The majority report is confined to
a statement Of the facts, including
excerpts from the testimony and cor
respondence concerning the opera
tiOns of the National Association OF
Manufacturers. and to formal con-
illusions couched in many cases in
severe language. The resolution

goes considerably further. 1t sets
forth that unless the popular branch
Of congress is kept above suspicion
the balance between the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of
government is endangered, contends
that il Is the duty of congress fear
lessly to expose and to apply the most
drastic remedies, particularly as there
is roadcOast a suspicion of conditions
in congress. 1t urges the need Of re-
forms in the legislative methods Of
the house, simplification of the
rules to avoid trivial technicalities.

ordered system OF docketing in COM
mittees, abolition of the party caucus,
a system of registration of lobbyists
and penalizing of attempts TO bride
or otherwise improperly influence
legislation. The report further de-
clares that the alleged lobby under
investigation was a battle between
the vested and labor interests and ar
raigns the so-called Workmen's Pro-
Gov
Vaccinations OF lobbyists. 1t states
that the disclosures a few days after
Pres Wilson's public charge of i'm
proper influences at work on legisla-
ton brought overwhelming proof of
the need of the inquiry.

STAPLE FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Hens Cannot Give Best Results When
Fed Grain Alone-Fowls De-
mand Variety of Feed.

Grain is the staple food for poultry
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms, but
hens cannot give good results on grain
alone. 1t is beneficial to them and will
be at all times re1ished, but the de-
mands of the hens are such as to call
for a variety. In the shells of eggs
as well as their composition are sew
eral forms of mineral matter and nitro
gen, which can only be partially OBJ
tanned from grain.
Even grains vary in composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for a long time they will begin to re-
fuse it, as they may. be oversupplied
with the elements of the food partaken
and lack the elements that are best
supplied from some other source. For
this reason they will accept a change
of food which is Of itself an evidence
that the best results from hens can
only be obtained by variety of food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but must be given as
a portion of the ration and no. made
exclusive articles of diet.

HOW TO PREVENT CAT SMUT
Grain Should Be Treated With For
naiin Solution in Morning and
Drilled in Same Day.

To prevent cat smut, the grain
should be treated with formalin. II
takes about one ounce of formalin for
every five bushels Of grain to be treat.
ed.
Clean a space on the barn floor and
thoroughly sprinkle it with the for
malfn solution before spreading the
seed grain. The oats should be run
through the tanning mill twice to re-
move all light grain, as only heavy
clean seed should be sown. Spread
down the seed grain, then sprinkle the
grain with the formalin solution made
as follows: Forma1in, one ounce; wa
ter, two and one-half gallons; nix
thoroughly. The solution can be an.
Piled with fine rose watering pot;
shovel the grain over SO that every
seed is coated with the solution. When
all the grain is coataed, shovel the
grain into a round pile and cover with
sacks for not more than two or three
hours, then spread out, and as soon
as the oats will not stick together it
is fit to sow Or drill. The grain should
be treated in the morning and drilled
IN the same day. The drill should be
set to drill two and one-fourth to two
and one-half bushels to the acre, as
the oats, having absorbed considerable
water are larger than dry oats Have
the ground thoroughly mel,owed;
drill the oats in with $50 pounds to
the acre Of some good bone fertilizer.
Even if the ground is in good order, it
will pay to use the fertilizer. The fer
tilizer will ripen the grain early, the
straw will stand up stiff and cannot be
blown down by summer storms and
the yield will be increased fully 10 tc
- bushels per acre.

which Love received when the Con-

Love refused to pay back good
money and was arrested by United

money from a drug store, when he
was told the bill was worthless. On

NEW SCHOOL is A MODEL
New York Now in Possession Of Pub
lie Institution to~Accom-
naodate $500.

New York.-The worlds most up-to.
date school is now part of New
York's educational system as a result
OF the opening here of the city's new.
est high school, which at the same
time is one that in the opinion of IA
nous educators, marks the beginning
of new educational epoch.
This unique school will be larger
than any except a few of the great
universities, having accommodations
for 5000 pupils and 228 instructors.
Its curriculum will include many
branches of practical training on a
scale not hitherto attempted.
For example, there is a seven-room
furnished apartment, in which the stu
dents of domestic science can strug-
gle with the problems of housekeep-
ing under actual conditions. and a
model banking institution in which the
future leaders or high finance can
master its intricacies in manner
never before possible.
Then there is a garment factory
with many sewing rooms in which
management and other details of the
garment trade will be taught, a book
binding plant in which pupils may
take a complete course in this indus
try, a miniature ZOO" for the study
of animal life and roof conservatory
in which horticultural knowledge may
be gained in regular classes
While vocational training is provid-
ed for in many ways hitherto unat-
tempted, the care Of the physical well
fare and recreation of the students
has been provided for along lines
equally unique. For these purposes
the new school contains a theater with
a seating capacity Of 1900, in which
histrionic ability may be encouraged;
basketball courts, gymnasiums in
which particular attention will be paid
to the physical deficiencies Of the stu
dents together with their upbuilding,
shower baths and lunchroom in
which 700 pupils can eat at one time.

what animals and birds are beneficial
and what detrimental to the welfare
of man, has just been looking into
the case of the crow The farmer has
long accused this meddlesome bird OF
doing him much damage through pull

there were extenuating circumstances.
The stomachs of hundreds OF crows
were examined that the diet of the
crow might be definitely determined.
In some of these stomachs sprouting
corn was found. In some the eggs of
other birds Indicated that the crow
was a robber of its fellows. For each

Most Serious Problem.

Infectious abortion among cattle
has become one of the most serious
problems for cattle owners so far as
infectious diseases are concerned.
It is well entitled to rank in import
ance with tuberculosis, hog cholera,
and Texas fever. Two new medical
treatments have recently appeared,
either one of which may possibly
prove to be of very great Importance.
One, abortin, is used like tuberculin,
as diagnostic; and the other is
vaccine, which it is hoped will I'M
munize heifers against the infection.
There is not sufficient reliable infor-
nation available as yet upon which
to justify any definite statement.
Breeders should keep these things in
mind and watch for future develop
