Rake for Cleaning Corn Stubble.
always objects to the appearance of
the cut corn stubs in the land In which
the oats are sown as the first of the
spring crops. They are not only un-
pleasant to look at, but they are in the
way of good culture of the land. The
illustration shows an implement Tor
gathering this rubbish and getting rld
of it so as to turn it to immediate good
use. A bar of strong oak timber SIX
inches wide and three Inches thick
has a tongue fitted into 1t in the usual
way, and is furnished with a number
of curved teeth made of half-inch steel
bar. The teeth are sharptncd so that
they take fast hold Of the stubs below
the surface of the ground n tear
them out, and also gather them as they
pull them out Of the soil. AS a load is
collected, the rake is lifted by a pair
of handles fastened to the bar. The
shape of the teeth is shown, and these
are best made with d thread on the
top for a nut to fasten them in the
bar. The most effect is gained by
going diagonally across he rows so
that the teeth will take good hold of
the stubs. The best time to do the
work is after the ground has been
sofened by the rain, but not until the
soil is dry enough for clean work. The
teeth should be not less than four inch
es apart. In turning at the end of the
rows it will be safest 10 lift the bar
clear of the ground 70 avoid bending
the teeth. When the gathered trash is
dry it may be burned and the ashes
spread at oncc.-Orange Judd Farmer.
Improved Brace for Wire Fences
One trouble with wire fences is the
liability of the wires to become loose,
sagging down or losing their tension.
This is mainly caused by the posts
tipping or leaning towards the point
of the greatest strain and which is
not fully overcome by the common
plan of placing a brace against the
top end Of the post, the other end be-
ing imbedded in the ground. This low
er end is subject to the action of frost,
decay and the liability of the stone or
other substance against which it rests
to become displaced. By the plan
shown herewith this trouble is obviat-
ed and a firm anchorage secured. The
two end posts are connected at the
top by a strip or pole a, two 2x3 inch
strips m IN are nailed in the form of an
Y to the top and bottom of the posts;

Mourning Over A Gas BIZ.

The Chinese legation has always
been an object of curiosity in Wash
ington, and the mysterious goings ON
in the famous old Stewart castle, we're
a never failing source of wonder and
speculation. Now that the Legation
has magnificent triple house for its
home out on the Heights, the interest
IN the inhabitants Is still further in
creased. The Chinese Minister is new
to Washington, and his ignorance Of
some of its ways was the cause Of a
very peculiar complication the other
morning.
The monthly bills Of the Washing
ton Gas Light Company are printed
on paper of peculiarly dirty yellow
tint, which happens to be the exact
hue Of the Chinese emblem Of mourn
ing. The long strips are left regular
~ at the doors of all houses in the
city, and at the Chinese Legation
among the rest. The other day one
was left for the first time at the new
home of the Legation, which is filed
with new Chinese servants. The gas
bill strip was left in the vestibule, and
being carried to the new Minister, pro
foundry affected him. 1t was evident
" intended, he thought, as notifca-
ton of somebody's death, and as 1t
was left at the Legation door it indi-
Gated the bereavement Of some family
high in official life.
The Minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instru-
ments Of mourning were brought out,
the shutters were drawn, and passers
by for the remainder of the day were
RECALLED with a combination Of curious
noises, such as the Chinese only know
how to utter when engaged in bewail-
ing the dead, and the Minister retired
with the satisfaction Of knowing that
he had performed diplomatic cour.

oyer the stock of the Union Pacific
Railroad, now in the hands of the re-
ceivers. During the past week there
has been much quiet discussion OF
the matter, spurred on by the atten-
tion given to other embarrassments
in the railroad situation arising from
the management of the roads by the
receivers. C.P Huntington has been in
Washington several days in consulta-
ton, part of the time with Senator
Brice, the chairman Of the Senate
committee on Pacific Railroads, and
also with other senators and represen-
tatives. A result of this visit was the
introduction of bill for refunding
the debt of the Union Pacific. Mr.
Huntington's time was spent in ex-
planning his views TO the representa-.
tives of the House committee on rail
roads. This committee, however, do
propose to permit the senate to take
the initiative in proposing plans for
adjusting the Indebtedness of the rail
road to the government II it should
go to work independently to devise a
scheme Of its own troublesome differ
ences would probably ensue between
the two houses Representative Reilly
of Pennsylvania, chairman Of the
House committee on railroads, has
conferred frequently with Mr.. Brice
on the subject and is fully Informed
of the views of the Senate committee.
Several schemes for settlement have
been proposed to the House commit
tee, but no one of them yet has re-
ceived sufficient backing TO justify its
mention as a probability.

Internal Revenue Receipts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Reports of
internal revenue receipts for the first
ten days of the present month are
s5,579,211, against s4,515,s04 for
the corresponding period last year.
The treasury officials regard this as a
sign of returning business activity. 1t
is a significant increase by reason OF
the fact that since the beginning OF
the fiscal year till now the internal
revenue receipts have constantly de-
creased.

One of the most important pieces
of legislation of the present congress
is the act repeating the Federal Elec-
tions law, which, after being passed
by the senate, was approved by the
President the following day. The act
was passed in the senate by vote of
80 to %, which was on party lines,
with the exception that one republi-
can and two populists voted with the
democrats. When the bill came up
for final passage a number of amend
ments limiting the operation of the
repeal in one way and another were
proposed, but they were all voted
down. This repeal brings to an end
the federal supervision of elections,
and marks the extreme point of the
reaction from the proposal to
strengthen federal control of elections
which almost reached the stage of
enactment in the Fifty-first congress.

STATE School Superintendent Lower
furnishes tSe Statesman his text book
report, which shows that the cost of
supplying the children of the state
with books under the free system, for
the present school year, was S44, 433,
or S1.29 per capita, remarkable re-
duction as compared with the individ-
ual purchase system. OF this amount
over $500 was for supplemental read
ers. Superintendent Lower estimates
that the expense for the next school
year viii not exceed 45 cents per cap
tia 1t was the original idea to levy
special tax in each district 20 pay for
the books, but this has been unneces-
sary. The July, 1893. apportionmeut
of state money, arising from the sale
of school lands, was sufficient to pay
S125 per capita on the books, while
the January apportiOnment nearly, if
not entirely, made up the balance.

THE state election is not so far off
as it has been and it is not so near as
1t will be, but it IS none too soon for
democratic leaders to begin "to get
together" and formulate plans for the
coming campaign. There will be be-
tween 5000 and 10000 new voters in
Idaho this year, and it is well for our
leaders to make their acquaintance.
The republicans and populists are or
ganizing and it will be the poorest
kind of wisdom for us to keep on
saving wood while those two parties
pick the young, the strong and stall
wart OF those new men and leave us
the MANNED, the halt, the sick and the
blind. Certainly we cannot follow in
the procession if we go in as silent

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA new turn
was given to the silver discussion in
the house by BANDS announcement
that he will move at a later day an
amendment to the pending bill so that
silver certificates can be issued only
as fast as the silver dollars are coin
ed, with the added authority to the
secretary Of the treasury to issue GER
tificates in advance Of the coinage, if
he so desired. The change is design
ed to overcome one of the main Objec-
tons of Carlisle to the bill This OBJ
lection is shared by many members of
the house to such an extent that the
passage of the seigniorage bill was in
doubt The change now proposed by
Bland obviates the objections so that
the passage Of the seigniorage bill IS
regarded as certain.
