SOUTHERN OREGON MAIL. FRIDAY, MAY 13. 1892.
FROM THE CCTAi
SpeslaJ Correspondence.
Washishjtox, D. C, May 9, T892.
Congress has bem practieally at a
jlndatill muife of the lima for ten days
past, chiefly for lack of a quorum at
.critical ' stages. A large number of
members are absent attending to their
political fences at noma, and another
considerable number has ben in regu
lar attendance at the races t Bsnu-jng-s.
It is a striking commentary up
on ths character and faithfulness of a
Jarge proportion of the men elected to
Congress to see the House, timj and
again, brought to a standstill because
ts members are not in their scats or
attending to their duties. The trouble
is that too many of the men sent to
Washington do not regard their posi-
.rasas a trust or realize that they owe
any serious, earnest service to the
public. On the contrary they look up
on their election to Congress as a little
picnic of their owa a sort of holiday
at public expens 1, as it were, which
the people of their district have voted
them. They go through their terms
in a pjrfuncwry way, so far as business
is concerned, and take every oppor
tunity to absent themselves and to seek
their own pleasure and- amusement.
There are always some. working men
men who know wh.t they are here for
end apprecjal'i the responsibilities of
their positions, but they are not in a
mainHtxr thnna-h thov hnva all the real
work oUegislation to perform. It is
decidedly interesting to see a great
legislative body like the House of Kep
resentatiyes killing time while the ser-ge&nt-at-arms
govs out to the race track
a few miles away to bring back 75 or
00 members to make a quorum.
few people outside of Washington
realize what an enormous business the
claim agents in this city have done
during the past ten or fifteen years
and are still doing. The tons of mail
matter sent out by these agents makes
Washington rank high above other
cities of its size in its postal business.
Pension claims constitute the larger
part ff this business and there are
aome agents who have filed upwards of
100,000 cases while scores of them have
had all the way from 10.000 to 50.000.
Of the 14,000 bills introduced in the
Jast House about one-half of them were
private pension or claim bills. Of the
JJ.500 introduced so far in the present
House 5,000 are claim or privata pen
sion bills. The enormous increase in
resent years in this kind of legislation
is due to the activity of the claim
agents, who solicit this kind of busi
ness " from all parts of the country,
The claims presented to Congress are
such as can not pass the Pension Office
for one reason or another. Some of
fUa agents have grown enormously
wealthy. One of thsm who. started in
as a poor clerk, gnd afterward became
a claim agent, is now rated to be worth
pver a million of dollars, and is said to
be in receipt of an income of $2,500 per
week.
There are often claims of various
kinds and of more, or less doubtful
yaudity, out of which the agents get a
tai sues u may succeed, An instance
of this sort is furnished in the reso
lution now before the Senate for the
payment to the Choctaw and Chicka-
paw Indians lor their interest in cer
tain lands. If the claim passes Con
gress it will make millionaires 01 the
three claim agents who are pushing it,
as they are to get 25 per cent, of the
10,000.003 claimed, or a fee of $2,500,
000. Senator Allison, chairman of the
Appropriation Committee, whose hon
esty, fairnesg, aqd knowledge"of public
affainsoan not bj quastioned, asserts
that the Indians do not own the land in
question, and can therefore afford to
"pay two millions and a half to get seven
and one-half millions That do not be
long to them. The industry of the
claim agents in working up all sorts of
claims leads Congress to treat cava
lierly some that are just, and thereby
hardship is sometime caused. A great
government should certainly have
some sure method of distinguishing
the ju3t from the fraudulent, and never
do an injustice to one of its eitiz.-ns.
The inter-state commerce commis
sion has recently given emphasis to
the fact of its utter uselessness. A de
cision made last week by this highly
prnamental body knocks out the long
and short haul clause of the law. which
was about all there was of it. The de
pision sustains the Santa Fe railroad in
pharging a bigh-ar rate of freight to
San' Byroad ino than to Lob Angele3,
California, though the former is eighty
miles further east. This is allowed
by the commission on the ground that
Los Angeles is affected by water com
petition, though as a matter of fact it
fS fifteen miles from the nearest port.
