Our Philippine Foes.

A Kansas soldier in the Philippines,
writing home some time ago, spoke thus
Of Aguinaldo's cabinet "Mauy OF them

tional ability, most Of them are honest,
some are rascals Of the worst typs md all
need to learn something Of the Hrt ard
science Of war. If they are ever o1r:aged
in a deadly conflict, they will bc found
wanting in the commonest class u. mill
tary movements and will have ,llr5. fol-
lowers slaughtered like sheep In a catcher
pen. All they know about war In what
they have learned in resisting the span

guerrilla warfare of the poorest soF', To

them, and they are not inclined 20 face

FOUR VARIETIES OF KNs1LAGE CORN.
has been the main crop here until three
years ago Last year we planted about
half the crop to each. The present sea-
son fully three-fourths Of the ensilage
crop was of the Leaning.
Unlike the Sanford, which is a white
flint. the Leaning is yellow dent
corn, and is one Of the earliest grown.
The ears are large and handsome. with
deep grain and small cob. The stalks
grow to medium size, from one to
two feet taller than the Sanford. It is
very leafy and usually produces two
good ears to the stalk. 1t adapts itself
to various kinds of soils equally as well
as the Sanford.
The comparative yields Of the two
varieties during the past seasons have
been from two to four tons per acre in
favor of the Leaning. Not only has
the yield been much better, but Pro-
lessor Morse. who has had charge Of the
feeding experiments tells ME that the
ensilage is equally as good as that Of
the Sanford, and changing from the
enc to the other makes no perceptible
difference in the milk flow or its COM
position.
1t is hoped that all who are interest
ed in ensilage will give the Leaning
corn small trial at least. The cut is q

Sugar Beets and Sorghum In Ohio.
The general results of analyses Of
sugar beets for S9S in Ohio show that
the beets were less rich in sugar and
showed lower purity than in 1897.
Many fine plots of beets were grown in
the state, however, notwithstanding
these less favorable results. Taking the
experience of the two seasons. it is evil
dent that the problem of profitable beet
sugar production is not yet solved, for
the northern third of the state at least.
The state station desires that tests
should be repeated by those who have
had experience in growing beets in
1897 and 1898, and to this end it will
furnish tested seed in quantities suffi-
cient to plant one-fourth to onehalf
acre of beets to such as will undertake
to carry out the test and report the re-
suits as in 1898. The station also offers
to send out sorghum seed raised under
the auspices Of the national department
of agriculture at Medicine Lodge. Kan.
1t desires to send this sorghum seed es-
pecially into the southern counties,
where experience has shown the condi-
tions to be unsuited to the culture Of
the sugar beet. Farmers willing to CO.
operate should send their addresses at
once to the experiment station. Woos-
ter, O.. stating the area of land which
they are willing to cultivate.

Curious Oriental Customs.

There are many traits of character
and custom in which the Arabs and
Turks are our antipodes. They shave
the head but not the chin, and we the
reverse. With us the uncovering of the
head in the presence of another is a
mark Of respect; with them mark Of
disrespect. When they go into place
of worship they keep on the hat and
take off the shoes and slippers; we do
the opposite. They mount on the right
side of horse, and we on the left.
They write from right to left, and we
from left to right. We show our good
breeding by taking the outside when we
pass persons on the street; they by
passing nearest to the wall. They do
the honors of the table by serving
themselves first: we serve ourselves
last. If a friend inquiries after your
wife, you regard it as compliment; to
inquire after theirs Is an insult. Their
mourning dress is white, our black.
They finish their wooden houses from
the top downward, and we from the
foundation up. The men wear frocks
and the women pantaloons. We wash
the hands by dipping them in water;
they by having water poured upon
them.

Leaving 1t to the Jury.

A story is told of judge who up to
his death sat on the crown side on the
South Wales circuit. Counsel for the
defense once asked leave to address the
jury in Welsh, and the case being a
simple one, permission was given with
out demur He said but very few
words; the judge also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by prompt verdict
of acquittal
"What was it," he afterward in
quired, "that counsel said to the jury?'
"Oh, he just said: This case, gentle
men, lies in q nutshell. You see your
selves exactly how it stands. The judge
is an Englishman, the prosecuting coun.
sci is an Englishman, the complainant
is an Englishman. But you are Welsh,
and I am Welsh, and the prisoner is
Welsh. Need say more? leave it all
Co you.
The judge did not allow the expert
ment to be repeated Of addresses to the
jury in a vernacular which he did not
understand. Mail.
