Lower Rate Of Boud Interest.

WASHINGTON, December o.-There is a
good deal OF discussion here in the Treas.
ury and financial circles, Jas 10 the practica,
bility Of taking up the balance Of the six.
percent bonds now outstanding, and is.
suing in lieu thereof four-per.cent bonds.
No skies are due. They would have to be
purchased in the open market. The point
considered is whether the premium nee.
essHrily paid would not neutralize the gain
from lower interest It is the prevailing
belief among members ofthe Ways and
Means Committee that the credit Of the
Government is now good enough to float
three.and.a.half per cent loan. There
has been one or two informal interviews
with Secretary Sherman on the subject.
II the Fives and Skies outstanding conll
be funded into three,aud-a-half per cents,
It would cause SO large a reduction Of the
interest, that the Government would be
justified in paying considerable premium
for them. A sixty.year bond, bearing
three and half per cent interest has been
suggested. 1t Is noted as popularity Of
Government bonds that the longer thew
have to run the better they are.

The expression OF satisfaction on

to an interrogatory Of General Adams.

ter Peeuit was the Indian who took Mrs,
Price prisoner, and who claimed to hor
that he was an uncompaghnie Ute. He
never met the Mormons personally, but
knew those who had, to whom the pro.
position was made to furnish arms and
ammunition.
General Hatch's theory, that the Fight
between the Indians and the soldiers was
an accident, was clearly proven. The In.
dians had left the main road to avoid the
soldiers, aud II Thornburg had kept the
main road he would have reached the
agency unmolested.
The Commission will probably On
Saturday demand the surrender OF the
twelve indians engaged in the agency

out the demand and a lively Indian fight
may be witnessed by the @ Commission.

Fall PloWig.

The better preparation ofthe ground
the better the crop. The high average
yield of the English farms is no douot
largely due to the thorough preparation
of the ground before seeding. Our
climate is superior to thatof England
for wheat growing; yet . yield OF
sixty four bushels per acre is not at
ali unfrequent among farmers there,
while here forty bushels per acre is an
unusual yield. Two plowings, several
harrowings, and in many cases, rolling
or crushing, and the excellent prepare
ton of the soil by previous root crop,
must have much better effect upon
the soil than one blowing, very poor>
" done, because of the hardness and
dryness of our soil in midsummer,
and very imperfect narrowing. 1t
might be well for us to lay out more
labor on our VIII at crop, and SO pre-
pare the ground better, and raise our
average fromtwelve to at least twenty
bushels per acre. The difference, in
the amount of wheat at harvest would
pay for good deal Of extra work in
blowing, ect., and yet leave profit |;
besides the soil would not forget the
generous treatment in one year nor
two. a@#e -9~-

Care of Pasture.

Very many pastures in the West,
especially new and thiniy seeded ones.
become overgrown late In the summer
with weeds that have found lodge
ment, or are left by stock. They are
not only unsightly, but if allowed to
remain they continually reseed the land
When these occnr, q mower, better q
reaper, should be run over the land
before they become too hard, and the
whole taken off when dried and burned
Weeds are especially found where the
land has been seeded TO timothy and
clover, the only pasture we are sorry
TO say in many parts OF the West.
The reason of this probably is that
the fields are seeded for moving and
subsequently used for pasture. Many
farmers are gradually getting per-
manent pastures thickly seeded with
a variety of grasses. Now is the time
for seeding to all but red clover, and
this legume should be used sparingly
in pasture. If the young pasture 10
l,gltly mulched Ethe first winter either
at the time of sowing or Immediately
after it freezes upso much better for
the grass, and if cut over the first
season for hay, and then passured
during the late summer and fall With
colts, calves and sheep, the soil will
then become so firm ss to bear heavier
stock. -Pralrie Farmer. ~ $50

Mr.. T., a farmer at Irving, Iowa,
writing in the Prairie Farmer,
takes the correct position about the
fertilizing effects of clover with
timothy ''Many farmers in that
vicinity have meadows en-
tirely : seeded with timothy
and on inquiring it is found
their yield was but little over half
as much as those seeded with both
timothy and red clover. 7d When
the hay was taken of, the meadows
looked brown and bare, while those
seeded with clover at once put on a
lively green. Experience proves
that where the two are mixed the
timothy is fine and thehay is easily
handled, white timothy alone grows
coarse and stiff and is hard to pitch.
Meadows seeded with both grasses,
improve from year to year, while
those seeded with timothy alone
soon become sod bound and have to

be plowed up. IF the timothy is
cut after the seed begins to fall the
meadow is worthless for fall pasture.
Again, pastures are seeded down
with red clover and timothy
and after they are well set,
nature is left to take les course. In
three or four years the red clover
has died out and white clover and
blue grass taken its place. A pas;
ture should be well seeded with
clover every other year, and sown
without being hulled if possible.
The hull holds the moisture and
helps to terminate. 1t can be sown
any time in the winter, but it is
better sown on a light snow in
March. Farmers should look into
this clover business closer. ~

The other day, as . farmer near
Louisiana, Mo-, was cutting down q
white oak tree twenty -four inches, in
diameter. he came across an oak pin
about an inch in diameter, which had
been driven into an auger hole. On
getting the pin out he found in the au-
ger hole lock of a woman's hair, of
a beautiful auburn color, in perfect
preservation, and between twelve and
fourteen inches in length. The pin and
the hair were covered over with at

tree, but no one knows who was the
