SPRINGFIELD.

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 27-In the Sen
ate the question of reconsidering the vote
by which the bill consolidating the appro-
priations was ordered to second reading
and the originals tabled, was discussed at
length, and vigorous attack made on the
Chester Penitentiary, as a great and useless
expense. The vote was reconsidered, and
the bills all sent back to the Appropriation
Committee by consent.
The House bills to carry into effect the
provisions of the constitutional amendment
adopted at last election, to do away with
the election of county officers this Fall,
were taken up and passed, and they now
go to the Governor.
On third reading, Mr.. Adams BILL
amending the act regarding guardians and
wards, allowing the court to appoint a
guardian for children whose parents have
no property, was passed.
Mr.. Vandever,s bill, to give County
Boards power to institute suit for the
whole amount of taxes due on forfeited
property, and extending the provisions of
the Real Estate law, in that respect to per-
sonal property, so that such may bought
without process of forfeiture, was passed
and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Inc house spent some Iline IN discussing
Munn's canal resolution, the Senate having
refused to concur in the House amend
ment providing that Chicago should erect
pumping works on the canal lands at
Bridgeport, and the commissioners to have
control of them. The House refused to re-
cede from the amendment, after much dis
cussion, and a conference committee will
undoubtedly be appointed to solve the diff
ficulty.
The resolution proposing to give Micro
slawski and Scharlau about 5000 a piece,
on account of expenses incurred by them,
in carrying on supposed contest in Chi
cago for seat in the present assembly,
came up. 1t was supported by Messrs.
Sexton and Mann and opposed by Messrs.
Mitchell and Morris, the former stating
that the House committee which finally de-
cided the case were aided or influenced by
the conclusions of the inquiry which occa-
stoned the expense. Mr. Aiken moved to
give each of the parties $500. This was
lost, and pending the further consideration
of the matter the House adjourned.

Precautions Against Drouth.

High manuring, thorough cultivation,
and the free use of vegetable matter like
muck, are the best of precautions for pre-
venting, to considerable extent, the bad
effects Of drouths. Messrs. Lawes and
Gilbert of England, in their experiments,
found that heavily manured soils retained
to the depth of thirty-six inches many tons
more water than adjoining lands not so
heavily manured. And in experiments
with the spade it was found that where
the soil was dug up to the depth Of eigh-
teen inches, and heavily manured, the
crops did not suffer from drouth, although
the crops on adjoining plots were all but
dried up. Lawes and Gilbert also found
that when the manure was heavily applied,
and turned under to good depth, the
water did not 90 through to the drains
nearly so rapidly as on land not so heavily
manured or so deeply cultivated. In both
cases, where there is large percentage of
vegetable matter in the soil, it acted as a
sponge, retaining much of the water which
soils differently constituted allowed to pass
through. Drouths we cannot prevent,
and it behooves us to guard against their
injurious effects to the best of our ability.
To this end the land should be manured
highly, cultivated as deeply as the depth
of the soil will allow, and plenty of muck
or vegetable matter in the form of green
crops added to the soil.-Le10istoR Jour
nal.

MUcK.-The American Agriculturist
says an acre of swamp muck of good
quality, three feet deep, is actually worth
S25. No doubt such a statement is
surprising. So was the statement Of DR..
Lawes, of England, that ton of bran fed
to cows returned more than it cost in man
ure. The best muck, free from sand, con-
tains two per cent. or forty lbs. of nitro
gen in a ton. Nitrogen is worth in mark
ct twenty-five cents per pound, so that a
ton of swamp muck is worth s36 for the
nitrogen in it. All that is needed is to
work up the muck, SO as to make the nj
trogen available. An acre of swamp muck
three feet deep contains $500 tons, and
would require eight months to draw out,
at ten loads day.
Few persons realize the value Of the
fertilizing element of common waste mat
ters which lie under their feet, and the
innumerable tons of matter that may be
available for fertilizing purposes, or that
many of the idle and neglected materials
represent vast amount Of wealth. But
it must be remembered that all swamp
muck canrot be classed as Of good quality
some of it is next door to worthless.

MANURE FOR PEAR TREEs-P. Barry
stated in his address at the Pomological
meeting at Rochester, that be had in the
corner Of his grounds little group Of half
dozen pear trees standing in grass; they
had been neglected until they were nearly
starved TO death. The annual growth was
nothing, the leaves small aad 10 fruit. In
this condition they were treated with a
op-aressing Of barn yard manure, and the
following season they made stout shoots
twelve to eighteen inches long, with large,
dark green foliage, and scme fine fruit.
He added that trees standing in grass
wonld not pay. They must be kept Wig
orous aud healthy by tiilage, fertilizers and
judicious pruning. These Involve labor
and expense, but be remarked be cannot
grow fruit without ihem. In his pear
garden he slaekcned both cultivation aud
manure TO lessen the chances Of blight
but the result was that in two years and
a-half his crop vas cnlls.

PorAToEs UNDER STRAw.-Seyeral
years ago there was much said about grow
ing potatoes under straw, and We Published
at the time several reports from those who
had tried the method with success. In
tcrest 10 the subject appears 10 be renewed
to Judge from inquiries. The method i
very simple, the land IS prepared in the
usual way and the rows marked of; the
sets are dropped along the rows and very
slightly, or not at all, covered with soil.
The whole field, or bed, is then covered
with eight or ten inches thickness Of old
straw. Nothing more Is required until
digging time, unless some strong weeds
should make their way through the straR,
and these may be pulled. Il Is claimed
that the yield Is larger and the potatoes
are much handsomer than those treated in
the usual manuer-AgrieuitErist.

other mutual companies are:
l. 1t secures to its members life insurance
at smaller outlay than any other association
doing business at the present day.
,. The life endowment secures insurance
at ordinary life rates, with the advantages
that if the insured shall live to an old age, it
shall then become a matured endowment,
and consequently payable.
8. 1t is the simplest, the cheapest, and yet
the safest, more eminently just and applica-

Too MucH HAY-Filling horse 5
rack with hay, as some persons do, and
permitting a constant supply to remain
before the Raimal, is one Of the most prob
able means Of producing disease, and most
positive in rendering animals unfit for fast
work. Large supplies of hay have the ef-
feet of making the stomach large and
weak, the belly in course of time becom-
ing pendulous. Not ouly does the stom-
ach increase in capacity, bat the large
intestines become enlarged.
