ABOUT ROUGHAGE
What is the Best for Dairy
Cows the Question:
THE RESULT OF EXPERIENCE

After Testing for Some Time the Differ
ent Kinds Commonly Raised on the
Farm, John DcI< Finds Common Fod-
der Corn the Best for Mich Cows.
What is the best roughage for dairy
cows is question OF interest to those
who have no silo. There are those who
have tried roughage of various kinds and
noted results. One such is John w.
Del5, and he gives his experience in
Epitomist. He says:
We have been testing for some time
the different kinds of roughage COM
monty raised on the farm, and find that
common fodder corn is one of the best
for cows giving milk. Our COWS do bet
ter, give more milk and produce more
butter when fed on it during winter than
any other kind we have tried, and we
get such large yield from the ground,
as compared with other kinds of rough
age, making from seven to eight tons OF
the very choicest per acre when 1t Is
cured and housed rs it should be. When
it is cut at the right stage and properly
cured, our COWS even eat the stalk; SO
there is but very little waste.
Sorghum Is our next preference; 1t
makes an excellent feed for cows in
milk, and is one Of the best for young
cattle Our cattle will all stay fat and
sleek on it, but the ones in milk, when
changed from sorghum roughageIto that
of fodder corn, show u slight increase
! both in milk and butter. Hence we rec
ommend fodder corn in preference TO
other hay or roughage, for it has been
proven to be fact here in the South
/ that sorghum hay could not be eXcelied
/ by many others for dairy cattle, and some
/ even went so far as to say that it was the
/ best-none excepted. Let that be as it
may, our experience has proven to us
! that the fodder corn produced the greater
amount of milk and butter, and that Is
what we feed and attend to our COWS for.
1t not only proves to be good in winter,
! but in dry, hot weather Of late summer.
| When our pastures are failing we find
that bundle OF fodder corn not only in
Creases the amount of butter, but is
eaten with relish by the COWS. 1t may
not produce as much per acre as some,
such as sorghum, COW peas, etc, but will
make more than the major part OF our
haying plants per acre, besides giving SO
much more beneficial results.

PACIFIC CABLE.
Discussion of British Projects by a San
Francisco Paper.


Francisco Paper.
SAN Francisco, October 2S.-The Bull
letin this evening says: For some time
past British and Canadian contractors
have been figuring on plans for a cable
from Vancouver to Australia via Hawaii.
The cost of this cable is estimated in
round numbers at $4,000, 600. One of
the leading promoters of this cable en-
terprise is Stanford Fleming. He advo-
Gates government ownership, believing
better service will be secured thereby.
lie is responsible for most of the esti-
mates that have been made. Whether
the British government is to own the
Pacific cable or it is to be in the hands
OF chartered company, it is certain that
the government is behind the enterprise.
The news by the last steamer from Ha-
wall is that the British commission,
represented by Fleming, wants the lease
OF Neckar Island, small island about
Duo miles from Hawaii, and also wants a
subsidy OF $780, 900 year from the Ha-
waiian government for fifteen years.
What the British government really
wants is cessiOn of this island. A short
time ago it was literally mo mans
land" The Hawaiian government took
possession of it and claimed it by right
OF occupation. 1t did not want British
occupation OF an island so near to Ha-
wall. The present Hawaiian govern
ment has had great deal of trouble by
reason OF British antagonism in the ISL
ands. 1t does not want any further in
reference.
Next to an American cable between
this port and Honolulu Hawaiians
might appreciate a cable between Van
couyer and Australian ports with mid
way station at Hawaii. They will never
grant outright foot of land for such a
purpose. They will do nothing to dis
turb the relations of the Republic to the
United States. 1t is not probable that
there would be any formidable obstacle
in the way of landing a marine cable, say
at Honolulu. Private individuals could
make the necessary leases of land, and
the Hawaiian government would prob
| ably grant all needful protection. If all
that is really wanted is safe and con-
venient place to land a marine cable on
Hawaiian soil, there would he no neeC
| OF the Cession of any territory. The ca
BILE proposed would be good thing fol
the promoters. That good thing can be
secured without concession of a foot OF
territory to any foreign power.

