Washington, Aug. 2.-The house
farmers free list bill, exempting from
tariff duties a variety of agricultural
implements, cereals, meats, cotton
tagging and other articles was de-.
feated by the senate by a tie vote Of
80 to 80.
It's Democratic trainers claimed that
in ~effecting a great saving to the PEG.

gram the senate Immediately after
voting down the bill reconsidered the
vote without roll call, on motion of
Senator La Toilette, Republican pro-
g~ressive. Senator Kern of Indiana,
Democrat, then offered a compromise
amendment, taking meats off the free
list when coming from countries that
do not admit American cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, horses, cattle and hogs
free of duty.
This compromise measure was
adopted by the senate by a vote Of
48 to 30.
The Kern amendment, like the Bal.
Icy amendment that had been prevl-
ously defeated, took meat products
out of the free list bill; but it granted
privilege of free entry Of meats to
countries that in turn admit free Of
duty American cotton, corn, wheat,
oats, cattle and hogs. AS amended
and finally adopted the bill differed
but little from the original.
The bill was passed by an alliance

TlN|kloE GOOD FOR
GROWING PIGS.

We have found that the first eight or
ten weeks are about the most critical
period IN the life Of the pig 20 far. 40
growth 10 concerned writes II. ID. Nc
CARNEY In Farm and Eireside. We
have learned that It pays best to push
the pigs from the start and to market
them at the age. Of eight or nine
months. Growth put on while the pig
10 young IL made cheaper than can pos
sibly be done at any later stage In its
life.
The cheapest gains Of all are made
through the mother. For that reason
It pays to feed her well. In our own
practice we get the SOW out into the
pasture as soon as possible. The
green, ~succulent feed furnishes easily
digested nutriment and puts the sow's
system into the best possible physical
condition, which enables her to make
milk abundantly for the pigs.
As a milk producing feedscorn alone
never does very we'll except, possibly.
when the SOW is running on alfalfa. or
clover pasture. Even then the ration
is most too starchy for best results. 1t
produces fat on the SOW rather than
real growth on the pigs.
Tankage is the best supplement to
corn. It Is very high In protein and is
just what is needed to balance the
starchy nature Of corn. The amount
necessary to feed will vary according
to the kind Of pasture the SOW has.
II it is timothy or blue grass or some
other grass about 10 per cent Of the
entire amount Of grain fed should be
tankage. If the pasture is alfalfa or
clover or other legume s per cent will
be enough. Feed tankage by stirring
IT up in water and feeding 1t In a
trough before the cor is fed.
The pigs will learn to eat by them
selves at an early age. The little
youngsters will begin to eat scattered
kernels of corn from their mothers
trough. As soon rs they have done
this we feed u pigs separately, so
that they can eat without danger of
being trampled by the sows.
VAAN0 LA0 YA60 0AV ANAAA4AA6 W CIV
soaked corn does very nicely alone, as
the pigs will not eat enough to pro-
duce overfatness. As soon as they
will take any considerable amount we
prefer to mix some tankage with the
soaked corn. Tankage should not be
soaked with the corn, as 1t will fer
ment. We mix it in just before feed
ing time.
OF course tankage is not the only
protein supplement suitable for pigs.
Everybody knows what skimmilk win
do for pigs. Shorts, or red dog -four.
are very much relished, and as these
feeds r quite high in protein they
make very satisfactory supplements.
Oilmeal also does very well, but we
never like to feed It to pigs on pasture
except to mix a small amount of it
with shorts, or red dog -four.
