second. that peoples and provinces
are not to be bartered about from
sovereignty to sovereignty as if they

Under the rates as agreed upon by
the senate committee fifteen cent
adm ission would pay a tax of three
cents instead of four as under the
house rate. while a twenty cent tic-

sions if the rates are lowered.
The liquor taxes were also lowered
by the committee in accordance with
the same opinion that the amount Of
revenue derived by the government
will be slightly more under lower
rates. The house bill imposed a tax
OF IS gallon upon all distilled
spirits withdrawn from bond for sale;
the senate reduced this tax to $40 a
gallon. The tax upon distilled liquor
held in bond was reduced from $40
a gallon to $3.20 gallon. and the
floor tax upon the same liquor was
gallon, upon spirits not intended for
beverage purposes: liquors intended for
beverages will pay a floor tax of $500
a gallon instead Of $3.50. AZ fixed by
the house. The beer and wine taxes
were all approved.
The section permitting the expor-
tation Of distilled liquors was amend
ed so that expectations may be made
to the allied countries only. This
would shut out the neutral countries
such as Spain, Norway, Sweden and
Holland from receiving any distilled
liquor from this country during the
continuance Of the war.
The house provisions imposing q
tax on wire. radio and transportation
systems were approved, including the
special tax Of ten per cent on the
amount paid for leased wires and
special talking cidcuite.

tobacco and cigar taxes was approx

committee struck out the dlfferential
against cigarettes Of different cost

Few animals are as easily raised as

For all purposes, except exhibition,
the only kinds Of guinea pigs that
should be grown are the smooth-h6ired
varieties. These are Of several colors.
IL guinea pigs are raised for table use,
l~ight-colored' kinds ARE to be preferred I:
II for scientific purposes, color is Of
little Importance, although distinctive
markings are desirable. The chief
point In selecting stock is to obtain
healthy animals that will mature quick
~ and attain good size.
Guinea pigs require about the sams
Kind OF accommodations as rabbits.
Two general methods of managing
them have been acknowledgements and
houses. Also they require about tho
same diet as rabbits. They eat fire.
quently during the day, and should
have a constant supply OF staple, dry
food. A pan OF water, u piece OF rock
salt and n pan OF dry grain should be
constantly available.
The rearing Of gulnen pigs requires
no extraordinary knowledge and no
grcnt outlay OF capital little space In
needed TO accommodate the animals,
which are hardy and easily managed.
They make interesting pets and salts
