M'CUMBER SCORES
FREE LIST BILL
SAYS IT WILL NOT AID FARM Err
SENATOR NELSON DECLARES
FOR MEASURE.

Washington, July 13.--Debate on the
farmers free list bill in the senate was
opened today by Senator McCumber
who opposed it. AS an incident to his
remarks Senator Nelson declared that
he win vote for the free list bill, par
ticularly because 1t gives the farmer
lumber and boots and shoes free Of
duty.
Senator McCumber referred sarcas-
tically to the so-called compensation
given the northwestern farmer for the
alleged loss he will sustain through the
operation Of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. He denounced the agri-
cultural implements schedule as farci-
cal, because the best farming imple-
ments are made in the United States.
docs not the senator from North
Dakota overlook the fact that the far
mer gets free lumber and free boots
and shoes in the free list bill?" Sem
ator Nelson asked.
Il can demonstrate that there is no
compensation in free lumber" an
swered McCum'ber. 1.-THE farmer
builds a house containing 10000 feet
Of lumber once in forty-fve years. He
will save $1.25 a thousand feet on the
lumber he uses or at the rate of SIS
cents a year. The Minnesota barley
grower will produce 1000 bushels a
year. He will lose the duty of 80 cents
a busheL or $500 every year as against
saving of 55 cents on lumber. The
annual return is just about enough to
buy Ave stogies."
Senator McCumber also declared
that with free wheat the farmer will
lose $40 and will save so cents on
suit of clothes.
Asks About Cotton Saving.
Mr.. McCumber asked Senator Bailey
for information about the probable
saving to the cotton producer by the
removal Of the duty on bagging and
cotton ties, Bailey sail it would be
about 10 cents bale. That's about
one-tenth Of / per cent of the value"
said McCumber.
That's worth saving" declared
Bailey.
''Oh, yes; but 1t isn't compensation"
retorted McCumber. You propose to
take $56,00O.O00 a year from the far
mers Of Minnesota and the Dakotas In
return for $2,SOO.OOO to the cotton
growers of the south"
II would like the senator from North
Dakota to answer, categorically the
question, who pays the northwest
farmer the s56.O00,O0O a year under
the present tariff conditions demand
ed Senator Reed of Missouri.
The consumer pays" answered
McCumber, but he is not called on
to pay the farmer more than the latter
Is entitled to. The farmer, on the
other hand, has to pay more for MANY
things he used than the manufacturer
Is entitled to-"
investigated by Reed and Gore
Senator'S Reed and Gore propounded
various questions to McCumber rela-
tive 70 what the consumer is paving
the farmers on account of the tariff
TO each Of these McCumber replied
that the consumers of wheat tIour
paid about cents month thar tha
brewers paid some and that other
users Of farm products also paid Soma
Senator McCumber then went on III
discuss the condition of the farmer
as compared with laDorers Of eoual
intelligence. He contended that mer-
chants are better paid than the Far
mers who receive about one-tanth
pay OF city mechanics.

inquired Senator Deliver of Senator
Clapp of Minnesota.
American Beauties, guess" replied
Senator Clapp.
Dolliver knew better than that, SO
he heartily thanked the people for
their attention, applause and splendid
flowers.
When they met in Washington after
the campaign Senator Dolliver said to
the Minnesota man: "Clapp, you would
have had me mobbed if l hadn't been
prudent. If l had called those dahlias
American Beauties those Swedes
would have been for killing me-"
"Yes," said Senator Clapp, they are
good people and generally do the right
thing. Minneapolis Journal.

"A Belgian peasant was working on

was amazing. He merely stopped his

me stolidly for several minutes. The
apathy of the villagers, although they
had never seen an aeroplane before,
was indeed remarkable. Two old wo.

shape and style Of the old gander and
goose went. for the only resemblance
you'll see will be in the white and
gray markings. Nevertheless it's a
good cross for market purposes.
Both of these big breeds run to fat,
which is shown by the dewlap under
the chin and the abdomen dragging
on the ground.
The Toulouse, too, is rather flabby
and coarse of flesh. But, strange to
relate, by this cross you get fowl of
graceful lines and finer, firmer fibered
flesh
This makes a more popular fowl
for market buyers aren't after goose
grease, and you can imagine there's
grease to burn when the gander and
goose of these breeds weigh twenty
and eighteen pounds respectively.
The other geese mostly used for com
mercial purposes are Gray African,
White and Brown Chinese and the
Canadian or wild. These are much
different from the Toulouse and Emb-
den, the Gray African only equaling
them in size, the African and Chinese
having big knobs on their heads and
the Canadian being sort of missing
link between the duck and goose.
Good crosses are made by mating
Canadian or Embden gander with Afri-
can, and Embden gander with White
China.
Geese should only be crossed for
market purposes, and pure bred fowls
should only be mated. Such offspring
are called mongrels and mules. Mules
do not breed, and those who confident
ly expect TO breed something wonder
full from their mixed geese seldom get
eggs to set, and when such an eXcep-
tion occurs the eggs are invariably in

your winnings when you advertise

Don't forget that the early hatched
chicks are the best birds for show.
February and March are for show

Don't use commonplace cuts on your
