BERLIN, Aug. 13.-The ukase forbid
ding the export from Russia of rye and
rye meal of every kind and bran. which
was published in the official journal at
St Petersburg, has created an enor-
nous sensation in this city The ukase
came as a complete surprise to the

ernment has forbidden the export of
rye and rye meal, as the principal mer-
chants here have received special tele-
grams confirming the first public dis
patches announcing the prohibition.
The only point of difference in
the private and public dispatches is
in regard to the date on which the
prohibition will go into effect Several
of the earlier dispatches stated that the
ukase would take effect Immediately.
while later kilograms announced that
the prohibition would not be enforced
until August %. This short respite af-
forded great relief. The influence Of
this action on the part of the Russian
government was Immediately felt on
the bourse here. The effect was gener-
ally to depress prices, although values
did not fall as low as was expected they
would, as many of the leading brokers
had received secret advices as to the
probable PRONUNCIATION of the decree.

FARM NOTES.

In preparing the ground for wheat
keep the best soil and fertilizer near
the surface, to insure a good crop.
One of the principal causes in failing
to secure a good even stand of grass is
that sufficient seed is not used in seed
ing. Sow plenty of seed and then dis
tribute as evenly as possible over the
surface.
Farm machinery and implements are
the most costly items of farming, and
quite a saving can be made by cleaning
up, oiling and painting well, and stor-
ing Gnder shelter when their work il
finished up.
What about that flock of barnya
fowls? Many focks hardly keep the
farmers table supplied with eggs and
brOilers- A good breed will, under
proper management, yield far more in
profits than does common stock They
eat no more.

coming in. but as starter we mention

Anthony (Kan.) Journal.
AS soon as grain is harvested look
carefully to the clover seeding. If it
has failed no time should be lost in
plowing the field and trying another
grain crop, this time sowing some
timothy seed in fall SO as to be sure of
a catch of some kind. Often, however,
it will be found if the grain is stout that
the clover is not killed, but merely held
in check.
One of our Kansas farmers had a
field of nearly one hundred acres of
wheat which he has threshed out, and
finds the yield to be forty -four bushels

duce thousands of bushels of peaches

pick from 100 to 500 bushels. Such a
crop of peaches was never before raised

For soiling rye is one of the best
crops that can be used. 1t can be sown
in the summer or early fall after the
crops have matured, and will make a

Two Of the Leaders Of the Massacre OF
British Oncials Hanged.
SIMLA, India, Aug. i4.-At Manipur
yesterday two of the leaders of the
massacre of British officials in March
last were hanged at the gates of the
capitol. The two were members of the
reigning family of Manipur, but neither
their high positions nor the appeals for
clemency that had been made for them
could save them for the vengeance of
the law. Both had appealed from the
sentence of death imposed by the mill
tary court of inquiry before which they
were tried, but the viceroy of India,
the marquis of Lansdowne, had decided
that the interests of Great Britain de-
manded that these men who had waged
war against the queen and abetted
murder should die on the gallows like
ordinary murderers
The principal victim was the sena-
putty or commander-in-chief of the
Manipur army. He was a younger
brother of the rajah of Manipur and
some years ago he drove the rajah into
exile and placed another brother on the
throne, who governed Manipur under
the title of jubraj or regent. 1t was
the senaputty who instigated the mas
sacre of Chief Commissioner Quinton,
Political Agent Grimwood and the 9TH
ers who lost their lives at the fatal dur
bar in Manipur.
The other victim was the Tongale
general who violated the flag of truce
under which the Englishmen were de-
coyed from the residency at Manipur
which they had SO gallantly defended
against overwhelming odds when at
tackled by the Manipuri and who gave
the order to the native executioner to
strike off the heads and feet of the
British prisoners.
The regent of Manipur and the Prince
Angoa Sena whose sentences of death
were commuted by the viceroy to trans
portation for life and the forfeiture of
their property. will shortly be taken
from the country.

Notes.

A good rye patch is Of special value
TO the brood sows and growing pigs
during the winter. So far as it ia nos.
sible, growing pigs should have green
food and they will keep healthier and
thrive better If this is supplied. Dur
lag the winter rye will furnish this

STOCK ITEMS

The best time to finish hogs for mar
ket is in the moderately cool weather In
the fall.
A careful breeder will avoid the show
pig whose fat too often covers up his
defects
When an animal has matured 1t gains
very slowly and the gain is nearly en-
tirely in fat only. A young, growing
animal gains in meat, fat and bone.
One of the best feeds for giving the
pigs a good start to grow is sweet corn.
cut of and fed stalk and all. In this
way it will be found an economical
ration.
In Scotland it is considered that
good COW. on good grass, should milk
about twenty-eight gallons OF ten
pounds per week (that is, unless long
calved) which should yield about ten
pounds of butter.
In Ireland from five to twelve pounds
of butter a week is considered a fair
yield from the first-class Irish cows.
About eight or nine pounds of butter a
week and thirty pounds of milk day
is considered a good average.
In many cases little extra feed now
for a short time will put stock in condi-
tion SO that they can be sold Winter
sheltered and cared for. and let them
be those that will make good growth
for the food supplied
The man who has a bunch of top"
steers in good shape and wants to
market them early in the fall or winter
will usually find it to his profit to feed
small amount of corn or grass, no
matter how abundant the pasture, for
nothing will put that thick Christmas
pasture.
Those who have followed it after the
most approved methods claim that more
money is to be made from raising calves
for veal than from the ordinary farm
dairy where butter and cheese are the
great products The cows should bs
fed but little grain when they come in.
The oil meal. shorts. oats and such
food given with hay is preferable too corn
meal or heavy grains
With good pasturage almost any class
of stock can be fattened more readily
and at a less cost than when they must
depend largely upon dry feed. This is
one strong reason why it is best to push
the feeding of the unthrifty stock and
market before the pasturage begins to
fail. Look over the stock and select
out those that under favorable condi-
tions have not done as we'll as others
managed in the same way.
With hogs and cattle es pecially quick
growth and early maturity are neces-
sary if the best profit is realized; this
implies good grade of stock to feed.
They must be animals that when given
good pasturage and plenty of water in
summers and good shelter, good care
and plenty of feed in winter, will make
steady gain until they are matured.
and when they are ma'ured the sooner
they are marketed the better.
