The benefits of green manuring, with

shown by a correspondent OF the Ohio
Farmer. The field had been in corn
for fourteen years and was completely

buckwheat, which was plowed under

rye, which was plowed under the follow
ing spring, and the land planted to corn.
The yield of corn was very good. Three
years after a portion of the land was

On land adjoining, that had not received

wheat was only q ,,an bushels per acre.

The Best Remedy Known To Man !

Farm Hints.

Farm HINTS
To cure scah in sheep, rub it with
plain petroleum with a sponge three
times q week. Dogs can be cured of
mango in the same way.
In cultivating sweet potatoes do not
let the vines root at the joints, as nu-
merous small potatoes will form there at
the expense Of large ones.
Land laid down with clover ia better
than moreyin bank, drawing more in
terest than any bank can pay and COM
pounding the interest o%ftener.
For q kicking horse fill an old sack
with hay and suspend it from the loft
by meal Of a rope, in such a manner
that the horse will be able to kick it
every time it swings against him. Let
hlE kick until he stops of his own ac-
cord, and you will have no more trouble
with him that way.
Cows that have access to water at all
times will drink often, but little at the
time, and return to their feeding.
Cows deprived Of a sufficient supply Of
water fail in milk and flesh, and when
they are allowed to fail, it is almost
impossible to bring them back to their
proper yield of milk and condition Of
flesh, at least without extra expense and
trouble.
In selecting al animal for breeding
or fattening, obtain n having a large
chest-the part containing the lungs,
heart and the larger blood vessels, all
of which have an important function to
perform in the process of nutrition. 1t
is well known among cattle men that
animals with small chests do not fatten
readily, and they are remarkably sus-
ceptible to the influence of exciting
causes of disease.

about two inches long, green tomatoes,
ears OF sweet corn about the size of the
cucumbers, a dozen small white onions,
some pods Of string beans and the ten
der pods Of the radish, four or five small
green peppers and some bits of horse
radish root; all of these soaked over
night in a weak brine; drain through n
colander and pack in a two-quart can

ENGLISH GINGER BEER.-Pour four
quarts of boiling water on one-and.a-
half ounces of ginger, one cream
of tartar, n pound brown sugar, and
two lemons sliced thin; put in two gills
yeast and let ferment t~wenty-four hours,
then bottle. 1t improves to keep q few

Il very nice beverage.
Learned by Experience.
II your coal FIRE is low, throw on q
tablespoonful Of salt, and it will help it
very much. A little ginger put into
sausage meat improves flavor. In icing
cakes dip the knife frequently into cold
water. In boiling meat for soup, use
cold water to extract the juices. II the
meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge
into boiling water at once. You can
get a bottle OF barrel of oil off any car.
pet of wooden stuff by applying dry
buckwheat plentifully and faithfully
never put water to such a grease spot,
orliquid of any kind. Broil steak with
out sailing; salt draws the juices in
cooking; it is desirable to keep these in
if possible; cook over q hot fire, turning
frequently, soaring on both sides; place
on a platter; salt and pepper to taste.
Beef having a tendency to be tough can
be made very palatable by stewing
gently for two hours, with pepper and
salt, taking out about a pint of the
liquid when half done, and letting the
rest boil into the meat. Brown the meat
in the pot. After taking up make O
gravy of the pint Of liquor saved. A
small piece of charcoal in the pot with
boiling cabbage removes the smell.
Clean oilcloths with milk and water; a
brush and soap will ruin them. Tumb.
lers that have had milk in them should
never be put in hot water. A spoonful
of stewed tomatoes put in the gravy OF
either roasted or fried meats is an i'm
%provement. The skin of a boiled egg is
tho most eficacious remedy that can be
applied to a boil. Peel il carefully, wet
and apply it to the part affected. 1t
will draw off the matter and relieve the
oreness in q few hours.

IBl TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEL
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Representatve House.
chairman of the Democratic caucus, appointed the
following committee to-day TO confer with the Cau-
Gus Committee of the Senate i'll regard to the
order of business during the extra session ::
Mr.. Chalmers Miss, chairman; Mr.. Carlisle (kyb
Mr.. Cox (N. ". General Ewing Ohio, Mr. Springer
mll, Mr.. Tucker Val Mr.. Atkins TENN. Mr.. ely
mer uenn.) Mr.. Reagan Tex, Mr.. Blcknell und.l
and Mr.. Phelps Comm
The committee held meeting to-day but did
not complete its business. An Interchange Of views
took place, showing differences of opinion. The
committee will meet again tomorrow at / a. m.
with the Senate Committee, and the expectation
now IS that some plan of proceeding will be agreed
upon and reported to the caucus of each house
early next week.
Mr. Chalmers, chairman Of the House Committee,
thinks that some compromise can be reached in re-
gard to the election laws. He does not think it
necessary to repeal them, nor does he consider 1t
best. but he insists that they ought to be modi
fed as to give citizens what he calls a
free election where it shall not be possible to make
arrests until the next day after the voting is com
Melted. lie thinks that all committees of the
House should be at once appointed in order that the
busipcs, should 20 on. He believes that Congress
should attend closely TO work as long rs the
weather here will allow, and should remain in
session at least until the 10th or 10Th Of June
Nr. Chalmers says that it will he evidence
Of weakness and cowarlce on the part
of the Democracy if that party declines 10
undertake regular legislative business since it will
ne only another way of saying to the country that
rs 2 party, they are afraid to assume the RESPONSE
bilites laid upon them for fear they will make
grave mistakes.
At the close Of the late session of Congress the
opiuion was expressed by the regular correspondent
of TIE TRIBUNE at Washington that the
extra session was not made necessary
by the Democrats because of their desire to
repeal the election laws as much as on account
of their determination to get immediate control OF
the Senate offices, and to enter upon the business
of legislation. The whole drift of events
during the past four days of the session
seems to confirm this judgment. Democrats OF
every shade of opinion seem to be pre-
parlng to back down from the position assumed
during the closing hours of the late Congress, and
there Is now good reason to believe that in the end
they Will abandon all attempts to force upon
the statute books any political Legislation
which the President cannot consistently approve
aud that they will adjourn the extra session of
Congress without accomplishing anything in this
direction which they could not have accomplished
ON he last day of the late session.
