.
Taking as its text Emperor Nicholas
pledge in his speech from the throne
to maintain inviolate the institutions
which he had granted, the address ex-
presses the hope that this signifies that
the country is on the road to strictly
constitutional system.
To Get Rid of Council.
This being true, the parliament
wishes to call attention to the fact
that the council of the empire is a
wall of separation between the en-
peror and the people; then, advocat.
ing q responsible ministry selected
from the dominant party in parlia.
ment, the address points out as a great
advantage of that system, the cessa-
ton of attacks on the monarch.
The iron hand behind the respectful
writing of the address appears in the
paragraph regarding amnesty, which
contains these significant words:
"There are some demands which
cannot be refused, and this is onc.'
The workers are remembered by a
reference in the address to the need
of amelioration in the condition OF
labor, while for the Poles and other
nationalities the address, though
avoiding the word autonomy and in
sisting OH the maintenance of the
bonds Of empire in full strength,
speaks for the right of each national
ity to its own language, customs and
DISQUALIFICATION.
It is reported that the cabinet has
practically decided upon an amnesty
measure which, though falling short
of the universally demanded by the
lower house, conforms to the idea OF
the council of the empire of granting
pardon to all political offenders except
such as have been convicted of Agrar-
ian murders or attempts to murder.

Value of the IncubatOr,

1t is hard to get hens to sit In win
ter. and it Is almost necessary for the
farmer to use incubators TO raise broil-
ers in times to bring the best prices.
The incubator on the farm is being
brought to more profitable use every
year. There IS no doubt that the lncu.
bator and brooder method of raising
chickens Is wonderful improvement
on the hen method. It is cheaper, and
greater number Of fowls can be
raised from the same number of hens.

Gov. McInnes has just secured at

The Corporation Commission.

The Joint committee to investigate the
dismissal of Lanier, Tyler and Newly
from the service ofthe Corporation Com
mission met in Richmond yesterday
afternoon. Messrs. Hill Garter and
Eppa Hunter appeared as counsel for the
Corporation Commission. Mr. Lanier
read letter from William L. Royal, in
which the latter said he vas i'll and
could not appear. Mr.. Upshur said be
had been summoned only as witness
and did nOt deem it necessary to have
counsel.
Mr.. Upshur consumed considerable
time telling the committee something OF
the nature of his duties, the opening of
the correspondence, the apportiouing of
the work to The several clerks and the
character aud methods Of the work OF
each. He then began at the request of
Chairman Byrd, the reading of his re-
port on the Lanier charges and the cor
respondence in connection Herewith.
There were AZ pages of typewriter mat
ter, and the reading consumed the
balace of the session.
Upshur's report assumes that Lanier's
statement that Judge Crump was asso-
ciated with him in establishing the Vir-
ginia Corporation Company was untrue,
and refers to such condition as being
too monstrous to give to it a rss'in
thought. Mr.. Upshur gives instances
in which Lanier used the bauks OF the
Corporation Commission and correspond
ed on the business of bis company dur
ing the regular hours OF work for the
Corporation Commission Mr.. Upshur
dwells en- the fact that Mr.. Lanier's
company sought to take from the reye-
nues of the State to add to the profits of
his company.
Major Lanier had not concluded his
testimony when the committee adjourned
at midnight, and will continue when the
investigation committee sits this az
ternoon at 3 o'clock.
