FROM WASHINGTON.
Proceedings of the International
American Congress.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November %
There were no opinions of general inter
est rendered in the supreme court OF the
Uuited States to-day.
Twenty-eight delegates were present
this afternoon When the International
! American Conference was called to order.
DR.. Iegarra of Peru, presided.
The temporary secretary, DR.. Guzman.
read the report of the committee on ere
dentials passing favorably upon the ere
dcntials of Brazilian delegates, and Of
Cornelius Bliss.
Delegate Min, Uruguay, wished to know
whether the Brazilian credentials ema-
mated from the imperial or republican
government.
Senor Hurtado, Colombia, moved the
previous question upon the adoption of
the report, desiring, as he said, to cut off
any inquiry or investigation respecting
what is now going on in Brazil, as it
was, in his view, Il subject not proper to
be touched upon.
DR.. Min said he did not feel authorized
to vote until his inquiry had been an
Swercd.
The question was held to be i'll order
and Senor RomrO, Mexico, chairman Of
the committee, in response said that the
credentials had already been read to the
conference, those signed by the Emperor
and the cablegram confirming the pow
ers sent by the present government. The
committee had found them in good form
and sufficient.

As tobacco ripens it assumes a spot
ted appearance, the leaves feel sticky.
and they will break off short when
bent. and this appearance and this con-
dition are an indication that the crop
is done close to the ground. and the
leaves are then allowed to wilt Then
they are taken to the dry-house. The
leaves should not be bruised or broken
in handling, and they must therefore
be handled with care. Sometimes the
stem is split from the top down to
within sixteen inches Of the ground.
before cutting. Those who follow this
practice say that the tobacco cures bet
ter. When this is the practice the
tobacco is hung astride the stocks.
When the plants are not split they arc
sometimes srailed and sometimes tied
to the stocks. The leaves are stripped
from the stems as soon as the curing is
complete, and assorted into grades.
TO grow tobacco on large scale re-
quires more knowledge than we can
give. and more than can be got from
any work on the subject that is pub
lished. There are many things which
can only be learned from experience

Coral and Sponge Gathering.

The gathering of coral and sponges
is an important industry on the Flor
ida reefs. Both are frequently found
in the same locality. The sponges are
found wherever the bottom is rocky,
generally from ten to thirty feet be-
meath the surface. Two or three dozen
schooners are now engaged in the work
of gathering the sponges, each schoon-
or carrying two small boats. manned
by crew Of two. When the reef is
reached the small boats put of. and
while one sculls the other keeps an eye
out for spouges A simple contrivance
enables the watchman to see sponges

In the making of good crops three
things are essential. These are a good
soil thoroughly prepared; good seed
carefully planted in good season, and
thorough cultivation, given at tho
proper time. The growth and yield Of
the crops are largely dependent upon
these three items, and q failure of
either one will affect the yield to n
greater or less extent With the rich
soil the elements OF plant growth are
furnished. the preparation places it in
q good condition to be taken up and
used by the growing plants. and in ad-
dition aids materially to secure a better
termination. For good seed planted
in well-prepared soil not only germi-
nate in shorter time, but thcro will
be less of the seed that will fsil to
grow. so that with thesc conditions
provided not only will a better gerni-
nation be secured. but th..iftier and
more vigorous plants will be started
up.
With these secured the next import
ant item is thorough cultivation, given
in good season. With vigorous, thrifty
plants at the starts . good growth can
be readily kept up il good cultivation
is given. 1t must be given in good
season. as the best growth can be OBJ
tanned only by keeping clean and in
good tilth. II five or six workings arc
necessary to give a good crop, as far rs
possible the first three at least should
be given in the first four weeks after
the plants appear above the ground.
II a good growth is secured from the
start and the crop is planted in good
season, so that u good growth is made,
the plants will withstand drought
with more or less damage than when
this has not been done. and it is possi.
BILE. by securing this growth. to keep
it up by good cultivation. SO that fair
yield may be obtained, even in an un-
season. But neglect of either
one of the essentials will be certain to
affect the growth and yield.
The quality Of the seed and the man
ner Of planting largely determines tho
stand, while the fertility Of the soil
and the cultivation largely determines
the growth and yield of the plants that
have started up. The best yield can
only be realized by getting a good.
even stand OF healthy. vigorous plants
and then keeping up a good growth un-
til the crop is made by thorough cul-
tivation. The more Thoroughly these
are supplied the better tho
yield and the profit.-St Louis Repub-
lie.

