RetaliatOry Tariff Amendment.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The house
Tuesday, by an overwhelming vote, de-
cided to adopt a quorum-counting rule,
which for ali practical purposes is the
same as that which Speaker Reed Of
Maine inaugurated during the Fifty-first
congress and which won for him
world wide reputation. Neither undue
excitement nor tumuItuous scenes
marked the crushing of the old legisla-
tive barriers. Mr.. Reed and the Repub-
hcans generally were in happy humor
over the victory they had achieved.
Those who expected Mr.. Reed would
taunt and jibe his political adversaries
with their alleged inconsistency, were
disappointed. Only 10 minutes on a side
were allowed for debate and Mr.. Reed.
instead of consuming that with an ar
raignment of the Democrats good ma
turedly distributed most of it to the
Democrats who desired to oppose the
new rule, and when his time was ex
hausted he jocularly asked for more
time to dole out among his friends on
the other side-MeSsrs. Bryan. Cum
mings, Wheeler, Kilgore and Russell, be-
ing the Democrats who were thus given
an opportunity to protest against the
adoption of the rule.
Congressman Bryan Opposed to It.
Mr.. Bryan (Neb.) was very earnest in
his opposition to the proposed rule. This
was a matter of great Importance, he
said. Over half the states in the Union,
including New York, Pennsylvania. Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohie. and Nebraska, re-
quired the affirmative vote of majority
of their legislature to enact laws. It
might be inconvenient at times, but 1t
was essentially a safe plan; it was the
safeguard of the minority. 1t gave the
minority the power to compel the con-
currence of majority on any measure,
and, while the power could be used for
flbustering purposes, after all it was
better to be safe than to be sorry.
When the vote was taken. II Demo
Gratis voted against it, but it secured
every Republican vote, and carried by
vote of 212 to At. The PopuIists did not
vote on the proposition.
The adoption of this rule, taken in con-
junction with the decision to enforce the
old law of 1916, to dock the salaries OF
members absent save on account of sick
ness, will, it is thought, put an end for
ever to parliamentary obstruction.
Mr.. Reed was surrounded by his
party friends and given an ovation. A
large bunch of La France roses was car
ried up the aisle and placed on Mr..
Reeds desk. Another Republican out
burst followed. The flowers were sent
with the compliments of Representative
Apsley (Mass.).
After the adoption of the rule it only
required a few minutes to straighten out
the parliamentary tangle which the
house has been in for some days. and the
house then quietly proceeded with the
consideration of the consular and diplo-

The Gospel of Good Roads.

The gospel of good roads so in
dustriously taught by the press of
the United States is at last begin
ming to bear fruit, and one state
at least has moved in the matter.
Massachusetts has passed a law
making the highway commission
Il permanent one, and appropriated
100000 to be expended under the
immediate supervision of the com.
mission, in constructing new and
rebuilding old roads. This action

out the country, and for the publi-
cation of such information as would
assist the people in bcttering their
highways, shows that the idea of
better roads is advancing and will
show Il still further growth in the
near future. In Massachusetts the
work has started in most through
manner. In June, '92, temper.
airy commission was appointed to
examine into the condition of the
roads and to draft bill providing
for their improveme mt. The law
suggested by the commission was,
with some changes, passed in June,
1913, but a year later an act was in
troduced and passed increasing the
powers of the commission and per-
mitting the selectmen ofany town,
or the mayor and aldermen of any
city, as we'll as county commission
ers, to petition the highway COM
missio for taking roads as state
highways. The 100000 appropri-
ated has been pretty evenly divid-
ell among II counties. Before de-
Gliding which of the many petitions
should be granted an official visit
was paid to each locality and full
information as to the value of the
proposed Improvement collected.
While this method has distributed
the work in small sections of the
reads, thus increasing the expense
per mile, the advantage to the peo-
pie at large will be greater. for the
reason that each portion of the
states highway is intended to be
an object lesson to those living near
by. County commissioners and
other officials will watch the
work AS il progresses and follow
out the same lines in building coun.
ty and other roads which are not
intended for state highways. The
plan is to build, section by section,
such roads as will connect the
great centers Of trade, and join
with through roads in other states,
so that both local and interstate
communication will he benefited.
Thirty eight sections have been
contracted for already, and the
state commission is now giving
careful consideration ~ the plan OF
planting shade trees along the
highways. With this end in view
experts have been consulted con.
cerning the best varieties for the
purpose, so as to determine the spe,
cies we'll adapted to the soil and

of their remarks are hysterical and
inaccurate; but they cordially unite

METHODS OF IRRIGATION.


rfacsiced at tho West.
"A writer in American Gardening
groups the methods of irrigating land
into threc classes--hooding burrows and
subirrigating. As the first two are moro
commonly employed at the west, what
the writer says under these heads will be
here reproduced. lie says concerning
flooding:
For grain fields and alfalfa meadows
the water is spread ont in thin sheet
over the entire surface. It is taken from
the secondary distributing bitches
through small gates into shallow trench
es. If the land is level it is laid off in
to squares of from one-half to three
fourths of an acre by means of furrows,
but. if there is considerable slope it may
be terraced or the checks may be mar
row, with bank at the lower side to
hold back the water When water is
needed by the crop, the gates are opened
and water is admitted to the furrows,
from which it is allowed to spread out
over the highest check until all the
ground has been covered, after which it
is turned upon the one next lower.
This method is very wasteful Of wa
ter and is not we'll adapted to other than
sandy soils, as, il clay is present to any
extent, the surface will bake and crack.
The amount of water required for this
method of irrigation varies with the soil
and crop, as well as with the season and
locality.
In Colorado it is estimated that the
duty of water, or the amount that
stream of water flowing at the rate Of
one cubic foot per second will irrigate,
is from so to so acres, but in some parts
times this after the first season. AS
rule, from two to three waterings in
season are given.
For such crops as are worked by the
horse the water is applied in burrows be-
tween the rows, but if the land is level
and the crops are hand worked it is
thrown up into beds from Is to 30 feet
wide, along the crests of which the wa
ter is carried in shallow trenches, over
the edges of which it runs and soaks in
to the soil. Any surplus water passes in
to the dead burrows between the beds,
by which it is carried off. A similar
method is used for irrigating orchards
and small fruit plantations, the water
being carried in trenches between alter
nate rows of trees, to each of which
branch trench leads, the water be-
ing allowed to soak into the ground the
best it can, or checks are forced by
throwing up ridges around the trees, in
to which the water is admitted.

Corn Culture.

The experiments Of Professors King
of the Wisconsin and Hays of the Da-
kota stations go to show conclusively
that on good corn soil the depth of the
plowing had nothing to do with the root
habits of corn. 1t appears to have been
proved that the artificial hill is of no in
fluence, save to assist in drying out soil
that is, as a rule, quite dry enough for
the full growth Of the plant. When one
understands the habits of corn roofing,
he will readily see that fiat culture, and
inducing the large feeding roots to de-
velop in the surface soil and send the
feeders down into the deep soil from
them, is the natural way, and that root
pruning is not best, even in years of full
average rainfall.

In Time Of Drought.

Professor Roberts makes the point
that stirring the upper part Of the soil
i'll a dry time is better than a mulch to
preserve moisture, because cultivation
tends to keep the roots below the stirred
soil, while mulch draws the roots to
the surface-not a good place for them.
He mentions the effect of cultivation in
dry seasons. in California, where they
have no rain from May till September.
Yet in orchards and vineyards he saw
the top soil as dry and fine as an ash
heap, but one could kick away this dust
and find moisture three or four inches
beneath the surface.
