sn,i,g % Corn Fodder.

The enormous annual waste OF corn
fodder can be partly accounted for by
the hard labor generally required to
cut and shock corn. Cutting corn Is
one of the hardest jobs on the farm
and In many Of the principal corn re-
gions there Is generally scarcity of la-
Dor available for this purpose. There.
fore machine labor must be substituted
for hand labor. For n number Of years
inventors have been at work on ma
chiifefy for cutting corn, and manufac
turers are turning out corn harvcstcrs
that do very satisfactory work. With
one of these latest improved corn hnr,
vestcrs drawn by n steady horse, two
men can cut from 200 to 300 shocks of
corn day. and the cost OF cutting an
acre of corn is less than onc-fourth that
by the old system. A greater advantage
than the saving OF labor and reducing
the cost Is that the work can he done
In shorter time. To secure the full food
value of cornfodder the corn should be
cut. like wheat, just when II Is ready.
II allowed 10 stand until too ripe or
frost-bittcn, there Is n great loss of d.
gestiblc matter. Corn harvesting
should proceed as rapidly as wheat har.
vesting That the advantages of corn
harvesters are appreciated Il attestcd
by their large and yearly increasing
Use. The use OF the present style will
Increase until Inventors produce ma
chine OF modern cost that will cut and
shock corn without the assistance OF
hand labor at all.-Ficld and Farm.

clnnatl will take lively interest In the
political campaign this fall. 1t will not
put an Independent ticket In the field
as was at first proposed. but will wait
until the regular Republican and Demo.

league Will make selection Of those can

Will try to get pledges from legislative
nominees to support certain measures In
the Interest OF reforms which are looked
upon by the league as necessary to the
proper enforcement of law In Clncin-
natl.
There are three measures which the
league has determined upon.
1t will strike of the Imprisonment
clause In the eases of Sunday and mid
night law violntors. leaving the penalty
n fine. This will In effect do away with
police court juries and throw the re-
sponslblllty directly on the Judge. As
the law is at present. the juries will not
convict because public sentiment does
not approve Of the Imprisonment pen
atty.
1t will refuse an offender bond on the
occasion OF his second arrest the same
day for the repetition Of an ofYensc. This
looks to the absolute closing OF saloons

DR. Endicott Maksa Report ON the CHI
nose Massacre.

DR. Endicott Maksa a Report ON the Chi
ness Massacre.
Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 19.-The Ledger
received to-day by mail from Shanghai
the first copy to reach this country OF
the report Of Rev. DR.. ]. Endicott, ID.
D., who was delegated by the Ameri-
can and Canadian missionaries to inves-
tlgate and report upon the Cheng Tu
riots In Szechuan province. The re-
port is lengthy and gives detailed &C
count of the troubles, corroborating the
Associated Press reports. DIR. Endlcott
went to China from Winnipeg two
years ago. being sent by the Canadian
American Missionary society.
On May q, the day before the out
break In Cheng TIL. he, together with
his wife, and DR.. Hare left Cheng Tu
for Kai Tung, 100 miles away. They
did not learn of the trouble until June
l, when several boatloads OF the ChenH
Tu mob went to Kai Tung and began
to incite trouble. As the officials re-
fused to afford any protection. the par
ty went down the river with numerous
other missionaries to Shanghai, where
DR.. Endicotts report was finished
three weeks ago.
DR.. Endicott's conclusions are briefly
as follows:
'"The history Of past riots does not
encourage us to hope for much In the
way Of discovering the real origin Of
these. The officials had ample power In
their hands to quell the riot ut Its very
beginning. for there was an abundance
Of soldiers with arms and ammunition
at Cheng Tu. Had the officials been
friendly some Of these forces would
have been quickly utilized to quell tho
disturbances. The vicerOy Is directly
responsible for the riots. He Is known
to be anti-foreign."
The report states that crisis has
been reached In mission operations, that
foreign nations should change their POI,
Icy to- give the mandarlns ITO underf
stand that they must treat Americans,
British and other nations with respect
and afford them protection; that unless
this Is done the future outlook before
the missionaries who labor in the inter
Tor Of China will be dark indeed.
He concludes: "a money compensa
ton for the loss OF property is not suf
ficient to meet demands OF the case. The
condemnation Of the viceroy Is worth
Infinitely more. Mt this juncture than
millions OF money"

THE CORN CROP.


A special to the New York World
from London says: "a correspondent
talked with several leading experts at
the Baltic exchange, the headquarters
of the British corn trade, on the pros
pect Of the British corn crop and the
amount Of American corn likely to be re-
CURED. Some prominent brokers' dc
clared that the River Plata holds the
key to the situation, and reports from
there promised very large surplus crop
OF both maize and wheat.
The Danube district reports an In.
mense crop as against an abnormally
small one last season, and the view gen
orally expressed was that however low
American prices may be, the Danube
will undersell them.
The British crop is expected to be gen
orally below the average. Last year
the Imports Of American corn were on
ly $780, 55 bushels. This year there
ought to be four or five times as much
But the best Informed opinion, far as
1t has taken shape at all. points to cx.
cesslvely low prices next season, though
1t is admitted that the Americans may
succeed in putting up prices. II con "
lions be favorable.
