Senate to Vote on Puerto Rico Bills
Next Tuesday.
Washington, Mach 29.-The senate
yesterday agreed to vote on the Puerto
Rico government and tariff bill next
Tuesday afternoon at A o'clock. An
important utterance was made later in
the day on the bill by Mr.. Davis
(Minn), who advocated free trade be-
tween the United States and Puerto
Rico. Mr.. Davis principal proposition
was that the necessary money to be
raised by taxation should not be raised
by duty levied upon Puerto Rican
products, but by an internal revenue
tax levied upon rum and tobacco pro-
duced on the island. This system he
thought would better suit the people of
the United States and those of Puerto
Rico than the proposed tariff and
would be just, equitable and constitu-
tional The amendment offered by Mr..
Carter to the Alaskan civil code bill
relating to the mining for gold under
the waters of Cape Nome was agreedto.
The house devoted practically the
whole day to consideration of the army
appropriation bill. Several minor
amendments were adopted and about
half the bill was considered. There
was a good deal of extemporaneous de-
bate during the day, little of which
was pertinent to the bill. Mr.. Briggs
IN W created a diversion by charg-
ing reckless extravaganza in the fit
ting up of the transport Sumner and
precipitated a lively tilt upon the sub
ject. He gave notice that later he
should ask the house to investigate the
subiect

.HH4NFI7VIAHzRlNN1vZ1Mz3 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Shall Worm Eaten Naples lie Tapped?
This question is being asked so fire.
quently and so earnestly that the follow
ing opinion is given In reply by the YER
mont experiment station Whether or
not to tap will depend upon circum-
stances of which the sugar maker Is the
best Judge. His decision should be in
fluenced by the following considerations.
The sugar is the reserve food of the tree
stored last season to feed the buds this
coming spring. The amount of sugar
taken from an ordinary maple tree by
tapping is from two to four per cent of
its total sugar content. This is so small
a fraction as usually to cause no appre-
ciable loss to the tree. But if the tree
had been 80 badly eaten 10y worms dur
ing the past seasons as to have its life
endangered, it might be undesirable to
make even this small drain which would
somewhat decrease the chances of life
for he tree. It is to be remembered,
however. in this connection that all of
the stored sugar Was manufactured in
the green leaves last season. Now if
those leaves were eaten by the worms
there would be prUp0rtiOnately less sugar
in the sap, and in case the damage to the
foliage was really serious the sap Will be
of so low quality rs regards sugar con-
tent that it will not pay to tap the trees
in any case. On he other hand, if there
is enough sugar present to make tapping
profitable, then there is enough so that
the removal Of the two to four per cent
will not appreciably affect the tree. 1t
is believed. theref fore. that the safest way
for one who is in doubt il to determine
the quality Of the sap from his trees,
selecting several representative trees and
/ taking samples from these before tap
ping the remainder. If the sap is of
good quality he may safely tap. If,
however. it is of poor quality-that is,
deficient in sugar-lt will be both un-
safe and Improbable to tap. The di-
rections may be terSely put thus: Tap
if thee is sugar enough to make it pay
to do so.
