The report of the committee appoint
ed to investigate alleged delinquencies
in the Treasury Department is before
the country. 1t is not such document
as will increase National pride, or ele-
vate the views of official life. The re-
port is 3 story ofwicsedness and crime.
1t revels in petty larcenies. and official
corruption. 1t shows that 81 stematic
robbery pervades all departments OF
the great financial bureau of the Gov
eminent, and that men entrusted with
the highest official duties have stopped
to be common pillagers of the money
committed to their care. 1t shows that
the National revenues have been de-
voted to petty uses. and employed in
private debaucheries and the extraea-
gances of men engaged in political
schemes and plansfor personal advance
ment. The report does not show that
the money was, taken outright, and
boldly applied to the personal expendi-
lures Of those who handled it, but that
it was taken as the embezzeler and the
thief takes it. through false entries and
by means of corrupt devices. These
are the acts of trickster. They are the
methods OF the sharper. But the report
derives is greatest significance from
the fact that their pilferings were
done at time when the Score
tary of the Treasury was q candidate
before the Republican nominating
Convention for the Presidency. The
report suggestively remarks that the
lunches were supplied just previous
to the assembling Of the Chicago Con
vention. 1t does not tell us who were
the guests, nor the extent OF the bill o.
fare, but the inference is broadly made
that the lunch played part in the Sec
retary's aspirations for the highest
honor in the gift of the people. The
circumstance is noticeable from thu
fact that it is the first time in politics
when campaign funds were supplied

possibly urgent necessity to extenuat'
! his crime, but it is strange innovation
when a candidate for the Presidenc..
adopts equivalent methods to econo
mise his campaign finances.
That these acts of malfeasance coul'
not have escaped the Secretary's atten
ton is evident from the uses to whicl
they were put. The Custodian Of tn
Treasury did not steal for himself bu

RHUBARB,

This is the earliest garden product for
the table, coming even before asparagus
generally, and is best when the growth is
youngest. As it is as easy to raise as any
thing can be, no garden, however limited,
should be without it. Fresh beds may vet
be set out, and in doing so, a portion of the
root must be used with small bit of tie
crown. This will afford a crop the ensuing
year. In planting the seed it will requirs a
year longer. A well-prepared bed will last
for many years, by being covered with
manure late in the autumn and forking it
in the spring. The stalks are tenderer by
removing the seed sprouts as fast as they
make their appearance, and the roots are
stronger. Germantown Telegraph.

FOWL CHOLERA.

The Department of Agriculture has late.
ly issued an important circular concerning
the disease known as cholera, which con
tains explicit information concerning the
character Of the malady and its treatment
The suggestions may also be of value in the
handling of some other poultry diseases
which are liable to spread through the
docks by contagion. DR.. d. E. Salmon,
one of the u. S. Commiss toner's on animal
diseases. is the author of the circular, from
which we quote as follows:
| although the cholera of fowls is an ex-
ceedingly virulent and fatal disease, destroy
ing vast numbers of birds of different spe-
cies, and remaining on premises for years
after being once introduced, we are salts
| fed, after a series of experiments, that
| there are points in its natural history which
enable us to control it with comparative
ease and with considerable degree of Ger
tainty. These points are:
/. The virus is not ditfusible, that is, the
disease germs are seldom if ever taken by
the air and carried any considerable dis
tance to produce the malady. The virus
remains in the fixed form, and is generally,
if not always, taken into the body with tie
food; it is distributed over the grounds,
feeding pieces, ETC., in the excrement Of af-
tected birds, and the food, drink and gravel
are thus contaminated. Healthy birds may
be kept in coops within few feet of the
OF the sick ones for months without con
tracing the disease but if the former are
now placed in the same enclosure with the
latter they sickan in a few DAYS.
2 The virus must be carried upon the
grounds frequented by fowls before they
contract the disease.-lt is not probable
that this disease originates in any consider
able number Of cases, in any other way than
by contagion. There is a possibility that it
may originate in occasional instances by fl
thy surroundings, if closely confined, or by
feeding on decomposing substances; but
there are few facts to support such a con-
clusion, and it appears certain that in the
vast majority of cases the disease is imporu
and kept up by contagion alone.
1t is thus brought upon farms either Q)
with sick and injected fowls newly acquired;
(2), with the blood Or parts OF the bodies of
dead birds, carried on the feet OF people or
brought by dogs or other animals: (3), with
infected manure or feathers; or (I), posi-
bly, by wild birds, ANIMALS, (rabbils), or even
insects that have contracted the disease or
have eaten the blood or bodies of affected

EARLY TURNIPs.

The earliest and perhaps the best variety
of turnip tor table use, is the Early Flat
Dutch. 1t is universally popular, and it
takes only small plot to furnish supply
for medium-sized family. One reason
why they so frequently fail in gardens, is
the richness of the soil and their frequent
growing in the same bed. In preparing a
plot for turnips dig down full spade deep.

The wheat farmers Of England, accord
ing to late advices. are greatly discouraged
at the competition with this country and
the untavora BILE weather which has of late
seriously impeded agricultural work. So
many farms all over the country are tenant
less, that even should the weather hence
forth prove propitous, considerable di-
minution in farm crops seems inevitable
A single landlord in Essex, one of the lead
ing wheat-producing counties, has over TO-
600 acres of land for which he can find no
cultivators, and great deal of slovenly
farming is complained of. Landowners
are still making deductions in rent to their
leaselold tenants, and are ready to rent
their unoccupied lands at considerably low
er figures than they were formerly willing
to accept On this account, and because as
rule, they are relaxing their former strict
ness, with regard to the terms of leases, "a
considerable increase of tenants is expected

mattero he is bound to fail in most of the
pursuits incident to the farm This is a
progressive age. The manner of conduct
ing farm in this generation is as different
us can be from that OF our fathers. 1t is on
ly by reading agricultural books and pa
pers that we can keep up with the times in
which we live, and the far ncr who does
not improve these opportunities had better

An Ottawa, Ontario. telegram OF April
10th, says: A large deputation of Ontario
and Quebec millers waited upon the Minis
ter of Finance and Minister of Customs
yesterday, and with view of having some
change effected in the system of bonding
American wheat, they ask that the word
''product' should be changed to 'equiva-
lent" Under exchange regulations, for
every four and half bushels of American
wheat impaired, they enter into bond Tor
the export of a barrel of flour. Owing to
the softness of Canadian wheat they are
unable to produce strong bakers -four, and
to compete successfully with American
flour. With view, therefore. to oyer
come this difficulty, they claim that they
should be allowed to mix Canadian with
American wheat in equal proportion, for
home consumption Or export as the case
may be. The matter will be taken up by
the Privy Council for consideration.
