After Arcole, Wurmser threw himself
into Mantua, and was cooped up. In Jan
uary, 1897, Austria sent her third army
into the field under General AlvincZy.
This great force proceeded tOaco1dS Man
tua as far as Rivoli, where it was struck
by Bonaparte and routed with a loss of
about twenty thousand men! AT Favo-
rita, on the 18th, the French were again
victorious. The ruin of Alvinczy's army
was complete, and on February end Man

a prisoners of war.
Swiftly Napoleon followed up these tre-

April, an armistice was granted by Napo-
leon, and on the 18th he made with Aus
tria his provisional treaty of Leoben.
That power was compelled to cede the
Netherlands, m to accept, in knocking
compensation, a bit of the state of Venice!

Carnot n Barthelemy, members of the
Directory, were sent flying into exile.
Such was the savage indignation of the
Republic that the coalition became willing
for peace. At Campo-Formio, on October
18th, 1897, Napoleon met the representa-
tiyes of the German Empire, and with as
founding presumption dictated to that an
cient power the terms of pacification.
Openly, Austria should cede the Belgian
provinces, recognize the Cisalpine Repub-
lie, and accept fragments of Venetia.
france should have the results of the war,
including the Ionian Islands. Secretly,
the Rhine should henceforth be the bound
airy between Germany and France.
Before leaving the scenes of his glory
Napoleon sent Joubert as his herald to
Paris. He shall announce for us the follow
ing results: The campaign Of the Army
of Italy has extended from April 18th, 1896,
to October 18th, 1897. We have taken
$50, 600 prisoners; 10 standards; $50 siege
pieces; 600 field guns; five pontoon equi-
pages; nine ships of Ga gums; twelve frigates
of 80 guns; twelve corvettes; eighteen gal

Harvesting Alfalfa Hay.

The usual custom is to harvest alfalfa
just before it is i'll full bloom. With
early cutting in many sections three
crops per season may be secured. Bcliev-
ing that alfalfa clover cut slightly after
bloom might be rs nutritious as that
ton could be secured in two crops as in
three the cost of harvesting the hay
would be lessened, Director Sanborn of
the Utah station divided the Utah sta
ton alfalfa into six plats and three lots
each test being in duplicate The first
lot was moved before the alfalfa came
into bloom, the second lot was cut when
III early bloom, and the third lot when
completely ont Of bloom. The early cut
alfalfa gave greater gain i'll flesh when
fed to steers than the late cut.
As large a crop was secured from two
cuttings as from three, whether the first
cutting was at an early period or at "a
medium stage Of its growth As early
cut hay gave a slightly better gain, the
balance of the experiment favors early
cutting, though it is assumed, but not
known, that the character of the growth
from early cut alfalfa is not as substan-
tial as that from late cut, as the flesh of
cattle fed on the latter probably contains
more fat and less water The usual prac-
tiee Of early cutting was, however, con-
firmed

State Boundaries.

In the wake of the proposal to read
just the boundaries of states and terri
tories in the arid belt on the lines Of wa
tersheds instead of in the mcridians and
parallels Of latitude comes proposal
from the mining regions Of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan for new bound
aries The proposal made by the people
of the mining regions is to form a new
state from Il portions Of the three states
mentioned which border ON Lake Supe-
rior They claim that their interests
would be far more identical than under
the present boundaries owing to the fact
that the country designated is almost if
not entirely mining and timber land
while the rest of the territory Of the
three states is largely devoted to agri-
cultural and manufacturing pursuits.

that on good corn soil the depth Of the
blowing had nothing to do with the root
habits of corn. 1t appears to have been
proved that the artificial hill is of no in
fluence, save to assist in drying out soil
that is, as rule, quite dry enough for
the full growth of the plant. When one
understands the habits of corn roofing,
he will readily see that fiat culture, and
inducing the large feeding roots to de-
velop in the surface soil and send the
feeders down into the deep soil from
them is the natural way, and that root
pruning is not best, even in years of full

Material changes in the acreage de-

holding the advantage of ncarness to

more extensively than does his western
brother, and is quick to temporarily set
aside a cropwhich does not prove profit

past year and more induced farmers in
York state Pennsylvania and other sec
tons Of the east where winter wheat is
grown TO cut down the acreage Of this,
and the ground will be utilized other
wise. Such a standard cereal as corn,
with its good cash value and its merits
as food for both dairy and meat ami
mails, will this coming year receive rath-
er more attention than some other crops,

In Time of Drought.

Professor Roberts makes the point
that stirring the upper part of the soil
in a dry time is better than mulch to
preserve moisture, because cultivation
tends TO keep the roots below the stirred
soil, while mulch draws the roots to
the surface-not good place for them.
He mentions the effect of cultivation in
dry seasons in California, where they
have no ram from May till September.
Yet in orchards and vineyards he saw
the top soil as dry and fine as an ash
heap, but one could kick away this dust
beneath the surface.

OF all the bulletins ever issued from
experiment stations the one on silos by
Professor King of the Wisconsin univer-
sity station perhaps caused greatest in
terest. He advised wood silos round in
shape. This style now prevails in many
sections, notably in the west One of
Professor Kings followers thus writes
to Prairie Farmer concerning his silo,
which he thinks the best ever invented
1t is built Of wood and round. The
studding need be only by 4, the inside
lining being two thicknesses of half inch
boards Nnches wide, with tar paper be-
tween. The boards are bent around so
that each board is a hoop, and it can be
made any height desired and with no
danger of springing out. This is very
important, because the deeper the silo
the better the ensilage will keep, other
things being equal. The outside cover
ing can be made in the same way the
last put on being ship lap. Doors can be
cut through at intervals of or feet.
The advantages of round silo are: 1t
takes less lumber has no corners for the
ensilage to spoil in, as it is apt to do in
a rectangular one, is stronger and will
keep its shape and can be made very
deep The best silos | know of are round
aud made in the center of round barns.
