Congressional Indifference" is a
subject dwelt upon at some length by
the committee.
The Territory of Hawaii is not
getting a square deal from Congress, q"
it is stated. Since annexation it has
turned in more than one hundred mil
lion dollars in taxes to the federal
treasury; it willingly furnished its full
quota of men and otherwise did it's
full duty in the late war; it asks no
especial treatment except in one small
matter of labor legislation and this
only because of it's peculiar labor con
ditions.
at has received appropriations of
about three million dollars for har-
Dor work since its annexation and no
federal appropriation for roads what
ever, although the roads in the
vicinity of Honolulu are used more
by government transports than by any
other vehicles"
Record In Taxes
This section of the report also calls
attention to the fact that the territory
paid more taxes in one year than any
one of 10 of the sovereign states and
received less federal appropriations
for harbors and roads. $50 far, the
request for special labor legislation
has been tabled by both houses of
Congress the item concludes.
Under the head of Political AS.

1t is suggested that the chamber

BEST PACKAGES FOR CHEESE
Boxes Are Subjected to Rough Treat
ment in Handling and Should
Be Good and Strong.

Certain characteristics of American
cheese, most valuable for export pur-
poses, in addition to good flavor, In
clude firm, close-bOdied texture, clean
and sound rind, and strong, well-made
packages. The favored export style
Is the large so-called "cheddar,"
weighing from 60 to 80 pounds, al
though of later years a good many
twins" have been exported. Twins"
weigh about 35 pounds each, and are
packed two In box.
The matter of the package Is very
important, as the boxes are subjected
to rough handling in loading and un-
loading. The most satisfactory boxes
are sufficiently large for the entire
cheese, for with a cheese higher than
the box, the pressure of other boxes
piled on top destroys the shape of
the cheese and Injuries the rind.
1t is common in the United States
to paraffin most of the cheese market
ed a week or ten days after the cheese
Is made, which permits free moisture
to escape and allows for the usual
shrinkage. During the spring, sum-
mer, and autumn, the use of refriger-
ator cars, where a temperature of 35
degrees to 40 degrees F. may be main
tanned, is important In shipping, 1t
has been found as result of expert
ments conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

grades highest, and consequently brings
the most money, is usually that having
the best natural green color. Hay
dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early, medium
or late, and in their opinion the bes
hay is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late.
The average hay grower, however,
In some sections at least, does not
agree with the terminal market theory
Of quality as indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because II
Is easier to cure and not as 'washy"
as early cut hay.
In some markets size and weight
Of bales Is an important factor, since
there is sometimes difference Of sew
eral dollars a ton in the same grade
of hay in small or large bales. The
reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and
not always based on facts, it Is said.
However, as in many other kinds of
trading, it pays the seller to aim to
meet the desires Of the buyer.
Undesirable Mixtures Cause Loss.
The production of undesirable mix
lures for the market will cause loss
to the producer as long as the market
does not want mixtures. Certain of
these are Disseminated against regard
less Of their true nutritive or feed
ing value. The producer may know
positively that certain mixtures are
palatable and contain more total di-
gestible nutrients than the kinds now
in greatest demand, yet he is power
less to make feeders realize their value
The introduction and general use Of
a new kind or mixture of hay is a
very slow undertaking, as In the case
Of clover and alfalfa.
About the only way to avoid trouble
with undesirable mixtures, says the
bulletin, is for the producer to cease
growing them and to produce only the
kind In demand In the markets to
which his hay Is usually shipped.

upon application to the department at

ADVANTAGE OF VELVET BEAN
When Properly Dried II Is Distinct
Addition to Protein Concentrates
for Cattle.

When properly dried before ship
ment, velvet bean feed is a distinct
addition to the protein concentrates
at the disposal of northern feeders.
In the opinion of DR.. ]. B. Lindsey
of Massachusetts station. 1t has
proved slightly better than wheat bran
for making milk. 1t may constitute
as high as 40 per cent Of the grain
ration for cows; but 20 per cent for
pigs and horses Is considered enough.
Doctor Lindsey recommends for cows
a ration of 40 per cent velvet bean
feed. 40 per cent corn or hominy meal
or ground oats and 20 per cent cotton
seed meal or some other high-grade
protein concentrate.

