WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Conkling
entered the Republican caucus yesterday rath-

seid the caucus had been called without con-
sultation with him and was an attempt to de-
feat him by indirect methods. He declared
that Robertson's confirmation would disrupt
and defeat the Republican party in New York;
but said as Republicans were rushing on to
their fate, he washed his hands OF the whole
affair.

YaIlGrd.

S4Ssst<s-tAs
New York, May 14.-In regard to the re-
port that. an agreement had been made by
which Willard, president of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company, had bought the
Northern Pacific stock owned by President
Billings, amounting to $8,eOO,0O and con-
sented. to the discontinuance of the suits
brought against the Northern Pacific compa-
ny to annul its recent issue of stock, Mr.. Viii
lard furnishes the following statement:
"First-While it is true that negotiations
have been progressing between the two sides
with view to mutually satisfactory arrange
ment, no agreement has as yet been reached.
SecOnd-The published version of details of
the proposed agreement is incorrect
in most essential particulars. Third, no Off
ccr of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, except myself, has been cognizant
of the details of the negotiations. deem it
due to President Billings to state that there
has been no desire on my part to bring about
his retirement, or that of majority Of the
present board of directors. On the contrary,
have myself offered to Mr.. Billings the sup
port of the stock represent, as deemed it of
vital importance that one SO long
ably identified with the enterprise should con-
tinue in his position. would add that in both
the present and former negotiations President
both to the interests of the Northern Pacific
railroad company and to those who have been
associated SO long with him in its manage
ment. He has always subordinated his per-
sonal interests to the protection of what he
considered to be the interests nf the company,
aud he has steadily insisted that in any agree
ment between the two parties the first consid-
Grafton should be policy that would assure
the highest prosperity of the.company before
even considering personal questions"

Hints About Autumn Dresses.

The first information from abroad
confirms the hope that short dresses
will continue in vogue for nearly all &C.
casions. and that there will be no very
decided changes in the next season
dresses. Plated skirts will display
stripes advantageously. and plated
iiounces will be retained on account of
stripes, though gathered ilounces are
suggested for soft satin stuifs, moires
and woolens. Basques of watered silk
are being made for skirts of plain satin
Surah that are trimmed with MORE.
This fashion was introduced by the
Princess OF Wales during the summer.
in dress with white MORE corsage and
skirts of tulle. Short over-skirts with
bouffant draperies are shown in the de-
signs for new. costumes. COrselets or
wide girdles of MORE or of velvet are
worn over soft wool basques that may
be either plain or plated. MORE col
lars of Byron shape and flat cuffs to
match are neat finish for camel s-hair
and cashmere dresses. This MORE may
be shaded. or else changeable, and is
used in the lower skirt. while the over
skirt IS of the WOODEN goods. Floren-
tine bronze shades of mixed green and
gold. mort dore golden brown, and
dull red will be popular colors for wool
and for silk costumes. Satin Surahs
and Rhadzimir silks with satin luster
are largely imported for black dresses.
Pushes and velvets are chosen for TRIM
mings of wool and of satin stuffs. For
over-garments there are long cloaks not
adjusted to the figure. and also close
fitting jaunty jackets. The rich satin
brocades in new designs of chains,
linked rings, plush diamonds and vel
vet figures will be used for elegant
wraps. A great deal of color will. it is
said. be seen in the imported cloaks,
but black will remain the standard
choice for garments to be. worn in the
street during the day, while colored
wraps will be reserved for driving, for
receptions and for evening toilettes.
The beauty of the black nantes will
consist OF rich Innings of plush, and of
moires and changeable Surahs,-7Hdr-

A Remedy for the Gad.Fly.

Mr.. Serene f. Todd, who has been
considering the ways of the Oestrus
boris or gad-ily for more than forty
years. sends to the Rural NeU Yorker
the following suggestion as to the best
mode of getting rid of them.
The cheapest and most effectual
remedy is to provide rough rubbing
or scratching pole for cattle. Then, as
soon as an insect, whether it is the
larval. chry said or fly Transformation,
begins to emerge from the back OF an
animal, it will be crushed. Ii cattle are
properly carded. every insect, rs soon
as it thrusts its head above the surface
of the skin, will be laceratcd by the
teeth of the card. AS soon rs the grub
or the parent insect has bored a pas
sage up through the skin. the irrita-
ton will prompt the animal 10 scratch
the irritated part of the body. Then.
if good rubbing-pole has been pro-
vided. not single insect will ever es-
cape to oviposit eggs in the backs of
other animals. / have often taken q
glover's needle Ga needle having tri-
angular point) and thrust the point
through the skin down int o the gru5s,
or larva. The needle will kill every
one it enters. But good rubbing pole
is preferable to pay other means. To
make such a rubbing pole, place one
end of a long and heavy pole on the
top of a post about five feet high. set
firmly in the grouud, and pin it fast.
Let the other end rest on another post.
two feet high. and pin it securely to the
post. Neat cattle of high or low stat
ure can pass beneath this heavy pole,
adjusting themselves to the inclination
of the pole.

