was any such intimaton as Mr. Allen had
referred to, it never came TO him (Jones)
He was amazed when the amendment was
brought in.
Mr.. Allen accepted the statement and
said he withdrew The remark that Mr..
Jones had spoken in a Pickwickian sense.

Mr.. Allen reverted to the sugar inquiry
OF last year, saying it had disclosed that
senator's had spec lated in sugar stock
and that one senator declared he had the
right to speculate, thus in effect defvInzs
congress, as there was no rule save that
of morality to dictate in such cases. He
also referred to the trial of Messrs. Have
meyer, Searles, Chapman and others in
the district of Columbia courts severely
commenting on the fact that Judges Cole
and Cox had been set aside, and a man
by the name of Bradley put on the bench. ."
Every protected trust in the country had
hand in this congress, he declared. Ev-
cry industry had been remembered, save
the best sugar industry. and it was put
on with the delusive promise of action
next December, when there was no pur-
pose ever to resurrect it,
Mr.. Thurston of Nebraska replied briefly
to his colleague. He lent emphasis to his
remarks by turning to Mr.. Allen and ad-
introduced the bounty amendment in good
1aith and had earnestly urged it until a
threat OF protracted debate was made
Then holding the prosperity of the coun-
try over and above the interests of his
state, believing the widespread benefit was
to come with the passing of this tariff bill,
he had withdrawn the bounty amendment
Mr.. Allen, in turn, justified his course
saying he had entered the Senate at a
time when the government was bankrupt
and when some course was imperative to
reduce the government expenses, avoid
bond issues and put more money in the
treasury.
MI. Allison then moved, as a means of
testing the sense of the Senate that the
Allen amendment providing a sugar
bounty, be laid on the table.
The motion prevailed-yeas 81, nays 8.
The republicans and democrats voted to

BIYTHE'S DOODLE.
A Decree Ordered Entered In Favor
of the English BIythes.


San Francisco, July 6.-Unlted States
Circuit Judge w. NJ. Morrow rendered
decision in the famous Blythe case this
afternoon which was in the nature Of
surprise. He ordered a decree entered in
favor of the English Blythes as prayed
for in their cross-complaint by default,
and In his findings made several rulings
which are in direct conflict with those of
the state courts. Among other things il is
held that Florence Blythe was born an
illegitimate child in 1873 when her progen-
itors were subjects of Great Britain.
1t is further decided that neither Flor
ence Blythe Hinckley, John W. Blythe
nor Henry T. Blythe have any legal claim
to the property, and that their claims are
fraudulent. The next of kin to the late
Thomas H. Blythe are declared to be as
follows. Alexander and William Jones,
James Maudsley, Elizabeth Jacques, Eg-
bert Dover, Hannah Monk, Jane Page.
James Blythe ana Elizabeth b. Page ana
George Page. Under this ruling 1t Is con-
sidered probable that Mrs. Florence
Blythe Hinckley will lose the property
which she has fought for so hard and
bitterly during ten years.

