SENATE. On the 18th Sherman re-
ported concurrent resolution request
ing the president TO invite from time 70
time negotiations with any government
with which the United States has diplo.
matte relations to the end that any diff
ferences between the governments
which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic
agencies may be referred to arbitration
and peacefully adjusted by such means.
Hale called up Morgans resolution as
to the fishery treaty, and addressed the
senate on the subject He declared
that fishermen would agree to no sure
surrender in this matter; that their
voices were against the treaty. Not a
vessel had sailed from Princetown,
Gloucester, Marblehead, Portland, Cas-
tine or Booth Bay since the treaty
whose master and crew had not sent
back execrating protests against the
treaty. Hale spoke of the enormous
subsidies to the Canadian Pacific rail-
road company and said the course of
Great Britain in that matter ought to be
watched with jealous scrutiny by every
American administration. The resolu-
ton was postponed. The District of
Columbia appropriation bill was passed.
Blair moved to take up the senate bill
for the adjustment of the accounts of
laborers, workmen and mechanics aris-
ing under the eight-hour law. Several
votes were taken without a quorum,
and the senate adjourned.
HousE-Payne, of Pennsylvania,

crate army, leave to attend the reunion
TO be held in July next at Gettysburg.
A call for the regular order operated as
an objection. The house then went into
committee of the whole on the tariff bill.
Payne moved to have stricken from the
free list vegetable substances. Defeat.
ed. Mcmillan moved to place upon the
free list bags of jute for grain. This
motion led to long discussion of a po-
litical nature between General Spinola
and Mr.. Nutting, of New York. The
motion was then agreed to.

labor bestowed In its cultivation should
not be charged wholly to the corn crop,
but also to the succeeding crop. There
are several modes of cultiyating
corn. hut in this section the
'.check-row" system is in general
use. as it permits of cultivating the
crop In two directions The most inn
portant matter is good seed, and it
should be of a variety that has been
tried in the neighborlood where the
crop is to be grown, as some varieties
do best in certain sections only. Eex5
in Importance is plenty of manure. az
the crop is gross feeder and grows
rapidly. The young plants should re-
ceiVe more cultivation when Just be-
ginning to make Roadway than later
on. in order to gain a good send-of be-
fore the dry season (should il happen)
shall come on. Some farmers do not
work the corn thoroughly, allowing
grass and weeds 10 make progress be-
fore going into the field with the
cultiVator. A corn crop should al
ways be kept clean. The grass and
weeds should be killed as soon as high
enough TO be seen. There are two
reasons for so doing. One is that the
seeds of weeds and grass are induced
to terminate by frequent cultivation,
thus destroying a larger number, as
well as avoiding the seeding of those
that got ahead of the corn. Another
reason for frequent cultivation is that
by keeping the ground loose the fine
earth serves as a mulch and presents
to certain extent, loss of moisture
from the soil. as well as rendering the
plant food of the soil more soluble.
Corn may be planted now. and the
cultivation should begin as soon as the
corn can be seen in the rows. -PhilG-

THE cINCTSNATT PARADE.

CINCINNATI, June 13.-This was the
big day of the Knights of Pythias con-
elave. The parade was grand success,
over $4,000 knights participating. The
brigades were arranged in the order of
their age. The Indiana brigade, the
Oldest in the order came first. The
knights were reviewed by Supreme
Chancellor Douglass from the grand
stand erected for that purpose. At the
session of the supreme lodge to-day
numerous arguments were presented
pro and con on the question of estab-
fishing ladies rank in the order. The
majority favored such an innovation,
and it is likely that legislation 10 that
end will result at this meeting. The
resolution providing for the erection of
pythian temple at Washington as q
permanent headquarters was adopted.
The. question of the dis
loyal Pennsylvania representatives
was up for discussion again to-day.
Among the chancellor's recommenda-
tions was that the loyal grand lodge
be recognized as the grand lodge of
PENNSYLVANIA Knights of Pythias
Tonight grand concert was rendered
Supreme Chancellor Douglass by the
citizens Of Cincinnati. IL was an ele-
giant affair. Among the songs rendered
was one written by the founder Of the
Knights Of Pythias order, Justus II.

biggest days march they have ever had.

invitation TO the supreme lodge TO hold
its next biennial meeting there. IL was

tons of earth. The strong and CHEAP
twenty-five cent baskets now made are
used in gathering potatoes. and enough
OF these baskets TO make a wagon load.
The use of baskets obYiates the neces-
sity Of handling the potatoes again.
They are drawn to the barn, where, on
cool side, a SLATED floor is provided.
and they are gently emptied from the
basket 10 this floor.
The tendency to rot is prevented to
some degree by not brtlsing. laying in
stead OF throwing them into the bas-
kets when they are picked up, and
again emptying the baskets carefully.
Additional rot is secured by having the
tubers perfectly clean. A third and
very important aid is in the ventilation

two or three months, covering them
with layer of straw 10 exclude light

~ handling or Manipulating required is
in placing them in the baskets In the
field after digging and conveying them
from the barn to the cellar.
Some farmers may improve this
management but observe the four re-
quisites-early digging as soon as
growth ceases, careful handling, clean
tubers and ventilation through warm
weather and in autumn on the Slated
door. They are more liable to rot if
left long time in the ground, especI-
ally during heavy rains; and after dig
giDg rot is increased bg placing them
wet in large, unventilated heaps
Early harvesting gives another ad-
vantage. As soon as the ground is
cleared the harrow is run two or three
times across the rows, leaving the
ground level and mellow; and if corn
or corn fodder is to follow next spring
spread moderate coat of manure,
break IT up with the harrow. and then
in few weeks. when the young weeds
are springing up. turn the whole I'M
der the plough and sow two bushels of
rye to the acre. This will make q
good green crop to turn under by the
middle of next May, and the manur-
ing and green rye will give good
crop OF corn or fodder in connection
with good cultivation. - Practical
