NO CLAIM ON UNCLE SAM.
President Cleveland VetOes ;
Batch of Private Pension Bills.

bdtCu III CuSiOu AihiSs
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The presi-
dent to-day returned to the house several
vetoed private pension bills. In one
case, bill granting pension to George
Wallen for fracture of his right arm,
the president says:
The records establish that Wallen enlisted
July 81, 1861; that he deserted April %,
1852, and returned February %, 1863, after
an absence of about ten months, and that he
deserted again April 80, 1864, and returned
prior to Aug 81. 1864. Without especially
discussing the question of disability charge
able to military service, it seems to me that
a soldier with such record should not be
pensioned.
Of another bill granting a pension to
Bridget Carroll, the mother of Patrick
Carroll, soldier who was drowned i'm
September, 1856, while sailing in a
small boat, the president says:
The beneficiary is aged and in need of as
sistauce. but there is no pretense that the
soldiers death was in the least degree related
to his military service
a bill to pension Catherine Barberick,
the mother of William Barberick. SOL
dier. who died of smallpox while at
home on furlough, is vetoed because:
1t is not claimed that the soldier contract
ed the fatal disease while in the army.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

Referring to the keeping OF sweet
potatoes, / am convinced. after two
wears, that the practice Ihave adopted
is reliable and as near perfect as any,
considering it's ease of adaptation and
execution. l never dig until frost bites
the vines, for to dig earlier will be to
lose the best growth in an average
season. If the land is wet enough to
leave the tubers stuck with mud,
prefer waiting. even after FROST until
it is drier, as from dry dirt they come
out in a much more slightly condition.
When digging commences drive four
boards where you wish to winter them
the height you wish the bank. in
such a way as to form a square
funnel or fiue. Place around them
a bed of dry pine straw the diam
eter of the proposed bank. Now
place the potatoes around the fue as
steep as they will pile. When night
comes on, cover them with thickness
of, say three inches of pine straw, and
after the sun is up in the morning re-
move the straw and "sun" again, and
continue this for several consecutive
DAYS, when you may place the straw
upon them and cover with dirt. leav-
ing the top of the fiue always open;
and if you will now place a short
course of boards or a broad piece OF
plank on the top of the hole in such a
way as to turn off the rain and snow,
YOU may leave the balance to kind
Providence, feeling assured that de
will keep them for you until the fol-
lowing April, when He will call upon
you to take them out OF their winter
quarters and place them in a COO
place.
The especial objects to be attained
are: Use pine straw to cover them
with because they do not absorb damp
ness so readily as other materials, ans
will not undergo heating or ferment
ing. They must be aired and summed
to evaporate the dampness and dissi

Not long ago Mr.. George H. Daniels, the
general passenger agent Of the New York
Central g. Hudson River Railroad, In ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention to
the fact that the United States OF
America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million OF the
most civilized and cnterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad Is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in the
world; that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities In the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more OF the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditions than any other route. There
is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country

restless and moving people. The New

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
How to Prevent Smut in Wheat and
Oats.

Forty years observation in the
Southern States leads the writer to be-
lieve that smut in wheat and oats is on
the increase in the Sunny South.
Every farmer should regard himself
as a soldier enlisted in the service OF
his country to fight this bread-destroy-
ing parasite. Brother farmer. ponder
this fact. If no man planted smutty
wheat or smutty oats. no man could
harvest grain affected by this enemy
of mankind l remember seeing smut
germs killed on seed-wheat and oats
more than seventy-fve years ago by
soaking seed some three or four hours
in strong brine made of common salt
Seed is dried in lime or ashes before
sowing.
The living germ in wheat or oats
may be killed by being too long in
Urine. Two hours is long enough to
destroy smut life. and not hurt wheat
or oats used for seed.
There are scores of wheat growers
who never have any smut in their
staple crop, washing seed in blue
stone; water and salt have been found
quite as good a preventive as blue
stone.
1t is a curious fact that the spores OF
this parasite grow small enough to
pass from seed wheat in the ground
up with sap, to the head. and attack
the starch. sugar and gluten in the
forming grain in the milk-stage OF its
life. Now is the time to study the life
of all hurtful plants and OF all crops

WHY FLOWERS SLEEP.
One of the Most Curious Phenomenons o
Plant Life.

fIant LiIes
That flowers sleep is evident to the
most casual observer. The beautiful
daisy opens at sunrise and closes at
sunset, whence its name-''days eye"
The morning-glory opens its flower
with the day. The .John-go-to-bed-
at-noon" awakes at four in the morn
ing, but closes its eyes in the middle
OF the day, and the dandelion is in full
bloom only during the hours of strong
light. This habit of some flowers is
certainly very curious, and furnishes
one OF the many instances which prove
the singular adaptability of every
thing in nature. The reason is found
in the method by which this class of
flowers is fertilized. 1t is obvious.
says Sir John Lubbock, that flowers
which are fertilized by night-fying in
sects would derive no advantage by
being open by day; and, on the other
hand, that those which are fortified
by bees would gain nothing by being
open at night. Nay, it would be dis
advantage. because it would render
them liable to be robbed of their
honey and pollen by insects which are
incapable of fertilizing them. l would
venture to suggest. then. that the
closing of flowers may have reference
to the habits OF insects. and it may be
observed. also, in support of this, thai
wind-fertilized flowers never sleep. =

According to analysis, corn-cobs
contain about the same nutriment per

are not so digestible. The grinding Of
corn and cobs together is of doubtful
value, owing to the indigestibility Of

the weight of evidence is against the
practice.
