MAY NOT BE TILL AUGUST
That tho DemocrAts Wtu Let the Tsrin
Bill Pass the Senate.


Washington. April es.-The Democra-
tic members of the senate finance COM
mittee today followed up their refusal OF
yesterday ta allow the tariff bill to be
announcement that they would expect
to be given opportunity for thorough
examination Of all the schedules of the
bill as amended before 1t rs reported to
the senate. They have already employ
ed one expert and will employ others to
take up the bill In their behalf as soon
as 1t Is presented to them. They expect
ed to be able to examine the bill sufii-
GENTLY to permit 1t to go to the senate
In about two weeks time after they re-
celve it.
There has been some talk among the
Democratic senators of granting hear
ings by the full committee. but this
proposition does not appear to have met
with general favor. The Democratic
members Of tle committee fear that in
sistance upon this course would be con-
s.rued into determination to delay the
bill, which. they Insist. Is no part of their
program. r
The decision OF the Democratic mem
bers may have the effect OF causing a
postponement of the presentation of tha
bill on Thursday. Some of the Republi-
can committeeman now say that they
may not conclude their work before
Monday morning, as there are stiii vari-
Gus matters which are not definitely de-
cided and which 1t becomes absolutely
necessary to fix before going into the full
committee. They are still working with
the hopes Of presenting the bill Thurs
day. but are less hopeful than formerly.
The Republicans think they discover in
the present attitude Of their Democratic
colleagues disposition to delay the pas
sage of the bill. which they had not pre-
viously counted upon, and are making
their preparations for long siege in the
senate as well as In COMMITTEES. Some OF
them express the fear that the bill will
not become law before the first of Au'
gust. 3t

PURCHASING A HORSE.

II you want to buy IL horse don't be-
lieve your own brother. Take no mans

Horseshoer's Journal. Your eye is youi

Unhitch him. and take everything off
but the halter, and lead him around.
If lie has any failing you can see it. Let
him go himself Il way. and If he walks
right into ANYTHING you know he is
blind. No matter how clear and bright
his eyes are, he can't see any more than
bat. Back him. too.
Some horses show their weakness or
tricks in that way. when they don't in
any other Nut. be as smart us you can,
you'll get caught sometimes. Even the
experts get stuck. 4 horse may look
ever so nice unh go a great pace. and
yet, have fits. There isn't man who
could tell it until something happens.
Or he may have a weak back. Give him
the whip and of he goes for mile or
two. then all of sudden he stops on the
road. After a rest he starts again, but
lie soon stops for good. and nothing
but derrick can start him.
The weak points about horse can
better be discovered while standing
than while moving. If lie is sound, he
will stand firmly and squarely on his
limbs without moving them. with legs
plumb and naturally poised; or II the

burned under the boiler used to sup

known quantity Of corn was noted !
The test lasted 9A hours, and 5,23A
pounds of corn and cob were consuIned-
The next day the same boiler was heut4
ed with screened Rock Springs nut coal,
and the amount Of water evaporatcd
was recorded.
The data thus obtained show that
one pound of coal evaporated 10 timex
as much water as one pound of corn
In other words, 10 times as much heat
was liberated in burning one pound
of coal as in burning one pound of cornl
Several calorimeter tests were mad@
which agreed very closely with these
results.
The coal used cost at Lincoln $6.6a
per ton. With coal selling at this price,
end worth 10 times as much for fuel
as an equal weight of corn, the fuel
value of the latter would be $3.50 pei

An excellent plan for keeping large

ture land can thus be utilized. Several
hundred hens can thus be given free

being half supplied by themselves, and

be given to yarded fowls thus removed

1t will thus be seen that II this quail
ity of coal were selling at less than
$3.50 and corn were bringing 12 cents,
it would not pay to burn corn, whilo
coal must sell as low as SAL per ton
to be as cheap fuel as corn at ten cents
