XIV CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
SENATE.

Mr.. Hamlin, from the Committee
on Foreign Relations, reported ad-
yersely on House joint resolution in
relation to the expenditures at the
Paris Exposition, and it was indef-
initely postponed. At 1 o'clock the
Senate went into Executive session.
The Executive session was for the
consideration of the New York
Custom House nominations. The
President sent an additional mes
sage to the Senate, accompanied by
letter to him from the Secretary
of the Treasury, reiterating the as
sertions that the public interests re-
quired change in the administra-
ton of the New York Custom
House. The President insists that
the late Collector and Naval officer,
made it a centre of partisan, politi-
cal management.

Butter Making.

" If | have made a discovery, or il
everybody knew it before me 4 will tel
it all the same. As soon as the cream
shows signs Of coming pour into the
churn two or three quarts Of water-as
near ice-cold rs it is possible to get
and the butter will gather great deal
quicker and come hard and firm. Itried
the cold water (ice-water) on the start
and found it made the cream too cold
and kept the butter from coming; but
put i'll at the last end it is capital idea
and will save hours Of churning in the
course of the season. Butter will come
in fifteen or twenty minutes, as a rule,
if the cream is in the right condition and
temperature. \ cool cellar is cool
enough to start the churning, and as
near right rs most farmers can get it
without thermometers and ice, and cold
well-water will lower the temperature
for gathering. The temperature of our
cellar is 81 degrees, and the butter I'M
variably comes quick, with the the kelp
Of the cold water, which is probably
two degrees colder.
When the cream stands too long on the
milk before skimming the butter will
not come so quickly and it is always
poorer, and such butter will not keep
well. This is one reason, and the main
one, why there is so much rancid butter.
Better churn oftener and have good
sweet butter, and skim oftener also. -

Fertilizers for Fruit Trees.

l find that lime, wood ashes and old
iron, put around the roots of declining
fruit trees, have Il very beneficial effect
These fertilizers restore the tree to a
healthy condition and also greatly i'm
prove the fruit in quality and quantity
L made the application on a Windsap
and Never Fail, about half bushel of
mixed lime and ashes to each. and dug
1t in with a hoe some six feet around
the trunk, and put the old iron imme-
diately around the base of each.
The trees put forth with renewed
vigor, bloomed abundantlv, and Welded
a good cropt of fruit. An excellent
wash for trees may be made thus: Heat
an ounce of sal-soda to redness in an
iron pot, and dissolve it in one gallon
of water, and while warm apply it to
the trunk. After one application the
moss and old bark will drop off, and the
trunk Will be quite smooth. The wash
has highly recuperative properties, max
ing old trees bear anew.
have tried sott-soap rs Il wash with
good results, and also coating of lime
in the spring season, which is fine
specific for old trees. The question Is
the fall or spring? Ihave found the sum-
mer season to be a good time; have
much faith in mulching, especially young
trees, for several seasons after they are
planted. Apple trees are said to have
two growths during the season. The
secondary growth takes place after mid
summer, hence it is that a top dressing
ofgood manure, and also coarse litter,
facilitates the late growth, and often
produces very marked results in the
habit and formation of the tree. The
good effect that mulching has on young
trees is, that it wards off the intense
heat of the sun from the tender roots,
and also has tendency to hold moisture.
A good top-dressing of stable manure in
the fall, around young trees, with a good
many corn cobs cast over the surface of
the soil, gives satisfactory results.

Where Does Dew Come From P

American Agriculturist.
The general belief is that the soil OBJ
tains water from the air at night by alb
sorption and condensation to such an
extent as to be of the utmost agricul-
tural value" and that in times of
drought this moisture of the air invigo-
rates and sustains plants which other
wise would perish. The observations
OF Professor Stockbridge show the soil,
from May to November, both at the sur
face and five inches deep, to be warmer
than the air; it is hardly possible that
the moisture on the surface in the morn
ing was deposited from the air. A
more reasonable conclusion is that the
vapor which rises from the surface is
condensed as it comes in contact with
the colder air. The phenomenon of So
called sdew fall" is usully attributed to
the supposed fact that soil and plants
are colder than the air at night, and so
condense its moisture in the form of
dew" The ''dew" on the ice pitcher
is the common illustration to prove the
the theory; but, as we have seen, the
conditions in this. case are the. reverse
of those with soil and plant, which are
both warmer than the air at night,
while the ice pitcher is colder. Further
investigations were made in the study
of this question. H

Cotton-seed for Cows.
