ADJOURNMENT.

Distractions to Rapid LegiS-
latiOn Cleared Away.
W00ns0cket Court House Bill Passed
in the House.

The members OF the Rhode Island
House OF Representatives discovered this
morning that they had mist judged DIR.
Garvin OF Gu u berland, inasmucn as they
had. always considered him only capable
OF being tiresome. Today he proved most
conclusively that The Is amusing. his
golden opportunity came at the opening
OF the session when Mr.. Studley OF Proyi-
dence introduced a joint resolution that
the Assembly adjourn from today until
tuesday. April z. The doctor presented
an amendment to the effect that the AS
sembly adjourn on the last Friday In
March to meet according TO law. lie com
mncced to speak in support OF his amend
ment at ii 80 O'Clock and his introduc-
tion was the statement that to adjourn
now for a two months recess would be an
insult TO the people and an outrageous
piece of legislation. Then followed ar
guments arranged according to the rules
OF. rhetoric. the weaker preceding the
stronger and tbs final clincher was that
on a week from next Saturday evening
the Rhode Island Citizens League is go
ing to have a supper somewhere at which
Alfred Dawson, Thomas W.. Bicknell,
James A. Williams and four Mayors would
make speeches. Ii would be an outrage,
the doctor said, for the Assembly TO ad-
journ before the members could N out
from the after dinner speeches OF the
Rhode Island Citizens League what the
people of the State want them to &C.
Numerous questions were fired at the
doctor, but he would not yield the floor.
At 1910 O'Clock Mr.. Barstow decided
that business should come before too
much pleasure and he raised the point of
order under rule 20, which reads as fol-
lows:
"No motion or proposition OF n subject
different from that under consideration shall
be admitted under color Of amendment.
Speaker Allen considered the point well
taken and ruled both Dr. 6arviu and hts
amendment out of order. The doctor
appealed from the decision of the chair.
He was alone in voting for the appeal.
The previous question was then called
for, and the resolution OF adjournment was
passed and sent to the.. Senate, where con-
current action was taken.

Devastation Of Forests.

The devastation of forests still goes
on in various parts of the country,
which, unlike New York and q few Of
the eastern and middle states, do not
appreciate the value of trees. Unfortu-
nately, this appreciation, even in the
east, has come too late. It is proudly an
nounced in western paper that large
syndicate has acquired possession of
10000 acres of timber land in northern
Idaho. It is estimated that this area
will yield more than 400, OcO 900 feet Of
white and yellow pine, red and white
fir, cedar and tamarack. The arifwaste
which 1t will also yield is not taken into
consideration in this estimate. Amer
leans have too long looked upon trees
as in their way unless they could be used
to build fires or for commercial pur-
poses. This was true a few hundred
years ago in Germany; but now man
who cuts down tree must plant one
to take its place, or suffer penalty.
Probably like provision will be en-.
acted here some time, but it should
come before many more trees are felled.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

DO not overcrowd the poultryhouse.
A close, ll-ventilated house is foul
house.
Nothing tends to engender disease in
chickens more than hlth in the coops.
A duck fattens easily. This should be
guarded against when they are laying.
Sit the hens in a cool place and on the
ground, as the weather begins to get
hot.
Too much linseed meal will make
the hens too fat, but small quantity is
healthfui.
Bran should always be scalded before
being fed, as the fowls will relish it
much better.
As . rule the turkey hens prefer to
steal their nests out, and if the eggs are
secured it is necessary to watch them.
More meat and better meat in 4
shorter space of time can be produced
from poultry than in any other way

FlHhting the Cutworm.

In bulletin from the New Jersey
station it is stated that clover or sod
land is most frequently infested by cut
worms, which are less frequently found
on late cultivated land. The worms arc
especially abundant in crimson clover.
Among the remedies suggested clean
culture is placed first, prominently as
sociated with early fall blowing. Ap-
plying a top dressing of kainit and
nitrate of soda in the early spring if
corn is to be planted is advised, the
seeding to be-delayed until the rain has
carried the fertilizers into the soil.
Distributing clover or bran that has
been ,noistened with paris green about
the fields is also recommended.

FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT CHICKEN LICE.
Half . Days Hard Work In the Poultr

