DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS,
The Provision Retained in the Agri-

In the House of Representatives yester-

ton bill reached completion in committee
of the whole. The day was marked by the
annual fight over the question Of free seed
distribution to the farmers, but the effort
to strike out the appropriation S130,ooW
failed, as usual, the majority against it
being 1876. One of the important amend
ments adopted provided for the inspection
of horse meat for export purposes in the
same way that the meat of cattle and other
animals is now inspected.
There was a lively row over a motion to
print another edition of the horse book. -
TO cost $lu5.UD. Chairman Wadsworth and
members of the appropriations committee
resisted it, but it was carried over their
heads by narrow margin in committee of
the whole. In the House, however they
succeeded in carrying motion to adjourn,
which leaves the fate of the amendment
still in doubt.
