Winter Wheat.

In IL recent discussion in the Iowa
Homestead it i made to appear that
there is less risk in growing winter
wheat than the spring variety. Thcrc
is u firm belief with some of the writers
that wheat put in i'll season, in good
ground at the right time of the year.
with the right kind of preparation. win
stand a very poor chance of failure.
There is general opinion as well that
the drill should be used for putting the
wheat in the ground.
Moderately deep blowing is advocated
and thorough preparation also recon-.
mended. 1t is best to roll or float land
well, and again in the winter or early
spring if the ground gets dry and plants
are hCavcd up by the frost. Early pillow.
ing is best for wheat, and the favOrite
rotation is to follow oats with wheat.
Ground that has been corned until il

report. however, ought to he still
extant in the archives, and might
prove useful, as it certainly
would be interesting, for re
production in connection with
the discussion lately started by
the planters and carried into the
press. Mr.. Macy tells of luXnr-
liant forest growths he traversed in
Hamakua and Hilo districts in
1862, which he found sadly de-
molished twenty. seven years later,
1889, when he last visited the
same places. The destructive
agent had been, to large extent,
fire. Some old koa trees would
rot from the heart, and the natives
would throw titcbraud into the
rott II hole, Surfing fire that
would last sometimes for month.
Mr.. Macy's observations in the
forest above Hilo had, how
ever. led him "'tO believe that cattle
and forest cannot live together,
one or the other must 90, and in
most cases the forest Is the vic
tim" Regarding the matter OF the
effect of forests on rainfall, Mr.
Macy gives facts that seem rather
battling to theories commonly
held. As proof. though, they can
hardly be held to go beyond es-
tsblishing that there are some
causes of wet and dry spells, both,
which have nothing to do with
forests. Th, re was little or
no rain in 1862. Colonel
w. +. Allen, who was then living
at Kawaihae beach, said that
there had not been any rain at
that place for two years. Severe
droughts we're experienced, also,
in 1867, 1872, 1876, 1879 and 1889.
Thousands Of cattle on different
islands persisted in lS76-77, from
want of food and water, their
hides being all that was saved.
1t is needless to say that differ
ences in forestry conditions can
not account for the extreme
diversities in the rainfall that
these islands have experienced
within the lifetime of the present
generation. On the other hand,
there may be strong evidence pro.
ducible that forests promote pre-.
cipitation of moisture as we'll as
effect its conservation. Forests
are fire thing to have in coun.
try anyway.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Speaking TO a
rro-forma amendment to the Indian APP
preparation bill, Mr.. Simpson commented
on an interview with the president rela-
tive to the strike in the cotton mills OF
New England, wherein the president was
quoted as deprecating the condition of
labor and as favoring restriction of i'm
migration. Mr.. Simpson spoke of the re-
port OF the agricultural department ex-
perts on the condition Of the residents
of the slums of New York. in which he
said the experts alleged that then pow
erty was due TO extravaganza. The ex-
perts stated that these people sometimes
bought beefsteak when they could get
twice as much putrment cut Of bananas.
The upshot of Mr.. Simpsons comment
was that there should be economy in
governmental affairs.
Mr.. Dingley replied in some good
natured remarks in which he twitted
Mr. Simpson on having ceased to wall
about the miseries OF bleeding Kansas
and was now looking for misery else
where
I'VE have Populist rule I'm Kansas now
and there is no longer any misery out
there" said Mr.. Simpson.
Continuing, Mr.. Dingley said ne also
believed in economy but he thought IL
strange that on every proposition TO in
crease expenditure Mr.. Simpson had
voted In the affirmative.
THAT is not true" interposed Mr.
Simpson.
Il leave that 10 the members who have
seen him filing through the tellers," re-
sponded Mr.. Dingley. who concluded by
saying he hoped members would follow
the words, not the example Of MIR. Simp-
son.

THE SURRENDERED TERRITORY.
Cities, Ports, Natural Wealth, Industries
and Population of Eastern Cuba.

