Is Not Jealous Advocate of Han-
 na'S Measure
OPPOSITION EXPRESSES PLEASURE

Washington, February 2.-Senator Spoon- CT today authorized the statement that if it should become necessary to do so, he will move the substitution of the oleomargarine bill as the regular order of business in the Senate instead of the pending subsidy bill.
 MT Spencer has never been considered among the jealous advocates of the subsidy bill, and he is very strongly favorable to the oleomargarne bill. It was his original intention to make his motion to substitute early next week but he appears to have changed his mind, for he declined in his authorized statement to name time. He said:
 You can say that some time before tho final adjournment of the 4th of March ! will move to take up the oleomargarine bill regardless of whether or not the sub- sidy bill remains the unfinished business. shall do this because I think the olemars garine bill hould be acted upon during the present session. The bill has passed the House of Representatives, while the ship bill has not. If. the oleomargarine bill passes the Senate it will stand a chance to become law, while the shipping bill, not having passed either house would not have equal chance. 1 cannot say when l shall move in the matter, but l will do so long enough before the 4th of March to give tho Senate time to act upon the oleomargarine bill" i

For nearly % years wild hogs have
been found in southern Arizona, and
their number Is increasing constantly
There is a difference of opinion as Ia
the origin of these animals. One theory
is that some 20 years ago man
sought to establish a colony at the
head of the gulf OF California, and
among one of the industries Of the
colony was pig raising. The colony
failed, however. and the stock of pigs
were turned loose. and In the course
OF time they grew and spread over the
river bottom. On the contrary, the
Indians out there say that the wild
hog has been there as far back as their
traditions reach. These animals grow
very large. feeding on root peculiar
to the valley Of the Colorado river. As
a rule, they go in droves and the hunt
ing Of them is attended with much
danger, as they are incredibly swift,
with a speed of the fastest horse. They
are very powerful, although they are
long, with lean limb and heavy, muscu-
lar joints, resembling the razor
backs" Of the south. Wild hog meat
is of a peculiarly fine flavor, that of
the younger pig being considered SUI
perior to the pork of the domestic
article.

FOR THE FARMER

But few tools are absolutely neces-
sary IL gathering n small ice harvest,
says The American Agriculturist. a
crosscut wood saw with one of the
handles removed viii answer for an
ice saw. An AK and an ice pole are
also needed. The Ice pole has a sharp
metal point on each end, one Of the
points being bent at an acute angle
with the pole, with which to draw the
cakes Of Ice. Horse markers ana cut
tiers are not needed In harvesting a
few tons. The ice should be cut into
squares, even sized blocks, first mark
ing them out from rs to 20 inches by
means of line or board and saving
the cakes along the mark. Ice will not
keep unless sawed fairly even and
packed closely. The second layer of
cakes is placed crosswlse Of the first
layer and so on, thus binding the whole
mass together. Care should be taken
to make the bottom layer level, fitting
the edges of the cakes carefully aud
filling pounded ice between them If
necessary.
Ice may be kept successfully in bin
partitioned off i'm the basement of
barn or other building. The bin should
have double walls. filed with sawdust
or insulating material. and drainage
should be carefully attended to. Ice
may be kept successfully In the form
of n stack. 1t should be made on
shady place where the water will drain
off, supported on a tier of rails to
keep Off the ground. Put brush and
straw upon the rails and set pole in
the center and stack the ice in the
same manner as in the icehOuSe. tax
ing care to pack evenly and not allow
the stack TO get one sided The sides
should be thickly covered with a foot
or more of straw, hay or leaves, held
In place by boards. Where put up as
an additional supply in connection with
the icehouse the stack should be used
early in the season. since II melts rath-
er faster than ice stored in house.

Coursing Is n sport little known or
heard about except 10y very exclusive
cOterle Of fortunate persons, whose
wealth allows them the enjoyment oil
this most exciting Of sporting pastlmes.
In England coursing Is one Of the
most popular Of sports, and II has also
obtained strong fOothold in California
and other western states, but in the
east, owing to the restrictions placed
upon 1t 10y the law, the meets held are
kept as secret ~ possible, and little
about them becomes public.
Lovers of the sport are thoroughly
enthusiastic I'm It's praise. aud notwith-
standing the restrictions put on them
courslng meets are Of quite frequent
occurrence at this time Of the year and
are largely attended.
The sport appears to be especially
attractive to women, many Of whom
are numbered among It's warmest al
mlrers. and who. too. are the owners
Of kennels.
The greyhound. which is exclusively
used for coursing. is considered 10y low
ers OF the sport as the greatest Of all
sporting dogs.
"Once n greyhound lover always n
greyhound lover" one fair enthusiast
remarked AT n recent meet. and HAT
opinion is indOrsed 10y everybody who
has been fortunate enough to see the
game. graceful and sLapely animal in
the "chase."
In England the hare is used rs The
quarry in courslng. but in this country
the western jack rabbit affords grand
substitute In fact the American mr.
ticle has even more speed and, II any
thing. is cleyercr in turning than his
English relative.
The greyhounds are very carefully
trained for their work and are given as
much care and attention as a thorough
bred race horse. Many Of the most IA
nous dogs In this country have been
imported from England and are Of the
highest canine aristocracy. They are
Of high degree. with pedigrees extend
ing back generation after generation.
They show In every line and motion
the results Of years Of careful breeding,
and their bullying muscles. Ike punches
of wire springs, show the development
which can only be attained by months
Of training.
The bursts Of speed the animals put
forth when In action are something
wonderful. They do not seem to touch
the ground at all They simply fly
they scoot, and make only a streak
as they annihllate space.

