The republican members of the senate held 8 four hours caucus at the residence of Senator Sherman last Monday night. Although no vote was taken on the ques- tion of party policy on the tariff bill, when the caucus adjourned at midnight there was strong feeling among those who at. tended it that the bill could be defeated. Reasonable debate will be insisted upon, it being the impression that debate o1 six weeks or two months will kill the bill. The minority will insist upon the present bounty on domestic sugar, with free raw sugar admitted from abroad.

MUCH encouragement is felt in Rock vile over the getting of orders which war rant the starting up of the mills These orders are not large, and excite hope, rather than expectation, of permanent inn provement. The markets are depleted, and, as it is certain now that the country must have new goods before new tariff law can go into effect, a temporary boom is natural. Goods are shipped in small lots to conservative buyers. In room oi truck loads of cases going to the depot we are now often seeing small packages delivered at the express office.

The recent arrest of American fisher men caught poaching in Canadian waters on Lake Erie is not going to plunge us in- to fratricidal war. The view of the mat ter taken at the state department is that the uniucky sportsmen went after those forbidden Canuck black bass at their own proper risk and peril.

THE south has been punished in one way for the tariff reform disturbance, of which it is such promoter. The unem- ployed have not been able to indulge in fruit with their usual freedom, so the city markets have been glutted with the per- ishable product, which has been sold very cheaply everywhere. Only very few lots of strawberries have so far been brought to Stafford. Pines, bananas, etc., have been very cheap, also.

tE. c. Blrge, in conn. Farmer,

On 8 soft day last winter we carted with a two-horse wagon about three loads of barn rubbish and rotten ensilage out into a field of mellow ground and spread 1t. The frost had come out for more than the depth of the felly. The loads drew hard, and after going in the bars we branched off a littles way and went no further than was necessary to spread the loads.
 The field is naturally very dry and mel low. Now, potatoes and sweet corn be- ing planted, we can stand at the bar-way and trace the path of those loads by the lunpy character of the ground. The wheelharrow and the bush had not much effect than, to turn the Jumps over and wear of the corners after the fashion of the glacial age of our loose stones. An other farmer was telling me of the same 2 experience this season. Of course this is not 3 new experience of rushing into thawing fields where the wise man fears to tread, but 1t is an experience worth re- peating for the lesson of caution it carries. Does this clipping from one of the pa- pers explain the lump?
 "Avoid blowing when wet, as the kaolin in clayey soils when moist swells and be- comes sticky, and it's glutinous action makes smooth furrow and choked soil pores"
 Prof. Johnson says: "Kaolinite is a hydrous silicate of alumnia, which is pro. duced by the slow decomposition of field spar under the action of air and water at usual temperature. Formed In this way, h . more or less impure state, it consti- tutes the mass of white porcelain clay or kaalin, which is largely used in making the finer kinds of pottery. It appears in white or yellowish crystalline scales of a pearly luster, or as an amorphous trans lacent powder of extreme fineness. Or dinary clay is still more impure kaol- inite.,''
 It isn't wise for the farmer to go into the pottery business in this way. But while 1t is poor farm practice the chemi- ical process in the soil which brings about these stubborn combinations is interest ing and worth the investigation of those chemically inclined.

Dr. Talmage's Brooklyn tabernacle was burned down last Sunday for the third time, and each time on Sunday. It was soon after noon, and only ten minutes af- ter 8 crowd of 5000 people, who had at tended the morning. service, had left the building. Talmage himself had a narrow escape. With the church was destroyed the fine hotel Regent, one of the finest of great hotels; and the Summerfield Meth odist church and twenty handsome resi- dences were good deal damaged. It was one of the greatest fires that Brook lyn has ever seen-entailing loss esti- mated at about $1 100000. The fire was apparently. caused by. an imperfeetly in- sulated electric wire in the organ loft. The church is heavily burdened with debt, though the land is good for the full obli. gation. Dr. Talmage, however, declares that he will not again take the pastorate of church that is not paid for.
