is Of considerable Importance and may

however, will be bequeathed to the
next Legislature.
Unless there is a decided change in
the sentiment the present session viii
remain unbroken. The house is over
whelmingly against the plan Of the
governor; and the senate, while it has
never voted on the question, is much
Of the same opinion.
There are many members who be-
lieve the governor viii call a special
session although he has declared him
self opposed to it. In any event there
will be scores of bills which have not
been touched when the end of the
eession comes. When the house con-
venes Monday, there will remain only
26 more days ia which to work Com
mittees are buried in work that de-
mands almost constant attention. They
are working hours that would shock
the ordinary unionist. The senate con.
tinues to put in Saturday, while the
lhouse resigns that day entirely to its
committees.
No little pressure is being brought
to bear from the executive Offices on
| the representatives who helped kill
the resolutiGa that provided for an
Adjournment Of two weeks. The OBJ
lection of the Legislators is based
chiefly on the fact that their families
are located in the capital, where rents
are exhorbitant and quarters are un-
certain. They protest against either

Says the June Farm Journal:
 Cut clover hay when about half the blossoms are brown; cut timothy just as the bloom is fall- ing. Curing clover: Cut it as soon as tho dew is off in the morning. At noon shake out the punches, rake into windrows be- fore the evening dews get on it, and let it lie until next day. Next day shake out the hay as soon as the dew is off. You ought to be ready to haul, on a hot day by eleven o'clock, or certainly after dinner. It spells clover hay to get too dry. It should never be put into the barn when wet with rain or dew ; but little sap won't hurt it. Curing timothy: If the crop is not too heavy and rank, cut as soon as the Gew is off, let it cure a few hours, rake into windrows and haul to the barn the same day.
 If the crop is rank, cut it in the afternoon; it will wilt some during the night and dew will not hurt it. Next days sun will dry in a few hours, when it can be raked into windrows; haul 10 the barn in the early afternoon.
