Washington, March 1.-The senate
turned from the stirring theme of
Cuba to the commonplace %apprOpria-
ton bills, giving the entire day to the
postoffice bill. There was a some
what sensational diversion when Mr..
Dubois of Idaho made a statement
warning his former associates that
they could not control the next senate
and that the silver Republicans would
never cooperate with them while they
chung to the single gold standard. The
debate on the ~postoftice bin vas main
ly Oh the question of an investigation
into the cost of carrying the mails on
tho railroads II brought ont much
criticism OF the alleged e~xtrayagant
charges for this mail carriage. An
amendment by Mr.. Butler pop, n. CD
vas accepted providing that no more
shall De paid to railroad companies
than Is paid to them by express COM
panies. Mr.. Buffers motion To strike
out the appropriation of $196.OOO for
special mail facilities from New York
to New Orleans was ioSt-41 to Sand

sundry civil appropriation bill was
taken UP and an agreement was made
to take a ecess TO 3 o'clock Sunday

A sunday session.
The usual Sunday quiet of the capi-
toll building was disturbed by a SEES
sion OF the senate made necessary to
pass appropriation bills. The sundry

sideration, a number Of important

harbor items next were considered.
most Of the committee amendments

amendment to the sundry civil apprO-
priation bill c~ounteracting the presi-
dents recent order withdrawing 81
000,G00 acres of land from the public
domain and establishing it as forest
reserves. The bill was finally passed.
The house, after five hours struggle,
passed the anti-railroad ticket scalping
bill by a vote of 142 to 81. The ad-
ycrsagieS of the measure resorted to
filibustering tactics, but they were de
feated. Under suspension of the rules

Handling ana reedins Fodder.

8N0 A9O
Corn fodder is taking such a promi-
nent place among u rough feeds that
the greatest effort should be put forth
in trying to discover and bring into
general use the best ways Of handling
and most economical methods Of feed
ing 1t. A few years ago but little TOD
der was handled, but since the hay
crop has become so uncertain almost
every farmer has learned, perhaps by
using a small amount at first, and IN
~creasing. that II Is one OF the best OF
the rough feeds for horses, cattle and
sheep. 1t has been accurately deter
mined by experimenters that the food
value Of an acre of corn fodder II
properly handled is as great as rnar or
an acre of hay. A thing to be won
dered at Is the careless way with
which many farmers handle and feed
1t. II the user Of fodder realized what
is lost by allowing 1t to stand in the
field for half the winter or more or by
hauling 1t to the barn and stacking 1t
poorly. he would certainly change his
methods and use some of the care that
is exercised In the handling Of hay.
Some contend that by making large
shocks fodder can remain without and
suffer but little, however In the largest
Of standing shocks there Is a .otai loss
of a considerable amount, while the
greater part of the shock Is injured.
Fallen shocks often become wet and
rotten. wholly uniting them for feed.
Fodder should be hauled as soon after
it is dry as possible and either put un-
der cover or stacked without. Use OK
the shredder or threshing machine
makes cover very necessary, while
whole fodder can be stacked and fed
with but little loss. A good way to DO
IL a little barn room can be had. Is 10
make small stacks and when n Is
opened move it into the barn and use
from there as needed. Through the
northern part OF the state threshing
machines are quite generally USED III
preparing fodder for feed. The IN
husked shocks are run through the ma
chine. which shreds the fodder in Good
shape. shells the corr and cleans ie
fairly well-not usually enough TOT
selling. but so there is no objection TO
il for feed. We find this a very good
method of preparing shocked corn Tor
feed. In building : stack OF whoie
fodder see that in placing the bundles
The middle is kept high enough to IN
sure the stocks having q good pitcn
after the stack has settled. In stack
ing shredded fodder the same rule Oh
keeping the middle full should be OBJ
served, and as an extra precaution, the
top Of the stack should be we'll COW
cred with wild hay or straw. Fodder
either shredded or whole, that is used
outside of the barn, should be fed In
racks and never scattered about on the
ground. as there Is not only much
trampled and left untouched. but h
food value of a great deal Of that eaten
Is impaired. A horse or cow will not
derive the same good from fodder that
is wet and covered with dirt as 1t will
from clean dry feed. A rack that is
easily and cheaply built and one that
answers the purpose very well, IS
made by driving posts about two feet
and a half from the fence or side or
the shed and boiling poles to them.

The Grout Bill.

The Grout bill has passed the ma
tional house of representatives by a
vote OF 126 to SO. The bill says that
all articles known as oleomargarine,
butterine, imitation butter, or cheese
not made exclusively OF pure, unadul-
terated milk or cream, upon arrival
within the limits of a state or territory
shall be subject to the operation and
effect OF the laws of such state or ter
such articles had been produced in the
state or territory, and shall not be ex-
empt by reason of being introduced
ir original packages or otherwise.
This bill should pass the senate and
become a law. 1t is unjust that the
merchants should be able to force a
prohibited article into any state just be-
cause it is in an Original package"
The law of a state may prohibit the
sale Of articles by its own citizens and
yet allow citizens OF another state to
sell the prohibited articles. This is
unjust. Every state should be given
the W to regulate its own police

more sweeping. One Of the represen-
tatiYes from Illinois opposed the bill.
and his remarks drew from Mr.. Hen
derson Of iowa an indignant protest.
''The opposition to this BILL" said he,
with great emphasis, comes from the
capitalized institutions In Chicago and
Kansas City. 1t comes from men like
Armour and Swift. who are destroying
the great cattle interests Of my state
and other states by keeping down the
price OF beeves and keeping up the
price of beefsteak."
