CHICAGO Feb. 2.-Wheat cables continue
dull ard lower, and it was but natural that
this dullness on the other side should, if con.
tinued, at least have some influence here. The
clique at times made timid efforts to sustain
prices, but the crowd offered the stuff in quan.
titles they could not stomach. We closed at
9SX cents for March, the lowest point of the
day, and Q cents lower than the highest price.
Corn lower, in sympathy with wheat, and
there seems, just for the present, no good in
wheat and corn. It is, however, nothing but
a scalping market at best, and I think
prices are about low enough to
have turn. What keeps the market on the
other side so inactive is the large amount of
the quantity aaoat being nearly due. and every
body wants to wait with buying uutil they
can get it, as they believe, for a nice song AS
soon as that big quantity arrives the unevi.
table result will be that everybody will rush
in and buy, and instead of going lower their
market will 60 up on the large arrivals What
John Bull & Co. is doing now is what we
here in Uncle Sans country call anticipating
coming events. Therefore those events have
had their influence already.

Meeting of the Joint Committee of BOtf
Houses-Mr. Chamberlain to be Heard in
the Senate Chamber This Afternoon.
The joint special committee of the two
houses of the legislature having in charge
the matters relating to the adjudication
of the State railroad bonds, held a meet
ing at the capitol last evening, Mr.
Daniels in the chair. All the members
were present but Mr.. Huhn.
A communication was. received from
Selah Chamberlain, asking that time
and place be fixed when he could be heard
on the subject of the adjustment of the
bonds.
Col. Crooks thought the first question
to be met was to ascertain the views oil
the committee as to the legal and moral
responsibility of the State, and as to the
power of the legislature to adjust the OBJ.
legations if the State should be bound.
Senator Pillsbury suggested that the
better way would be to hear from Mr.
Chamberlain and other claimants.

McCracken, who wanted to hear the

nounced emphatically against the bonds
so that he did not represent himself
but the people who sent him to the
legislature. He read a few interroga.
tions representing the objections to the
payment of the bonds that he had heard
among his people.
Various legal points were discussed in
formally at some length.
That portion of the message of Gov
Sibley to the legislature in 1859 that de.
tails the history of these bonds was read
for the information of the committee.
1t was resolved to hold meeting at the
Senate chamber this afternoon at s
O'Clock, for the purpose of hearing Mr.
Chamberlain and his attorney, the under.
standing being that any person opposed
to the payment of the bonds should have
the right to reply.
After some further desultory discussion
on various phases of the question the
committee adjourned.

Another accident, but happily unat
tended with serious results, occurred on
the same road about 8 o'clock in the
morning This accident was short
distance north of University place, where
a passenger car of the short run from
Minneapolis was thrown from the track
by a broken rail. A number of passen-
gers, were in the car, including Gov.
Pillsbury, but none of them were injured,
and as the remainder of the train con-
tinued ON the track, it, with the passen-
gers, were brought through to this city
with little delay, and the track was soon
cleared, so that the general movement of
trains was not interfered with.

WORST OF THE SEASON.

