The FinoherCandlish smelter in
vestigatipg bill is now being debated
in the state senate, and it is to be
hoped that some relief for mining
may be had by the passage of this
bill. AS regards the placing of smelt-
ers under public utilities like rail
roads. gas companies. tramway, ETC.,
there appears to be grave question
regarding it's constitutionality, as un-
like these corporations, they are the
buyer instead CT the seller to the
public. The senate bill calls for q
committees examination of smelter
books and methods of conducting bus
tness, and their findings given to
the public. This bill will undoubted-
iy be strenously opposed by the
smeiter Lobby, who have gathered in
force to defeat the bill.

Evolution of Envelope.

There are many persons now living
who can remember the days when let.
tiers went through the mails in the
form of folded sheet of paper sealed
at one edge, for envelopes were not In
common use until about 1865.
In that year II machine was patented
for producing these now Indispensable
covers for epistolary correspondence
machine which, as compared with
hand labor, did the work of five girls.
A better machine was produced In
1862, which performed the work of
seven girls. Three years later came
the machine with device for gum
ming the flap of the envelope, which
did the work Of ten girls. Next came
another machine of American device,
which. did the work of 20 girls. and
still largely used. This has n rival in
an invention which gums, prints, folds
and counts the envelopes. and binds
them with u paper band in packets of
20. This machine supplants the la.
Dor of 80 girls.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
BY Edward Keating

Washington, d. c., Feb. 15.-In my
judgment, 1t would be a mighty good
thing II members of congress before
voting on the question Of war, might
return to their districts and spend a
few weeks with their constituents.
We breathe a tainted atmosphere
here in Washington. All the news
papers are controlled by big Bust
ness" ard the city Is full Of army
and navy officials and o:hers who
would be benefited, rather than in.
jured by war. There is much loose
talk, especially by the newspapers,
which are quick to brand any man
who speaks fer peace as ''pacifist"
and to intimate that he is controlled
by Germany. On the other hand they
give much space and laudatory MOTTO
es to the jingoes whose cry is ION
to Europe"
AS an example, the other night
Colonel Harvey, of the Ncr;h Ameri-
can Re,iew-the brightest and most
persistent press agent that big bus
mess" has in this country-made
speech advocating that we not only
declare war wi b Germany but that
we send at least two million men to
Europe. This speech was put on the
first pages of the big eastern dailies
and in introduction and headlines
was warmly indorsed. Every effort
was made to convince the reader
that Colonel Harvey spoke fer the
American people.
Did he?
In my opinion, most emf hatically
no!
think l know the people Of my
district pretty we'll, and do not be-
lieve that five per cent CT the men
and women who sent me to congress
want me to vote fer measures which
will draft their boys for service in
Europe.
What is true of my district, is true
of practically every other district in
this country.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PRIMARY LAW

The primary law, inaugurated in
this state few years ago, has been
thoroughly tried and like the commits
sion law, tried out in Denver. has
been found to be very expensive as
well as unsatisfactory.
There is bill now before the leg
islature providing for the return to
the old convention system under diff
ferent auspices. The bill provides
that all candidates shall be elected
by ballot instead of orally as hereto
fore. 1t also forbids the trading of
delegations for the nomination Of
certain candidates, and makes such
acts a misdemeanor punishable by
law.
This bill, IL it's intent and purpose
Is honestly carried out, Is the correct
system of making nominations, and
relieves the candidate as well as the
county from all the expense, that is
heaped upon them by the present pri-
mary law.
The present primary law reads well
ON PAPER, but SO far has not given
satisfaction ard has as many loop
holes for chicanery as the old con-
vention system, aside from it's great
expense to the taxpayer and the an
imosity that is bound to arise be-
tween different factions of the party
Should the bill become law we
think 1t would be great improve
ment over existing conditions.

Another proof that IN antiquated
prison system is giving way to meth
ods which show intelligent considera-
ton for the prisoner comes from Kan
sas. Instead Of having to stay In their
cells after supper, the inmates of the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth
are permittd to attend night school.
The prison dining-room b used as the
schoolroom, and, what is even more in
teresting. the teachers are chosen from
among the prisoners. Thus United
States officials are seeing to it that
inwbreakers shall be better equipped
to earn an honest living when they
leave prison than when they enter.-

SKINNED MILK FOR CALVES
Fed With Care 1t Will Probably
Be Injurious.

There is no doubt that skinned
milk is a good feed for calves but I'M
less It Is fed with care 1t will probably
be injurious. Taken alone 1t Is not
a balanced ration. However, it is usr-
ally fed this way and the result is that
the calf is liable to get indigestion, as
shown by bloated condition, capri
cious appetite and diarrhea. Most Of
this trouble can be avoided by adding
handful of oil meal, cornmeal or
cottonseed meal, to supply, in a way,
the fat that has been removed in the
skimming. The milk should be given
to them warm and never when 1t is
frothy. Never allow calf to drink all
Of the milk that it wants at one meal.
It is bad practice to allow several
calves to drink out of one trough, some
Of them will get too much. Care in
feeding calves is Of Vastly more i'm

method, and then to strike a sharp
blow ON the back of the head with a
round stick, stunning the animal. As
soon as the neck Is dislOcated or the
rabbit stunned the jugular vein should
be cut with sharp knife and the ami
NAL hung head downward to bleed.
Dressing.
The next step in preparing a carcass
for market is to remove the paunch
and entrails, as their presence would
soon faint the meat. With a sharp
pointed knife make longitudinal cut
down the middle of the belly, divid-
ing the skin and the thin abdominal
walls, but being careful not to cut the
intestines. Turn out the paunch and
the intestines, but leave the lungs,
liver, heart, and kidneys in place.
Next make a slit between the large
tendon and the bone of one hind leg
and slip the other leg through the cut,
so that the carcass may be readily
hung up. 1t should hang long enough
to stiffen before being packed.
Packing.
For packing the rabbits for market
a basket or hamper of the ordinary
shape and having movable fiat Slated
trays to enable one to pack the car
casses in separate layers is recon-
mended. Such.a hamper permits free
circulation Of the air not only on the
edge but also throughout the package,
and the carcasses packed in this way
reach their destination in an attractive
state, instead of in the messy condi-
ton so often seen in the wild rabbits
marketed in America.
Cooking and Serving.
The cooking Of domestic rabbits
does not differ greatly from that re-
quired for domestic fowls, and an ex-
perienced housewife can prepare them
in variety of savory ways. AS the
meat is naturally somewhat dry, as
much as possible of the juices should
be retained In cooking it.

SCALES AND ACCOUNT BOOK
Demonstrate That Dairy Cows Are
Merry Responsive to Neglect or
Shortage of Feed.

The scales and the account book
show that dairy cows are very respon-
sive to neglect or a shortage of feed
during the changeable fall weather ;
and that 1t is far more difficult to re-
turn them to a gaining basis than it is
during other seasons Of the year. Cows
are naturally declining in milk yields
during the fall months, SO it is i'm.
portant that they have good care an,
liberal feeding to counterfeit the nat
ural tendencies.
