THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Tho senate has divided its time
tin WP'-k hftwpw the Philippines
revenno bill and Senator Nelson's
bill providing for the establishment
of ft department of co nitiierco in ac
cordance with the recommendations
contained in the president 's message.
The majority of the Philippines
committee still 1m vo the floor on tho
revenue hill and as soon ns thpy
have concluded thpir argument Hip
minority report will be tiikpn up
nml chnnipioneil by the democratic
side of the chamber. White no ac
tual progress rnn be reported on tho
Nelson bill a but tar understanding
of its provisions is being arrived nt
and the way paved for its ultimate
passage.
Senator Hinsbrongh of North Da
kota is working assiduously for the
irrigation, bill, the provisions" of
which were agreed upon by tho in
formal "committee of seventeen."
In reply to tny question as to how
he mot tho argument that govern,
ment irrigation would simply result
in bringing more larrtl into competi
tion with eastern farmers and tend
to lower the prices of their products
the senator made the following
statement:
"The settlement of tho humid and
sub-humid public lands during the
past decade has proceeded at the
rate of eight to fifteen million acres
per year and an examination of the
prices of farm products will show
there has been no depreciation in
values; on the contrary, the aver
age price of farm products for last
December was higher than for any
similar period during the decade
and this, notwithstanding the fact,
that there were disposed of and set
tled U)on during 1900 and 1901 over
twenty-five million acres of public
lands.
"Now then, according to the most
liberal estimate there is not suffi
cient water in the arid and sub-arid
regions to irrigate over fifty or sixty
million acres. Under the provi
si on s of my bill the limit of expend
iture is based upon the proceeds of
sales from public lands which last
year did not exceed $3,000,000 not.
Assuming the proceeds from the
sale of public lands to amount to
$5,000,000 per annum and the cost of
constructing irrigation works to
amount to $5 por acre it will be seen
that not more than one million
acres would be reclaimod a year,
that it would take fifty or sixty
years to irrigate the land for which
we ca"u obtaip water and that this
gradual reclamation would produce
no effect on the prices of farm prod
ucts. Even with largely lncreasod
proceeds from the sale of public
lands the reclamation would be too
slow to work injury to the eastern
farmers.
"As to the experso, the blil pro
vides that the settlers on land bene
fitted by the irrigation shall pay
pro rata for the cost of constructing
the works, presumably $5 per acre.
It further annuls the commutation
clause of the homestead low in so
far rs irrigated lands are concerned
so that the settlor will be obligod to
actually live on the lund for five
years and so removes the dan
ger of the lands fulling into
the hands of speculators." Senator
Hansborough said he expected soon
to call on the president arid explain
to htm the workings of bin bill
which be felt confident would meet
with Mr. Roosevelt's approval.
The subject of Chinese exclusion
which is before the senate commit
tee on irrigation is attracting con
siderable attention. Ex Secretary
of State John W. Foster has appear
ed before the committee and testi
fied to the effect that the proposed
Mitchell bill was iii vhiUti-m of our
treaty wit!) China. .Mr. Fnv-tcr

"China," he said, "is experiences

labor for many years to coino.

of tho Chinese p mifion but protest
ed his absolute ignorance as to the
author. Ho further expressed, in
very graceful terms, his apprecia

in returning the loot taken in China
by American marines.
To Representative Tuwney of
Minnesota is duo the creditof a very
important amendment to the Henry
bill which is Intended to take the
place of th- Grout bill for the re
nutation of the sale of oleomarga
rine. Mr. Tuwney secured the
insertion of a provision in the bill by
which any person coloring oleomar
garine and selling the Colored
product to anothor will b. regarded
as a, manufacturer and be subject
to the same conditions. Speaking
on tho subject yesterday Mr.
Tavvnov "'ltd :
"I ascertained that it was tho
custom in many places and particu
larly in Denmark for the dealer in
oleomargarine to furnish with each
package a capsule containing color
ing matter. By simply warming the
oleomnrgnrino and adding the color
ing matter it became easy for the
dealer, restaurateur or boarding
house keeper to produce an article
which readily deceived tho consum
er. That being the case I felt that
the dairy interests would not be ad
equately protected without tho addi
tion of the clr.usa you refer to." A
final clause lia9 also been added pro
viding a penalty for the infringe
ment of the law.
The house ways and means com
mittee is Btill hearing the represen
tatives of the sugar and tobacco in
terests and of the Cuban interests
on the subject of reciprocity with
Cuba. Representative McCall of
Massachusetts said yesterday that
he had determined to vote for recip
rocity. That ho had concluded that
reasonable reciprocity would not
prove injurious to American inter
ests and that he believed that the
attainment of Cuban prosperity
would bo a "fitting rounding out of
the noble work which this govern
ment undertook in freeing Cuba."

