WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Our Regular Cores poadeniA

The work of the week in Congress
has not been of particular interest
The Senate has held secret sessions
on the pending treaty questions, and
has debated the Interstate Com.
merce and Indian bills. Both the
House and Senate have discussed
the Oklahoma lands invasion, and
in both Houses day was spent in
funeral oratory, the subjects being
Senator Anthony and Represents
tive Evins, deceased.
Representative Hurd made a
strong speech in opposition to the
Blair educational bill. basing his
argument on the ground that the
Senate was usurping constitutions
al prerogative os the House when il
originated "A money bill. A motion
to refer the bill to the Judiciary
committee was lost by a small vote.
This is understood to indicate tha,
the bill has more friends than enc.
mics in the House, and will become
law. The amount of money,
about sl0O,OOO,OOO, appropriated by
the bill is not the full measure OF
its Importance. The greater part
of the money will go to the South,
and will be potential in the intel
lectual habilitation of the darker
part of that section. Under Re-
publican admins ration the money
would no doubt have been used,
like the Freedman's bureau, as a
means of political propaganda, but
in five weeks republican admins
tration will be nightmare of the
past.
There are several important meas
ures awaiting the consideration OF
the House, which ought to be acted
upon this session. Among these
are the bill to carry into effect the
provisions of the Mexican treaty,
the Bankruptcy bill, the National
Library bill, and the Blair Educa-
tiona1bill. In the FIVE weeks yet re-
naming of the session there is ample
time time TO perfect all the apprc-
priation bills and TO act intelligent.
ly upon the other measures referred
to, but disposition has been shown
to prevent Ne consideration of any
but appropriation bills, and great
deal Of the time of the House is be.
ing wasted in dilatory motions and
roll-calls. This may have seriou.
results. Ii the wheels Of Legislation
are blocked for any length ,t time
the appropriation bills, IL fpassed al
all, will 60 through in the closing
hours of the session and withou,
proper consideration. If amy ap'
preparation bill fails it may be nee
essary to re-convene Congress inn
| nediately after the Inauguration %
President Cleveland. This woult
please the Republican Senate an'
might result in greatly eiuhariass
: ing the Rew administration.

 More Reading and Thinking. |.

As rule. the average farmer of this country works at a disadvan- tagc; they do not read enough, and as I consequence think less than they should.
 Every successful business man, as a rule, is reader as we'll as q a thinker. Less work, and more reading, planning and study will make good worker not only prac. tieal, but successful in his calling. IL is the height of folly for . farm CT to plod, toll and labor blindly day by day and expect 10 acccm. plish much, when his constitution is gradually giving way through this hard ordeal and, meantime, he is growing less capable, mentally as we'll as physically, to conduct the ordinary affairs of life. The farmer who reads little and as a consequence thinks less, is apt to let his work drive him, and is rarely ever in condition to drive his work.
 This should not be, and can only be avoided by carefully and intelli- gently planning all the details of farm albor. Tine time spent in plan. ming, ,thetesting of the best and most approved farm method and i'm proved farm machinery, is better, far better, emL loved than though spent in hard manual labor on the farm.
 Read think in> estigate and then plan well and intelhgent!y before you begin the labor of the season Do this, aud it will be found tha' half of the labor of the season i, accomplished ere the manual part is well under way.

Salt Rhcum or Eczema.

In April, 1885, there appeared on my feet and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum, which pro- duced intense suffering. 1 tried a great many remedies, and had the attention one of our best physi- clans, but received no permanent relief. The disease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly infamed. 1 was finally in duced to try Swifts Specific, and after taking four bottles relief came. l continued, however, un- til l had taken seven bottles, and am now sound anG we'll, and not a sign of the disease left. My gen. eral health has greatly improved, and most cheerfully recommend s. $. s. as being the best blood purifier that I have ever known.

It has been demonstrated that bottled ad- yertising is superior to any and all modes.
 We have adopted the plan of placing the bulk of OUT advertising INSIDE of the bot tie and eorking it up, while others do all their worl; on the outside.
 That is the reason that B. B. B. proves so valuable in the cure of all blood diseases, Scrofulous Swellings and Sores, ,Rheumatism, Catarrh, Skin and Kidney affections.

Select Your Seed.

We cannot expect full and satis. factory crops from unsound, infer for or immature seed. To give the best results, we should make Q careful selection of seed from tue crops grown on the soil, upon which we expect to resrodnce them A crop grown upon one soil will not. necessarily, repro duce itself upon a different soil, in different locality. The surcst policy will be to select from a perfect stalk per feet seed; intending to observe the same conditions as to soil and 10. cality in it's reproduction.
 This would indicate the neces-
 sity of selection from the fields. The conditions necessary 10 snc- cess cannot always be met, after the crops have been housed. They may be to some extent, with some crops, but certainly not with cot ton. Indeed, with all crops it will be far better to make the selection, as before suggested, from the growing stock, where the fullest and most satisfactory indications are made.
 In Nelson county, Va, VIC have the reported yield of l60 bushels of corn to the acre, as the result of iudicious selection of seed in the field and adaptation to the soil; and yet this corn failed in other localities, and in other soil, to make even an approximate yield. This is but one of a number of matters, that the farmer must de- termine for himself, on his own farm and under his own judgment. As individual farmers, let us give more attention to perfect seed, pro- duced upon our own soil and grown for our own use.
 Each farmer will proceed upon his own idea as to the standard of perfection. He will select from such seed as he desires to repro duce. We are not all agreed as to the best results to be sought. One farmer wants the number of cotton bolls increased on the stock; an- other selects with q view to re- dueed number, but increased size. One prefers that the limbs shall be extended and the bolls given dis tance; another prefers that tn e limbs shall be short and the fruit compact and close; another selects with an eye to the lint. and so on to the end. Whatever the prefer ence may be, careful and judicious selection will bring us nearer and nearer to the ideal in the first re- suit. The matter deserves and should receive careful attention. We have before us magnificent specimen from cotton stalk raised by MT. C. II. Mccall, Buena Vista, Ga. He writes that it is tho re. suit of constant and careful sclec- ton. So we'll satisfied is MT. Me- Call with his results. that he says he shall continue his seed selec- ton, with the assurance that his crop will be benefited each suc- ceeding year.
 These remarks apply equally to all crops. Too little attention is given to the selection of small grain. Oats sown in the fall and those sown in the spring; those sown ou red soil and those sown on gray sol are all, usually, gath cred into the same garner and sown promiscuously, the next season. The yield is inferior, the farmer is discouraged and the crop IS abused. If little care was exer- cised Tn seed selection, results would be better.

statement of all we find in that US
ually staid and reliable Journal, the
New York Economist Iu response
to an inquiry as to who are the four
richest men in the world, and the
amount Of their respective fortunes
and incomes therefrom, il states
that the Duke Of estminster has
capital Of S80,000,000. with an in
come of $3.50 per minute. Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, has 800, 900
600 capital, with an income of SO
per minute Rothchild has $780,
100000, with an income of $40 per
minute, and John w. Mackey, the
richest man in the world. has $275,.
000,000. which furnishes him the
comfortable income Of S25 per min
ute. SO far as the Duke of West
minister and Rothschild are con-
cerned, the estimates may be near
the truth, but as to Jones and
Mackey's fortunes they are simply
idiculous. Jay Gould and Van
