NEW TARIFF BILL.

SENATOR VESTS PROPOSITIONS
The Measure Now Unlike Itself In ANY

WASHINGTON. d. c.. May 7.-Durins

presented the amendments to the tariff bill.
which have been considered and agreed
to by the Democratic senator's known as
the Compromise Committee. There are
over 400 OF them. and 1t makes new
bill. or a measure greatly differing from
the Wilson bill. and from the Senate bill in
any form I'm which 1t has been presented.
The amendments heretofore presented by
Senator Vest and reported from the
Finance Committee are endorsed by the
Compromise Committee. There is a gene
raj increase in the bill, and in some
schedules the increases are very marked.
Many OF the changes are unimportant.
and consist OF restoration of House
duties which the Senate had decreased.
number ,of articles have been taken
from among the free list. chief among
these being the great products.
Probably as the result Of the criticism
that the bill has been drawn on sectional
lines, the committee has reduced the duty
on rice. Another exceedingly important
amendment Is that relative to leaf to-
bacco, in which there is a very material
increase In the rates Of duty. The chemi-
cal schedule, against which the Republi-
cans have levelled some of their aglments,
has been reconstructed in many particu-
lars, and here as In the other schedules,
change Is noted from ad valorem to spe-
cific duties. to say nothing of the increase
In the rates. The glass schedule has been
overhauled and the changes demanded by
the manufacturers have been made, some
of them not so much In the nature of
increases as in the way of reclassification
and the equalization OF duties. The ru-
mors that have been floating about for
some days Of a mysterious influence at

schedules appear TO have had some
ground, for the changes I'm these lines
have been numerous and In some cases

ments. for there was not an increase I'm

Met Again But Did Not Fight.

For repeating to General Butler,
then in command of the Army of the
James, disparaging remark made by
subordinate concerning the Generals
military efficiency, an officer in a
Pennsylvania regiment was promised
a sound thrashing by the officer whom
he had reported, and who, in conse-
quence, had suffered a bad quarter OF
an hour in the Generals society. The
thrashing was to be bestowed after the
war was over, at their very first meet
ing, no matter under what circum-
stances it might occur.
The two officers became prominent
civilians in adjoining States. For
many years one of them went armed
with revolver; the other with a
blank bail bond. Though often in
this city (where one of them resided)
at the same time, they never met I'M
til last Saturday, and then they en-
countered each other face to face in
the surf at Atlantic City. Each had
grown Sc stout as to weigh over $50
pounds, yet they instantly recognized
each other. Something ludicrous in
the thought of such vast spheres of
flesh engaged in a rough-and-tu
fight may have entered their minds at
the same moment, for they called
each other by name, smiled, and
shook hands. The feud was thus ter
minated. Philadelphia Record.

hind teats on the side next to him,
and having emptied one chamber OF
the cows vessel, should then proceed
with the other. This is not, however,
the general practice. 1t is customary,
I believe, to operate on the teats OF
different chambers simultaneously, on
the ground that the method of pro-
cedure preserves the natural state of
udder, whereas such contention is
quite contrary to fact. am fully per-
suaded that the methed of milking
according this notion-is mainly re-
sponsible for much of the malforma-
ton in the udder of so many COWS.
This, of course, is great evil, as it
detracts from the appearance of the
animals and lowers their money value
when offered for sale.

A HORSE THAT DROPS HIS FOOD.

When horse slobbers when eating,
and drops the food when it is partly
chewed the cause is in the teeth. The
teeth of any animal are subject to all
the wear and tear that our own teeth
are, and more especially when the
animals pasture on sandy land, as the
sand on the herbage grinds the teeth
very fast. Besides, the condition of
health has much to do with the teeth,
and they will become sore or decayed
when the health is not good. The
remedy is to examine the teeth, and
if any have broken and left sharp
edges or are decayed, the mouth is
inhamed and sore, they should be at
tended to. In the former case, the
teeth must be made smooth with a
rasp made for the purpose, and that
may be procured at the tool stores or
the harness-maker' s. In the other
case, tne teeun muSt DC eAlrdcteu VI
otherwise treated by veterinarian.
or in many cases some cooling laxative
medicine will remove the trouble, the
most appropriate being EPSON salts
in one pound dose, one given three
days after the other. Soft food, as
cut hay and meal, wetted, with mash
es, will be required until the teeth are
in good condition. - American Farm

PROFITABLE CEREAL CROPS.

