He also introduced a bill suggested by Judge Hanford regarding United States' Courts in Washington; also a bill for the pro motion of Lieutenant A. I!. Wyckofi to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. The Oregon delegation was very active in securing the extension of time for set tlers on the forfeited railroad lands until 1807.

Sen ator Dolnh had introduced and had re- xtrted from his Committee on Public ,ands a bill of a similar character, and so the parliamentary status of the meas ure gave him an opportunity to put it through without any delay. Settlers on these lands will be greatly liencllted bv the extension granted, especially during these hard times. I he bill for the admission of Utah war passed without division by the House at the conclusion of the debate. New lands of Nevada made his maiden speech in support of admission.

The majority roMrt on civil service for the present year is a document of alsmt 15,000 words. The most interesting por tion is that Is'iirinir on the extension of the classillcd service to free-delivery nost- otllccH, the subject on w ditch Commis sioner Johnston dissented and was ac cordingly removed by the President a short time ago. The' report condemns the removal of the salary list to a classi llcd service in custom-houses, and rocoiii- memls classification by grade, In sup port of this view the satisfactory results of classi llcat ion in tho railway mail serv ice are cited. The report says that in the uuclassiticd service, taken as a w hole, the government methods of the United States are so utterly indefensible (mm the standpoint ol decency and morality that it is diltlcult (or a man ol ordinary intelligence w ho w ishes w ell to his conn'- try to discuss the arguments advanced in their lavor with anything like toler ance.

It is probable the State Department will soon enter upon negotiations looking to the adjustment of our relation with China.

Chinese statesmen are said to regard with favor the extension of trade relation w ith the United States in preference to the government having a more aggressive policy. The coming no initiations will embrace a settlement of the question of Immigration, the treat ment of the Chinee already here or w ho niav hereafter come legally', and the pro tection of American ciiitou residing in China.

THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION. The best npws of the week in connec tion with the corning California Midwin ter International Exposition has been the extension of the time limit of excur sion tickets from the Last to thirty days. This means that those who go to Califor nia to see the Midwinter txposition will have a month in which to vUil other oarts of the State besides those contigu ous to San Francisco, and that the bene fits to be derived by the enti-e Pacific Coast will be correspondingly multiplied. And just here there ought to tie a word said about the number of visitors that may reasonably be expected to come out of the frozen ast to hibernate in the country " Where the never Udet In the stilt bloom And the Iwe banquets on through whole year oi uowerH. Those who have already arrived at San Francisco as the advance guard of the grand army of midwinter continent crofisers say that the influx of visitors will exceed the most sanguine expecta tions of the friends of tne exposition Fastern railway managers are constantly sending to the department of publicity and promotion for advertising matter in connection with the fair. Their patrons are hungry for information on the sub ject. Some of them are so hungry that more than one of the great trunk lines have deemed it necessary to prepare vast quantities of matter, based on the mate rial furnished by this department, with which to satisfy the popular demands. All this means that thousands of people in the Fast are going to take advantage of cheap rates and the special attractions of the exposition as an excuse for mak ing a long-promised trip to the " land of sunshine, fruit and flowers." Meanwhile the list of attractions con tinues to grow, and there will be lively times durini! the next three weeks, get ting all the concessions in readiness for the opening day. There is one feature o( the contemplated attractions, how ever, (or which no elaborate building has to be erected, and yet it is one in which a very wide-spread interest centers, and that is the grand athletic tournament. This to'irnament is to cover the entire term of the exposition. The contests vill pot be on pneh sneppedinu dav'n pro gramme, but there will lie several events each week, and every Saturday will be largely devoted to this feature. There will be games of lacrosse between Brit ish Columbian and American teams; there will be polo matches between swell society riders; there will be foot ball games between college ami univer sity teams; there will be races and all sorts of contests on the cindar path, and last, thouuh by no means least, a series of baseball games, in which the entire Pacific Coast is invited to take part. With a viejfv3Nii'i;:ilit.-tir.(r artange monts for '"? JTSieiitioned feature in this. con nectin Colonel T. P. Robinson x". in Fr.,l.',c'Ico has been selected to ar range the games on the diamond field, and in order to have the largest possible number of clubs participate that gentle man desires the addresses of every uni formed baseball club not only in the State of California, but in all the States of the Pacific Coast. These addresses should lie sent to him at Boom 32, second floor, Mills building, San Francisco, and based upon the number of addresses of intending participants which may be re ceived, there will be arranged such a baseball tournament as has never before been seen anywhere in the world. In the long list of other attractions it is dillicult to select one that iB worthy of more special mention than the rest, but perhaps the latest added features may lie the most interesting. The very latest and the most startling of all the sugges tions that have been forthcoming in the form of concessional features of the fair is that which is to represent " Dante's Inferno," and which has already begun to he spoken of aliout town as " hell on earth." This concession is to be located in a very prominent part of the exposi tion grounds, and the character of the entrance to the building containing the exhibit is one that will attract inevitable attention. A great dragon's head, 15 feet in height, with bat-like wings protruding trom either side, seems to crouch against the ground and grin a welcome to the passing crowds. The bat-like wings and entire front, in fact, are gilded to look like burnished gold, and when the sun is reflccctcd from it it presents as brilliant an exterior as one can easily mumine Out of the center of the lower part o( this tigure-head, so to speak, projects long red tongue of the dragon, and onto this those who care to venture in must step and walk between the teeth o( the dragon's lower jaw into the very body of the tieast. The interior arrangements of these internal regions are rendered remark ably effective by the highly colored sta lactites w Inch hang from the walls, and liirh setuu to extend for miles, almost, away in the distance. 11ns perspective is produced bv means of mirrors. There are mirrors on every hand, and never before has there been a bctterutilization of tho looking-glass for illusiomirv pur poses. Hidden lights are made use of to add to the ellects ol the scene, ami in tricacies of passage are also brought into play. In one large grotto a stage is erected, and halt a dozen skeletons, dancing gro tesquely in the foreground, are so re flected bv mirrors that their number seems to bo "legion." At another point after traversing several tortuous avenues the visitor conies upon a clever construe tiou of mirrors alxive and below and with lights so arranged that there really seems to he no top or 1mm torn to the place, and hence the name of the "Bottomless Pit." Only a little farther away the visitor comes to the " Fndloss Cave," produced in the same w ay and quite as interesting. As the visitor to this remarkable place progresses from point to point, he rises to a higher elevation, ami lv traversing an almost imperceptible grade ho finally tluds himselt on the shore of a great l ike, into which pours a fall of lava, and it is here perhaps that he get the liost idea of tin representation ot the "in fernal regions." The effect is produced, of course, by colored light playing upon the deoo'ations of the structure and by diver and sundry device for the en hancing of these effect. There is much ttiat is grotesque alsmt the dancing skel etons in the cave referred to, and there is considerable that is uncanny in every part of this arrangement, but there is nothing that is 'tisgusting and terrifying, though there is much to amuse. When people turn to cn out after having seen all the show they tind themselves con fronted by numberless passages which seem to lead everywhere, but which reallv lend nowhere, for when you start to follow one you run plump acninst a mirror, and the result is that befon i ou tind the way out you are fully con vinced that thiparticulartypeo( "hell" is a decidedly jolly place to le in. The fall is an excellent time for pur cha-ing pure-bred stock, as the price. rv then tower than at any other season, ior the reason thai the breeder are re ducing stock before winter set in ami are w illing to make a reduction in price A little linseed oil is healthful as nu tritiou (,vk!

