Rack-Furrowlne Pays.

In blowing clay lands nearly etl the
advantages of understanding can be
obtained by back-furrowing into mar
row beds, and by leaving q strip two
or three feet Vide between the beds
unplowed. 1t practically does away
with the trouble of outlying by heavy
rains, as there are two channels instead
of one to carry Off the water. No per-
ceptible difference In growth for yield
or crop can be seen in the dead burrows
after being put in with modern i'm
proved implements, and there is saw
Ing of four burrows in blowing each
land or bed-two in the middle of the
bed and two at the dead furrow. The
great advantage of back-furrowing over
level culture when blowing is done
in the fall Is that very often crops can
be sown several weeks earlier, making
a fine crop and good catch of grass,
when later sowing would fail.-Prairie

Land that Is plowed deep endures
the droughts better than shallow
plowed land, as there Is greater abb
sorption of moisture. In other words,
the deeper the soil is plowed the greater
its capacity for holding water. To pre-
vent loss of this moisture the top soil
should be cultivated 80 as to simply
loosen it, which prevents evaporation
and at the same time keeps the weeds
down. The water in the soil escapes
at the surface, and this should be pre-
vented by a mulch of loose dirt over

vantage to be derived from this enter
prising move. 1t not only affords them
an opportunity to transact business
among themselves, but they have ar
ranged to get market quotations daily
from the telegraph station. This in
formation Is invaluable to the cattle
kings.
In addition to the lines now in opera
ton further extensions are to be made.
The success of the wire-fence tele-
phone first established between Liberal
and Brown ranch on Sharp creek, dis
lance of ten miles, demonstrated the
value of the Urea, and another line will
be started to Beaver, o. t., and one to
Hardesty, Tex.
These extensions will require but lit
tie outlay of money, nothing but the
labor required where fences can be-
used. When this cannot be done the
surveys follow the streams where the
timber is used for poles. This energetic
move has awakened lively interest at
the markets. Wichita, which has be-
come large stock market IN recent
years by reason of its packing indus
tries, is making an effort to have q
branch of the line reach that place.
This would put the ranchmen In talk
ing distance with commission firms, to
whom they sell stock.
The plan is one of untold advantage
to stock owners, and will be pushed
until the complete benefits have been
derived.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. H-In consid-
Grafton of three important amendments to
the constitution of the organization and IN
celebrating the silver jubilee of the soCl-
ETY.. the delegates to the Womens S Chris
tian Temperance Union Convention passed
the second day of the session. Two Of
three amendments were adopted. One OF
these removes the headquarters of the ma
tional organization from Chicago, where
they have been located for many years,
to Evansville, H., at Rest Cottage, the
late home OF Miss Frances E. Willard
The amendment was adopted after long
and at times heated debate, in which
much feeling was manifested When the
vote was taken, shortly after noon. II
stood ia for the amendment and Y
against II.
No little interest was manifested in the
debate over the amendment making ma
fional organizers members of the eXecu-
tive committee of the union 1t was
voted down after considerable debate py
a two-t thirds vote.
Another amendment making state sec
retaries of the Loyal Temperance Legion
ex-officio delegates to national conNen-
tions was carried without opposition.
The afternoon programme was largely
given over to the celebration of the tWen-
ty-fifth anniversary of the formauon OF
the union.
Mrs. Mary B. Reese of this city who
nominated Miss Willard for president or
the union at the first convention (Which
nomination she declined). spoke to the
convention. During the remainder of the
afternoon the convention listened to short
addresses from the State superintendents
and visitors.

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
TO MEET MKlNLEY

WASHINGTON. Oct H-Arrangements
have been perfected by the State Depart
ment for meeting Of the Philippine com
mission on either Monday or Tuesday, in
Washington. A telegram received by Sec
retary Hay announces that Colonel Denby
and Professor Worcester will reach this
city on Monday. Mr.. Schurman, the pres
ident of the commission, has been direct
ed to come and meet his colleagues and
Secretary Long has given orders to Ad-
miral Dewey assigning him to special
duty in connection with the commission.
The only absentee, therefore, will be Cen
eral Otis, who has cOnfided his views 20
his associates and who doubtless will be
frequently communicated with by cable.
1t is expected the President will see
Colonel DENLY and Professor Worcester
Immediately upon their arrival and learn
the condition OF affairs at the time of their
departure. OF course cable advices have
been received, but they do not show that
any important change in the situation
has taken place since the departure of
the two commissioners, with the execution
of the new military move made by Gen.
eral Otis. Therefore, the news that Colo
mel DENLY and Professor Worcester
brought viii be fresh and doubtless will
be useful in connection with the work of
the commission.
The commission will recommend the
character of government for the several
tribes in the archipelago and will report
eXhaustively upon the sociological indus
trial and economic conditions prevailing
on the islands. The views of the COM
mission will be useful TO the President in
the preparation of his forthcoming mes
sage.
Admiral Dewey believes that the cam
paign which General Otis has begun north
of Manila viii surely crush the insurrec-
ton He and other officials are especially
pleased with the policy of establishing
garrisons, which General Otis has begun
at San Isidro. AS understood by the War
Department all important points here
after occupied will be garrtsoned and the
country in the immediate neighborhood
provided with permanent protection so
that the natives can return undisturbed
to their usual avocations. The execution
of such policy will. the officials believe,
have an important effect upon the Fill
pinos and will aid in bringing the revolt
an end.

FILIPINO CHURCHES
HAVE NOT BEEN LOOTED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-Father W. D.
McKinnon, chaplain of the First Califor-

ment sixteen months in the Philippines,
called at the White House to-day and
had short talk with the President When
asked concerning the stories of church de-
struction in the Philippines, Father Nc
Kinnon said that the stories attributing
this to American soldiers were entirely
unfounded.
1T is true said he. that a good many
churches have been looted and stripped,
but this has been the work of Cinnamon
in nearly every case. The lootlng has
usually been between the evacuation of a
town by the rebels. and the entry of the
American forces.
