Hon. William r.. Chandler figures out
in the Concord Monitor strong posi-
bility that the Republicans will have
strength enough In the next Senate to
pass tariff bill. The total number of
Senators 1.-TWO vaoancles) will be SO, of
which a majority is 40. OF the IS AZ are
Republicans, 30 Democrats, and Popu.
lists. II Delaware were to elect it
would still require only As to control,
II Kentucky should be vacant. The
doubtful points in the above are as fol-
lows, quoting Senator Chandler's Ian
guage' Utah (Brown) is called Repubii-
can as now. South Dakota (Kyle) is
called Republican, again. Kansas is
called Populist, as now. California ia
called Republican. as now. South DHko-
ia (Pettigrew) aud Utah (Cannon) are
called Republican, as now. Considering
carefully these six points Of doubt the
chances are decidedly that the Republi-
can situation will be as good as above
stated; AZ votes out of 3d." Assuming
that % Senators are necessary to pass a
tariff bill, "who OF the AZ kepublicans',
asks Senator Chandler, twill refuse to
vote for tariff, influenced by his silver
vlewsg" and then he proceeds to answer
his Question as follows:
Che only possib are the cases of
Senators Mantle, PettiQrew, Carter and
Cannon and any two Of their four votes
will carry the bill. Senator Carter has
already taken his position, and Mantle
and Cannon will undou btedly take the
same stand In favor of tariff legislation,
whether they get free coinage or not the
people having spoken on that subject.
Senator Fettigrew supports Bryan, but
after the election he will doubtless can
ter back into the Republican fold, SO as
to remain on the committee on Indian
affairs and keep on the committee on ap-
preparations.
Mr.. Chandler's assumption that Carter
will vote for tariff bill is doubtless
we'll founded. But as regards Mantle,
Cannon and Pettigrew the case is not
SO clear. They may and they may not.
Not much can be predicted about their
action in advance. The sentiment of
their States will have much to do with
1t. and what that will be after
election cannot be foreseen. It can fairly
be said that the passage of a tariff bill
by the next Senate is not hopeless, but it
cannot be pronounced very hopeful.
Much will depend upon the the extent
of the free silver defeat. II it be SO over
whelming as to discourage future efforts
for free silver probably the free silver,Re-
publican Senators will be ready to vote
for tariff bill.

those States is not much different form
that of the New England agriculturists.
All have had to take low prices for their
products for several years past. While
the wheat and corn of the Illinois farmer
have been low, 80 have the potatoes of the
Maine agrioulturist. There was inst az
much reason that the mind of the Maine
farmer should be receptive to the free

farmer should be. As matter Of fact we

either rye or wheat is sown i'll Septem-
Der. 1t is usual to wait until nearly
October before sowing the grass seed,
else it will crowd the grain too much
next season. If you want the grass alone,
we advise sowing it on we'll prepared
seed bed in August, AS the seed will
start quickly, and with seven pounds of
seed per acre the young grass will get
sufficient growth to green the surface

Country Gentleman gives this infor-
nation concerning the cutting of sor-
ghum for feed: 1t should be nearly ripe,
as it will make richer food and cure bet
ter. 1t will head OFT and make little
seed, and this should be ripe enough to
grow before the crop is cut a light
frost will help to cure it and will not
injure it at all. When it stands up well,
it can be cut with the binder and bound
in small bundles, but should not be
shocked until the butts have dried out
well, rs there is danger of its souring il
the fresh cut bundles are set ON damp
earth. If cut with the moving machine,
cure as you would hay and draw it i'll
loose. 1t may be left out i'll the swath
until well cured, and it is little injured
by rain, as it is coarse and the water
runs through it and it soon dries. Cut
before frost if ripe enough.

Market gardeners make much larger
profits out of the turnip crop than dc
farmers. The reason is that they grow
the turnip early, having it ready for use,
sweet and good by midsummer, at
