As the country has no reason to distrust
the sincerity OF Secretary Sherman in his
professed determination to execute the Re-
sumption law it would be churlish for the
advocates Of resumption to object to his
being accorded the facilities which he asks.
His responsible position has required him to
study the resumption question with moro
diligence and care than anybody else, and
lie has unequalled opportunities for
consultations with able bankers, fnan-
ciers and oil kinds of experts. II
he is not the best advised man in
the country on this subject 1t is his own
fault. The judgment of a responsible Min
lister of Finance is entitled to more weight
than that Of his irresponsible critics, who
give only q fugitive attention to the subject
and lack his means of information. The
Finance Committee Of the Senate has acted
wisely in conceding to him the three fore
going points. To this extent at least we
are constrained to indorse the proposed
substitute for the repeating bill Of the
House.

PROCESS TO REMOVE TREE
STUMPS.

A very simple process is employed
for freeing woodland newly brought
into cultivation from the stumps OF
trees. A hole about two inches in
diameter and eighteen inches il
depth is bored in the stump about au-
tumn, filed with a concentrated So
luton of saltpetre, and closed with a
plug. In the following spring a pint
or so of petroleum is poured into the
same hole and set on fire. During
the curse of the winter the saltpetre
solution has penetrated every portion
of the stump, so that not only this,
but also the roots are thoroughly
burnt out. The ashes are left il
on the spot, and form q valuable ma
nure.

MINNESOTA FLOUR IN EUROPE.

St. Paul, MINI, is entering the lists in the
rivalry of cities for the export trade of the
country. Agencies from this city have been
established in London, Glasgow and Liver
pool, for the sale Of Minnesota -four in Eu-
rope, shipped on through ocean bills of lad
ing to the final destination. The total
charge to pay on the other side is always
computed on the face of the bill in pounds,
shillngs and pence, making the document
at once equivalent to a bill of exchange, and
it is said that the attached draft Is often sold
in New York for more than its face value.
Thirty thousand barrels have thus been ship
ped direct from Minnesota during the past
two months, and the indications are that
much larger amount will be shipped in the
future, since this method is attended with an
important saving of the enormous handling
and commission charges at New York.

MONTANA WHEAT.


Gen. GibbOn furnishes the Hetena Herald
with the following analyses of Montana and
other wheat, as given by w. w. New, An
alytical Chemist Of the Washington Labora-
tory:
A comparison of the respective amounts
of nitrogenous matter and OF starch-the
two most important constituents of wheat
grain-shows, particularly as regards the
former substance, decided superiority of
the Montana sample, which, you will OBJ
serve, contains 1886 per cent. of nitrogenous
or flesh-forming matter, against 1927 per
cent for the sample in the bottle, and 1912
per cent. for the Minnesota sample, respect
lively. The latter contains an unusually
large proportion of woody fiber or celluiose.
This saInpleis little richer in nitrogenous
matter than the sample in the bottle, but the
latter is the richer of the two in starch.
Another observation which [ made shows
that the Montana sample is heavier than
either of the other, bulk for bulk. A con-
venient measure-250 cubic" eentimetres of
each-was weighed, giving the following
result:
Montana sample giving s55 grammes.
*Bottle S g S3S {"
Minnesota 8 sos
Itself valuable indication of the relative
value of the wheat. Lastly, the microsco-
pic examination, with a low power, shows
that the grains of the Montana sample We're
almost wholly, perfectly sound and pl,tmp /;
the sample in the bottle somewhat less so !;
while the Minnesota sample was decidedly
inferior to either in these respects.
There is no difficulty, therefore, indecid-
ing that the Montana sample is wheat of
unusually good quality superior to that i'll
the bottle. and very markedly superior to
the Minnesota sample.

TRANspLANT1NG HARDY VEGETABLES.

In transplanting lettuce, caulifiower, cab
bage, and all that class of plants, in the open
air, from the hot bed, care should be taken
to have them thoroughly weathered; that
is, rendered hardy by previous exposures to
the air for two or three weeks, so far as the
state of the weather will allow. Much of
the loss accruing from transplanting is oc-
casioned by neglect in this particular. In
buying plants of the dealer, be careful to
note that they be not of that peculiar green
color, denoting them to be forced, soft and
watery. If so, reject them, and select plants
which are duller in color, with thick, strong,
compact leaves. 1t is especially necessary
that this care be taken with tomato, pepper,
eggplant, and all that class especially sus-
ceptible to changes OF the weather.
Of hardy plants raised in gardens, cab
bage always finds a place. Not one in ten
land so the plants may be transplanted ear
fly. The consequence is that hot weather
comes on, and the result is a failure. This
is particularly true of cauliAower, and hence
the general neglect of this esculent, which
is one as easily raised as cabbage. To en-
sure fine tender curds they must get their
growth early in the season. Thus both cab
baee and caulitioWer may be raised with GER
tainty, and of tirs flavor.
The ground should be made very rich
with rotten manure, and if the rows have
some fine compost In addition, so much the
better. Plant both early cabbage and caul-
ifower two feet apart. Keep them hoed of
ten. and, when the buds of The cauliflower
begin to form, break some of the larger
leaves over the centre, and they will mature
crisp, white and. .telirates,.~'

THE all-absorbing question Of the hour is
Btbat of the grasshoppers. 1t is one OF great
Hnoment. not only to our farmers and busi-
mess men, but to every branch of industry

he will invest his earnings in the improve

their several vocations. If on the contrary,
Hhe farmer fails, the effect is felt throughout
every calling. The high prices Of bread

8pondency becomes widespread. What the
result of the season will be is hard to pre-

numbers in most Of Our valleys. and are do
6ng great damage. Some fields have been
moved down, and hungry horde lingef

spear that shoots forth from the ground.
Miut it is no worse than it has been in other
wears, when moderate good crops were
raised, from which we may safely calculate
IA partial success this year. Asit has been
Din past years, so it will be in this. Those
who wage an unceasing warfare, early and
Lite, will save some fields, while those who
Mo not will, without the slightest chance,
lose all. That 'hoppers may be successfully
#warred against is evident from the follow
ing from the Herald OF May IA:
n "Mr. Reeves, whose ranch is on the upper
#Prckly Pear, reports success in handling

and into these the insects jump, only to be

Lettuce may be planted out six inches

crowd, take out every other row for use,
and, again, alternate plants in the remain
ing rows. Thus your plants will stand

and moisture enough be given, they will en-

and remain in condition until quite late in

The most exciting race of the day was the
pacing race in which there were ten entries
and five to start. Flora was the favorite in
the start, even after Hawk took the first heat.
At the close OF the third heat there was a
change OF favoritism for; Fred Douglas, as he
was doing honest work against the drivers OF
Hawk and Flora. On the fourth heat Fred
Douglas set the crowd wild by winning a
q square race. 1t was so near dark that the
Judges postponed the race till Monday. They
were beseiged to give another heat, but would
not change their decision. 1t was though,
that Fred Douglas had earned the race by his
staying qualities, and that the others could
not keep up with him on account Of being
tagged out. But on Monday morning at 10
O'Clock he came down the track in fine condi.
