The discussion which occurred yester-
day when the application ofthe Cheyenne
4 Northern railway company, for the
calling of a special election for the pur-
pose of voting bonds, was received by the
board Of county commissioners, in part
grew out Of that portion of the law which
relates tn the filing of bond by the com
pany when the application is made At
once it was discovered and conceded BY all
that the law was defective in not requiring
a bond to be given, and it was further
seen that had the amendment to the bill
been made as it was proposed by The
LEADER, instead Of leaving out the most
important provision it contained, there
would now be no difficulty with the law
nor occasion to require a further amend
ment.

The members of the house OF represen-
%tatives, now that the session is very near
its close, are beginning to feel like school
boys just prior to the end of a term OF
school. Yesterday the throwing of paper
wads began and was kept up from time
to time during the greater part of the
day to the great amusement of some, but
to the annoyance of others. Finally one
of the members threw a large wad at
Keefe, which missed him but hit a lady
spectator who was sitting up near the
speakers desk, which prompted her to
withdraw quite indignant, as well she
might be. This episode occurred while
the house was in committee of the whole.

For quite . number OF years have

palyerired aud sowed with oats, two bush.
els per acre. and al the same time seeded
10 grass. In nearly every case . good
"caich" has been secured. But there IL
one great objection TO the method. which
Is the very heavy growth OF straw and con.
seqaent lodging OF the oats, causing them
to blight.
Have tried seeding with Hungarian grass.
bat got q poor "eatch," from crowding
and, I think, the depredatious OF grasshop.
pers, which viii not eat the Hungarian,
but feast on the young grass. protected by
the rank growth OF the grain.
Last year I had small piece OF close
land. prepared for the seed In the fall. and
sowed Il as early In the spring a. possible.
allowing Il 10 settle into the mud. There
was q fne growth OF grass a. ever saw.
