Has Reached an Ag raement.
Washington, July ls.-The indica
tions are that the tariff bill, as
agreed to by the republican conferees
probably will pass both houses of
congress and become law by the end
of the present week, although delays
and complications now unanticipated
might somewhat prolong the final
struggle An agreement has been
reached by the conference committees.
OF the items of particular interest to
the west hides, wool, beet sugar
and lead received favorable attention.
II is said the west is better taken care
care of than in any previous tariff.
Cyanide was protected at t121z per cent.
instead of % cents pound as pro.
vided by the house measure, which will
be of great benefit to western gold
miners.

Grass Seeding.-ln seeding land to
grass il would be much better If great
er variety of plants were grown. Some
kinds succeed better than others under
special conditions of soil, so that the
greater variety sown, the better the
land is likely to be covered, and the
larger The quantity of feed produced.
But the advantage of much greater pal
atablenrss of pasture or hay which con-
tains variety of grasses is even more
important. As an aid to make all hay
more eagerly eaten, some sweet-scent-
ed vernal grass seed ought always to
be sown. 1t will be eaten close to the
soil by every kind of stock, and when
left for hay the aroma from 1t will PEN
citrate the whole mass and increase its
feeding yalue.-Ex.

Mineral Manures on Clover.-There
is NO use of mineral manures that In
the long run pays so well as to make
them grow clover. Both potash and
phosphate of lime are required for the
clover plant Though it has the power
to take each of these from land where
they are too deficient for grain crops.
yet the clover is quite as much as the
grain benefited by having these min
erals offered in available form. We
never failed to get good clover catch
when seed was sown with grain that
had been phosphated. BY the use Of
the clover double benefit was secured
from the mineral fertilizer, as the clo-
yer itself supplies nitrogen by dissolv-
ing the air confined in the soil.-Ex.

week the attorneys representing Mrs.
Emma Fisher, administrators of the Ray

was complied WITH and the contents, con-
sisting of silver table service, souvenirs
and an endless array of trinkets, was
spread out on the clerks table and a
careful inventory taken by the attorneys.
