corn. Kaffir corn is harder and grit
tier. and needs more grinding than its
rival. Neither cattle nor swine make
as great growth in weight while be-
ing fed for market on Kaffir corn as
on the cd time feeds, but an exhaust
i've experiment, made by the State
Agricultural College in Kansas in 1896,
revealed that when cattle and hogs are
fed together, red Kaffir corn (the white
Ksffir corn not being SO nutritious as
the red) is the best ration that can be
used on the farm. That part of the
product that the cattle fail to use in
beef making the hogs absorb, and the
minimum waste results. Elaborate
tables have been made showing the
superiority of Kaffir corn to all other
kinds of corn for the Western farmer,
all based upon the fact that it is
drouth resister, that it has the power
to grow again after it has taken .
forced rest, and. that it does not
become "ired," as ordinary corn does,
in a time of hot winds.
A remarkable thing about alfalfa
and Kaffir corn has been demonstrated
in the experiments at the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, and that is that
twenty pounds of alfalfa hay and eight
pounds of Kaffir corn make the, "ideal
daily ration" for COWS.

taken arms openly and spontaneously

might not have had time to organize
themselves into reg ular corps or regi-
ments.
If, for instance, the owner of farm
or plantation in Cuba, who prefers
Spanish tyranny to American protec-
lion, openly arms his family, his re-
tanners and himself for the purpose of
resisting American Intervention, he is
entitled to be treated as bora tide
belligerent; whereas, if under the guise
of friendship he lures the American
troops into m ambush, and then takes
advantage of their belief in his good
will and hospitality to attack them,
he is debarred of all the rights of a
combatant, and is liable to the fate of
bandit or spy.
The same punishment should be met
ed out to guerrilas who engage in a
form of warfare inaugurated by the
Spaniards and in which they are
adopts. The guerri las act some times
singly and sometimes in bands, wear
no uniform, operate without the orders
of their government aud devote them
selves chiefly to the killing of pickets

them in Cuba or Porto Rico.
SPIES,
Every one knows the fate reserved in
time of war for spies. But few are

Sigsbee's Scientific Work.

The deepest valley in the gulf of
Mexico is named "Sigsbee's Deep"
after it's discoverer, and the scientific
name of Sigsvia nurrhina is given to
one of the rarest specimens of deep-wa-
ter auns. 1t was Sigsbee. too, who dis
roverered near the Moro light, not
far from the spot where the
Maine now lies, many beauti-
full specimens of the pen tacr'ni. of sea
lilies, and who, while in command of
Blake, placed at the disposal of
scientific Investigators the drst ex-
tensive collection of this ancient genus.
Thus has Captain Sigsbee associated
hissname with the barbor of Havana
both by scientific Investigations and by
exhibition of the highest
qualities of command. We have
the authority of Prof. Alexan-
der Apassiz for saying that the success
of the scientifi C. party in the Blake was
largely due not only to Captain Sigs-
bees capacity as commander and to
his active interest in scientific investi-
CATION, but to the numerous improve
ments in the apparatus for deep-sea
dredging and sounding originated by
him.--New Orleans Picayuue.

Increasing Use of Kaffir Corn.
Harper's Weekly.

1t is something new in agriculture in
| this country. 1t WAS introduced late
in the eighties from Africa, where it
had long attracted attention in resis :
ing drought. 1t has long roots which
reach depth of from eighteen to
twenty inches. It seems to have the
power of sustaining Itself during a
other words, it stops growing in time
of drought. when other corn dies, and
if rain comes within a reasonable time
say, three or four weeks after Indian
corn has been kllled-it will start up
growing where it left off and produce
q crop. The Hon. Scott E Whine is
authority for this statement regarding
the drouth-defying qualities of Kaftir
corn:
81 have seen KaHir corn mature a
crop of from forty to fifty bushels per
acre right by the side of Indian corn
that was killed by drought soithat not
even a nubbin was matured.
Ksffir corn docs not grow quite so
high as Indian corn. It sends out more
than one flower stalk and thus de-
velops several ears. The yield of this
kind of corn is from ten to fifteen
bushels an acre grea:er than Indian
corn in good years, and when Indian
corn produces absolutely nothing
Kaffir corn has been known to produce
from twenty to thirty bushels of corn.
1t will grow on almost any kind of
soil, and it must be q complete vegeta-
ton killing year when it will not pro-
duce some kind of crop. In 1893
there we're $4,000 acres of this kind of
corn grown in Kansas In 1897 there
were 371,838 acres Of it produced in
that state. 1t was equivalent to $685.
739 tons OF corn. and the value of it
was $4,O79:217. Nebraska raised a.
large quantity of this kind of corn ALSO
1t has come to play an important part
in the fortune and economy of the west
in the ten years it has been known.
In yielding fodder this corn has an
other desirable characteristic. 1t re-
mains green until the seed is ripe. The
yield of this fodder is nearly double
that of ordinary corn. The grain
makes good -four, and is alec good pop
corn. AS food product it is not quite
so nutritious for live stock as Indian
corn, but the margin of difference is
so slight that ouly scientific research
is able to revealit. In given quantity
it has been found that Indian corn has
S1.7 per cent of the substances that
produce heat and fat and support
effort. Kaffir corn produces
20 per cent of the same substances
in the same quantity of corn. I'll

farmer to prepare the grain of

The United States in its war with
Spain will probably base its conduc
upon the code recommended for adoD
tion by the Institute OF the Interna
tional law at its session in Oxford in
September, 1880. The code in ques.
tion is based upon the following au-
thorities: (a) The Lieber code, adopt
ed by tn. United States army in 1868:
(b) the Geneva convention Of August,
1864; (c) the additional articles of the
Geneva cOnve ton of OctO -er 1868:
(d) the declaration Of ST Petersburg OF
November, 1865: (e) the declaration of
Brussels, 1871; Q) the latest officisl
manuals adopted by the governments
of France, Germany, Russia, Holland
Italy and Austria; (g) the Paris con-
vention of 1856, and (h) the Brussels
session of the Institute of IL ternational
law of 1879.

One of the fund amental rules OF this
code which has not as yet been official
ly adopted by either the American or
the English government, both OF
which, however may be relied upon to
CO.. form to it's provisions, is that the
etate of war does not admit of any
fighting, or of hostile. acts, save b..
tween the regular armed forces of the
belligerent states. These forces must
be under the direction OF responsible
chiefs, must have a uniform or distin-
gushing badge, recognizable at
distance and must carry arms openly

who commit hostilities, whether by
fighting, or raids, Or lOOting without

of peaceful pursuits, divesting them

of soldiers, are not entitled to the

which is not task of insuperable diff
fculty, the American forces employed

purpose of the war as expeditiously as
possible and to avoid that particular
military fault to which the English
speaking races are most prone, namely,
that of undertaking the enemy.
