CONTROL OF THE
HAVANA TOBACCO

New York, Feb 19.-The Herald saws.
A fortnight will probably determine
whether the controlling power for SUPPLY
ing the demand for Havana tobacco is to
rest in American hands or in those of
European capitalists. Several rumors
have reached New York from time to
time of a syndicate which was forming
to buy up the tobacco lands in Cuba.
These have had to do principally with a
combination in which American capital
is concerned. 1t was reported a day or
two ago in a Havana newspaper that a
second American syndicate was in
process of formation and it was learned
that prior to the appearance of the
American capitalists a foreign syndicate
had secured an option on a number tof
factories with tobacco bearing lands. The
present indications are that it will now
resolve itself into race between the two
syndicates as to which will secure the
valuable property necessary to make the
operations of a syndicate successful.
From what was learned, the Americans
are now in a safe position to get all they
wanted, the only further thing necessary
being speedy elimination of their plans
and a positive forming of the syndicate.

WAS The VI I'M
OF AN ASSAULT

San Francisco. Feb. 20.-A man be-
lieved to be Charles NJ. Hawley, formerly
of Salt Lake and recently a sergeant in
the Utah battery, was found in an un-
conscious condition at Grant avenue and
Geary street last night. At the receiving
hospital, where he was taken, it is feared
that his skull must have been fractured
or his neck broken. Papers found on the
person of the injured man, among which
is a marriage contract, satisfy the police
as to his identity. He was evidently the
victim of an assault, though the motive
of his assailants is not known. 1t is said
that HaWley came from Denver three
years ago. He had not recovered con-
scousness at an early hour this morning.
The other party to the marriage contract
found in his pocket was Alma e. Burton,
a religious worker connected with the
Heniel mission.

Upon the retirement of Brig. Gen. NJ p.
Miller on March 10Th Col. +. V. Sumner,
now brigadier general of volunteers, will
be appointed brigadier general in the

to Maj. Gen. Otis until after June 10th,
1900, unless the army reorganization bill
shall pass Gen. Otis holds only the rank
of brigadier general in the regular SER
vice. He will be appointed a major gem
eral upon the retirement of June 16, 1901
of Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, but the
president would like to confer promotion
upon him sooner should he have the OPP
portunity to do SO. Gen Otis will be the
next major general of the regular service
appointed. Although Brig. Gen. ID. w.
Flagler does not retire until June "a, the
gossipS in the war department are al
ready talking of his successor. 1t seems
to be generally conceded that Col. j. M.
Whittmore will receive the appointment

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that they do not need an ex-
pensive building as a shelter. A shed
open on one side suits them as well as
a tight barn, and even better, as they
require considerable ventilation. But
it should be so arranged that both rain
and snow can be kept out of it, for the
sheep should not get their fleece wet in
cold weather. 1t taAes too long to get
it dry again, and the whole body gets
chilled, reducing vitality, even if they
do not take colds to set them cough
ing and running at the nose. Nor should
water be allowed to run into the shed
from outside. A sheep will not lie down
in the mud or on wet straw. Keep the
inside of the shed dry and well Uttered
with clean straw and the sheep will be
healthy and thrive well, even on mod
crate feed.-Emerican Cultivation.

HORSES IN GERMANY,
Hamburg Paper DepIores the Fact
That American Animals Are
in Growing Demand,

Exports of horses to Germany con-
tinue to attract attention both at home
and abroad. Regarding American
horses in German, the Hamburger
Nachrichten, in a recent article. saws:
"lmportations from American have
caused the horse-raisers of Holstein to
suffer much of late. A stock company
has just been formed in Berlin for the
express purpose of importing horses
from the United States. The Ameri-
cans have succeeded in breeding a
horse which compares very favorabIy
in every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points so highly
priced in work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Ihuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late, owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped a drove of so through Ham
burg en- route for Milan, Italy, where
they are to be used on the tramwavs.
Almost every week long freight train
filled with American horses leave the
Berliner Bahnhof for various parts of
Germany. In spite of expensive freight
and a tariff of seven dollars per head,
the Americans have built up a very re-
spectacle competition in the German
market"

MEETINGS OF FARMERS.

