CUBA LIBRE."

Some papers are complaining thai
Cuba is not Cuba Libre under Gen
Brool1e's administration. What would
they have? Do they want the Cuban's
idea of 'Libre' to prevail, and idea
which means the killing Of all Span
iards, the confiscaton Of ther property
and the turning Of the island over to
armed bands, the leader Of each try
ing to establish himself as a dictator
for the time being? If this is the kind
of "Cuba Libre' wanted, and if the
United States government yields to
such demands, it were better that the
Spanish rule had not been overthrown.
Our government cannot afford to en-
courage anarchy and establish it where
a government, although bad, previous
ly existed, and those papers playing
the changes on Scuba Libre' would be
the first to abuse the administration
for fearful conditions in Cuba if Amer
lean control was ended at once

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.

An improved railroad spike has g
slot formed in one side in which a
toothed plate is inserted, the points Of
the teeth lying inside the line of the
side of the spike until driven out by a
steel wedge after the spike is in place
to lock 1t in the tie.
In a new leveling device a shaft is
ry a weighted arrow, the lower edge
of the dial being fattened to the resi-
on the surface to be leveled, while the
arrow swings around to indicate the
position of the object.
A table has been designed which will
remain level on board a ship, the TOP
of the table being carried by a vertical
post intersecting two horizontal roda
iournaled at their ends in the base OF
the table, with a weight at the lower
end of the rod to balance it.
A Washington woman has patented
a sleeping bag for use in cold climates
having the fur or other material
formed into a tube at the lower end
and extended at the top to form two
fat flaps, with a pillow attached to the
under one, the upper flap engaging the
lower to close it around the head.
An Englishman has invented a car.
rier which will preserve fish alive dur.
ing transportation, an upper chamber
in the receptacle being filled with OK.
ygen, which is absorbed by the water
to purify it, the Earring of the carrier
in shipment tending to absorb the OK
ygen.
To prevent rugs from slipping on the
floor and turning up at the corners, a
Massachusetts inventor has patented a
suction cup of rubber, a number OF
which are placed around the edges OF
the rug and pressed against the floor
to expel the air underneath and to
cause them to fasten themselves down.
The color of a railroad lamp can be

The experiments with Kafir corn at
the experiment station in 1898 add to
the evidence of the great value Of
this crop of Oklahoma. In the tests
as to the thickness of planting five
plats gave an average yield at rate
Of 81 bushels threshed grain, Sc
pounds to the bushel-ranging from
80 to 102 bushels per acre; six others
gave average yield at rate of 70 BUSH
els per acre.
The largest yields were where the
corn was planted thicker than most
farmers think best, when the grain
is the part chiefly desired. With rows
three feet apart four plats, where the
stalks averaged n to a little over
four inches, gave yield at rate of SO
bushels; ten plats with stalks averag-
ing one to each eight inches gave
yields at rate of as bushels, and six
plats, where the stalks averaged one
for a little over IL inches, gave yields
at rates Of "a bushels per acre. Where
the rows were 80 inches or A inches
apart the yields decreased with the
thinner planting in about same pro-
portion. The thicker planting gave a
larger total yield as well as larger
yields of seed. Two plats gave yields
of slower at rate of over 7h tons per
acre.
The yields in 1897 were much small
err than those in 1898 but, as this year,
the largest yields were where the rows
were three feet apart and the stalks
were at the rate of one for each six
inches or less. 1t is believed that, for
average upland soils in the territory
it is advisable to plant so as to have
one stalk at about each two inches in
rows three feet apart. The weight
of stalks and leaves is greater and
the quality better than with thinner
planting.

Standing Armies of the World.

A French statistician states that the
total number of men permanently un-
der arms is 1880, 900. If universal war
broke out there would be A, 250, 900
men ready to take up arms at once.
Placed in n line, the soldiers of the
world could cover the equator right
around the earth. To pass along the
whole line one would need to ride in
an express train at sixty miles an hour
for seventy days. If the soldiers re-
ceived orders to exterminate the rest
of the population they would only
have to kill thirty-three persons
apiece.

Facts on Alfalfa,

George L. Clothier, assistant botan-
list of the Kansas Experiment Station,
has been investigating alfalfa as
grown in Kansas and has come to the
following conclusions:
Suitable locations may be found in
any part of Kansas for the growth of
alfalfa that will produce one half to
6 tons, or an income per annum, cal
culated on the basis of digestible nu-
~trients, of "a to $50 per acre. If har-
vested as it is coming into blossom.
alfalfa furnishes more nutritious feed
than If left to grow tough and woody.
When intended for horse feed, the
stems should be allowed to become
somewhat ripened and the pods set
before it is harvested. Moving often
does not inJure the plants, but slim
ulates the vital processes. 1t should
be sown late enough if In the spring
and early enough if in the fall to
guard against the possibility of frost
catching the young plants with only
their first two leaves developed. Tho
young plants are more tender at this

In . recent report to the State De-
partment Consul Monaghan, at Chem

Henry of Germany is taking is far be-
yond the operating sphere of a naval
commander. The object, says tho con-
sui, IL the extension of German com.

