sTATIsTICs OF CONGREss.

There were introduced in the two
Houses during the session 1902 meas.
ures, of which 1904 were House bills
and pa House joint resolutions, and
1891 bills and IS joint resolutions of the
Senate. The measures proposed for en-.
actment into laws exceeded in number
by 2,9l9 those introduced at the first
session Of the Forty.eighth Congress.
OF the entire number comparatively few
were of what may be termed national
Importance. The greater number were
measures OF q private nature or of merely
local Importance.
A very small percentage of the whole
number of bills introduced, of either q
general o r~private nature, became laws,
a comparatively small number succeeded
in getting through the committees to
which they were referred and reaching
the Calendars of the respective Houses.
Some secured passage in the House in
which they originated, but failed Of
action in the other branch; and a very
large number still remain un~considered
by the committees to which they were
referred.
The total number of measures that
passed both Houses was l,l0l, being
24l Senate bills and $50 bills which
originated in the House. OF these l,095
were received by the President. and of
that number Sl4 were approved, Isl be-
came laws without the Presidents sig.
nature, lis were vetoed and 9 failed for
want of signature at the time of ad.
journment, ten days not having expired
since they reached the President. OF
the new laws JAG were House measures
and 241 Senate measures. The laws
that became such by limitation were,
with two exceptions, private pension
relief bills. The exceptions were the
bill to authorize the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Gulf Railway to construct a
railway through the Indian Territory
and that to retire Lieutenant Randall.
OF the measures vetoed by the President
sc were Senate bills and " bills of the
House.

Around the World on a RlcHcle..

Thomas Stevens, the special correspon-
dent of Outing, on bicycle trip around
the globe, writes as follows TO friend in
New York City.
UTeheran, March 9. / start eastward to-
morrow morning on the continuation OF
my journey around the world. General
Melnikoh, the Russian Minister at the
Shahs court promised me yesterday that
he would telegraph to General Komarof
at Agterabad to remove all official OBJ
stacles from my route through Central
Asia and Siberia. The Russian CORES
pendent Of the St. Petersburg Nora
VreU,va who some time ago announced
his intention of accompanying me on
horseback, has either given IL up or never
seriously intended to carry out his propo-
sitiOn [ shall therefore again pull out
alone, trusting 90 get through the Central
Asian khauares without guard, rs safely
as 1 did through Koordistan and other
places MY route then will be through
Meshed. Merv, Bokhara, Samark and Ias-
kend and on into Southern Siberia. In
Siberia / shall probably touch ut Tanks
and Irkutsk From frkutss / shall, if !
find it even more remotely practicable,
strike south through MangOlia and en-
deay0r 70 reach Pekin; if that course is
found to be impossible. / shall reach the
Pacific coast by the way of the Amoor
valley The distance from here TO the
north of the Amoor II not far from G,O0O
miles pretty long pull for bicycle
over the camel paths and desert wastes Of
Asia and by route where no extra tires Or
anything can reach me. But the distance
is mefelya question of time, health and
perseverance. and If my tire gives out
can no doubt improvise makeshift tires
from rawhide. BY the time this reaches
you / shall probably have reached Merv
Or Bokbara. My bicycle is in excellent
condition; my own health is splendid,
and everything seems TO augur well for
successful termination of the journey
around the world.

ductive of much good, and the results are
noticeable here and there in plans which
promise greater degree Of prosperity in
the future
For instance, Randolph County ships
no hay. The location and character of
her lands are, in a special manner favor
able to the growth of that product, but
heretofore producers looked almost en-
tirely to the wheatfelds for profit, and
there is not balingsmachine in the
county. Mr.. j. II. Dickey, an enterpris-
ing business man here, and in former
years practical farmer offers TO furnish
baling machines at a moderate rental per
bale and purchase the whole crop. 1t Is
believed that many farmers viii take ad-
vantage of this offer, and that the coming
fall will find an increased acreage sown
to timothy.
In connection with this, and as showing
how little has been done in hay raising in
this section, it is worthy of remark that
the annual crop of ten counties lying
southeast of this point, and including Ran
dolph is not more than 40,005 tons. There
are no less than $4,000 counties in the
State, each haying annual yield equal to
that of the ten, and eight counties whose
average crop is reported at about 10000
tons.

Live Fence Posts.
From the Rural World.

On lines where permanent fences are to
be desired, say on boundary lines of per-
manent pastures, posts that would not
need to be renewed every eight or ten
years would be desirable.
When wire is used ii is quite practicable
to provide living post at very light
cost. Along the fence row, either before
or after the fence has been made cuttings
of willow or cottonwood can be planted
from eight to sixteen feet apart, and in
tour or five years will be large enough to
fasteu the wires to.
After the trees are as large as desired
for posts, the tops may be cut off so as to
prevent too much shading of the land, if
this is an objection. A few branches left
on the post will keep it alive. If there is
no shade in the pasture it would be we'll
20 let the tops remain, trim up the trunks
so that the wind can sweep under and
thus make a shade for the stock. The
trees will also add beauty to the farm.
Instead of mailing the wires direct to
the trees, better plan would be to fasten
an upright cleat to the trunk and the
wires to that, otherwise the wires will be-
come imbedded in the wood.
