Special Telegraphic Correspondence of the
COurier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, May 8-To-night
the President has reached different
conclusion on the repeal bill that has
passed the house and is before the
senate. The day it was introduced in
the house he distinctly stated to seve-
raj persons that he would sign the bill,
expressing the hope that the Republi-
cans in congress would not oppose it..
Since then the stalwarts have been
camping with him. Zach Chandler has
been the main factor in securing the
change of base. The President puts
great trust in him to harmonize the
Republican party, and therefore yields
greatly to his wishes. To-day Mr..
RObeson argued the point with him,
and stalwarts from the capitol have
been with the attorney general con
cocting a veto message that will re-
lieve Hayes from what he admits is a
serious predicament, caused by the
wording of his late message, which
committed him to bill of the char
acter to be presented to him. Ed
munds has the floor for tomorrow,
and will be followed by all the stall
warts, who Chandler says must make
"rattling speeches to recover the
ground lost by Hayes weakness Of the
past few days"

"Sow early,' has not and probably new
or will fail to be the true maxim for farmers.
In the experience of a lifetime we have
never seen it fail, and have urged it every
spring since the commencement of the HUs-
BANDMAN and the universal verdict of all
who have tried it thus far is that it is good.
Grain cannot be sown too early after the
ground gets in order. In Montana, fall
powed or summer-fallowed lands are suffi-
GENTLY dry for sowing before the frost is
out. Spring wheat, especially, should be
gotten into the ground at the earliest posi-
bic moment. for the reason that the grain
grows heavier and thicker, and stands bet
ter chance to escape the ravages of the
grasshopper. Italso requires less irrigation,
ripens earlier, and may often be marketed
before a late sowing is ready for the sickle
Oats and barley should also be put in early.
There are no grasshopper deposits this year
to send forth hord of destroyers upon the
young crops. The only thing to be feared
from this pest are the immigrants, and the
earlier grain is put in the better chance it
will have to escape.
1t is not only necessary to put grain in
early, but the garden should go in early as
we'll. In many localities where gardening
is attempted the seasons are short at best,
and early planting is indispensable if we
expect to produce well matured vegetables.
The tickle aspect of the skys, the weather
bright. sunshine interspersed with clouds
and showers, indicate the spring is near.

HOUSES FoR GROWN FOWLS.

very simple and handy mode to yentil-
ate the hennery is to leave a good-sized
opening in the gable-ends of the fowl-house,
say or 10 or II inches square, with a slid
ing screen or board inside the house, with
which these holes may be closed in very cold
nights, to keep out frost. AT any time of
the year, in the middle OF the day. these
apertures may be opened fol three hours,
for ventilating the premises. Or, the means
of ventilation may be similarly arranged at
the center or at both extremes of the build
ing at the peak of the roof, through one or
more regular cupola-shaped ventilators. In
some way ventilation is absolute necessity.
And poultrymen who contine their choice
fowls in close quarters in winter, will find
that ii they give this important matter due
consideration, they will have less disease,
and moping, and lassitude among their fowl
flocks after they are shut up or the season,
than they have usually met with, through
neglecting this vital provision.
The interior of the house may be very
simply and economically arranged. All that
is needed withia the building is a roomy

and occasionally scattered about the floor of
the house, whenever you detect old hens IL,
the habit of breaking and devouring the
natural eggs. We have found the very best
way to prevent the disposition of egg-eaters
from indulging in this annoying habit, is to
have the nests darkened in some way, or
the passage leading to the nests thus shad-
owed, so that when the eggs are deposited,
those that are inclined to eat them will be
unable to see them clearly. IT the glass,
plaster or wooden eggs be laid around the
outside and inside the nests also. the breeder
will have little or no trouble from this oft
complained-of nuisance among laying hens.

THE FARMEE'S BEST FRIEND.

The inventor helps the farmer, not mere
ly in deyising time saving and labor saving
means for getting in and harvesting his
crops; not merely in perfecting means Of
communication by which the most distant
markets are made accessible, and the cost of
transportation SO reduced as to give value
to the surplus products of the most secluded
tarm; not merely in multiplying and cheap
ening the comforts and lnxuries of the farm
er's home. but still more in making home
markets for the farms productions, and
thus preventing the steady drain upon the
resources of the soil incident to the expcr-
tation of raw products.
AS the Chicago Inter Ocean observes:
mature is a bountiful giver, but she re-
quires that what is taken from the ground
by the processes of vegetation shall be re-
paid with equivalents in the shape OF ma
nures. For lack of paying that debt, she
Furnishes the farmer with increasing sterili-.
ty of the soil. We, therefore, have seen the
richest wheat fields retire from the state of
New York and take position in Ohio, Illl-
nois, Indiana and Michigan, then leave these
localities for Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa, whence they are making ready to take
their flight to Nebraska, Kansas and Colo

RADIO. In many places Of the west the yleld
of wheat has permanently fallen from 20,
so, or 25 bushels an acre down to u, 10. or
agrculturist pays tor exporting the vegeta-
tive constituents Of his land. Only where
the produce of the fields is consumed in
their neighborhood can the waste of con-
sumption be applied to maintain fertility,
otherwise the loss is constant and sure.
The waste of consumption is always in
proximity to the fields when manufacture
ing industry, widely diversified and devel-
oped, is in proximity also. 1t is for this
reason that the thorough establishment Of
manufactures always precedes scientific
agriculture and a highly prosperous condi-
ton of the farming classes. Poor lands
will make farmers poor. Manufactures
help to keep the lands rich, and to improve
those which are less fertile"
The inference is that, as tariff protection
multiplies all branches of manufactures,
that policy must be conducive to the welfare
of farmers, and should receive their ener-
getic and unwavering support. But this is
not the only inference that is warranted by
the facts of the case.
During the past twenty years the farmers
of the west have been enormously benefit
ed by the increase of home markets due to
the rapid extension of manufactures through
out the great agricultural states. By far
the larger part Of the manufacturing indus
try of those states is based on and made
possible by recent inventions. Without
such inventions the west could do little
manufacturing. Without them the millions
of consumers lately added to the non-agri-
cultural portion Of western communities
would have remained in the east, or in En-
rope, whittier the western farmers crops
would have had to 60 to find market, his
profits diminished by the cost of transpor
tation, and the strength of his land decreas-
ed by the elements carried away. Yet,
strange to say, the representatives in Con-
gress of communities which inventors have
made possible, professedly acting in accord
ance with the wishes of their constituents,
have directly and strenuously assailed the
system which, more than anything else
more, probably, than all things else together
has been the handspring Of recent inven-
ton. 1t has ma de the American people
those by adoption as well as those of native
birth-a race of inventors, and the farmers
of the west have been benefited thereby
more than any other part of the community,
yet their representatives say that the patent
system is injurious !-Scie,atyfc american.
