LONDON DISSENTING THE TOP

Will the war leave it's mark upon the social customs and habits of London ? Little signs are not wanting that it will. The comfort of the khaki hat. for instance has been an experience too prolonged in many cases to be lightly left aside. The Duke of Norfolk has early set an example by having a soft black hat, first cousin of the wide awake, yet with a reminiscence of mil itarisn in it, made for London wear. He has ediffed the Carlton club with it during the last two or three days, and has already made more than one con- vert besides confirming the faith of halt1ng others. Certainly in all the clubs on Saturday the top hat had a number of deserters far in excess of any figure that past years could pro- vide.-London Chronicle.

MANY REBELS SURRENDER
9,1SO BOLOMEN SWEAR ALLEGL- ANCE TO AMERICA.
No Rifles sSurrendered-Address Made by eneral Young-Necessity of occupy ing All Barriers to Protect Natives.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The war de- partment to-day received the following dispatch telling of the voluntary sur render of a large number of insurrectos to General Young at Santa Maria, The omission in the telegram comes or faulty transmission or an inability plausibly to decipher the missing words:
 Malacanan - Manila,
 Adiutant General, Washington: Two thousand one hundred and eighty Kati- punan insurrectos whom Conslque en- rolled (bolomen) came from mountains and surrendered to General Samuel B. M. Young to-day at Santa Maria. (They) renounce instruction and sWore allegiance to the United States. The oath was administered by the padre (priest) at the church with impressive religious ceremonies. General Young attributes the surrender to presidents reelection and vigorous prosecution of the war. Although no rifles surrender ed, this is important as indicating re- action among the people. - - Movable columns Samar, Panay, com menced operations 18th. Regiment U. S. Volunteer Infantry goes to Minda- mao. Macarthur.
 Santa Maria is a town of 10,030 ln- habitants, situated nineteen miles from Vigan. in the province of Ilocas Sur.
 Manila, Dec. 9.-On Sunday in Vigan 2,200 natives of the region. nearly all fighting insurgents, crowded the church and took the oath of allegiance to the United States. The oath was admins tered by the priest. All but 800 of those sworn were bolomen. The number in- cluded the 1,200 bolomen who had pre- Yiously surrendered.
 The proceedings in the church occu- pied the entire day, and included an address by General Young and an ex- hortation by the priest. Scarcely any insurgents remain in the vicinity of Santa Maria. General Young attributes this fact to three causes-the reelection of President Mckinley, the arrival of a stronger body of troops, and the es- pecially rigid enforcement of war meas ures and the deportation of the prison CTS to Manila. He reports that it is necessary to occupy all the barriers in order to protect the natives from the | of Tagalog raiders.

What Good Meat.

Poisoning by alimentary substances
is so frequent and the grave symptoms
following the ingestion of tainted food
are often so transitory that their causes
elude detection, says The Sanitary Rec
ord. Recently it has been proposed tc
make use of the dumping reactions,
made familiar by the Vidal test, to de-
termine the bacillaemic qualities OF
meat, and it would seem that the meth
cd promises much. 1t may be wise to
recall a few of the characteristics OF
sound meat. Good, wholesome meat is
neither of pale pinkish nor of deep
purple tint 1t has marked appear
ance, from the ramifcation of little
veins or intercellular fat. The fat of
the internal organs especially is firm,
hard and suety and is never wet,
whereas that of diseased animals is Of
ten soft and watery. Coed meat has
but little odor, whereas diseased meat
smells faint and cadaverous. Good meat
bears cooking without much shrinking
or losing much of its weight, but bad
meat shriyels up and boils to pieces,
this being due to the larger proportion
OF watery and gelatinous material and
the absence of true muscular substance.
Under the microscope the fiber should
be clear and well defined and free from
infusorial animalculae, while that of
diseased meat is sodden, as if it had
been soaked in water. The transverse
streaks are indistinct and wide apart,
and animalculae abound in it,

Fattening Hogs Early.

The most common mistake of farmers
in feeding hogs, though much less FREE
quently made than it used to be, is to
starve or half starve the animals
through the early summer and only be-
gin to feed heavily when cornhusking
begins, says the Boston Cultiyator The
soft nubbins are always given first, and
the pig S stomach, unused to such heavy
food, is unable to digest it, with the
result that it ferments in the stomach,
and this causes acid to rise in the
mouth, making it sore as soon as the
corn is hard for the pis to chew
1t is often said that allowing pigs to
run in orchards and pick up sour apples
is what makes their teeth sore. 1t is
true that a pig which has sore mouth
and aching teeth has also generally an
acid mouth, but the sourness comes
from fermentation in the stomach, not
from something sour originally put into
it. If the apples are cooked and dry
corn is ground into meal and mixed
with them, there will be no sore mouth.
The small potatoes, refuse beets and
other roots, if cooked and also pump
kins, make an excellent base with which
to feed any kinds of grains. The grain
may be cooked with the roots, and,
thus softened, it will digest nearly as
well as if dried and ground But it
must be remembered in feeding cooked
grain or meal that the grain swells so
that it has less bulk than grain or meal
that has not been cooked. The hogs fill
themselves with it, and as it digests
more quickly than knocked food they
require to be fed more frequently.

