The hop louise shortened the hop crop
considerably in some yards throughout
the Puyallup and White river valleys last
season. Several solutions were used for
spraying the vines, but from majority of
the reports received, the quassia chips
and whale oil soap seems to have given
the best satisfaction. A number of the
growers failed to prepare the kerosene
emulsion properly, the mixture not form
ing perfect emulsion. The formulas In any
of these washes should be closely observed
and carried out. An insect found about
the roots of the hop plants in early spring,
when placed under glass, appeared iden-
tical with the "stem-mother. Samples
of the lice were sent to Professor Riley,
Washington City. who stated that they
were not the hop lice, but belonged to the
genus Tychea. Whether in this state.

vegetation from the Middle or Eastern
states, the hop louise lays its winter eggs

species Of prunes" (plums, prunes and
cherries) only, or whether the eggs are
found elsewhere as we'll, there is no ques-
ton but that spraying must be done in
order to save crops. The work should be-
gin very early, watching the outside rows,
and as soon as any lice are detected. work
with spray pumps should begin. Use one
OF the following solutions:
QUAssIA CHIPS AND WHALE OIL SOAP.

six to eight pounds whale oil soap; 100
gallons of water. Steep the quassia chips
in few gallons Of cold water about one
hour; then boil five minutes and add the

words. stating that documents would
be presented showing what had taken
place. He lamented the attack and expressed
regret at the circumstances which threaten to
rupture the friendly relations between
the United States and Chile. It. was

A MODEL COW STALL,
Tested, illustrated and Described by
the Editor Of "Hoard's Dairyman.o

the Editor OF "HOard's Dairyman."
The excellence of this plan of tying COWS
over the stanchion plan is: 1. The COW has
three and one-half feet in width Of stall
and perfect liberty and comfort of position.
q By virtue of the bar across the stall
floor, which will be seen just forward of
the hind feet of the standing cow, the
animal has always a dry, clean bed to lie
in, thus keeping her as clean from manure
in winter As though she was in June
pasture. 3. By this system each cow is
protected when lying down from having
Ler teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor. This is one Of the
most productive sources of injury that is
known, and of itself should condemn the
rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row of cows fac
ing another row. A closely boarded par
tition about four feet high forms the front
of the stall. Each cow has 81 feet in
width. The floor is made tight and there

mittee-The Union Seminary Case.
PORTLAND, June 1.-The reputation
which the moderator of the late
Presbyterian general assembly gained
for fairness of dealing sustained
shock In his action in
vacating the chair during the discussion
of the theological seminaries committees
report, and in taking the floor in adj.
vocacy Of the report substituted by
motion of Mr.. Green. The chairman
of the committee is said to have been
much chagrined at his action, and to
have said that never before has a mod
orator taken an active part in
defeating report made by
committee of his own appointment. The
unusual character of this action was re-
marked at the time, and in some quar-
ters it has been received as q
blow directed at the extreme views
of the committee. 1t is to many doubt
full whether the substitute would have
carried had it not been for this
action. It is also believed that it was con-
trary to the wishes Of the moderator and
only under seeming compulsion that he
allowed the arbitration resolution to 60
through.
One Of the surprises of the assembly did
not come till the next day, when oppor-
tunity was given to see exactly what
action they had taken with regard
to all the seminaries. At an
early stage Of the meeting the report Of
the minority was voted down with it's pro-
posal of committee to inquire into the
matter, to confer with the directors of the
various seminaries and to report
Q scheme for the establishment of closer
relations between them and the assembly.
When the Anal resolutions came to
be examined it was found that
they differed from the proposals
of the minority only in the degree which
was expressed by the word "closer" in re-
gard to such relations. The arbitra-
ton committee. consisting of DIR.
Smith. of Buffalo; DIR. Agnew and
Elders Junkin of Philadelphia, Murray Of
New York and Humphrey of Louisville.
contains only one man whose
views are not fairly we'll de-
fined beforehand. The question
which finds expression now is whether
the directors will consider that there is
anything to arbitrate. The final sentence
of their memorial makes it look "a though
they saw nothing of tine sort, when they
say:
This memorial il submitted with the earnest
hope that your reverend body may cordially
concur with us in annulling the arrangement OF
1870. thus restoring Union seminary to its
former relations To the general assembly.
