New York, Dec. 9.-Lieutennnt Stack

Tennessee Volunteers, arrived here to-
day on the steamship st. Louis from
Southampton. They are on their way
to their homes in GAINESVILLE. Tenn,
after having seen some months of ac-

1.-The Philippine soldiers fight like
demons" said Lieutenant Stacker
"They seem to have no fear of death
and they do not fear danger. but their
lighting is not the kind we expected
They will fight and then scatter to
fight again. Their mode of warfare is
much like that of the Beers.
THE troops. in my opinion, will be
chasing Aguinaldo for the next 26a
years, and then never catch him. But
he is simply the figurchead. There are
others behind him. Some of the Filipi-
nos in Manila are friendly, and some
there are who will work for the gov
eminent and even give the military au-
thorities informal on, but those in COM
mand are never sure but that the same
persons are giving the rebel army more
Information. I do not thing the Fill
pinos are worth all the loss of life ana
trouble they are costing us.
"The climate out there is unhealthy,
and there is a great deal of sickness
among the soldiers. Two per cent. of
our regiment were sick with dysentery
and fever. There were three or four
deaths in the regiment from smallpox
Many soldier dies out there, and the
people over here never hear anything
of the matter. They don't like to make
the death list public.
General Otis is n good man, but he
is not liked by the men, who privately
speak OF him as the old woman or
use other equally disrcspectful names.
He has done sall that he can, but the
great trouble is. he tried to do 1t ALL"

For the past month or more Mr.

county, has been overrun with orders,
and 1t has been necessary for q large
force of hands to be kept at work day

Dunlops hands have turned out from
100,0 600 to 10000 pounds OF manufactur-
ed tobacco. which is TO be exported
This has been n very busy week with
the tobacco warehouse men Of Peters
burg. and 1t is estimated that fully one
million pounds of loose tobacco has
been sold here. The price obtained
averaged about six dollars per hundred
pounds. The highest price was $50 per
hundred pounds.

The Richmond, Petersburg and Caro-

their freight rates on lumber about
twenty-five per cent.
There is over n million and a half feet
of lumber at City Point awaiting ship

wharves at the Point being so crowded
with lumber, the Norfolk and Western

by It's agent at the Point not to send
any more loaded cars of lumber there
for the present.
The wharves here are also stacked

Poultry Hints.

From Farmers Review: The feed
Ing experiment with Pekin ducks given
in Farmers Review of March 1 will
doubtless sound "ishy' to persons
who have never seen healthy ducks fed

else they will read it and say, ooh,

ducks, and had all kinds of feed and
conveniences, also got top price for
the ducks. I couldn't do that"
My friends, you could, if you would
try. Two years ago VIC purchased u
ducks and brakes, had only the con-
veniences that are found every where,
but we made a warm duck house out of
old rails and clover rowen; used hens
for incubators and sold IFS young
ducks; increased our flock to 20, be-
sides selling and using dozens of duck
eggs. They were white ducks mixed
with the Pekin, and when they were

weeks old it weighed 5h pounds. Now

In the course Of talk on the value
Of the silo at a New York farmers
institute. Mr.. A. L. Litchard said that
the greatest Improvement that has
taken place on the farm in years was
the silo. One benefit of the silo is
That the corn can be gathered and put
into 1t early while the land can be
used for something else. Another is,
that corn that is put in the silo grows
better as 1t grows older, and IL left
In the field would decrease in value,
and again the corn in the silo is al
ways ready for use. A farmer can
carry from three to five more head Of
cattle with its aid than otherwise. A
farmer can keep his family in better
circumstances, and silo, II run on q
systematic plan, will go long way
toward paying off farm obligations. A
silo Is great help when farmer Is in
. tight place. Mr.. Litchard recited an
accident which occurred on his farm
about five years ago. It was when the
grass-hoppers made their famous raid
through that section. He had some
ane pieces Of timothy and clover. The
grass-hopper cleaned this of entirely
with the exception of two tons. The
next year the same thing took place.

