In the senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Among the
petitions presented in the senate was
one by Mr.. Squires (Rep., Wash.) from
the chamber of commerce of Seattle,
Wash, praying for the establishment of
a national park in that state. Mr..

Mr.. PETER were entitled to precedence
in the morning hour, unanimous consent
was given that those resolutions should
remain on the table and should be pre-
sented later. Mr.. Cullom thereupon ad-
dressed the senate ON the federal cleo
tions laws. He reviewed the legal
questions involved in federal supervision
of elections. taking broad view of the
constitutional power of the general gov
ernment to regulate elections for fed
eral offices.
Mr.. Cullom concluded his speech al
las, and upon the suggestion Of Mr..
Frye the Hoar Hawaiian resolution went
over Mr.. Stewart then proceeded te
address the senate ON the bill to repeal
the federal election laws.

Fodder corn should be put In at the
same time as the field corn, for it is bet
ter that the stalks should be well grown
and reach a considerable degree. of ma
turity before cutting, whether intended
for the silo or for curing as dry fodder.
Many believe that for the silo 1t should
be so grown that it will develop ears al
most as abundantly as the field corn,
and that those ears should reach that
stage Of growth where the kernels are in
or a little past the milky condition, and
if we are not yet ready to accept that
opinion neither are we prepared to dis
pute it, says American Cultiyator. The
points best settled are that it pays to
grow fodder corn; that it is cool to feed
green when the pastures grow roor from
drought or other causes; that it IS good
when kept in the silo, and god when
properly dried and kept for w.--1r for
age, and that cutting it few d-ys ear
lier or later does not make a grcal differ
encc in its feeding value. No one can
state the exact stage Of growth when it
should be cut, as they do for clover or
timothy, and therefore the grower is not
so dependent upon the weather,

Wireworlns arr the Larvae or grubs of
swapping or click beetles and breed es-
pecially in low, damp, cold soils, feeding
on the roots cf grass and probably other
herbaceous plants. They probably re-
quiro a little over three years to develop
from the egg to the adult. No thor
oughly practical method Of destroying
the worms has as yet been discovered.
Their numbers may be reduced by fall
blowing, and their haunts rendered VII
unattractive by rapid rotation of crop
and by undertakings. Where fields OF
corn are attacked and rcplanting made
necessary it is advised, in a bulletin
from the Ohio station, TO plant the sec
ond time bDhwccn the old rows, allow
ing the latter to stand as long as posi-
BILE in order to hold the attention of the
worms and keep them diverted from the
later plants.

THE FUNGUS DISEASES OF PLANTS.
An Expert on the Prevention of Mildews,
Blights and Rots.

Blights and RotS.
Combating the fungous diseases OF
plants was the subject of lecture by B.
T. Galloway, chief Of the division OF
vegetable pathology, delivered before a
meeting Of the Massachusetts, Horticul-
tural society. In this lecture Mr.. Gallo
way stated that fully 100 liquids and
powders had cen used in this country
as fungicides The powders had been
largely discarded. The liquids consisted
of various compounds of copper, iron,
zinc, ETC., and Of all those so far tested
bordeaux mixture stood at the head.
The formula foI this had been gradually
reduced from 1G pounds of copper, sui
phate and so pounds of lime to % gallons
of water, to pounds Of copper sulphate
and G pounds of lime in 50 gallons OF
water. without altering the efficacy III
the least. Ammoniacal copper carbon
ate solution was also used very generally.
This was cheaply and easily prepared
and was preferred for some diseases.
As to the time for spraying he said that
no rigid rules could be laid down. The
whole object of the work was proven
ton; therefore the importance Of doing
everything in time could not be too
strongly urged. y grape, for example,
10 sooner puts forth its leaves than the
spores OF the black rot fungus were
ready to infect them. The same was
true Of the berries. As soon as formed
they were attacked, and to protect both
berries and leaves it was necessary to be-
gin spraying at least Il week or 10 days
before the fungus usually appeared. This
period conceded closely with the time
when the leaves were one-third grown
consequently it was recommended that
the first treatment be made rs near as
possible to the date mentioned. In 1907
Il DAYS the vines will have made sufli-
cient growth 10 make a second applca-
ton necessary. and 50 the work was con-
tinued until five or six treatments had
been made.
An important matter in connection
with the wor'; was the proper distribu-
ton of the fuugicide. In order to break

Ifthere are pastures. one of timothy
al one of the finer grasses, turn the
cows on the timothy first, then when
they have grazed that over put them on
the other field, says The Stockman. This
will keep the timothy from heading and
cause it to tiller more. No pasture grass
should be allowed to head out, as it
causes waste. Timothy makes longer
seed stalks than blue grass; therefore
there is more waste if it heads out, and
it gets hard and unpai2table.

TIE biennial session of the leglsla-
ture is now an event of the east, and
the members have placed themselves
on record and must render an account
of their actions to their cons nstitnency.
A great many good laws have been
passed which the sovereign people will
fully endorse, and not the least of
these is the repeal of the mortgage
tax law and Indebtedness exemption
clause. The distribution of the funds
for wagon roads will also be welcome
news to many isolated districts where
the most urgent necessity is some
means of getting to market. Eastern
Oregon, of course, would have been better
pleased if the Raley portage bill had
passed; but, notwithstanding the de-
feat of this desired improvement, the
people will take an optimistic view of
matters, and say to the legislators OF
1898, "Well done, good and faithful
servants"