Half . Days Hard Work In the Poultry
House viii XIII Them.
The season is now approaching when
chicks will be troubled with these pests.
The first signs of lice are with the early
sitting hens. From their nests whole
house will soon be overrun with them.
Chicks show tho presence OF lice very
quickly, and lice are certain death to
them, il not protected. The hen should
be set III movable box, which should
be thoroughly clcaned and WHITE
washed before she is placed in it. Put
Two ~ three coats OF whitewash on
every interior spot in the building; lice
harbor in the crevices Of the rough sid
ings, and ON the under side OF the
perches.
Let the fowls have q dust box, for
whitewash and tire dust box are the
surest prcventives OF lice. Hot ashes
should be mixed with the dust ot:ca-
sionally to dry it. If this has been done
before spring laying and sitting begins
you will have no trouble with lice So
many farmers neglect their poultry
house in the spring, and long before
they have thought Of lice the pests are
busy on their chicks supping their
young lives away. Kerosene and ,lhrd
when applied is very effective. but they
are very dangerous In their effects. A
little castor oil ON the head and under
the wings Of sitting hens is also very
effective. When the chicks ore removed
from the nest, each one should be
creased on the head and under its wings,
even if you do not think it has lice.
If possible, have some dus: in the coop
with the brood hen. If You want your
fowls to be free from lice you must keep
their habitation clean, and the best way
to do this is by changing the contents
of the nest and withdrawing the apart
ments. One-half day spent in clean
ing the chicken house will do wonders
for the chickens. am speaking of the
average farmers poultry house, as it is
the one neglected. Remove the pcrchcs
and give the walls thorough white
washing. Place clean gravel or dry
earth ON the floor and replace the old
perches with new ones und your fowls
will not seek some tree or fence for their
summer perch, for they will not be
troubled with lice in their house.-Ohio

The distribution of this plant in Amer
lea is as wide rs the continent. In the
prairie countries it is becoming ve1y
prevalent.
When once established, wild mustard
cannot be quickly eradicated. And in
fighting it those methods should be
adopted which shall most readily cause
the seed to terminate, and which, at the
same time, give opportunity to destroy
the plants without excessive labor. Un-
til these are all sprouted we cannot get
completely rid of the weed.
When there are only few plants
they should be pulled when in bloom,
and this should be done from year to
year till they are gone. The aid of q
saddle horse on large prairie farms may
legitimately be called in. Winter rye
and meadow tend to prevent the in
crease Of the plants; hence when mus
tart-smitten lands are seeded to grass
the seed should be sown on a nurse crop
of rye or winter wheat.
When the battle of eradication is be-
ing fought two modes of procedure may
he adopted. BY the first succession
of hood or cultivated crops may be
grown until the seeds in the soil have
become SO reduced that hand-pulling
the plants which grow from them will
be practicable. The number of these
crops required will vary, but one will
seldom suffice. BY the second method
the plan of growing several forage crops
a year for two or more years successive.
ly, and eating them off with sheep, is
one Of the very best ways of eradicating
wild mustard that will ever be adopted.
The sheep will turn all the mustard
plants into good mutton and they will
enrich the land and clean it of noxious
weeds while thus engaged. The crops
suitable for such work are rye, rape,
sorghum, peas and oats and nlillet. As
soon as thesplants are so thinned as to
justify it, hand-pulling can complete
what the sheep have SO we'll begun

4 Destructive WEED.
Two Modes of Procedure for the EradlcA-
ton of Wild Mustard.

Two Modes Of Procedure for the Eradlca-
ton of Wild Mustard.
Wild mustard (Sinapsis arvensis) is
certainly one of the difficult weeds to
completely eradicate that visits our
farms, owing to the great power pos
sessed by the seed to retain it's vitality
for apparently an indefinite number OF
years. Wild mustard is an annual. 1t
is branching in its habit of growth and
attains the height of one to two feet,
according to soil and season. The
young plants resemble radishes and
fall turnips. The blossoms are bright
yellow, hence they can be seen from
afar. The seeds resemble those of tur-
nips, cabbage and rape, and they ripen
Mt any time from the end of June on
ward until the season Of frost arrives.
This plant grows in all kinds of soils
and in any climate possessed OF sutti-
cient moisture to mature grain. But
it has particular affinity for sandy
loans and prairie soils. It grows amid
all kinds of grain crops, but is not very
trouhleso1ne in winter wheat, winter
rye, meadows or pastures. This arises
from the fact TINT it cannot withstand
frost. The seeds are distributed along
with those of the various spring grains
through the agency of water and wind,
and to some extent through that Of
birds. Flax seed is frequently the me-
dunn for carrying wild mustard seed.

The Most Profitable PIG.

A large-framed pig with good "bread
basket" and good digestion is the most
profitable grazer and consumer OF
coarse feed, and unless the number
on q farm is limited to one or two pigs
that are not grazers cannot be profit
ably kept. The herd must get its liv-
ing, for large part of the season, from
pasturage and roughage, or there is no
profit in any considerable number. II
put up and nothing fed but grain from
pighood to the block they will cost moro
than they come to, in these days Of close
prices. Clover pasturage, peas, oats,
early sweet corn, or other cheap food
must keep them growing until the
time comes when they are to be finished
for market.-Rural World.

Caro- OF Grass Lands,

Almost anything spread thinly over
grass lands will help them. Even ma-
teral not very rich and which itself will
not grow good crop will make the
grass grow better, because it acts as
a mulch for the grass roots beneath.
The washings Of poor uplands will fer
tilize the richer soil of the valleys be-
low. But except where top dressings
can be thus tfoarcepaturally by irrigation
it will not pay to top dress with poor
material. The labor will he too great,
and it will t1aznple and cut up the
grass too much unless the fertilizing
material is put on during the winter.
