teen inches; this will give good
stand, and as the crop is a long seaso:l
one it should be planted as early in
the season as possible. Some time in
late June or July make very thin
sowing of Giant beggar weed in the
water furrow this will spring up
quickly and be ready just in time for
the bean to climb all over it for the
latter undoubtedly does best when it
has something on which to climb.) If
the bean has been planted early in
April, which is really the proper time,
a thin sowing of fodder corn In the wa
ter furrow in June will answer the
purpose as we'll as beggar weed. This
combina ton will give am exceptionally
heavy forage crop, ready to cut in ear
ly September, and it will make a good
second crop after that which, can be
allowed to remain in the ground and
be plowed under in the winter to i'm
prove the soil and restore it's fertility.
If simply grown as a soil renovator
it can be planted four feet apart and
every two feet i'm the furrow and al
lowed to remain where it grows. If
wanted for pasture for stock or hog
feed, beggar weed, millet, or anything
of that kind planted along with it, will
prove a decided benefit, as in itself it
is somewhat laxative at first in it's
effect ON stock, and other forage mixed
with it helps to counteract this effect
In cutting to cure for forage is
where the real trouble is encountered
as it's growth is so enormous, and if it
is growing ON anything the tangle of
is such that it is a hard
matter to get at it we'll. If cut in the
forenoon, after the dew has dried off,
and hauled to the barn without delay
and spread over poles Il use my tobac-
co barn for the purpose, it cures excel
lently and makes the finest cattle for
age I ever saw, and I feel confident
that it only needs a proper trial by ev-
cry Southern farmer to secure it's gen.
eral adoption all through the Southern
Sta tes.
I do not think the velvet bean can
be grown north of Kentucky success
fully. A friend in Kentucky grew some
of it last summer and he reports an
extraordinary growth of vine but no
grain, the season being too short for it
to form seed. He grew it in a field adj

to carry out his plans for securing
bountiful supply of forage for his
stock for next winters feed. A few
words therefore about the velvet bean
as source of forage as we'll as rem
ovator of the soil might be very Oppor-
tune, and l would suggest to those
who are unaware of the value of this
bean to try a small patch of it and
just watch the result. Those who have
already grown the bean will bear me
out when I say that we have moth
ing in it's own line to equal it. 1t is
great forage producer, and the grain,
both in the green and dry state, is
equal to anything grown for food for
any stock, and it is not too much to
say that everything that walks on four
feet is fond of it,
The velvet bean grows and makes a
fair crop where cowpeas would scarce
ly terminate the seed. 1t is an excel
lent imprOver of the soil in that it is
the best nitrogen gather among all the
known legumes. It's foliage is so dense
that it shades the land completely dur
ing our hot days of summer, and by
shedding the leaves nearest the
ground. it forms mulch that con-
serves the ordinary moisture i'm the
soil. In short, we have in the velvet
bean what the Southern farmer has SO
long been looking for, that is, some
thing that will produce a good profit
able crop and at the same time help to
put backbone into the poor sandy soils
of the South.
I have said that it will make a fair
crop ON land too poor for cow peas, but
it will repay it's grower for a little
commercial fertilizer applied to the soil
previous to planting time. Some farm
ers are sanguine enough to think that
there will come a time wien CONNER
cial fertilizers might be entirely dis.
pensed with. There is no Indication
that that will ever come; in fact, the
tendency is rather the other way as
every year sees marked increase i'm
the fertilizers used, and every broad
minded, observing farmer knows that
for every dollar thus invested he gets
back ten ana sometimes twenty, ac-
cording to the intelligence and wisdom
exercised in the selection of the prop
er kind Of fertilizer and the method
and time of application.
Like every other crop, the velvet
bean has preference, if we may use
the term, for a certain kind of food
which is best suited to it's require
ments and which enables it to return
the most profitable crops. 1t wants
fertilizer analysing high in phosphoric
acid and potash. Being a natural nj
trogen gatherer, it does not require
any nitrogen fed to it in the shape Of
fertilizers. If we cannot get a fertiliz-
err containing no nitrogen, the best
way to get over the difficulty is to buy
our phosphate and muriate of potash,
and prepare our own fertilizer, bring
ing the analysis as near as possible to
ten per cent potash and seven to eight
per cent phOsphOric acid. Four to six