size, shape, pace and disposition depend
upon the dam, and so they may be bred
at will for the saddle or for heavy or
light draft 1t is only necessary to Sc
lect mares possessing the qualities de-
sired. Thus crossing with mares of the
heavy Percherons or Suffolks gives re-
broids that are large and very strong,
while mating with Arabs and Normans
produces small and slender zebroids,
tractable and suitable for work that re-
quires quickness. The hybrids are softer
mouthed than mules, they never kick,
and, though when first handled they
have an inclination to bite, they give
this up when they find that there is no
intention to hurt them.
The baron's stud of zebras is derived
from the Transvaal, where at the pres
ent time these striped relatives of the
horse are being employed to consider
able extent as beasts of burden and
especially for coach teams Frequently
they are driven fourth hand in the two
wheeled Cape carts: They may be pur-
chased in Pretoria or Johannesburg for
$50 to $3.50 each.

ZEBROlDS.
Z Hybrids which May supplant :
I MuleS-Cross Between Zc- !
). bra and Horse.
eeeoeeeeoee o Q eaes

The Brazilian minister at Washing
ton has furnished to the bureau of anil
NAL industry some interesting facts
about what he calls 'zebroids III. e.,
crosses between the zebra and the horse
which are being bred by Baron de
Parana on his plantation in the state of
Rio .Janeiro. 1t appears that the object
of these experiments is to produce
larger and handsomer hybrid than the
mule, and one which, as proved by re-
suits already obtained, is more valu-
able animal. The baron declares that
the zebroid will prove Of great economic
Importance, and that ii will be, in fact,
the mule of the twentieth century, sup
planting the humble but eantankerous
offspring of the ass and the mare
The baron imported his zebras from
Africa expressly for this purpose, and
he says of the hybrids produced that
they are very sprightly, though at the
same time gentle and docile, and have
extraordinary muscular strength Their

NEW GRASSES.
Attempts TO Improve the Pasturage
of Western Ranches

Tbs department of agriculture has
had some Of its best qualified specialists
in the field investigating grasses, water
supply and other conditions of vital in
terest to live stock growers of the pas
toral regions Professor Scribner of the
bureau of agrostology brings back some
diseouraging advices from localities Wis
| tied by him. In a recent interview he
stated that 'the ranches on the east Of
| the Rocky mountains are in a deplor-
able condition, some containing as
many as 10, 200 sheep, with not NOR
sci of grass for food 1t is common
saying that it now requires 80 acres to
raise a steer out there No wonder
prices Of meat are advancing all over
the csnHtry. My object in the investi-
gaticn Is to procure plant that will
restore these ranches Some arrange
ments will have to be made to lease the
land to the stock raisers. The depart
ment has already started grass and for
est plants in the Walla Walla district.
In the Yakima district, Washington,
great quantities of stock are now being
raised on alfalfa. They can raise nine
tons of this plant to an acre. 1t nets
| SIT. 80 profit to the acre. The land has
to depend ON artificial irrigation, how
ever, and usually couple of arteHian
wells will suffice for the strip. They
just turn ON the water and raise alfalfa
without lifting hand Rye corn and
wheat ON these lands have also become
a failure.
81 inspected the grass at Walla Walla,
where a grass farm was established last
year, for testing the adaptability of
various grasses TO the climate east of
| the Rocky mountains and for investi-
eating the habits of growth of new and
untried varieties. / was much pleased
with theiexperiments. A forage plant
of much prominence and entirely new
to agriculture is the mercalie bean,
which l procured from New Mexico.
This bean is making fine growth at
this experimental station and may
prove to be as valuable to the dry
regions east of the mountains as the
velvet bean is to the gulf states. l also
tested may other new kinds of lands
and grasses in various parts OF Oregon.
| think a grass will be found 10 take
the place of the bunch grass of eastern
Oregon that will stand drought and
transplanting. 1t will be boon to the
stock raiser of those sections.
Il spent some time in California in
the region of Astoria. here examined
the grass in use in sandy soil, some of
which was planted last year as an ex-
pertinent. l found it success, and it
is now called Astoria blue grass This
grass will thrive in pure sand and is
relished by stock not only ON the coast,
bat in the interior country The propa-
CATION of this grass will prevent sand
drifts, such as they have on the Column
bia river, which cover big trees, some
times forests, and are very destructive
