Dec 7 ine I Of course there is nothing much thought or talked of in Wash neton these days except the new Congress and the new bills introduced. Since the er was sworn in on the meeting of the House there hive been a little over 5,000 bills pre Bented in the House and Senate Al- .1 . . . vi mefe it is said that about 400 stand some show of passing It w 1,., .... onn u.. .i . .icowjr Aw uy lne umg jjg Beg f ion closes and of these few will be of national interest. May of th bills are old regulars, private claims and the like that come up at every Session and have been before ( on gress for a generation with no more show of passing now than they had on the day they were first introduc- ea. umers are hills ol interest to only a particular locality, and then there are scores of bills all covering the same ground. There are half a dozen railroad rate bills, several pure lood bills and other measures duplicated many times over. Some are bills introduced ly- the opponents of the very measures they are supposed to represent, for instance, one pure food bill is the creation of a clique of manufacturers who have anything but pure food legislation at heart and hope merely if their bill passes it will throw the enforcement of the law into a de partment that has little interest in it and will make the measure die death of inanition. . There are barely half a dozen measures in which the country at large is really interested. Chief of these are the Panama Canal and the rate bill. The Panama bill which will appropriate $16,500,000 for the immediate work on the canal has already been taken up in the Hoube by unanimous consent and there is every prospect that it will be passed before adjournment for the Christ mas holidays. As to what rate bill will get the right of way is a more debatable question. The Townsend bill ha i been introduced again in a little different form from the Esch Townsend bill of the last session, and there is the bill of the Inter State Commerce Commission which has been amended by the Senate Committee on Inter-State Commerce. There are also six other bills to th same end, none of which have re ceived the stump of unqualified ap proval from the White House. In fact the President's message was beautifully vague on this important point and it lefc the matter of rate control almost as much up in the air as it was before the message went in. 'There is a good deal of talk that the President is already trim mlng on the rate question and that he is willing to take the best thing that offers in that line. Certain it is that the message made no concrete rec ommendation, but as in all the other paragraphs of its 26,000 words, was devoted to moral precepts and generalities which Congress might be assumed to have already ac- nnipsmri. in which, as a matter of i , . &ct, they have not lived up to in the past by a good deal. There are a good many Dins al ready introduced that indicate a tendency lo centralize affairs under federal control Representative Hearst, of New York, has a bill for the federal control of telegraph ines : Representative Murdock has another for the control of Hie insnr ance companies by the Treasury De partment : another is for the control of corporations doing either an inter- f. u f.ireicrn DUfllOcotf. Kin measures are to prevent contnba lions by corporations to campaign funds, and two to prevent the un lawful use of private cars on nu roads for the purpose of coverio nr. rebate (firing; another is to es tablish a parcel post, and another to create a governmental postal saung bank. There are many other meas of a centralizing tendency bnt those are among the most prominent the and which touch mosi neanj life nf the average citizen.

One horse was instantly killed and the wagon somewhat damaged. A darkey, who was in charge of the team, was slightly injured. RELIEF IN SIX HOURS.

The Time to Dig Commercial and Homemade biKftcrR. j By W. T. MACOUN. Cannda. j If potatoes have not been affected with late blight or rot the beat lime to dig them ia as soon as Hie tops have died If the weather Is favorable. Po tatoes are usually dug Just after the corn la harvested or before the frost becomes severe enoiiRh to freeze the oil to the depth of an Inch or so. Wbcn the soil Is well drained aud not wet there la not much danger to the crop by leaving It In the ground for this length of time. Potatoes which have been killed by late blight will usually rot as soon as the conditions are favorable, and for PlOW WITH FORKLIKE ATTACHMENT. this reason a diseased crop is better left In the ground, as the tubers which are diseased will most of them show signs of rot before they have to be taken up on account of frost, and they need not be picked up at all. Where there are large areas to be dug a good potato digger is essential. Not only will a potato digger raise the crop more economically than a fork or plow, but with It the grower Is more likely to get his crop dug and picked up while the weather la flue, which Is a great consideration. There are a num ber of good potato diggers now on the market which will dig up and leave on the surface of the soil practically all the tubers. The second cut shows a manufactured digger. Next to a good potato digger a fork like attachment to a plow does the best work. That In the first Illustration Is one made and used at the Canada experimental farm with very fair suc cess. The fork Is attached to the side of the plow and not to the point, in which It differs from some of the otli- -era. Being attached to the side, It prevents much clogging from the po tato tops, as the rows can be plowed from the side. There are some potatoes left In the ground even when this attachment Is used, but not nearly as many as with the plow. Plowing potatoes out has become quite a common method among farmers since help began to get scarce, and It Is difficult to get men to dig, but In plowing them out there Is always a large number of potatoes left in the ground, and the additional labor re quired to pick up these potatoes, which are scattered all over the field, is con siderable. The old fashioned yet thorough way of digging with the four tined potato fork Is too slow and expensive a metb- POTATO DIOQEB. ed now that good men are difficult to get and wage are so high, but where these do not have to be taken iuto con sideration as good or better work Is done by a man than by any implement A man with a fork will dig little more than half an acre a day. A good potato digger wlU dig from three to five acres a day. Likes Cellar Belter Taaa PH. Harvesting potatoes comes at a very buy season for the diversified farmer. For this reason I have put my potatoes Into the cellar until the rush Is a littlo over. I like the cellar better than the pit, for the reason that I have access at all times and can take advantage of any rise hi the market I ran haul the potatoes direct without any trouble of uncovering pit. Then, too, after the ground la frozen It I a big job to open the pit I have marketed my potatoes several years with the thermometer 20 to 25 degree below the freezing point without any loss. This would be !m possible if potatoes bad to be taken out of the pit aay a correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer. CsSalatiaaT LaaSa Far Heraea.

