PUNISHMENT FOR BOXERS.
Chinese Dignitaries Go to Prison
TuaD For Life.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Minister Wu
has received from Director Sheng the fol-
loving cablegram which he cOmmuni-
Gated to Secretary Hay today:
An imperial decree of November IL
deprives Prince Tuan and Prince Cbwang
OF their ranks and offices and orders
them to be imprisoned for life; Prince
1lh and Secondary Prince lining to he
imprisoned; Secondary Prince Lien to be
deprived OF his rank; Duke Ian and
lining Men to be degraded in rank:
Yang Vi, being dead, no penalty can be
imposed upon him; and Chao Shu Chiao
70 be degraded, but returned in Office.
Yu Hsien to be exiled to the furthest
boundary"
The Chinese officials mentioned in the
decree are among the highest in China
and comprise most if not all of those
against whom the powers demanded
rigorous punishment. Prince Tuan
stands at the head Of the aDti-Toreign
and Boxer movement. Previous edicts
have degraded him, and taken away his
office ana servants, but this Judgment of
lie lmprl7 )nment is the most severe thus
TAR given to any Of the leaders RESPONSE
ble for the trouble
From u Chinese standpoint it is an
extreme penalty to prince of the blood,
but it remains to be seen whether the
powers will regard it as adequate to
Prince Tuan's Offpnse
The Others mentioned we're Tuan's
active associates, and two of them were
specifically mentioned for punishment
along with Tuan in Secretary HAYS
note OF October 3, advising the Chinese
government that this country would ex-
pect these officials to receive their lust
deserts.
kaDg III is one of the officials who
died suddenly when the demands for
punishment had been made, probably by
suicide. lud KEN is another who was
thought to have committed suicide. but
the reports Indicate that he is still alive.

HESSIAN FLY IN OREGON
Working Great Damage to Wheat
Fields of Lane County.

Eugene, Ore, Nov. 17.-Reports come
from farmers in various parts of Lane
county that the Hessian fly is at it's de-
structive work in the wheat fields. and
the Indications are that, unless the pest
is soon destroyed, the crop will be al
most failure again this year.
The outlook was none too good for
the wheat farmer, even though the soil
and climatic conditions are better this
season than for several years, and
knowledge of the existence of the Hes
sian fly completely discourages the
wheat raiser. There is little doubt
about the pest being genuine 1t existed
here last year and was carefully exam
ined and its work watched by farmers
who know the pest, and they have no
hesitancy in prOnOuncing it the genuine
article. They declare that the layages
will continue until the production of
wheat is discontinued for a few seasons.
1t is characteristic of the insect to
hatch two broOds each year. The first
brood is now working in the roots OF
the wheat. In the spring the second
will appear, and will work, not in the
root, but in the first Joint of the straw.
The disposition OF most of the wheat
farmers is to run more into stock rails
ing, but this will require time 1t is con-
ceded, however, that when the farms
cease the production OF wheat and de-
pend more upon sheep and cattle, the
profit will be greater and the produc-
tiveness of the soil will be increased in-
stead of being constantly diminished.

FEEDING THE HORSES.
Many Farmers Make n Mistake by
Giving Them Too Much Hay and
Not Enough Grain.

Farmers generally do not give the
feeding of their horses the attention
they should. The dairy cow and the
feeding steer are carefully examined
and discussed, but the feeding of the
horse is usually all the hay he can eat
and various quantities of oats and
corn, according to the amount of
work being done. Sometimes even the
latter part is neglected. If horse is
expected to do extra hard work he
should be literally and regularly fed.
The horse has small stomach in pro-
portion to his size, hence frequent
feeding when under hard work is nec-
essary The human stomach can bear
hunger far better than that of a
horse. When driving on n journey
you feel hungry you may be sure
your horse has felt it before you did,
and is needing his feed more than you
do.
Opinions differ great deal as to
the watering of horses. Some prefer
to have the water in their stalls. 9th
ers prefer watering only as the horses
come in from their work or before
feeding. Horses should not be wa
tered after meals, as the stomach, be-
ing small, is liable to be partially
emptied of the undigested food, caus-
ing trouble in the bowels and partial
loss of the food. Oats and hay are
the ideal food for horses in our coun-
try, but because they are the best is
no reason why they should be exclu-
sively used. Variety is often much
relished by the horse. With this va
riety cheapness and economy may be
introduced. Good timothy hay, early
cut and well cured, is the best hay
for horses. Many farmers make a
great mistake by feeding far too
much hay and not enough grain. They
might very well take few lessons
from our liverymen who find their
horses do better and keep healthier
on small amount of hay and lit
tie more grain.-Joseph Ii. Yoder, in

STILL A PRISONER OF WAR.
A Minneapolis Man who Has Been
on Parole for Thirty-Five
Years,

The civil war was over long ago, but
in spite of the friendship between the
north and the south the prisoners of
war have not been all released, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
There still lives in Minneapolis one
man who has been on parole for the
past 35 years and who is still a pris-
oner of war as much as when he first
reported to the provost of Fort Smell
ling many years ago, SO far as release
is concerned.
Col. Platt r. Walker, one of the old
citizens of Minneapolis, came to this
part of the country as prisoner Of
war, with orders to report to the pro-
vost at Fort Smelling.

officers to give up my toadIsticker,"

or stay and be driven back until we
