WASHINGTON, July S.-Resolutions for
inquiry into the authority under which a
sO-called state legislature had been organ
lied in the territory Of Dakota were in
definitely postponed.
Bills to accept and ratify the agreements
with the Indians in Washington territory
for the use of part Of Yakima reservation
by the Northern Pacific railroad, and for
right of way to the Carson & Colorado
railroad through the Walker River reser-
vation in Nevada, were passed.

sions was on motion of Mr.. Platt made the
special order for Wednesday, December
Sth.
| The bill to establish a forest reservation
on the headwaters of the Missouri river
and on the headwaters of Clarkes Fork Of
the Columbia river was passed.
The senate then resumed consideration
| of the river and harbor appropriation bill,
| the pending amendment being to reduce
the appropriation for the Kentucky river
from $250,00O to 100000. The amendment
was lost-yeas, 81: nays, 26. The merits OF
the amendments appropriatipg SS5O,O0O for
the purchase of the Portage Lake canal
and the Lake Superior canal were pre-
sented by Mr. Conger, who submitted res
olutions of the legislatures Of Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,, urg-
ing congress to make waterway COM
posed of these two canals free to the COM
merce of the country, and petitions
! Of various chambers of commerce and
boards of trade to the same effect.
The amendment was adopted without divi-
sion. The Hennepin canal amendment
having been reached, 1t was strongly advo-
| Gated by Mr.. Collum. He said the con-
struction of the Hennepin canal would
enable vessels, fully armed and equipped,
to pass down the Mississippi to the Gulf
coast or through the canal to the lakes,
and would make such means Of defense

nation whenever needed. Vest opposed the
Hennepin clause. Logan hoped the time
would come when the people, whenever
there was necessity to give cheap trans
portation, would provide for it by canal or

HOUSE

CONSIDERING THE PRESIDENTS vEToEs.
The speaker laid before the house
twenty-one veto messages transmitted by
the president yesterday. The first mes
sage read was referred without comment
to the committee on invalid pensions, but
the disposition Of the next message. vetoing
the bill granting pension to Edwin L.
Harrington, caused discussion. Mr..
Watson, of Indiana, moved it's reference,
pending which, Mr.. Holmes, of Iowa,
stated that reference of the bill would be
the end of it, moved that its consideration
be postponed until Friday next. Yeas, 9S;
nays, 12I. Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
moved to amend by adding instructions
requiring the committee on invalid pen
sions to report the bill and message back
on Friday. Mr.. Jackson, of Pennsylvania,
attacked the veto policy of the president.
Mr.. Mcmillan, Of Tennessee, said the pres
ent presidenG has signed more private pen
sion bills than any other president in the
same space of time.
Mr.. Jackson-and he has vetoed ten
times more good ones than all other presi-
dents put together.
Mr.. Burrows motion to instruct was
lost-yeas, 1O9; nays, 1874. .
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. sSid there were
great questions in this country calling for
the attention Of the executive, yet the pres
ident brushed them all aside and appeared
anxious to cater to nobody except that lit
tie solid knot that came from the solid
south. He wanted to get their applause.
They cast their solid votes in the nominal
ing conventions. There he stood, looking
through a gimlet hole with magnifyine
glass, hunting for excuses and heaping de-
rision upon the heads of the poor men who
lost their health in the service of their
country. That was craftsmanship. IRE

ing applause and laughter from the demo-
crats.] "Oh, yes" continued Mr.. Cannon,
"and Itell you that you will have to defend
it before November" [Renewed applause
on the democratic side.I
Mr.. Watson moved the previous question
as bill. Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, wished
to discuss it, and the republican members
supported the latter by refusing to vote
thus fillibustering until o'clock came.

MISCELLANEOUS.
TALKING RACK,

IALhlNG BACh.
The senate pensions committee reports
back number of private bills vetoed by
the president, among them that Of Alfred
Denny, man who claimed to have been
injured by contact with the horn of his
saddle, and in respect to whose case the
president incidentally remarked, "These
saddles were very dangerous contriv-
ances." The pension committee says: "The
sneer in the veto at the wounds received by
so many of our gallant cavalrymen during
their long rides and furious charges in war,
indicates the state of mind that incapaci-
tates, at least temporarily, the official from
impartially considering pension claims. 1t
would be we'll if the horns of public indig-
nation could be so applied that our soldiers
could get simple justice in these times of
peace
NOMINATIONS.
The following nominations were sent to
the senate to-day: Fitz John Porter, late
colonel of the Fifteenth infantry, to be
colonel in the army of the United States.

be assistant adjutant general with rank of
major.
Confrmed-Hugh Smith Thompson, as
sistant secretary of the treasury.
NOTES.

and to-day in examining private pension
bills. He signed. large number and re-
turned several others to congress this af-
ternoon with veto message. The regular

order to allow the president to give his un-
divided attention to these cases.

