crop four good horse civilizations. The

Growing Seeds by Contract.

1t is a great convenience to young
farmers who have too little capital to
make a contract with some scotsman
to grow part Of the crop of seeds or
potatoes that he requires for his GUS
toners. There are few seedsmen who
have the land to spare to grow all the
seeds they require. At the same time
they cannot purchase seeds in the open
market that they know will be pure
and without admixture of other varie-
ties. Hence they are glad to furnish
seed for planting or sowing to some
one who will keep it free from mixing
with other kinds. And for this trouble
they can and do pay more than the
average market prices.

A Good Farm Crop,

Barley must be gotten in early. A

will grow a fine crop of barley. we'll
worked clay loan will also produce
heavy crops, and in some years extra
ordinary crops. The ground for this
crop should be manured the year be-
fore. Potato ground or beet land will
grow excellent crops. The best grow
ers plow their land in the fall, and
early In April, when the ground is fit
to work. harrow the land both ways,
and then drill in two bushels of seed
and two hundred pounds of fertilizer
to the acre. The fertilizer gives the
seed good start. The grain ripens
earlier and has brighter color. After
the crop is about two inches high, it
should be rolled. The rolling should
be done when the soil is dry. Glover
seed may be sown with barley. If the
ground Is In fine tilth and rich six
quarts of clover will give a thick set.
One of the advantages of this crop Is
that it takes but four months TO grow
the crop, and, If the grain is high, it
can be sold, and, If low, 1t makes an ex-
cellent feed for all kinds of stock, espe-
cially for pigs. Barley ripening early,
the land, If not seeded to clover, should
be narrowed over with the disc harrow,
first one way and then across the field,
and prepared for wheat.

KaMr Corn.

Another years experience with this
dry-weather crop has justified the
claims Of its friends and put to flight
its enemies. All over that section of
the United States west of the Missis-
sippi River, where Indian corn fails
occasionally, kaffir corn was more
largely grown than ever before during
the season of 1896. The yield was
larger than ever, and as farmers be-
come more and more familiar with cul-
tivating and handling the crop the
early objections gradually disappear.
Of course, last season was not marked
by drouth except in limited areas, but
in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and par
ticularly Oklahoma, dry weather did
some damage to Indian corn, but failed
to hurt the kaffir. There Is some OBJ
lection on the score of difficulty In cur
ing when 1t is cut as hay, or put into
shocks, as is Indian corn. AS rule, in
the sections where 1t Is most largely
grown, rains are not at all frequent
during harvest time, and In addition
the atmosphere has peculiar drying
properties, so that experienced grow
ers find nothing to complain Of The
stalks make high grade of forage,
and the grain, when ground, Is excel
lent for stock feed, and In a number
of cases kaftir meal has been made
i1to acceptable bread. Broadcasted
fields are cut and harvested as hay,
but where the corn is planted in rows
1t is usually cut and shocked, remain
after which 1t Is stacked. The ground
is prepared as for an ordinary crop of
corn. Drill in the seed so that there
will be stalk about every six or ten

The Reliable Hen.

The incubator business is taking on as
founding proportions. This is true in the
use of incubators, as well as in the manufac-
ture of these machines. The latter business
could not have attained its present dimen-
si0ns had it not been for the success of the
machines in actual practice all over the
country. There has been too much success
in the use of incubators, and too much money
made by this process to claim at this late
day that the most improved incubators are
anything but successful and profitable when
correctly managed. We are led to these re-
Elections by receiving the superb 169-page
catalogue ofthe Reliable Incubator & Brooder
Co., Quincy, III. Their machine is one of
the most popular and most largely used. 1t
is made in a careful and workmanlike man
ner and Of the very best materials Too
much cannot he said in favor of the Reliable
regulator. The regulator is as near perfect
as it is possible to attain. One of the strong
points of this machine is that they are thor
oughly tested in constant practice on the
large poultry farms conducted by this con-
Germ. The methods followed at these and
other successful poultry establishments, to-
gether with full directions concerning the
management of incubators and the poultry

NOTES OF THE CONGRESS.

The New York Chapter has made splendid
record for itself in establishing Il chair of
American history at Barnard College, New
York City. Barnard is woman's college con
nected with Columbia. the old Kings College
of Revolutionary days.
Mr.. Spencer. the Senate parliamentarian,
helped Mrs. Stevenson and the Daughters
through their parliamentary difficulties and the
meetings passed Off quite smoothly. although
the delegates occasionally had to improve on
Roberts's rules.
The plan to unite The Daughters of the
American Revolution and "The Daughters OF
the Revolution " failed dismally. The trouble
was in the beginning, when the first society ad
mitted collateral ancestry and the other did
not. Later the OAR. found that they also
could only admit iincal descendants. SO really
the two societies are in harmony. There is a
continued effort to reconcile the two societies,
but the OAR. carry things with higl, hand,
aud union aud peace seem to be as far off az
ever.
The OAR. reports membership of is. 900.
To belong to it, one needs only to have had an
ancestor who helped the Revolutionary cause.
It's surprising. bnt true. that there are 55
! "rcnl" daughters Of the Revolution women
whose fathers fought with Washingto 3 troops

Report of the House of Representatives
Committee.

Report of tile House of Representatives
Committee.
The report Of the House Special Committee
to investigate the management Of the Leaven-
Grout Feb "a. 1t recommended the removal
of the Governor of tho Home and the change
of all officers; also, that control of all branches
in the Home should be vested directly in the
Secretary of War, and that the post funds be
placed under Government control.
The passage of a bill is recommended provid-
ing that condition of entrance to Soldiers
Home shall be that pensioners pay into the
Home funds all their pension bat $4 month,
but out of the fund so collected the family of
the pensioncr, if lie shall have one. shall be
maintained. A provision that outdoor relief
may be given for one year, and shall not ex-
ceed the cost of maintenance in Home, is also
recommended No recommendation is made in
regard to the sale of beer on the grounds of Sol
diers' Homes.
The report reviews the testimony taken by
the committee in regard to charges Of mis-
appropriation of funds and property, the
Kelley cure and charges of drunkenness
brought against Gen. Smith. In regard to the
sale of beer on the grounds the report says:
"There seems to be a glaring Inconsistency
that the sale of beer and the administration of
the Kelley euro should both be found running
in the same Government institution, and both
at profit and under the authority of the Gov
ernment."
SOME FACTS ABOUT GOV. SMITH.
These views are. however those of but part
of the committee. The other members of the
committee believe that thugs should be left in
their present condition. The committee do
not find tho charges of drunkenness against
Gem Smith established by the full measure OF
proof called for on complaints of this character.
He was also charged with using his position as
Governor for his own personal profit and ben.
eft in q transaction with Knapp & Bolman
merchants in Leavenworth. As to Knapp &
Bolman, the committee think the charges not
proven, but it was found that while two persons
were paid from Government funds they were
really in Gen. Smiths service. A pair of fine
horses is also mentioned as having been bought
by Smith from the general fund without con.
sultation with proper officials. These horses
were used almost entirely by the Governor.
1t is true says the report. that the Governor
receives a salary of $1,000 from the Kelley
League, which the committee consider a mis-
take and detriment to good order The Gov.
ernor they also find to be a man of uneven
temper and not we'll fitted to manage such
Home, and therefore recommend his dismissa
and the appointment OF an even-tempered
practical man. All the troubles at the Home
however. says the report, were not due to Gen
Smith, but other persons there had part il
| creating them. The Treasurer, Mr.. Shockley
is mentioned as being incapable of properly
performing his duties, and the appointment o
another person in his place is recommended.