A9 there is hardly an important point
jn the United States that can not wig
gle in under such a construction of the
law ' as this, the commission ought to
close up its office. It has never accom
plished - the - first , agood to the
people' yet, 'and the railroad officials
pay no attention to the law except
whore they can turn it in some way to
heir own advantage.

THE ROOT CROP.
Soma of the Secret of Growing Boots lo
m Profitable Manner.
There is nothing much more valuable
in connection with hay and ensilage fot
feeding than a good crop of turnips ot
mangold wnrzels, and it has been
demonstrated thnt they can be grown
for the low price of about six cents per
bushel. Besides, the leaves of these
crops in the fall for feeding, when sowed
corn is gone and it is not desired to turn
stock into meadows, are very valuable.
A correspondent of Country Gentleman
says: "Ono of the first things and the
most injurious in the way of raising these
crops is tne trouble irom weeus. in is
can be remedied uanaUyjbest ui the fall
before; plow your land early, or if it has
been planted the year before, a good
cultivating perhaps will do; harrow it
down finely; this gives a line seed bed,
and in a short time all of the weed seeds
will start to grow. Then harrow again
and kill them all. and by the time they
start a second time and get a good har
rowing and are exposed during the
winter there will not be many of them
left. ' -x '
"Good manure of course is a necessity
for growing a good root crop. If barn
yard dung is used, and is coarse, 1 should
plow it under, but if it was well rotted
it would probably be best to cultivate it
in on top. But it sometimes occurs that
farmers have not sufficient barnyard
dung. When this is the case what to
rely on is superphosphate, and this
should be put on in the drills at from
800 to 1,000 pounds to the acre. The !
roots should be sowed in drills at 2J
feet apart. A very important thing
about sowing, and one about which a
good many make a mistake, is this; In
seasons when the ground is dry they go
on and work it, and in this way it be
comes dried out. A streak of this dry
ground will become covered over with
this moist soil, the seeds are then sown,
they germinate, their roots come in con
tact with this dry earth, it does not rain,
and they refuse to grow. Now if the
farmer after working his soil had waited
two weeks or so, this dry ground by
capillary attraction would become damp
from the moisture underneath. Thjn if
be had sowed his fine seed upon this
moist seed bed he would have had a good
crop.
"After the seed is. sown most of the
work can be done by cultivator, except
for men passing through the rows and
cutting out the distances between the
plants to about fifteen inches, and finally
weeding. If well cultivated and the soil
good, the crop might reasonably be ex
pected to yield from S00 to 1.P00 bushels
to the acre, which is easily harvested. The
common rutabaga or Swedish turnip is
the best for winter nse. and should be
sown earliest The white or yellow tur
nips are sown next, but used first, as the
former is the better keeper.
- "There are several varieties of mangold
wurzels long, red "and yellow, and the
red and yellow globes. I consider the
globes the best, as they are the hardiest,
and also more nutritions. The mangolds
should be sown early, as soon as the
ground is in proper condition. About
two pounds of rutabaga seed will an
swer per acre, and abont four ponnus of
mangolds."
XArge mod Small Bone In Pig.
The producers of the pure bred stock
have made it the rnling effort for years
to reduce the size of the bone, while the
farmers call for heavy bone animals.
Now the question presents itself, have
the breeders gone too far in their efforts
to reduce the amount of bone, or do the
farmers fail to appreciate the benefits
arising from small bones. One of the
foremast among English authorities says
that the mistake is with the mass of
farmers, and comments on the almost
universal demand with American farm
ers purchasing males for breeding par-
poses that the animals most have heavy
boneo. The large, coarse bone is not
always the strongest, but rather the fine,
perfectly formed bone.
