Mr.. Sou1HARp, dcm) Of Ohio to strike out the first

the belief that ninety centsa gallon high as could

only increase the paralysis OF business throughout the
country. After thorough study Of the appropriation
bills lie believed that the House wanted economy the
appropriation bills might be reduced least $40

given to the next Congress- and that the Congress
would reduce the Appropriation bills to the extent of
$3,o0aoo0 without any legitimate function Of the gov

thought there would be reduction OF $4OoooOo on bills

Mr.. RANDALL said he did MOI, but that the Naval An.
preparation bill about $O,o0j,1Jo higher than IL
ought TO be.
Mr.. Smith also asked Mr.. Randall as an old para.
mcntarian how the bills already passed upon could be
reduced.
Mr.. RANDALL did not expect that they could be- But
the sundry Civil Appropriation bill could be largely
reduced and the Army Appropriation bill and the Def
cheney bill could be omitted altogether and the River

twelve months and then there would be no necessity

Of giving II another fatal stab by the imposition OF un.

Mr.. DAWES rcpl of Mass. agreed with Mr.. Randall
that that point OF taxation should be sought which
would secure faithful collection Of the revenue. but

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

At meeting OF the Board Of Trade yesterday q
memorial Was agreed to and ordered 70 be trans.
mitted to Congress, asking that the contract with
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to carry the
mails between California and China and Japan be
not cancelled or revoked by Congress. This re-
quest is placed on the ground that the steamers
OF the company are well adapted for the trade
with eastern Asia and for transporting the mails,
and in case OF necessity would be serviceabe for
war purposes, and that to discontinue the SUBJ
sidy for carrying the mails would be TO take the
steamers from That line and withdraw American
shipping from the Pacific, thus InjurinG alike
American commerce and our manufacturing aud
agricultural Industries.

The Most Profitable Crops.

We are frequently asked for information
about the most profitable crops for a
farmer to cultivate. Sometimes these
questions come from localities with which
we are personally familiar, but in ma
jority Of instances they do not; hence it
would be folly for us to attempt to give
advice. We can readily understand why
farmer in Iowa or in State distant from
our seaboard markets should feel inter
ested in knowing how some farmers near
the latter can afford to pay one or two
hundred dollars per acre for farms and
still make the investment profitable. Such
things are done, however, butthey are not
every day transactions, and, although the
opportunities are abundant enough, the
men capable of carrying enterprises of
that kind to a successful termination are
somewhat scarce.
But man to he successful as a farmer
anywhere must not only know which are
| the most profitable crops to raise, but how
to produce them. Wheat may be profit.
able crop when thirty to forty bushels per
acre can be produced, and very unprofit-
able one with yield of only fifteen to
twenty. 80. 49, a."
Profits, as rule, appear in our farm &C.
counts after all expenses in the production
of crop are paid, hence the aim should
always be to exceed cost as much as posi-
ble.: II costs as much to pillow, harrow
and otherwise cultivate and seed an acre
of poor land as it does one that is rich
hence the importance Of keeping the soil
rich if you wish to obtain large or small
profits. Every farmer should keep this
point in mind, and then he can readily
estimate how much of his life is wasted in
working land which barely pays the ex-
penses in the crops produced. OF course
we do not advise abandoning poor land
and seeking rich in some other locality,
ifother circumstances are favorable, such as
agreeable surroundings and good markets
near at hand, because fertility can general
ly be secured much more readily than the
other conditions named. s, ' Il, I'M .5..' 49,