HOW ABOUT YOUR WATER SUP
PLY FOR YOUR COWSa

Success must be the watch word of
all practical dairymen; and the higher
success they achieve the nearer they
will have come to realize the ideal of
perft cSion towards which they must
strive to reach. 1t will require con-
siderable work, and constant daily at
tention to all the small details, if the
highest standard Of SUCCESS is to be at
tanned. But no ambitious dairymen
can afford to neglect them. And still
there are very few dairymen that
realjz9 the necessity of supplying the
COWS with sufh ;ient water, especially
in the winter. Milk contains 81 per
cent of water, and COW that weighs
600 pounds, when in full milk, will
drink about IL to 13 gallons of water
each day, if she can obtain it whenever
| she feels inclined to drink. But if she
cannot have access to water more than
once day, she will drink very large
quantity when thirsty, and then again
on cold stormy days go thirsty from
the trough, after driL king a few
m0uthfuls. Nov, if q COW drinks as
much as IL gallons of icy cold water at
one time, it will give her q terrible
chill, from which it will often take the
cow several hours before she regains
the animal heat necessary to make her
feel comfortable, and no secretion of
milk can take place before she has as
sumed her natural temperature Be-
sides, a very large quantity of water
| taken at one time makes the food In
her stomach so lquid that it cannot be
raised for ruminaGion. OF course, ma
| ture soon removes the surplus, but the
process continues, and the contents of
the stomach become too dry and solid.
So the COW is handicapped both ways,
| when, II the necessary water was aE
hand, the COW would take little at q
time when needed for the best result.
DAirymen who have supplied their
| COWS with 81 ffi cient water In the barn.
| find that the same lot Of COWS will give
from 10 per cent to even as much as
20 per cent. more milk on Ehe same
food, and no dairyman who keeps COWS
| for profit can ignore suGh results.
D airy men that have not provided for
watering devlc In their barns should
not fail to GO so as sOOn as possible.
For this purpose q shaped trough
running the whole length Of the stable,
| Immediately over the center Of the
manger will be found very convenient.
Place the water trough about 81 feet
above the floor of the manger. 4G VIII
| thus not Inconvenience either COW or
| attendant. and the water can easily be
| let into it from q tank, or pumped
| directly from the well into the trough.
If water cannot be constantly supplied
to the mich COWS, it should be given to
them in the barn at least two or, still
better, three times a day.-LeWis o.

HOW TO DESTROY MoLzs.

A subscriber asks how to destroy
moles. We doubt very much the
policy Of killing moles. From very
careful investigation made, it has been
proved that their food is almost wholly
insectivorous. They destroy in i'm
mense quantities the larva of some Of
the most destructive insect pests, and
are always found working where these
pests abound. We admit that they do
some damage by uprooting plants and
causing them to wilt and die by tun
neling under them, but we doubt much
whether this damage amounts to any
thing like the good they do by Kidding
the soil of the larval forms of insect
life. They may be destroyed by set
ting steel traps in their runs, or by
placing bisulphide of carbon in the
runs. Any strong smelling drug, such
as assa'oe ida, placed in the runs, will
cause them to forsake the ground. In
using bisulphide Of carbon, be careful
to have no lights around, as it is highly
explosive. Southern Planter.

JULY ON TIE FARM.

The hot weather Of mid summer is
now upon us, and it behooves the
thrifty farmer to make hay while the
sun Shines" Most of the upland hay
crop is now harvested before the 45h on
many farms, the swales, river meadows
and salt marshes being usually left till
the uplands have been harvested. The
crop is better than the average on most
farms in consequence Of the abundant
rains in May and June, and there will
be no good reason for high prices or
scarcity of fodder this year.
After hay ing is over there is often a
comparatively leisure time on many
farms; this is used to good advantage
in clearing up waste land, and espe
cially draining wet places and meadows.
The springs and brooks are usually low
at this season of the year, and for this
reason it is easier to put in the drains
than at any other time of year.
The small fruit grower will be busy
harvesting his currants, gooseberries,
raspberries and blackberries, and the
wild berries of the pastures will give
employment to many children and wo-
men. The harvesting of this wild fruit
has assumed considerable Importance
in some of our hill towns, and more at
tention is being paid to the crop than
formerly.
The market gardener is now busy
with harvesting his crops of early cab
bage, lettuce, onions, beans, beets,
summer squashes, etc., and clearing
up the land for the late crops, such as
late squashes, colery, late cabbage and
cauliflower.
In working the land at this time Of
year care must be taken in dry weather
to prevent the rapid evaporation of the
moisture from the surface of the land.
The plow should be followed quickly
by the roller to prevent this.
In setting out plants, it is of course
we'll to choose a time after a rain il
possible when the II is moist and the
air damp. But in case of continued
dry, hot weather, plants may bestill
made to live by using proper care in
handling thems~ The tops should be
sheared off about. half their length, the
roots kept wet while planting, the

every single plot where COW peas were
turned under and relied upon as a
source Of nitrogen, the crop, no matter
of what kind, was invariably and pos

Theorize over this as we may, the
fact remains, that organic nitrogen is
slower in it's action, and decidededly
less satisfactory, as far as either imme.

