Those DESTROYS OF going into the poul-
try business often want TO know just
how much It costs to keep a hen year
and what profit may be reasonably ex-
pected from the sale OF eggs. An ex-
pertinent conducted by the West vir-
ginia station gives n definite answer to
the above query. Six hundred hens
were kept through the year. and It was
found that the cost OF feed per head
was 80 cents, while the total for feed
and labor was SLAP. The average
number of eggs was 113. valued at
S2.43. which left net profit OF S1.O1
for each hen, or an income OF $G0G from
the entire flock.

A farmer residing in the community
In which the writer lives has n reputa-
ton for miles around for the uniform
ly good crops which he raises. This is
especially true of his corn crops. We
learned the other day one OF the secrets
OF his success. At n time when other
good farmers I'm the neighborhood had
cultivated their fields of corn three or
four times, he had gone over his seven
times. He deemed this necessary this
year because OF frequent driving, heavy
rains which packed the ground and
caused IL TO bake in the sun. The ex-
ira tending given this Geld OF corn has
already put II ahead from ten days 10
two weeks, which insures sound and
mature crop OF corn even I'm case Of an
early killing frost A general charac-
teristic OF this mans management OF
his farm work Is that he IS, as n rule.
forehanded with hlS work rather than
behind with It aud having Il drive him.
This way Of doing makes work more
profitable in dollars and cents as well
as more satisfactory.

A recent report published by the
Dominion dairy commissioner contains
interesting figures touching the growth
OF the dairy business in Canada. The
country has at present 1915 creamer-
les and cheese factories, there being
1,2S4 in the province of Ontario, 2,S06
In Quebec and 2S6 In the seven other
provinces. The first cheese exported
from Canada was sent to Great Brit
ain in 1864, while the maximum value
of Canadian cheese and butter exports
reached the highest point In 1908,
when their aggregate value was $751;
G67,561. About 10000 people are dl-
rectly engaged in the manufacture Of
cheese and butter. while 100000 pa
irons furnish milk and cream to cheese
factories and creamerles. Figuring
100 acres to each farm. there are APP
proximately 20.000.0OO acres of land
upon which this milk is produced.

member that these characteristics are
usually the result of getting plenty of

agreed that for all around development
there Is no exercise that Is more ben

sweeping, washing and ironing, while
dishwashng will make the finger tips

The Brazilian government, when the
fact Of the false text came to it's
knowledge. sent to Argentina and pub
lished in the Brazilian papers the false
dispatch and the one actually sent, to
prove that the dispatch intercepted
showed friendliness and not hostility
to Argentina. In order to do this, the
Brazilian government found it neces-
sary to publish the key of it's secret
correspondence with it's legation in
Santiago. 1t is said that although this
proof was submitted on the 14th of
November, no acknowledgement of
mistake has been made by Argentina
to Brazil.
Threats made in the Argentine press
over the signature Of Dr. Zeballos, the
former minister of foreign affairs, have
also ranked the Brazilians. These
were to the effect that Argentina would
avail herself of her present naval su-
periority to impose on Brazil the equiv
alence of their two fleets and ask for
a reduction Of the Brazilian ships at
present under construction, the latter
government now having under way the
building of several large vessels in
England. In this matter Brazirs atti-
tude has been one of defiance, she de-
claring she would never submit to have
her armament voted according to an
other governments wishes.

ter Ohio Senatorship.

70 New York, Dec. 16.-It was authori-
tatively announced tonight that the Of
fer of a cabinet position to Congress-
man Theodore Burton of Cleveland,
Ohio, has been Withdrawn by Mr. Taft
and will not be renewed. Mr.. Burton
was mentioned as the probable secre-
tary of the treasury in Mr.. Taft's
cabinet and it is said that the portfolio
was definitely offered to him. The
statement followed Mr.. Taft's talk with
several Republican leaders from Ohio
today. Mr.. Burton, it is believed, will

