MANY SOLDIERS ! I NEEDED

ROBERTS PLANS ALL FAIL.
For the Commanders Escape with the
Transport seryics-Credit for Ensmy's
Success Given to Gen. Botha--London,
Expects to Hear of Severe Fighting.

London. April 30.-In Commandant
Gen. Louis Botha the Beers appear
to have found a capable successor to
Joubert. AS result OF his insight and
quick decision 1t may be assumed now
that the retreating commanders have
gotten safely away with the transport.
1t Is true that Lord Roberts dispatch
leaves much unsaid as to the where
abouts of other forces than those of
Gen. French and Gen. Rumble. Moth
Ing Is said about the troops OF Gen.
Brabant, Pole-Carew, Hart and Cherm-
side, but the indications from Aliwal
| North show that several small COM
mandoes are still lowering in the
vicinity Of Springfield, causing a GER
tain amount of danger, and the ad-
vices from De Vets Dorp outlining the
duties Of Gen. Chermside justify the
| conclusion that it will still be neces-
sary to employ considerable body OF
troops to keep the Free State clear OF
Beers.
Big Battle IL Imminent.
London, April 2S.-Presumably the
British are on the verge of severe fight
chu. The hope of .overtaking and in.
tercepting the Beers, who are retreat,
Ing from Wepener and Dewetsdorp.
has been practically abandoned.
London critics generally expatiate
on Lord Roberts brilliant strategy"
and tho
ton" Of his plans, though the main OBJ
Ject OF the recent comprehensive move
ments, in which between 10000 and
10000 troops were engaged, appears to
have failed.
However. from a British point OF
view satisfaction is undoubtedly war
ranted. as the British field marshal has
succeeded in clearing his rear and
right flank.
The Manchester Guardian grieves
over what 1t calls the disappointing
outlook in the Orange Free State. II
says: Nothing substantial can be
pointed to as the result of our six
weeks operations in the Orange Free
State. The house of commons meets
in mood of dependency and even
bitterness against the management Of
the war"
1t has lately been stated that the
Beers are planning to abandon Pre-
oria and to take up defensive posi-
ton in the Gutenberg district. Defen-
sive positions in that region were
chosen early in the war, but 1t Is
doubtful II that idea excludes the de-
Tense Of Pretoria. 1t Is believed prob
able that the capital will be held as
long as possible by a comparatively
small force, while the main Boer army
devotes itself to breaking commune
cations. blowing up culverts. cutting
on conveys and detachments.

when to cnt Timher.

Timber cut for purposes where dura-
bflity is n consideration is worth from
two to four times as much if cut be-
tween July Is and Aug. l.. as the same
would be cut in January to April. If a
tree is cut after the starch which en-
tiers into its chemical composition has
changed TO sugar, say in March, the
worms, being very fond of this sweet,
become destructive to the wood, but If
cut in July, after the completion of
the spring growth, there is no sugar in
the sap or wood, and they seek some
more savory food. Another reason is
because if cut when the sap is rich in
sugar the fermentive process changes
the sugar into an acid, which is the
very first stage of decay.
Timber land cut off in from January
to April win sprout and grow again
because the sap at this season of the
year is rich in sugar to reproduce the
leaves, which are the lungs as well as
digestive organs of vegetation but if
cut the last of July or the first half of
August dies because deprived of both.
A southern exchange gives this advice
as valuable to those who wish to de-
stroy certain kinds of trees or to clean
up brush land

A well planted wood lot in two or
three years after its establishment
will provide the farmer with a supply
of trees to plant along roads and for
ornamental purposes about buildings
and gardens. AS the trees in a planta-
ton begin to crowd each other many
may be removed with material adyan-
tage to those that remain, care being
taken not to interfere with the shading
of the ground. . The superfuous trees
often pay the cost Of cultivation and
care for the plantation after 1t is once
established
The immediate value Of the wood lot
for fuel viii depend largely upon the
rapidity Of growth of the trees planted
and the fuel value of their products.
Under favorable circumstances after
the wood lot has reached the age Of
from 8 to u years some trees suitable
for fuel and posts can be taken out
yearly without injury to the rest.
After a wood lot has begun to pro.
vide fuel, posts and other material for
farm uses 1t should continue to supply
such products indefinitely. To secure
this result, however, only a limited
amount may be taken out in any single
season.

