EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
Fifty Congress May Convene
Before December.

Gefore BcCembers
4 Washington correspondent declares
that an extra session uf Congress looms
up as inevitable. The Legislative hopper
is oyerhlled with bills which must be
passed during the remaining legislative
days Hitherto the champions of the
shipping bill have disclaimed any desire
to favor an extraordinary session. But
they now proclaim openly that unless
the ship subsidy bill is passed this SEES
sion the President will be induced to CON
veae the Fifty-seventh Assembly before
'ae regular session in December. The
cstensible excuse for this call will be to
act upon the Cuban constitutional con
vention. 1t becomes evident that the
Cuban delegates will be unable to pre-
sent the framework of their indepen-
dent government until after the life of
the present Congress has expired. II Is
equally certain that Great Britain will
not forward it's reply to the Hay Faunce-
fote treaty amendments until after aa
journment. and in view OF the ironclad
agreement there can be no Nicarasuau
Legislation this session Likewise there
arises in the background the supreme
Court decisions affecting the status Of
the island possessions, Whlch may W
mand immediate attention FROM Con
gress. To cap the climax, the war tax
reduction bill as reported by the Sen
ate committee invites a great deal Of hos
tility in the House. aud the possibility
of the enactment of war tax reduction
legislation is farther removed by the GER
tainty Of a deadlock in conference be-
tween the Senate and House. The Sen
ate reduction bin is totally different from
that passed by the House and is regard
ed by the members of the latter as often
sive and inequitabe.
4 deadlock between the two houses of
Congress is in sight with the war tax
reduction bill rs the issue, Although
the Senate bill reported from commit
tee does not exceed the amount of re-
duction authorized in the House, the
character Of the Senate bin is totally
different The Senate committee replac-
ed the tax on bank checks. drafts. bills
of exchange, postal money orders and
many other items which the House re-
moved 1t likewise repeals the stamp
taxes. repeats the tax on commercial
brokers ard aboishes other features
which were present in the House bill.

Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
payements have been led to think that
a heavy horse must be the better ami
mSl in all cases, and we see many
farm teams that are far inferior I'm the
amount of work they can do in plow-
ing or in drawing load upon soft
ground than much lighter team would
do easily. Then the heavy horses are
driven over our billy roads often at
rate of speed that causes them to pound
the earth so that the legs give out, and
they are quickly lame. Ii certainly re-
auires more food TO sustain 1600
pound horses than one weighing from
1000 to 100 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them. AS
farmers will naye next spring to buy
horses or many viii we advise them to
turn their attention to the smaller
horses from Canada IL they can be
found rather than 10 the Percherons
and Shire horses that have been so pop
ular lately. They win cost less prices,

How >Tuch win Corn shrink


In the fall of 1898 an experiment was
undertaken by Prof Atkinson at the
Iowa experiment station 10 ascertain
the amount of moisture contained in
ear corn. A crib was constructed upon
the platform of a pair of scales, the
scales so constructed that an exact
register of the weight could always be
made. Seven thousand pounds of corn
were husked and pla ced in the crib Oct.
10, 1898. The crib WIS 1879 feet long
by ~ feet wide. The corn was then
weighed once each week for a year.
During the first three months the loss
was 630 pounds, or 9 PER cent of the
original weight. During the next three
months, from Jan. 10 40 April 49, the
loss was 800 pounds. or per cent Of
the original weight. During the next
three months the loss was 220 pounds;
during the last three months the loss
was 100 pounds. The loss during the
full year was ,430 pounds, or a trifie
more than 20 per cent. This means
that a hushel of corn Weighing eighty
pounds when husked like this sample
VIII weigh sixty-four pounds at the

to the roots of trees, commonly known
as root killing The lesson was an ex-
pensive one and hard to learn, but it
will not soon be forgotten, aud in the
future We will give more attention in
