JONES' CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD.

On the local page is published the
showing made by Hon. Geo. s Nixon
against Senator John P. Jones.
Inc charges made are only so far
as concerns the S-nators official rec.
ord in Washington and are of such q
as to command more than a
passing glance. They are printed in
tne APPEAL to give the widest possible
range to a discussion of a matter Of
the most vital Importance to- the peo.
pie Of Nevada.
Inc people Of this State have a right
70 a FULL explanation from Senator
one 10 answer to the showing msde
oy Mr.. Nixon. The assertions made
by the Silver State come under three
heads: That Sen ltor Jones has been
absent from the post of duty more
!nan two thirds of his time. That he
has distributed the patronage TO
which Nevada Is entitled to outside
states. That his home and family
are In Los Angeles county California
where he pays taxes on nearly two
millions OF dollars and ownes over
10000 acres of land, while be pavs no
taxes in Nevada and OWES no land
here.
In the contest the Legislature will
De called on to weigh in the balance
the past services of Senator Jones for
silver cause and the chareesmade
puollcaly by Mr.. Nixon. It is urged
oy the adherents of the Senator that
there is no man in the world who
mas as profound a knowledge OF the
financial question as Senator .Jonea
mas, and that his researches and
speeches have absolutely placed him
at the head Of the school Of monetary
science, which has for the basic prin-
clples OF its teachings the adoption of
the double standard in providing a
currency for the people. We do not
believe that anyone a SUCCESSFULLY
refure this claim.
Ii Is also asserted. and with much
force, that the defeat Of Jones will no
looked upon in the East as a repudi-
alton OF the bimetallic creed by the
people OF the State of Nevada, and he
blow to bimetallism all over the /
World; also that the National Com
nlttee fearing such a result Of Jones .
iefeat will take a hand in the fight ,
IND bring every possible force to bear
o return Jones to the U. S. Senate. =
[aklng all these matters into eonsid-
'tlon the members of the COMING
legislature will have some very pre-
problems to face.

TOPICS IN SEASON.

Plow up the old briar and weed-cov-
cred fence row and farm it for a year.
Ten chances to one you don't need the
fence. anyway
Rye for soiling should be cut at least
twice. But be sure to make the first
cutting before the heads appear. It is
said the Germans cut it three OF four
times.
When seed potatoes are allowed to
sprout and the sprouts taken off, the
tuber is weakened, and the yield will
not be so great. Shoyeling the seed
over frequently will prevent sprouting.
If it be true that the place to look
for anything is where it was lost, then
the crops in which farmers lost their
money in 1896 are the ones to grow
in 1897. Don't lose heart from one
seasons failure; nor even for two of
them
Crimson clover loses much of its
value as hay by cutting too late. 1t is
at It's best when in full bloom and be-
fore any of the heads die. The cut
ting should begin at this time, and the
last load should be gathered before any
of the seed is ripe enough to fall.
Tons and tons of hay are spoiled ev-
cry year because the barn roof has not
been repaired, the horse fork is not in
working order, and the mows are not
ready, and everything has to be done
or left undone on the morning of the
day when the new crop is to be stored.
A good stand of corn is an important
point in securing a good crop, and a
good stand can seldom be obtained
when fertilizer is put in the hill or
drill without mixing it with the soil
Any soluble complete fertilizer that is
good for for anything, will injure the
tender rootlets Of the young plant
when it comes in contact with them.
Corn smut cannot be prevented by
any treatment that may be given to
the seed, for the spores or seeds of the
fungus are in the soil. Sometimes.
however, the spores may get on the
seed when it is in the field or in the
crib. III this case soak it twenty
minutes in solution of one pound Of
copper sulphate (blue vitroD to gall
Ion Of water. This will destroy the
spores on the grain.
The commercial value of any ferti-
lizer ingredient is not always the true
standard of its value ON any particular
crop. 1t is well known that the corn
crop needs liberal supplies of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, but since
corn grows through the whole hot sea-
son, when nitrification is most active
in the soil, particularly when, as should
always be the case, a sod is buried for
the corn, the artificial application Of
nitrogen is seldom profitable in this
crop at its commercial valuation, while
potash in some form is generally prof.
table, particularly Oh sandy soils near
the sea coast, either North or South.
1t is better apply very early in spring
bu $50 pounds of muriate of potash.

For Marketing Produce.

