There is nothing new regarding the
fate Of the men who went ashore from
the United States cruiser Concord q
few days since, near Chin Kiang, on
a hunting expedition. The original
report to the Navy Department was
that o small party of officers and
marines went ashore at the port
named and had been seized and
carried OF by natives, because one
Of the Concord's officers accident
ally shot native while hunting and
up to this time nothing is known
regarding their fate.
The Commander of the Concord
has sent marines properly officered
ashore to rescue their comrades ut
all hazards, and il the capturing
Chinese are come up with, it is sure
that some killing will result. There
Is grave concern felt at the Navy
Department at Washington over the
fate OF the Concord's men, lest they
have been summary dealt with by
the half civilized Chinese whose
prisoners they are. The fact that
the men were taken inland renders
their peril all the greater.

Effects of SubsOil Flowing.

Professor Whitney, says report from
Washington, has been out on the
drought parched prairies digging in the
soil. He has discovered by careful
analysis that the subsoil of Nebraska is
practically as rich as the top soil, save
that it has more clay. He has found
that subsoil blowing guards against the
evil effects of drought. Farmers who
adopt subsoiling, or what is called in
tense farming, get good results even in
years Of drought. The subsoil holds the
moisture and yields it up when most
needed.
What the western farmer needs to be
taught, says Prairie Farmer, is that no
great improvement in the ancient art Of
blowing has been made in good many
centuries and that the time has come
for him to stop tickling the surface
merely and to go down into the base of
the soil. If he goes on making the shall
low burrows with plows, which harden
the surface behind them and make ev-
ely pillow mark ditch to carry the wa.
ter off the field when the torrential
rains come, he will 60 on losing his
crops in the drought years, just as the
western Nebraska farmers have lost
their crops two years in succession. Al
ready through the hints given by the
agricultural department. deep blowing
has made some progress, and manufac-
turers report all extraordinary demand
for subsoil plows.

spondeut Of The American Bee Journal,
who in 1870 discarded the old box hive
in favor of the ten frame Langstroth
hive, gives his experience in hives az
follows:
The ten frame Langstroth hive gavo
me good returns, but wanted to do bet

his small pamphlet on his "New Idea
Hive I applied the "idea'' to the
Langstroth frame. Adair's frame was
close fitting all around, something like
section. made dozen of these hives
holding from 20 to 40 frames. These
hives I worked exclusively for extracted
honey, but when the season was over
and the results summed up I found I
got no better returns from them than
did from my ten frame hives.
For several years past have been ex-
perimenting with the eight frame hive,
and these experiments have taught me
that there is limit to hive space, modi-
fed somewhat by locality, which must
be observed in order to obtain the more
favorable results. In my locality the
honey flow proper commences about the
1st Of April and lasts till the middle of
June, after which there is a dearth of
nectar till the 1st Of September, when
the fall flowers appear. The bees in the
eight frame hives would put the surplus
in the sections in the second story and
not leave enough in the brood chamber
to keep up the working force of the COL
ony for the fall pasture. The result was
deficiency Of stores and a necessity to
feed to enable them to pull through the
winter. When spring came, they were
weak, and by the time they built up
the best of the honey season was over,
but they did not so consider it and
would proceed to cast off an abundance
Of unreasonable swarms.
Summing up my experience on the
hive question:, am satisfied that, for
most locations, hive Of nine or ten
frames is as small as can be proftably
used for either comb or extracted honey.
By the way, I use two story hive. The
second story is devoted to either comb
or extracted honey, and for my manipu-

XI.--CoNQUEsT OF EGYPT.
Bonaparte returned to Paris on the
9Th of December, 1907. His coming
was heralded. The democratic Direct
DRY must receive him in the name Of
the people; but the act of hero-w orship
was embarrassing. The people Of Paris
must have spectacle; and the Jacobin
administration must glorify the hero of
Italy. Arrangements were made at the
Luxembourg Palace for q reception
first of many such-to the child Of tho
Republic.
The court of the palace was splendid
~ decorated; and the elite gathered for
the welcome. The occasion was not
without it's peril to Napoleon. He must
bear himself like true democrat-be-
ginning to be idolized. Symbolical stat
ues of Liberty, Equality, and Peace
were set up in the hall where hung the
memorial banner commemorating the
victories and spoils Of the Italian cam
paign. There, too, was placed all altar
Of the Fatherland. Beautiful women
thronged the galleries. The Directory
sat to receive the conqueror. Talleyrand
introduced the young general to the as
sembly. The statesman's speech was
long, fattering and casuistical. To one
paragraph was added this significant
clause: "Far from experimenting any
thing from his Napoleon 81 ambition, I
believe that we shall one day be obliged
to solicit him to tear himself from the
pleasures of studious retirement. All
France will be free; but perhaps he
ncvcr ,ctll; such is his destiny" Bar
ras, president of tho Directory, also
spoke. Napoleon bore himself with
great modesty, prononncing brief
speech Of congratulations on the i'm
proved condition Of France.
The reference to 'studious retire.
ment' in Talleyrand's address was not
bad. 1t was an allusion to Bonaparte's
election to membership in the National

