What He Died OF.

81 don't know what to make of my husband"
said young wife tearfully. "He begs me not to
cook anything, but to allow our trained cook to
prepare the meals"
"My husband was different" said a lady in
deep mourning. "He was emphatic in his orders
that the food should always be prepared by my
hands,"
And your husband-where is he now?"
HE is dead. '-Indianapoli journal.

The Senate OF the Future

When the Republican Senators from
Montana are admitted, As they will be,
the United States Senate will DE made up
OF II Republicans and 81 Democrats.
should Idaho and Wyoming be admitted
to statehood during the next year, the
Republicans would secure four more
Senators. March 1, 1891, the terms VI
twenty eight Senators will expire. Six
reen Of these are Republicans and twelve
are Democrats. The Republicans are
Sanford OF California, Teller Of Colo
RADIO, Plat OF Connecticut, farwell of
Illinois, Allison Of Iowa, Ingalls, Of
Kansas, Jones Of Nevada, Blair Of New
Hampshire, Eyarts Of New York. Pierce
Of North Dakota, Mitchell Of Oregon,
Cameron of Pennsylvania, Moody Of
South Dakota, Morrill, of Vermont,
Squire of Washington, and Spooner of
Of Alabama, Jones of Arkansas, Call Of
Florida, Brown Of Georgia, Voorhees, Of
Indiana, Blackburn Of Kentucky, Eustis
of Louisiana, Wilson of Maryland. Vest
Of Missouri, Vance of North Caro-
lima, Payne of Ohio, and Hampton
of South Carolina. Messrs. Allison of
Iowa, Blackburn of Kentucky, and Will
son of Maryland have been reelected,
aud Calvin ). Brice of New York has
been chosen the Democratic successor
OF Payne of Ohio. There is reason
able certainty that the Republicans will
hold all OF the seats they now
have. If there are doubtful States they
are about equal on both sides. Califor
MIA and one or two other States may be
rather doubtful, but they are no more 30
than Indiana and Missouri for the Demo
Gratis. 1t, therefore, Is quite certain that
the Republicans will enter the next
Congress with "A majority of at least ten
Senators, and have an ascendency in that
body which cannot be overcome under
the most unfortunate conditions during
the next four years, and probably not
for decade. This being the case, what
ever legislation the present Congress
enacts cannot in any event be reversed
without the consent of Republican

Farming not an Exact Science.

For many Of the industries text books
are prepared which 30 nearly cover the
ground Of necessary information that the
novice needle little else besides experience
and practice in its application. It 10 no, so
with farming. Text books can discuss gen.
eral principles, and up to certain point
can furnish valuable data; but so varied
are the conditions under which these things
are to be applied that pure and simple
book farming' 10 set down As impractica-
BILE.
The b.,oks have their value nevertheless
and the error is in expecting too much OF
hem. These books in the main are pre-
pared by practical men, who have worked
out results which they describe but in at
tempting to apply literally their instructions
are not always easy to make sufficient al
lowance for differing conditions, and what
thus brings success to one man may result
in at least partial failure with another.
Those who listen to discussions among
even the most intelligent and successful
farmers must be impressed with the radical
differences of opinion, founded on expert
ence, which they express For obvious
| reasons no other business men are likely to
find As many different ways of doing the
| sane thing, and none need wider range OF
available information. A realization OF
this has done more to give to the agricui-
| tur4l press so high g degree of usefulness
than anything else. 1t is found tina, the
discussions Of one season can hardly, IN
these days Of development, be taken as so-
solute auth ,rity for subsequent seasons,
and that those who would avail themselves
of every aid within their reach must lose
no opportunity of becoming possessed OF
the new points constantly developing. This
has created an ever increasing demand fol
a cheap means of keeping farm interests
ever fresh before the eyes Of farmers. The
