Field Rotations.

W. @. Latta, writing from the 1ndi:.
ana station, where experiments are be-
ing conducted in field rotations, says
that the indications are that the longer
rotations will give better satisfaction
than the shorter ones. A common rota-
tion in Indiana is the three course one,
consisting of corn, wheat and clover, in
the order named. Mr.. Latta objects to
this on account Of: (1) The small variety
Of food. furnished for live stock. (2) The
steady drain upon the soil resources if
the grain is sold. ~ The failure to
equalize we'll the demands Of the crops
on the soil as would be accomplished
BY q longer rotation.
A four course rotation consists of
corn and oats each one year and grass
two years. This rotation is we'll adapt
ed to stock farming on black prairie
soils, which do not produce good wheat.
If the crops are all fed out on the farm,
as would probably be the case, this ro-
tation would maintain the soil in very
good condition.

most daring holdups ever known in this
section took place here. Three armed
men entered the Burlington, Cedar Rap

night agent with their revolvers, de-
manding all the railroad money in the
safe. Agent Steese was taken at dis
advantage, and Immediately handed
over the money, which was but 80 or

to give up small sum Of money. The
trio were, arrested and jailed.

The tIikadO's Birthday.

The Japanese in the United States,
who have for the past year or two ob-5
served with festivities the anniversary
of their enperor's birthday, will do so
with unusual satisfaction this time. Els
imperial majesty, Mikado Mutsu Hito,
was born Nov. 3, 1862, and it is, there
fore, his forty third birthday his subjects
now celebrate. He is a young sovereign
as yet compared to m ost Of those at pres
ent in power. He has been miEado 30
years, while Queen Victoria has been on
her throne So years, yet this plucky
young ruler has accomplished what the
whole British nation has been unable to
do-he has abolished the political power
Of his hereditary house Of lords. Before
his time the hereditary lords practically
controlled legislation in Japan, Gs they
today practically control legislation IN.
Great Britain, and their influence was
wholly against modern reforms, exactly
as it is to this day in England. The
mikado, being in the beginning absolute
ruler, promulgated decree that the
lords should have no more hereditary
political power. Then Of his own accord
he gave his people a constitution and a
vote, which they prize today much moro
highly than some American freemen do
theirs
The question of the lords settled itself
in Japan in an easy and graceful way,
which is to be commended to Eng land.
The lords; being shorn Of hereditary pos
litical power, simply changed naturally
into social aristocracy, and became
the most ornamental creatures in the
empire. They still retain their titles
and transmit them to their children.
England may learn from Japan what to
do with her lords. It is questionable,
however, if the British lords would DO
as ornamental as the Japanese mobiles

Wintering Bees.

indispensable requisites for success
full wintering are good laying queen,
some 80 pounds Of good sealed honey
and enough bees to cover the combs. :"
The foregoing is quoted from The Farm
Journal, which says: r11'. .....4 -.
The fall is the proper time to pack
bees and to keep them in good condition
all winter. This can be easily done, as
we have frequently said, by putting the
hive proper in box Of such dimensions
as to leave some two or three inches Of
space between the walls, which may be
packed with wheat chaf or dry sawdust
A cover over this, with tunnel for the
bees to get out, is all that is necessary
to give ample protection to the bees. In
the absence Of such protection, few
sheaves Of corn fodder or bundles Of
straw will be Of great benefit, providing
the hives are well protected against ro-
dents at their entrances. =

The corn harvester and binder has
been fully tried on many farms, and in
some instances it is not as satisfactory as
it might be. If the corn is very tall, the
binder cannot be adjusted to sufficient
height to place the band at the middle
of the stalks, and when the bundle is
shocked it spreads out like fan and
gives the shocker grief. Again, when
the binding is done while the stalks are
green, the band will be slack when
the bundle has become dry or willis.
These obstacles may be overcome by the
manufacturer perhaps by placing two
bands about the bundles instead Of one
or by making the harvester SO as to raise
or lower the point of cutting or that of
binding. Sometimes large ear of corn
will strike the trip and two or three
stalks will be bound in a bundle This
occurs quite often in the course Of the
day-too often, in fact-and to over
come it will require some study and in

Over a Million Dollars worth of
j Land.

