MANUREs.-It becomes pressing duty
on the farm, at this season, to devote
serious attention to the subject of fertilizers.
Do not go at the subject blindly. Study,
as we'll as you may, the requirements of
your land, and aim to supply its defcien-
cies through artificial channels. If you are
not at all sure as to what your land lacks,
which, alas is too often the case, compel
prejudice and custom to yield point, and
do little intelligent experimenting. Try
fertilizers of various constituent parts, but
be sure you know of what they are COM
posed, and are prepared to apply the ex-
perience gained to subsequent operations.
You will, no doubt, have to use some bone
super phosphate. Be careful to avoid ma
terials not strictly pure.-RuraLN Ns.0 Yorker.

GOLDEN MILLET.-This is an excellent
crop to be raised in all places where winter
provender is required and where the soils
are not adapted to grass growing. 1t is
sown in the spring, like oats, and will pro-
duce from two to four tons of hay to the
acre. 1t grows rapidly, and comes to
maturity in about three months from seed
ing. 1t contains large quantity of seeds,
as much as one hundred bushels of these
having been taken from an acre. With
orchard grass for pasture and the golden
millet for hay, the farmers on the lighter
soils Of the Peninsula may greatly increase
their stock of cattle and their dairy product.

THE PREsIDENTTAL FRAUD.
Yesterday's Action of the senator Matthews
and Potter Committees.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-The Senate Com
mittee having Senator Matthcws's case under
consideration held q meeting to-day. and
adopted resolution. which was subsequently
reported to the Senate and passed. calling upon
the House to furnish COPY Of the testimony Of
James T. Anderson. This was the only busl-
ness transacted by the Committee Four mem
bers only were present. and. being equally d.
vidcd politically. sevaral,other motions were not
acted upon. The purpose OF Senator Matthews.
II is understood. is to ask TO be examined as
soon as the testimony Of Anderson Is received
from the House. Anderson will not be sum-
moned rs witness.
The Potter Committee held a meeting to-day.
and decided to send a subcommittee TO Now
Orleans to complete some OF the work left un-
finished last July. when the subcommittee. Of
which Mr. Stenger was Chairman. had TO oave
on account Of the yellow ievor. Just when this
subcommittee will leave will not be determined
until after an appropriation has been obtained.
There was no allusion to the future work Of the
Committee which remains here. II was sup
posed that some action would be taken about
investigating the ,cipher telegrams. but they
Of tho Committee said that before they brought
ANYTHING TO the attention Of the Committee they
desired to consult among themselves. All OF
the pemQcratic mcmbcrs OF the Committee. ex-
cept Mr.. Potter. are disposed 10 insist upon an
inquiry into tho cipher despetches. but at the
suggestion OF tho Chairman nothing was said
on the subject to-day. IL being thought best to
see first what course the Republican NOM
lers OF the Committee would pursue Gen.
Butler. il If understood. has a purpose
oi his own In regard TO all these matters. and
when he reaches here will ask the Committee to
let him run the machine n little while. ono or

testimony OF James f. Anderson. will Of course
be referred to the Potter Committee. As Sena-
tor Matthews persistently refused TO obey the
summons Of the Potter Committee. and ns Gen.
Butler asked 10 have him presented 10 the bar