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 5.-There is
considerable mystery regarding the where
abouts of Agoncillo, the American repre-
sentative of the F%ilipinos. He is credited
by his fellow-members of the junto with be-
ing in Baltimore, making a social call, ac-
companied by Captain Morti Purgos, an
officer in the Filipino army. DR.. Luna and
other members Of the junto insist that he
will return tonight or tomorrow morning.
They laughed at a report which had spread
during the day that he had run away.
On the other hand, it is known that the
secret service officials have Agoncillo under
surveillance wherever he may be. A story
which seems to come from q quarter that
should be credited states that Agoncillo left
at 1850 o'clock last night for New York.
The other members Of the junto-Sixto
Topaz, the secretary; Jua Luna and Jose
Losada-are in the city. They evinced great
interest in the news of the fighting around
Manila and claimed that the reports from
there showed that the outbreak was pre-
cipitated by the Americans. Secretary 10
paz said he had no reason to anticipate an
attack at this time by the Filipinos. DR..
Luna called attention to the fact that the
first shot had been fired by an American
sentry. Also that the great body of the
Philippine army and their strongest in
trenchments are on the south side of the
Pasig river, whereas the fighting all oc-
CURED on the north side. He said that if
the Philippine army had opened the engage
ment they would have charged the entire
line of American intrenchments instead of
d~evoting their attention to only three of
them.

the kind has occurred. He condemns the
action of the United States government in
refusing to allow him TO communicate with
his home government. He says he is not
going to Canada for the purpose of avoiding
arrest. He seemed, according to the CORE
spondent of the Herald, to be nervous and
anxious to place himself beyond the con-
fines of this country as soon as possible.
TROY. N. ". Feb. 5.-Word was received
in this city at 10 o'clock tonight that Agon-
clio would reach here on his way to Mon
treal at 1I:10 o'clock. The train arrived on
time and with the train was a party of
newspaper men. When the cars pulled into
the union station here word was given out
that Agoncillo was in one of the sleepers
and that he could not be disturbed. He had
retired at Poughkeepsie. The train left
Troy at 1880 O'Clock for Montreal and is due
at that point at Z o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. 1t was stated here in an unofficial way
that Agoncillo would be arrested at Rouse's
Point, but it could not be learned that any
arrangements had been made to this effect.

was said at the State Department, plainly,
that Agoncillo was either a traitor or a spy.
If the Philippines are regarded as American
territory then he is the representative and
active agent of ar instruction against the
United States and as such is a traitor. If
the Philippines are still in nominal Spanish
possession then, as a state of war still
technically exists, he can be regarded only
as d spy. At the very least his presence is
highly obnoxious and there is said to be
ample authority for his expulsion by presi-
dential order.
Diplomats took a lively interest in the
news, realizing that the government of the
United States will call on them very early
to see to it that no aid of any sort is rem
dered to the Filipinos and that no flibuster-
ing expeditions shall leave their soil with
munitions of war or supplies for the insur-
gents. Special precautions will be asked to
be taken at Singapore and Hong-Kong.

cause them to exercise special vigilance in
this respect, a matter of much Importance
in view of the great number and extent of

insurgents will be badly handicapped. The

Only Meager Information Obtained by
the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Oficial details Of
the situation at Manila We're anxiousIy
awaited at the White House throughout the
day, but up to a late hour this evening the
Presidents advices consisted only of Ad-
miral Dewey's message, a brief telegram
from Colonel Thompson, the signal officer
at Manila and a short but reassuring dis
patch from General otis.
Secretary Alger was tho first to call. ar
irving at the White House at 1910 a. m.
He remained but a short time, however, and
almost simultaneously with his departure
Secretary Long arrived, bearing Admiral
Dewey's dispatch. Before Secretary Long
departed the secretary of war returned to
the White House, and Adjutant General
Corbin and Attorney General Griggs also
arrived. Before nightfall all of the Cabi-
net except Postmaster General Charles En-
ory Smith. who is confined at home with a
cold. and including Secretary Bliss, who
came over from New York, had called sep
arately, but at no time to-day has there
been a formal gathering of the Cabinet.
President and Mrs. Mckinley went for a
short carriage drive a few minutes after 3
o'clock. Secretary Of War Alger met him as
he entered his carriage. Secretary Alger

A~guinaIdO's Washington Agent Per-
mitted to Escape to Canada.

NEW YORK, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Albany, n. Y, says that Agon-
clio, representative of the Filipino Junto
in this country. passed through that city to-
night en- route for Canada. According to
information received by the correspondent
OF the Herald the United States govern
ment has no intention of arresting Agon-
clio and will allow him to proceed across
the Canadian line.
Agoncillo says hat he has been unable to
communicate with Aguinaldo owing to the
strict censorship exercised by the United
States authorities. and thinks that it is his
duty under the circumstances 10 place him
self beNpnd its jurisdiction so that he will
be able 10 communicate with his home peo-
pie. He says he knows nothing of a battle
having occurred, and thinks it possible that
no such event has taken place. although he
adds that it is possible that something Of

that there need be no apprehension as to the
ability of the forces to take care of them
selves. He said that while no dispatch had
come to his department. undoubtedly every
thing possible had been one to avoid the
hostilities, as the instructions to General
Otis had been to take every possible meas
ure to avoid any conflict with the Filipinos.
Tonight several members of the Cabinet
and other public men called at the executive
mansion. but the gathering was largely Of
a social character, many of them being ac-
companied by the ladies of their families.