Institute of France. This was an honor
of which he was very proud. In accept.
ing the distinction, he said, referring to
the members of the Institute, II feel as
sured that before I can be their equal l
must long be their scholar. True con-
quests the only ones which leave no
regret behind them-are those which
are made over ignorance. The most hon
orable occupation for nations is the con-
tributing to the extension of human
knowledge. The true power Of the
French Republic should henceforth be
made to consist in not allowing single
new idea to exist without making it "a
part of its property" For some time
after this, Napoleon was wont to sign
himself, Member of the National lnsti-
tutc.
Such ceremonies as those attending
his reception in Paris were always re-
garded by Bonaparte as so much num-
mery-quite necessary in the makeup
Of glory; but very cheap. Not month
elapsed before the General became rest
less to degree. TO Bourrienne, his Sec
rotary, he said: "Bourrionne, I do not
wish to remain here; there is nothing
to do They the Directory are unwill-
ing to listen to anything. I see that if l
linger here, shall soon lose myself.
Everything wears out here; my glory
has already disappeared. This little

Lannes, and Sulkowsky with me. If
the success Of descent on England ap-
pear doubtful, as suspect it will, the
Army Of England shall become the
Army Of the East; Twill 60 to Egypt. "
Bonaparte was now made commander
of the new army, which was alleged to
be intended for an invasion Of England.
On the whole, it seems that he never
seriously contemplated descent on the
English coast. He was too prudent for
that. But he lent himself to, the popu-
lar within, and made as though he
would invade the British Isles The

Harvesting Alfalfa Hay.

Line usual custom is TO harvest alI1lI1
just before it is in full bloom. With
early cutting in many sections three
crops per season may be secured. Believ.
ing that alfalfa clover cut slightly after
bloom might be as nutritious as that
cut in bloom, and that if as much nutri-
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
in early bloom, and the third lot VIXEN
completely out Of bloom. The early cut
alfalfa gave a greater gain in flesh when
fed to steers than the late cut.
AS large crop was secured from two
cuttings as from three, whether the first
cutting was at an early period or at a
medium stage Of it's growth. AS early
cut hay gave 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-
tice of early cutting was, however, con-
firmed.
The Best Silos.
Of all the bulletins ever issued from

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
It is built Of wood and round. The
studding need be only 2 by 4, the inside
lining being two thicknesses of half inch
boards inches 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 8 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 i'll

deep. The best silos know of are round
and made in the center of round barns.

CUTTING AND CURING CLOVER.
A Plan by Which Perfect Hay Can Z,
Made without . TeGider. Z.

Made Without Tetider.
AS many farmers do not possess a hay
tedder and most plans described by agri-
cultural writers include one, the follow
ing from correspondent OF Country
Gentleman ought to be read with inter-
est. He writes:
give a plan which has been in every
way q success for years, and have no
hay tedders. First, clover should be cut
as soon as it shows the blossoms well
and before all Of it is in bloom. The
time of day when cut has much to do
with successful curing never start
the machine in clover until the dew is
off and then NOW it, and in the heat of
the day, when it is partially wilted, rake
it and put up in not too large cocks
These are generally left untouched one
day, and if the weather is not first class
hay weather they stand until the second
day, and then are opened out, not very
thin, but in such way that the air can
get through it and the sun not dry it too
much.
After a short time the clover is put in
the barn, where it can be kept as much
as possible from air drawing through it.
When it can be done, put in and fill the
storage place as soon as possible, then
put some straw or old hay on the top
and you have something to absorb all
the moisture that comes from the fresh
cut clover and will have none on top
black or moldy.
Should you get field cut and in the
cock and few days rain come, it should
be cooked over, and by this means it can
be kept from coloring badly and getting
musty. If one had caps to cover when
cccked up, there would perhaps be no
necessity Of cooking over, yet I should
not use the hay caps in fairish weather,
as the hay will sweat and cure out bet
ter uncovered. Glover cut at the time
mentioned and cured as directed will
come out Of the NOW as bright and green
as when put in.

Cultural Note on Corn.

On most soils one deep blowing is all
q corn crop requires, and this should be
done before planting. After this, fire.
quent shallow stirring of the soil is all
that is needed, and the frequency is of
as much Importance as the shallowness.
Once week for month is not too often
to stir the surface, and this can be easily
done with implements that enable one
to go over several acres day. 1t is
an instructive experiment. to take few
rows through the field and give them one
or two workings more than the rest and
note tho results, says Texas Farm and
