Mr. Sears, of Webster, made the first speech in opposition. He spoke of the expense connected with the measure and said that it would not end with yearly appropriation.

Sanborn, at the Missouri station, have been continued by Mr. H. J. Waters, the assistant agriculturist From the ta bles given it appears that tiie early maturing varieties gave air average of the smallest yield of corn and fodder, the shortest stalks and the smallest propor tion of stalk to ear. The medium ma turing varieties averaged the largest yield of corn, while the late maturing varieties gave the largest amount of fodder, the highest stalks and the great est yield of stalks in proportion to ears. In this respect similar results were ob tained at the Illinois station. In fertilizers, barnyard manure gave an increase, from the use of equivalent to ten loads per acre, of 46 per cent, for the first year and 83 per cent for the second year, with but one application. Horse manure gavebetter results than cattle manure. Plowing under gave better results than any other method of applying tested. No benefit was derived from the use of salt, lime or land plaster, while wood ashes gave a material in crease of crop. With commercial fertil izers there was not sufficient increase to warrant the expense. In these trials corn responded more readily to potash than to either phosphoric acid or nitro- mittee of the whole rise, report prog ress, and ask leave to sit again. This was carried. The matter will come up again to morrow morning as unfinished busi ness. IN THE SENATE.

WAS IT A MURDER? Bettle Mitchell and Her Lover. Columbus, Ga , Aug. 25.—(Special.] —News of an exceedingly sensational affair at Concord, fifty miles from Colombo- has reached this city. Ten days ago Mi«s Bettie Mitchell, a prominent and popular young lady of Concord, tried to kill herself by taking morphine It was whispered at the time that all was not well, and rumor had it that Mr. Albert Sidney Johnson, a good looking young man who travels for a Cincinnati house, was at the bottom of Miss Mitch ell’s troubles. At this stage of the game it developed that the drummer had friends in abundance, and soon they gathered about to protect bim from vio lence. Both factions manifested everv evidence of determination and for a time it seemed that blood would flow freely. The constable in charge of Johnson got drunk and 8 tar ted on tbe warpath on his own account, but was seized and locked up. The friends of Johnson finally arranged bis bond, and by a piece of strategy got bim aboard the night tiain for Atlanta, and beyond the reach of the faction that was hot for blood. The affair has created intense excite ment on account of the prominence of the parties, and public opinion at Con cord seems to be pretty equally divi ded. Johnion is well known throughout the south, and is said to be related to General Albert Sidney Johnson, who lost his life in the confederate service at the battle of Shiloh. His home is at Abingdon, Va. Advices from Concord say that the effort to detain Johnson was made be cause Mitchell, the father of the wrong ed girl, claimed that the bond made was fraudulent. It is also claimed that Johnson promised to marry Mias Mitch ell last May and compromised the case father Charles King, a mild-mannered Iav.$ * 4-1.a • w tient utthe Ohio Insane asylum, secured -srmissum to visit his mother, Mrs. stile King, at Circleville, and while e was preparing a meal he slipped up Many Persons are broken flown from overwork or houaehold care*.

The Clover Hay Worm. Clarence M. Weed, of the Ohio station, calls attention to the small brown worms that often infest clover hay that has been standing in the mow ox stack for some time. These worms web the stems and leaves together and feed upon them. This is the clover hay worm. The adult is a very pretty little purple and golden moth which deposits eggs upon such clover hay as it has ac cess to The eggs soon hatch into small brown worms that become fall grown iu i few weeks. They then spin silken cocoons, within which they change to crysalis, to emerge soon after in adult moths. There are two or more broodi each season. It will readily be seen that these insects are more likely to prove troublesome when old hay is left over from season to season for them to breed in. Consequently, hay mows should be thoroughly cleaned out each summer and new stacks shonld not be pat on old foundations until all the leavings of the previous season are removed. Hay that is thickly infested by the worms shonld be burned. [Special.J—Rev. T. J. Btonecypher, county lecturer of the Farmers’ Alli ance, lectured iu the court house yes- terpay to a large audience.

New Orleans, Aug. 24.—The propo sition to meet the decreased price of gotten by reducing the pay of agricul tural) labor, and particularly the pay for picking cotton, first suggested by the conference of planters which lately met in Memphis, is being well received in this taction, and several meetings of planter* have been held in Louisiana and Mississippi, and have determined Wheat Not Always Self Fertilizing, May wheats cross naturally? It has generally been asanmed that they do not —can not For several seasons past, sayi the editor of The Rnral Now Yorker, as an ample opportunity has been given for observation, we incline more and more to tbe opinion that the question may be answered affirmatively, though not un til now have we been able to offer any positive proof. The first evidence was given by The Rural New Yorker’s wheat-rye hybrids; those that were ster ile, or nearly so. It was observed that the envelopes about the pistils, stamens and ovaries gaped apart, and remained bo for hours, as if asking for something that nature did not supply. We were thus led to watch the flowers of pure wheats. It was seen that the palets do open not only far enough to allow of the egress of the anthers, but occasionally so far as to enable one to see the feathery stigma without farther pressing the glomes apart. It would seem that this opening in pare wheats is of very Bhort duration. Were the stigmas of these gaping flowers already pollinated? Were their own anthers pollenless or impotent, and was that the reason they gaped open as in the case of the sterile rye-wheat Suppose the anthers of ordinary wheat beads were removed while green and immature (as in crossing), would any of the emasculated flowers bear kernels? To answer the question five heads were so treated, care being taken to ascertain that the anthers were immature. These beads were examined one day during the past week. It was found that nearly one-half of them bore grain (a much larger per cent, than has ever been ob tained by hand crossing, when it is Device* for Poultry Keeper*.

This may include old fence rails that are no longer useful for that purpose, old boxes and barrel staves and the branches of trees thathave been blown off in the woods or thathave been pruned off in the orchards. A great many fanners who pile up their limbs and brash and bnrn them in that way have a good deal to learn about tbe value of apple tree wood as fuel. When seasoned, I consider it much better than the average wood we get out of the forest, and for making a hot fire would place- it almost next to hickory. The tranks of old apple trees are well worth catting ap for this purpose, and the branches that are pruned off from the standing trees in the orchard wiU make good stove wood or kindling wood for ccal lisa.” Cfi THE FAD.” WM rjjm THE J AOKSON & BURKE CO.