Cities, Ports, Natural Wealth, Industries
and Population of Eastern Cuba.
The territory in eastern Cuba, sur.
rendered last week by General Toral
embraces about one-third of the pro-
vince of Santiago, certainly its most
valuable part, if one considers its mar
vellous fertility as sugar and coffee
district and its inexhaustible deposits
of iron ore and manganese iron.
The harbor of Santiago de Cuba Is
one of the largest in the West Indies.
Its extent and beauty are too well
known to require any new description
Its Importance from a naval and mill
itary standpoint is of the highest or.
der. Whoever holds that harbor COM
mands eastern Cuba. The harbor is
to eastern Cuba what the harbor oi
Havana is to western Cuba. 1t is the
kew to the district at all times. The
Moro and La Socapa if modernized,
can make for any fleet the entrance to
its harbor an impossibility. AS coal
ing station, as refuge in the hurri.
cane season, its perfectly landlocked
harbor holds first rank. That old
time city, properly fortified, could bid
defiance to many a modern power. Its
value and future will depend on who
possesses it. If left in the hands oi
the laissez-faire, Cubans, it will be, as
it has been the land of manana, or oi
or of tomorrow.
Its geographical position makes the
harbor an absolute essential to the
province for six or seven months OF
the year, when the soft and imperfect
roads of the interior and coast sections
are wholly or nearly impossible, ow'
ing to the copious tropical downpours
The city of Santiago during the
rains is almost cut off from the int,
rior, save by a short and uuimportant
section of railway. 1t communicates
by sea with neighboring ports on the
island, and ships to the world without
sugar, coffee, dye and other woods
iron ore, manganese, and fruits. TIC
that outer world she looks for hel
daily bread, her foodstuffs, canned
goods, and the articles of everyday
life and commerce. They come to hel
bv water and have so come for nearly
four centuries. Until railways develop
the interior and communicate with the
other ports the highway to Santiago
will still be by the open sea.
Santiago before the war had an esti
mated population of 7l,000, of whom
more than three-fourths were Spanist
Negroes and their descendants, the
whole being the descendants of the
African slaves sold in Cuba, the las
of whom were freed about II year;
ago. The black element in eastern
Cuba is in a vast majority. Some
thousands of the whites hitherto have
been Spanish officers and soldiers

CAVALRY IN MODERN WARFARE.

A good man on a good horse is the
superior as an attacking force of three
good men on the ground. This is a
matter of common knowledge in the
European capitals, wherein mobs are
dispersed by cavalry using the fiat OF
the sabre only more quickly than they
are scattered by the bullets of militia
in America. There is something in
the speed, weight and size of charg-
ing man and horse that shakes the
nerve of the most stout-hearted pedes'
trian. The uncomfortable instinct OF
the footman is to get out of the way.
A cavalryman learns to love his horse
with love surprising that of woman.
He learns to depend upon him. He
absorbs confidence from every swell OF
the giant muscles between his knees.
The man and the beast conjoined fur
nish a mutual support that is admir-
able, and in battle of incalculable
value. Dismounted cavalry are the
most difficult of troops to dislodge,
for the reason that the riders, deprived
of their horses, do not know when or
how to run.
Military experts believe that the in
vasion of Cuba by the American army
will furnish exceptional opportunities
for the use of cavalry. 1t is, for the
most part, a good horse country, OF
wide fields and level spaces. 1t is be-
lieved, too, that this picturesque arm OF
the service will demonstrate that its
usefulness is not ended by modern
arms and projectiles, though many
theorists incline to the opinion that the
days of cavalry as cavalry were ended
in the times of Gravelotte and Sedan.
The celebrated and fruitless charge OF
the French cuirassiers, where men and
steeds weat down in heaps and the
watching Wilhelm said, "It is magni-
ficent, but it is not war;" sticks in
their memories. That charge was
Balaklava over again. Somebody
blundered. The general efficiency OF
cavalry under proper conditions is not
discredited by it, nor is the centuries
old record of remarkable arm to be
stained by an individual failure. Men
who remember what the cavalry was
and what the cavalry did in the war
between the states demand something
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-07-20

