Peace When Havana Falls.

Washington, July 19.-The naval
war board, consisting of Secretary
Long, Admiral Sicard, Captain Ma
han and Commodore Crowninshield,
was in conference with the president
today.
The conference with the president
lasted more than an hour, and on
leaving the white house Secretary
Long said that only matters of detail
we're under discussion. No News of
imnortance had been received from
anv source. He said that nothing
bearing upon the question of peace
had been received from Spain, either
directly or Indirectly.
From other sources it is learned
that the government does not look
for peace overtures for some time to
come, and probably not before the
fall of Havana AS it is understood
20 be the policy of the president te
uostpone the Havana campaign unit
next autumn, the belief exists il

iarde will put off the inevitable unit

Who PAYS for the stamps2

Assistant Attorney General Boyd
has decided. in accordance with The
Worlds contention. that the law inn
posing a stamp tax on bills of lading
was clearly intended as a tax upon
the carrier and not upon the ship
per.
He rules that the railroads and ex-
press companies must themselves
provide, pay for affix and cancel the
required stamps.
he further suggests to shippers
that any common carrier who re-
fuses to receive goods for shipment
under this rule is law-breag er and
liable in damages to the injured per
son.
The law of common carriers is
very rigid and thoroughly settled.
They have no right to refuse any
freight legally offered, and this de-
cision renders il certain that they
cannot refuse freight because the
shipper declines to stamp the bills OF
lading. 1t is the duty of the carrier
to do that.
The same rule clearly applies tC
telegraph messages. 1t is the duty
of the telegraph company, not of the
sender to stamp them. Congress In
tended to put some of the war taxet
on rich corporations. They shoulC
not be permitted to shift them.-

PoINTs ABOUT HEIFERs

How to Develop Them Into what
They should BE.
The heifer is the mother of the dairy
cow, and the heifer will be what her an
tecedents and your care make her. It'll
too late to look after the antecedents of
the calves already born, but not too late
to keep them in growing condition,
and growing into what they ought to
be. II designed for beef, says writer
in New York Produce Review, feed
freely with corn; if designed for the
dairy, oats are most excellent food.
They will not be so fat as they would
If fed on corn, but fatness is not what is
desired in dairy animal. On the con,
trary, it is something to steer clear
OF. II you teach the heifer to fatten
she will not depart from the habit when
she is a COW. If you want her to excel
at the pail give her food that is rich
in muscle-making elements rather than
fattening food. Skim milk is good
for dairy heifer up to several months
OF age, and when she is weaned from
milk oats will serve an excellent pur-
pose. In truth, oats should be fed be7
fore the diet of skim milk is withdrawn.
1t is far from impossible to ruin heifer
so far as milk production goes by feed
ing too much rich food, and it is possi-
bic to hurt her seriously by withhold
ing a sufficiency of food. OF the two
evils too much food is worse than too
little, but it is less liable to occur, for
where one is injured by too much food,
probably 100 are injured by too little,
and it is a safe guess to make that at
least half of the heifer calves are ted
too much like steers for them ever to
make the best kind of cows. Choose
corn and timothy hay for the steers,
and oats and clover hay for the heifers.
In feeding hay, early cut hay for heifers
and later cut for steers is in the right
line.
