A HOPELESS MINORITY

to No Avail
Washington. July 20.-The indications
when the senate adjourned today were
that a vote would be reached upon the
conference report on the tariff bill some
time during Thursday, or at the latest
before the close of the week. There may
be change in the condition of the taking
of the vote. The opponents to the bill
realize that there is no possibility of pre-
venting the adoption OF the report and
their present purpose is only TO secure
what advantage they can by exhibiting
what they claim are the Inconsistencies
of the measure. 1t is true that p. one
time they had some hope of being able to
secure the recommittal of the bill, but,
a thorough canvass reveals no founda-
tion for this hope.
s 1t develops the fact that the republicans
will vote solidly for the report and that
they will be supported by Messrs, Jones,

SOME OPINION ABOUT HORSES.

The National Stockman and Farmer
publishes the following opinions about
raising horses. They are given by
farmers: 1t is we'll to raise colts
enough for our own use and besides
have some more coming. 1t takes
more potatoes or oats to buy a horse
than it did a few years ago, and it
costs about as much to raise them now
as then, So it is very essential that
we should have colts coming on each
year, so that we may have horse or
two to sell when they are five or six
years old, as then they are able TO do
any kind of work. l think it pays
better to raise colts that will weigh
from twelve to fifteen hundred. /
buy and sell good many horses dur
ing a year, and find when 1 have
horses of that weight that do not
have to look for market for them as
for driving horses, should not want
them to weigh less than twelve hun
dred. There are plenty of good dri-
vers of that weight. Horses should be
kept in the very best condition into
which you can get them you can keep
them cheaper than by keeping them
thin in flesh. aud they will bring
more in the market. l think that /
can sell my hay and oats at a better
price to feed them to young, sound
horse until he gets in first rate condi-
tion, ana then sell him, than to sell
them to the market for what they will
bring, besides keeping the farm in
guod condition. George w. Auber.
The raising of trotting stock by
farmers is q question OF the Fast.
Percherons and that class of stations
should be used with our best mares,
producing colts that will bring paying
prices when properly cared for and
trained. Five years is about the best
age for marketing colts. At that age,
ii brought up properly, they have re-
turEed their own part of their cost il
work performed, and should be prop
erly trained, developed, and fitted fol
their life work. A horse for genera
farm work should weigh between
twelve and fourteen hundred. Horses
OF that weight cost less for keeping
in proportion to those lighter ol
heavier The feeding OF farm horses
Is a question worthy of much consid
Grafton. The majority feed too mucl
bulky food. Less hay and more con
centrated feed will keep the horse il
better form, better health, and bette
condition to do heavy work, and bt
less expensive. Regularity in fee ling
watering, grooming and bedding
horses is essential to their comfort
and reduces the cost of maintenance
more than little. Care bestowe,
upon our horses, even if they are onl,
farm horses, adds much to their value
and lessons the danger of accident
disease and lost vitality. w. L. Lo

WASN'T TRAINED TO pnINK.

II is lunchtimo on famous transatlantic
"llier," a ship ell-nigh GOO feet long, with
engines of 20,00l horsepower and 1900 voy-
ayers, writes Frances f. Willard In Union
sigma
"Here are your table tickets" said the
steward, and minute later found myself
seated at the captains right hand. The dis.
tinction surprised me, for 1t was usually
given to some famous politician noted CAPT.
talist or society leader. A teetotaler aud
temperance reformer is the last one to be
thus honored, for the captain generally takes
glass Of wine at dinner, and II ho does net
his guests are likely to do so.
Butthis time our captain was a strict total
abstainer. And why not? He was bred in
Maine from tho age OF FIVE, was Good Tenn
plar from his youth, and told me he "had
never known the taste OF liquor In his life.
He was noble specimen OF mankind--oveI
six feet high and well proportioned, weigh.
ing $50 pounds and carrying himself with
gracious dignity.
We talked of his career. He had risen
from "before the mast" until he had now
been for years captain OF u flrst-class "ocean
greyhound" and he told me that he owed
II all to his clean habits. When he first be-
gan to rise, the ship on which he was an Of
ficer put into the port OF San Francisco, and
rs Il was ''a great day" all the men wor,
drinking, the captain leading on and asking
him to celebrate" ~ did not know but Il
would cost me my chance" he told me
''but 1 could not go back upon my training
and said. Captain, never touched n droI
In my life, and / can't begin now" UpoI
this the captain clapped him on the shoulde
and said, "I wish to God that the same wa

posite, saloon; on the corner across the

Recently the governor Of one OF our
county prisons was greatly perplexed
by the discovery that the female crim-
inals in his charge managed in some
mysterious manner to ascertain the
presence OF every individual man on
the other side of the impervioue divid-
ing barrier which separates the male
from the female worshipers in the jail
chapel, says writer in the London
Hospital.
One Of the women inadvertently
made an exclamation showing that
she had suddently become aware that
her husband was within the same
walls, although his presence ought,
according 10 the rule, 10 have been
completely unknown to her. None of
the officers could account for an un-
PERMITTED knowledge, which was found
TO be shared by all other women. At
last very careful examination of the
chapel gave an explanation OF the mys-
terry.
Although strictly divided, as we
have said, both the male and the fe-
male prisoners faced the altar in their
seats, and over IL had been fixed q
very large brass cross against the wall,
so highly polished as to form a very
good mirror, and in its clear surface
the women saw the reflection of every
man as he passed to his place, and
had enjoyed the spectacle with impu-
nifty till the wife's affection overcame
her discretion. The brass GROSS in
stantly disappeared.