naval officers and sailors, and the rest
merchants and planters. While the
majority are of Spanish or Cuban de-
scent, many are English, French, Ger
mans, and Americans. Many Spanish
officers married Cuban wives, and
many, upon retiring on their, pensions
settled in Cuba and became land own
ers and planters.
To pass briefly TO it's other ports or
harbors proceeding in an easterly di-
rection by water, some 80 miles away,
the bay of Guantanamo is reached.
The mere hamlet facing the bay is
named Caimanera, the port and ter
minus of the railway leading to the
interior city of Guantanamo. j'he
city is on an inland plateau, situated
in the centre of the richest sugar dis
trict in the world. The old time city
is quaint and essentially Spanish. 1t
is the supply centre for the many sugar
and coffee estates. 1t in turn receives
their crops and ships them by rail to
the port already described.
Many of the vast estates belong to
foreigners. The Messrs. Brookes, Of
Santiago, own several of the largest
sugar properties. Mr.. Mckinley, a
Scotchman, owns one; DR.. Wilson, an
American, another; Mr.. Ramsden, a
coffee estate. His father, F. w. Rams
den, a partner of Brookes & Co., is the
British consul at Santiago. Mr.. Rob-
ert Mason of the same firm was vice
consul for the United States before the
war. Many of the estates are owned
by Spaniards, Cubans and Frenchmen.
The rich alluvial soil of eastern
Cuba has made it its chief sugar pro-
ducing centre in Cuba. The black soil
has a varying depth of from - to 16
feet. Sugar cane has been growing
there without replanting from 10 to 20
years, and two yearly crops of fine
cane are raised with a minimum Of
labor and expense. Coffee does very
we'll. A plantation natures in six
years. Once producing, it is small
gold mine to its owner. Cattle do we'll
and have proved very profitable. The
many possibilities with such soil and
climate do not need description. The
province needs intelligent enterprise
and push, and it will blossom with
crops and prove one of the richest and
most productive spots on earth-a new
Klondike.
The forests Of eastern Cuba are al
most unexplored. They cover its
mountain sides and abound in the
choisest of tropical mahogany, hard
cedar, lignum vit;e and dyewoods.
The minerals of eastern Cuba deserve
special mention. In the olden days
much copper was got not far from the
city of Santiago. That industry seems
to have been abandoned for the more
profitable one of iron ore and manga,
nese iron. The first exists in practi.
cally inexhaustible quantities. The
capital invested in the mines is largely
American. Strangely enough, much
of that manganese iron today will be

But to return to the bay of Guanta-
namo and continue in one trip around
the eastern end of the island. The
extreme eastern point is Cape Mast,
the well-known lighthouse station fac
ing the Windward Passage. The ter
racing of the island there is very
noticeable. The land rises in steps or
terraces from the sea until it reaches
the foothills. Back of the latter are
the lofty mountain ranges for which
all eastern Cuba is noted.
Leaving Cape Mast on our left, hav-
ing rounded the point, we are on the
northern coast of Cuba or that facing
the United States. A number of minor
harbors are passed and Baracoa is
sighted. 1t is a large fruit exporting
centre, and the outlet for that section
of eastern Cuba. The sea outlet seems
to be natures only one so far. When
American enterprise develops the in
terror by railways like Jamaica's, chen
productiveness will be quadrupled.
The next and last coast town in the
district surrendered is Sagua de Tana-
mo, on the river and bay of that name.
A line on the map from Sagua de
Tanamo to Santiago de Cuba repre-
sents the western boundary of our
newly acquired territory. Its area is
over 10000 square miles, with about
100000 inhabitants.
A few words in conclusion on the
climate of eastern Cuba. The old-time
Spanish discoverers divided climates
in mountainous sections in the tropics
into three classes. First, the TERRA
caliente, or hot lands-all lands on the
coast, and extending about 1000 feet
above the sea level From 1000 to
900 feet the terra templada, or tenn
perate climate; from 1000 to 1000
and 5000, feet the terra fria, or cold
climate. The coastal climate produces
all the fruits and vegetables of the
tropics. The temperate climate, pota-
toes corn, and many vegetables, inclu-
ding valuable fruits and woods, not
forgetting certain kinds of coffee and
cane. The cold climate, woods, the
vegetables of northern climate, wild
hogs, and mountain game.
The coasts are hot and generally un-
healthy. The acclimated natives stand
| it, having their bouts of malaria, tro-
pical dysentery, and other ailments.
Occasionally yellow fever kills them.
The temperate zone, with the hill
climate of Cuba, is the place for all
unacclimated whites. Acclimation,
properly so called, is matter of years.
