THE HOUSE RULES

1t is an awfully good thing for the
people OF this country that the [. 5.
Senate has steadily refused to revise
the rules of procedure in that body
so as to render a successful filibuster
impossible. Had such action been
taken there is no telling the amount
of vicious and pernicious legislation
that would have found its way to our
statute books, and but for failure to
so revise the rules the much discuss
ed Ship Subsidy law would be in ef-
feet following the adjournment OF
congress. As it is, the Democrats,
ably led by Senator Carmack, sue
ceededin killing that piece OF class leg
islation after the Republicans in the
house had been drsgooned into pass
ing the measure against the wishes
of nineteenth OF the American people
The house rules have arrived at that
stage where they make one man
power in that body an absolute
reality, and the speaker, and not
the house, says what shall and
what shall not become a law. The
time has come when the house must
save itself from the autocratic power
OF the speaker or else lose the respect
OF the people OF the country. The
house members constantly criticise
the senate, but so long as the pres
sent house rules exist the Senate is
not subject for criticism at the
hands OF the house.

THE RAILROADS AND THE
RATE LAW.

President Mullen, OF the New Haven
Railroad, in a recent address before
the Trinity College students declared
that rate law was "revengeful and
punitive, drawn either in ignorance
or pejudice." 1t gives power to the
general government, he asserted, "to
derange established markets to an
extent that, il exercised, will produce
little short of revolution"
"All complaints could have been
satisfied under laws we'll known to be
in existence, he said. "When the
new law was enacted, the power Of
Old laws, not the new. were invoked,
aud all improvement has been men
daciously accredited to this unneces-
sarily drastic legislation, not even
the idea of which was original with the

"The disposition that prompts a

of railroad properties by railroad

however, in this State that the Cor

on the one hand, and the demands OF

FEEDING CATTLE
FOR MARKET

One of the most successful cattle
feeders in West Virginia, f. j. Hum
phrey, in an article on feeding beef
cattle in the American Agriculturist,
says:
| try to get a steer that will weigh
1000 to 1,150 pounds in October, color
red or roam or black IL an Angus,
straight and fat on the back and broad
across the hips, not sharp, good square
hind quarters, a small head and neck, q
good heavy shoulder, short legs and
slick hair, showing good breeding. 1
never turn a steer down because he is
fat. l like to have them feshy and
seldom find one too fat. 1t is an old
saying that "a fat steer Is half winter
ed" There Is more truth than theory
In the statement.
I have very little choice between the
S%horthorn, the Hereford and the
Angus. All are good. The Shorthorn
takes a little more corn than the other
two and will not winter on rough
treatment as well. My cattle are
bought as near home as possible, so no
time is wasted getting them acclimat-
ed. When the cattle arrive at the
farm-sometimes by rail, sometimes by
land-they are turned On the pasture
until the grass Is gone and frosts be-
come frequent, which is generally be-
tween Nov. / and Is, when the cattle
are brought In and sorted up for the
winter feeding. The plan heretofore
has been to select the largest and fat
test steers for the winter feeding.
A rough steer will look better and
sell better fattened on corn and market

Silage Is excellent food for sheep il it
is kept sweet in alright sllos. This
may be done, although the silage may

to let 1t ferment and then cool down,

prevent acid fermentation. Silage may
be made of any kind of corn or rye,
