HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Rathbun Blackberry.

The Rathbun has already established
high reputation in the locality where
il originated, and has only TO become
generally known To supersede other
varieties. II is decidedly superior in
size, hardness and quality. A quart
box of Snyder and quart box OF Rath-
bun were each counted, and while il
took l64 berries TO fill the former, AS
berries of the Rathbun completely
filled the quart. The Rathbun under.
went temperature of 20 degrees be-
low zero, and produced very good
crop, while similarly situated plants OF
Erie and Minnewaski we're badly
frozen and unable TO produce any fruit.
The berries have very small seeds and
no hard core, in fact, no core is per-
ceived in eating them-all is sweet,
luscious and of high flavor. The
plant is strong, erect grower, makes
plenty OF fruiting wood, and, although
a true ckberry in all other respects,
it propogates very freely from the tips
of the shoots, like dewberry or a
black raspberry. We cannot too
strongly recommend this valuable new
variety.

Anne ndments to River and HarbOr Bill
Beaten.

The House devoted all of yesterday to
consideration of the river and horbor bill.
After The Stars report closed Mr.. Mondell
(Wyo) offered an amendment to appropriate
$50, 600 for constructing reservoirs in Wyo-
ming for the purpose Of holding back the
food waters Of the Missouri river. The
amendment also carried an authorization
for s165, 600 to complete the reservoirs. This
amendment was to be the entering wedge
of the advocates Of the irrigation of the
arid lands in the west.
Mr.. Burton promptly raised the point
that the amendemnt was not germane.
A long debate followed over the point Of
order the representatives from the arid re-
gions insisting that the river and harbor
committee had jurisdiction over the whole
subject.
Mr. Hopkins Qll.), who was in the chair,
ruled that the amendment was in order
The amendment lost, 37-95. Other
anne ndments Of similar character met a
like fate.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Bartholdt
to instruct the Mississippi river commission
to make an inquiry into the feasibility Of
the establishment Of system of reservoirs
in the st. Francis basin with a view to
cutting down the height Of the flood water
at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers was adopted. Mr.. Mondell then Of
fered an amendment to appropriate $4,000
for preliminary examination Of reservoir
sites in each of the arid and semi arid
states.
The amendment was lost without division.
Without completing the bill the House at
sos pm. adjourned.