. Breeders understand that a hog can
be made ready for market at from 7 to 9
months old. and for market at this age
the bone must be fine. This is neces
sary, that the animal have proper sym
metry in form, for the coarse, angu
lar boned animal must be fatted at this
age. The trouble with the mass of
farmers lies in the fact that they have
not grasped the advanced ideas of the
breeder that a hog should be ready for
the market at not more than 9 months
old.
Another matter that the farmers do
not properly understand as yet is bow to
keep the bone that they desire. They
purchase a coarse boned male because
they think their sows are a little too fine
boned, with the result that in a few
years the same complaint is made again.
This shows a mistake in management.
BoraetilaV in-breeding is the cause, but
more often the feeding of food larlring
in bone forming material.
The custom of baying coarse boned
males shoujd be abandoned, and the way
to bring abont this is by using a different
style of brood sow, which must be pro
duced by a different style of feeding.
To have a hog that will fatten at the
age mentioned we must have a symmet
rical pne. A coarse boned one does not
reach symmetrical proportions at this
age. By using heavy boned sows and a
fine, symmetrical boned boar we get in
the offspring the kind of hog desired.
the counterpart of his sire, that will fat
ten at any age and carry the proper pro
portion of bone.
A hog can have perfect proportion
and be too small to be of practical value
Also a hog can be symmetrical in form.
yet too large for general nse. The aim
should be to get the hog that has tho
proper symmetry, reaching it at the age
desired to put him on the market. This
can be accomplished by care in feeding,
selection and Weeding.
CULTURE OF BEANc8.,
JTh "acquirements for Their Suceeaafal
Growth, with Hint for Harvesting.
Beans require a strong soil for their
successful production; according to an.
alysis they are even more exhausting than
wheat, and (t uniform calcareous loam is
pne of tho best, although a good sandy
or gravelly loam does well. After all,
mellow cultivation is one of the most
important requisites. An inverted sod.
made mellow eommonly answers a good
purpose. The crop should be planted
wheii the soil becomes warm, dome days
ni-. corn piannng, late varieties to be
planted first and. f arly ones afterward.
The pea varieties require half a bushel
to the acre; medium, three-fourths, and
the marrows a bushel. These are the
kinds most planted. The rows ore planted
about thirty inches apart with a one
horse planter, which puts in two rows at
a time. If the surface of the soil before
planting is made smooth and level with
a smoothing harrow, and afterward
rolled, the planter will put the seed in
at a uniform depth and in straight rows.
Cultivation begins ten days after plant
ing, the implement catting the weeds
without throwing the earth against the
plants. It should be repeated about once
a week till the blossoms make their first
appearance, working close to the rows
and picking out ull weeds.. If neglected,
the crop is partly ruined. Never work
them when tho ground is wet Com
mence' harvesting as soon as the pods
and leaves begin to turn yellow. Tho
different harvesting machines cut the
stalks an inch or two below the surface
of tho ground, by means of a sharp steel
blade drawn diagonally. When pretty
dry they are placed in piles with four
rows of bunches to allow the team to
pass. These benches are only large
enoupji for one forkful each, with tho
common barley fork. Country Gentle
man, authority for the foregoing, says
that a horse fork is good for unloading.
The bunches are usually turned over to
dry the bottoms, in doing which the two
are brought nearer together, to make
space for the team to pass. The thrash
ing machine should ran at low speed and
have round teeth to prevent injury to
the beans. "Much of tie profit of bean
culture," remarks a successful cultiva
tor, "depends on tho skill in fitting them
for the eastern market.