POULTRY NOTES.

A small flock well cared for will pay
more dollars than large one neglected.
Market your eggs when fresh, and You
will establish a reputation that brings
money.
Don't feed surplus cockerels until they
! become "old ROSTERS" 1t takes corn
and cuts the price to do it.
Scaly legs is very contagious, and if a
single fowl affected with it is left to run
with the fowls, all will soon be afflicted
with 1t.
Some who supply customers regularly
with fresh eggs use rubber stamp to
mark on each egg the date on which is
was laid.
Gather the eggs daily, store in cool,
dry place, and find as far as possible
| private customers that take eggs weekly
or oitener.
1t is often the case that at this season,
if the hens stop laying, changing the
| feed for few days will start them to
laying again.
When shipping poultry long distances
| supply the coop5 with corn and water.
Do not mix a lot of meal and compel the
eating OF sour stuff.
The hog has been called the mortgage
raiser. Have you ever tried to see what
few hens we'll cared for will do toward
preventing mortgage.
To be most profitable turkeys must
have good range. They are good for
ayers and good insect destroyers, but
they must have plenty OF room to range
over.
We hold that no farm is properly
stocked unless it has at least a small
stock of fowls that are not half ROSTERS,
and that no farm is properly managed
if the hens are not properly taken care
of regularly.
The tools handiest for cleaning are
large sheet iron bucket Of the capacity
of two ordinary pals, a piece of clap
board about two feet long for cleaning
off the roost board, and a garden rake
for taking up the feathers and litter
from the bottom OF the house. With
the use of these it is but little work to
keep house clean.
II you are supplying fresh eggs" to
customers and happen to find new
nest in the straw pile or elsewhere, do
not put the eggs with those you sell.
Keep them for home use and YOU can
try them" when breaking. People
that buy fresh eggs OF private parties do
not expect to have to try them before
using--that is why they pay the extra
price.-Kansas Farmer.
Keep the houses clean, and when
space is limited and the fowls cannot
get out much, be all the more particular
and DO not overstock. A flock of eight
or ten is about right, and can be nicely
managed and kept in good thrift. Clean
off under the roosts each morning, and
scatter dry sand on the boards at each
cleaning. Rake and stir up the ground
at each cleaning, so that the bottom will
be fine and dry for the busting OF the
fowls.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
The Sad Plight of Young Immigrant
German Girl.

The Sad Plight of Young Immigrant
German Girl.
! Chicago, October 28.-For nearly a
month German girl, who left the city
of her birth to come to Chicago has been
detained by the immigration officials at
Ellis Island, New York, and petition
! is being prepared for presentation to
Secretary Carlisle, asking that the girl
! be permitted to land. The girl is Louise
! Hessing. No other case just like hers
was ever brought to the attention OF the
immigration officials. Louise, who is 25
wears old, was left an orphan in the city
of Chemnitz. For several years she
made living as domestic. A year or
so ago Louise became engaged to Max
| Luther, young mechanic Of Chemnltz.
| The bans were published in church and
! the wedding day set, but Luther betrayed
her and ran away. The girl has but one
relative, and that is Mrs. Nina Mueller
of this city. Mrs. Mueller went to Ger
many to look after her sister, and decld-
ed to bring her to Chicago and give her a
home. They landed in New York Sep
| tenn her q, but Immigrant Commissioner
| Senner refused to permit the girl to con-
tinue her Journey and ordered her back
to Germany. The Commissioners action
was based solely on the condition OF the
girl. Mrs. Mueller hurried to Chicago,
and procured bonds to guarantee that
her sister would never become public
charge. This did not satisfy the Conn
| missioner, and the latter refuses to
change this ruling. There is no law that
applies to the case except the statute ex-
Guiding females of immoral character,
and the girls friends offered testimony
to prove that previous to her misfortune
her character was OF the best. The OIL
fered testimony was rejected, and the
| friends determined to appeal to Score
tary Carlisle The petition has been
signed by numerous friends of the Muel-
Ter family, and also bears the signatures
OF Mayor Hopkins, Collector NJ. j. Rus
sell, Collector Mize and Postmaster He
sing The position of the Commissioner
is that no bond can be given that will
guarantee that the child, still unborn,
will never become public charge. The
girls friends have ample means, and are
people of the best character.