WITH THE SNAKES


GUIDES Gardens.
That a person can enjoy keeping
snakes for pets is incomprehensible tc
those who look on snake merely as n
disgusting and dangerous creature; but
the true student Of nature finds some
thing interesting in the snakes habits
OF life, and never ceases to admire its
sinuous. gliding movements. which are
the perfection of ease and grace.
The late hing of Dude had snake ry
in the gardens Of his pa'ace near Cal.
cutta. and there snakes OF al sorts and
sizes were assembled.
ut was an oblong pit" says one.whc
had seen it often. "about thirty feet
long By twenty feet broad. the walls
being about twelve feet high. and per.
fectly smooth. SO that snake could not
climb up. In the center Of the pit there
was largo block of rough masonry.
perforated SO that it was rs full OF holes
as a sponge. In this honeycombed
block the snakes dwelt, and when the
sun shOne brightly. they came out to
bask or to feed.
His Majesty used to have live frogs
put in the pit, and amused himself by
seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs When large snake catches q
small frog, it is all over in an instant;
but ii small snake catches q large
frog. SO that he can not swallow
it at once. the frogs cries are piteou.
to hear. Again and again have heard
them while out shooting. and have gone
to the bush or tuft OF grass from which
the piercing cries came-sometimes in
time. sometimes too late to save
poor froggy. though the snake generally
got shot.
'.But a frog has been known to turn
the tables on the snake. Two gentle
mcn in Cachar. some years ago. saw q
small snak seize a small frog and at
tempt to swallow it. But suddenly a
large frog jumped forward. seized the
snakes tail, and began TO swallow the
snake.
'.How the affair might have ended
can not be told, because my friends i'm
prudently drew near to watch the com.
bat. when the frogs and the snake took
alarm. and the big frog disgorged the
snakes tail. the snake released the lit
tie frog. and they all dispersed. each
his own way."-Youth's Companion.

HERE AND THERE.

Young ducks drink water very
often when eating and should be plen-
tifully supplied with all they can
drink. bu tshould not be allowed on
ponds until they are well feathered.
A man who buys horse must make
use of his eyes. That is law and that
is what eyes are for. II your eyes are
not reliable in a case Of that kind. get
the use of somebody's eyes that are.
As soon rs q sufficiency of green
food can be provided. cut down the
grain ration OF the hens By so doing
they will keep in better health and lay
. larger number of eggs. As rulo
too much grain is fed to poultry.
After each rain the ground sho1ld
be cultivated lightly in order to pre-
vent evaporation OF moisture. III,
loose dirt serves as q covering, and
shields the earth from the direct ELECTS
OF drying winds and the heat of tho
sun.
Sorghum is an excellent forage
plant, but it is not equal to corn.
The seed can be proiitably utilized for
poultry. Broom corn is a profitable
crop to those who understand how to
prepare the brush for market. The
seed is also excellent for all classes OF
stock.
Present condition points TO a yer,
good increase in .this years wheai

partment OF Agriculture reports pu,
the condition at 81 per cent this year
against 50 last. Kentucky stands ir
the list 81 against 76 last year. Ten

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL,


The Southern Cultivstor recently
had a letter Of inquiry which began In
these words:
'.Dr. Pendleton says that exhaustion
causes the rust on cotton, and your
veteran associate, DR.. Lee. laughs at
that He says fungi causes it. The
professor at our State college says not
fungi. but q multitude of mites do the
mischief" The contradiction wit
messed in the above statement is easily
traced to a misunderstanding OF as
sumed facts. DR.. Lee does not say that
fungi cause rust on cotton. but that
rust on cotton is q fungus, q living
plant that has. in the economy of nat
ure. both parents and offspring. The
learned professor OF q State college,
the intelligent correspondent of the
Cultivator and its editor, overlook this
pregnant fact in treating Of rust on
cotton. One talks about 'smites," an
other tells Of cotton exempt from rust
on ''fresh land" and in .'fence rows"
while still another regards potash as
the lacking element in soils most SUBJ
ject to rusA
Not one Of these three gentlemen
appear to regard rust as parasite,
whose life is as independent Of that Of
cotton, wheat and other hosts on which
it feeds and fattens, rs 1t is Of any
known place for spending the winter
and early spring months. Rust has
been known as living parasite on
wheat and cotton for more than one
hundred years. Stacks of straw may
carry a cereal parasite through the
winter, but how does the seed of cotton
rust hibernate? Not in cotton seed. as
smut on wheat passes months and
years with its host The germs of
smut lie torpid from Eve months to .
year. according to the climate; planted
with a seed of fall or winter wheat
and then awaken into life and activity.
and move ut once from the buried seed
up and up the tall culm to the new
head and new seed forming. and seize
every particle OF sugar. gum. starch
and gluten designed for wheat to make
. sinking mass Of poisonous smut
Smut and rust are very nearly related.
Hoped rye has killed thousands who
eat rye bread in the north Of Europe,
and it is about time to make a white
mans war Of determination against
these hurtful parasites.
Seed wheat washed in strong brine
or bluestone water has all the germs
Of smut killed; and II all wheat-growers
wonld practice this system, this hurt
full parasite would probably be exter-
mir ated from our whcat-growing land.
From the cradle to the grave human
life is a battle for existence with par
asitic plants and animals Babes are
hardly born before they are filled with
worms; pigs. lambs. calves and colts
larn no better. Cats and mice. dogs
and rabbits are full of parasites; SO
are all fish. birds and insects. Every
where it is life against life. and it is
mad ness to deny the truth Of this vital
matter. In destroying hOtbeds for
the germs of malarial |
levers in and near the city Of Nash

,ear<d. and two or more parasites. the |