other many dollars by doing so. |
have known a man to buy an imple-
ment, and on trying it find it worth
less, or next thing to it; and the follow
ing year his neighbor bought one of
the same kind, only to throw it aside
soon after. If the first could have
stated his experience with it at a meet
ing of his neighbors the second would
have kept his money. If a certain kind
of coal or other article that almost
every family in the neighborhood
uses is better than another that fact
may be learned at these meetings. If
one desires to butcher a beef, but can
use only one quarter Of it, he can easily
dispose of the other three-quarters at
one of these meetings. The principal
benefits to be derived from these neigh
borly gatherings lies in the social ex-
change of actual experiences, wants,
etc. Very often person can give more
information that is of practical value
to his neighbors in 20 words than an
essayist or Orator of the evening" can
in a thousand or more. If these meet
ings are made valuable and informing

they are merely ornamental-to give
Miss Smith an opportunity to surprise

orations, or old Mr.. Robinson to give

who has passed the flush of youth at
tends meeting of any sort, and finds
that he has learned something of real
value to him, he will be on hand at the
next. To be sure, little ornament is
an attraction, but usefulness is the card
that draws and holds.-Fred Grundy,

Twenty-Five varieties were tested, the
average yield being 22.02 bushels.
There was an average difference of
3.02 bushels between the smooth and
bearded varieties, in favor of the
smooth. About one-fourth of the grain
was winter-killed, which accounts for
the small average yield, it being only
about two-thirds of our usual crop.
The average yield of straw was 2,450
pounds and the average weight per
bushel 62.04 pounds. Turkish Red was
the poorest variety, yielding 1887 BUSH
els of grain and 1880 pounds of straw.
The yields of ten varieties that have
been tested for nine and ten years show
no tendency to run out except a slight
decrease in the yield of straw.
A bulletin giving a complete record
of all the varieties for series of years
is in preparation and will be distrib-
uted free of charge.-Enos II. Hess, in

A CALIFORNIA CROP.

The Los Angeles Times says that
about 100 acres will be planted to navel
oranges in Riverside this year.
A prominent shipping firm estimates
the output of dried peaches from this
state this year at 1900 to 1900 car
loads.
The California Vineyardist says that
there will be about 1,4O0 carloads of
seeded raisins shipped from California
this season.
At last advices there had been over
5000 carloads of fresh deciduous fruits
shipped east this season, as against a
total of 1900 last season.
The Riverside Press estimates the out
put of picked olives from southern Cal
ifornia at about 1000 barrels. Little
has been said about this crop, but it
seems to be good in most parts of the
state. The harvest of the early varie-
ties will begin very soon.
The Oroville Mercury of October 10
says that there is ripe orange" on the
EDITORS table-the first of the years
crop. The chances are that it stays
there because the editor does not care
to eat it. Few editors care much for
such ripe oranges" as can be picked in
October. They are better in January,
even in Oroville.
The Orange county horticultural
commissioners report that while the
laws requiring orchards to be kept clean
are frequently enforced by summary
proceedings such action has never been
necessary in the county, except against
nonresident owners, or those who were
SO deeply mortgaged that they had no
real interest in the property.

PUMPKINS FOR HOGS.
Estimates as to Their Value Based ON
Experiments Conducted at the
Oregon Station.

We did not think pumpkins as valu.
able for feeding to hogs as we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless to throw in a
few when boiling small potatoes OF
other roots for the hogs, as we thought
them too watery when boiled, and they
seemed to be relished better when given
raw. We notice in bulletin sent out
by the Oregon Experiment station
that they tested pumpkins for hogs
weighing 140 to 200 pounds each for
four periods of IA days each. The
pumpkins were cooked with shorts.
For the first two weeks it took 1915
pounds of pumpkins and 2.12 pounds of
shorts to make a pound of gain. The
next two weeks it took 1895 pounds
of pumpkins and 1.3 pounds of shorts.
In the third period 14.39 pounds of the
pumpkin and 1.79 pounds shorts, and
for the last two weeks 14.46 pounds OF
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds of shorts.
The average gain for each hog during
the whole time was about ~ pounds
per day, and counting pumpkins at
$3.50 a ton and shorts at SIP the cost
per pound of gain was 80 cents. This
may have been cheap enough, but we
think it could have been made cheaper
upon raw pumpkins, and by using a lit
tie more shorts, or perhaps mixture
of equal parts of cornmeal and shorts.
After hog weighs 200 pounds alive we
are not afraid to give him as much corn,
meal as he will eat until we get him fat
enough to kill. They tried to increase
the amount of pumpkin and reduce the
amount of shorts, but the pigs object
ed, and, as will be seen above, they had
to increase the proportion of shorts.
We never tested pumpkins for sheep
feeding, but have no doubt they would
work excellently well. We never re-
moved the seeds when feeding them,
and never saw that they were doing any
injury to either cattle or hogs.-Amer.
lean Cultivator.