AS result of five years continu-
Gus culture of wheat and oats, eight
trials of wheat and twenty-one of corn,
on soils varying widely in character,
the Ohio Station has reached the con-
clusion that at present prices OF cereal
crops and of fertilizing materials re-
pectively, the profitable production OF
corn, wheat and oats upon chemical
or commercial fertilizers or upon barn
yard manure, if its costs be proper
tionate to that of the chemical constit-
uents of fertility found in commercial
fertilizers, is hopeless undertaking
unless these crops be grown IN sys-
tematic rotation with clover or sim
liar nitrogen-storing crop; and the
poorer the soil in natural fertility the
smaller the probability of profitable
crop production by means of artificial
fertilizers.

A Singular Wound.

Mr.. Selous, author of Gravel and
Adventure in Southeast Africa" was
on horseback in pursuit of an eland.
He turned to look behind him, and as
he brought his head round again re-
ceived fearful blow in the right eye
from the tip of dead branch. He
bled freely and as he says, felt pretty
SICK" but he could still see the splen-
did bull trotting before him, some two
hundred yards in advance on the other
side of the river. The sight kept up
his spirits. He got his horse across
the river, and kept on after the bull.
81 felt very sick, he repeats. "but
as our camp was only two miles off,
and the Gland was going straight to it,
determined to try and get him."
The eland kept on steadily till he
was within five hundred yards of the
camp. Then apparently he winded
something, and stopped. Mr.. Selous
felt that he should soon faint, and 80,
looking at the eland with his left eye,
he raised his rifle and sent bullet
through its lungs Then he remount-
ed and galloped into camp.
Some of the men went out after the
eland, and the others attended to Mr..
Selous. He soon became half-uncon-
scious, and withal his symptoms were
so alarming that boys were sent after

ing rhinoceros days journey away.
He left his sport, and under his
skilful ministrations Mr.. Selous's
wound healed, though it was more
than a month before he could see we'll
with his right eye. Even then the
wound opened again from time to
time.
The next year Mr.. Selous returned
to England, and one morning
while walking down Bond street, Lon
don, was seized with fit of sneezing.
''You have taken cold" said the
! friend who was with him.
Mr.. Selons said no, and presently

ducts into the back of his mouth. He
! spat it out into his hand, and it proved
to be piece of hard African wood,
the end of the dry branch which,

better article than the market con-
tains, he will not only secure good
price therefor, but the market will
seek him the next season. The amount

and poor animals shipped to the large
cities is enormous, and prices fall be-
cause such articles cannot be sold.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Wax or bush sorts of beans must be
planted repeatedly to have success
sion.
A little shade during hot days will
pay enormously if over stock Of any
kind.
Not more than four good melon
plants should be left to each hill.
Keep the ground we'll cultivated about
them.
A little grain in addition to the lit
tie pasturage some stock get these
days will help great deal in keeping
up the flesh
An Iowa stock grower says that the
"keynote of profitable stock growing
and farming can be summed up in one
word--clover.
Ohio farmers have been investing
heavily in special variety of onions,
and find themselves raising a superior
crop of jimson weeds.
An animal that cannot yield profit
has no place on the farm the more a
farmer keeps of such the sooner he
will mortgage the farm.
Do not let the steers begin to "fail
a little" during hot days. Keep push
ing them right along till the corn
comes for their finishing off
The man that can improve his stock
without introducing new blood, proves
himself worthy of using the best thor
oughbreds that money can buy.
If you have not made provision for
a crop to cut green. it is not too late
yet to prepare for drouth. Corn,
oats, clover, spring rye and such crops
are good.
Tobacco dust, freely applied, will
drive away the flee beetle, slug, green
worm or the maggot and cut worms
from cabbage plants you have set for
winter use.
For potato bugs, spray with mix
ture of from four to six ounces of
Paris green to fifty gallons of water
to which has been added pint of
glucose or syrup.
Celery plants will need hoeing and
perhaps an occasional thorough wat
ering. Prepare the ground for the
fall and winter crops. Set plant five
inches apart in the rows.
The first time man ever plants a
flower garden you can't persuade him
for while that the florist hasn't
swindled him by selling him the germ
materials for lot of weeds.
The disease known as club root in
cabbage is always the result of grow
ing them on the same ground in sue
cession. 1t is also the most prevalent
on land which is deficient in time.
The earliest strawberry runners
taken up carefully and set in new
bed will give fair crop of fruit the
next season, especially if attended to
and encouraged to grow after they
have been set out.
The hog that runs in clover field
or blue grass pasture waits on himself
and makes at least healthy growth il
not very fast one. A little grain
given in connection with good pastur-
age will help to increase the growth
materially.
Turnips may be sown any time be-
fore the tenth of August. They should