Too Horrible to be Real.

DUNDEE, October 27.-At the begin
ming of August the whalers Aurora, Ba-
laena and Esquimaux were in Prince
Regent Inlet searching for white whales.
They steamed in Elvin Bay, and party
from the Baaena went on shore. They
had not gone far when they came upon
a CHASTITY ring OF corpses, the remains OF
Fsquimaux who had evidently died Of
starvation. Clean picked bones and
partly devoured bodies revealed a story
OF cannibalism. One corpse had been
beheaded, and the head was found thirty
wards away from the trunk at place
where some one had evidently made a
meal upon the flesh and brains. 1t is
supposed the party while travelling found
their progress checked by the setting in
of winter. One by one they had sue
cumbed to hunger, and finally the
stronger in the futile efforts to save their
own lives were driven to eat the others.

rier has just arrived with the information
that Sheriff Proctor and a posse of Choc-
taws are hot on the trail OF Cook and his
gang of robbers, being only half an hour
behind them. Last night Louise Cook, a
sister of the leaderof the notorious gang,
rode into Fort Gibson, and terrorized the
people OF that place by shooting into
houses and defy;ng arrest. She filed
the depot full OF lead from her pistol.
After driving the frightened citizens off
the streets she galloped through squad

stolen Pouch Recovered.

New YORK, October 27.-L. G. Weir,
President of the Adams Express Com
pany, received a pouch to-day contain
ing bonds and other valuable documents
which had been stolen from the compa-
ny's safe in the train robbery at Acquia
Creek, Va, October IL. The pouch was
one of the express bags taken from the
train by the robbers, vino showed their
booty into it. The money was afterward
distracted, and the pouch with contents
was hidden in the woods near Calyerton,
Va. Searcey, the captured robber who
turned States evidence, revealed the
hiding place, and the pouch was secured.
These valuable papers reduce the loss OF
the express company by the robbery to
less than $4,000.

ANTITRUST LAW
Case of the Sugar Trust Before
the Supreme Court.
A CONSPIRACY is ALLEGED

1t Came up on the Appeal Of the Gov
eminent From the Decision OF the
Lower Court-VirtuaI Monopoly OF the
sugar-Refining business.
WASHINGTON, October 26.-Argument
was begun in the United States Supreme
Court to-day on the appeal OF the gov
eminent from the decision OF the United
States Circuit curt for the eastern dis
trict of Pennsylvania in favor of the
American Sugar Company, the f. c.
knight and the Spreckels and Franklin
refneries, against which the government
brought suit under the Sherman anti
trust law. EX-Solicitor- General Phil
lips opened for the government and John
Johnson for the refners. The present
suit was brought originally with the in
tention OF having the sale OF the prop
erty and business of the Knight, the
Spreckels the Franklin and the Dele
ware Sugar House Companies to the
| American Sugar Refining Company de-
clared void and illegal. The attorneys
for the government in their argument
sought to show that the four PhiIa-
delphia companies prior to March, 1892
manufactured independently OF the
American Company 33la per cent OF the
total sugar manufactured in the United
States, competing with the American
Company, and that by obtaining con
troll of the stock of these companies the
American Company obtained virtua
monopoly of the sugar-refning business
in the United States, and was thus en-
abed to limit the production and in
crease the price of refined sugar. TIL,
consolidation was claimed to have beer
a combination and conspiracy to eitec
an illegal object.

BRowNING's REPORT.
What the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Says of Oregon Matters.