Wide Sweep of Yesterdays Snow storm
The Entire State Visited by the Fleecy
Messengers, With Heavy Winds-Delayed
and Abandoned Railroad Trains.
The liveliest snow storm of the winter
visited Minnesota yesterday. The storm
came from the southeast and struck ST..
Paul about O'Clock in the morning.
The snow fall commenced very moder-
ate, with little, if any, wind, but as the
day progressed both the fall Of snow and
force Of wind increased, until at 10
O'Clock the storm had reached the
dimensions of a irst-class blizzard, the
streets of the city, especially those con-
tiguous to the river, being filled with
binding snow driven back and forth in
masses inpenetrable to the eye much of
the time for the distance of q block.
About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon the
storm began to subside, and at nightfall
had almost entirely ceased, though the
wind was still quite strong.
AS the storm was general all over the
State, nearly all the railroads were more
or less effected by it, the only exception
being the river division Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, trains from the
East arriving on time and trains out leav-
ing at regular hours. On the Iowa divis-
ion there was little delay, but no
serious obstruction. The Hastings &
Dakota division is again closed, as also
the western end of the Southern Mime
sofa division.
Trains on the eastern division of the
Chicago, st. Paul s. Omaha road were
considerably delayed, the noon train
from the East being five hours late. The
morning train out from this city for
Omaha was turned back at Mankato, but
had not succeeded IN getting through
to this city at latest reports. The after
noon train for Omaha was abandoned,
and the train from that point due here at
la NJ, yesterday was stopped at Worth
ington, where it was last evening.
Tho st. Paul & Duluth experienced a
good deal of trouble between here and
Forest City. The morning train for Du-
luth was gotten through the obstruction
blythe use of three engines after hard
fight, but no attempt was made to send
out any other train, while the train from
Duluth, nearly on time at Forest City,
had not arrived at latest accounts.
Owing to othe severity of the storm all
freights on the St. Paul & Manitoba were
abandoned carly in the day, but the pas
sengers were kept moving, and nearly
on time, except for the accidents else
where noted.
The usual good fortune of the Northern
Pacific this winter has stood by it thus
far through this storm. In the first place
it was noon before the storm became gen.
eral along its Minnesota division, and
then the snow fall was light and wind
comparatively quiet, so that trains moved
along with no detention. In Dakota there
was little snow and none along its Vel
lowstone division. Indeed, it was almost
summer weather along the two divisions,

Mr.. Regan cOntended it was q matter of the
greatest interest to the American people that
the question involved in Interstate commerce
should receive consideration and attention. He
would ask the House to set apart two days
for consideration of that measure, and to order
two night sessions for debate only on the same

Mr. Cox raised the question of considera-

vvIu.srIng stock ON Corn Fodder.

1 have just got through another winter
without pound of hay. l have wintered
less than the usual amount of stock, as had
a chance to sell at good price in the fall,
and reduced my cattle to seven head, so that
l wintered seven cattle, four horses, and nine
sheep seven of which had lambs early in
February. l had not pound of hay, and
we began feeding corn fodder to our teams
the last of August from a strip of early vel
low corn, so that the teams have been fed
over seven and half months, and they have
not had in this time a single feed of straw or
hay and have eaten but little grain. Hay is
selling readily in my neighborhood at the
barns of the farmers the buyers hauling it
at SIS ton. / have fed SO little hay that
l hardly know how much it would take to
winter q team, but for 225 days of feed
ing, including such cold weather as we have
had the past winter, would estimate that it
would take six tons of hay Il wish those who
feed hay would correct me if l am wrong
and this would make the fodder my teams ate
worth 500. My sheep were ON fodder five
months and ate just about much fodder as
one team did during the same time, which
would be about $50 The seven cattle had
the run of straw stack during the day, but
were fed all the fodder they would eat morn
ing and night, and two-thirds of the time
were not turned out until after a noon feed of
todueri out we VIII call the fodder they ate,
half what the horses ate each for the same
time. The cattle were fed six months The
fodder the horses ate is charged at 50 q
month, and calling the cattle 81. 80 a month,
makes 80 each for the six months, or $3.50 for
the seven head. Bringing these items to-
gether estimate the value of my corn fod-
der at SIG, which is little less than what ! 2
tons of hay would bring at my barn to-day.
Now as to the condition of my stock, would
be willing TO show them with any farmer who
had fed hay. 1 have fattened one old COW and
my young grade Shorthorn steer and never
made better beeves in the same length of
time. My mich COWS are fat enough for the
| butcher and my teams in first rate order.
Now l will give the exact cost of this corn
fodder. We cut up Is acres, shocks 2 hills
square, making 81 shocks to the acre, paying
cents a shock for cutting, which is 1925. 20.
1t costs just the same to husk and bind this
as to cut it up, but as the corn would have
to be husked any way, we will charge but
| $40 of it to the fodder cut The hauling l
can not tell the cost of as correct as the cut
ting up and husking, which was done by the
shock, but am willing TO call it 81 an acre
which is liberal price, and this brings the
cost of my fifteen acres of fodder in barn and
stack to 5000 against SIG which the hay
would have cost at present prices, to have
fed the same amount of stock. The hay men
will probably say that it is unfair to compare
hay and fodder in a year when the former is
scarce and high. Well, we will call the hay
| $3.50 per ton, instead of SIS, and it would
cost $ss and leave a balance of $37 80 in
favor OF the corn fodder Cor. Ohio Farmer.

