StenOgraphic Experts.
New York Telegraph.

There are some marvels of stenographic
reporting performed in the senate and
house each day, and about the most fas-
cinating sight in congress is to see these
men covering page after page with
curious characters almost as fast as the
eye can follow. Each day The Congress
siOnaL Record comes out with verbatim
report of the proceedings of the last ses-
sion. Not unfrequently The Record reach
es the size of good sized book, and to
the uninitiated the wonder is how the ten
reporters succeed in preparing such a
mass of matter in SO short a time. 1t is
all the result of system which has grown
up with years, and which is well-nigh per-
feet. There are five stenographers in
each branch, and they hold their offices
year after year irrespective of the rise
or fall of political dynasties. The
senate pays for its re porting with a
lump sum $4,000 for each year. The
contract is made with Mr.. J. D. Murphy,
who is acknowledged to stand at the head
of the profession in this country. Mr..
Murphy is a short, stout man, with-iron
hair and full beard. He has little desk
in front of the clerks stand and does the
greater part of the senate reporting him
self. Mr.. Murphy does his work easily
and without any apparent trouble. No
matter whether Mr.. Beck, or Mr.. Hawley,
or some of the other lightning takers are
going ahead under full pressure, or the
slow-spoken and ponderous Evarts is
blowing along in debate, it is all the same
to Mr. Murphy. He gets all there is said.
The reporters in the senate sit at their
desks, because the chamber is a small one
and there is usually perfect quiet. In the

and there with their notebooks, following
this or that speaker. The chief of the
house corps is J. J. McElhone. He made
his reputation in the famous debate upon
the electorate count bill. At the climax
of the debate, when there were fully a
dozen men speaking at once, Mr.. Noel
hone jumped to his feet, notebook and
pencil in hand. He did not take his eye
from the paper, but when the scene had
passed he had every word of it. The re-
port in the next days Record was alb
| solutely correct; indeed, not an actor in
| that famous scene ever complained that
he had been misquoted. Mr.. McAlhone is
tall man, with decidedly Hibernian
| cast of features. His head is small and
round, and his gray hair stands straight
up all over it. He is regarded as the
| swlftest and most accurate of all the house
reporters. None of the stenographers
| write out their notes. In the house the
men take ''trlckS" of ten Or fifteen min
utes each, at the expiration of which they
rush down stairs, where there are a dozen
or more stenOgraphers in waiting. They
read the debate as they have taken it, and
these assistants in turn take 1t in short
hand and subsequently reduce it in writ
ing for the printers. The house reporters
are paid $4,000 year.

Pressure i'm orn-PIanting.

A recent bulletin of the New York ex-
pertinent station, in discussing this point
says: Oftentimes corn that is planted
early is put in the ground while the land
is in a lumpy condition, and no pressure
brought to bear to bring the soil in close
contact with the corn. The open spaces
about the seed tend to retard ander the
varying conditions of the weather and
moisture often destroy, the germinature
process. So marked is its influence that
the percentage of termination by actual
trial as observed between two plats, both
of which were planted at the same time
but upon one the soil was firmly pressed
upon the seed with the foot, and upon the
other the seed carefully covered by means
of a hoe, in the ordinary method, was
largely in favor of the trodden plat. This
trial was in accordance with practical
experience in farming, whereby it was
found that the gain in crop through the
use of a Western corn planter, whose
wheel compressed the soil over the seed
as planted, Compensated largely for the
additional first expense of the machine
so much so that even it may be said that
even it may be said that under conditions
of the locality noted a farmer could bet
ter afford to himself plant his corn crop
with machine than to accept the gift
of planting with noe.

