WAR ON TIE LORDS.

The main interest In the historical
debate yesterday In the British House
of Lords on the budget centered In a
grave declaration OF the liberal policy
which fell from Lord Loreburn, lord
high chancellor, In the course OF an
eloquent peroration. Deliberately, he
read slowly from q piece of paper:
sTt is my opinion that 1t is impossible
that any liberal government can ever
again bear the heavy burden of office
unless 1t is secured against repetition
of treatment such IS our measures have
had to undergo for the last four
years."
This statement had an electrical effect
upou the liberal members of the House
of Commons, who crowded the public
galleries.
1t was held that Lord Loreburp's
statement cen only mean that no liberal
leader henceforth will accept Office IN
less be receives pledge from the crown
that sufficient peers will be appointed
on the pTemier's nomination TO secure
the House OF Commons sgainst inter-
ference by the House OF Lords In 6oan
cisl mstters.
After the Earl Of Cfewe, lord privy
seal, had formally moved the second
reading Of the budget bill, without
comment, Lord LsndsdoWne, leader OF
the opposition, who was so hosrse that
be could scarcely be heard, Immediately
moved It's rejection. BE quoted prece-
dents 10 shoW that although the House
Of Lords could not amend finance bill,
1t had full right to discuss 1t and to
throw 1t out, If 1t so willed. Besides,
The present bill, be argued, had tackled
on to 1t legislation, such as land taxa
ton and increased license duties, which
the House Of Lords already had rejected,
and which had been placed 10 the bill
with a view to oustiDg the lords from
the lords from their legitimate oppor-
tunity of dealing With these measures.
No self-respectiDg second chamber
would tolerate such treatment.
Lord Loreburn replied, contendipg
that there was nothing 10 the bill foreign
to finance With which the House OF
Commerce bad the exclusive right to
deal. The attempt of the lords to in'
terfere, be declared, was the beginning
Of a system which would lead to con-
siitutionsl revolution. What vas en-
bodied 10 the bill was not new either In
The Uuited States or Germany aud had
been spptOved not only by the present,
but by the lsta House Of Commons

psers addressed the House, but interest

How to Make whitswash.

Slack One-half bushel of unslacked
lime with boiling water, keeping it COW
cred during the process. Strain 1t and
add peck of salt dissolved in warm
water. Add also three pounds OF
ground rice put in boiling water and
boiled to a thin paste, one-half pound
of powdered Spanish whiting and a
pound of clear glue dissolved in warm
water. Mix all these we'll together
and let the mixture stand for several
days. Keep the wash thus prepared
in a kettle or portable furnace and
when used put 1t on as hot as possible
with painters or whitewash brushes.
This whitewash has been found by ex-
perience to answer on wood, brick and
stone nearly as well as oil paint, and
1t is much cheaper.-Home and Farm.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
some PoultrY Wiadom.


Some do well with several different
breeds Of hens. but for most folks one
kind is best.
Give plenty OF litter for the bIddies
to work in; clear up to their knees
is not too much. 1t does them good 10
work, and they like 1t too.
You can keep as many hens as Won
like, only do not have too many in a
dock. Not more than twenty-five should
be kept in a place.
You viii not be able to give your
hens newly dug earth these days. but
you can give them earth that has not
been worked over by the chicks. This
you should always try to do, for earth
which has been dug over repeatedly is
not clean, and it may have germs Of
disease in It,
It Is wrong to dose healthy hens
with stimulants.
Any hustlers among your hens
They are the ones that bring you in
the money.
Are your hens too fat? Give them
more to do
Be regular in feeding and keep clear
OF digestive troubles Farm Journal.

Treating Seed Grains For Smut.

treating seed Grains For Smut.
The Office Of experiment stations at
Washington recently received a report
from the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton Of experiments carried on for the
purpose Of lessening the loss caused
by smut diseases Of barley. The treat
ments included soaking the seed grain
in fOrmaldehyde and corrosive subli-
mate solutions and a modified form Of
the hot water treatment. The formal
dehyde and corrosive sublimate treat
ments were effective in controlling the
form of smut known as closed smut,
but they were without effect for the
loose smut of barley. For the latter
it is recommended that the seed be
soaked for twelve hours in cold water
after which it should be submerged
from five to twenty minutes in water
at a temperature of 100 degrees. AS
this treatment Is efficient for both
forms of smut, 1t is recommended for
combating smut diseases Of barley.

so must be fed again to keep her in
good humor. 1t is better plan to do
the milking first and then feed imme-
diately, and cows that are accustomed
to this treatment generally give down
their milk cheerfully, for they know
that milking is a prelude to feeding. A
COW Is much smarter than she looks
and more grateful than most persons
would believe. So long as the COWS
know they are not going to be struck
or beaten they will neither kick nor
hook. An experienced milkman will
never allow any loud talking or ex-
element about his barn or stable, for
the quieter the cows are kept the
greater the quantity Of milk given and
the easier the work is performed

Thumps In Swine.

Medicines cannot do much for pigs
affected by thumps, says Professor
Thomas Shaw in the New England
Homestead. But to guard against con-
stipatiOn it may be we'll to give
physic, as castor oil or salts. The
other remedial measures are the same
as the preventive. They consist in
enforcing exercise. This may be
brought about by chasing the pigs
about the pen with a switch when the
sow is eating or shut away from them
A second method is to shut them away
from the SOW in a pen or box and al
low them to worry for time in the
effort to get back. The exercise which
they get under such conditions will be
Of much benefit to them.
