ABOUT WHEAT GROWING.
An Experienced Farmer Gives
Some Valuable Pointers.
ID Il l. in YorkviIlc Enquirer.

In proportion to the labor ex-
pended there is more profit in
wheat than in any other crop of
which | have any knowledge.
Less than two days labor will be
sufficient for an acre of wheat
from start to finish, anG bushcl
of wheat in II farmers barn is
worth n dollar 10 him. leave it
to any farmer Who doubts this
proposition to take the market
report and make his own calcula
tionS.
Again, wheat is strictly and
truly surplus crop, for it does
not interfere in the least with the
cultivation of other crops.
SOW about tour acres of wheat to
the plow, and | make about as
much corn and cotton as do my
neighbors who SOW no wheat at
all. have observed that this
rule applies to all who make their
own bread. Invariably they
make as much corn and cotton rs
do their neighbOrs who depend
upon converting their receipts
from cotton into bread. Also
they have the satisfaction Of know
ing that they have pure food on
their tables.
One of the reasons why so many
people fail to make wheat is be-
cause of seeding too heavily. it
is my experience that one half
bushel to the acre Is enough for
any land in this region, if proper
ly put in. by being properly
put in, | mean that the land should
be thoroughly plowed and pulvcr>
lZcd, the manure spread on the
grain, and the gram covered to n
depth of no more than one inch
Wheat covered to too great II
depth will never stoop we'll and,
therefore, it cannot make Il good
crop.
Another cause of failure is TOO
late sowing. All varieties that
ripen the 10th of June should be
put in between the 25th of Octo-
Der and the 9TH of November.
Later varieties should be gotten
IN earlier.
After selecting good land and
putting it in good heart by sow
ing peas and turning them under,
the next thing the farmer should
look to is the seed, for which he
ougAt not 90 out of his own Iati~
tude. Northern whcats have to
be acclimatized before good Yields
can be expected from them. This
fact has been settled by the ex-
pertinent stations. After > or 3
years sowing, northern whcats
will give better yield 10y two or
three bushels to the acre.

WILL PIT SH CLAIMS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The law
board of the Department of State to-
day decided to entertain the claims OF
| the American miners driven out of At
| lin as an international question. The
miners will have to prove that their
property was of value and also that
the British Columbia act and its ad-
ministration was the cause Of their
| loss. If they can do this there is little
doubt but Canada will have to make
some form Of reparation. The State
| Department authorized Colonel Lewis
chief counsel for the miners, to pres
ent the details of their claims directly
to ambassador Choate, who will in
turn, by request Of Secretary Hay, pre-
sent to Lord Salisbury an official re-
quest for some joint tribunal to decide
on the merits of the claims.
The Canadian Government has seen
| in this good chance to press the Dor
der controversy. Premier Laurier OF
Canada, it is understood here, will 60
| to London, and, accompanied by Minis
| ter of Fisheries Davie, insist that nc
action be taken concerning the Atlin
mining matter or any other Of the Am
erican claims, except upon condition
that America will include in arbitra-
ton the border contention and admit
at the outset that it is an open ques-
ton as to whether Benin canal OF
Portland channel was the waterway
mentioned as the border in the treaty
of purchase between the United States
| and Russia. Everything is being done
to force concessions by the United
States upon the border. 1t is very
probable that the rights of the Attn
miners as we'll as all other questions
before the American-Canadian Com
mission will be made to turn exclusive,
" upon the willingness of the United
States to arbitrate the border question
at the same time.

are pointed to as proofs of the in

France Emperor William said Mon
day, while conversing with Generals
Porthes and Carstein, during the par
ade at Mayence: Revolution is in

The comment Of the press of every
stripe of political faith on the matter
is about the same, many expressing
doubt whether France can recover. The
Kreuz Zeitung asks: Who will be
the savior to rescue France from per-
dition?" adding: But, of course, the
disintegrating influence of Judaism
has already penetrated too far
The Tageblatt expresses doubt as to
whether the Paris exposition of 1906
will really be held. 1t claims that a
majority of the Germans who had in
tended to go will now stay at home, as
they are not certain that life and pro-
perty would be safe in France.

1RANSVAAL TALK
Settlement of Crisis Not
in Sight.
Cha mberlain Declares That War is
Proba ble-Colonies With the
Mother Country.

