CURRENCY BILL PASSES.
Measure Is Forced Through Despite
Filibustering Tactics.

Washington correspondence
With the end of the most remarkable
flibuster in the history of the Senate
and the passage Of the Aldrich-Nrec-
land emergency currency bill by both
houses and the winding up of other
business, the Sixtieth Congress ad-
journed sine die at II 80 o'clock Sat
urday night.
At 4:3O o'clock the Senate adopted
the report of the conferees of the two
houses on the currency bill by the de
ciSive vote Of 43 to %, and thus was
taken the last congressional step neces-
sary toward the enactment OF emer-
gency currency legislation, toward
which Congress has directed its princi-
| pal effort since it convened last Decem-
| Der. The result came Unexpectedly
soon, but not until the Senate had been
well worn out by a flibuster which,,
while not largely supported, made up
in intensity what it lacked in numbers.
The obstructive tactics were begun by
Senator La Toilette U3epublican) Of
Wisconsin when the report was taken
up by the Senate, Friday, and being
prosecuted by him all Friday night,
was continued Saturday by Senator
Stone (Democrat) of Missouri and Sen
atcc Gore (Deluocrat) of Oklahoma.
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record as a
long distance speaker, talking eighteen
hours and forty-three minutes; Mr..
Stone held the floor for six hours and
a half, almost without interruption,
and Mr.. Gore spoke for something more
than two hours.
When Senator La Toilette ended his
record breaking speech at :O3 a. IN.
Saturday he was still in strong voice,
and said that he was "reluctant' to
yield the floor, but realized hat other
Senator's wished to speak.
Many of the Senators were routed
out of bed Friday night and early Sat
urday morning and brought into the
chamber to make a quorum. Among
these were Senators Stone and Gore,
the Senate leaders deciding that it
would not be good policy to allow them
to enjoy an uninterrupted nights rest
and be fresh for the task of c%ontinu-
ing the filibuster began by Mr.. La Fol-
lette. Many Of the Senators were
brought in partly dressed by the dep
uty sergeants-at-arms.
President Roosevelt was summoned
to the capitol to sign bills during the
last hours Of Congress at 9 o'clock. He
was waited upon by a committee COM
prising Representatives Payne, Hep
hurn and Williams and Senators Ha1a
and Teller. Shortly before 10 o'clock
he signed the compromise currency bill.
Previous to his signature of the cur
rency bill the President had handed it
to Secretary Cortelyou. who carefully
read its provisions. Two other mem
retaries Root and Garfield.

according to the size of the main tile.
The best time to build the box is when
the main is laid. Two sides of the
box, namely opposite sides, will be
used for the main line, the other two
sides when the box is built should be
fitted with the first tile of the laterals,
which may be Immediately or at some
subsequent time completed. This basin
or box should extend six to twelve
inches below the line of the drain, and
besides serving for connecting the
basin will serve for q sile basin. that
is. will collect any sediment which
may happen to get into the various
lines of tile discharging into it. Also,
the box may be continued to the
ground surface and be provided there
with a tight cover, or if it is no de-
sired to have a box exposed thus and
in the way, it may be covered with
plank about fifteen inches below the
ground surface and then covered over
with soil-the position of the box be-
ing carefully marked on the drain map
or it's distance measured from two
points near at hand. Such a basin is
an excellent device to use where two
or three lines of drain unite.
OF whatever material the box is
built, the tile on the foul sides should
be carefully fitted in so as to allow
nothing to enter the box except what
goes there through the tile.
If the main drain is to be built of
plank, it certainly would be better to
spike the plank, for two reasons: First,
to prevent displacement, and secondly,
to prevent entrance Of solid matter. 1t
has been found that the joints Of the
box will afford sufficient means Of in

a Few Farm TIPS,

Alfalfa or clover makes an excellent
pasture for hogs.
Keep the water s7rout growths rub
bed off the fruit trees.
Oats make one of the best horse feeds
grown on the farm.
Cow peas are to the South what
clover and alfalfa are to the North.
Angora goats have been found ey-
ceedingIy profitable OIL many fapns.
Bordeaux mixture is the Best all
around spraying material in exist
encc.
In renting land be sure to make n
contract with the tenant and then both
live up to it.
No one is quite 50 much out Of place
as the farmer who retires to a whit
tling place in town.
Al the corn growing land is taken.
Cheap corn land is no more The price
Of corn must stay up.
A farmers garden is not a joy for
ever to the grocer because it means
fewer sales of foodstuffs to him.
When a mare with Il colt has to be
worked it is the best plan to keep the
colt at the barn while she is in the
field.
Change pastures as often as possible,
especially with sheep, as they are apt
to become contaminated with some
disease.
The atmosphere contains in unlimit-
ed quantities me of the most essential
plant foods, itrogen, but the farmer
must grow = legumes before Ire eau

Every farmer has hundreds Of I'M.
seen laborers busy in his behalf. The
earth-wOrms, of which he takes SO lit.
tie thought, are Of untold benefit to
agriculture. They loosen and ventilate
the soil and by their digestive pro.
cesses aid in the formation of plant
food. They are continually digging
into the lower soil, which passes
through their bodies and is cast upon
the surface. 1t is said that the best
old pastures w their value to the
action of these unseen workers..
When the farmer boy hunts the
earth-worln TO bait his tishhook he may
not be aware that he is using the de
scenuants Of the first tillers Of the
soil but such is the fact. and they
continue at their lowly toll whether
maj wills or not.

Fruit and Truck Farms.
The man who has not capital TO pur-
chase a large farm must be satisfied
with small holdings, Ten acres in fruit

to be employed.
If the h~usbandman n realize as

supplies of fruit and vegetables. Small
farms are multiplying annually and
become profitable investments when
operated to truck gardening and fruit
growing. An acre of onions in aver
e seasons will return q gross income
of $500 to 500 and fruit will average
$3.50 to 5000 per acre. An acre of ap-
pie trees have sold as high as $1,000
on the trees, the purchaser furnishing

The land can be so operated as to
produce a crop of early peas and fol-
lowed by turnips or late cabbages.
Small farms are particularly adapted
to men in moderate circumstances and
who depend on their labor to support
their families. The small farm not

Strong chemical fertilizers should
not be given too lavishly to growing
plants. Nitrate of soda is good as ii
source of nitrogen, but you can not
grow a plant in pure nitrate of soda,
acid phosphate and other actual food
substitutes not even if they are mixed
with the most consummate skill. Look
at a clay soil it is generally regarded
as a pretty poor one for growing plants,
but it has more actual units of food
in it than any other sort of soil you
can take, and it is improved by throw
ing in the solid grit of sand or the
rubbish of ashes from the furnace.
