GRAINS OF GOLD.

The present is the golden moment of
life.
Teach thy tongue to say 81 do not
know"
Beautiful bubbles are but glittering
emptiness.
Loyalty to best convictions is an i'm
portant duty.
He that liveth not well one year sor-
rows for it seven.
The heart has some reasons which rea-
son does not know.
Chance is word void of sense; moth
ing can exist without cause.
We usually learn to wait when we no
longer have anything to wait for.
There are some men with just imagi-
nation enough to spoil their judgment.
The less tenderness man has in his
nature, the more he requires from others.
There is nothing like poverty to give
one deep theoretical knowledge of hu-
man kindness.
Graceful manners are the outward
form of refinement in the mind, and good
affections in the heart.
Vanity eludes recognition by its vic
tins in more shapes, and more pleasing,
than any other passion.
To pray loudly is not necessity of
devotion; when we pray we must direct
our hearts toward heaven.
Do not make witticisms at the expense
of others which you would not care to
have made upon yourself.
Argument will pull wise man down
to the level of fool, but it never raises
fool to the place of wise man.
You shall be none the worse to-mor-
row for having been happy to-day, if the
day bring no action to shame in it.
Anxiety in human life is what squeak
ing and grinding are in machinery that
is not 0i1ed. In life trust is the oil.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
Synopsis of Transactions in the National
Legislature.


Legislature.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA resolution was of.
fered in the house yesterday by Mr.. Oates, OF
Alabama, providing for an investigation OF
the charge made by The National Economist
that money was spent in lobbying the silver
bill through congress. The speaker ruled that
the resolution was not a privileged question.
and on an appeal the house sustained the rul-
ing-S5 to Il. The senate's irrigation amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation bill
was discussed at length and non-concurred in.
The house adjourned, however, without order
ing conference on the bill

10 O'Clock, and some time was wasted waiting
for quorum. The conference report on the
District appropriation bill was agreed 10.
During the afternoon four pages of the tariff
bill were finished, all of the committee
amendments being agreed TO. Mr.. Blair
stated that at this rate the bill would be fin
ished about Dec. 70.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The house adopted a
resolution calling on the secretary of war for
the report Of the engineers on the Galveston

ing devoted to private pension bills.
In the senate Mr. Blair offered a resolution

from the finance committee, spOnges and sui
phate of potash were placed on the free list

fASTS FOR A LIVING.

The Record Has just Been Broken by q
Mysterious Frenchman.
LONDON, Aug. A. 4.-Alexander Jacques,
a French gentleman who fasts for liy-

days on the stage of Westminster
aquarium, and thus secures the record.
At the conclusion of his fast his pulse
was 60, his temperature 80. His weight
AZ days ago was 1873 pounds and ounces,
and he has lost % pounds and 10 ounces.
He has tasted once before for 30 days
and claims that he is enabled to fast
almost any length of time by the use of
a powder, the ingredients of which are
a secret. During the fast at the aqua
rum he has taken 2 1-2 ounces of this

TIME IN MILK.

1t appears that the same COW, on the
same kind of food, will yield richer milk
after ten months of milking than at the
end of one month. In some recent ex-
periments a cow that gave milk con-
tanning 3.5 per cent. of fat in November
and December, 1888, on the same kind
of food, in May, 1889, gave milk with
3.9 per cent; in August, on pasture feed,
4.16 per cent; and in September, 4.23
per cent. Another cow averaged 3.6 per
cent. in November and December, 1888:
SO per cent. in April, 1889; A per cent.
in May. These are only two instances,
but it is fact well known that most
COWS do so increase. This being true,
we must not too hastily conclude that a
given kind of food has caused intreased
fat in the milk, since it may be that
part of the whole of the observed change
is due to natural increase due to length
of time in milk, and not to food at all.

BEETs AS FOOD FOR MICH COWS.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS MADE AT
THE OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
sTATIoN-A COMPARISON OF THE Eff
CIENCY OF COMMERCIAL AND GREEN
MANUREs ON WHEAT.
The bulletin of the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station, now in press, gives
the result of an experiment in feeding
sugar beets to milch cows, made during
the past winter, together with summa-
ry of two similar experiments, one made
by the station in 1889 and one by the
farm department of the Ohio State Uni
yersity in 1879.
In the last named experiment eight
cows were kept under test for eleven
weeks; in 1889 twelve cows for eight
weeks, and in 1890, twelve cows for nine
weeks, the cows in each case being
weighed daily, as well as their feed and
milk.
In each of the three experiments the

matter when feeding on beets than on
other foods (hay, meal and bran in 1879,
corn silage in 1889 and 189O and in each
case more milk was given from the beets
than from the other foods, but it is not
vet demonstrated that the increase of
milk was produced economically.
For twelve years records have been
kept on the farm now occupied by the
station, which shows that the average
yield of beets over this period has been
nearly sixteen tons per acre, against an
annual yield of about fifty-five bushels
of shelled corn per acre.
But crop of fifty-hve bushels of
shelled corn, with its fodder, will contain
nearly twice as much dry matter as six
teen tons of beets, and these experiments
indicate that, whether fed dry, as corn
meal and dry fodder, or as corn ensilage,
the dry matter of the corn crop will be
found about as effective, pound for

THE CABBAGE WORM.

1t is easy to prevent cabbage worms
from injuring the plants. All that is
necessary is to keep the crowns filled
with soil. One can walk along the rows
and do it with hoe. The earth does no
harm to the cabbages, as the heads grow
up from the bottom, and this throws off
the earth. Among the 1000 plants treat
ed in this way 1 neither saw nor heard
of earth being found in any of the heads
