Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, January 19.-The Senate,
after routine business, resumed consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill and took up the
sugar schedule. No amendment was Of
fered. The paragraph as to pen-knives
and razors was then taken up, the ques-
ton being on the amendment reported to
it on the 10th instant. Vest opposed the
amendment, claiming an undue increase
on cheaper grades.
Aldrich replied to Vests argument in
regard to higher duties being placed on
cheap cutlery than OH expensive cutlery,
and said the argument had no practical
application.
The debate was continued at some
length by Plumb and Teller, the latter OF
whom twitted Vest with having made no
argument against the duty on sugar and
asked was it because that duty was in the
Mills bill.
Finally discussion of the amendment
closed and it was agreed to without di-
vision.

House announcing the passage of the
bill for the admission of South Dakota
with amendments and the bill and
amendments were referred to the Com.

we're in hopes that our contemporary,
satisfied with the injustice which it had
done to Chief Cuddy, and recollecting
the pretty decisive democratic majority
at the recent municipal election, which
majority was scarcely altogether com
posed of pimps and gamblers, had learned
a little common sense. Its rational
interval was of very short duration.

WNoNA, Minp., January 19.-Chas.
W. Seefield, of st. Charles. owner of
several elevators and warehouses along
the line of the Northern Pacific, failed
yesterday, and it is estimated that the
amount involved in the failure will
likely run up to $3.50, 900. The failure is
said to be due to speculation in Chicago.
The creditors are, for the most part, in
Chicago and st. Paul. Seefeld has not

A Victoria Dog Story.

John Clough the keeper of the dog
pond, trains every valuable animal
which comes within his jurisdiction,
and he occasionally instills into
them an intelligence which is almost
if not entirely human. He has had in
his charge for the last ten days a mag
nificent mastif for which he was Of
fered 500, but refused, as he thought
the rightful owner might come along
and claim him. He held long CONVEX
sations with the dog daily and the seed
of knowledge thus sown did not fall
on barren soil. The animal liked his
surroundings and was satisfied with
his existence and the society of his in
structor. On Saturday, however, he
learned from some unguarded remarks
let fall by the chief in conversation
with the sergeant that John was go
ing to put him up at auction. He
waited his chance and on Tuesday
morning very early he slipped his col
lar and, bringing a ladder from the
woodshed, placed it against the high
fence and Jumped over into the little
garden east of the hall. When here
he found that he had another fence
made of pickets to surmount and, be-
ing afraid that if he did not succeed
in clearing it at bound he might in
jure himself, he climbed up and broke
two of the pickets off. He then got
over quite easily and safely and fed.
He has not been found yet. Any
one doubling the facts herein set forth
can have them verified by visiting the
city hall. Victoria News.

Catarrh.

After all that has been said, it must
be admitted that changes in the climate,
filth, sewer gas, malaria and what not
have much to do with the production
of catarrh. Even Fifth avenue is so
filthy half the time as to make us feel
disguised with it. Catarrh in many
cases is nothing but a filth dis
ease, and Dr. Mackenzie, of London,
says that that is the chief cause Of
catarrh in the United States He says
there is no such thing as scavenging
in this country. This is quite true OF
some places, but there are towns
where catarrh prevails which are as
well scavenged as any town in Eng
land. But it is not New York city.
There are cases of catarrh in this city
which are undoubtedly kept up by
irritating particles floating in the at
mosphere, carried hither and thither
by the winds, such as horse dung and
fermenting, putrefying substances.
Do not consider, then, that any spe-
cialty by itself will control the situa-
ton. The treatment of the nose may
be well enough where it is indicated,
but where filth is the cause of catarrh,
something more must be done.-Dr.
Beverly Robinson.

Measuring IIay.