Over Million Dollars Worth of
! Land.
OLYMPIA, Wash, Oct. ia decis-
ion against the Northern Pacific rail-
road, in the case involving over mil
lion dollars worth of agricultural and
timber lands in the Grays Harbor
country, north, of, Aberdeen, has been
rendered by the commissioner of the
general land Office. On June 5, 1885,
the Northern Pacific selected the lands
in question, but prior to date date they
had been settled upon by twenty EIGHT
bona fide settlers. On June %, 1895, the
Olympia officers were instructed to no.
tffy these settlers that they would be
allowed thirty days in which to enter
the lands covered by their respective
claims.
All of the twenty-eight applicants
failed to make entries as allowed, and
John F. Soule and others made appli-
cation to file upon the lands, the rights
of the others having been forfeited.
The railway company claimed as they
had selected the lands prior to the ap-
plication of the second list of settlers,
it was entitled to the land in the event
Of original applicants losing their
rights. The commissioner holds that
the rights of the first applicants did
not expire until July of this year, and
that the railroads selection was prior
to- that date and did not hold.
The commissioner awards to Soule
& Co. the right to prove upon the
lands.

ON PROTECTIVE LINES,
Senator Sherman on the Sessional
Possibilities.

fOSSE
WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
Sherman arrived in Washington this
morning and expects to return to Ohio
tomorrow. In an interview he said:
Times are better than they were.
The business conditions have i'm
proved over what they have been, but
in it there is no substantial revival
and no promise of return of general
prosperity under the present circum-
stances. In some branches of business
there has been material Improvement,
but the revival is not general"
DO you expect congress to do any
thing this winter to improve the situ-
ation?''
THAT depends on the president. The
Republicans have complete power in
the house, but uncertain power in the
senate. I think something can be
done, but it will depend on the presi-
dent
you mean in the way of increasing
tariff revenue?'
Yes; something could probably be
done in that direction. Whatever Is
done must be on protective lines, how
ever, and If there is any tariff IegisIa-
ton 1t will include a duty on WOOL"
. He would not discuss the outlook for
financial legislation. To the question
will the Republicans reorganize the
senator" he replied: 1--WE have a
strong plurality in the senate. One
vote would give us the organization.
l do not think, however, that there
will be any struggle over the small
offices. I do not think there will be
any combinations to get the orpa MIA
tions. The most probable thing is a
settlement between the Republicans
and Democrats-a compromise

H1GHLANDERs AND INDIANS.
Rev. DR.. Strictly Says They Are
Very Closely Related.

MOHONK LAKE, N. Y, Oct. 11.-At
the meeting of the Indian association
this morning DR.. Strictly, secretary of
the missionary association, read a pa
per on Scotch Highlanders and Amer
lean Indians which aimed to show that
these two races are closely allied.
Mrs. Elaine Gcodale Eastman re-
ported that the Dakota Indians were
well organized for practical Christian
work. They raised thousands of dol
lars every year, not only to support
native preachers, but also for foreign
missions. Ex-senator Lawes, of Mass
achusetts, then spoke of the Indian
Territory, depicting it's strange and dis
graceful condition. The territory was
a form of government by itself, inde-
pendent of the United States. Some
30o, 000 white people are now living in
the territory, he said, but they have
no interest in so much as a foot of
soil, and their children are excluded
from the public schools. The Indians
are no further advanced than they
were when they came to the territory
and they are preyed upon by the white
men. 1t was time that the govern
nent took a hand in this matter. Gen.
Morgan, ex-commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, endorsed what the senator had

GROVER STILL LIVES.
He Starts for Washington on
Board the Oneida.

BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass, Oct. IL
There is absolutely no truth in the re-
port circulated late last night that
President Cleveland had been assas-
sinated.
The president and Private Secretary
Thurber left at $50 o'clock this even
ing on board the Oneida, Commodore
E. c. Benedicts steam yacht, which
arrived here yesterday for the purpose
of taking the president back to Wash
ington. With favorable weather the
party should reach their destination
on Monday. Mrs. Cleveland and the
children will leave Gray Gables for
the White house early next week. The
president and his family have had one
of the pleasantest, as well as one of
the longest, seasons ever spent here.
and all of them are in good health, as
the result of their long vacation. Mr..
Cleveland especially has been greatly
benefited, and declares that he is fully
recuperated and in splendid physical
condition. He certainly never looked
better.
This, the last day of the presidents
stay here, was spent in fishing in COM
pany with Secretary Thurber. They
started for the fishing grounds at
about 8 o'clock this morning, return
ing during the afternoon.
