All the powers of the Administration have availed little in the way of construct- ing a tariff revision bill restricted to “agricultural relief.” Provisions of the bill propose to abolish the bipartisan character of the Tariff Commission, and would permit the President to appoint its members|t without regard to party division. While this is being featured in Wash- ington and in the press as important, S as a mere play on words, because no man of intelligence is ever able to qualify as a Tariff Commissioner un- less he is a partisan to begin with. The plan to give the President greater power in changing tariff rates under what is known as the “flexible bill, and this may be said to be in line with established Republican poli- cies. It will be fought by the Demo- crats, but they won’t get anywhere|o with their opposition. The tariff bill was drafted by the|d Republicans, and the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee complain they were not permitted to look at the bill until it was all finished and |h given to the public. be disturbed about this matter as all tariff bills that have been drafted during the past twenty-five years or more, either by the Republicans or Democrats, have gone through the same process and have been control-|V led exclusively by the party in pow- = er, which in the framing and report-| ing of the tariff bills has flattened out all opposition with their party steam- rollers. After that is done the Ways/|p and Means Committee always takes charge of the measure in the House, and no amendments, as a rule, are even permitted consideration without the consent of this Committee. As oO tee is backed by the Republican cau- cus the minority party is powerless in the House. The tariff bill makes important changes, for the most part in the shape of higher rates, on the present duties of earthenware manufactures, seeds, hemp, and jute, wool, silk and rayon manufactures, paper and books, leath- er gloves, and all sorts of articles that enter into these manufactures. agricultural products are treated un- der the general plan of giving them higher protection. islation is sugar, and the Republicans will have more trouble trying to ex- plain the proposed three cent tariff on world sugar and 2.40 on Cuban sugar than anything else in the bill. mittedly what looks like unlimited discrimination against Cuba is de- fended on the ground that the domes- tic cane and sugar beet producers must have greater profits in order to place their industry in the United States on a profitable basis. doing this they throw the gates open to free sugar from the Philippines and Hawaii, but place additional bur- dens on Cuba, which is treated like a bad foreigner, in its efforts to main- : ee : : tain its place Sick last Tuesday with high blood It looks as though most of the fire- works about the tariff rates will re- zie, wife and daughters and son of volt around discrimatory duties on su- Lonaconing, Md., called at three dif- gar and other products of Cuba.

If the heifer is stunted by poor feeding and neglect she will not become the kind of ani- mal we want when she calves. She will be lacking in capacity, and as the consumption of roughage is neces- sary for economical milk production, it will be found that in the end it does not pay to neglect the young stock. One cause for the marked difference in the size of cows of the same breed- ing as found in different herds is this factor of ration when young, says J. P. LaMaster, chief of the dairy divi- sion, at Clemson college, South Caro- lina. During the summer, on good pas- ture, little if any, grain is needed if the heifer is at least ten months old; but when pastures are poor or dried up, a little grain is necessary. In winter, however, to get the most rapid growth it is necessary to supply a considerable proportion of the nutri- ents "in the form of concentrates. Where even the best roughage is fed alone, the growth wili not be as much as where grain is fed also. The following are suggestions for rations for heifers in winter: 1. When silage anc legume hay are available: corn silage, alfalfa, cowpea or soybean hay at will. For heifers less than ten months old, two pounds of grain daily in addition. The grain must be equal parts of corn and oats. For heifers’ within three months of calving, in order to insure good flesh at that time, three to five pounds of grain should be fed depending on con- dition. 2. When corn silage is available but not legume hay: Silage at will and hay or fodder. Two or three pounds of concentrates should be fed daily, one pound of which should be of high protein content such as cottonseed meal. Equal parts of corn, oats, and bran and one-third cottonseed meal. 3. When legume hay is on hand but no silage: Feed all the hay they will clean up and also two pounds of corn and oats. 4, When no silage or legume hay is available: It will pay to buy legume hay; or if grass hay is fed alone, feed all they will clean up. A grain ra- tion for mixed hay will have to be somewhat higher in protein, such as three pounds of a mixture of two parts of corn and one part of cotton: " seed meal. Sp” quired in Record Cows of ants a record dow he must buy a cow with a recerd, and a good one, too, says the New York State College of Agriculture. Time is needed to make good selections, and it is well to seek aid from competent and trustworthy persons. If a dairyman is buying his cow through u« cattle dealer he should be able to trust him, and when he does not know a "trustworthy dealer, he should seek assistance from a county breed assgeciation or the cattle sales company of the county in which the animal is to be bought. The names and full information about these or- ganizations may be obtained from the county agricultural agents. In case there are no such organizations, coun- ty agents :an supply prospective buy- ers with the names of reliable breed- ers, dairymen, or dealers in the county. The New York state college says that too much caution cannot be used in buying cows for, although extra time may be needed during the pur- chasing, much time and nioney can be saved later on. Dairymen who have lost herds because of random buying are more careful in the future. Ropy Milk or Cream Is Caused by Minute Germs Ropy milk or cream {is caused by germs that get into the milk after it comes from the cow. The germs usually live in water from which they get into the milk. If your jcow has access to water in which she stands or stands in a muddy plate these germs get onto the switch of] her tail or on the flanks and when dry fal | into the milk pail while the|milking ; is being done. In other casés these germs are found in the water tank and get onto the utensils fromm which they infect the milk. Clean and thoroughly disinfect all dairy utensils with boiling! water. Clean and disinfect the stock tank. Before milking wipe the swifich and flanks with a damp cloth to prevent any dirt or dust from falling into the milk. A thorough cleaning d dis- infecting will usually end the frouble. Iodized Milk FA SPRINGS NEWS The weather continues cocl. ; Much oats is yet to be sowed becausé of the continued wet weather.
