Situation Not Encouraging

IT is not an encouraging situation
from the White House point oil View,
but Mr.. Wilson proposes to do his
duty, and 10 place the responsibility
for non-action squarely upon the
shoulders Of Congress.
If he could point out in the con-
gressional campaign to revision OF
the tariff, currency and antl-trust
laws. he believes The country would
be satisfied that the Democratic
party honestly has endeavored to
carry out its prediction pledges
and would decide to give it another
lease Of power.
Naturally he does not want to be
placed III the position Of President
Taft, who. during the latter part of
his administration. was unable to
make any forward steps because the
party in opposition controlled one
Of the houses of Congress.
At the same time Mr.. Wilson real

vented is by proving that the party

islation it regards as essential.

Little Can Be Done.

However, with the Senate declln-

motions to take up the various un-
important measures during Decem-
Der and the first half of January,
the Democratic leaders have come
to realize that comparatively little
can be done during the regular ses-
sion.
!. 1t is not believed the currency bill
will be disposed of much before
April; at least this the plan OF the
men in control of the Senate.
In the meantime the President III
tends to have the House pass an
antitrust bill, modelled along tht
lines of the "Seven Sisters which
he janmed through the New jersey
Legislature before he retired from
the governorship, and the bill grant
ing rural credits.
The Senate will be urged to acqul-
Iesce in the action of the House, aIit

will have been disclosed.
The people have been led 10 be-

Training and Feeding Oxen.

Experience has demonstrated that
Devon oxen are to be preferred to
those of other breeds, owing to the fact
that they are more actiye, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Oxen from the Hereford
and Sussex breeds have also proved
themselves very good workers. Grade
steers make very good oxen, but are n
little more refined than they would
be If they were not castrated. II is n
general practice to use yoke where a
team Is used, harness being feasible
only where single animals are to be
hitched. The training cannot be begun
too young, but as a rule they are bro
ken as yearlings and not put to heavy
work until two years old. They can be
trained by yoking two steers and hitch
Ing them to log or some such object
to be pulled around I'm an open lot. To
teach the steers "gee and haw," K is
necessary In some instances to use a
halter on one OF the animals for short
time. As usual practice oxen are fed
on grain and hay varying In amount
according to their size and their work.
