Washington, D. c., April 23.-Pre-
senting the completed democratic Ia
riff revision bill to the house yesterday
the democrats of the ways and means
committee recommended radical re-
adjustment of the entire fiscal policy
of the nation.
They proposed to make an income
tax the means of accurately adjusting
the funds to be raised by taxation to
correspond with necessities for gov
eminent expenditures. The report sub
mitted by Chairman Underwood, after
outlining the operations of the pro-
posed income tax, said:
THE revenues from all income taxes
readily respond to changes of rates,
and the latter can be raised or lower
cd within few days time without bust
ness disturbances, such as general ia
riff changes occasion. It is believed
that budget of other effective system
Ivy which congress may be able closely
to calculate and determine in advance
forthcoming expenditures will soon be
.Sevised, in which event it should be-
come easy to maintain close balance
between expenditures and revenues,
such as is practiced in most other civ
ilized countries. With other sources
OF revenue revised to an honest and
fixed basis and the income tax fix
ed part of our revenue system and
at all times affording a substantial
amount of revenue, congress could, and
if necessary should, annually raise or
lower the income tax rates in such
manner as would prevent either a de-
felt or asurplus in the treasury. This
combined tax system would afford
Justice in taxation, fiexibility and sta
mility of revenue and rigid economy
in expenditures"
The democrats, outlining their policy
in the preparation of the bill, announc-
ed an absolute disregard for the cost
of production theory as regulatory of
tariff rates and declared that in the
pending bill they had attempted 60
eliminate protection of profits and to
cut off duties which enable industrial
managers to exact a bonus for which
10 equivalent is rendered.

GOOD RATION FOR
FATTENING FOWLS
Hens Should Be Fed lust About
What They win Clean Up
in Ten Minutes.

A good feed on which to fatten fowls
is two parts of fine corn meal and one
part Of wheat middlings. This should
be mixed into a thick batter, mixing
1t just thick enough that it will drop
freely from a wooden spoon or pad
die. Feed in troughs, having trough
room enough so the fowls will not
crowd. Watch the fowls closely and
feed just about as much as they will
eat clean in ten or fifteen minutes,
then take away the troughs and clean
them. If this batter is mixed with
skinned milk, sweet or sour, or but
termilk, it will be more valuable. If
water be used add to the mixture
about per cent. of the dry weight

to feed them. No water should be CIV
en- under this system of feeding as the
batter fed to them has enough water
for the needs of the fowls eating it.
This sounds very simple but begin
ner will find that in practice it is not
as simple as it seems. Individual
fowls will go off their feed and must
be taken out, and some will finish
quicker than others and should be re-
moved from the pen. Sometimes 1t is
advisable to remove some of the fowls
and reduce the feed given them in or
der to hold them back for the later
ones All these things present prop

Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days. the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un-
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine a horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour. whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The flanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.