BIRMINGHAM. Eng, August 90
| In throwing open his own gardens
here this afternoon to the members OF
ST. Bartholomew Ward Liberal Union
lists, Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, was drawn into
the most important speech on the
| Transvaal situation he has made since
| the adjournment Of Parliament
But what am ! to talk about?'
asked the Secretary, in beginning.
| Cries of The Transvaal.''
| YES" he replied, Il know there is
one subject which is very deep in all
your hearts and about which l cannot
| talk or say much, lest l do harm-that
is, the relation of our race with the
Transvaal Government. 1 wish that !
| could tell you today that the difficulties
existing for so many years between
her Majesty's Government and the oil
garchy in Pretoria, which has assumed
such an acute form during the past
few years, were happily settled.
But, unfortunately, that is not yet
In my power. AS you know, for three
months we have been at work Presi-
dent Kruger has made, perhaps, some
little progress, but 1 cannot truly say
| that the crisis is past. President Krue-
ger procrastinates in his reply. He
dribbles each reply. like water from a
squeezed sponge. His offers are &C
companied with conditions which he
knows to be impossible, Or he refuses
to allow us to make a satisfactory in
vestigation of their nature.
4 do not think it will be denied that
we have exhibited unparalleled pa
thence in the relations between para
mount and subordinate state. The
situation is too fraught with danger;
it is too strained for indefinite propo-
SltlOn. The knot must be lOOSened, to
use Mr.. Balfour's words, or else we
shall have to find other ways of unite
ing it.
If we are forced to do that, then
would repeat now the words used by
Lord Salisbury in the House of Lords.
1 say that, if forced to make further
preparation, if this delay continues
much longer, we shall not hold our
selves limited by what we have al
ready offered, but having taken this
til we have secured conditions which,
once for all, will establish us as the
paramount power in South Africa, and
secure for us our objects there, equal
right and privileges promised by Pres
ident Kruger when the Transvaals
independence was granted
IF it comes to this, if the rupture
which we have done everything in our
power to avoid, is forced upon us, am
confident we shall have the support,
not only Of the vast majority of Brit
ons, but of the whole Empire. In all
this bad business there is one thing
upon which we can congratulate our
selves, and that is the unity of the
Empire. No British subject can suffer
injustice anywhere without awakening
a responsive chord in our most distant
colonies which stand together in main
tanning the honor and integrity of the
Empire

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-BefOre 1000

Jack Mccormack. of Philadelphia, won
by a fiuke a few weeks ago in Chicago
when he knocked Mccoy out. They
met at catch weights for a twenty
round go and Mccoy reversed matters
in a very thorough manner. He simply
smothered the big wrestler, and made
him look like a novice. He sent him
down several times. but Mccormack
was not satisfied with these breathing
spells, as he lay down several times
without receiving a punch.
He also transgressed the rules by
holding and wrestling and was fire.
Quently cautioned. The spectators be-
came disgusted with McCormacRs Ac-
tIons and so did Referee Charley White,
who sent him to his corner In the eighth
round on account OF his dropping and
declared Mccoy the winner. Before the
fight Mccoy was the favorite at 10 to
3. Even money was wagered that the
fight would not last six rounds. After
the men had entered the ring. Peter
Maher challenged the winner. McCor-
mack looked twice as big as Mccoy.

Ofthe HarbOr Takes on the appear

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--Viewed from
the shore skirtlng either Staten Island
or Bay Ridge, the Nnrrows took on the
appearance tonight OF n big water
fete, n Venetian carnival. What might
have been taken for a great canal was
formed by revenue cutters and war
ships, beginning with the Olympia, at
st. George. and ending with the oonon-
daga, lying OF quarantine.
Between this line OF beautifully light
cd warships and the Staten Island
shore, darted brilliantly illuminated
launches carrying prettily gowned wo-
men, and occasionally party OF naval
officers, rcsplendent In gold braided
dress uniforms.
The Olympia was the center OF at
trnction. The vari-colored lights used
for slgDnlling were kept constantly
flashing from ship to ship, and at stated
intervals a long succession Of cOl0red
lights would flash out like n sudden
display Of fireworks when n number OF
vessels would simultaneously send mes
sages to the guardshlp.
The most unique illumination along
the shores OF the harbOr was the of-

OF Malabon to Rise Against the
American Garrison.-A Small
Force ON Duty There.
Two MAYORS WERE CHOSEN

The American Prisoners are
Treated in Royal Style

MANILA, Sept. a.-g:12 p. MI
The insurgents are trying to inclte the
natives Of Malabon, a city of 10000 in
habltants, Eve miles from Manila, to
rise against the American garrison.
Captain Allen has been holding the
place with two companies of the six
teenth infantry, but on account OF the
need OF all the available men, at the
front, his force has been reduced to
seventy men. They now remain near
the big church, where they are quar-
tered, being too few in number to at
tempt to patrol the town. Armed, uni
formed parties of insurgents recently
disembarked from cascoes and during
the night collected money for the IN
surrection and preached revolt. Two
mayors have been elected, but both of
them have declined to serve.
Malabon has been made the shipping
point whence provisions and other stun
are brought from Manila bay by trains
and shipped into the hostile territory,
The Insurgents seem to be trying to
make their good treatment of Ameri-
can prisoners a card by which to gain
outside sympathy. Two Engllshmen
who have arrived here from Tarlac, re-
port that the Americans are treated
more like guests than prisoners. They
are fed on the best that the country
afrords, and everything is done to gain
their favor.
The Engllshmen also say the Fiji
pinos have offered all the Americans
commissions In their army, and that
three Of them accepted. This is not be-
iieved.
American officers north of Manila tell
the correspondents of the Associated
Press that Agulnaldo is attempting to
force good government after the Amer
ican fashion, ordering his soldiers to
suppress a band Of robbers, three of
whom were executed at Mariquima. he
has also prohibited gambling in the
villages under his control. Paterno, the
president Of the so-called Filipino cab
met, has fallen into dlsfavor among
the FillpInos on account of his peace
procllvltles. They suspect him OF plan
ming to repeat his treachery of the for
mer insurrection, when he went over to
the spanIards. and they may expel
him,
Agulnaldo has issued a decree invit-
ing Filipino deserters to return within
month, In which case they will be
hardened.

iron association has sold all its product
IN to April and is only taking orders
for delivery between April and October
Of next year. AS most OF the proouce

rails are In demand and have been pur-
chased for delivery at the mill for $5l
