THE FARMERS CONGRESS.
The Next National Assembly to
Be Held i'm Missouri.

The National Farmers congress,
which has been in session at Council
Bluffs during the past week, voted to
hold the next congress in Missouri on
the second Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1891.
1t was, also, decided to allow the
Missouri delegation to select the city
in which to hold the congress, the
delegation agreeing not to select
either st. Louis or Kansas City.
Outside Of the two cities which are
excluded, there is no better place than
Sedalia for holding a large conven-
ton. The Queen City has frequently
ben called "The City of Conven-
tons" and there is no reason why the
citizens of Ssdalia should not make
the title perfect by capturing the Far
mers' Congress. If the Commercial
club will take this matter in hand at
once and direct the attention of the
Missouri delegation to this city the
next congress will be held here. Ac-
ton, however, should be taken i'm

Smiths Side of the story.

The BAzoo last Sunday gave a
short chapter in which Jack Smith,
the dairyman, figured in an unenvi-
able light. During the week, Mr..
Smith was a visitor at the office and
denied that he had been caught in a
compromising position with an un-
known woman. He explained that
he was stopped at Broadway and Har-
rison avenue, two weeks ago to-day,
by a woman who was an entire stran-
ger, who Intercepted him regarding
a cow she had lost. The woman was
not in his wagon, consequently did
not JUMP out, snd in proof of his
statement he refers to reputable wit.
uesses who passed while he was en-
gagged in conversation with the fe-
male. Mrs. Smith having presented
aer side of the story last Sunday, it is
nothing more than right that Mr..
Smith should be heard to-day. Selah!

SILK CULFUR e.
How MIR. Sawdey's First Venture
Turned Out.

The cocoons. which Mr.. Sawdey's
silk worms made for him this summer
are about dry enough to ship to the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington, d. C. Mr.. Sawdey, as the
readers of the BAzoo will remember,
conc udei last spring to experiment
in silk culture. Uncle Jerry Rusk
sent him about quarter OF an ounce
of silk worm eggs, and, following the
directions fiom the department. of
agriculture. Ire proceeded to hatch
them out. The Matching process was
success and Mr.. Sawdey som had
several thousand avaricious silk
worms which required constant feel
ing on osage leaves. AS the worms
increased in size they required a large
area of territory in which to work
aud. as consequence, they were CIV
en- full possessi n of the second story
of the Sawdey residence, No. 1916
East Seventh street. The worms
ia teuned upon the leaves and then,
as fully described in the BAzoo, WOW.
around their bodies silken shroud of
the finest texture, making the cocoons
which were steamed to kill The crysalis
in order TO preserve The cocoon intact
The product of the one-fourth of
an ounce of eggsis about five p unds
of dried cocoons, ready for the mar
ket. In order to encourage the silk
industry Uncle Sam purchases all
the cocoons raised by
the amateur silk farmers. In
reply to Mr.. Sawdey's letter to
Secretary Rusk, the later
sent circular letter stating tiat con-
gress had made an additional apprJ-
priation to continue the experiments
in reeling silk in Washington and
that the governm MT will purchase
cocoons from Kansas, Nebraska. Mis-
souri,, Iowa. Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
West Virgins and Pennsylvania dur
ing Ssptemb r. TIE maximum price
for best quality will be s1.15 per
pound. Growers are expected To send
twenty samples o; orcoons in frankei
box and the price of the lot will be
fixed by The samples, although if
through inexperience the euliivator of
silk, in selecting samples, should send
poorer specimens than the whole 10:
the price would be resdjusted upon
their arrival at the department.
Mr.. Sandy says the experiment
turned out better than he expected,
and while be does not consider it a
success, he knows that with the ex-
perience he now hiss, be could do
much better next time.
