Where oats are sown early in field

the latter will often blossom and bear
seed before the oats are ready to be
harvested. A Canada thistle in bios
som will ripen its seed if the whole
stalk is cut and allowed to dry with it.
Fortunately, the Canada thistle will
send up its spires for blossoms several
days before the oats begin to head out.
1t is easy then to go through the field,
and with long, sharp knife lop off the
heads of all the thistles which will
tower six or eight inches above the
oats. The work must be done within
two or three days, as the oats head
out very quickly after the thistles, and
both must grow together until the har-

TAKING OFF HIDES.
A Few Variable suggestions Which
May Save You Many Dollars
in the Future.

Let us give a few hints, which, if
carefully observed, may save many dol
lars in the future. In skinning beef
hides and calfskins keep the back Of
the knife close to the hide, and draw
it tightly with the left hand This is a
simple rule, but by following it the
liability to cut or score is considerably
lessened' On the foreleg the knife
should go down to the armpit, So
called, and then forward to the point
of the brisket. On the hind legs the cut
should be made from the hoof of one.
down the back of the leg, semcircular-
ly across from one to the other, and on
to the hoof. The throat should never
be cut crosswise, and the horns and
tail bones should always be removed.
The operation of sailing is equally
important. To salt hides thoroughly a
water bucket full of good salt should
be used to each 60-pound hide, the
quantity for larger and smaller hides
being in proportion. After this they
should be rubbed and rolled up. indie.
pendent of cuts and scores hides
which are not taken off in the manner
specified are classed as No. rs, and if
dried on fences or exposed to the sun
or weather are only fit for the glue
maker.
A butchers skinning knife should
always be used and no employee should
be permitted to take off hides with-
out one, as the loss from ore hole in a
hide would buy several such knives.
These few rules are simple enough, but
their adoption means "a great deal TO

THAT MANILA STORY
Hay Denies Authority Of Statement
That the City Had Fallen

LONDON, June 13.-The United
states ambassador here, Colonel John
Hay, says there is no foundation for the
statement that he is responsible for the
story published in the United States to
the effect that Manila had fallen.
secretary Briggs of the Manila Rail-
way Company, who is in constant com
munication with Manila discredits the
rumors IN circulation as to the surren-
der of that place. He received a cable
message from Manila yesterday. via.
Hongkong, reporting that the road was
working, and no mention was made of
the city having surrendered
Mr.. Briggs believes the Spaniards
would surrender to Rear Admiral
Dewey in preference to being conquered
by the insurgents. The Secretary is in
formed that full understanding exists
between Admiral Dewey and the insur-
gents, and it is generally believed at
Hongkong and Manila that before
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader. con-
sented to return to Manila, he secured
pledges that the United States would
not leave him in the lurch by returning
the Philippine Islands to the Spaniards.
referring to the Spanish tales of al
legged Insurgent atrocities, Mr. Briggs
says they are utter nonsense. He adds
that the natives of the Philippine ISL
ands are the mildest people in the
world, and asserts that all the Euro
peans there We're surprised that they
mustered up courage enough to revolt.

the dismounted cavalry with the expe-
dition will be mounted later in Cuba,
either with a stock of native horses, or
mounts that will be sent from this
country. Owing to the mountainous
and jungle-like character of the coun-
try back of Santiago where the troops
must operate, there will be little op-
portunity for the use of cavalry, so
that the expedition has not been weak
ened, in the opinion of experts, by with
holding the cavalry mounts at the be-
ginning of the campaign.
The troops will arrive off Santiago

Der of marines now at Guantanamo

entirely satisfactory to the officials
here. While no advices have yet reach
ed the Navy Department of the attack
made on the marine force by Spanish
guerrillas Saturday night, there is no
disposition to question the accuracy of
the press reports. 1t cannot be said
that the attack caused surprise here,
but It was plain to be seen that it in
dicated to the officials some ugly possi-
bilities for the future 1t is apparent
for one thing that regular organiza-
tions Of troops fighting, according to
established methods, are destined to
meet with severe loss at the hands of
guerrilla bodies such as the Spanish
guerrillas, who evidently have taken a
cue from the Cubans' practice, and are
conducting something like Indian war
fare in the jungles. One of the most
annoying features attending this style
of warfare is the worry imposed upon
the soldiers, for a few score irregulars