because the large farms are being divided
aud the steam plough can not be en-
ployed advantageously in small fields.
Millers all advise to cut wheat early, as
it then makes more -four in proportion
to husk. Farmers say that by leaving
it later greater weight Of grain is pro-
duced, and as millers make no difference
in prices, the practice of deferring cut
ting Is likely to increase.
IL the pillow or other steel implements
has became very rusty, make mixture of
half pint of oil of vitriol poured slowly
into quart of water, and apply to the
rusted metal. Wash off with water and
scour in the usual manner. 1t is better,
however, not to let any implements get
rusty.
SENATOR BUCK, of Vacaville, used the
following recipe for the insects pests with
excellant results and recommends it for
the spring and summer use: Twenty-Five
pounds of tobacco stems, stripped; 10
pounds of sulphur; 10 pounds whaleoil
soap; pounds of potash or concentrated
I've; $50 gallons of water. Apply as hot
as can be done with safety.
The small economies of the farm are by
no means insignificant. The small econ
omies-saving of either labor or material
are often what makes the profits in any
department of business, and perhaps in
10 less degree in that of the farmer.
There is right and wrong way to do
everything and the right way is the easy
way, because the best and most economi

CONTRASTING.
Colorado Farmer,

SO soon as the ground is dry, prepare
your corn ground by blowing at least six
inches deep-better eight. Harrow the
ground thoroughly, and as soon as posi-
bic after blowing, plant with horse corn
planter. The ground should be marked
both ways. Be very careful to drop the
corn in the checks, for if it is not thus
planted it is difficult to pillow close to the
hills. So soon as you are through plant
ing your corn, put on to the ground a
common fOrty-twO-tOOthed Scotch harrow
and harrow the ground two or three
times, or until the corn is up high enough
to pillow. Have no fear of hurting the
corn. You may destroy a few stalks of
corn, but for every one of them so hurt
you will kill ten thousand weeds. One
good narrowing of the coru-field just af-
ter planting is worth two plowings if de-
layed until the corn and weeds are both
up. The weeks will start before the corn,
and the time to kill them is just as they
are sprouting through the ground.
When the corn is up, say four inches
high, aud it will not hurt it to harrow it
until this time, put the corn-plow to work.
Use shields to prevent the tender plant
from being covered with clods, but pillow
close as possible to the hills. Discharge
at once the hired hand who does not I'M
cover every hill that clods may bury;
make him take his time and pillow careful
~ the first time.
At the second blowing the shields may
be raised so that fine dirt can be thrown
under them and around the corn, so that
the weeds that are in and close to the
hill can be buried. Plow deeper this
time.
At the third blowing and if the ground
has been narrowed thoroughly two Or
three times after planting, this blowing is
sufficient, take off the shields and set the
pillow deep, but do not pillow too close to
the hills. An expert plowman can at this
blowing thin out the hills that have too
many stalks.

FARM NOTES.

A New York bee-keeper reports that his
net receipts from fOrty-six wives were
1916.
Italy has over 100000 acres of com
mercial forests, over 100000 of private
forests, and only 100000 acres of state
forests.
Never plant black raspberry roots from
an old, WORKOUT plantation. If the old
plant is thrifty and healthy, age makes
no difference.
The only remedy for rust on blackber-
ries is to dig aud burn all affected plants
at once, and to renew the same from some
young plantation not affected.
The watering troughs are liable to get
full of filth and rubbish, and will need at
tention every day. The water for horses
should be as pure as can be secured.
It costs just as much to make poor but
ter as to make good article, hence lit
tie cara and patience during the process
will give better results with increased
profit.
1t is much easier to keep an animal fat
than to fatten it; hence the stock should
always be kept in good condition, as they
can be then more readily prepared for
market.
Nine times out of ten the farmers will
realize more from any grain crop if he
disposes of it in the fall than to keep it
over winter and run the risk of waste,
damage and consequent loss.
Stick in an elm tree or two occasionally
among your grapevines. They add to
the appearance of the vineyard and also
afford protection in times of high wind.
They are regarded as valuable in every
way.

Outdoor Work for Women.

