LATE LEGISLATIVE NEWS.

Montpelier, Thursday Evening.
Joint assemblies have been the rule
in the legislature today. In the morn
ing a Joint meeting was held to hear
the report of the canvassing commit
tee on the election of representatives
in Congress. The result was as CIV
en- in the Phoenix last week.
This afternoon the assembly was for
the unwilling exercises of the por-
trait of Gen. e. H. Liscum. The por-
trait was placed in the centre of Rep
resentatives' hall, draped with Unit
ed States flag, and was unveiled by
Gen. T. S. Peck of Burlington, long
time friend of Gen. Liscum. Ex-Gov.
Stickney presented the portrait, which
was accepted on the part of the state
by Gov. Mccullough. The address
was given by G. G. Benedict of Bur"
lington, who spoke feelingly OF the
career of Gen. Liscum. Mrs. Lis
cum, who lives at Elmira, N. Y, was
present. and occupied seat Of honor.
After the exercises the portrait was
hung in the lobby just outside the
hall.
Aside from the Joint assemblies, the
main interest of the day centred in
warm and protracted debate in the
House on the question Of the pas
sage Of the bill lowering the amount
for which trustee process may be
served from $40 to S.. Passage
of the bill was finally refused LA to
4s. Mr.. Lawrence Of Rutland City
asked leave to withdraw his weekly
payment bill, and gave notice OF the
introduction of a new bill, to be in
troduced a little later in the session.
Bills repeating the peddlers' license
law, providing fine for the presiding
officer at freemen's meetings VINO
counts votess before o'clock, and
abolishing the office OF judge advo-
cate general were killed.
Very little of Importance was done
in the Senate, as the members had to
take a recess to have their pictures
taken again, the attempt made yes
terday having been a failure. Sena-
tor Walbridge introduced bill amend
ing the statute relating to school at
tendance. A bill of much Importance
was introduced by Senator Royce.
This bill authorizes the Incorporation
of the Vermont Internal Improve
ment company, and gives the right to
build, buy or rent electric railways
and appurtenances in the city and
town of Rutland ana other towns In
the central part OF the state. The
purpose of the bill is to provide means
to connect Rutland and Montpelier by
electric railroad Well known New
York capitalists are supposed to be
back of the scheme.
Senator Spencer moved that House
Bill 81, relating to commitments to
the industrial school, which has passed
the House, be withdrawn from the gen.
eral committee and referred to the
judiciary committee. The House bill
relating to alterations and repairs on
the Windham county jail was refer

Legislative Notes.
The first bill signed by Gov. Nc
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-02

The claim that alfalfa will not thrive
on sandy soil is not borne out by ex-
pertinent. Col. B. w. Richards, secre-
tary Of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Com
pany, who has farm at Hammonton,
n. j., has grown alfalfa for several
years, and on plot consisting of white
sand The plot was seeded in August,
1893, and another later. AS many as
four or five cuttings are secured every
season, and from two to three tons of
hay per acre are cured Manure is
spread over the land every fall and
lime (mostly from burnt oyster Shells
Is broadcasted. The land has become
very productive, and more animals
were necessary in order to consume the
hay produced. The experiment IS
valuable one, as it demonstrates what
can be done with alfalfa on the lightest
kind of sand.-Philadelphia Record
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-02
The Strawberry Pests.

The most objection TO continuing to
keep the strawberry bed in one place
for several years Is not the exhaustion
Of the soil, because the fertility can be
applied. 1t Is not the mating of the
row, because after runners have put
out into the paths between them, 4
they are worked mellow and enriched,
the old row Of plants can be cut out,
leaving the path there, and the aew
plants can be thinned, If too abundant,
and the weeds can be taken our, but
insect pests are so numerous now that
1t may be easier to set n new bed than
to try to kill them. There are more
than dozen that are well known, and
the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer,
leaf rollers, cutworms and grubs are
probably those which do the most dam
age. Nearly every one of these can be
found in the soil as eggs, larvae or pupa
soon after the fruit is picked, and
when any of them have been especially
troublesome. we would advise the set
ting a new bed at some distance from
the old one, and blowing us the old
bed in August, which will destroy most
Of them. II any plants are taken from

then put them in hot grease and blanch

Take one ounce of butter, chop up a
few shallots and fry in the butter add
ing a few chopped mushrooms. Sea-
son with tomato PURGE, thickened with
bread crumbs, and put this filling into

Hay in Round Bales.


The cylindrical bale has become very
popular for hay and cotton, and many
shippers are discarding their old
presses to get one that will press 1t in
this form. The standard bale is eight
cen inches in diameter and thirty-six
inches long. The pressure used in
packing for home use puts about two
hundred pounds in such a bale, but
when intended for export they use
higher pressure and get in about 275
pounds. A bale put up for army use
is but half as long, or eighteen inches,
and weigs about 40 pounds. 1t is cal
culated that good pack horse or mule
will travel with one Of these on each
side, and they can go where the army
wagons could not. Thousands of tons
of these round bales have been shipped
to our army in the Philippines, and a
large amount to the British army in
South Africa. In this form a given
weight Of hay Is compressed into about
one-half the space that 1t occupied in
the square bale, and the fact that 1t
does not pack as closely in car or YES
sci, there being spaces between the
bales, which prevents moulding, pre-
serves the sweetness of the hay, and
the close pressure in the bale reduces
the combustibility. For cotton many Of
the same advantages are claimed for
the round bale, that is, getting more in
small space and reducing the danger
from f1re.-American Cultivator.
