AggressiOns by the Senate.
Louisville courier-Journal.

The house is complaining of the extent to
which the senate asserts itself in revenue leEis-
lation. There is some basis. in fact. for such
complaints. BY making new revenue bills
light. under the guise of amendments. the
selate verbally nulli1es That provision of the
constitution which requires such bills to origi-
nate in the house. But how can IL be other
wise when the house persists in sending to
the senate bills that have not received ade
quate consideration and which do not COM
mand the unqualified assent of a majority?

A Good Seed Bed.

The Importance Of having land made
we'll pulverized and mellow before
seeds are sown or planted in it is not
all in the fact that the roots penetrate
1t better when so than when 1t Is in
coarse Jumps, and thus find more cas-
fly the plant food that is in it, though
this is an important consideration, but
It is true that the seed terminates more
rapidly after two or three days, and
with some varieties a week, before it
comes up in soil that is but half work
ed, in which, by the way, much seed
may fail to terminate at all. The soil
that Is fine and mellow fits closely
around the seed and gives supply Of
moisture to all parts alike. 1t excludes
the drying air, and yet it is more even
ly warmed by bright sun, which helps
to draw up moisture from below by
capillary attraction. An extra day
spent in putting a field in good condi-
ton before the seed Is put In will not
only hasten the growth and maturity
of the crop, but will increase it's
amount.-Exchange.

Cuts OF Son with One Do11ar-Fire in
Milwaukee = Steamer Finds Bottom
of Mississippi-A Lamp Explosion
Threatens Destruction.

The matter of the contested will of the
late John d. James of Waukesha has at
last been settled by compromise. The
division of property by the deceased was
a most peculiar one, and his four sons all
received different amounts which were
so proportional as to need q mathema-
dclan to find the real value of them. One
thing was discovered after some exam
ination of the document however, and
this was that one of the sons, Samuel
James, received only 81 according to the
terms Of the will, and he Immediately
commenced an action contesting the pro-
batting of it on the ground that the pro-
bate court had no jurisdiction inasmuch
as John James died in Wales, q. b.
The case was brought into court, the ar
guments were heard, and the judge took
it under advisement Before he had an
opportunity to render a decision, how
ever, the plaintiff filed stipulations asking
to have the case withdrawn, and this
was done. The defendants had agreed to
allow their brother $500 of the estate.
and Samuel James considered that this
was worth as much as his chances to
win the case. Mrs. John James, the
widow, is allowed 5000 annually, accord
ing to her husbands will.

Handy New Barrel.

For farmers who preserve and ex-
port fruit, as well as for growers, but
ter merchants, sea captains and many
others, new barrel has much interest.
In order to ascertain the condition Of
fruit or provisions which are stored in
an ordinary barrel man must either
empty the barrel or, at any rate, re-
move the greater portion Of its con-
tents. If he uses this new barrel, how
ever, all this trouble will be unneces-
sary, since one Of it's slaves is NOV
able and whenever he desires to inspect
the contents Of the barrel all he need
do is to move this stave to one side.
After he has satisfied himself that
the contents are In good condition he
can replace the stave, and 1t will be
held firmly in proper position by the
hoops.
Another advantage is that in this
way fresh air can at any time be adj
mitted to all parts Of the barrel, and

A desire is sometimes expressed by
poultry keepers for box for fumigat-

houses have such in stock and one is
shown herewith. The essentials are a
tight box with a hole SO arranged that
the birds head is outside the box. The
space around the birds neck must be
packed to prevent escape Of smoke.

to keep the fowl steady. The tobacco

Storm Deyastates Wide Area,

A severe wind and rain storm, preced-
ed by hot wave, was general within a
radius of 100 miles of Milwaukee the
other day. At La Crosse it reached the
proportions of tornado. Several build
ings were unroofed, and for two blocks
On Main street every sign, street show
case and many awnings were torn off.
In southern La Crosse small buildings
were unroofed and large trees uprooted
and several streets were so filled with
debris as to be impossible. A number
Of persons were hurt, but none, it is
thought, fatally. At Fox Lake a tornado
swept a 100-yard swath through the
town, unrooing Fred Wisher's house and
blowing down sheds, windmills and trees.
The wind picked Henry Mathews off his
feet and carried him a rod through the
air. Racine reports a deluge of rain and
the destruction of hundred trees.

Growing Beans.

Neither the gardens nor field beans
need a very strong heavy soil. They
do better on a light loan, rather sandy
than clayey. 1t is warmer than the
clay or muck soil, and thus admits Of
being planted earlier, and the bean Is
almost tropical in it's liking for hot
weather and warm land. If the soil
is made too rich the vines may grow
so rank as to shade the ground, keep
ing it cold, which results in less beans,
and there is more tendency to spot or
rust on a damp, cold soil. Barnyard
manure is better than that from the
horse stables, as the bean needs but
little nitrogen. Like clover, it gath
ers nitrogen by means Of the nodules
on it's roots. The manure should be
we'll rooted, and fresh manure should
never be used.-American Culttvator

$4,000 Fire at Milwaukee,

Fire in the Miller block, corner of
Broadway and Wisconsin streets, Mil
waukee, caused a loss of about $50, 900.
The building is in the center of the re-
tail district, and Chief Foley sent in
three alarms in quick succession. The
new Wells building, adjoining, assisted
the firemen materially, because of the
two stand pipes above the roof of the
Miller building, the flames not reaching
the portions Of the building below the
third story. The Spencerian Business
College and the Wright Drug Company
will be the heaviest losers, the former by
fire and the latter by water.

Tnexnensive Corn Marker.

Many of the expensive corn markers

give up using them and go back to the
old methods. The one shown in the
illustration Is so simple and SO inexpen-

a considerable area to put into corn
will find it we'll worth having.
The construction can be readily seen
from the cut, and by following the di-
mansions given one ought to expert

below will find ready approval among
those whose duty it is to care for these
animals. All that it is necessary to do
with this apparatus is to attach one
end to fence, hang the pail in the cen
ter and attach the calf to the outer end
for few feelings, and after that he
will see to the attaching himself, as far
as his end is concerned. 1t is not nat
ural for a calf to drink at the age they
are usually compelled to begin, and one
of the results is that when the animal
does learn to drink, it swallows the
milk so rapidly that an attack Of In
digestion is sure to follow.

few years ago a nei9hbor complained
to US that his cows were not giving
their usual amount of milk, and were
growing lean, and some of them were
securing badly. The ration he was feed
ing seemed to be in the right proper
lions, and his ensilage was good. After
examining all else, we asked to see the
shorts, which he fed quite literally.
We saw it, we smelled of it, and then
we tasted of it. Although it looked
and smelled all right, the taste was
enough to reveal that it was as sour
as any pickle. All the good qualities
had been destroyed by overheating
when damp, and while the regrinding
had reduced the caked Jumps and TAX
en- away the sour smell, it had not re-
stored the feeding value And Of that
it probably never had any more than
coarse bran and the sweepings Of the
mill that might have been added to it.
