Memory of Departed.
Washington, Dec 2-The scenes on
the floor were OF interest In the ex-
treme. Such veterans as John Dal-
zell, William Hepburn, James s. Sher-
man and j. A. Tawney, congregated
In little groups to exchange greetings.
Speaker Cannon held an informal re-
ception in his private room, repub-
ncans and democrats calling to pay
their respect. Among these were
Representative and Senator-elect John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, who
often has been referred to as the as
sociate speaker Of the house. There
was an absence Of any floral tributes
on the floor, a rule Of the house
adopted at the last congress forbid
ding such tokens of remembrance.
The new members arrived early and
at once set about making acquaint-
ances. The absence Of old war
horses, such as General Charles Gros-
yenor and Representative Babcock,
who went down to defeat in the last
election, was commented upon and
their familiar figures were distinctly
missing. Representative Burton of
Ohio, who was defeated for the may
orally Of Cleveland, was surrounded
by a group Of admirers.
Selecting Seats.
The drawing Of seats then began,
the house by unanimous consent al
lowing Messrs. Bingham (Pennsylva-
nia), Payne (New York;, Keifer
(ohio), Williams (Mississippi), and
Sherwood (Ohio), to select their own
seats.
The body OF the house was the "a
vorite location Of members, the first
row Of seats not being in favor. Mr..
Longworth, when his name was
called, selected a seat beside Mr..
HUFF, the millionaire coal operator of
Pennsylvania. The name Of Champ
Clark (Missouri) was applauded. He
sat down in the best place in sight.
As the house filled up and the re-
publican side offered no more places,
members OF the majority were
obliged to go over on the Cherokee
strip" as the row Of seats under the
gallery on the extreme right Of the
speaker is called.
The selection Of seats being COM
pleted, Mr.. Underwood announced the
deaths Of Senators Morgan and Pet
tus and resolutions Of respect to their
memory were adopted.
Mr.. Jones (virginia) announced the
death Of Representative slemp, and
Mr.. Rodenburg (Illinois) that OF
George Smith.
Then the house, out Of respect for
the memory OF representatives who
had died during the recess Of con-
gress. adjourned until noon tomorrow.

Washington, Dec. Both defense
and the prosecution made their clos
ing arguments today before the jury
in the trial Of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley,
charged with the murder Of former
Senator Brown Of Utah at a local hotel
last winter.
Judge Powers Of Salt Lake, senior
counsel, and Attorney Hoover for the
defense occupied the morning session,
District Attorney Baker following
during the afternoon. His argument
was extended nearly two hours after
which the court was prepared to de-
liver the charge and hand their case
to the jury.
The defense laid special stress
upon the evidence regarding insanity
and contended that it was former Sen
ator Brown and not Mrs. Bradley who
importuned for the illicit relations;
that it was not case of breaking up
of a home, but that with Mrs. Bradley
it was an attempt to secure name
for her children.
Mr.. Baker, for the prosecution, after
declaring that the case was the old
story of hoMe ebreaking and destroyed
hope, made the point that the crime
was conceived at Salt Lake City. Mrs.
Bradley, he said, called at the Ebbitt
house in this city for her mail, which
showed she had left directions to
have her mail forwarded from Salt
Lake, and therefore she purposed COM
ing here when she made the trip
from Salt Lake to Ogden. He said
the revolver she carried to Browns
hotel room here just before the trag-
edy was meant FOR Brown.
The Defense Replies.
Mr.. Baker closed at 3:14 p. m.
There was an intermission of five min
utes. Then, by permission Of the
court, Attorney Hoover for the de-
fense, replied to the new point re-
garding the forwarding OF Mrs. Brad
ley's mail to this city.
Mr.. Hoover read from the testimony
to show that Mrs. Bradley, on the
eventful trip she made from Salt
Lake City en route to Los Angeles,
stopped OFF at Ogden and telephoned
her sister at Salt Lake she had
changed her mind and was going to
Washington. Mr.. Hoover said the ev-
idence showed that when she left
Salt Lake she had no intention Of 60
ing to Washington.
AT $3.50 p. m. Justice Stafford began
his charge to the jury. He pointed
out the circumstances governing the
defendant and verdicts which might
be rendered. He asked the jury to
first look at the case outside OF the
question Of sanity. He said the jury
should determine whether she said
intelligently and understandingly that
she shot him and whether she actual
ly said she was justified In 80 doing
insofar as any one could be justified.
The jury Is to consider the evil
dence she give in the hearing and
whether she fred the shots, and
whether she in fact shot Brown and
death resulted therefrom, how she
came to do the shooting and how It
was done. He said there had been
no argument that she Aired the shot

