LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO DE RECALLED
HIS OFFICIAL AND PERSONAL CONDUCT
HIGHLY DISAGREEABLE.
WASHINGTON, October 5.-Thc Govern
mcnt having asked Russia to recall its am
bassador. Catacazy, the Car has requested
that he he tolerated until the visit of the
Grand Duke Alexis is over. The Prcsi-
dent has acccdcd to this, wishing to show
friendship TO the Duke and his imperial
father.
Catacazy has been informed by the Sc
crctary of State that if. when the visit OF
Alexis is over, he shall not bs recalled, his
passports will be sent him and further,
that the President will not receive him I'M
less he is accompanied by the Duke, nor
will he ut any time hold conversation with
him.
The President puts the question of recall
on the ground that Catacazy's conduct,
official and personal, has been such as ma
terially to impair his usefulness to his
Government and to render intercourse
with him, either for business or social pllr-
poses, highly disagrceable.
The President returns to Washington to-
morrow,

During the warm, dry days, re-
member that the air circulating over
every acre Of corn will contain in
six feet of height at least sixty gal
Ions Of water. This quantity may
be made available many times over
during single night by simply
keeping the soil stirred and mellow.
Corn must have moisture as well as
heat. With the soil in the right
condition it will get it while you
sleep, and however dry the weather,
will absorb sufficient moisture at
night to prevent its curling. As
the soil rapidly cools, it drinks in
the warm air, and takes up the
greater part Of the water contained
therein. Don't neglect to stir the
soil if you want corn.

CULTURE OF RAPE


There are two kinds Of rape
which are pretty extensively cult
waited; Rape proper or Gale B,'assi-
ca ropn) and Calza Brossica COM
PestiS). The uses of rape are two
fold-to afford oil from the seed and
to fatten sheep, etc. The oil-cake
which is the refuse left at the mills
when the oil is expressed, is very
much used for feeding neat stock
and also for top dressing land. A
field Of rape sown in June or early
i'll July will furnish large amount
of nutritious food in September, Oc-
tober and November up to the time
of severe frost, and is admirably
adapted for finishing the tattening
of sheep after pasture has failed
from drouth or any other cause
BY having a large number Of well
grown plants in an extensive seed
bed, stubble ground may be plowed
and narrowed and MANFRED, and
the plants setsout Immediately after
harvest. 1t will furnish a large
quantity of excellent food before
winter. In some parts of the Unit
ed States rape stands the winter
well; in others it is damaged by
FROST Western Rurul.