are They Not Doing the Business
More Harm Than Goods
The profits in the cattle business the
past two seasons have attracted the at
tention of several milIionaires, says the
Michigan Farmer. ana they have de
cided that it is a good line in which to
invest some Of their surplus thousands
or course it is beef cattle they are In
terested in, just as d few years ago
number of the same class of men start
ed herds of dairy cattle and built I'M
possible barns and gigantic silos and
had the dairy Journals filled with long
reports Of the high breeding Of their
herds, their costly plants and the won
derful manner In which their dairy
business was conducted. The result
was disastrous In many instances both
to the particular breeds they were ex-
plotting and the dairy business itself.
Their failures caused a slump in the
value Of dairy cattle from which they
have not yet recovered
The announcement, therefore. that
the millionaires are about to turn their
attention to beef cattle is not one we re-
gard as an unmixed benefit to the beef
breeds nor to the business of raising
beef cattle. Nelson Morris, the Chica-
go beef magnate, has taken up the Gal
loway as his choice and is stocking his
Texas ranch with them and taking
PoIled Angus for his Nebraska range.

Teller Of Standard Oil fame is invest
ing heavily in range property and will
stock up with Shorthorns.
The result of these parties investing
in the breeds mentioned will be to push
up prices to high point, as they can
afford to buy what they like and to
outbid other buyers who must look to
the outcome of their purchases for
their incomes. While they are buying
breeders here and there will make sen
sationaI sales of special animals, and
on the surface it viii look as If the
business was being placed on better
and surer foundation. But when these
men have all the cattle they want and
are ready to sell there will be a drop in
prices that will lntiiet great injury up
on the mass of small breeders, who
really are the best friends and most
active workers in the Introduction Of
improved stock These capitalists will
place the business upon a false basis
and in the end win not only lose money
themselves, but greatly injure every
one else connected with it.

THE HAY HARVEST.


-
Plenty of help and tools tend to
tighten hard work in haylng and har-
vesting. An extra man at just the right
time for one er two hours may mean
the saving Of one or two loads Of val
liable hay. With a good stand Of grass
1t does not take long to cut down few
loads. but with threatening weather it
is sometimes quite task to secure the
hay in good shape.
All tools should be thoroughly over
hauled and put in good condition. New
sections and riyets for the moving ma
chine and some extra guards should be
obtained, as well as few bolts Of va
rious sizes, so as to make as little delay
as possible in the case of a breakdown.
The guards should be sharpened as
wei as the knives, especially If there
is any thick, fine grass to be cut. On
small farms two wagons are usually
enough to handle the hay. The forks
should also be cleaned up and the tines
sharpened.
Start the moving machine as early
In the season as possible, as early cut
hay is worth a good deal more for feed
ing Do not cut any grass while wet
with dew or rain, for it will dry much
quicker when standing than after be-
ing cut The mower should be started
as early in the morning as the grass is
dry and run for few hours. Then
start the tedder, and in the middle of
the afternoon rake in windrows and
put into high, small lunches toward
night Open these out the next morn
ing so that the bottom will be toward
the sun and as soon as fairly dry begin
to draw to the stack or barn. Glover
and cat hay will need sometimes two
or three days of good weather in which
to cure.
On some of the western ranches very
little hay is drawn on wagons. 1t is
cut and cured in, the usual way, and
the horses are hitched to each end of a
big sweep and the hay drawn to the
stack In Pennsylvania and Maryland,
where the farms are often long and
narrow, or in sections where large
farms exist, it is customary to use
four horses for team, with hay rig
ging 20 feet long, but on small farms
and in billy countries rigging u or
IA feet long is large enough.

The importance of cutting meadows
early has been repeatedly urged by the
agricultural press. Many farmers
argue that while they would be glad
to cut early it is better for them to cut
later and suffer the loss in quality con
sequent upon late cutting than to cut
early and perhaps lose the entire crop
because the weather viii probably not
permit them to cure it. An exchange
suggests that those who feel this way
and who realize the value of early cut
clover hay as compared with that
which is cut later in the feeding of
Young, growing stock or dairy cows
would do well to consider hay caps
to assist in curing. A yard square of
cheap muslin properly oiled, with a
string tied to each corner to which Is
fastened a stone or other weight to pre-
vent the wind from raising it, will pro-
tect from sudden showers quite little
amount of clover hay, and if a suffi-
Gent quantity of these are provided
much of the objection taken to early
cutting because Of the difficulty of cur
ing win be done away with. Caps of
this kind are inexpensive aud will last
for years if properly cared for after
haymalzing is over. When stored, they
should be laid out fiat on top Of each
other and not folded. otherwise the oil
ed cloth viii have a tendency TO crack
at the folds.
