Economy In Congress.

WASHINGTON, II. e., Jan. 22.-The
boosted democratic economy of the
last session, under the revelations Of
the needed deficiency bills, has grown
rapidly less. At the close of the H.

place of $2S,0OO,OOO or $50, zoo, 600
claimed. Three and half millions
of this was the saving in interest,
with which the House had nothing
to do. One and q half millions was
on account of Bristow's reduction OF
the Custom House expenses, and sub
sequent deficiency bills will make .
still further reduction of nearly S..
600, 600, thus leaving the total Of the
democratic economy little over So
100000. Even this has seriously Grip
pied several branches of the public
service, and the democrats them.

Our neighbors at Aeencv Citv !

Our neighbors at Agency City have
been having very interesting law
suit, which promises to cost
somebody something in the end.
The trouble commenced over bal
ance of two dollars on settlement, the
small matter growing all the while,
finally got into the local courts, mag
nified perhaps by interested parties,
until five jury trials have taken place.
Once settlement was effected but
was broken up on account of the two
dollars in question. Another trial is
set for the 9Th of February, when
perhaps the much yexed question
may be settled. We are reliably in
formed that the costs so far, not in
Guiding attorneys fees, is about $17O.
The affair may at last get into the
District or Circuit Courts and then
where will it end.

Wheat Raising,

Mr.. EDITOR IL wish to say word
to the farming community about
farming. Now is the time to sow
your wheat you that intend to SOW
on fall breaking and on corn ground,
also if the frost is out sufficient and
the ground in good order you may
not have another time as good for
the work this season. Further do not
put this work of longer than the first
of March, at farthest. Ifyop can not
SOW your wheat this month do not
put it off longer than the first of next
month on the account of wet weather.
Ifit by that time is too wet too harrow,
SOW your wheat and let it rain, sow
without narrowing l have had
seventy bushels of wheat sown on
the ground at one time and none of
it narrowed in, and part of it never
was narrowed. When harvest came
l could not tell from the wheat which
had been narrowed. This may seem
strange to you but try it once and
you will never regret it. Wheat
does not want to be in the ground too
deep, the shallower the better SO it is
covered up, and if you put it off till
the first of March and it keeps on
raining your wheat does not need
narrowing. Sow it. Ifyou do not
SOW you cannot reap. You can just
as well raise wheat here as they can
in other sections Of the country. But
you must SOW it, and SOW it in time.
If you will follow my directions you
will have wheat to sell and keep.
Please try it will you, for this coun-
try needs crop of wheat sure.
