TENDER OF SILVER.
Mr. SHERMAN called up the bill amend the laws
atng TO the legal tender of silver CON- and moved TO
strike all after the enactng clause and amend by
inserting Tho silver of the United States except
the trade dollar shall be legal tender at their nominal
value for any amount not exceeding IS any pay
ment" He said the only change Is to make the
silver coins OF the country except trade dollars legal
tenders.
Mr.. JONES' rep) OF New said tho object Of the bill
was 10 enable the citizens Of tho Pacific States to
transact business without embarrassment He said
that subsidiary coin could only be purchased with gold
while silver bullion could be purchased with gold, and
then by taking 1t to the mint they could get coined
into the trade door, in other words, the trade
dollar could be purchased with SILVER bullion, while
they must have gold to purchase subsidiary CON- such
us halves quarters, &c, which they needed Tor
change The result was that the subsidiary coin be-
came degraded 10 the trade dollar" This would neces-
sary be so until gold ana SILVER pass concurrenty IL
resulted from the lack OF uniformity In coinage The
passage OF the bill would remedy the matter by pre-
venting the trade dollar from being legal tender.

Fall Flowing.


Without celebrating the manyA strong
points in favor Of fall blowing. Il few Of the
more prominent benefits may be briefly sta
| ted as follows:
l. August and September is good time
to turn over bound-out sod land and manure
and re-seed it at once to grass. obtaining a
crop OF the following year.
2. October and November is an excellent
time to break up sod land for planting the
following spring n.
3. The weather is then cool and bracing,
and the team strong and hearty for the
work; while the weather in spring is more
relaxing and team less able; and spring
work being always hurrying, it saves time to
dispatch rs much OF the blowing as possible
during the previous autumn. Il.
4. Sod land broken up in autumn will be
quite free from growing grass the following
spring, the roots of the late overturned
sward being so generally killed by the i'm
mediatey succeeding winter that not much
grass will readily start in the spring.
5. The frost OF winter disintegrate the
plowed land, so that it readily crumbles in
fine particles in spring. and deep, mellow
seed bed is easily made. The chemical
changes and notifications resulting from at
mospherc action during the winter, develop
latent fertility in the uptprEed burrows.
which, together with the mellowing influ-
ences. materially increases the crop.
6. Most kind Of insects are either wholly
destroyed, or their depredations materially
checked by late fall blowing; especially the
common white grub, and the cut worm.
&. Corn stubble land may be plowed late
in fall and thus be all ready for very early
sowing in spring, thereby going far to insure
a good catch of grass; the roots Of the rev
seediag getting hold well, or being we'll es-
tablished before the droughts of summer
come OH. fA SA
s. Most land in New England needs deep
er blowing than has been practiced. Where
the subsoil is fine grained, and unctious and
close, or where there is q hard pan of good
quality. deep blowing may be at once re-
the subsoil is poorer, the blowing may still
an inch at each new breaking up. But in by
far majority of cases, deep blowing may be
prscticed at once,-indeed, it may be the
rule, with safety, while shallow blowing
may be the exception. Plow, say nine, ten
or eleven or twelve inches in November.
The sub-sol turned up will grow several
shades darker by spring. The frosts and at
mospheric influences of winter will mellow
the soil, the inorganic elements and all lat
ent fertility will be made more active for
benetiting the crop. In spring spread the
manure and pillow it in, or otherwise work it
in Or mlngle it with the soil to the depth say
four or five inches, or little more or less,
and you have the very best attaiEable condi-
ton for realizing good crops. Deeper plow-
ing may thus be practiced than would at all
times be safe or eXpedient, if the blowing is
delayed till spri2g.-lNdss. Ploughman.

The Economist Crate is one that will recon-

the advantages of an open Crate, placed in any
ordinary fire place, without the trouble of brick

additional advantage in being adjusted better to
