When the United States senate is doing
business under what is known as the five
minute rule President Ingalls, limits the
time of the speakers not by his watch but
by an ancient sand-glass which has been
in use by the senate for many years. AS

glass is set and as soon as the sand has all
run out, in just five minutes that is, dow
comes the presidents gravel.

AT a discussion of the Bedford On.
" Farmers Club, Rev. j. G. Hoyt
declared that on the farm to-day
poultry is king-not cotton or corn. as
we used to hear. Take the official re-
port for 1883 as an example. The wheat
product of that year was worth 1888, =
600. 900; the cotton product, 80 0O0.-
600; the dairy product 1854, 600, 600.
But the poultry product was worth
$500 000 900. half again as large as tho
cotton product, and larger than both
the iron and steel products together.
Still it is not rs large as it ought to be.
In the year named we imported To-
100000 dozen of eggs. worth 81 677,
