BLUNTNESS.

Mr.. Riddieberger asked HIM If he was pre-
pared to vote for the debt bill last week, and
Mr.. Lybrook frankly admitted that he was
not, because he objected to the war interest
being paid, and because it was not provided
that the bill should be submitted to the people.

The Chair warned Senators that they should
keep closer to the question.
NOT THAT LOVE CESAR LESS
Mr.. Powell followed Mr. Lybrook and ans
wered many of that gentleman's arguments
He thought if Mr.. Massey was the embodl-
ment OF his party the sooner he was kicked
out the better. And yet Mr.. Massey was
native OF his county (Spotsylvania) and he
was his friend, but he claimed to be a better
friend to readjustment than to Mr.. Massey
Mr.. Stevens discussed the parliamentary
question, maintaining that the Chair was right
THE BEST AUDITOR THE STATE EVER HAD"
Mr. Riddleberger also discussed this point.
claiming that resolution which was agreed
to, rs this had been, had the force and effect of
law. tax bill can be passed by joint rese-
luton. Then could the adjournment of one
house break the force and effect of a resolu-
ton that had been agreed to by both houses
He thought not. Mr.. Riddleberger went on
to say here are Railroad Commissioner and
Judges behind the Auditor to be elected 1t
is question whether or not this Senate will
proceed to elect the officers it is required to
elect Il am going to say to my friend over
there Mr.. Lybrook] he is pinning his faith to
party that does not mean good faith in the
sense of voting for Mr.. Massey They do not
propose to vote for Mr.. Massey" I'VE will
grant that he is the best Auditor the State
ever had. You the Democrats just nomj-
nate him and we will take the responsibility
of defeating the best Auditor the State ever
had" 80 ti'-'.-

GRAIN GOSSIP.

During a recent convention of farmers
and others interested in agriculture at Wash
lngton, Thomas Taynr. a competent micro
scopst, reported to the conveption the re-
suit OF his Investigations OF the red rust Of
wheat Each individual spore is the germ
Or seed of distinct fungus, and where it
I dg4s on the leaves of grasses it grows
| there as parasite and checks their growth.
Numerous experiments have been made to
| ascertain what chemicals acted most vigor
| ously and yet satelyto destroy those tungoid
growths. For sixty years past farmers
| have used weak solutions OF metallic salts,
such as bluestone (sulphate of copper), also
| suiphate of iron, sulphate of soda and COM
mon salt But these solutions, which easily
control smut ia wheat, are not strong
enough to destroy the rust germs. 1t has
been ascertaned that washing the seeds in
su'phuric acid, full strength, does not inure
the germs, butspores of fungi and eggs of
| insects are destroyed. Another speaker said
the smut was atmospheric. The way to
treat it is to apply from one to seven bushels
OF common salt per acre, and to use sulphate
of iron (copperas) after the wheat was two
or three inches high.
The quantity OF seed and the method OF
sowing it was next discussed From one to
two aud halt bushels seemed to be prefer
red for broadcast sowing. The general
opinion was that the use of the drill increas-
ed the crop from twenty-five to thirty per
nnl ,.:,,
wheat SO as to choke down the weeds. One
farmer stated that before he sowed he soak
ed his seed wheat in brine strong enough to
fort all egg. The foul seed come to the top
and are slammed OF. TO the brine he adds
little copperas to kill the smut. The wheat
is then laid ON the floor, sprinked with lime
and sown before it gets dry. This is for
broadcast sowing chiefly, as wheat so pre-
pared clegs sn drill.
The opinion was advanced that wheat can
be vastly improved 10y careful selection of
the seed each, followed by choosing and
crossing varieties OF wheat, which by the
foregoing system have aeen obtained more
or less pure. Selection improves, but can
never produce a new variety The best of
the hybrid Wheats show a marked increase
in prndnct, and the amount of gluten in the
grain has also increased. The -four can be
made for 100 to 500 Per cent better than in
ordinary field varieties, with no lessenng,
but with an increase in yield AS regards
corn, its mixtures are innumerable I; by Sc
lection the grain can be made larger and
longer and the whole habit of the plant
better

in double rows, head downward, on about
two or three inches of sand. after which put
on coat OF sand five or six inches deep,
covering all up except the ends of the roots;
pack down the sand firmly with the back of
the shovel, and leave thus, taking out the
cabbage as wanted. In this way it will keep
fresh and green all through the winter. In
the same way cabbage can be kept good all
winter outside, by selecting high piece of
ground, and then mounding the earth in
stead of sand over the heads, though it is
rather difficult to reach during the hard,
freezing weather, and does not keep so well
| in open winters.
! Cabbage is the cheapest and most avail
able food for poultry during the winter,
though celery, lettuce, onions, turnip tops,
etc., are largely used, though we do not like
them as well for poultry food as cabbage,
while they are much more expensive. A
good and economical way to feed cabbage,
winter or summer, is to hang head I'D bv
the root in some convenient place in the
yard or poultry house, and as soon as the
poultry have cleaned it up put another one
in its place. There is no opportunity to
waste or foul any in this way.-Pouztr,,

EGGS IN COMMERCE,

The great egg season is fron March to
July They come usually packed in straw,
a laye: OF uncut straw at the bottom of the
barrel, aud then an inch of cut straw, and
then layers of eggs and straw alternately to
the top, which has, like the bottom, uncut
straw. The whole is pressed down with
powerful leverage, and Oh goes the head.
Barrels of eggs are whirled on the chime.
and not rolled like barrel of flour. The
straw for packing is kiln-dried and machine
cut. Eggs at this season are all good later
whea hens go into the out-of-the-way places
to lay, the eggs are not found for Some time,
and they do not keep so we'll. and for The
same cause they are better than the earlier
layings. A merchant receiving shipment
of eggs. say fifty barrels, has perhaps ten
of them ''candled." that is, an expert passes
them, three in each hand. before a candle.
This is done with great rapdity Reclama-
ton is made for damaged or bad eggs, but
generally they pass along from dealer to
dealer, the loss of che bad eggs falling on
the purchaser. There are various ways of
preserving eggs. The one most in use is