1 HE FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
It of 'More Interet Than ttual and
Bnttnr Attended.
A number bf fariaers and several
ladies atlend'ed tho institute held
here Monday and by the careful
attention shown and the frequent
questions asked demonstrated that
they were deeply interested in the
topics discussed.
Hon. Thomas J. riiilips of Chester
county talked on the subject of
bringing up worn out or run down
lands. He insisted that tho need
of such soils was humus and the
question was how most speedily and
economically to replace it. His
practice ia to sow crimson clover in
corn nt the last cultivating. This
takes root ami when the corn is cut
grows rapidly and unlocks the
fertility in the noil by making it
soluble plant food. The groat need
of land is humus and where nirinure
cannot be made in sufilceut quantity
to supply it, it becomes necessary to
resort to plowing tin er some green
manure, as clover.
Ho also discussed ensilage and
claimed that good corn ensilage
was the cheapest and best food for
general purposes in stock feeding.
This can be easily supplemented by
n grain ration but it forms the basis
of a cheap feed, and he assorted that
dry stock could be kept in good
growing condition with ensilage at
an expenso of 3 cts. ft day per head.
Ho used large, corn allowing it
to Btand until ears were nicely
formed before cutting. A silo is on
air tight box and any form will
answer if care is taken in filling.
Trof Wells W. iCooko of Wash
ington, D. C, gave an interested
talk on cost of dairy foods, showing
the feeding value por 100 lbs. of
grains, feeds, oil meals, hay and
ensilage, and by chemical tests the
latter was by far the cheapest. He
claimed that the cow after all made
the quality of milk, that it was in the
breed aud not in the feed. The way
to obtain a good dairy was by selec
tion, and be advised that small cows
were more profitable than large
ones. Ho controverted the idea
that feeding ensilage tainted milk.
That, be asserted, came from stable
conditions and milk badly tainted
could be freshened byaerating, a very
simple process. lie urged the use of
separators and said any churn was
good provided it hud no dash or
paddles in it. The churning should
bo done by concussion of the milk,
and by churning cream much un
necessary labor was saved.
J. Q. Atkinson of Montgomery
county was well qualQod by study
and practical exporionco to discuss
the growingof fruits and vegetables.
These are his specialties and to
instance ha has eight acres planted
to asparagus. The 8uu Jose scale
is becoming very destructive and be
warned all that unless prompt
measures wore taken to destroy the
pest in a few years it would kill the
trees. He reoommended spraying
with a compound of 40 lbs. of lime,
30 of sulphur and fifteen of salt,
the two latter being boiled together
and the lime added. This will kill
the scale. Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green is the remedy for cur
rant and gooseberry worms. He
plants strawberry vines every year
and turns the patch under after the
first hearing. Haviland and Gandy
were his favorites. The Marlboro,
Cuthbert and Golden Queen rasp
berries were preferred, aud Lawton
and Wilsons early blackborrios and
the Downing and Red Jacket varie
ties of gooseberries.
A small twig covered with the
San Jose scale was shown and the
speaker said ho saw evidences of its
presence in orchards in this section.
In two or three yeirs after it
attacked a tree the ruin was
wrought if not checked, and he
uryed that the remedy ba promptly
applied before the damage was ir
ruparablo. Tho talks were all practical and
instructive. Farmers were urged
to ntudy their business in all the
details so as to produce the best
results in the most economical
manlier. In that way only can it be
made profitable.