Prof. Massey and his very efficient as
sistant, Mr.. Alexander Rhodes, are
experimenting the experiments at that
place, these gentlemen may be able to
throw some light on this question.
From the beneficial effects of lime
upon every plot to which it has been
applied, including those plots where
pea vines had been turned under, We
cannot avoid the belief that our theory
as briefly outlined above is correct, but
if not, we are open to conviction, and

meet, and leave little margin on the
right side of the books, we can go for
ward with cheerfulness, feeling that
lower prices are hardly probable, and
that with better prices our profits will
be correspondingly increased.
The good dairyma will breed up his
own herd, selecting each year the best,
and setting his mark high in order that
he may have something to strive for,
and something to triumph in when he
shall have reached the goal.
Heiters should be milked as long as
possible the first year, for if allowed to
go dry long time the first year the
habit becomes fixed and the COW is less
profitable than she might have been.
Warm stables are absolutely essential
to the greatest success, and these
should have abundance of light, for no
living thing thrives in semi darkness.
Regular feeding and milking by the
same persons, kind treatment, and
plenty OF feed must be the rule, and
careful grooming and clean bedding
also add to the returns.
There are good many formulas for
feeding dairy COWS, but the best one
seems to be plenty of feed in as great
variety as possible. Anything the COW
may relish should be given her, and
with dry forage roots or ensilage in
liberal quantities. For summer pasture
to begin with, and as soon as that
grows short it should be pieced out by
feeding green feed of some kind. There
IS noloss In cutting green feed for stock,
as recent experiments show that field
that is pastured does not furnish to ex-
c3ed one third as much feed as one in
which the grass is allowed to grow and
is cut afterward. Bran oats and corn
oats in tbs sheaf and corn in the ear or
shock, M. Judd says, may be fed with
profit.
Have the COWS come in in the winter,
as that is the time when prices are the
highest, and brings the dry time just
when prices are lowest, as rule. A
COW will give about so much milk in
year, no matter what time she comes
in, and she should be bred so as to pro.
duce milk during the whole of the sea-
son of best prices.
By attention to all these details, care.

APPLES AS MEDICINE.

The German analysts say that the
apple contains larger per centage of
phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetable. This PHOSPHORUS is admir-.
ably adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter, lithlcin, of the brain
and spinal chord. It is perhaps, for
the same reason the old Scandinavian
tradition represents the apple as the
food of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves growing feeble and infirm,
resorted to this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also the
acids of the apple are Of signal service
for men Of eedentary habits, whose
livers are sluggish in action, these
acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters which, if re-
tained, make the brain heavy and dull,
or bring about jaundice, skin eruptions
and other allied troubles. Some such
experience must have led to our Gus
tom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose and like dishes.
A good ripe, raw apple is one Of the
easiest of vegetable substances for the
stomach to deal with, the whole pro-
cess of it's digestion being completed in
eighty five minutes.
In the Hotel des Invalides Of Paris
an apple poultice is used commonly for
infamed eyes, the apple being roasted
aud it's pulp applied over the eyes with,
out any intervening substance. Long
ago it was said apples do easily and
speedily pass through the belly, there.
fore they do not moliify the belly. And
for the san reason a modern maxim
teaches that ITO eat an apple going to
bed, the doctor then will beg his bread. D
Fcuits were given US before drugs,
and they were all given some medicin,
al virtue. Prunes, apples, pears, figs
peaches, are all aperient, and how
much better it is to keep the liver and
bowels free from clogging by pleasant
fruit laxatives than by resorting every
few days to drastic saline purgatives,
or to calomel aud its various com