WASHINGTON, October 27.-In the an
nual report of the Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs there is more or less about
the local Indians in each State. Several
matters of especial interest in Oregon
are given. 1t is shown that the allot-
ments on the Warm Springs reservation
are about completed, and that at klam-
ath the special agent has been instructed
to rush the work along as fast as posi-
BILE. An agent has been instructed to
investigate the rights of the Yakima
Indians to fish in the Columbia at The
! Dalles. This right is claimed under a
treaty of 1855. The report of the COM
mission appointed to consider the dam
age to lands taken by the Blue Mount
ain Irrigation and improvement Com
pany on the Umatilla reservation has
not as vet been received. The Indians
are expected to receive some benetitfrom
the irrigation ditch. The only Indian
lands in Oregon which are leased are on
the Umatilla reservation, where forty
two farming and grazing leases have been
made. These range in amount from
seventv-three to $50 acres. The prevail
ing price is 81 per acre per annum,
though one or two pieces are rented for
less. One of the allotments is leased
for 50 per acre. The leases in about
equal numbers are for the periods OF
one, two or three years. No map OF def
mite location Of the Albany and Astoria
Railroad Company's right of way across
the Grand Ronde agency has as yet been
filed with the Department OF the Inte-
rior.
The Indian Commissioner laments
over the recent decision OF Judge Bel
linger, and quotes Agent Brentano as
saying that the Indians have become
very Vicious since that decision. He also
regrets that the matter cannot be taken
to the Supreme Court. In United States
criminal cases, where the court has de-
cided against the government, the gov
eminent cannot appeal.

REPORTS CONFLICT.
Each Sides Claims Necessarily Cause
Such to be the Case.

YOKOHAMA, October Pit is reas-
serted that the army corp under Field
Marshal Count Oyama, formerly Min
lister of War, has effected a landing at
seikiosso near Port Arthur. 1t is also
again asserted that the Japanese army
under Field Marshal Yamagata has sue
cessIully crossed the Yalu river and en-
tered Manchuria. 1t was announced
September rs that Field Marshal Count
Oyama sailed from Hiroshima with the
second Japanese squadron. Since then
II has been repeatedly asserted that the
Japanese had effected a landing near
Port Arthur, and it has been stated
report was current that this important
place had been captured by the Japan
eese. On the other hand, the Japanese
nave several times been reported as haV-
ing crossed the Yalu river, and also as
having been repulsed. For instance De-
tober a Shanghai dispatch stated that
REID Marshal Oyama had crossed the
falu river, and the last time he was re-
ported repulsed was October %, when 1T
was asserted that both sides lost 5000
men In an engagement, which resulted
IN The Japanese being driven southwark.
IL the Japanese have been so uniformly
successful in their operations against the
OOhlnese, 1t is difficult to understand how
they have SO many of their soldiers
wounded and already sent to the rear.
a dispatch from Chemulpo, October ~,
announced that | 800 wounded Japanese
mad arrived there. 1t is asserted there
was large number of japanese wounded
at Seoul, and il is stated 2 100 wounded
Japanese soldiers had already been sent
oack to that country. Surprising large
would show that the whereabouts OF
about 5000 wounded are already known
at Chemulpo, and it is safe to assume
THIS number does not include those en-
gagged in the recent fights said to have
occurred about the Yalu river.

NO MORE LOG RATS.
They Are Not Suited to the Long Pacific
SwelIs.

They Are Not Suited to the Long facihc
Swells.
SAN FRANCIsCo, October 27.-W. E.
Baines, one of the owners OF the log raft
which is now scattered along the coast
north OF Cape Blanco, is in the city.
"This makes the second venture OF
the kind which has failed" said he in
an interview. 81 don't think that an
other raft will be constructed on TINS
coast. Such things do very well on the
Atlantic, but we have long swell here,
which severely tries a log structure and
makes it's transportation over long ocean
distances extra hazardous. The swell
was partially to blame for the loss OF our
raft. A northwest storm struck 1T ana,
acting upon the swell, really made two
seas. Besides that we only had one tug,
when we ought to have had two or three
to do the towing. The cigar-shaPe Is
the only practical one | know Of, but
there is not any particular model that
will resist the motion OF the Pacific. To
get long raft here from the lumber
country up north is a mere matter OF
lnck. From that fact am led to believe
that the present system of saving lum-
Der on the ground and shipping 1t south
on schooners will be perpetuated."
