STORIES OF ATROCITIES
IN HUMAN PROVINCE

Washington. Sept. 22.-An Official
communication coming through diplo-
matte channels has been brought to the
ttention of the State Department
giving information as to conditions IL
the Yang Use Kiang valley and also
giving details and fully authenticating
instances OF atrocities in the province
OF Human against Christian mission
aries. The account is given by one of
the Christian missionaries who escaped
and who makes the report through the
officials of the Government now for
warding it to Washington.
In one case, it is stated, missionary
had his eyes burned out. then a por-
ton Of his body was cut of, and finally
q red hot staff was driven through his
back. In another case a missionary
was wrapped in cotton, the cotton was
soaked in oil and the mass set on fire.
Concerning conditions in the Yang
Use Kiang valley the report states that
the NlceroyS there nave exercised
most pacific influence, despite orders to
the contrary from Peking. It appears
that the Picking Government ordered
the Viceroys to assemble large army
and march to the north. But as the
Viceroys personally were opposed to an
crusade, the order was not

the order. This action of the Yang Use
Viceroys in resisting the Picking in
fluence against the foreigners, is said
to have had an important effect in pre-
venting general spread Of disorders.

much of the crop will still further

one and the work is delayed.
When the ears have we'll filled out,
and gotten beyond the stage at
which the grains are easily indent-
ed with the finger, they will gain
but little more in nutrition, and
the stalks should then be cut, for
when the ears are not hard the
stalks are more succulent. It 10
no loss to save the stove. before
the ears are hard and dry. II the
harvesting is delayed until the
leaves begin to turn it is then too
late to save the fodder in
it's best condition. Like hay, it 10
only prime when made from green
material, and quickly cured, but
the stalks and graip should be
harvested as near to the maturity
of both as possible without going
beyond that stage. The corn
harvester, corn shredder and i'm.
proved feed cutter are labor-saving
machines that make the
stover really more valuable
than the grain. When harvesting
is over the stalks should be taken
to the barn or put under shelter.
1t ia not creditable to American
farmers that they allow the shocks
of corn fodder to remain in the
fields exposed to storms, aud which
the cattle will not consume. When
properly harvested, cared, for, and
prepared for stock, the animals
will readily accept corn

Erolite Fell So Close to Travellers
That They Felt It's Heat.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. E. Monroe, of
Monticello, Sullivan county. N. Y,
WHO are making a tour in a carri-
age, were sufficiently close to an
aerolite that last night dropped
into the ground to feel it's heat.
They left Muncy about noon, and
were on their way to this city,
where they intended to spend the
night. They lost their way, and
about midnight found themselves
on q lonely stretch of road remote
from any dwelling. The spot,
about 10 miles from this place, is
low and swampy and surrounded
by wooded hills. Suddenly tn Q
sky was illuminated with strange
light, whic the next instant lit up
the entire landscape, giving it q
brilliancy that was binding. At
the same instant q loud hiss or
swishing sound struck the ears of
the man and woman, and
simultaneously, it seemed, q blazing
mass, not more than 10 Yards
ahead, struck the earth. The
roadway trembled under the
mighty impact. The occupants Of
the buggy were nearly overcome
by the appalling spectacle, while
the horse stood trembling in it's
tracks.
Mr.. Monroe .alighted from the
buggy and led horse to the spot
where the aerolite had struck.
The only trace of the celestial
visitor was q volume of steam,
which rose from the spot. indicat.
ing the presence of water. Mrs.
Monroe was made quite i'll BY the
shock, and the couple were obliged
to stop at a farmhouse for the
night.

Oppose Tompkins.

Washington, Aug. 14.-some
opposition has been aroused among
the Democrats against the appoint.
ment of Daniel A. Tompkins, OF
Charlotte, N. G. as a member OF
the industrial commission. The
commission is bipartisan and the
claim is made that Tompkins is
not a Democrat. In 1896 Mr..
Tom okins was gold Democrat.
His confirmation will likely be
fought in the senate.
The above telegram shows the
current of opposition of businesl
men to politics being introduced
into business. The appointment
did not surprise US aud its failure
of confirmation will not come in
the form of q shock.--Ex.

Harvesting The Corn.

The most important work con
nected with the corn crop is the
harvesting. This is not consider
ed a difficult operation, as farmers
are not disposed to be as careful as
with wheat. The harvesting of
corn at the proper time, however,
is very important matter, as the
nutritive value of the corn fodder
largely depends upon the stage of
growth at which it is cut down.
A delay of day or two may make
considerable difference in its
quality, and livestock will accept
| it with relish if the fodder is cut.
and cured at proper time, some
portions ususlly rejected being
consumed when presented to the
animals in q palatable condition.
Corn should never be lsft in the
field a day longer than is necessary.
Not a single blade should become
yellow, as the more succulent the
fodder at the time of harvesting
the greater It's feeding value.
When crop of corn is grown und-
er favorable conditions the weight
of the grain and that of the stalks
and leaves will be about the same;
that is, the stover of the crop.
which is not to be considered
when fodder corn (Which is grown
for its fodder only) is mentioned.
The term, "corn fodder" is mos
frequently used than ''stoyer,0
however, "ensilage" being grown
for the silo and "fodder corn to
be harvested when the ears are
beginning the milky stage. Il is
estimated that when timothy hay
is worth $40 per ton corn stover
is worth $6,S8, and and fodder
corn $7,75, these values being
based largely upon the proportions
of digestible protein contained,
although they are also rich in
carbohydrates. On tha same basis
good red clover hay is worth $22
33. The corn stover is, therefore,
a very valuable crop, but is more
largely wasted then any other.