should take with reference to that por-
tion of the message.
While the resolution was ultimately
adopted without revision, the result was
not reached without the use of some
sharp language.
Bailey objected to the resolution be-
cause it did not direct the committee to
inquire into words Of the Presidents mes
sage.
80 far as I am concerned" he said.
mo action should be taken on that res
olution until that point is covered. Either
Congress is the most infamous body that
ever assembled in any country in the
world, or it. will take some notice of this
most wanton and gross insult ever given
any body in the world"
Hale declared that the resolution was
sufficiently strongly worded to permit the
committee on appropriations to make the
kind of report desired by Bailey He said
that as chairman of the committee on
appropriations he would prefer to nave
had the resolution sent to some other
committee hut he promised that the COM
mittee would not shirk its duty.
Il would like to inquire if the senator
FROM Maine,' interposed Tillmln In ms
piercing voice, WHETHER Hc lilAiho 'iio
Senate has been insulted?
Hale insisted that everyone had his
own opinion on that subject and one was
as able as nc to form an opinion.
Tilman said that occrdins to the Presi-
dents message Congress is composed OF
a lot Of ''rascals and scoundrels who
belong in the penitentiary.
Hale replied that there had been great
deal of "restlessness and indignation. In
the Senate"
''There is no restlessness at the White
House." retorted Tillman. "They are cool
and calm as can be there"
Bailey again took the floor saying that
in view of what Mr.; Hale had said about
the scope of the resolution lie would not
object to it.
Culberson called the message "a dellb-
crate, studied and gratuitous insult to the
Congress by the President
Tilhnan said that the message Shows
that he Uhe PresidentJ has investigated
us generally and that We are a lot OF
scoundrels that need investigation. Now
there may be men here who feel that
way but God knows do not"
Ncwlands, New, said he was not at
tempting to apologize for the President,
but he wanted to have the Senate avoid
any hasty and improper language.
McI.aurin, Miss, favored dignified re-
sentiment of the language of the Presf-
dent, and Bacon, Ga, declared that the
message was the most deliberate and
carefully designed and carefully worded
insult ever sent to any parliamentary
body in this or any other country

There was still pending when the bill
was laid aside, an amendment by
Humphreys of Mississippi providing
for identification of intoxicating liquors
transported by interstate carriers This
amendment evoked an extended de-
bate.
Washington. Dec. 16-Another step
toward amending the rules of the
House was taken tonight when the va
rious elements of the House OPPOSED
to the present code, held a mass meet
ing. The report of the committee, ap-
pointed at the meeting of Insurgents"
last week, was submitted, although the
committee had had a most difficult
time in reaching an agreement.
Col Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of
the committee, informed the
meeting that the committee had
decided that some change I'm the meth
o6 of selecting a committee had also
agreed that the rules should be
changed, so that one day each week
would be set aside for the call of the
committee
Col. Hepburn personally recommends
ed the election of committee of nine
members Of the House to choose the
committees. the committees themselves
to elect their own chairman. This sug-
gestion met with opposition at the
meeting. as in the committee and led
tot a prolonged discussion. No action
was taken, and it was believed more
time should he given to consideration
of the changes. The meeting adjourned
to meet in January at the call Of Hep
burn.
There was 25 members present but
the presence of several new faces made
the leaders claim that they would have
a large enough following to command
attention. About 2S members will be
needed to combine with the Democrats
to change the rules and the "Insur-
gents" claim that they will have at
least 80 Those present tonight in

UNABLE TO AGREE.
House Committee on Message Can't
Decide Just How to Proceed.

Washington, Dec. 16-Although two
meetings of the select committee of the
House on the recommendation in the
Presidents reference to the motives of
Congress in putting limitation on the
use of the secret service, We're held to-
day, the committee was unable to
reach a unanimous agreement and ad-
journed until tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that the committee is unanimous
in the view that the House should in
some way express its displeasure over
the Presidents utterances. but the ex-
act method to be pursued is what has
caused the disagreement. The division
is said not to be along partisan lines.
1t is believed that an agreement will
be reached and that a report will be
submitted to the House tomorrow.