We have no patience with the superfic-
ial observers who twaddle about the de-
grading effect of out door work upon
women. They must be peculiar women
who can be more degraded" by working
in Gods pure air, amid the beautiful
sights and sounds of nature, among the
wonderful plants of garden and field
than by being cooped up in hot kitchen
handling pots and kettles, doing cham
ber-work and mending old clothes. No
honest work is degrading to any man or
woman unless it in ures the moral nature
or weakens the body. We owe our hus,
bands, and wives, and children, and our
Maker the duty of performing the work
before US to the best of our ability. We
also owe to them the duty of doing the
work we are best fitted for, and to take
good care of our bodies in order that we
may do our work well.
No industrial pursuit Is better fitted
for women, and they do it, than horticul-
ture, the 6 ulture of fruits, flowers and
vegetables, for pleasure or profit. AL
ready millions of women cultivate and
love as pets the few Towering plants and
vines in their windows; thousands know
the pleasure of flower beds; and hun
dreds are practicing the art of gardening
on larger scale as profession. May
their efforts succeed, and may thousands
more join their number. Thus horticul-
ture will be hOnored, their own lives be
made more beautiful and useful, and man
kind be blessed by the better health and
higher aims of the mothers of Christen,

through the bed. Even when there is con-
siderable grass in pastures in the early
spring it is best to give the stock turned
to them some hay, grain aud other sorts
of food. The change from dry to green
food should be made gradually. It is de-
sirable to have some bright clover hay to
feed to stock in early spring. Roots are
also excellent for breeding at this time of
the year. If farmer has no place for
storing beets, carrots, and turuips, 1t will
be to his advantage to raise parsnips, as
they can remain in the ground all winter.
The freezing does not injure them, and
they are relished by cattle. While the
grass is young, stock should have some
dry food. Indian meal, ground oats, bran
and oil cake are all good, and the choice
between them will depend upon the loca-
ton of the farmer. Special pains should
he taken to provide dry places for cattle
to lie upon at this season of the year.

Character In Hands,

Our Oriental friends, who are of a more
slow and dignified character disapprove
Of the Western custom of taking hold of
the precious person of an acquaintance
and shaking him for welcome. It may
bemore dignifed to bow, but if frankness
and activity be our characteristics, we like
the trustful mystery of hand-clasp. It
Is an index in itself The formal and
cold characters offers straight fingers for
an instant; the dull and apathetic lets US
take hold of hand like dead fish; the
energetic business man meets an old
friend with grip that brings the water
into his eyes; the Warm-hearted takes our
hand and holds it. The nervous hand, with
IN affectionate swiftness, comes out most
readily and longingly. And is there any
thing more natural to reverent love
than the kissing of the hand that has been
bountiful in love to us? See how far we
have gone among mysteries!
Character, habits, and age are the three
things that are told by the hands. When
we draw the character of Heep, the n.y.
pocrite-and as schoolboys would say
1.-THE sneak"-Dickens did not neglect this
tell-tale: -"Oh!" what clammy hand his
was! as ghostly to the touch as to the
sight; rubbed mine afterwards to warm
1t, and to rub his off. It was such an I'M
comfortable hand, that when went to my
room, it was still cold and wet upon my
memory" Even if it be not that of Heep,
the hypocritically human hand is apt to
wrlthe and squeeze its bending fingers to-
gether.
The hand that little Jack Horner made
sticky with his own pie in his own corner,
undoubtedly became with big Jack Hor-
ner.a thick-fngered puffy index of his
partially for pies and plums.
Little does the swaggerer who chinks
his small change and cocks his thumbs
out of his pockets, imagine that his
thumbs and hands are as much his con-
demnation as the Dragging seals and the
chain that would anchor ship. The st1n-
gy man has tight hand; his fingers keep
fast hold of sixpence, and his palm
makes a careful hollow out of which it
cannot roll until he is quite sure he is
obliged to part with it.
Tha rough and the refined hand are
different with difference like that of ed
ucation in the man. The lowest extremity
of rougness is the hand of brute violence
colossal paw, of iron strength, huge with
mnscel, vein and sinew, but lacking all
constituencies and fexibility defiant in its
attitudes human tool that has been
turued into a weapon.
There are refined hands that are Grim
inal also, but there character is the more
hateful because no trace is made upon
outward perfection, and their beauty is
a lie. One reads in the well-cared for,
or, as we might say, the educated hand,
not only its own refinement, but that of
other generations the ancestors who lived
at leisure from bodily toll, whose muscles
were not stretched by labor, whose fingers
little used, went slender to the tips, whose
very fnger-nails revealed easy times, by
their oval shape. not pressed and worn
into hard-worked diminutive half, circles.
Yet one likes the strong hand moral
