TO3n the Senate met Tuesday., Senator Brown,, .if Nebraska, sought ito have adopted tike joint resolution, directing the Seenetary of State to Iranemit to the Governors of the va rious States, copies of the resolutkm fovovkling for a eicistitutnonal amend ment, authorizing the lr vying of san income tax, but'wader objection fnnm iseiwkior jean, eonsioeration was postponed. Tibe Senate adjourted till 'Triday. Tie tariff b3B was uoisted above the 'bickerings df congressional aon ferexzs, and transferred bodily from thekCapitol to Hhe White Honse. DeaSIlocked feeoause df the attitude twf Representative Payt;e, who appar ently has become convinced that he is in the mhrority, Tthe conferees abaaioned the aisual -afternoon ses sion. Senator (2Udriih and Sperfker CannMi repaired to the White House (posthaste to consult T with President TaH, literally taking the tariff bill withriihem. m m m Betiei progress was made Wednes day iy the tariff corfierees than on amy other day since the really trouBle satneikEsputes were reached. No trace of it hes all-feeling which was manifest ed on Monday mais :fappareut in the fXPoelngs Wedasesiitef . Befexe schednlei we?e taken up the conferees diseussed briefly what ss prtfi,etdd be maAe;at the confereee We4oSfiay night n '.tike subjects -c eoal, lumber, hides, 6il and iron opt, but tno effort was maMs to fix ratss upon .any of these aifficles. It was evidejsrt tiat the Senate and House conferees were still far apart. Sev eral ewbjects passed over in former conferences then were taken up. The entire zinc schedule was ad justed. Spelter was made dutiable at 1 3-8 cents per pound, a reduction from the Senate rate of T 1-2 cents and an increase from the House of 1 cent. All of 'the Senate differentials were adopted. Zinc sheets will be dutiable at 1 3-4 cents, aud sheets coated or plated with nickel or other :inetal at 2 cents. After a session retf little more than halt an hour Friday , the Senate ad journed until Monday, which is a clay cardiw than would hawe been possible nnder the unanimous agreement for sessions only on each tfaird day wtale the tariff bill is in conference. The date was moved up in the hope that the conlerence report on the tariff bill might be in shapes to be presented by Monday. Senator Culbertson presented a brief statement showing the record of the Democratic party in the Senate on the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He asked for the printing of a series of tables showing the votes of the Demo cratic members on all the more lm-1 portant questions before the Senate ' in connection with the tariff in doing so, he made a brief explanation. "An impression seems to have been created in some quarters," he said,' "that in their action on the tariff bill, which is now in conference, the Democrats of the Senate have been divided and have often voted with the protectionist majority." He then presented the record to show this im nression to be unfounded. Openly charging that the Congress and the courts" had received and were receiving valubale gifts, employ ment or compensation from public service corporations, trusts and per sons engaged in interstate commerce, or having an interest in legislation, Mr. Randell -presented a resolution in the House directing the Shaker im mediately to appoint the judiciary committee so that it may consider the question of amending the law so as to prohibit such conduct. The resolu tion was voted down. . I The hide question was settled and unsettled Saturday and while there seemed little doubt that eventually I uiuvrn iu Ma XX. aiiiijuti 111c hu articles on the tariff bill, the contest over their status cannot be regarded as 4osed. When the conferees ad journed for luncheon several of them said that it had been decided that hides should go on the free list. Sat- J urday night the same conferees de clare that hides will be free, but that that question has not been decided of ficially. None of the questions made prom inent throughout thfe country by Pres ident Taft7,s interest in them has been adjusted. The conferees spent a large part of Sunday in wrestling with these problems. Iirom a oarexui analysis oi siaie- I meats made bv Senate and House leaders, taken in connection with the tt in Tr "l a. m J?x il. - 1 r 1 attituAe President Taft, the indi cations are that the conference rates upon 'tie important questions still in dispute will be as follows : Hides, free; oil, free; lumber, nwragn, 1.25 a thousand feet, with (proportionate differentials; coal, 45 cetrts a ton without the House re- I ciprecal clause; iron ore, 15 cents a ton-, print papor. $3. 5 a ton.

KU.JVOLE OMPUI(.9DwL"IL" CHMK'UL GRINDING CORN FOR HOGS. x Authr ities disagree as to the ad visibility of grinding the corn for hogs, some feeders claiming that It does not pay for the cost and trouble of grinding, while others think that It does pay well My experience is tnat some hogs will chew corn well, while others will not break half the grains. Usually a young hog will1 chew its food better than an old one. I fattened a hog last year cn dry corn, but not ono half of the grains were broken. Where a hog will not chew its feed well I think it will pay to grind its feed. Hojsg will not chew wheat well, ani no hog will chew buckwheat well, so these grains should always be ground before feeding to hogs. If corn is shelled and scattered on a floor or on the ground so that the hogs will have to pick up one grain at a time they will chew it better than when whole ears are thrown tq tnem. A. J.
