V ■ m i w«r to Plow . Measure off a head and on each end end o f the Bold say as wide as the length o f team and plow. Commence plowing at one side o f the field one-half land _from the fence, plowing buck and forth,v turning to the right and sliding plow on head land. When first land la done; measure off another land, ■kip It, go on and plow third land same as first, then plow second land turning to left. The object is plowing the third lnnd before second Is to avoid having so many center ridges and dead furrows, as you would If you took every land as It came. Keep on In this way until you get to the other side o f the field, then plow head lands and you have the field nicely plowed without turning square corners, tramping horses heels, lifting plow or tramping plowed ground.

In the circum stances, I prefer to do at this moment, : above all other things. O f course, ! then, I enjoy it!'

Miss Adalbert had Just returned from a vacation apent at a tiny village on the Maine coast. In recounting her experiences she talked somewhat for the benefit o f a cousin, a quiet person, who waa visiting her city relatives for the first time In many years. “ There was Just one store In the place,” said Miss Adalbert, “ and they kept everything, that Is, everything they had to keep. “ One day I went In to buy some soap, and Just on a venture I asked the clerk If they bad Browning. He stared at me a second, then went off and looked under the counters and on the ■helves. “ t'resently he came back and said, ‘ No, miss, we ain't got none. W e got blacking, an’ we got bluing, an’ w e got whiting, but we ain't got s bit o' browning In the store.’ ” Miss Adelbert had to make several protests to assure her audience that this really happened. Finally the cous in asked, gravely, “ But, Cousin Bert, why didn't you say varnish In the first place?"

IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Monday, February 2 0 . » Washington, Feb. 26.— The death ol ex-Speaker David B. Henderson waa the subject of appropriate action in the honae of representatives today, when, after the transaction of less than a day’ * business, resolutions of regret and esteem were adopted and adjourn ment taken as a further mark of respect to his memory. Several b ill« relating to the District of Columbia were passed, incorporating the Lake Erie A Ohio River Ship Canal company. The bill will be put on its passage the first thing tomorrow. During the consideration of district legislation, Finis, of Tennessee, made a severe arraignment of the form of the District. It waa un-American, un- republican and un-democratic. A bill ~as prised giving a national charter to the National Society of Bone of the American Revolution. Washington, Feb. 26.— The Hepburn railroad rate bill was reported to the senate today by Tillman, in accord ance with the action of the senate com mittee on interstate commerce last Friday. Large crowds assembled in the galleries, anticipating a field day of debate, but were disappointed. There was little of interest in the pro ceedings regarding the b ill. A brief statement from Tillman with the neces sary arrangement for printing the re port of the bearings before the com mit tee and a promish that a formal report would be made later, was followed by a few remarks from Aldrich, showing the position of the five Republicans who opposed the bill as reported. Aldrich indicated that there would be no un necessary delay, but that the bill would be discussed in accordance with its im portance. Clapp called up the b ill to dispose of the affaire of the five civilized tribes in Indian Territory, and the prelim inary discussion was mainly criticism of the diepoeition of the coal lands owned by the Indians. Dick occupied the floor during the afternoon, continuing his speech in sup port of the joint statehoood b ill. Among the bills passed was one ap propriating $75,000 for a public build ing at Moscow, Idaho, and one at Baker City, Oregon, coating $75(000. Frieay, February 2 3 . Washington, Feb. 23. — Preceded by a debate which indicated no hesitancy, but rather a relish, in taking action against alleged railroad combinations, the bouse agreed without opposition today to the Tillman-Gilleepie reeola tion, directing the Interstate Commerce commission to make an immediate in quiry and report regarding alleged re straints of trade on the part of certain railroads in the handling of coal and o il. The resolution w s b not in the form in which it passed the senate, and will go back to that body for its second action. Proceeding under call of committee, boills were passed to require $75 worth of work annually on mining claims and $5 worth of work on roads and trails for each mining claim in Alaska; allow ing foreign shipstoclear from American ports without examination certificates when the countries to which they belong recognize American certificates of in spection; to prevent foreign built dredges from operating in the United States, except the dredges now at work in the United States under contract. Washington, Feb. 23. — By a vote of 3 to 5 the senate committee on inter state coa lm en s today agreed to report the Hepburn railroad rate b ill without amendment, bat the resolution re served to the members of the com m it tee freedom of action concerning amendments offered in the senate. By a vote of 5 to 3, Republicans prevail ing, Tillm an, a Democrat, was given the honor of reporting the bill. This establishes a precedent, in that a Re publican senate committee has given to a Democrat control of an important measure passed by a Republican house and endorsed by a Republican presi dent. _________ Thursday, February 2 2 .
