BEEF FED ON BEANS AND cAssAvA.

Barlow Courier: Mr.. William Lyle
showed us a beef that he had fed for
the market, a COW of scrub breed, but
probably a little above the average size.
The average net weight Of a COW brought
from the woods for market, when round
AID what is considered good condition. is
% pounds. The COW fed by Mr.. Lyle it
was agreed, could not have given more
than $50 pounds of net beef under the
usual market conditions. His wish was,
not only to prepare his COW for market,
but to test the fattening qualities of vel
vet beans and cassava. The COW was fed
four months or 100 days on this food

Ing the first thirty days but little more
was accomplished than to educate the
taste of the cow so that she would eat
her food with relish. So that you might
say that the gain in weight was prac-
ucally within the last ninety days of the
experiment. When killed the net weight
was 455 pounds of rich beef of excellent
flavor. The gain was POS pounds nearly
two pounds per day. The gain to Mr.. Lyle
according to the calculations of Mr. AL
len, who bought her for his stall in the
market was the difference between the
price on 455 and $50 pounds. with one
cent per pound added because of the
quality of the beef. Such beef, includ-
ing the hide, was worth $29 sc. The ordi-

WILL DODGE DIRECT ISSUE.
Republicans in Congress to Let the
Tariff Alone.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Representa-
tives Tawney of Minnesota, Hepburn
of Iowa and other prominent Republi-
cans in the House of Representatives
who have been in Washington during
the past week, have had several heart
to-heart talks on the proposed revision
of the tariff on the lines of the Babcock
plan.
While none of these distinguished
gentlemen is prepared at this time to
give forth any statements which may
be binding on their action in Congress
next winter, it is generally believed
that 1t will be the policy of the Re-
publican party to put up grand game
of bluff and dodge a direct issue on
the tariff question. Representative
Tawney, who was a member of the
Committee on Ways and Means in the
last Congress and who will in all prob
ability be appointed again by Gen.
Henderson, who will surely succeed
himself as speaker, was very cautious
when pointed questions on the tariff
subject were addressed to him. Indeed,
the answers of nearly all Republicans
are evasive at this time and non-com-
initial, so far as the tariff question Is
involved.
From one who ought to be familiar
with the intents and purposes of the
Republican party, 1t is learned that the
proposition to revise the tariff, which
will surely be brought forward in Con-
gress next winter either by Democrats
or by Republican followers of Repre-
sentative Babcock, will be met by a
counter proposition by the administra-
ton forces. The administration does
not desire any tampering with the tar
if next winter if 1t can be averted. 1t
is proposed that if the combined forces
of the Democrats and the Babcock
tariff reformers show sufficient
strength to make trouble, the
administration will spring COM
promise proposition for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate
the charges that American products
are sold abroad cheaper to foreign con-
sumers than the same goods are sold
in this country.
Mr.. Tawney contends that there is
grave question of doubt as to whether
this charge can be substantiated, and
in his Judgment the subject should be
| fully investigated by competent parties
before any attempt is made to revise
the existing tariff laws. He claims that
any attempt to change one schedule in
| the tariff list will necessitate general
| revision all down the line, which, in his
opinion, will result in a general upheval
and an unsettlement of business inter-
ests. Therefore, in his Judgment, the
question of tariff revision should be APP
preached very cautiously, and it is UNI
doubtedly the intention of the Repub-
| lican managers to staVe off any modin-
| cation of the tariff laws at the next
session of Congress, if political inge-
nuity can invent a feasible plan.
