There was A sharp division of opinion in tho sen ate today over tho question whether the Tillman-Gillespie resolution instruct ing the Interstate Commerce commis sion to inquire Into the railroad hold ings of coal and oil lands jnatiflod the president's message regarding it. Till man complained that tho president had charged congtess with Insincerity, pre tense and ignorance Lodge and Spooner took tho position that the charge of ignorance was warranted. The debate was interrupted at 2 o'clock, when Culberson was recognized to speak on tho railroad rate bill. Ho read a section of his bill to create emer gency powers for the Interstate Com merce commission, which ho will offer as a substitute for tho pending meas ure. Forakcr took Jus no with Culberson when ho declared congress Itself had construed tho commorco clause of tho ronstltution ns giving It power to tlx rates, by granting a Federal charter to the Union Pacific railway. In that act it reserved this power, and it acted un der the commorco clause in that legis lation. This Foraker contended should not bo so held. Washington, Marh 12.

The agitation for tho Investigation begun todav was started some time ago, when Clifford Thorn, acting on behalf of tho Kansas Oil Producers' associa tion, filed with James B.Garfield, com missioner of corporations at Washing ton, a statement in which Instances of alleged discrimination against the inde pendents In the matter of rates was mado. WOMEN AS SHIELDS. Cause of Slaughter of Whole Moro Familios by Troops, Manila, March 13. Major General Wood, who has arrived here, has an nounced that he assames full responsi bility for the fight against the Moros at Dajo hill, near Jolo. He said that there was no wanton destruction of wo men and children in tho fight, though many of them were killed by force of necessity, because the Moros UBod them as BhleldB, In the hand-to-hard fighting. Major General Wood declared that many of the women wore male attire and tholr sex could not be distinguish ed. Another confusing cause was tho desperation with wmch ths women fought, tho priests having worked all 01 the Moros to a religious frenzy. Many of the Moros feigned death and butch ered the American hospital men who were relieving the wounded. Decision Is Given Orally. Bolso, March 13.

