REVISION UP TO DEMOCRATS.
Further Recommendations by PrcSi-
dent Useless, Writes Taft.

Washington. Dec. 6.-President
Taft will make no further effort to
have Congress reduce the tariff. In
a general" message to Congress,
submitted to-day, tho President
clearly indica- ed his intention Of
leaving further tariff revision to Mr..
Wilson and the Congress just elected.
Now that new Congress has
been elected on a platform Of tariff
for revenue only rather than a pro-
tective tariff. and is to revise the
tariff on that basis" said the Presi-
dent 1T is needless for me to oc-
cupy the time Of Congress with ar
guments or recommendations in fa-
vor OF a protective tariff"

every department Of the government
except the State department., recon-
mended much Of the legislation
which Mr.. Taft previously had urged
upon the attention Of Congress and
took up and discussed at length sew
eral subjects comparatively new.
Mr.. Taft came out strongly against
independence for the Philippines,

fore Congress. He deprecated the
new policy OF one battleship a year
instead Of two, and endorsed again
the scheme OF currency reform pro-
posed by the national monetary COM
mission.

amendment of bills now before Con-
gress so that water power compa-

He declared that no radical change

needed and praised the Supreme

DEMOCRATS CUT ESTIMATES.
Appropriations Slashcd-No PrOvis-
ion Made for Commerce Court.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The first big
supply bill Of the present session OF
Congress, the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, was
reported to the House to-day. The
measure carries $34,S37,105.50,
decrease OF $319,027.SS from the
corresponding bill in the previous
session. Estimates Of the Secretary
OF the Treasury ($36,514,955.50),
were cut more than $1,000,0O0 by
the committee.
AS presented to the full commit
tee, by the subcommittee which
framed 1t, the bill included a rro-
lsion by Representative Burleson, OF
Texas, making former Presidents
members-at-large Of the House with
salary Of s17,5O0. But a full
committee disapproved, and it was
struck out.
The commerce court Is not pro-
vlded for In the measure. The court
asked for $54,500 for the coming fis-
cal year, but the committee would
not allow the item. The last legisla-
tive, executive and judicial bill gave
the court just enough money to con-
tinue 1t to March next year.
President-elect Wilson probably
will get the regular annual allowance
Of $4,000 for travelling expenses
The committee included in the
bill provision putting the clerks of
the members Of the House on the
House pay rolls and paying them
direct. At present members draw
$1,000 a year for clerk hire and pay
their own clerks. There has been
much complaint that the full amount
does not go to the clerk. The bill
omits all appropriations for the mint
at Carson. Nevada, and assay offices
at Charlotte, N. c.; Boise, Idaho;
Helena, Mont, and Salt Lake City,
Utah.
The bill will be considered on the
floor at once and will be the first
supply measure sent to the Senate.

and this per cent Is equal to more
than six inches of rainfall. In other
words, the summer tillage did as
much good as 6 inches Of additional
rain would have done.
To see If actual crop growth bears
out these calculations, a series Of
plats uncultivated and a series Of
plats titled while lying fallow were
all sown to wheat, and monthly eX-
aminations were made Of the mois-
ture in the soil, and 1t was found
that the titled plats averaged only 1
per cent more moisture than the I'M
titled plats, showing that the crop
had made use Of the other per cent
plats. The yield from the plats that
had been titled while lying fallow
averaged 1914 bushels per acre, and
on the plats that were untitled while
lying fallow the average was a frac-
tion less than IA bushels per acre
n difference Of more than 5 n BUSH
els in favor Of summer tillage of
land intended for wheat the follow
ing season.
1t was found that the same advant-
ages held good in case Of cultivated
crops, such as corn and potatoes, as
with wheat; but that the cultivation
during the growing season conserved
soil moisture as well as the cultiva-
ton durir 2 the fallow season preced-
ing the planting. The corn crop Of
40 bushels per acre, took from the
soil about 1 per cent more Of its
moisture than the potato crop Of
1874 bushels per acre,
Half Of the plats to lie fallow dur
ing the summer we're broken up the
previous fall and the other half the
previous spring; but neither the
amounts Of moisture found in the
soil by the monthly examinations, nor
the yields Of crops planted after the
fallow season ended showed any ap-
preciable difference between fall
breaking and spring breaking. Prob

winter precipitation Is very light in
Montana.
Examinations made at the end Of
the six years Of these tests showed
that the soil moisture OF the culti-
waited plats had increased while that
Of the adjacent. pasture lands had re-
mained stationary. Possibly this
fact-namely, that the soil moisture
Increases from year to year in culti-
waited lands-accounts for the opin-
ion generally prevalent that as a
country Is settled up and put in cul-
tivation its rainfall increases; the
truth being that the increased mois-
ture and more reliable crop yields
are due to tillage instead of increas-
ed rainfall.

Chick Feeding.

Bulletin 23 Of the Tuskegee, Ala
bama, Station treats of poultry rails
ing; but the larger portion of the
bulletin Is devoted to the subject Of
rations for the young fowls, and since
the other portions of this bulletin
but repeat well-known principles laid
down in standard works on poultry,
| will omit consideration Of them.
The first SO hours after emerging
from the shell the little poult Is
nourished by the unabsorbed rem
nant Of the yolk of the egg still
within its body. After it begins to
respond to the appeal of hunger, It's
f1rst need Is for grit with which to
grind the food it may swallow;
hence fine, sharp sand or other grit
should be placed within reach. Fine
charcoal is also beneficial, but not
necessary.
AS to the food itself, it is we'll to
remember that very little fat or en-
ergy Is to be produced, but a large
proportion Of muscle, bone and feath-
ers; hence the food should consist
Of generous allowances Of pinhead
oat meal, cracked wheat, meat scraps,
bone meal, peas, beans, etc, ground
small. To supply heat and energy,
coarse corn grits, broken rice, kafTir,
milo maize, sorghum seed, millet or
rape seed, etc, should be added to
the mixture in smaller measure.
MIX curds are good. If mash be
given it can be mixed with milk, or
milk may be given instead Of water
for drinking. The mash should
either be squeezed dry enough to
"crumble" or should be baked as a
"johnycake."
The Tnskcgee station uses a ra-
ton composed Of equal parts, by
measure, OF wheat, corn, COW peas,
rye, rice and sorghum seed, ground
as fine as coarse grits and fed dry.
The Maine station feeds a mixture,
by weight, Of 5 parts cracked wheat,
10 parts pinhead oatmeal, 3 parts
cracked peas, Is parts fine cracked
corn, 2 parts broken rice, 2 parts fine