Laying Out Fields by Measure.

Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
A field of the writer's. before it came
into his possession. had been plowed
and reaped by contract for fifteen acres.
On measuring it, it was found to have
but twelve acres. 1t is desirable, in
fact, Indispensable for good work. that
farmer should know. how many acres
each field contains. for otherwise he
cannot apportion seed or manure for it.
nor can he tell how much time it should
require to be plOwed. A measuring
cord should be part of the furniture of
every farm. To make one, procure
siXty-seven feet of strong rope, one inch
around; make a loop or fasten ring or
q bar at each end. and make these pre-
cisely sixtr-six feet apart. This is four
rods. Then tie piece of red rag in
the center. One acre of ground will be
piece four of the cords (chains) long
and two and one-half wide, equal to
sixteen By ten rods, making one hum
dred and sixty square rods. or one acre.
The advantage OF the ring or loop is
that one person can measure alone by
driving a stake in the ground to hold
the rope while he stretches it out. The
rope should be soaked in tar and dried,
which will prevent it from shrinking
when wet. Rural NsiC Y0rter.

style in Farming.

There is such thing as style in
farming. regardless OF economy and
good sense. There is such a thing as
neighbors practicing opposite styles,
UNCONSCIOUS of their good or bad exam
pie. We have case in point. In a
town not far distant is a hill, overlook
ing beautiful meadow. owned by diff
ferent parties. 1t is the time OF rye
harvest, and your correspondent is on
the eminence swinging his grain era
die. raking and binding sheaves, stock
ing grain and meditating generally on
things below. In the meadow two
farmers are seen engaged in haying.
One starts the mowing-machine in the
fresh and early morning and cuts a
large piece by ten o clock. After q
short respite one of the horses is put
on to the hay-tedder, and by vigorous
use of that and the horse rake, some
Of the ripest and thinnest grass is made
ready to cart before dinner All this
is done noiselessly and single-handed.
In the afternoon two men appear on
the scene, and before niyht-fail nearly
all the hay moved in the forenoon is
raked and carted homeward, while
some of the greenest is cooked up for
removal before dinner the next day. So
the haying proceeds rapidly. quietly
and economically of time and help.
The other farmer takes things mod
erately and as he doubtless thinks more
easily. He starts his moving machine
in the middle of the forenoon and does
his heaviest work in the hottest part of
the day. He gets so exhausted by the
heat that he mas no energy in reserve
for handling the hay, and so he lets it
lie. sometimes two and three DAYS. be-
fore carting it from the field. He
claims that the hay is better for being
bone dry and that bleaching it is no
detriment. This man makes hay all
summer, and drags through dog DAYS
as best he can, but tired all the time.
Both these men have hay to feed and
sell. and botn ask the same market
price for their surplus hay, and both are
classed as farmers.
There is little question which pays
the best In the good old times when
words were fewer and more expressive,

the meaning of husbandry was frugali-

The hundreds Of people who have
watched the operations of the man upon
the towering steeple of the Third Street
Baptist Church painting the wooden
spire and arranging the weather-vane,
have expressed wonder as to the means
used TO reach this lofty position. A re-
porter yesterday went up into the belfry
and interviewed the most experienced

Ferguson. "Why. my dear boy said

"A writer in a West Virginia pane

a writer in West Virginia paper
saws that the Shenandoah Valley, when
first settled. one hundred and sixty
years ago, was an open prairie-like re-
gion. covered with tall grass, on which
herds of deer, buffalo and elk fed, and
devoid OF timber except on occasional
ridges; bat that after il became settled
trees sprang up almost as thickly and
regularly as if seed had been planted.
These forests, having been preserved
by the farmers. cover now a large part
OF the surface of the valley with hard
wood trees Of superior excellence. The
explanation of this change is that pre-
vious to the settlement of the valley
annual fires, negligently started by In
dams. burned up the young trees, and
prevented the formation of forests, but
with the arrival of settlers these fires
were prevented; and the opinion is as
serted that the treeless character of the
Western prairies is owing TO the Indian
practice of annually burning the grass.
Were it not for that, dense forests
would have covered these vast plains
for centuries.