Amur and Usuri rivers. The consul
tells what an extensive effort has been
made by the Germans. through trading
and shipping companies operating
from Hamburg, to establish active
agencies all over the section of Siberia
opened up by the new railroads, and
in this they have already displaced in
large measure the merchants OF France
and Belgium. Concluding, the consul
says that 1t is possible for the United
States manufacturer, il the right kind
OF an effort is made. to get a good deal

M. Tissot, the French painter of the
remarkable pictures of the life of
Christ, now on exhibition in this coun

where he was famous al a painter of

Palestine, where he studied every as

growth. Excessively hot weather fol-
lowing the seeding is apt to result dis
astrously. Twenty to thirty pounds of
seed should be own per acre.
Alfalfa will thrive best on a fertile

moist subsoil. 1t will produce a fair
crop, however, upon poor land. bring

and the minerals up from the depths
below, and adding to the fertility of
the soil upon which 1t feeds. Moisture

terranean stores of moisture and the
hidden mineral elements of the earth,
The soil before seeding should be put
in the finest possible filth and freed
from weed seeds. Alfalfa should not
be sown until the ground is moist
enough to terminate the seed imme-
diately. II not covered too deeply, it
may be either drilled or broadcasted
with equal probabilities of success.
Weeds should not be allowed to shade
or crowd the young plants, and are
best removed with the moving ma

1t is never safe in Kansas tt pasture
alfalfa with cattle or sheep, on ac-
count of the liability to bloat the ami
mails. There IS even some danger in
feeding the hay If it should happen
to get wet. Steers can be fattened on
m third less corn with alfalfa for
roughness than without. Owing to it's
high protein content, too much may
be fed to fattening animals to secure
the most economical gains. Horses
when not working do exceedingly we'll

feed too much of it to working ami
mails. If mixed with other hay, there
is no better horse feed. A good stand
Of alfalfa can be very easily destroyed
by overpasturing with hogs. To NOW
the green feed and haul it out to the
pigs in a different enclosure is more
economical than to pasture it. Pigs
can be grown for almost half the

feed them the hay in winter provid-

According to Washington corre-
spondents it will be the policy Of the
United States government to take care
OF all of the soldiers in tho Cuban
army. II they want wages they will
be given employment upon the public
works. If they prefer to remain in
the army they will be organized into
rural police, the intention being to
keep them together and prevent them
from scattering idly like trampa
throughout the country. Wherever
they are willing to accept outside EN-.
ployment they will be encouraged to
do SO, and it is believed the revival OF
industry will cause an increase in tho
price Of labor that will tempt mary OF
them to return to the farms and fac.
tories. In each Of the provinces, how
ever, there will be all organization OF
rural police similar to that in Mexico
to keep order in the country, suppress
outlawry and relieve the military gar
risons as much as possible. This is
not entirely necessary, but it is con.
sidered expedient, because 1t will neu-
traliZe the influence Of the agitators
and reconcile the rank and file of the
Cuban army to the new order OF
things.

1.-THE hardwood trade is really in a
n. ore satisfactory condition than that
pertaining to the soft woods" says
the Northwestern Lumberman. There
III not a weak spot in the market any
where. Though the season Is near an
end, and consumers are inclined to re-
strict their purchases to necessities,
there yet has been but little slacken-
Ing Of the urgent movement which has
characterized the trade all season. Dry
stocks at the mills, north and south,
have been sold off, even what would
ordinarily be considered riff-raff hav-
ing been cleaned up. The demand this
season has predominantly oeen for
common and Gull lumber. the call for
firsts and seconds having been less
than usual, except when lumber was
required for export. The greater de-
mGnd from all sorts of consumers has
been for common lumber, that SEEM
ing to have been as good stock as they
required. This excessive demand has
absorbed common oak faster than it
could be dried, with the result that
there is a shortage all W. the
try. Thick ash has also been sold out
to the extent of scarcity at the mills
south, and at market points. Black
ash in the north has become almost
IN unknown market quantity, and the
same can be said of Michigan soft elm.
1t is also said that the greater por-
ton of Wisconsin Eastwood has
changed hands, and the demand for
Gull is in excess of the ready supply.
Poplar has done better this season
than for years, and the demand is still
we'll maintained, while prices are firm
at $3.50 to So a thousand higher than
a year ago."