COOKED FOOD.

No one disputes the fact that birds
of all species in their wild state take
their food, be it grain, animal or veg
etable in raw state-ln a wild state
for that matter; but our poultry has
been bred so far from their natural
condition, and so much more is re-
quired of them in egg production,
weight of carcass or early maturity,
that they are called upon to live and
work at high pressure, and must have
their wants, abnormal though they be,
supplied in keeping with the require
ments.
One way to do this is to cook part
of their food; this alone adds variety
if we use but one grain and feed part
of it raw and part of it cooked.
Fowls prefer some foods cooked rather
than raw others raw to cooked, and
their preference should be consulted.
Care must be used in feeding cooked
food to laying or breeding stock, as it
is more fattening than raw food. In
cold weather cooked food may be fed
warm and is greatly relished. As
cooked food is more easily digested
than raw, it is best to feed raw grain
ut night, as the time till the morning
feed is longer than between the Other
feelings. Corn is an excellent evening
meal, and in winter it is we'll tc
warm it before feeding.
The simplest way to cook poultry
feed is to boil it. The grains-corn,
wheat, buckwheat, rice-may bt
boiled or steamed. Ii boiled they
should be kept from the bottom of tn,
vessel by means of perforated plate
of sheet iron. Mush may be mad,
from any of the grains ground and fet
when fresh made or cold. fled fresl
be sure it is not too hot. Fowls hav,
died from being fed food that was to-
hot.
Beets, turnips, potatoes, pumpkins
may be boiled, mashed and fine pud
ding made by thickening them will
meal of any kind, bran or middlings
or a mixture OF these. The pudding
will be more civilized if the vegetable
are cleaned before being cooked. =

American Rubbers.

There is big field in Germany for
American rubbers, says United States
Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, in
report to the State Department. Al
present Russia is supplying most OF
the rubbers.worn in Germany, selling
through agencies all over the empire,
but neither the Russian nor the Ger
man made article is as good as the
American product, being clumsy and
lacking in durability, although it
commands the market just now by
reason of its lower price. The Consul
also submits some statistics to show
how Germany is building mp large
trade at England's expense with New
South Wales. He gives a list of the
principal German exports to that col
ony, and says they are not nearly as
good as our own wares, and with the
advantage of cheaper and quicker
freights across the Pacific the United
States should certainly have this trade.
The Germans, however, keep their
goods up to or above sample, pack
them with great care and employ com
petent statesmen speaking several Ian
guages, and thus continue to extend
their trade in all quarters. Circulars
are, in Mr.. Monoghan's opinion, moi
worth the paper they are printed Oh
as means of introducing goods. -

A Moth a Foot Wide.

For the second time the Denton
collection of butterflies and moths is
on exhibition at the American art gal.
leries in New York. Last year this
collection attracted much attention,
and this year it returns nearly dou-
BILE in size, and including lepldoptera
from all parts of the world. In order
to obtain some of these specimens, tie
collectors braved the dangers of ex-
ploration in islands infected by can
nibals and threaded the jungles of
India. One of the notable new speci-
mems is the owl moth of Brazil, which
measures more than foot from wing
tip to wing tip. Unlike the collections
of last year, this collection isssnot for
sale piecemesl. If it is not sold dur
ing the exhibition, which will last
three weeks, Mr.. Denton will take it
to London and exhibit it there. There
are about 1900 specimens, exclusive
of duplicates. Boston Transcript.

anowrNa swEEr cons roR srocK.

There is a popular idea that sweet
corn is richer than common field corn.
In fact, they are chemically just the
same, the carbon in the sweet corn ap-
pearing as sugar and starch, and in the
field corn as starch alone. The sweet
corn is most palatable, therefore
probably most digestible. As the
sweet corn will not yield in either
stalks or grain as much as field corn,
it would seem to be a good plan to
grow field corn for the main feed and
enough sweet corn to use rs a change,
or when the appetite for starchy food
has been cloyed. But oats or wheat
middlings would be better for this
even than would sweet corn. n.-Ameri'

Fonntain Pens Old.

As long ago as 1924 fountain pens
we're in use, for in that year Thomas
Jefferson saw a eontrlyance of this
sort, tried it, and wrote to General
Bernard Peyton, OF Richmond, asking
him 10 get one OF them. The pen was
o. gold and the ink tube OF silver, and
according to Jelferson's letter the
maker was Richmond watch repairel
named Gown. The price, he under
stood, was fyepence. The first
American patent for a fountain per
was granted in 1880, to one Douglass
Hyde, but the earliest English patent
was issued tWenty-one year before.

SALOON KEEPER REsPoNsIRLE.

The Appellate Court OF Indiana has held
that a saloon keeper Is responsible for the
liquor sold to youth who. while under the
influence of such liquor, is killed. The case
came from the Lawrence Circuit Court. In
the trial court Adam johnson sued Thomas
Reath, saloon keeper, for damages sus-
tanned by the loss OF his son. The boy had
become intoxicated by liquor sold by Reath.
The court held that the saloon keeper Is re-
sponsible although the liquor was sold by a
bartender employed by him. The court
held further that it is not necessary that the
father In pleading the loss of support by
such death of his son should be reduced to
pecuniary straits