There is so much difference in the
quality of hay that it is impossible to de-
eide the matter accurately. 1t Is gener-
ally believed that 400 cubic feet in a large
bay, taking it right through, or 500 on
long, wide, deep scaffold will represent
a ton, says contributor to Pioneer Press.
When the hay is cut early, is stored
evenly over the NOW, is well trodden
when slowed away, and is allowed to
settle two or three months before meas
uring, perhaps it will hold out at the
above figures. When grass is allowed to
stand until nearly ripe before cutting it
will occupy nearly, if not quite, 30 per
cent. more bulk, especially on scaffold,
than the early cut, and require about
that many more cubic feet for ton.
Coarse hay, as timothy and clover,
will not weigh as heavy, bulk for bulk,
as that which is fine like common prairie
or wild hay. 1t is much more satislac-
tory to both buyer and seller to weigh
the hay when possible. In estimating
by measurement, multiply together the
figures representing the length, width
and height of the hay, and divide the
product by the number of feet in ton.
For example, if the hay is 40 feet long,
16 feet wide and IS feet from the bottom
to the top of the NOW, and the bulk
agreed is 400 feet to the ton, the NOW
will contain 40 times l6 times IS, equal
to II $50 cubic feet; | 500 divided by AGO
equals 90 tons and $50 cubic feet, or % 4-5
TONS 1t would require considerably
more than 400 cubic feet from the top of
such NOW for ton, while at the bot
tom it will have become packed so sol
idly from the great weight above it that
400 cubic feet will weigh considerably
more than 10000 pounds.

Practical Hints.

Liquid manures for quick action in

Early Cabbage.-The Wakefield shows

One cause for mildew on gooseberries,
grapes, ETC., is too thick foliage or being
grown with too thick tops. Thin out
thoroughly and you will prevent mildew
to great extent. Currants and goose
berries should be well and heavily
mulched with coarse litter.

FLOWING BIZ STEAM.
The Question Of Its Practicability Dis
cussed by Progressive Farmers.

The Question OF Its Practicabinty Ds-
cussed by Progressive Farmers.
Traction engines versus horse power
was question open for discussion In the
columns of recent issue of Rural New
Yorker. The commentaries of men who
have tried blowing by steam were to the
effect that it is practicable on large farms
where the area of land to be broken up
is large, and with big grain crops to be
threshed, silage to be cut and hay to be
pressed. G. F. Miller, Of Gonzales, Tex,
thinks steam power too expensive to ever
come into general use, except on large
farms, and says it is not adapted to the
cultivation of crops after these are
planted.
On the other hand, w. L. Sherwood.
of Brashear, Mo-, says:
81 have no doubt that in few years
steam plows will be used as much as the
self binder is now used to cut grain. For
when one gets his blowing done he has a
first class steam engine, large enough to
run a threshing machine, saw mill,
feed mill, or any other farm machinery.
The size of the farm a man has doesn't
make any differences: if he hasn't enough
to do for himself. he can always find
other people who want blowing and other
work done, although it is better if per-
son has farm large enough to keep his
machine employed all the time"
The opinion was expressed by G. w.
Hughes that: I'm a few years steam
plows will be in general use all over the
country, like steam threshers, and that
every man who gets traction engine
for threshing will get one large enough
to pull plows, and he go around blowing
just as he now goes around threshing."
j. n. Manchester, Belle Centre, O., be
lieves that steam blowing will become
general on all large farms. He uses his
engine for hauling grain to market, saw
ing wood and lumber, threshing, etc.
1t was generally conceded that rolling
land can be plowed as well as level land;
that the steam pillow will work in any
soil dry enough to be plowed, and that
the work is more satisfactorily done
than by horse power. The speed depends
somewhat upon the soil, but the average
given in blowing was about three miles
an hour, or that of a fair team of horses.
The labor costs less than that performed
in the ordinary way, although the cost
of the outfit is large.
The blowing outfit used by the farmers
whose opinions have just been quoted
consists of six large plows attached to
heavy frame which can be fastened be-
hind traction engine with suitable con-
nections for raising or lowering the
plows. In blowing the engine moves
across the field, hauling the frame be-
hind it and blowing space six times as
wide as the ordinary furrow.

One WY to shorten q Tree.

A contributor to American Garden
tells how Chicago florist shortened a
30-foot yucca from the bottom. In July
when the sap was descending he cut into
the body, ten feet from the ground,
making two tongue like cuts, wedged
them, slightly splitting the trunk, and
left it so for two weeks, when the sap
had partly calloused the cuts and splits.
Then he fitted a small tub. made in two
parts, and filled with mixed moss and
soil, embracing the tree over the cuts,
and kept the filling moist. In four
weeks new roots had formed. the old
roots and ten feet of the trunk were cut
away. and the tree lowered to the ground
and planted as before, removing the tub
without breaking the ball of roots.
