PEORIA, Sept. THE National
Democrat, having interviewed promi-

facts in regard TO the western export
association, will say io>morrow: The
whiskey pool, or as it is better known
to the trade, the western export asso-
citation, is hopelessly broken. Alco-
hol and high proof spirits oday are
selling in the prominent manufactur
ing centres in the west for 81 90 to
81 05 per proof gallon. We are cred
itably informed that purchases are
being made as low as 81. .02 and 81 OF
per proof gallon. This being a loss
of from three TO five cents per proof
gallon to the distiller.
We are also informed that If this
wa, continues, of which there seems
to BE- no doubt, the rrices will go
down TO $1.00 per proof gallon for
alcohol and high proof spirits. The
distillerS are determined To drive the
knife to the hilt and then wriggie the
hilt.
In all this, as in the railroad war, in

Chinese legislation, in speaking
of the Chinese minister said 10 an
associated press reporter to night that
nothing would be done by the repre-

here IN the matter of the recent

Springs, Wyoming, until the report
of the occurrence had been received
from the Chinese consul at San Fran~
cisco.
When such report was received he
said the question of bringing the case
to the attention of this government
would be considered. Thus far there
had been no correspondence upon the
subject bet i0een the Minister and con
sui at San Juan. The return of the
minister TO Washington, he added,
was not because of this trouble, but
simply because his vacation was at an
end.

The writer first visited this spot
during the war, soon after Mr.. Cars

out farm with it's wasted fields al
most entirely non-producing.
New life was first impaired to
the old starved farm by hauling
and scattering over the hungry
fields 1000 loads of manure at cost
OF $500, from the Government army
stables at Keyser. And now after
lapse of twenty years, what find
we here? In place of the old log
dwelling, a fine brick mansion with
all modern conveniences and with
the purest spring water running
throughout the house as it comes
IN perpetual flow through leaden
pipes from the mountain side across
New Creek, and after supplying all

Mr.. Carskadon's experience as he
gives them, together with that of
ninety others from Maine to Flori-
da, reporting unanimously to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in favor Of the system.
He says the cost of preparing and
storing the ensilage is not greater
than to cure and store the dry fod-
der from the same ground, while it
will keep twice or three times as
many cattle or sheep. Again, he
says, two to three tons of ensilage
will feed as tar as one ton of hay,
while an acre of ground that will
produce two tons of hay will pro-
duce from fifteen to twenty tons of
ensilage.
The grandest feature of this new
food is its special value for the dali
ny in winter, as it produces milk
and butter III quantity and quail
ty equal to June grass and this is
why the heading of this letter is
"Butter 10 Cents Pound, Milk a
Cent Pint" which will be the
how of it when all diaries and far
mers use ensilage.

speak of the fine sheep, cows, ETC.,

1t will be of interest to those
seeking information concerning
this coming revolution in the above
line of agriculture and stock rails
ing, to know that Mr.. Carskadon
has concluded to write a book
on the subject, in order to answer
satisfactorily the many inquiries
about silos and ensilage that come
to him by mail. Certainly, such a
work by one who knows all about
the matters to be treated, from &C
tual and intelligents experience,
would be of great value to West

The book will tell farmers just
what they want to know; How to

lage-How to cultivate-When to

The increasing demand for this
information ought to stimulate
Mr.. Carskadon to extra diligence to
supply the wants of his fellow far
mers at the earliest possible date,
and it is hoped he may soon be able
to answer all inquiring letters with
book of valuable facts and sug.