Feeding Corn smut.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer tells of having a flock Of breed
Ing ewes fed upon full rations Of corn
fodder last winter. Soon some Of them
were taken sick, with symptoms Of pol
soning. They were mOping, unwilling
to eat or to move about drank often
and but little at a time, had some fever
and were soon Frustrated and died.
The excrements were dark cOlOred,
thin, like warm tar. and with a very
offensive odOr. Some Of them aborted
before they died. After seven had died
and others were taken sick he noticed
a eve poking her nose into the pile OF
corn fodder and coming oui with a
mOuthful of smut. Then he found there
was lots of this smut In the fodder, and
he removed it before feeding any more
of the fodder and had no more sick
sheep. BY giving a dessertspoonful Of
epson salts to each of the last two
ewes taken sick he saved one Of them.
Lambs and yearlings not breeding
were not affected by 1t.

1t Is claimed very generally by clover
growers that q field upon which a good
crop of clover Is grown for two success
slve years will when replowed and
planted with corn yield from 10 to %
bushels more corn per acre than it did
before sown to clover or than similar
land by its side will which has not
been thus treated. The percentage
Of increase is quite as large in raising
wheat, oats. potatoes and other crops.
The plant draws nitrogen from the air
and stores 1t in the soil for the use Of
succeeding crops. The roots Of the
clover penetrate to a great depth in the
unplowed subsoil, drawing nutriment
therefrom, assisting In holding mois-
ture, which when the roots die and
decay increase the fertility of the
soil as well as the storing capacity for
moisture and, with its sister, Alfalfa,
has Justly earned the name Of the Isl
lent subsoiler," whose success and eff
ficiency are generally admitted and adj
mired.

A hog likes clover or grass In the
summer and a little cloveroralfalfa hay
in the winter, and If properly used they
are good feeds, promoting growth. but
the Nevada experiment station has
proved that hay alone is not a cheap

weighing about 40 pounds each on
hay for three weeks and reported a
shrinkage Of IS pounds IN that time.

A. 10 Double Henders.

Business Manager Bancroft Of theCin-
cinnati Baseball club Is out with sug-
gestion In regard to the playing rules.
Under any circumstances double header
games are q hardship. At the late sea
son of the year they are not only q det-
riment to the players, but half the time
they cannot be extended to more than
FIVE innings on the second contest,
bringing about rather unsatisfactory
results. In order to obvlate all these
dlsagreeable and unsatisfactory fea-
lures Bancroft suggests that when dou-
BILE header games are played seven In
nings shall constitute a game. This
arrangement would allow Of two games
being played under any circumstances
and would afford each team a good op-
portunity to put forth its full strength
for It Is q fact that 90 per cent Of the
games played are practically decided
before the seventh inning Is over, there
being comparatively few games on rec.
ord In which the team that was behind
at the end of the seventh inning man
aged to win out In the eighth or ninth.
Bancroft also Is the father Of the idea
TO schedule umpires, a scheme that was
started last season with every indica-
ton Of success, but which was aban-
doned through the policy of President
Young In needing oil protests OF the
magnates.

THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION

The superstition in regard
to the number thirteen is
widely spread in Europe, and
in this country there are few
people, if they would own up
to the fact, but what attach
some taleful or sinister IN
fluence TO it. Thirteen clubs
may be instituted to brave
the terrors of the mystic COM
bination of ciphers, but the
members form but a small
part of the community. In
many directions the influence
may be traced. Shipowners
carefully avoid a thirteenth
cabin, and that number of a
bed room at a hotel is some
what of a rarity. The whole
thing is somewhat Of an alb
surdity, but the people cling
to it like a clam, and the be-
lief will no doubt linger as
long as the human race lasts.
But there is one way In which
this sinister number plays a
rather conspicuous part, and
a thing the world, supersti-
tious or not-cannot get suf-
ficient of--the quarter dollar.
The very name quarter dol
lar has thirteen letters. The
motto, "E Pluribus Unum
is tarred with the same brush
while the eagle has thirteen
feathers to the wing, grasps
th irteen arrow heads IN one
claw and branch of olives
with the same number OF
lie aves with the other. There
are thirteen lines on the shield
b e supports, while above him
t Wrinkle thirteen stars. Sure
" with all these evidences of
the baleful number it is a
wonder that anyone cares to
handle the coin, but every
one, supersticious or not, Is
willing to take the risk.