DOES GRASS INJURE ORCHARDS

1t is contended 10y some that the
growing Of grass in the orchard de-
prives the trees Of the nourishment
taken from the soil by the grass,
which is undoubtedly true, but the
grass may receive fertilizer or ma
nure, which will counteract any in
furious effects in that respect. 1t
a be shown that grass is injurious,
and it can be made apparent that it
is also beneficial to orchards. The
injury to the orchard arises when
the grass is pasturt't by stock. The
damage isnot great when lightstock,
such as sheep or hog, + permitted
the use of the orchard occasionally,
but when the horses and cattle are
turned in they pack the soil Of the
orchard into a firm and solid mass,
which snot favorable to the feeding
abilities Of the roots. Orchards
should not be kept IN sod continually.
Once in a while the grass should be
turned under, by simply turning the
sod over with a ont-horse p'Ow, in
OIuCI IlOU W Cover tilC SUI tOO NcCD-
ly, and to allow it to rot quickly. 1t
should then be seeded down again.
and if with some other kind of grass
so much the better. When All OF
chard is in grass, especially if it is
allowed to remain undisturbed ex-
cept when moved, the soil is pro-
tected from drought, and a larger
proportion of moisture is retained.
If left to grow so as to leave a mass
Of dead grass on the ground, an ex-
cellent mulch is afforded for winter.
In the spring this should be burnt
off, which will not only destroy in
sects and many seeds Of weeds, but
also fungi and germs Of disease, leav-
ing the field clean and easily fertil-
lied. Heavy crops Of grass, how
ever, demand food, and the orchard
should be we'll cared for in that re-
spect or the trees will be dwarfed or
iniured.-Fdrmer's Friend.

COSTLY MACHINERY

This is a subject which may prof.
tably engage the attention Of farm
ers' clubs. With proper machinery
the productive capacity of the farmer
is immensely increased, but there are
certain kinds Of machinery which
+ 81 costly as to place the owning
of them beyond the reach of the
small farmer. Take, for instance,
grain drills, the most improved cot
ton planters, mowers, reapers and
threshers. The rich farmer can af-
ford to have any Of these, because
he has means, and the amount of
work he has for them to do will soon
pay him back the cost price but
the farmer of small means and COM
parativeIy few acres, would find
them a heavy investment. In por-
tons of Kentucky the farmers have
a cooperative method by which they
get the S of the costly machinery
they need at the least cost to each.
A number of neighbors combine and
purchase for their own common use
machinery of this character, and
then SO pitch their crops that they
may be harvested without conflicting
with each other. Thus they all get
the benefit of the use of this ma
chinery as etfectually as if each one
owned a machine himself, at a COM
paratively small cost.
What the Kentucky farmers do by
their method of cooperation, our
farmers clubs can do, at a small cost
to each member when the clubs are
as large as they should be, or even
when they are small. Reapers, say,
sell from 500 to 1925; mowers from
$50 to S65 horse rakes from S22 to
$50; grain drills, $95 to 800; horse
corn-pIanters and cultivators, $50 to
$40; stump pullers, $50 to $50 and
so on. To buy any one o these would
be a severe tax on the average small
farmer, but there is no club of ten
or more members that could not buy
one or more of these machines with
out feeling the cost, while they would
answer the purposes Of ten or more
as we'll as if each member owned a
machine. We throw this out as
a suggestion for III farmers
clubs as the time is drawing nigh
when harvest machinery will be in
demand.

horses and cattle, better ilch cows
and more milk and butter, lives bet
ter and more at home, and is on the
way to independence, if he<has not
already reached it. When we see
rich pastures and fat cattle we know
that the people who<own them are
all right, and are not passing sleep
less nights studying how to meet a
mortgage forfertilizers and advances
furnished to raise a crop which is a
drug on the market and does not
command money enough to pay for
the cost of cultivation, so often the
case with men who go wild over cot
ton and tobacco to the neglect of
everything else. We like the views
of our Trinity College friends on
this subject as expressed in their last
discussion of the farmers club, pub
lished in this issue of the The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER, which we COM
mend to the attentive consideration of
farmers generally, but to tobacco rails
ers in particular. These are the views
of practical, sensible, educated far
mers, who know whereofthey speak.

Much excellent work has certain
ly been already done at this farm,
which adjoins the State fair grounds
on the west side. Ten acres of it are
outside the fair grounds and twenty
five acres inside. Alhas been thrown
into one e%nclosure. A new and very
neat fence has Been put up on the
south and west sides> The ground
has been carefully graded and clear
ed Of all stumps, roots and brush.
At the highest point the farm house
will be built, and work on it will be-
gin in a few days. 1t will be a model
$1,000 farm house. A greenhouse,
for plants, will be built near it, with
suitable outhouses, etc. One of the
buildings used as an exposition res
taurant is now utilized in expert
ments with plants and seeds, with
regard to termination, propagation,
etc. The State Agricultural Society
has given the department Of agri-
culture the privilege of utilizing the
vacant space inside the race track
and elsewhere in tn. fair grounds,
for the planting of grain, etc. As a
result, the place now presents very
attractive appearance, and the i'm
provements will be of a character to
improve the fair grounds in many
ways, as visitors to the next fair will
discover. The farm house, green
houses, ETC., will then be completed
and as we'll as the farm will specially
interest visitors. The fair and farm
go well together.-RaIeigh Neus ana