Many gardeners and farmers have
discoverer that much more money is
made by selling their produce at first
hands from door to door than by sell
ing to merchants or commission men.
A convenient wagon is of the greatest
Importance if one is thus to market his
produce. Such wagon is ''low-hung,
and has its lower part boxed in and
floored over. Access is had to this en-
closed space by raising the drivers
seat, in front by door on each side in
the middle, and by two doors in the
rear. At one side two drawers are
shown. One of these is most conven-
lent for carrying the fiat parchment
covered prints of butter to market, car
rying the drawer to the customers door
to avoid handling. The other can be
used for eggs, using the ordinary
pasteboard filters placed one upon an
other. The rear can have drawers or
not, according to the nature Of the pro-
duce to be carried. Above the rear
doors are two metal open work
doors. that hold in the vegetables or
other articles that are piled in loosely
in the wagons top. The centre OF this
top space is easily reached from the
canvas door in either side.

Comparative Laying.

In one hennery, IL Brown Leghorns,
are at present date, giving more eggs
than so other birds. Shall we say that
this proves the claimed championship
of the Brown Leghorns as layers? Such
single facts are often made the basis
of similar claims for one breed and an
other; but this is usually most unfair.
There are other things to consider. For
instance, these Leghorns are pullets,
mostly, while the rest are chiefly hens.
The Leghorns have new. modern
house; the others am old barn. Be-
sides, all through the winter, the Leg
horns have done proportionately little
better than the others. On the other
hand, the Leghorn shed was damp,
which ought not to have been. Unless
time of Matching, housing, feed, sun
shine and unnamed other conditions
are proportionately fair. no one has a
right to laud any one breed over any
other, much less over all others New
ertheless. the experience Of thousands
goes to show the Leghorns the cham
pions.

sEAsoNABLE SAYINGS.

Head work pays in the garden.
1t does not pay to SOW seed in the
mud.
Get file to sharpen hoes. etc.: il
beats a grindstone.
Don't stir the ground when the
weather is wet and cloudy.
Have a good lettuce and radish bed
this year; and if you have only small
garden, try sowing a packet or two OF
mixed varieties of each.
Plant a few watermelon seeds and
Lima beans on an inverted sod in a
mild hotbed and transplant when the
weather gets worm and danger Of frost
is over.
Always keep a copy of your order
when sending for seeds or nursery
stock Of any kind; then see if the seeds
and plants correspond with order when
they arrive.
If you want some mammoth pump
kins or squashes this year start seeds
early in a hothed or box in the house;
when setting out fertilize well, and
only let one fruit mature to each vine
Free seeds from the Government
seed shop benefit but very few except
Congressman and Senators who arr
fishing for votes of the people. Whc
ever heard of the Government intro
ducing any new and valuable vegeta-
Bile? That is always done by seeds

PRODUCT OF THE HEN.


That Bird Proved to ba Useful Member
of the Conn unity.
The Importance of the hen from an
economic standpoint was lately inves-
tigated by citizen of Kansas City.
who wrote: Careful inquiry reveals
the astounding fact that the United
States, instead of producing more eggs
than are required for home consump-
tion, imports annually over $500, 600
worth. New York State and city con-
sumo about s45,000,000 worth of eggs
and poultry annually; the population
of both State and city is about 100000
The United States, with population
Of about 73,0O0,000 will consume pro-
portionately about S495,0O0,000 worth
of eggs and poultry each year. In cr-
der that the full value of the industry
may be determined correctly, we must
add to the above s63 100000 for the
value of the fowls restrained for breed
ing and laying stock. and about $780,
900 for fancy stock and eggs. This
shows the total of the industry to be
over $500 100000 The following fig
ures show the cash value Of products in
the United States: Cotton. s410, j.
600; hay, S436,000,000; dairy products,
$254 100000; wheat, s488. 900, GOO; poul-
try and eggs, $3.50, 100000.
While the poultry product is larger
than any of the others, it is the only
agricultural product that we do not ex-
port. While the egg production of the
United States annually amounts to
$4,000, ,000 dozen, yet we are obliged
to import from foreign countries over
16,000,00 dozen eggs annually. The
value of poultry and eggs exceeds even
that of wheat. While we think of eggs
as food, we hear but little of the use
of millions of them in the arts and
commercial branches of trade, such as
tanning, dyeing, photography, and
others. One firm in Paris uses over
100000 eggs annually in photography.
One pie establishment in New York
city uses over 10000 dozen eggs iaily,
while the city of Boston uses over $780,
600 dozen weekly. Many of the ocean
steamers are provided with eggs put UP
in cans like oysters for the use of the
tourists. The consumption Of turkeys,
ducks and chickens during Thanksgly-
ing amounts to over 25,000,000 in the
United States, and hundreds of thou
sands of pounds of poultry are annual
ly stacked up in cold storage. Thou
sands of dollars are invested in i'm
mense poultry plants all over the land,
especially in the east. The immense
demand for poultry and eggs has de-
veloped immense factories for the man.

