2 GOVERNOR CUT OUT OVER $12,000 Acts on the General Deficiency Bill For the Rest of Fiscal Year Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh late last night announced that he had cut $1*2,800 from the general de ficiency bill, which was passed carry ing $613,576.79 to run the State gov ernment until the first of next June. '1 wo years ago his reductions in the Mmilar bill amounted to $98,800. This session the House appropriations committee pruned the estimates of t over $900,000 with vigor and when the bill was first printed it contained 4866,000. The committee then held a series of hearings and proceeded to use an axe. The Governor's power of reduction fell heaviest upon tho State Senate, $2,000 being cut off the Item for sal aries and expenses of officers and em ployes. As the estimates werei based on a session of 150 days, it is said to-day that the reductions will not ln terfero to any great extent with the upper house. The lower house was clipped to the same extent. Two years ago the Gdvernor cut $25,000 each from the Senate and House salary, mileage and expense lists, these two vetoes being more than half of his total cuts at that time. The Health Department, which was cut $20,000 last session, was not touched this time. Its appropriation for medical inspection not being pruned. The Go%ernor gave no reasons for reductions. Tho Items he .cut Includ ed two which were jumped In com mittee. One was for the Senate ex penses and the other for foresters In the Department of Forestry. The lat ter item was raised in committee to SIB,OOO from $15,000. The Governor cut off SI,OOO. The bill contains an item of $3,000 to pay Interest on printing bills, which will be taken care of in later legisla tion. having been cut out of the de ficiency. It also contains $43,788.33 for the fees and expenses of the es cheaters and their lawyers in the Har mony escheat. • The Governor did not touch this item. Neither did ho make any change in the sum of SBOO for ex penses of the unveiling of the Oakley paintings in the Senate chamber. The fact that the Governor made so few reductions as compared to the cuts of 1915 was due to the fact that Chairmen Buckman and Woodward, of the appropriations committee, took up the bill with him while it was in committee and reached an under standing on most of the items. The reductions are as follows: Mid wifery licensure in the Department of Public Instruction, $500; salaries of foresters, etc., In Department of For estry, $1,000; expenses automobile di vision, State Highway Department, $1,000; public grounds and buildings salaries, etc., $2,000! public printing; and binding supplies, $1,000; main tenance steamer Commodore Perry. Department of Fisheries, $200; Water ; Supply Commission, emergency work, 1 *500; Board of Censors. expenses. $100; Senate, salaries and mileage of officers and employes, $4,000; House j of Representatives, salaries and mike- , i age, $2,000. Economy Hearings Are off Until Next Week Hearings by the State Economy and Efficiency Commission on the in creases asked in appropriations by heads of departments have been post poned until next week by Governor Brumbaugh. It had been planned to have the hearings yesterday and to day, but the Governor was busy dur ing the day with Attorney General • Brown on the deficiency bill and other matters, including the developments in the Thaw oase and Mr. Brown had to go to Philadelphia. The Governor stated that he wanted to make some studies of requests, in cluding- those for highways and schools which he thought were amply | justified and that he wanted to con sider pending legislation relating to the Department of Labor and Industry before deciding upon its estimate. The chairmen of the legislative ap propriation committees will be invited to meet with the commission next week when it begins its hearings. The commission will make up the budget as called for by the Daix resolution and the figures will probably be more or less definite. I TO STUDY PEACE By Associated Press Buenos Aires.

LIGHTY URGES AN ENSILAGE METHOD Fanning Expert Says That Men Can Get Better Results by Thorough Study Northern tier farmers of Pennsyl vania had considerable trouble with their corn crop sown for ensilage last season on account of the wet weather and some of them turned their attention to millet and added it with tho im matured corn for silo use. One of the lsrge dairy feeders writes the Depart ment of Agriculture asking whether corn and millet are good ensilage and practical to feed. L. W. Eighty, farm adviser on dairying and crop rotations, saygj "Millet If cut Just at the right time will eontaln as muoh protein and energy n well glazed silage corn, and if the smaller kind, Hungarian, Is Brown, just a little more. The grosa, however, grows so rapidly and ma tures so quickly that we are opt to get it when the fiber percentage is very large and the nutrlmonts less. There is something about millet that the cattle do not like, neither the grass nor the hay and if put in the silo alone they generally will refuse to eat It. The addltloiV of corn may bring about a different condition, but It is well to try it in a small way. "I believe that corn and millet mixed about half and half would be fully as good as corn alone from the analysis viewpoint only, but pala tibility has so much to do with maxi mum production that analysis does not tell tho whole story. Millet does not seem to be unwholesome to cows, but sometimes it seems to have a bad effect on horses. If the corn can be grown to a reasonable degree of ma turity, and it can in the northern tier counties in a normal year, I am sure one can secure better results from all corn than from a mixture with millet." According to reports to the depart ment there are an unusually large number of farm sales this spring and in some sections the farmers, both owner and tenant, have given up the work on account of the scarcity of farm help. Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton urges all farmers not to re duce their acreage in potatoes this year as a continued potato famine would be a great calamity with the country in its present unsettled state. The Dairy - and Food Bureau of the Department of Agriculture has total receipts for January and February of $299,645.28 against a total of slightly over $303,000 for the entire year of 1916. Prosecutions against dealers violating the pure food acts in the sale of adulterated and impure foods resulted in fines of $1,14 0.00 being paid into the State Treasury during February. The tendency of the farmers in the State at the present time seems to be for the continued use of more lime and less commercial fertilizers.

Ex-President Jose Miguel Gomez, head of tho Lib eral revolution movement in Cuba, is a prisoner in the Presidio, while the members of his staff, among them Col onel Qulnones, his chief lieutenant in the field, are behind the walls of Fort Cabanas. Reaching Havana in a military train which was under the command of Sec retary of the Interior Hevia, the mem bers of the party presented a rather pathetic appearance, as they alighted from the train at the Quinta de los Molinos station, instead of going as had been expected, to the • terminal station where thousands of spectators had gathered to witness their arrival. Gomez was the first to step from the train. He was dressed in khaki with a white handkerchief about his neck and appeared very tired. Caught between the fires in battle, which resulted in Gomez' downfall, the rebels suffered heavy losses. Their dead and wounded are estimated at upward of 300, while 280 were made prisoners.
