marks that the name "Bengal grass
by which it was first known in this
country, suggests such an origin.
Flint, ON the contrary, makes the state
ment that it was first brought to the
United States from Europe. However
this may be, it seems that the seed used
in Tennessee. where this variety first
came into real prominence, was brought
from France in the early sixties, and
since that time has been the leading
millet sown in the south. German mil
let makes a heavy yield of forage un-
der favorable conditions, but does not
stand drought as well as the smaller
varieties, such as common millet and
Hungarian. The hay is coarser and
less highly valued than that from the
smaller millets; but when the forage
can be fed in the green states.this will
be found to be an excellent variety to
grow. on account of the heavy yield.
German millet is the latest of the va
rieties commonly grown here. and his
exceedingly variable in its appearance
and habit of growth. 1t is very sell
dom that one sees a field that is uni
form in character. Many, perhaps
most, of the heads may be typical of
the variety, but usually there will be
many others scarcely to be distin-
guisheG from common millet or other
standard varieties.

PREPARING SOD GROUND.
Why 1t Should lie PlOwed at the First
Favorable Opportunity Dur.
ing the Winter.

In most cases when piece of sod
ground is to be prepared for planting
TO corn in the spring, it will be good
plan to pillow at the first favorable OPP
portunity during the winter.
The thawing and freezing to which
it will usually be subjected will aid in
loosening and disintegratng the sod,
and making it an easier task to work
into proper filth for planting. 1t is
important in blowing sod to turn the
top sod completely over. il is best for
corn especially to pillow reasonably
deep. Deep blowing and shallow culti-
walton will give the best results. 1t will
also make it easier work to prepare the
soil in good filth if care is taken to
pillow thoroughly at the start.
Freshly plowed old sod requires con-
siderable work to prepare it in good
filth, and if the blowing is delayed UNI
til spring, after grass has made start
to grow, even more work is required.
Sod ground can be plowed in many
cases when old ground would be entire
ly too wet. After blowing, it is usually
not advisable to disturb it again until
ready to prepare for planting. At this
time there is no better implement to
use than a good disc harrow. Unless
the sod is old and tough one good 60
ing over with the harrow, tapping well,
will be sufficient, but with old sod ii
may be necessary to 60 over twice, the
first time the way the land was plowed.
and the second time crosswise. 1t is
best to lap well, ard to cut reasonably
deep. The disc harrow will cut thor
oughly. and then the smoothing har-
row will fine and level down and put
the soil in good condition for the seed.
1t pays with all crops, and especially
one like corn, that is to be cultivated.
TO prepare the soil thoroughly before
the seed is planted, and it will be best
to go over with the disc and smoothing
harrows several times in order TO Sc
cure this condition, rather than to
plant with the soil in rough condition.
In system of rotation corn after
grass is one Of the best plans, but in
securing a good growth and yield, it is
essential that the soil be we'll prepared.

[BY TELEGRAPH 10 THE rR1BUSE.I

New-Orleans July 25.-The mob was in COM
mand Of this city tonight. Several people are
reported dead and an indefinite number have
been wounded and beaten. The assassination
of Police Captain Day and officer Mora by the
negro Robert Charles brought about a condition
of unrest here which called for the placing on
duty OF many extra police officers and the call
ing out of company OF militia to aid them in
preserving order.
Trouble has been brewing since yesterday
evening. but it was not until it was apparent
that the negro murdered would not be caught
that the hoodlum element became fully aroused
and primed for violence. quiet tip was given
out this evening for a mass meeting at Lee
Circle. and, while there We're no leaders or
prominent citizens in the crowd, it swelled to
several thousand people. who began march to

After Intellectual attempts at speech making
the mob marched up the boulevard, shooting at

an effort to beat negro two young men were
horribly beaten and kicked, their faces being
almost unrecognizable.
The mob next started for the parish prison.

Chief Caster had assembled all the police in

The negroes all over the city are terror stricken

AMERICAN VALOR PRAISED
GENERAL DORWARD WARMLY COM
MENDS THE WORK OF THE NINTH

Tien-Tsin, July 16. via Che-Foo July "a
General Dorward. the British commander. has
sent to the American commanders a letter in
which he saws:
desire to express the high appreciation of
me British troops Of the honor done them in
serving alongside of their comrades of the
American Army, and of the high honor ac-
corded me in having them under my command.
blame myself for the mistake made in taking
their position by the 9th Regiment not remem-
peIIhg that troops fresh to the scene of action
and hurried forward in the excitement of at
tack were likely to lose their way. Still the
position they took and gallantly stuck to all
day undoubtedly prevented q large BODY of the
enemy from turning the right Of the attacking
lne and Inhicting serious loss on the French
and japanese.
General Dorward also expressed sympathy
with the Americans in the loss of Colonel Lis
cum commander Of the regiment and Captain
Davis, Of the Marine Corps. He commended
Lieutenant Smedley Butler and Lieutenant
Henry Leonard. Of the Marine Corps. and Lieu
tenant Louis Lawton, of the regiment, and
praised Lieutenant-ColoneI Coolidge for his skill
fuI withdrawal of the regiment.
Cinnamon from the walled city describe a
reign of terror begun by the Boxers before the
city fell. The Boxers killed all Chinese who
had been in the employ Of Europeans holding
a daily inquisition. They decapitated even those
suspected of friendship for foreigners or Of
adopting foreign customs. The mere wearing
Of narrow sleeves was deemed an offence tustf-
flying the death of the offender and the confsca-
tion of his property.
It is now believed that the regular troops and
the Boxers are hostile to one another. the troops
being enraged because the Boxers drew them
into a disastrous fight.