A horse blanket particularly ndnpt- od to draft animals Is tho invention of a Seattle man. This blanket Is so ven tilated that undue accumulation of uiilmnl beat under the blanket Is pre vented. This Is accomplished by hav ing openings In that portion of tho horse. Tho openings being at tho highest point occupied by tho blanket when arranged on tho animal, the ris ing animal heat passes off freely. To prevent water or snow from gaining access through these openings there is used a shield, which Is supported above the openings by a skeleton wire frame. The reins for guiding the horse are held In place In the frame. The shield, which Is made of fabric, Is of greater width than the openings, thor oughly protecting the animal. Such a blanket would be suitable for livestock of any kind. rfalldlnKr Up n Deef Herd. It Is Important to have cattle of good individual quality and to have this backed up by good pedigrees. But It is equally important that their en vlroment be right, writes a New York farmer In American Agriculturist A farm that Is naturally poor and grows poor crops can only develop stock of poor quality. I am positive of this. The farm on which my cattle are kept Is considered one of the best in the county and Is not getting any poorer with the large amount of manure my stock make. It is not what could be called high ground, but almost level and well drained. This soil Is under laid with limestone, similar to the limestone and blue grass lands of Ken tucky, that have long been famous for tho stock that came from tliem. The Honey ainskmelon. One of the astonishing things In vegetable growing or rather In grow ing vegetables for the express purpose of supplying the consumer, Is the ut ter indifference shown by the grower to the matter of quality. The same thing applies to fruit. It would be excusable if there were no other sorts, but when there are a dozen more or tess far better than the varieties of fered It is Btrange, Indeed, they are not grown. A family well known to the writer was especially fond of musk melons and bought them iu large quan tities until all that were offered them were so poor ln quality they stopped using them and the producer lost valu able trade. The Honey melon, which hns been tested for three years past, Is one of the promising new Borts. It Is n nicely formed melon, the skin green and the flesh a yellowish green. The flesh is firm and deep and of a To FlKhf noli Weevil. Secretary Wilson, of tlio Depart ment of Agriculture, asks In bis re port to Congress that $105,500 be ap propriated as the boll weevil item for the following year. It Is proposed that tho Secretary be authorized to expend tho appropriation in such manner as he shnll deem best, ln co-operntlon with tho State experiment .stations and practical cotton growers. Of the special appropriation of $105,000 which was hiado for tho fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1000, $105,000 hns been used by lho Bureau of Plant Industry In the study of cotton diseases, diversi fication and co-operation with tlio va rious experiment stations In extend ing the improved cultural methods. It Is recommended that this appropria tion be continued, not ns n separate Item, but as a part of the regular bu reau funds. It Is highly important, tho Secretary of Agriculture adds, that tho Investigation on breeding of new cottons, the general propaganda work on Improved cultural methods, tho study of the diseases and diversifi cation of crops, be continued nnd ex tended into other Southern States like ly to be invaded by tho weevil. The object of this apropriatlon Is to on uble tho department to continue thla work. MIIlc Pnya More ihnn JlntCer. Tho following, with reference to tho decline of butter manufacture in En gland, Is from Hon. Frank W. Mahln, United States consul nt Nottingham, England: "One plausible explanation of the manifest decline ln dairying ln England is that it is more profltablo to sell the milk, the drinking of which Is Increasing, than to convert it into butter. Consequently the average British farmer Is making no butter to sell, but is even buying what he needs for his own use. Furthermore, It Is asserted that some English dairies buy foreign butter and sell It as their own product the domestic article, though inferior, In tho Judgment of many con sumers, commanding a higher price than the foreign." ninfflnir Unrnlr Ilofra. When the sows get unruly nnd in clined to make trouble of various kinds they can be readily controlled by an arrangement made of ropes and placed around the Jaws of the animal. Such a rope Is not easy to put ln position with an angry hog, so n little device made of an old broom handle is used. Insert a small hook ln cue end of the handle and near the other end nail a FOB BIKOINO THE IIOCS. strap, which fastened so as to form a loop, will enable one to get a firmer grip on the handle. Then Jtake tho rope nnd make a slip noose in one end, hang It from the hook on the end of the small pole and, with a quick move ment, place the Iood over and nround the upper Jaw, when tho mouth Is forced open. Take hold of the rope with one hand Just above the noose and with the help of tho ringer Insert the ring or rings on the snout. Tho animal will be unable to fight much with this appliance around Itsjaw. Tho illustration shows the details of the pole with strap and hook nnd also the method of having the loop over the Jaw.

It will certainly please tho consumer. To Keep Sweet Potatoea. When you havo uo cellar that will keep all tho sweet potntoes you need, wash nnd fill a boiler full of potatoes, cover with cold water, placo them over the fire and boll until you can pierce them with a fork. Remove from boiler and scrnpo the peeling off; slice very thin nnd spread on news paper and dry them in the sun like fruit Soak before cooking. Add a little sugar and butter, and you will have a nice breakfast dish. Fat tu Milk. The percentage of fat ln milk from a single cow may vary, one day giving different results from the next In an experiment with a choice Jersey cow the milk .was found to range from 4.45 per cent.to 5.83. per cent X single test with a cow may, therefore, be of no value, as In the oue case more milk would be required to make a pound of butter than ln the other, as was shown In the variation In fat with the above experiment Demand for Trottera. The breeding of hackneys may an swer for men of great wealth and large Incomes, but the average Ameri can farmer will find it much more profitable to breed from the best of trotting stock, says American Cultiva tor. He should aim to produce ani mals of good size, high Intelligence, pleasant disposition, a pure trotting; gait and high, all round action. There Is always a good demand for such ani mals and at prices that will Insure a profit to tho man who breeds and rais es them, provided they are properly educated to harness and well fitted for the market.

It Is a goort practice to split tho roots and allow the hens to pick out tho contents.

For llmberneck ln fowls try one ta blespoonful of copperus dissolved la each two gallons of drinking water. Maggots from decaying animal matter are said to produce llmberneck la fowls. This Is doubtful, but as a mat ter of precaution would suggest that any carcass that may be around b burled.
