an explanation of one of his election day
dispatches which went west. He should

For almost century it has been controlled
largely by one family, the Bayards, in this

pocket borough than like an American State.
Since the beginning of this century three
Bayards, father, son and grandson, have
occupied almost continually a seat in the
United States Senate, and once. in 1875,
both of Delaware's Senatorial seats were

Treble cropping land

1t is surprising how much may be
made of a small area by hand Ia Dor.
In a village garden, barely large
enough to plow, We saw this season
FIRST a crop OF early sown peas.
Before these were of rows Of beans
were planted in the spaces between
the peas. About the first Of July the
pea vines were pulled up, the ground
dug over, and cabbage planted where
the peas lad stood. Thus three crops
are made from the same land. 1t

precludes the use OF the horse in

HastIngs . pakota Land crant.

Congressman Lind, Of Minnesota, in an
argument before the senate committees ON
public lands, recently reviewed the severa
bills before congress substantially as fol-
lows: Early in the session he introduce
ed a bill embracing the propositions that
he advocated; later hia colleague, Judge
Mcdonald, introduced q bill to forfeit all
the lands west OF Glencoe, which was prac-
tically all the lands granted to the road.
That the public LANDS committee amend
ed the latter bill so that when it
was reported back to the house
by Judge Mcdonald it forfeited only such
lands as had not been patented TO the
company, and that there was less than
2.QO0 acres in that condition. That II it
was lie the power Of congress to forfeit this
small quantity, then it had the power to
forfeit the whole grant, and while he did
not urge that. he did insist that all the
land which had not been certified to the
company before the sale OF the road. that
is before February 1880, shauld be for
feited. He cited a decision Of the Mime
sota supreme court FORGETTING the charter Of
the company and decreeing IL dissolved, and
read from the decision to show the cause OF
this amendment to the charter WAS the
fact that the company had failed for two
years to carry on any business as q rail-
read company. and that under the stat
utes Of the state this Was sufficient cause
for the loss 81 Its charter. He aiHo showed
that the same statue which made this fail-
ure to act cause Of forfeiture. also provid-
should be deemed to have surrendered it's
rights, privileges and franchise. and the
1ame should be forfeited. Mr.. Lind claim
ed that the right TO receive and hold land
was a franchise, and had been forfeited by
the company.

A good deal can be- told oSa field
oil potatoes by a good Judge merely
seeing them as he passes along the
road. Though the tuber is Under
ground its productiveness is usually
indicated BY the more or less yigor-
Gus growth OF stems andleaves above.
Too many small stems indicate a
reat number Of small potatoes. This
is often the fault OF varieties that
grow their tubers IN bunch. Those
which spread more will beer much
heavier seeding. The Peach Blow ex1

too much for seed, though il pIa nted
whole only three or four eyes will
grow. Those which start FIRST absorb
this strength that belongs to the 9th

Coal for Tnrsshlng Machines.

Most threshing Is now done by
steam, the engines running the sepa-
rator mitch cheaper than horses can,
and doing quicker and better work.
There is great difference in eng;ees an
the amount Of coal required, and
something also is due to the manage
ment, the machine and condition OF
the grain and straw. II q steady,
continuous flow OF the straw were
possible, the strain on the engine is
less Ia proportion to the work accom-
plished. In very hot weather less
coal is needed to get up steam It is
better to have an eight or ten-horse
power even where a smaller power
will do the work. The latter will
strain and tug, and beless economical.

Killing Old Hens.

Unless the thinnlng-off process Is
continually followed. any fock of
poultry will very rapidly deteriorate.
Only the most promoting should be
saved for breeding. Old hens SHOULD
generally be thrown out for eating,
and if in good condition, az they are
ifnot allowed to set, they make an
excellent recourse to the farmers wife
at i season when it is hard TO. get
fresh meat in the country or to keep
it fresh when got. Kill the old hens
before they begin inoulting, saving
only those intended for setting next
season, as they make better mothers
than do young pullets, while the
latter lay more eggs.
