One of the most remarkable
productions of the Isles of Chileo
is the celebrated barometer trees,
which grow in great profusion in
all of the salt marshes. In dry
weather the bark of this natural
barometer is as smooth and white
as that of sycamore, but with
the near approach of storms these
characteristics xanish like magic
and the bark turns black.

About the November Outlook.
About the Cd and Sd of Novem-
Der will center reactlonary
change to warmer, which change
will begin in the West with
soutberly winds, growing cloudi-
ness, and rain. These conditions
Will advance eastwards during the
Sd and 4th, followed closely by
the shifting; of the wind to westerly
and colder. About the 9TH a ver7
marked storm period will begin.
Both the "Vulcan" and Mercury
disturbances are central on the
9Th, making direct connection with
the new moon on the morning of
the same day. This period will set
in with decided change to war
mer in western parts, resulting in
very active storms of rain and
wind, turning to snow and slect in
many places northward, and fol-
lowed promptly by a severe and
general cold wave. From about
The 7th to 10th, beginning in the
West, all parts Of the country will
in turn experience the progressive
and changing phases of the period.
There are reasons to apprehend
hard and dangerous gales in con-
nection with the disturbances of
this period, especially on the lakes
and northerly seas. Sharp cold
and freezing may expected i'm
mediately behind the area of low
barometers, and storms, causing
cold and frosty weather, generally
up to the changes to warmer and
stormy from about the 14th to
10Th. Be Oh the watch for sudden
changes to colder after the storm
area of each period passes to the
east Of your locality.
The opposition of Jupiter oc-
ours on that 17th, and there is
much indication that these op-
positions greatly excite all at
mospheric pertubations occurring
about such times. This opposition
will likely be felt most severely
during the storm period running
from the 10Th to 23d. The Venus
excitment will also be present at
this period, giving good grounds
for fearing heavy storms as q re,
suit. Heed our warning and be
on the watch for them and for
the cold that will press behind
them on land water. The final
crisis of this period may not come
until the full moon, on the 23d,
but be ready for severe storms,
with danger on the lakes, at any
time during the period. The
Venus extremes from :warm to
sudden and piercing cold, with
thunder and rain, turning to
northwest gales and snow will
exploit themselves ut this time.
The Venus equinox is central
on the Doth, and it's influence will
be plainly felt in all the distur-
Dances for about 90 days before
and 20 after this date. Or
dinary or normal disturbances
otherwise will be excited into great
and prolonged violence, SO that
many disasters will be heard from.
The reactionary movements about
the 23d to 9th will feel the cen-
trail force of this Venus period and
wind up in great cold. So will the
regular storm period, which begins
about the last day of the month
and runs into the opening days of
December.

met and overcome all opposition
and removed all obstruction to
their grand march to freedom and
a higher civilization. They must
now grapple with the most dan
gerous, the most insidious, and the
most relentless foe with which hu-
manity is compelled to contend
the power of concentrated capital.
1t is the most dangerous because
it's weapons are cunning; the most
lnsidious because it's methods'sare
secret, and the most relentless be-
cause it is soulless and deaf to the
groans of it's victims.
Concentrated capital must be
dethroned. The life blood of civili-
zation muzt cease to slake the
thirst of avarice. The normal cir
culation must be restored. The
British pnmp must cease to drain
the circulating medium of the
United States into the reservoir of
a London syndicate. An independ-
ent financial policy must be estab-
lished.
The schemes of the enemy will
be exposed, and the paths to free
dom and prosperity made plain.
Concentrated capital must take
warning. The luxury of revolution
and extortion will I've expensive.
When justice is denied, the wrong
doers must take the consequences.
This victory for injustice and
wrong is only temporary. If capi-
tai repudiates contracts by con-
traction, the people will restore
justice by expansion. If in the
conflict the aggressor is despoiled,
1T will be his own fault, and not
the fault of the victims be has
forced to fight for self-preservaiion.
The motto in the next campaign
will not be the preservation of dis
graced patty names, but the
eternal principle of justice; not
the best dollar, but an honest doll
lar; not an appreciating measure
of value for the rich to monopolize
but an honest measure of.value
which will do justice to all; not
to maintain a false standard of
governmental credit by opening.

Justice and equality befo:e the

most sacred rights. The people

A well-known veterinarian was

the very important fact that the

flesh is heir come from overfeed-

they can be raised as a second crop
easily, as they mature in 40 to 70
days. They have only been tried
one year in Oklahoma, but the so
acres raised at the experimental
and college farm was a splendid
success, though on sod or first
years breaking; and quart each
is being sent out to every farmer
wanting to lest them in the Terri
tory. They were sown broadcast
in thoroughly disked and re-
plowed soil.
The Soy or Saja bean l have
tried under unfavorable circum-
stances, but Prof. Georgeson, OF the
Kansas Station, is enthusiastic in
it's favor. The general reports are
conflicting, but this is doubtless
due in part to the fact that there
are several varieties, and all may
not succeed alike. Further trial
is needed before deciding as to
their merits.
SAINFOIN.
Lathyrus sylvestris is a plant Of
the pea family, but our first trial
was a failure, and as seed is very
high-priced and the outcome some
what uncertain. it will be we'll to
let our experimental farmers test
it few years yet. In alfalfa the
drier regions that have a porous
subsoil have all assured plant. Its
value is unquestioned and the
Weld enormous. But it must have
deep, porous subsoil, for its roots
run from 10 to 80 feet. On COM
pact soils it is a failure. Dry
weather affects it but little, though
of course growing more luxuriantly
where irrigated, but it must have
soil easily to penesrate with its
roots.
Of the non n-saccharine sorghums,
their success is we'll assured. They
Weld much more and better forage
than corn, and an equal or greater
amount of seed, and will with
stand drouth that will entirely
ruin any prospect of any grain on
the corn. While it is true that in
moist climates or in q season OF
the West where there isthe normal
amount os rainfall it VIII yield
more largely, yet it will produce
fair crops in the driest seasons.
While corn will not revive after
being injured in tassel and silk or
bloom, these plants will form new
heads, and if not too late will
ripen their seed. This country
was opened to settlement last year
two months too late and while no
corn could be planted before May
10, while we planted this year
March 20, and it of course could
not amount to much. We planted
largely of forage plants from May
10 to June 20, and had feed in
abundance and to sell. There is
yet time to plant, and it does well
in sod.
Of the varieties red and white
Kahir corn and yellow Milo maize
are to be specially commended.
Jerusalem corn is nearer candi-
date and is highly recommended,
but in our two years it fell below
the others in forage and seed. As
planted crop, do the same as with
corn, except if in drills they can
be "a close as eight inches, and if
in hills three to five grains two
feet apart, If sowed, let it be as
thick as corn. Of course as the
seed is small, much less per acre
will be required. We believe they
can be raised with profit in every