Sowing Crimson and Other

The high price of cowpeas this
year will cause farmers to use
substitutes for this crop, where
yer it is practicable. For SOW
Ing in corn, cotton or other cul-
tivated crops, at the last working.
crimson clover is unquestionably
the best that can be used. Salts
factory stands are nearly always
secured, sown in this way. Grim
son clover, and, in fact all clovers
and grasses, will do much better
when sown on a firm seed bed
and the preparation and cultiva-
ton of corn seems to give ideal
conditions of preparation tor this
crop. We would also recon-
mend the seeding of other clovers
at the last working Of corn and
other cultivated crops, as results
the past two or three years have
been satisfactory, when sown at
that time. 1t is also very desir-
able, in view Of labor conditions,
to get as much land as possible
into crops that do not require
annual cultivation or preparation.
Putting the land down in Red,
Alsike and Mammoth clovers will
secure crops that will yield pro-
titable returns for at least two or
three years, and at the same
time improve 10th the condition
and productiveness Of the fields
wherever they are sown. 1t is
becoming very general custom
to SOW mixed clovers, and mixing
of Alsike with the Red or the
Mammoth clover seems to give
particularly satisfactory results.

Shallow Corn Culture Again
Progressive Farmer.

The writer has been much in.
terested in your articles on the
cultivation of corn, and the il
lustration of corn plant in The
Progressive Farmer of the 9Th
inst ant is particularly Of interest,
as it might we'll pass for a photo
graph of a plant taken up by
Mr.. Geo. Watt, the founder of
this business, on his farm twen-
ty-five or thirty years ago, and
kept on exhibition for a long
time in our store to show the
growth of roots and the injury
resulting from too deep cultiva
tion.
His practice was to plow deep
and put his land in the finest
condition Of filth before a seed
was put in it. If weeds appear
ed before the corn, Or if a crust
formed, he would run a harrow
(weeders were not at that time
in use) over the field. When
the corn was small, his practice
was 10 run one of his one-horse
plows with the smallest mold
board on it, blowing with the
land side of the pillow to the row,
running as close and as deep as
possible before the lateral roots
had grown. This mold board al
lowed about two-thirds of the
earth to fall back into the fur
row, leaving a pulverized soil
for the roots to penetrate easily.
The next working was with the
same mo]d-board running this
time with the mold-board side of
the plow to the row, just outside
of the last working. Very lit
tie earth thrown, but enough to
fill the furrow left by the first
working. Thereafter he was care
tul to plow not near enough or
deep to disturb the growing roots.
This left the land level and be.
ing in fine condition, the roots
easily penetrated it, and were
not disturbed by the process of
cultivation. AS a result his corn
crop never failed, and yielded
good returns.

Dairy Notes.

Rich milk is lighter in weight
than poor milk.
One of the essential things in
getting clean milk is to milk
clean cows with clean hands.
The test of the churn will
show the quality of the milk and
the value of the COWS.
1t is not the breed nor the
pedigree, but the cow that must
eat the feed and give the milk.
Too mach salt can be ground
into butter by mechanical force,
but it will not absorb any more
than it needs.
If the dry cows are we'll fed
they will drop better and strong.
er calves, and both calf and cow
will do much better.
The dairy cow should be one
that will convert feed into milk
and butter, and that will not get
overfat because you feed her
well.
Warm cream and rapid churn-
ing mean a large amount of but
ter lost in the buttermilk as well
as soft butter, which is hard to
handle after it cures.
Profits in dairying depend very
largely upon the ability of the
farm and the farmer TO produce
what is needed by the cows right
on the farm.
With the cow clean at milking
time, the mixer clean and clean
pals and other tinware, the pro
blem of keeping and delivering
sweet cream is we'll in hand.
If the cream foams in the
churn it is too cold, if too warm
it cures too soon, and there is a
loss of butter in the buttermilk.
A failure to feed dairy COW
sufficient toosupply her natural
demands and enough to admit OF
her making good quantity of
milk even for one time is an op-
portunity lost forever
II a cow has any defect in her
udder the same defect is very
often manifest in her heifer
calves, and it is rarely best to
raise her calves for the dairy.
1t is not always the cow will
make the most butter in a week
that is best, but the one that will
make the most in year with
the least feed.
1t is claimed that if the cream
is churned when sweet consider
able butter will be lost in the
buttermilk, and the butter will
lack flavor, no matter what the
cows are fed
