Tha mninritv and minority reports of the resolution proposing an investiga tion of the Pinkerton system will prob ably be soon made to the House. The majority report will be adverse, but the rmmlutinn Is to so on the calendar, and the Alliance members will strive to get it before the House so soon as poesiuie Rntirescntatlve Rvan has asked the limine Committee on Appropriations to urant a hHHrinir to the committee from the Grand Army Posts of Nebraska, who are in opposition to the appropriation of t M . MM) lor tne enwruuuiuem m mnrn hem of tho Grand Armv at the en campinent at Washington. The hearing will oe accorded. Havaml Senators have been notified by tl.a K..niil (Vim mere Committee that they need not expect any increase in tne river and harbor bill at this session. This is not the case so far as the Wash- ltiirtm Hermtors are concerned. AS tney were invited to present the needs of their Htui in tba committee, it is thought in the committee Washington has not been verv well treated In the present bin Tliratll Iw no annointnient made fr the Supreme Court to fill the va- cancy caused bv the death of Justice llradlev until December.

It is said the report received from the different countries satisfied the President of the advisability of an international confer ence. He haa practically decided to take the Initiative in the matter, and it is understood that he will toon send a spe cial message to Congress transmitting the correspondence on the subject. The House Committee on Foreign Af fairs has taken action looking to a fur ther enlargement of the reciprocity pol icy recently entered upon on an exten sive seal by the United States. This time it is the Republic of Mexico with which It is proposed to enter into closer commercial relations. The committee's recommendation is accompanied by a joint resolution and an interesting re port, in which are exhibited the benefits to result to each country from reciprocal trade relations in certain commodities. The resolution, the pa-wage of which the committee recommends, provides for a joint reciprocity commixHion on the part of Mexico and the United States, re quest the President to invite the gov ernment of the Republic of Mexico to denote three commissioners, who shall meet three commissioners designated by the President oi the United States and negotiate a treaty whereby greater rec iprocity in the commercial relations be tween Mexico and the United States shall beet be established. The President not to appoint the commissioner on the part oi the United State until Mex ico ha signified ber willingness to en ter into such a treaty and has appointed her commissioner. The report suggests that th concessions on our part which will probably tie ot mutual advantage would be the removal of duty on lead or in th admiaaion of wool free of duty.

LD BT ALL BBC6jlT AMO tiBOCEBB, THE FARM AND GARDEN Large Nostrils in Animals Indicate Lots of Lung Power. LET THE HOGS ROOT IN THE MANURE. Wheat, Bran or Mill Feed Good for Sows- Do Not Keep Store Pigs Wl'h Ones to be Fattened. Wheat middling is one of the best feeds to give the suckling bows and the growing pigs. Do not feed the cow beet too plenti- fullv. They are depressing on the kid ney's, promoting too frequent and too proluse urinating. A pig is never too young to have a full feed. Keep him always fat, and when the market is favorable ; but never hold for a favorable market alter he reaches 200 pounds weight. Larue nostrils in an animal mean lots of lung power and free use of it. Thin also means purer oiooa ana more virauty and vigor. While the horse and ox should always have large nostrils, other animals are better for having them. Do not keen the store pigs along with those that are to be fattened. They want different food and in ilitlerent amounts. And do not keep large and small breed iiii? sows together, as the small ones get crowded at the trough and in the sleep ing pen. If there has been a horse or other an imal in the stable that there was reason to suspect of having any contagious dis ease, get a pint of sulphuric acid and put in a bucket of water; then take a mop or broom and thoroughly scrub the mangers, walls and floors until well wet with it. This will destroy the virus. It is said that 100 pounds of heavy wool contains five pounds of sulphur. A little sulphur in the fond of the sheep is therefore very good, but when fed in too large quantities it causes sweating and increases the liability to take cold, be sides often causing the shedding of the wool, which is partly due to the undue heat of the surface of the body. Is there a cowy odor in the milk some times? Yes, and it generally comes from cow manure in the milk, put in there bodily, either from falling oft' the cow's flanks or thighs, switched from the tail or rubbed off the teats by the milker, too lazy or indifferent to wash them. If the cow is kept aa clean in winter as she is in summer, we would hear no more complaint of the cowy odor in the milk at one season than at the other. If a lamb has been on the down grade while still on the pasture, with freedom and fresh air, how much worse it ia likely to be when brought into a flock and penned up, breathing the fetid air of a crowded sheephouse, writes the ed itor of the Sheep Breeder. An unlimited supply of fresh air will work wonders in keeping a sheep np and enabling it to make head against disease; but foul air and the insufficient nourishment, which results from its being crowded 'aside by stronger sheep, will carry it down rapid ly unless it is separated and given an extra chance with others of its sort. Half-bred males looking like the full bred father seldom transmit anything of the parent stock to their offspring except the color and shape. If the butter making or milk-producing.quulities are reproduced, it will neunlly be in some auimal that does not look like the thor oughbred stock. The desired quality will more frequently reappear in the third generation, which accounts for the occasional improvements in dairy stock from using grade bulls, but it does not come soon enough or often enough to make it profitable to use them, when thoroughbreds can be bought as cheaply as they can now. Prof. Wood of Storr' station, Conn., sayB: "Nearly one-fourth of the dairy cows are kept at a loss, while one-third are kept without profit. This makes one-third of the money invested dead capital. In the winter with the best cows and good feeding about two-third of the food is consumed in supporting life. The profit comes from the other third. Breed is important in a cow, but is not everything. With good feeding a slight profit is received. Add one-eighth more and the profit is doubled. Judi cious feeding does not shorten the life of a cow. Give a variety of food. Legu minous foods, as peas, clover, etc., not only benefit cattle, hut the land." A feed that tends mainly to making fat is unsnited for. breeding sows at any time. During the period of gestation the fietus gets its nourishment from the dam, and is dependent upon the feed she takes. It should be mainly of the kind that produces large quantity rather than very rich milk. Wheat, bran or mill feed is the best, and if the bow ia yonng and growing.add oats to this rather than corn. This will make vigorous, straight-backed and long-bodied pigs even from a young sow. When the dam is full grown, the fine middling feed with a little milk and warm dish water will be better than heavier feeding. It is no damage to the manure to have the hogs rooting it over, if it is not drawn out upon the fields about as fast as made. Neither is it any injury to the breeding stock to have them do so. They will be more vigorous and have stronger pigs if they have exercise, and it is well to en courage them to work by scattering a little corn among the manure before it goes into the barn cellar. But, while they can work in the manure heap near ly all day, they should not Bleep in iU The heating pile beneath them ia prob ably warm, and they choose it for that and not for the sake of the filth, but such a heat upon one side, while the other is cold, cannot be wholesome. Pro vide a warm pen with an abundance of bedding in it for them to lie down upon when tired of working, and they will soon show that they seek the bed for comfort. If they do not, driving them in a few times will convince them that their own nest is the place for them. Raw roots are qnite as good as cooked root for them, as the cooked roots are too watery. If cooked, all th water should be drained ofT and then bran or oatmeal mixed with the warm root when mashed up. Keen them in good growing condition, but do not get them too fat. rOYCTIPlTinv ivnir rtTinv
