flags, many of which were the stars
and stripes, sewn to union jacks, and
umphal arches, covered with foliage
and bunting in profusion, lamps OF all
colors and prince of Wales feathers in.

shown included Carolus Duran's full
length portrait of the duchess Of Mar1-
borough Formerly Miss Consuelo Van

Shredded Corn Fodder.
Fodder that is to- be shredded should

Fodder that is to be shredded should
not be rum through the machine until
it is entirely dry and well cured. It
would be better over-1ry than not dry
enough Last season at the Indiana
experiment station we shredded all of
our corn fodder and with the most sat
isfactory results. 1T kept well in the;
NOV and was free from mustiness.
The cattle and sheep ate it freely, and
it was used we'll into the spring with
the stock. This fall we will shred
nearly all of our 1895 crop. Shredded
fodder presents several important
points in its favor: First, it is more
economical to feed than the uncut
corn; second, it is eaten cleaner by
stock than most cut fodder, there be-
ing less waste, due to the absence of
the hard, sharp edged, short butt.
pieces of stalks usually found in cut
fodder; third, the refuse makes better
material for bedding than do whole
stalks or cut pieces, being finer and
softer; fourth, it handles far better in
the manure pile than does the entire
stalk; fifth, it does not make the
mouths Of cattle sore, while that of
coarsely cut fodder oftentimes does;
sixth, 1T packs more economically in
the NOW than does uncut 70 dder The
feeding value Of shredded and cut fod-
der is practically the same Shred
ding is coming more and more into
practice, and many farmers ire now
making use of the process Shredders
and hnskers com ined are made, or
the shredders may be bought separ-
ately. Baled shredded corn hay may
now be found in the hay markets and
it furnishes a valuable class Of coarse
food for horses, cattle and sheep. a

HEADS ARE BROKEN.
Lively Free-for-aIl Fight In u Section

Of Cleveland.
Cleveland, Nov 25.-Almost the en-
tire population living on franklin
Avenue Hill, composed largely Of
Slavs and Hungarians, with the ex-
ception of the women and babies,
turned out en- masse last night in an
effort to cut, stab and slash each 9TH
er's heads. In fact it was the blood
lest battle of the year around the river
front and Columbus street districts.
Blood of the ,combatants dyes the.
roadbed Of the Hill and makes for the
time being the scene of battle q re-
voting spectacle. Fully forty men
were in from the start to the finish Of
the engagement. AS far as could be
learned at least twenty persons were
more or less seriously injured, but the,
following arc the only ones whose
names could be learned:
Sylvester Carter, aged 60 years, No!

and six cuts in head; will probably
die. James Carter, 25. No Follett

A number of others We're injured,
but their names cannot be learned.
The riot started on the street between
James Carter and John Sprends over a
very trivial matter. Carter iostled
Sprcnds in passing, which led to angry
words and later on to fight Other
men soon c:,lne upon the scene, among
whom were friends Of both of the
combatants, and within few minutes
there was a throng Of fighting and
cursing men, armed with knives and
clubs, which were. used with bloody
effect. At the height of the fight there
was cry of police as patrol wagon
filled with blue coats came dashing
down the hill. Many Of the partici-
pants in the battle fed, but number
who were rendered unconscious or
too badly injured to escape were
piled into the patrol wagon and taken
TO the police station Others were re-
moved in ambulances to the hospital.
1t is said that there is a broken head
to-day in nearly every house on the
Hill.

Minneapolis Man Bet His Wife
That Bryan Would Win.
Minneapolis, Nov. 25. = A story Of
the queerest election bet yet is floating
around about certain parties in South
Minneapolis. 1t has been solemnly af-
firmed by parties not far from. Fifth
and Washington avenues south, that
Minneapolis man wagered his wife
against 5000 that Bryan would be
elected. The circumstances were Pc
culiar in that they favored this partic-
ular form of bet. 1t so happened that
the wife in question was more ordi-
narily fond of the ian with whom her
husband was betting. The husband
knew this, and there is growing sus-
picion that he considers that he got
the best of the bet when he lost it, At
any rate, the story goes that the man
with the 5000 won the other mans
wife, and all parties concerned are
satisfied

WEY LER In HA VANA
THE CAPTAIN GENERAL SAID TO.
HAVE BEEN SCARED OUT
He Says That 1t Is TOO Hot to Do
i Any Fighting, but 1t Is Openly
Asserted That He Was Frightened
by Maceo Because He Had Set a
Price Upon HIS Head-The City IL
I'm Great Confusion.