Reduced Italea for the Cwuveotloau
The railroads entering Omaha from
the west and south have interested them
selves in the first national convention of
the People's party, which is to be hold
in this city July 4, and will nse their in
fluence to persuade all railroads to make
special rates and other concessions for
that event Ordinarily such action can
not be taken until within ninety days of
the event, but a meeting of representa
tives of the Omaha lines was bold re
cently, and they decided to urge the mat
ter upon the immediate attention ot the
various traffic associations. A resolution
was passed asking that a half fare rato
be put iu from all points; that tickets be
sold early enough to permit delegates to
reach Ouiaha in time for preliminary
meetings on JnlyS, and that the return
limit be fixed at July 15. This resolu
tion will bo forwarded at once to the
Transcontinental, the Transmissouri. the
Southern, the Southwestern and the Cen
tral Traffic associations. Those bodies
will be asked to suspend their rules and
act on the request at their next meeting.
Omaha passenger men think there will
be no difficulty in getting the desired
concessions. Omaha Dispatch.
Which Way Should III race?
It is the general belief, or at least the
common practice, to have the entrtnee
toward the south. While conceding
that there may be some reasons for this
practice, Eugene Secor thinks any other
point as good if not better. He says in
Farmer and Breeder: "A southern en
trance is more likelv to entice the bees
out in the spring, or late in the fall
when the weather is too cool for bees to
fly and when it would be better that
they remain in the hive. In the heat of
summer, too, a southern entrance is
most undesirable. It is more difficult
to shade that side when accommodation
for flying bees is needed.
"An eastern entrance is quite objec
tionable. It is the point toward the
morning sun. and perhaps bees may ee
the light a little earlier in the morning
during the honey season.
I have used a north front with a good
deal of satisfaction. It is cool in sum)
mer. The hive is easily shaded. In
summer the morning sun shines first on
the north side of the hive. The en
trance can be entirely closed on cool
dars in tho spring if the north wind
blows. I prefer a north entrance to a
south.
I'nleached Aabea.
The Connecticut experimental station
gives, as thereeultsofananalysisofaton
of good quality nnleached Canada ashes,
1.310 pounds of carbonate of lime, mixed
with magnesia: 110 pounds of potash,
39 pounds of phosphoric acid. 840 pounds
of water and 391 pounds of other mate
rial which has no fertilizing value. The
1 ,220 pounds of lime has a little value.
The potash is very good, but as much
would be fonnd in 223 pounds of muri
ate of potash, and the 39 pounds of phos
phoric acid could be obtained in 225
pounds of German phosphatic slag or
the same amount of good acid phos
phate, or in 27-" pounds of South Caro
lina floats. The potash at present prices
would cost $5.06, and the phosphate
about $3.44, in either form. , This gives
the value of those two elements in a ton
of ashes as $7.50. Or 423 pounds of cot
ton seed hull ashes would have more of
both elements than the ton of Canada
ashes, and we think could be bought
for less money, says American Culti
vator.
Kalnlt and Nitrate of Soda.
Kainit and nitrate of soda can hardly
be compared. According to American
Gardening kainit supplies potash, nitrate
of soda supplies nitrogen, and each one
occupies an altogether different place in
the economy of plant growth. Kainit
has 12 or 13 per cent of potash, conse
quently has a value as plant food of
eleven or twelve dollars; while nitrate of
soda, having IS or 16 per cent of nitro
gen, is worth forty to forty-five dollars.
Kainit is valuable as a manrre for trees
and small fruits, potatoes, etc., when
supplemented with the other elements
that may be needed. It is also excellent
on mucky grass lands. For vegetable
crops, if used at all, it should be applied
daring fall or winter, says the authority
Tomato Experiment In Oreg-oa,
Fifty-five varieties of tomatoes were
planted last season on the grounds of the
Oregon experiment station. After the
fruit had set six plants of each variety
were pruned back "to two joints above
the fruit. Plants treated in this man
ner yielded much larger and better
fruit, but not earlier, and the plants
were comparatively free from small or
stunted fruit. Plants that were allowed
to grow at will had a larger number of
fruits to the plant, but smaller ones,
thus proving that by keeping plants.
pruned back mnch better and more even
fruit may bo ceeured. But little differ
ence could be noticed between the
plants trailing on the ground and those
trained to trellises.
