SOIL CULTURE.
Model Farms Established In Kansas and
Nebraska Of Interest to Farmers.

Model Farms Established In Kansas and
Nebraska Of Interest to Farmers.
The attention that soil culture Is receIy.
Ing in the west has determined the Bur.
hngton Railroad company to establish q
number of experimental stations or "mod-
el farms" In Kansas and Nebraska In or
der to demonstrate the advantage of the
most improved methods of soil culture and
to lead the farmers Of Kansas and Nebras-
ka TO new efforts in this direction and en-
able them to become independent, even in
30 called drought sections and "dry
years"
Incidentally the company expects re-
turns from It's investments In increased
and regular crops, necessitating heavy
freight and passenger traffic. Mr.. John
Francis has just returned from trip over
Nebraska and Kansas, where he has estab-
hshed model farms at Oberlin, Kan. and
at McCook, Holdredge, Alma and Broken
Bow, Neb
Something was done In this line BY the
company last year and with immensely
satisfactory results. The farms consist az
4o acres In each station, under the imme-
diate supervision of practical and tried
farmer OF the neighborhood. Each farm
VIII be visited frequently by one Of the
learned corps Of professors under Professor
Campbell, all of whom are skilled In the
new method.
Nebraska and Kansas farm staples
corn, wheat, rye, oats and potatoes-will
be produced. The farming at the experj-
mental stations Is conducted primarily ON
the theory that tho rainfall of the west is
ample for all practical farming purposes,
but that, owing 10 capillary attraction, !
the moisture escapes from the earth before |
lt performs its proper and desired func-
tions. The new method will contribute 60 |
retard the action cF natures law at critic
al moments and retain the moisture. ST.

WILL SHARE IT'S PROFITS.
The Illinois Central Road Inauguratss Z
Cooperative Scheme.

The Illinois Central Road Inauguratss q
Cooperative scheme.
For the first time In the history Of rail-
roading railroad employees have been Of
fered an opportunity to try profit sharing
with the road for which they work. The
Illinois Central, one Of tho greatest rail-
way corporations in the world, has just
decided to adopt the system, though In o
somewhat curious fashion
In an announcement to it's employees 10
offers to permit any one In It's employ TO
purchase shares Of stock of the company
alta figure far below the regular market
rate Quotations will change with each
month, and these changes will be made
known TO the heads of the Central's de-
partments The price made at the begin
ming of eacb month will stand until the
first Of the month succeeding
An employees purchasing stock or n share
can pay down II he chooses, or in INSTALL
ments OF So per month or any multiple of
90. When the share of stock-for only one
share can be taken at time--is paid for
the subscribing employee receives from
the company n certificate Of the share.
which Is registered In his name on the
corporations books. just as soon as this
Is done the purchase of another share
may begin in tho same way, and 90 on
without limit. The certificates of stock
thus purchased arc transferable ON the
company's books and entitle the owner TO
such dividends as the board of directors
niay declare, and also give him the priyi-
lege OF vote In the election of these Same
directors who vote the dividend.
The marked advantage to the employees
who takes this, offer is evidenced by the
fact that oil during the time he is paying
by installments for a single share he will
receive interest on the deposits he makes
at the rate of A per cent per annum, pro-
vided he does not allow 10 consecutive
months to elapse without making any pay-
ment. Should he do this--that a, allow
the lapse referred to-the payment of An. |
terest will cease to accrue, and he will be
given whatever sum he has deposited
he makes application for the
same.

The winter storing Of onions is al

even slight bruises in harvesting.
There will be more or less shrinkago
and a large percentage of these onions
will be lost If the proper care is not
given to ventilation and maintaining
the desired temperature. For these
and other reasons, most growers pre-
fer to dispose of the crop as soon as
possible. and are willing to accept low
prices rather than run the risk of loss
by storage. It Is absolutely essential
for successful winter storing that the
bulbs should be we'll matured, thor
oughly cured, not bruised, and in a per-
fectly dormant state. Most growers
prefer topping the onions before stor-
ing. Sheep shears can be used to adj
vantage in this work, leaving about an
inch Of onion top extending above the
bulb. The sorting can be done by hand
or by means of a screen, the rods or

PHILIPPINE REBELLION.
Spanish Forces Arc in Danger
Final Defeat

Spanish Forces Are in Danger OF
Final Defeat.
San Francisco, Oct. 21.-Advices by
the steamer Peru, from Singapore and
Hong Kong, state up to Sept. q that
the rebellion in the Philippine islands
is much more serious than has been
generally recognized. 1t is said that
the reports Of defeats sent out by
Spanish officers have been greatly ex-
aggerated and that so far the rebels
have more than held their own in the
struggle for independence. 1t is stated
the revolution is now beyond the con-
troll of the Spanish authorities, and
that unless r~einforcements are SEN
to Manila Immediately the Spanish
forces are in danger of final defeat.
The rebels now hold the Province of
Cavite, are well organized and have
5000 Mauser rifles. There are many
natives in the Spanish troops and the
officers are afraid to take native regi-
ments into the interior because their
loyalty is doubted.
The Hong Kong Press says editorial
ly that there is no longer room for the
least doubt that affairs in the Philip
pine islands will in a short time as
sumo the proportions of the Cuban re-
bellion. The natives are determined.
AS each rebel signs an agreement he
writes his name on his arm with blood
and swears vengeance against the
Spaniards. For a long time the ma
tives have been conspiring to over
power the government, and it was
finally decided to make a strong at
tack July Is. Gov. Gen. Blanco was
to be murdered by a native on that day
and it was arranged to swoop sudden
ly down upon the body Of officers who
attended the funeral and kill as many
as possible, then ransack the town of
Manila and take entire possession Of
the place. 1t is due to a woman that
the diabolical plot was discovered.
In the confession she disclosed the plot