If you want an early pig or sheep
feed and want the best results, plant
the Early Dwarf variety and let the
stock harvest them themselves, or cut
and feed as needed. Plant about
peck per acre in drills with a drill
corn planter, in rows 20 to 80 inches
apart and one or two seeds eight to
twelve inches apart in the row. Plant
very shallow half inch is better
than deeper. Have the seed bed loose
and mellow. II possible select clean
ground, free from quick, rank growing
weed seeds. To harvest the Early
Dwarf is quite a task, as the seed pods
set so low on the stalks and they are
SO tough and hard when ripe it is i'm
possible to cut them with machine.
1t has to be done by hand with corn
knives or hatchets. Cut as soon as the
pods turn yellow. Catch the tops with
one hand. cut and throw into small
piles to cure. Dry thoroughly and
then thresh or store in barn; or bet
ter, in open shed till ready to thresh
or feed. If many are grown they are
best threshed with a common grain
separator, removing the concave and
putting in board in its place. Don't
use wind-stacker machine if you can
get any other, as they have to run too
fast TO do good work. If ripe, don't
cut with scythe; It skaters the
beans and does not cut low enough.

standard variety and can be grown
and harvested the same way, only they
should be planted ten to sixteen inches
apart in the row. Cover shallow. The
farther apart they are planted the bet
ter the yield of seed will be. If hay

We use a one-horse garden cultivator
after the plants are eight or ten inches
nigh. To cultivate when smaller, use
a regular patent weeder, or make one
by putting your corn-cultivator wheels,
or old hay-rake wheels cut down, or
low buggy wheels on your sullsy hay
rake, SO that the points of the rake
teeth will point down OF back and not
: forward and hook out the plants. Bolt
lx2 inch strips Of board across about

steady. Lock the teeth down and go
ahead. It does fine work il the plants

his garden going with the rest. The
next year the grass-hoppers were on
hand, and Mr.. Litchard had large
corn crop, but in the meantime he had
built a fine silo. His hay, clover, ETC.,
went the same as the year before, but
he had fine lot of corn and place
to put it, so he filled the silo and had
lots to spare. He fed the remaining
part and did not touch the silo until
February II. Its contents more than
carried his stock through to grass time.
During the following summer the
grass and feed dried up, so he put his
cattle back on to the silo, and got
more milk from one COW than his
neighbors got from three. Mr.. Itch
ard said he never invested his money
to better advantage than he did when
he built his silo. When asked if the
silo should be square or circular in
form, Mr.. Litchard replied: "If were
to build in the barn should build
square one; but if out of doors, and
had good covering, should certainly
build silo circular in FORM"

Why Americans Eat Little Cheese.

Why Americans Eat Little Cheese.
1t is said that cheese is the most val
liable of all foods; that it contains
from two to three times as much nu-
triton as the same money value of or
binary meat; that when properly made
and cured it aids digestion, that it is
one of the most profitable Of nutri-
ents. and that we should teach people
to eat it. But all convincing proof Of
facts and brilliant arguments have
failed to constitute the Americans
cheese eating people. A bite or two is
all they will venture, Notwithstanding
that they have made cheese since the
Colonial days. The adage that "every
sickness has its reason" finds applica-
ton in this instance. "It is notori-
Gus fact that the standard American
cheese, called Cheddar, is the most in
digestible Of all cheese that is made.
\ 1t is like nothing on earth but itself.
NO other country known makes as
poor and indigestible an article as the
American cheese factory. To be sure,
some OF them put cream enough in to-
make it palatable, but there is a de-
clded absence of what may be called
European ripeness. 1t seems to be
made simply to sell by weight-there-
fore. the sooner it can be gotten into
the market the better. The facts are
thus in evidence that the only way to
success is through the stomach Of the
average consumer. Give him a palat-
able article that he is able to digest
and the cheese industry will have 3
solid foundation.-M. Schemhri.
