criticises Philippine Trip.

MT. Fordney and MT. Cassell of Penn- sylvania, spoke for the adoption of this amendment and MT. Payne opposed II. Opposition was made by MT. Longworth of Ohio. on the ground that 1t was of- fering prosperity to the Filipinos with A string to it. Critcsing the expedition to the Philippines last summer, parucl- hated in by members of Congress, MT. Hogg of Colorado said 1t seemed to nm it had cost the government $OOOO, Just the amount the Presidents Panama canal commission had cost-to inform the American people of the administration of affairs there He referred to the account of the trip by Colonel Edwards. It showed that they visited a certain place and there was a parade, dinner ana a dance. They visited another place and there was another parade, another dln- ner. mother dance. He was surprised that members had secured so much infor- nation On endeayoring to reply, MT. Payne was laughed at in admitting the hospitality of the Filipinos and the Ire ouent "banquets." However he said time for full hearing was had.
 The vote on the Fordney amendment was understood to embrace the 1uii strength of the opposition to the bill. On rising vote S6 members voted for the amendment and 126 against 1t.
 An amendment levying duty Of 70 per cent of the Dingley tariff on rice from the Philippines was offered by MT Pufo of Louisiana and accepted by MT. Payne. Before this amendment was voted on, a substitute was offered by MT. Parker, applying the 25 per cent rate to all articles from the Philippines ex- cept hemp already on the free list. The vote taken on Mir. Pujo's amendment re- suited in sixty-four affirmative and hfty negative votes, the amendment being adopted.
 MT. Parlker's amendment was defeated An amendment by MT. Slayden of Texas was ruled out of order because 1t de- clared the bill should not be held to mean that the United States intends to incor- porate the inhabitants of the Philippines into citizenship of the United States in order to retain the islands permanently but that it is our intention to establish a suitable government there to prepare their people for independence.
 MT. Pou of North Carolina presented an amendment providing that whenever fl shall be ascertained by the President that any article manufactured in the United States is sold abroad for less than at home the President shall have power to reduce the import duty on the particular article to adjust the amount of advantage given the foreign buyer

THE START IN ALFALFA.

A reader of these notes, living at
Petersburg, Ill.,, writes asking where
he can secure pure and reliable alfalfa
seed. In reply to this direct question
we would say that the Payne Alfalfa
company of Omaha, Neb., is recon-
mended by the Iowa experiment sta
ton as one Of the most reliable firms
dealing in alfalfa seed. Seed which
the writer got from 1t last fall gave
q most excellent stand. In starting
a patch Of alfalfa only the best seed
should be used, and this will come
at about 50 per bushel, which is the
price Of red clover seed. Our CORE
spondent also wishes to know where
he can get red clover bacteria with
which to inoculate his soil. In view Of
the fact that such rank frauds have
been perpetrated under the guise Of
furnishing cultures for the different
leguminous crops, we would repeat
what appeared in these notes short
time ago relative to this subject In
order to clear up good deal Of fiction
concerning the matter, as well as to
show up a number Of firms that were
swindling the public with bogus and
worthless bacteria cultures, the agri-
cultural department issued bulletin
which states that experiments conduct
ed show that no beneficial results can
be expected for particular crop If the
bacteria Of that plant are already in
the soil; that but little benefit can be
expected If the ground is decidedly In
need Of other fertilizers, such as phos-
pilates, potash or lime, and that prac-
tically no benefit can be derived from
incubation of the soil If 1t is already
rich in nitrogen. Experiments carried
on at the Iowa station under the super
vision Of Professor Holden show that
very satisfactory results can be OBJ
tanned by thoroughly fertilizing the
plot to be used for alfalfa with barn.
yard manure and putting it in the best
of filth before sowing the seed, har-
rowing in as with clover. 1t Is con-
ceded that there may be distinct adj
vantage in taking soil from field in
which the plant has obtained foot
hold and scattering it on the new land
at the time the seed Is sown, but the
importation of nitro cultures from any
firm which does not have the o X Of
the department of agriculture or ones
own state experiment station is, as ex-
perience of many has proved, very
precarious speculation. Fit the land
as you would to produce bumper
crop Of corn and sow seed not later
than Aug. Is.

SHADE ABOUT THE HOME.

AS between a treeless, sun beaten
yard and one covered with a surplus of
shade there are few people but
would prefer the latter condition, and
yet from the standpoint of home sani-
tatiOn and individual health the former
is far the more desirable. 1t Is but nat
ural that there should be prejudice
against taking out any of the shade
trees about the home which for years
have furnished nesting places for feath-
cred friends, provided refreshing and
cool retreat from summer sun and
served to break the force Of winter
winds. We come to look upon these
mute friends with real affection, and
no wonder that as result of such at
tachment formed through long years
of association we are loath to cut them
out, root and branch. They have al
ways served us well, and 1t Is with
real twinges of the heart that the day
arrives when 1t Is necessary to thin
them out and let In the germ destroy
ing, wholesome sunshine, whose mis-
sion as preserver and restorer Of
health was never realized in so large
measure as today. If the house Is
completely wrapped in shade, moss
clings to the roof and little or no grass
grows beneath the trees the time Is
ripe for action. Shade Is good and
pleasant, but from the standpoint Of
health too much Is worse than none
at all. III

THE PRICE TOO HIGH.

In few weeks now the great public
school system of the country will be In
operation again. We would say word
to the parents Of many bright and
ambitious pupil. 1t is that rather than
be encouraged to take up extra bur-
dens of school work during the years
between twelve and sixteen the pupil
and this applies more particularly to
the daughter in the home-should be al
lowed to take but the regular work,
and less than this II the condition Of
health requires It. The cases are Of
all too frequent occurrence where an
ambitious son or daughter has been
urged beyond the limit Of physical and
nervous endurance simply to satisfy
the shallow vanity Of an unwise and
shortsighted parent In the desire to see
the child at the head of the class. A
weakened vitality, ruined eyesight and
a nervous breakdown are considera-
tons which prove beyond question that
the game doesn't begin to pay the can
die. The boy possessing a somewhat
larger endowment of animal spirits
and having less ambition and pride
than his sister will fire his books into
the corner when the point Of nervous
tension is reached and go out of doors
and refresh his tired spirits. 1t is
only the ''tomboy" girl who will imi-
tate her brother in this respect, and
fortunate she is If endowed with his
feelings. There's not a high school,
college or university in the country
but has its quota of human sacri-
fees due to this abOminable system Of
examining, stufffng and Overstudy. AS
the children In the home grow to ma
turity every care possible should be
exercised with view to giving them
strong and robust bodies, their intel
lectual attainments being Of entirely
secondary consideration when got at a
sacrifice of health. 1t is of mighty lit
tie satisfaction to the student when he
finishes his school or college course to
realize that In return for a store Of
more or less useless book knowledge
he is doomed to lifelong invalidism and
incapacity. Education is valuable
asset, but 1t is dearly acquired at en-
expense Of physical bankruptcy.
