the bill he himself has come to the con-

be amended so that it will not affect the

Attorney General Gilbert has sent the
Legislature an official opinion. in which
he holds that the balloting for Senator
Spooner'S successor cannot lawfully be-
gin the second Tuesday after the resig-
nation takes effect. If the Legislature
follows this opinion, the baloting can
not begin before May II. Nearly all of
the members of the Legislature desire to
have the Senatorship matter settled as
soon as possible, and if they can find any
way of doing it before the date fixed
by the Attorney General they doubtless
will adopt it. 1t has been suggested that
the contest might be settled by holding an
early caucus the candidates agreeing to
abide by the result, but the members are
not ready to commit themselves on the
suggestion.

Skim Milk For Hens.

The Department of Agriculture has
received a report from the West Vir-

made to determine the value of skim
milk as against water for wetting a
feed mash
In the first test. which covered I'D
days, twenty-five hens fed skim milk
laid l, pa eggs, as compared with 996
eggs laid by the twenty-five hens fed
mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test,
sixty hens fed the skim milk ration
laid S62 eggs in thirty days, as
compared with $50 eggs laid by sim
liar lot fed no skim milk. In the sec
ond period the rations were reversed
The chickens fed skim milk laid 1920
eggs in fifty-six days, as compared with
97S in the case of the lot fed no skim
milk. In both experiments more eggs
were produced when skim milk was
substituted for water for moistening
the mash. Under the conditions pre-
vailing in these experiments and with
eggs selling for 20 or % cents per dozen
the skim milk used for moistening the
mash had feeding value of from ~
to 2 cents per quart. In these trials
SO2 quarts of skim milk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase in the egg pro-
duction of 702 eggs.