New York, Nov. pa dispatch to
the World from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: A cipher cablegram from Ha-
vana to Cuban leader here says
that Gen. Weyler has been forced to
return to Havana and that the city is
III great confusion. Weyler gives no
excuse, it is said, except that it is too
hot and unhealthy for any fighting.
1t is openly asserted in Havana that
Weyler became frightened because
Maceo had set a price upon his head
or his capture. Weyler's scouts in
formed him that Maceo might make
an attempt on Havana and the Span
ish general retreated in hot haste to
the safety Of his palace. 1t is also
stated in the cablegrsm that Weyler's
recall is assured now, as the Spanish
government is incensed against him
for his dilatory tactics. Cubans here
are jubilant, for they thin kthis will
have favorable effect upon congress.
A dispatch to the World from Ha-
vana under date Of Nov. 20 says: The
Competitor prisoners have been tried
by court martial in the Fortress La
Cabana in spite of Consul General
Lees official protest, filed just before
he left Havana. The exceptions taken
the naval courts. Gen. Lees note was
pigeonholed and il. defiance of Secre-
tary Olney's intination of disapproval
the Competitors crew and Mr. Melton,
the American newspaper correspond
ent, have again been tried by drum
head court sitting within the walls Of
Spanish fortress, where, according
to Capt. Gen. Weyler's orders, no rep
resentatiye of the United States con-
sulate may enter. The prisoners were
allowed neither interprt ter nor conn
sci. Those partly acquainted with
Spanish were compelled to interpret
for the others. ~ h.
So quietly was the affair conducted
that Acting Consul General Springer
does not yet know, it is said, that the
case was virtually closed Nov IA, on
which day Melton, Maza, DR.. Vedia
and the witness, George Ferran, were
forced by Naval Judge Fernandez to
sign statements admitting their COM,
plicity in the filibustering expedition
which the Competitor is alleged to
have brought under Monzon and La
borde to the Pinar del Rio coast. This
written evidence is now under consid-
GRAFTON by the court. Judge Saul said
to-day that a decision may be rendered
at any moment. 1t is expected all the
members Of the party whose Ameri-
can citizenship has not been clearly
shown will be shot The bona fide
Americans will probably be sentenced
to from three to ten years imprison-
ment in some Spanish penal station
off the coast Of Africa.

The Texture Of the Soil.

~
D Every good farmer knows that
hard and lumpy soil will not grow good
crops, no matter how much plant food
it may contain, says Prof L. II. Bal
ley, Of Cornell university. A clay soiE
which has been producing good crops
for any number of years may be seri-
ously injured by one injudicious ploW-7
ing IN q wet time so as to ruin it for
the growing of crops for two or three
years. The injury lies in the 1n0difica-
ton of its physical texture mot in the
lessening of it's fertility. A sandy soil
may also be seriously impaired for the
growing of any crop if the humus, or
decayed organic matter, is allowed to
burn out of it. 1t then becomes leachy,a
it quickly loses its moisture, and it be-
comes excessively hot in dry, sunshiny
weather. Similar remarks may besap-
Piled to all soils. That is, the texture
or physical condition of the soil is: al
ways more important than its mere
richness in plant food.
a fnely-divided, mellow, f1iable soil
is more productive than a hard and
lumpy one of the same chemical COM
position. because: 1t holds and re-
talns more moisture; holds more air;.3
presents greater surface to the roots;
promotes nitrification; hastens the de-
composition of the mineral elements;;:
has less variable extremes of tempera-
ture; allows a better root-hold to the.
plant
] IN these ways and others, the mel
looWness of the soil renders the plant
food more available and affords con-
genial and comfortable place III which
the plant may grow.

Weeds as Fertilizers.

/ . II - - IS iF
The University of Virginia has been
experimenting with weeds in order to
determine their value as fertilizers,
taking their proportion of nitrogen,
iphosphor1c acid and potash as the cri-
terion of commercial value Fifty spe-
cies of weeds were taken for the ex-
pertinent, and of these fifty the highest
in value was the common poke berry
| (Phytolocca decandar), which indicated
that q dry ton of this would equal as
manure what would cost sol 90, if the
chemical matters above named had
been bought for manure The lowest
in value Of the fifty thus used for ma
nure would be common panic grass
SPanicum yi1gatum), which would be
worth only $40 per ton, estimated in
the same way. Strange to say, some
iclosely-aIIled species of grass showed
high manurial value The common
crab grass Pancum sanguinale) stands
third on the list, with value Of $3.50
per ton. One very remarkable fact is
the exceptional value of the poke ber-
ry. This is given as $21. 93. while the
next on the list, bitter dock (the COM
mon Rumex obtusifolius) is but $1626;
an the others, down to the paric grass,
following each other in fractions of al
dollar only between them.

| Seed Corn. ss5#
The seed corn has, of course, been
selected before this, but care needs to-
be taken that it becomes thoroughly
dry before it is allowed to freeze, if it
cannot be kept where it will not freeze,
at all. In this connection it may be,
well to say that a farmer says he is
accustomed to hanging his seed corn
after it is dry in the attic over the.
kitchen and near the chimney. There
is an opening in the floor over the
stove, and as nearly above the open
ing as he can he hangs the corn, where
all the smoke and odors from the
kitchen will come in contact with it
during the winter, and he is satisfied
that it makes the corn distasteful to
after planting Seed corn should not
be shelled until near planting time.
Farm Notes.
"A farm cannot be worn out if prop
serly rotated.
Fall blowing is one of the best pre-
5Yentives of weeds.
Before manuring ground 1t is well to
study the soil and what element OF
fertility is most needed.
The prosperous farmer is diligent at
all seasons of the year. .
Never build your root house or cell
lar under your dwelling, because this
is the most announcement place you can
select.
& There having been some question
raised as to the advantage Of mulch
ing trees we would recommend that
farmers make the experiment OF
smulching some and leaving some not
mulched.
The farmer should manage to store
his roots SO that they will keep with
out deteriorating in quality. This is
best done by the cold storage plan,
but it is difficult for the farmer to
have a cold storage house. The next
thing to this is a well ventilated root
house.