Itis great pity that green mauurng makes
such very slow progress in New England. 1t is
the quickest, surest and cheapest way of
bringing up run out" land, especially the light
err soils, though good for all. But there are
several things that the average farmer" new
or gets the courage to try. One is to till corn
and potatoes with the smoothing harrow.
You may do it with entire success and no in
jury to the crop, year after year, right under
his eyes, and prove to him that half the cost
of tillage is saved and the ground kept as
clean as by the best hand culture, and yet he
is as afraid to try it rs timid little girl is to
get into row-boat on windy day. And 1t
seems to be Just so with blowing down n
green crop. A sod, before the grass starts
[if it is pretty well run out), he has the cour-
age to attack but crop that is more than
four inches high he shrinks from going at
with about the same feeling that he would
have in kndling the kitchen fire with leaves
from the family Bible. 1t is no use 10 argue
against prejudice. But TO the younger farm
ers whose ideas are not yet fossilized we want
to say that clover seed is the cheapest manure
in the world, and as good as the best. We
know it by long experience and many trials.
Green manuring is the basis of nearly all the
grain and grass farming of the great state of
New York, yet Vermont and New Hampshire
know almost nothing of it. The poorest lands
may be cheaply brought up by green manur-
ing, beginning when too poor for clover,
with buckwheat and rye. Try it once, if on
in loop from the evener and the pillow beam,
just in advance of the furrow slice, will lay
the heaviest growth so that a good pillow will
cover it all, and on that turned crop you can
raise anything you want to. Try it, we say.

As consequence of the copious rains in
May and June, the hay crop is going to be
unusually heavy. Few people realize how
vast is the aggregate value of this crop. It
makes only small figure in our export trade,
and does not play part in our home ex-
changes like wheat and cotton but a large
yield means prosperity TO hundreds of thous.
ands of farmers. In the bad old days OF this
Republic when cotton was called king and the
slaveocracy ran the government, great sem
sation was created by the statistics in Helpers
Impending Crisis, proving that the hay
crop of the North was worth more than the
cotton crop of the South. 1t was facts like
this which caused the book to be denounced as
an incendiary document Now we hear no
more arguments as to which of our national
products is the most important Sectional
jealousy is fast disappearing, and the whole
land rejoices to hear of big crop, whether
it be of Southern or Northern staple N.

to the latter opinion, as they held mass meet
ings and appeared 10 be discussing some mat
ter of absorbing interest BE this as II may,
they have grown very bold in their evil do
ings, and we attribute It to the secretary's
championship Of them.
In Brookheld, Randolph and other towns
they have been especially destructive, ncres
of corn having been destroyed by them. One
man in Royalton set up five "graven images"
in his acre of corn; but the black mischiefs
s.corned the deception, and took every hill.
He has planted it over, and now awaits the
result. Col Mead planted his corn on Sat
urday, and strung il Monday; but he did not
get the Irvine thick enough so they could not
get through the meshes, and they despised
that Yankee trick, and yanked up that corn
very lively. Then he just dosed them with
stryohnia, and they saw there was trouble
which they could not fathom, and have kept
shy Of that field since.
