CONGRESSIONAL
MONDAY, July z.

SENATE.-The conference report on the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill
was presented and agreed to.
MIR. Morrill, moved that the Senate pro.
ceed to the consideration of the tariff bill
Defeated by vote of 20 to %.
The Republicans who voted with the
Democrats did SO for the purpose of getting
the silver bill before the Senate before
the tariff bill should be taken up.
/, Senate bill to establish United States
land court and to provide for the settle
ment of private land claims in the terri
tory of New Mexico, Wyoming. Arizona
and Utah, and in the states of Nevada and
Colorado was, on motion Of MIR. Edmunds,
taken up and discussed until Up. m., when
1t was laid aside without action, and the
consideration Of the two shipping bills, re-
ported by Mr.. Frye from committee on
commerce was resumed.
HoUsE.-Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska moved
to suspend the rules and pass concurrent
resolution requesting the President TO re-
turn to the House the bill extending the
time of payment to purchasers Of railroad
grants.
MIR. Breckenridge of Kentucky made
the point Of order that it was not in the
power OF the House, under the constiuu-
tion, to recall bill that had passed and
been sent to the President.
MIR. Dorsey stated that the only object
in asking for the return of the bill was to
correct an error.
The Speaker overruled the point Of
order. Mr.. Outhwaite of Ohio demanded
a second, and, the Democrats refusing to
vote, left the House without a quorum.
Mr.. Dorsey thereupon withdrew his mo-
ton.
The Speaker submitted dozen requests
for leaves of absence which after some
adverse comment, were granted by the
House.
On motion of Mr.. Payson of Illinois the
House went into committee of the whole
Peters of Kansas in the chair for the
consideration of the Senate bill to forfeit
certain lands heretofore granted for the
purpose of aiding in the construction of
railroads, with House substitute there
for.

THE APPLE
rhirty-Eight Brief Rules for the Care Of
an Apple Orchard.

rhirty-Eight Brief Rules for the Care Of
an Apple Orchard.
For successful orcharding, there are
many requisites to be observed which
are given in extended articles, and
which on account of their length the in
experienced are apt to overlook. They
may therefore be more useful if con-
densed in the following th~irtyeight
brief rules:
l.. Select a good soil, such IS will
raise good farm crops.
.. Make it mellow at once, or with
previous mellowing crops.
3. Hillsides of the rocky places are
admissible only in case plenty of barn
manure can be had for annual top
dressing.
4. See that the land has good natural
or artificial drainage.
5. Choose young and vigorous trees,
not over two years old from the graft.
6. See that ample roots are secured in
digging-enough to stiffen the tree
without stalking, and give ready
growth.
2. Avoid large, overgrown or stunted
trees, which have short roots mutilated
by digging.
8. Remember that a good supply Of
roots is more important than straight
stems or handsome heads.
9. Procure well-proved standard vari-
cites, and not new lauded sorts.
10. II trees from a distance are partly
dry when received. bury them for a
week, top and all, in . finely %pulverized.
moist soil. to restore them.
II. Before setting out, dig holes broad
enough to receive all the roots without
bending.
II. Use no manure. except on the sur
face after setting, or in the remote parts
of large holes
Is In setting out, spread the roots
out equally on all sides, at their full
length, and fill in ~compactly fine mel
low earth.
IA. After set. shorten back the long
shoots and thin out where o thick.
giving . neat, even, moderate head.
Is. Always shorten back before the
buds swell, and never when partly or
wholly In leaf.
1e. Keep the ground for several feet
around the newly-set trees clean a
mellow all summer.
IL. Keep the ground cultivated over
the whole surface for six or eight years
after transplanting: after which allow
grass to grow only in case . good annu-
al or biennial top dressing Of manure
a be given.
Is. AS the roots Of growing trees are
IS long as their height avoid the mis-
take of spading or manuring narrow cir
cles around the foot of the stem, but
cultivate the whole surface.
IL. Preserve a smooth clear stem by
promptly removing all suckerA

Never permit . tree or vine to over.
bear. A tree or vine that is almost
breaking with its load Of fruit, may be a
handsome sight, but it is not the most
profitable one.
Cats and young chicks do not thrive
in the same yard. The feline nature
gets the better of the best pussy and
your chicks will disappear. Keep the
cats away from the temptation.
Stop croaking, is the advice given
by q newspaper to farmers. Yes, stop
croaking; consent to being robbed and
let the sheriff turn you out of doors.
Don't grumble; be happy.
Always be careful about fire. In
this connection it is well to advise
watchfulAess Of the lamps to keep them
in good order. 1t was ar exploded lamp
that set fire to Secretary Tracy's house.
Recent experiments prove that salt
is . necessity for fowls, and that when it
is supplied them they keep in better
condition and lay . larger number Of
eggs. Salt is one of the constituents OF
eggs and must be provided.
AS a general rule, for the Matching

ducks, so days, and for geese 50 days.

Tho farmer who does not take proper
care of his stock or of his farm imple-

The Burden OF Taxation,

1t is estimated that the annual pro-
duction Of the farms Of Tennessee are
equal to thirty per cent. of their value.
Ii this be true, then the farms of the
State pay taxes equal to about five per
cent of the value of their annual prod
ucts. Now if our corporations are will
ing to stand along with our farmers in
bearing the burdens Of taxation; we sug-
gest to the Legislature, as means of
avoiding all possibility of double taxa

porations five per cent. of the gross

hoed crops Is corn and potatoes, dc

81. In well-managed orchards much
pruning is unnecessary, and when per
formed, do but little in any M year;
thin the outside Of the head and not the
center, and paint all wounds.
3. Undesirable fruits, or those proved
unified for the climate. may be changed

25. If trees are received when frozen,
they will be killed if thawed in air; but
If compactly buried in mellow soil BE-
fore thawing, they will not be injured.
20. Mice are excluded in winter by a
smooth, compact conical mound Of soil
around the stem of each tree, to be lev.

hurriedly and allowing weeds and grass