BESSIE

nESSIE Is, Of course, one Of the
ID derivatives Of Elizabeth, but so
frequently is 1t given in baptism
without any reference to its more
proper antecedent that 1t has come to
be regarded as separate and dis
tinct name.
Through its association with Eliza
beth, 1t has its source In the old
Hebrew name, Elisheba, and probably
came to be evolved from the shorten
ing Of Elizabeth to Beth, whence
Bess shortly followed The first Bess
on record is said to have been Eliza
beth Woodville, whose mother, Jac-
quetta of Luxemburg, imported it from
Flanders. Shakespeare's Edward "
called her Bess. and her daughter,
Elizabeth of Yorke, was called LADY
Bessee" In the verses which told of
the political courtship of Henry Of
Richmond. Pretty Bessee" is the
granddaughter Of Simon de Mont
ford In the old English ballad.
"Good Queen Bess" is too well
known to need comment, but through
her Bess had incredible popularity in
the English court, at least one out of
every three young women bearing the
name of the queen. How Bessee, the
endearing form of Bess, came to
be spelled Bessie Is not satisfactorily
explained, unless 1t is the Scotch
preference which gained vogue in
England. Bessie is a favorite Scotch
name, but Betsey. its equivalent, soon
became popular in England and re-
mains so.
Germany calls Bessie, Lischen. She
Is Babette In France and Beta In
Italian. Russia has a form taken
from the German, Lisenka.
The fiame-hearted ruby is Bessie's
talismanic gem. 1t promises her
courage, invincibility and long life.
Sunday is her lucky day and 1 her
lucky number. The lily, sIgnifying
purity, Is her flower.

about it, which tells the story better
than any other way, so here 1t is:
First he stood on his ear and then on
his nose,
Then he danced on his tail and danced
on his toes.
The wood folks ran out to see the strange
sight,
Sure Jackie R. had lost his wits quite.
But Jackie Rabbit had not lost his
wits at all. He was trying to stop
cutting queer capers, but all he could
do was to cali out, 'Take them off
take them off" and, Of course, the
wood folks did not know what he
meant.
Grandfather Rabbit, who had seen
many strange things in his time, said
they must form in ring and catch
Jackie when he came that way and
hold him until they could find out the
meaning Of "Take them off,"
So the next time Jackie danced to-
ward the animals they caught him
and held him fast. "Take them off J"
cried Jackie, holding up the paws
with the mittens and then Grand
father Rabbit pulled off the Goblin's
red mittens and down on the ground
Jackie Rabbit fell, all tired out with
capering about so fast on the snow.
When he got his breath Jackie told
them how he happened to have the
mittens and Grandfather Rabbit told
him that he should have known better
than to put on anything belonging to
magic people.
Jackie said he never again would
try on anything that belonged to
those strange little people and ran off
to give the mittens to the Goblin, who
was still hunting for them.
When the Goblin saw the mittens
he danced with joy, and besides thank
ing Jackie Rabbit the Goblin gave
him some nice green things for a
salad.
Jackie was very glad to get rid of
the mittens, and ran home and slept
all day, he was so tired from the run
the magic mittens gave him, and now
if he sees anything red he looks, but
never touches.
"Tll tell the goblins where they
are" said Jackie, "if l see their nit
tens; but I will never even touch
them again for any goblin l ever saw"

prepared by the United States Department

What to do with lOw-grade hay has
long been a vexing problem to the hay
trade. Losses running into the thous-
ands of dollars annually have been suf-
fered by producers because of the diff
ficulty encountered in disposing Of hay
that is improperly prepared for mai
ket, or Is of mixture that causes 1t
to be regarded as of a low grade.
In Department Bulletin 977, Mar
keting Hay at Country Points," recent
ly issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the failure to
remedy this situation Is ascribed to
two chief reasons: The producer and
the dealers do not yet agree as to what
constitutes quality in hay, and many
producers lack vital market informa-
tion regarding the preparation of hay
for terminal and consuming markets.
Color Counts Most.
Quality of hay is at present in
dicated largely by its color, which
is used to gauge the stage Of maturity
at which 1t is cut. The hay that
