t. debate extending over two days,
defeated the joint resolution propos-
tho 4 constitutional amendment en-
covering congress to regulate trusts.

constitution TO adopt an amendment
~ the constitution. The vote, there
fore was 3S short of the requisite two
thlrds-192. Five Democrats, Messrs.
Campball of Montana, happen of
Massachusetts, Scudder Of New York,
cibley of Pennsylvania and Thayer Of
Massachusetts,. and one Silverite, Mr..
Newlands of Nevada, voted with the
Republ'canS for the resolution, and
two Republicans, Messrs. Loud Of
California and Mccall of Massachu-
setts with the Democrats. These were
the only breaks from party lines. The
Populsts voted solidly against the res
olution. The debate preceding the
vote had strong political flavor
throughout and was at times very
PERSONAL. The features were the clos
inc speeches OF Mr. De Almond of Mis-
souri, and Mr.. Littlefield Of Maine for
their respective sides. and the short
speech Of Mr.. Mccall Of Massachu-
sets against the resolution.
The Senate.

caustic and as warm as the weather

asking that the government provide
some relief for the starving people Of
India. Mr. Hale, with this as text.

In South Africa instead OF caring for

charged Mr.. Hale with making politi-
cal speeches on irrelevant matters,
and little later when Mr.. Hale re-

Look to the Varieties.

Too little attention Is paid by most
OF our cultivators to the varieties OF
grain or other things they grow. They
get hold Of n or two varieties that
seem to satisfy them and look no fur
Their. Yet In the varieties there are
great differences OF yields per acre.
The farmer should give more attention
to this matter. We might take as an
illustration the experience Of the Kan
corn. For seven years they had grown
the red Kafr corn and liked It. 1t gave
a good crop each year. On the eighth.
ninth and tenth years they. however.
grew by the side OF the red the black
hulled white. In 1896 the yield OF red
was Al bushels to the acre, and OF the
black-hulled white 4S bushels. and in
1897 the yields were the same. In
1898 red yielded 20 bushels and the
black-hulled white 33 bushels. As q
result OF these figures the college set
tied down to growing the black-hulled
white. II was the wise thing to do.
But would they ever have done 1t II
they had not grown both varieties side
by side and discovered the advantage
Of the m over the other? What is
true In this case Is true OF all farm
crops. We should grow only the most
productive varieties. and that can be
ascertained only by growing plats Of
several varieties OF a kind. Thus. II
a man Is growing wheat. let him select
a number OF varieties that have done
the best at our experiment stations
and grow them In plats for years. In
the meantime he "A be growing the
one that he believes to be most pro-
ductive. The same applies to all other
crops.

Good grades are much more reliable
breeders than are crosses ana are to
be preferred. The native stock has the
vigor of constitution, which IL always
necessary, and has no inherited pre-
potency to develop In any certain
direction. When mated with a pure
blood, the result Is usually an animal
with the vigor OF the native ancestor
and the characteristics OF the pure
blood parent shown in It's better form
and fattening qualities. Succeeding
crosses In the same direction strength

The great objection to grading up"
in his way Is the fact that, no matter
how fine specimens the animals may
be, they can never be sold M pure
bloods. and an animal which Is a grade
Will never sell for breeding at as high
a price as will n which is of pure
blood and entitled to registration. The
man who intends to follow hog raising
as a business. even IL he Toes not keep
more than a dozen animals, will find
IL both profitable and economical to
buy a pair OF pure-bloods, and then
make his entire drove pure-bloods as
soon as he can raise enough desirable
animals. BY buying a young boar and
a SOW already In pig by a boar not re-
lated to the one purchased, the boar
can be used on the offspring OF the.
pure-blood SOW rs well "a upon the
grades or natives in the herd. and in
this way the p%ure-bloods can be in
creased so rapidly that there will 500
DO no need to keep the grades. The
hog raiser should certainly use a pure
blood boar, and 1t will usually pay to
buy II new one each year. so that in
breeding may be avoided. Pure-blood
hogs are not necessarily expensive.
they pay best In the end, and 30 are
more profitable than either crosses or
grades. Good animals, though not the
best, of any OF the standard breeds can
be purchased for from So to $40 each
when weaned. while young sows In
pig can be bought for from $40 to 500.
or course older animals which show
specially fine qualities will cost more.
and their better qualities will often
make them the more profitable In the
end. Breeders who have established
regulations as producers of exception
ally fine animals usually receive much
higher prices than those named above.

a Third Eye.

In ancient times a short-sighted SOL
der or hunter was almost an impos-
sibility; today a whole nation Is at
fiicted with defective vision. II Is al
most certain that man once possessed
a third eye, by means Of which he was
enabled to see above his head. The
human eyes formerly regarded the
world from the two sides Of the head.
They are even now gradually shifting
to a more forward position. In the
dim past the ear flap was of great
service in ascertaining the direction OF
sounds, and operated largely in the
play of the features. But the muscles
Of the ear have fallen into disuse. for
the fear of surprise by enemies 10
longer exists. Again, our sense OF
smell Is markedly inferior to that OF
savages. That 1t Is still decreasing
is evidenced by observations of the
olfactory organs. But the nos still
indicates a tendency to become NOR
prominent.

Growing Pom Corn.

The demand for pop corn increases
every year, yet the crop Is never equal
to the market. says Joel Shoemaker IN
Indiana Farmer. Farmers do not con-
slider the profits OF this special crop
or there would be more grown for sup
plying home demands. Pop corn re-
quires about the same soil as that de-
manded by the sweet and field vari-
cites. A sod or vegetable mould. con-
tanning more sand than clay and hav-
ing previous clean culture Is best
adapted to corn growing. II plowed In
the fall or winter and left to freeze
until the spring weeds begin to grow
before planting, the land will be In fine
condition. This crop wants plant food
like all others. but can get along with
little nitrogen. An average fertilizer
might contain about 8 per cent each
OF phosphoric acid and potash and per-
haps ~ per cent to 2 per cent nitro
gen; from 400 to 600 pounds per acre
would be considered a fair application.
Another popular fertilizer for corn Is
a mixture of about $50 pounds OF fine
biouhu bohV ~ wv pcuhoo ""'
OF potash per acre broadcasted and well
mixed with the soil before planting
time.
Pop corr may be planted closer than
any other varieties. His plan OF plant
ing Is to make the burrows three feet
apart and have the corn stand one
stalk in a hill, IA inches apart In the
rows. II the corn is planted very early
or late It will not suffer 30 much from
the worms as the medium planted
crops. Where irrigated, care must be
taken in keeping the water from the
stalks and not give the plants more
than two periods Of irrigating during
the growing season. The poor ears can
be fed to poultry with profit and the
fodder Is relished by the cows. sheep
and horses.
