A farmer writing to The Country
Gentleman disapproves of the practice
of drilling in grass seed with grain. He
says: The seeds are too unlike. A sin
gle grain of wheat weighs as much as
twenty grains of timothy seed. and viii
grow when buried with three inches of
soil as well rs the grass seed when only
an inch down; the best depth for each.
however, IS about an inch and a half for
the wheat and half an inch for the tim
othy, under ordinary conditions. No
common drill Will plant grass seed even
ly at half an inch depth. Brushing it in
with a smoothing or brush harrow Is
the best we can do in common circum-
stances. large portion of the seed be-
ing buried less than an inch, and a small
portion of it, not being buried at all, may
not grow.
There Will be another portion too
heavily covered with soil II find its way
TO the surface, but commonly about half
is brushed in and terminates. This Is
better than seeding it down with the
grain when but little can ever reach the
light. To economic grass seed the
ground on which it IS sown should be
specially smooth and level, for if it is
rough and cloddy the small and delicate
seed VIII have n very poor chance. and
if the surface IS uneven the seed will b,
covered too deep at one place and too
shallow at another.
"A half peck of grass seed. sown on \
fine, smooth ground, rich and mellow
and sufficiently moist. viii give better
growth than a bushel on hard. dry and
cloddy surface. but neither viii make a
sufficiently rich and dense growth of
grass. The best new grass field l ever
had was when fun half bushel of
clover and timothy was sown on an acre
of well prepared surface. There were
no bare spots of earth on walking over
1t, and at two cuttings it gave about five
tons of dried hay to the acre The seed
was sown alone, not with a grain crop,
and was covered with a light brush
harrow"

THE Civil Service Chronicle for jar

THE Civil Service Chronicle for Jan
usry just out, says:
Indiana affords today the II ost inter-
estiug example of the evil of the RUE that
president may be re elected. Strike out
the federal of1ce-holders and it is safe TO
say that majority of the new republican
state committee and of the delegates TO
the coming national convention would
not have been Harrison men. This fact
was recognized by the administration and
accordingly the full power of the federal
patronage was turned on. Throughout
the state it has been used with csnsum>
nate skill and slyness. 1t is not a popu-
lar move, and to the utmost possible
extent its use has been yelled
No clumsy ara brszen bull
doing by federal officials, such
az the democrats practiced under the last
administration, appeared All was
smooth and secret, but federal patronage
was never more powerful. For instance.
Marshal Ransdell came from Washington
but his coming was not announced by the
journal. Hanna, d Law officer of the
government, appears am holds secret
conference with republicans not active in
politics. Warren G. Sayre, of the Indisu
service, suddenly has business in Indiana.
and so on through long list Mean
while, thousands of postmasters and
other minor officials give their attention
to setting up the primaries and with such
success that Harrison will apparently
have majority of the state committee
Whether he will have a unanimous dele
cation TO the national convention is yet
undecided.

THE Stock Grower. a farmers news
paper printed at Las Vegas, New Mexico,
and representing the interests of wool
growers, is in favor of free wool. In
speaking of the Springer billitsaYs: THE
manufacturers ought to be in favor of the
passage of such law. Nor ought the
weolgrowers to utter word of disap-
proval. The admission duty free of the
different varieties of wool not grown in
the United States, but which the manu-
facturer must use for mixing purposes if
he is to compete with foreign msuufac-
turers in turning cut all kinds of goods,
would add to the demand for domestic
wool snd would enhance its price. The
manufacturer, having free access to all
the woods he needed, would not be driven
as he is now, to the excessive use of cot
ton and shoddy. At present the so called
wooden goods which people buy, are to a
great extent, mixture of wool. shoddy
and cotton. Free wool would give them
the genuine article at the price they pay
now for a shert-lived imitation. d"

made him mad. He held consultations
with his clerk of vital statistics, and as
certained that several hundred Mime
apolitans in embryo had made their
appearance i north, and only very
small percentage of them had been re-
ported to the health department. The
onty reason for such state of affairs
was gross negligence on the part of the
attending physicians. and realizing this
Dr. Kelly decided upon prompt and
radical action. He hied himself to the
municipal court. and with the aid of the
clerks Swore out a dozen warrants for
reputable physicians. They were
charged with violating an ordinance of
the city. and the court officer to whom
the warrants were given was told to
bring III every mothers son of them"
Dir. Kelly stated that he would cause
the arrest of every physician in town
who neglected 10 report the births he
compile lis annual report this month,
and he needs the proper statistics to
enable him TO do SO. He says that be-
tween now and the last OF the month
there should he reported at the Office
1000 births, including those occurring
within the time and those held back by
negligent physicians. In st. Paul, ac-
cDrdlng to the doctor, the system is
good one. and evidently the physicians
of the SANITY City take pride in show
ing how fast the place is growing. In
spite of the difference in the size Of the
two cities. st. Paul shows up to have
the most prolific Inhabitants. for the
births number moe. This. state of
things, says the doctor. is an outrage.

VALIANT MAJ. BASSETT.


He Is Bound 10 Defeat Warner
Miller's Nicaragua Canal Prof
ect.
The board of trade seems to have ma
terial for permanent discussion in the
Nicaragua canal project. 1t came up
again yesterday on Maj. j. B. Bassett's
report from the committee on naviga-
ton. Only four members, not the full
committee, had considered Judge
Daniel Fish'S report of attendance upon
the Nicaragua canal convention i'll
New Orleans. Three members of the
committee on navigation, Henry Mich
OILS, III. F. Lowe and G. Z. Loyell, rec
commended that the canal should be
completed as soon as possible; that the
United States should control it; that the
United States government should tinan
clally aid the construction of
it. These three also presented
resolution commencing the
action of the New Orleans convention.
Maj. BasSett, sIngle-handed and alone,
reported directly the opposite. He
doubted that the completion of the canal
would facilitate United States military
or naval operations i'll case OF war;
doubted that it would Increase the COM
meIce of the United States; doubted
that it would increase the home market;
doubted that it was necessity. He
deliberately argued-li views, going into
the details OF South American and
South Pacific trade, and citing figures
to prove that the canal would be OF
greater benefit 10 the competitors of the
United States than to this government.
Judge Atwater supported him, Insisting
