In the Havana Postohice Scandal.
More Arrests VIII Be Made.
HAVANA, May 10.-The postal
frauds have now reached a point where
within the next few hours arrests will
probably be made and it is believed a
considerable sum will be recovered at
the same time. One of the culprits has
made a complete confession, condi-
tional upon being accepted as States
evidence. What he says proves con-
clusively what was known before that
several others besides Charles T. w
Neeley, late financial agent of posts at
Havana, are more or less implicated
The exact dates have been obtained
by the authorities. The latter refuse
to give the name of the man who has
confessed, but though shocked at the
nature Of the cold blooded swindle and
conspiracy, they are still glad that they
have evidence to completely justify
their action in regard to Nicely.

To-MoRRow,s PRIMARIES.

Every Democratic voter in Ohio
county should go to the polls at to-
morrow's primary election and cast
his vote for the candidate of his choice.
There is, to be sure. no contest for
either Sheriff or Prosecuting Attorney,
but there is no lack OF candidates for
the minor county and district offices,
and the material to choose from is
uniformly good Especial attention
should be paid to the candidates for
Assessors and the Board OF County
Commissioners, for the one deal with
the basis for the collection OF taxes
and the other with county legislation
and the spending Of the money. The
suggestions made for these offices are
such as to ensure candidates both pop
ular and capable. Let the Democracy
go to the polls and register choice.

A Strange Coincidence.

Chicago Chronicle.
On December 8, 1864, a vessel crossing
the Menai strait with 81 passengers on
board encountered a terrific gale and
foundered. The only man who escaped
was Hugh Williams. More than 104 years
later, on December 5, 1880, another vessel
with a large number OF passengers sank
in the same circumstances and In the
same place. All the passengers were
drowned except one, Hugh Williams.
Again, on December g. 1920, a boat laden
with 30 people sank in the same spot. The
sole survivor once more was Hugh Will
liams.

size of pieces of stalk. The ordinary
silage cutter has been utilized by
some for this purpose, but the short
pieces of hard stalk are apt to injure
the animals mouth to such an ex-
tent as to make it's use Improbable.
For some years so-called shredders
have been used with success, they
differing from the cutter in that
they first crush the stalk as it passes
through the rolls, and then tear or
shred it into small pieces by the ac-
tiOn of spikes, saws, or teeth; but
not knives that give a shear cut. For
some years we have been using an
implement of this sort, only besides
shredding the stover the corn is
husked by the same operation, it's
work having been discussed in bulle-
tin No. SO. Since this bulletin was
published in 1898 we have been using
the same machine, husking all our
cOrn-from thirty-five to seventy
acres-and housing the stover in
barns so far as room allowed, and
the balance was placed in stacks or
ricks near the buildings. We were
warned that, the stover would not
keep either in the barn or in STACK,
some backing their assertions with
the statement that they had tried
it
$50 far as our experience goes, we
can say that not once have we had
the slightest trouble in this respect,
in keeping perfectly in both barn and
stack
Fodder taken from the stack
March 81 was just as green and
bright as when put into the stack on
November 20, and was free of mold
or odor. It's only protection had
been a topping of straw.
The shredded fodder is often baled
and thus placed upon the market or
stored in small space in barn or shed.
Thus it is seen that shredded fod-
der possesses many advantages. 1t
is more easily handled, more cheaply
stored, more perfectly preserved,
more completely consumed, and the
waste makes good bedding and a
fine absorbent of liquid manure.

WEsTERK NORTH CAROLINA FOR SHEEP.

Writing in The American Sheep
Breeder, of Chicago, for August, G.
w. Barney tells of a trip through
West Virginia and Western North
Carolina. Of the latter region he
truthfully says:
We went along to Western North
Caolina, the home Of Henry Stewart,
well known to your readers. This
mountain country is beautiful re-
gion, with a lovely climate, very
healthy, filed with trout streams,
brooks and clear cold springs, and
should be a great sheep country.
Land along there can be procured
for 81 an acre. or can be leased at a
moderate interest on it's value. The
usual method of keeping sheep is to
run them in f1Ocks, each on it's range
under the care of herder, who oUl-
tivates small farm on which fodder
for occasional use in the winter may
be grown. The fOcks each have
their special sailing places to which
they come regularly, or will come
home to get a little grain, corn most
ly, scattered in troughs for them
Something of the Western plan of
herding suits thelocation, then sheep
may be kept for the least expense of
any place in the world. But some
winter feeding is necessary even in
these delightful mountains. The
markets are close by. Land and
labor are cheap. No more trouble
with dogs than anywhere else, in
deed, there is none to any serious
extent, some Northern management
and push only, are wanted to make
this region a great sheep country.

NOTES FROM THE WHEAT EXPERIMENTS

The wheat experiments conducted
by the Department of Agriculture of
the Tennessee Experiment Station
during the past winter have been
very successful. The crop is now all
harvested and threshed and the re-
suits are being worked up, as it is
the purpose of the Department. to
issue bulletin on this subject with
IN the course Of few weeks so that
1t will be in the hands of the farm
ers before seeding time. In this re-
port the relative merit of something
over forty varieties of wheat will be
discussed. All those desiring this
publication can secure the same free
of charge, by addressing the under
signed,
One of the most interesting of the
experiments considered was the dates
of seeding. The question of fighting
the ravages of the Hessian fly is Of
mOmentous interest to the farmers
of this State. Our wheat was sown
on land in which peas were plowed
under and it grew vigorously all
through the season. Our expert
ments indicate that sowing from the
first to the tenth of October gives
the best results. We found that by
sowing two or three weeks later than
this the wheat did not secure. suff-
cient growth to withstand the effects
of the late fall and early winter
freezes and was killed out.
The fertilizer experiments are also
interesting In these tests twenty
five different mixtures of fertilizers
we're used with barnyard manure
heading the list.
The question of seed selection and
it's influence on the yield of wheat is
of vital Importance and this line of
work will be carried on very exten-
sively another year. We are of the
opinion that most people do not use
/ SuOL1Sn S00u, d1lSl 1OI buS pun pOS0 O1
proving whether there is anything
in this idea or not, we sowed wheat
at the rate of from one bushel to two
bushels per acre. The indications
are in favor of the two bushel seed
ing.
An interesting feature of the work
undertaken the past year was an in
ter -tillage experiment to determine
whether it would pay to SOW the
wheat in wide rows and cultivate
with the weeder to save moisture
through the fall season when it is
often dry, or whethor to SOW in mar
rows and cultivate, as compared with
no cultivation.
The results of all these expert
ments will be summarized in Ou1
wheat bulletin and should make in
teresting reading.