While that la hard 1 wol l; ahd takes too much., time, It Is bettor than to let a good herd run dry, A niilk flow lust Is practically gone for the year. The best way, of course. Is lo have the -cows dry during the not months. But that Is not alwaya pos sible. Silage Is the cheapest feed to supplement short pastures, but whj have else. nnim mu.t An, .mhin. About the only relief for the man who has not planned to have feed for Just tills very time Is for him to feed some grain at the barn or cut up green clover, sweet corn or field corn. One of the most noticeable things on most every farm is the poor con dition of the pasture. Men who do not feed Kllngo In winter are In a hurry to get the cows on grass. Cattle are hungry for succulent feed, and they manage to keep the grass short from the very start. This causes the grass crop to be Fliort at the season when it is not making growth, and, as a result, the cows half starve. When fall raina revive the dormant grass, the cow are poor. " """I 41!e back Into condition again. It does not pay to overstock or to rush cattle on spring pastures before they can sup port tiic herd nicely. This Is a strong argument in favor of the silo for both winter and Rummer feeding. YVinlerliiK Ihe Cew. The Idea Hint milk cow should not be fattened during the summer and full looks well in print, but the writer Is of the opinion that the cow should be allowed to lay on enough flesh dur ing these seasons to enable her to exist comfortably during the winter.

The basal ration should be farm grains, of whlcfi oats are the best milk feed. Gluten feed and meal and linseed and cottonseed meals should be fed very sparingly on ac count of price. Protein, however, la generally the cheapest in the feed containing n high per cent of thl Im portant nutrient. Professor T. L. Haeeker. It-t and Wbeal aa Balllas; Crass.

IN FAVOR OF RIDGE ROADS. War m Ksw Cambria Ms.) Banker Likes Method! ( plaaeers. "Thousands upon thousands of dol lar are waited annually cn attempts at road Improvement because county courts do uot follow the simple rules of th pioneers In passing upon peti tions fer new highways," remarked Judge GranrlH Gdson, president of the New Cambria (Mo.) State bank, who was recently at Macon, Mo., says a dispatch from that place to the Kan sas City Star. "When I was on the bench a few years ago the people who wanted a highway established across a valley, with cute through the hills, called me a 'ridge road crank' because no peti tion wa granted for anything except a ridge road. The early day rentes In this country were sll ridge roads, and most of them are In better condition now than those winding around through hills, with the deep cut and numerous culverts on which many dol lars and much labor have been expend ed. The ridge road is self protecting. Water runs off a if it were greased. It doesn't wash away. It Is more even. It is aot so bard on team and vehi cles. It lo alwaya above the bottoms, where the mire Is. The detour Is a lit tie wider perhaps, but the extra dis tance Is more than balanced by Its su perior solidity and smoothness. "When a cow or other animal has s Journey to make It always takes the ridge. Many of our pioneer roads were started over cow trails. They were In constant service until the country be gan to be divided up Into email farms, and every fellow wanted a highway to run by bis front door without regard to natural conditions. "It would be well for farmers if it were the law of the land that all main public roads should be along ridges. The old fellow ef the flint locks bad foolish notions about some things, but they knew the beet way to get across the country. PRISON LABOR ON ROADS. las ef Bat si ay las' Caavleta a laa- Hlahwaps. .

The burden of convicting the prison er 1 -heavy on the public and the ex pense perbapa even greater In caring for convicts. Were this kind of man na labor more generally put to whole some use In Improving or keeping In repair the public roads, some return would be possible for this heavy out lay. Nor would the more general em ployment of convict labor be without other value. - It I fair to presume that prisoner would rather be out of doors among their fellow men, even though kept Un der surveillance, than penned within high walls and perbapa Idle. Bom soch utilisation of 'a jrreat mass of unemployed muscle would ac complish much good In the Improve ment of our common dirt or atone roads, would reduce taxation, would Increase the value of farm and village property and Incidentally render serv ice from the mental and moral point ef view.

The best possible way to Interest people ta a good roads movement le to manage to get a good sample of good reads made in the middle of the worst bit ef bad reed you can find. I bare in mud the experience of my friend Hale many years ago at the beginning of the good road movement In Connecti cut, where, after several years of fight be secured permission to put a few rode only of good road as a sample. He selected the middle of a very mud dy section of read, and the next sea son's- experience convinced everybody ef the value of good roads, and there waa no more trouble in that region. J.
