Considered at farmers Institute.

The black knot on cherry and plum
trees was shown to be fungus disease
penetrating the bark. The only safe
remedy is to cut it off and then rub the
spot affected with turpentino. The to-
mato rot was also declared to be fungus,
the preventive being sulphur powder.
Col. +. d. Curtiss spoke upon pigs as o.
dairy and fruit farm necessity, and how
to feed them lean. He advocated a radi-
cal change, and said it was mistake to
think it impossible to keep pigs without
corn. Corn is the farmers ideal of every
thing, and it is all wrong. Pigs ought to
be fed but twice day, to give time for
rest and an opportunity for digestion. The
food should be strongly impregnated
with phosphate nitrogen. Feed them
with meals, turn them into rye fields,
put them in clover fields and apple orch
ards--that is heterogeneous food Follow
up with sweet cornstalks and sorghum.
The best quality of pork is made out OF
apples alone. He pictured the difference
between the effects of carbonaceous and
heterogeneous food and such a pig could he
fed so long on corn as to be starved 90
death.
DR.. J. s. woodward addressed the farm
ers upon Nitrogen, Potash and Phos-
phoric Acid" He said the air was the
great storehouse of nitrogen; another
source was the coal fields.s He described
the ammoniacal liquor of the gas facto-
ries, and said it was one of the best forms
in plants in the mines of Germany. Phos-
phoric acid builds up the frames of ami
mails, and is found in the bones Of ami
mails 1t also exists in the Stag of iron
furnaces, in natural deposits in the south,
along the st. Lawrence and in the Can
adas.

SENATE.


WASHINGTON, May 15.-On motion OF
Senator Stewart the bill for admission OF
Washington Territory as state was made
the special order for Thursday of next

tor Platt's bill for admission OF North

special order for the same day.
Senator Platt claimed that all these

ton to amend the constitution so as to

ton in both houses of congress. After
debate, the matter went over until next

vision. 1t provides that hereafter eight
hours shall constitute a days work for
letter carriers in cities or postal districts
connected Herewith.
The animal industry bill was displaced
from its position as unfinished business
and was RENTED to the calendar.
The pension appropriation%bill was
then taken up. An amendment reported
increasing the amount of the appropria-
tion from $79,00O,O00 to $50, $4,000, was
agreed to The next amendment to strike
out of the house bill the words that in all
pensions to widows payment shall be
made from the date of the death of the
husband, and to insert in lieu of it the
following: That all pensions which
have been, or which may hereafter be,
granted under the general laws regulating
pensions TO widows in consequence of
death accruing from a cause which origi-
mated in the service since March 4, 1861,
shall commence from the date of the death
of the husband.
The point of order was made that the
amendment was general legisl alton
on an appropriation. The same objec
tion applied to the house clause, but
the only remedy in the senate was to
strike it out on point Of Or
der, which did not lie against it.
After long discussion the senate de-
cided, yeas %, nays IS, that the pro-
posed amendment was in order. The
democrats generally voted in the negative,
and were Joined in this vote by Senators
Edmunds and ingalls,.
Senator Cockrell proposed that the bill
should lie over till tomorrow, end
that the committee report should be
published in the Record. The proposition
was agreed to and the bill went over until

undecided.

of labor was then taken up, but went over
without action, and after executive session
the senate adjourned.

Proceedings of the Convention Yester-
day-Speech of the Chairman.
New YORK, May 15.-The democratic
st. Louis, was called to order at quarter
before !, in the Academy of Music, and
Frederick r. Condert was chosen,t Temporal
ry chairman.
Mr.. Condert, in taking the chair, made
a speech, in which he reviewed the out
look of the democratic party four years
ago and to-day. He said: "How different
the outlook to it was-even with our san
guine hopes of 1884. Then We could only
make promises. Now we can stand upon
faith, and we say to all our fellow citizens
of the country TO whom we made pledges,
point out single pledge that
we have broken. We made you promises
when we were out of power. Point out
one of them that we have not kept. You
were told that democratic victory meant
financial distress and ruin. Look about
you now. When has our name been more
honOred at home or abroadY When has
our treasury been guarded more intelli-
gently or honestly? 1 ask what
promises we Qhave broken or
pledges we have left untitled?
refer you to the history of the last three
years. 1t is easy to draw platforms and
pirate about moral ideas.
The speaker then spoke in terms of
praise of the courage and honesty of
President Cleveland as exemplified in his
tariff measures.
At the conclusion of Chairman Conderl's
address the usual committees were ap-
pointed and recess was taken.

A Nine ear.Old Lad Stays a Younger

FANCY BLUFFS, Ga, May ia few
days ago nine year old boy murdered
his six-year-oId brother. The father
Col. John R. Williamson, with his family
had returned from journey and the
children were put to bed in the same room
Five minutes after they were startled by
the report of gun in the boys room.
When Col. Williamson reached the door
the elder boy was standing in the open
door. Ia reply to the question, "what has
happened?" he replied, 'Uh, its all right,
RobbY is hurt"
The father and mother pushed into the
room. On the bed lay their youngest
child, his head literally blown to pieces.
The weapon was heavy loaded shot gun
and must have been held within few
inches of the victim. The unconceIn of
the youthful murderer was appalling. He
admitted the killing, but said laughipgly:
whats the good of brother, any way"
Col. Williamson says that the young
murderer must be haf-witted or insane.
The brothers had always appeared to have
great love for each other.
