Feeding Potatoes.

For dairy stock it is doubtful when
foods arc as cheap as they are at pres
emf, whether it would pay to feed very
large quantities of potatoes, because
dairy ration necessarily requires more
protein than fattening ration. Pota-
toes cannot be fed to young animals
as safely as to more mature ones. Ii
fed in too large quantities they have a
tendency to prematurely fatten the
animal aud build up a lighter frame
work. With more mature animals,
when the fattening period is largely a
period Of the addition of fat TO the
body, the potatoes can then be fed to
advantage, and more economically.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE anti-silver

situation of the tariff bill In the senate
committee on finance. Friends of the
tariff bill on the committee are unable
to report the bill without the co-opera-
ton Of Senator Jones of Nevada. 1t is
given out that he will not agree to re-
port the bill without an amendment for
n duty on sugar. but his real motive is
to hold the bill until it can be de-
termined what will be done in the
Senate with the silver substitute for
the bond bill.
He stands With Senator Stewart and
other silver Republicans In the de-
termination to prevent the presentation
of the tariff as the sole issue In the
next campaign, and will help to hold

DISCUSSING REEDS RULES.

A scheme to Shut on tho Currency Com.
mittce's Reports.
Washington. Jan. 1.-THE House
gave its time yesterday to discussion
Of the proposed amendments Of the
rules Of the Fifty-FIrst Congress, which
we're professionally adopted early in
the session to govern this House. Two
interesting discussions relieved the mo-
notony of the technical debate. Ono
was preclpitated by Mr.. Walker Of
Massachusetts,, chairman Of the Bank
Ing and Currency committee, who made
fight against the proposition to drop
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency from the list of committees priv
ileged to report bills to the House at
any time. A partisan debate resulted,
In which Mr.. Walker was supported by
the Democrats and Republican con-
tingent which included many free Sill
yer men. Mr.. Walker failed to carry
his point.
Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa inspired the
second discussion by an amendment to
direct the speaker to recognize any
member who addressed him when nc
! dher member was on the floor and
spske against the growing power given
by the rules to the speaker. He with
drew his Proposition, however, after q
speech by Mr. Bell of Colorado, who
claimed that n would secure for the
Populist members the recognition Of
which he claimed they were deprived