Village Lot q. FaU.

Why should one compare these at
all, since they are so inherently difier-
ent? Yet, with respect to poultry priv
ileges they are being constantly COM
pared by their respective occupants.
The farm poultry-raiser fails utterly
to appreciate the immense advantage
which he holds in the mere fact Of
good range. The town
raiser. on the other hand. gives up toe
easily to the disgusted repetition of the
mistaken statement that there is nc
money In fowls on a village lot. He
over-estimates the same advantages
which the other uader-esfimates and
each sometimes envies the other. One
has better conditions for success in th<
advance work, the other better chances
for buying and selling, i may be; botl
can succeed brilliantly Il not too xaInt.

Trailing Things.

Many window gardeners eschew
climbers altogether. as they are not
easy to manage, especially if tall. But
no one can leave out the trailers with
out a falling short in the beauty of the
collection as a whole. 1t is the mission
of the trailer to supply the deficiencies
of all the other plants. To be both ex-
tremely beautiful and superlatively
useful is not given to many plants, but
the trailers can claim both these good
qualities. Fortunately. most of them
are also easy to obtain from seed. One
of the most free in bloom, the Torenia,
Is offered this year in new, large fiow-
ering variety, this making at least four
sorts. With many of these dropping
things, 1t is necessary only to drop a
few seeds on the bare surfaces of pots
carrying plants. Here they will come
on without further care other than stir
ring the soil after they attain some
size.

Hyrienic value of Currants.

There is one point about currants
that / want to mention. This is their
hygienic value. The red currant is
more valuable as yermifuge than all
the worm lozenges extant. If you
will let the little folks eat freely OF
ripe red or white currants. they will
not be troubled with worms. The
large cherry currants are very attrac-
tive and the red and white ones togeth-
er make a most charming dish for des-
sert or tea. Did you ever try serving
this fruit on stems with pulverized
sugar? 1t is very nice and some chill
dren will eat currants that way when
they would hardly take dish of them
and eat them with their bread and but
ter. Black currants are also valuable
from a medicinal point of view and if
one gets good favored black currant
they are very nice ! think, in certain
ways. Do try this year and have a
setting made of currants even if you
do have to neglect ironing your sheets
and few other things. Rose Seelye

An excellent insecticide is gasoline.
The housewife can easily rid her car
pets Of moths and 7eas by its use. For
such purpose take common watering
pot with fine rose, and having raised
the windows and opened the doors Of
the room SO the fumes may readily
pass out, for they are explosive, sprin-
kle copiously around the margin of the
carpets and then more lightly over the
whole. Every insect and every egg of
an insect that is touched will be de-
stroyed as if by fire.
In the garden it is no less useful.
Perhaps the best way to apply to
plants standing in the ground is with
a brush, an old paint brush answers
the purpose well. Take any convenient
dish or pot and fill two-thirds with wa
ter and the balance with gasoline. The
water will retard evaporation and as
sist in spreading the gasoline to every
infected portion when the brush is ap-
piled. Most kinds of scale are killed
effectually with one application.
For ridding plants in pots of insects,
fill a tub or other vessel nearly full
of water and pour little gasoline on
the surface, then dip the plant top
downwards, and at once withdraw.
every portion will be touched with the
gasoline, and it will do its perfect
work. | have not tried it on tender
plants, and should hesitate to do SO till
a trial should be first made on leaf
or two, as test.
j save my seed peas from the weevil
by first letting them get dry, when
they are put into a convenient dish,
covered with water into which has
been poured little gasoline, say cup
full to half a peck. The peas are then
thoroughly stirred for some minutes,
when they are drained off and put
away. A. second application is rarely
necessary. In this case the gasoline
has to penetrate the peas and kill the
eggs Of the weevil, and it does it most
effectually.-H. G. P. in American Gar
dening.

Marketing.


In home marketing success in gain.

ances Nice, clean crates, painted in
fancy colors; the best-looking basket
boxes, a sleek-looking horse, painted
buggy, and a man with neat appear
ance make so per cent. more customers,
and confidence in yourself; also en-
ables you to ask and receive the best
retail price of the market. Such a rig
costs something? Not necessarily!
Paint and varnish enough to make an
old delivery wagon look nearly new
don't cost much; your horse will keep
more easily if well groomed; neat
business suit will pay for itself in the
extra custom gained, and the highest
priced crates and boxes in home mar
ket are generally given back. The
boxes can be used for vegetable plants
the crate can have new coat of var
after they are too badly stained, and
nish or paint for use the next season.
For shipping, new and well-venti-
lated crates should be used, but, of
course, they will have to be of the
common, cheap grade unless arrange
ments can be made for their return.