Save the Liquid Manure by Using Some Absorbent Material for Bedding How to Feed. " Ventilation " does not mean drafts on the sto k. So chink up the cracks. When pruning remember a low, com pact, vigorous tree will give better re sults than a tall, e'tnder one. Many insects will be killed if land in fected with plant lice, cut worms, etc., is plowed before freezing weather sets in. There cannot be a thoroughly good farm unless there is a good water supply. If vour farm is wanting in this, spare no effort to correct it. The 1890 butter product in this coun try would require 1.000 freight trains of thirty cars each and each car carrying twenty tons to transport it. The money expended for pure-bred male animals is one of the beet invest ments that can be made, and gains com pound interest in a short time. Sow some clover seed in autumn on winter grain. This may do south of the latitude of Southern Kansas, but north of that line better wait until April. The modern fruit grower must con stantly use insecticides. Get all the in formation possible this winter so as to intelligently combat fruit pests nexteea son. One thousand Virginia farmeri within a radius of twenty miles of Norfolk are said to have shipped i 5,000,000 worth of early fruit and vegetables to Northern cities last spring. If you have au old lot or abandoned r ad which is to be cropped next season, plow it this fall so the frosts will have an opiortunity to mellow the ground. Plow again in the spring. Save the liquid manure by using some absorbent material for bedding which can be spread over the fields. Straw, sawdust, old hay, leaves, etc., are good and most of them obtainable in all places. . "ien grgen crdV are -plowed umier for the purpose of enriching the soil an application of lime w ill often be of the greatest benefit. It helps to correct the acidity of the soil that olten results from the too rapid fermentation of the green stuff. The fence law which works the great est good to the greatest number is that which compels a man to fence his own cattle in rather than to fence other peo ple's out. Where this is once tried it is not easy to persuade people to go back to the old way. A heavy clay soil will hold water like a basin, and no crop can do its best if the plants have wet feet. A subsoil plow that will break deeply without lilting the under soil will make the cropping of such land much more profitable than it bus been before. In order to be wholly successful a farmer should make his' plans a long time in advance of the dav wdien they must be put in operation. The best way is to mature a plan of operations that will require some vears for fully carrying out. This brings better results thnri the changeable way that some have of try ing one way this year and another the next. restoring land. A WTestern writer gives his experience in restoring land as follows : Four years ago I bought a piece of land that' had just raised its third crop of tobacco in line, which had just killed the soil. When I told old farmers what I was go ing to do they laughed at me; so 1 gave the soil a light coat of manure and sowed it to wheat. The next harvest I shocked it in rows, turned the stubble under with three horses on July 2, rolled and dragged the soil, and put on a light coat of ma nure again. On the 4th 1 planted from five to seven grains of corn in hills two feet apart in rows four feet wide ; plowed three times, and the horse could not get through any more. I cut it just at frost, laid it in bunches for two days, and then put it in shocks. Kesowed the land to wheat. Last harvest I cut my wheat as high as I could. Had a big yield. Put on Borne more manure; planted in corn the same way; only drilled the grain one foot apart. This year is still better, and several farmers that laughed at me now say it was the largest crop they ever saw grow out of the earth, and oiie of them has rented the ground for tobacco next year. I cut the roasting ears and fodder both together in a fodder cutter. Mv horses and cows won't eat anything else while it lasts, and it just pou'rs the nH'.k and butter. My motto is this : Plow deer) while imnomrds M.'ep: ( ou will hnvj corn to te.l and plenty to keep. WHAT AND HOW TO FEED. The daily feeding standard for milch cows of 1,000 poundB weight should con tain two and a half pounds of protein, four pounds of fats, twelve and a half pounds of sugar and starch and twentv totir pounds of dry matter.
