tam bills sppropristi money from the
Htasury, originating In the Senate are now
on the Speakers table, to wit: Blair Eiuca-
tional bill and many others, and that il is
asserted that these bills are in violation of
the privileges Of tho House to exclusively
originate bills for raising revenue, and d.
Tecting the Judiciary Committee TO inquire
into the power of the Senate to originate
bills sppropriating revenue and report 20
the House az any tine.
Er. Herbert inquired where in the Con-
stitution any distinction could be found be-
tween the power of the Senate to originate
bills sppropriating a specific sum for a
specific object, and bills sppropriating
specific sum for g general purpose, es in the
Gaze of the Blair bill.
Mr.. Hurd denied the power OF the Senate
to originate either character of bill. He
believed the adoption of the doctrine con-
tended fer by tbs Senate would be utterly
Obstructive Of the object sought for by the
founders OF the Government, which object
WAS TO give representatives power over
the peopls's money. This power was
the most potent instrument agaiuss the en-
croachments of executive power Liberty

The debate continued at great length,
several members supporting the Constitu.
tionel power of the Senate in the matter.
J. S. Wise said this privileged question was
direct attack on whath be conceived to be a
nost important measure before Congress.
Mr.. Willis regarded the resolution as an
unusual and extraordinary one. The aim
Ii had in view wa to call in question the
constitutionality of its Educational bill.
The point would have been better made
against some bill less worthy than this.
From month to month he had been trying
10 get action on this bill, which under the
Infamous system of the House rules was
buried on the Speakers table. Mr.. Willis
moved to clay the motion on the table.

completely demoralized business and made
much suffering imminent by causing shops
and factories to close, throwing many needy
persons out of employment-their only

Preparing the seed-Bed.

Preparing the seed-bed after the pillow is e
work of no small importance. In regard to
the consistency of the soil at the time OF
working the same rule laid down for plow-
ing would also be applicable here. a good
sesd-bed can not be made from wet, waxy
eartn. A very sandy soil may be worked
when quite wet, as the particles never sd.
here to any great extent, as is the case with
soils containing a considerable cunt of
clay or loam. One cultivating or narrowing
when the ground is in the right condition
will do more good than three when the
ground is too wet to fall apart readily
Where the land is ploughed in autu mn,
or quite time before seeding, it should OF,
as rule, be replowed. That portion which,
has lain exposed to the action OF the els-
ments is best ado pied to the wants of plant
life, as it is more thoroughly disintegrsted,
and therefore holding its fertility in an i'm
mediGtely available form. To turn this
surface soil under would be to lose all that
has been gained by the action of the frost
or by other means. A thorough stirring and
mixing is what 1t wants. Cultivstors with
deep, sharp teeth should first be used, run
ming them both ways across the field, After
thus loosening up and stirring the whole
depth OF the soil let the sun and
air have chance at il for a few
hours at least before putting on the
hsrrows. These last should have fine,
closely set teeth, and be light and wide, that
the work may DO rapidly as well az effect.
lively done. A team can draw a light
framed, steel-toothed harrow that takes a
ten-foot sweep as easily IS it could many of
the old-fashionsd six-by-six limbered drags
that covered less than half the width. With
good wide harrow We can 90 over the field
in halt the time that would be required with
a narrow one. What we gain in this way
should be applied TO the finer working of the
soil. AS general thing. but one narrowing

other cross narrowing Is of immense benedt,

narrowing sitter the cultivation usually
leaves the field in very smooth even con-
dition, but it is the second narrowing that
makes the surface fine. AS a rule, we saoald
put more work on the land before the seed
is sown and less after. The finer the seed
70 be sown the finer the soil should be made.
For small garden seeds We can hardly make
the soil fine enough with our field harrows.
In small gardens the garden-rake may be
used after the harrow; but one WAC is gar
dening on large scale should have very
light harrow with small, sharp, steel teeth
set closely together. Such an implement is
also excellent for the smaller field seeds.
such as grass, turnips, etc. The roller should
not be used on heavy soil, either before or
after seeding. On light porous soils ii may
precede the marking for crops that are to be
planted in rows or drills. A heavy plank
drawn broadside over the land is often vastly
superior TO the roller, as it erinds the Jumps
instead OF pressing them into the ground.
