What the horses Of the farm have to
do depends upon the nature OF the
work and how well used they are to
it, consequently the horse should be
treated accordingly. II the horses have
heavy spring plowing to do, with more
or less road work in the summer, then
harvesting and more plowing In the
fall, and it Is intended to use them for
heavy drafting in the winter, 1t Will
pay to divide the work in some way
so that they will have little chance
for rest. The argument that rainy
days and Sundays are sufficient for
the animals does not hold good In all
cases. In our experience we find 1t
pays to have reasonably short hours
for the horses, and not to give them
driving every day there happens to be
little lull in the work Of the farm.
We feed strictly In accordance with
the work to be done, and contrlve. In
some way, so that every horse VIII
have a turn at the pasture, even though
1t be only an hour or two at night. 1t
Is not good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without the pasture. Green food cut
and placed in the manger is not tht
same. The open air. the freedom from
the harness. the yielding Of the soft
turf and the biting of the grass are
essential to horses, and it pays to let
them have a spell at it.

CONGRESS SLOW
IN STARTING
Neither Body Seems Anxious to Make
First Break.
Senate Takes Up Railroad Rates and
Refers Canal Appropriation to Ap-
preparation Communicable Action
on Mitchelrs Death-Speaker Can
non Names Committees.

Washington, Dec, 12.-With spirited
debate on the subjects of railroad rate
legislation, arising through the intro
duction of bill by Mr.. Tillman to au-
thorize the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to fix miximum rates, and of
the Panama canal, due to controversy
over the reference of the emergency ap-
preparation bill to a committee, yester-
days session of the senate continuously
proved interesting for more than four
hours.
An adjournment was taken without a
mention of the late Senator Mitchell of
Oregon, and 30 for the first time the
death of senator was permitted to pass
unnoticed by the senate. The erasure
of Mr.. Mitchell's name from the rolls
followed. Chaplain Hale recalled the
situation to mind in his prayer by re-
ferring pointedly 'o corruption and
death and by praying that members of
the senate be given strength to bear
each others burdens.
After more than a score of senators
had discussed the Panama bill it was
referred to the appropriation committee
by vote of 40 to 23.
The senate then, at 450 p. M, went
into executive session and at $40 ad-
journed.

No Ship Subsidy Possible.

Washington, Dec. 13.-There is to
be no ship subsidy legislation at this
session OF congress. The senate is luke
warm. The house is opposed to such
legislation. The new merchant marine

time, because of the likelihood of
tariff discussion.

BURTON FOR JETTY.
Pledges Himself to Secure Appropri-
alton This Winter.

Washington, Dec. Is. - Chairman
Burton. of the house rivers and harbors
committee, is not only in favor of max
iug an appropriation this session for
continuing the improvement at the
mouth of the Columbia river, but he
will, at the proper time, take off his
coat and 60 to work to get sufficient
money to keep work in progress until
another river and harbor bill can be
passed. How he will strive to accom-
plish this result Mr.. Burton has not
decided, but in conference with Sena-
tor Fulton he expressed his friendship
for the project, and said he was fully
aware of the necessity for making an
appropriation this winter.
Chairman Burton, who is in posi-
ton to do more for the mouth of the
Columbia river than any man in the
house Of representatives., will work in
behalf of that project with double en-
ergy in view of the fact that Oregon
has 70 representation in that body to
look after her interests. He will not
let the Columbia 90 because there is no
one from Oregon to prees its claim, but
will himself shoulder the burden which
would have fallen on the Oregon con-
gressmen had it been possible for them
to attend this session. He will have
the hearty cooperation of Representa-
tive Jones, of Washington, who is also
on the rivers and harbors committee,
and who is anxious to aid in procuring
an appropriation for continuing work
on the ietty.

FRANCE WEARY OF WAITING.
Patience is Becoming Exhausted b,
Castro's Procrastination.

Washington, Dec. 12.-France has
refused to withdraw her note to Vene-
zuela, protesting against President Cas-
tro's treatment of M. Taign, the French
diplomatic representative. M. Jusser-
and, the French ambassador, bad a
long conference with Secretary Root to-
day regarding the Venezuela situation,
which it can be announced on high au-
thority is daily growing worse. France,
it is understood, would have taken
steps to protect her own interests in
Venezuela before this, had it not been
for the unwillingness of the French
government to make any move which
would hinder or embsrrass the settle
ment of the American troubles with
Venezuela. This is thoroughly under
stood by Secretary Root and although
Mr.. Russell, the American minister, is
still endesvoring to assist in reaching
peaceful settlement of affairs at Cara
cas-, it is evident that French patience
is about exhausted.

Cut Out Opposed Section

Washington, Dec. Ia. - The Santo
Domingo treaty vas referred back to
the committee on foreign relations. 1t
is understood that it is the desire of the
administration that the treaty be modi-
fed by striking out the provision au-
thorizing the president to send an
armed force to Santo Domingo, if at
any time necessary. Ii is the belief of
friends of the treaty that, if this pro-
vision were removed, there would be
lees opposition to ratification.
