FARMER



Many attempts have been made to
make ensilage Of other crops than corn,
and 1t has been found that there are
many that can be used that way, as
clover, cowpeas, millet, beet pulp, etc,
but not one of them makes as good en-
silage as the corn fodder, and there Is
none of them which will grow as many
tons to the acre or that can be grown
and put IN the silo at so little cost OF
money or labor Nor do we know Of
any that win produce fair crop on
light soil without heavy manuring as
will the corn. Where II Is sown thin
enough to allow of caring out it costs
but little for seed. If the field Is large
enough, q corn planter or a seed drill
will put In seed and q commercial fer
silizer at the same time with but little
labor. A light harrow or a weeder
used Just before the corn is coming up
and two or three times afterward and
then once going through with the Guilt
vatOr will keep 1t very free from
weeds. Cutting up. taking to the sllO
and cutting it there is not an expensive
task II one has the proper machinery
and good help. and many estimate the
cost from the blowing of the ground to
the filling of the silo has not exceeded
50 per ton.

Ills Reasons for Leaving the English
 Turf.

New York, Sept. 3o.-William c. Whitney has written letter which will appear in the Tribune tomorrow (Thursday) giving his reasons for de- ciding to leave the English turf, and race his horses hereafter, almost ex- clusively upon American tracks. He says in part:
 "The dominating reason for with drawing my stable from England is the success of the efforts of late years to raise the standard of racing in this country. Certain gentlemen have de- voted most of their time to this great work and I considered it my duty, as one who derives great satisfaction from horses to second their efforts in every way.
 "The sending of our best horses abroad deprecates the quality of the sport at home I make an exception in my own mind of the case in which one has an eligible horse likely to win one of the classic races, like the Derby, the Oakes or the St. Murier. Winning one of these races reflects credit on our breeding and is properly matter of pride to us Americans. It is not all unlikely that I may be found trying for one of these again.
 MT. Whitney then denies that his withdrawal was i'll the least caused by dissa atisfaction at the treatment his horses received on the English turf.

STILL AFTER EX-GOT. TAYLOR. Governor of Indiana Not Likely to sur-
 render Him.

Indianapolis, Sept. Ex-Governor Dur
 bin this afternoon informed the Ken- lucky officials who are here with a req uisition from Governor Beckham of Kentucky, for the return to that state for trial of w. s. Taylor and Charles Finley, charged with complicity in the Goebel murder, that he would not ren- der a formal decision for week or more
 This final answer of the governor was in compliance with the request of the Kentucky representatives that the gov- ernor read carefully the transcript of the record and briefs in the Powers case, the briefs and decisions of the court of appeals in all the Goebel cases, together with the dissenting decisions of the Judges of the court of appeals from the decision of the court.
 Arthur Goebel, in relating the inter- view with Governor Durbin, said: T asked the governor, who was about to deny the acquisitions. if he had read all the evidence in the cases He said he had not then asked him if after reading the evidence he should feel the verdicts were fair in the other cases he would surrender Taylor and Finley, but he did not reply. I then asked him if he did not think it fair he should read this evidence before deciding, and he said he would"
 It is the general feeling here that the acquisitions will be refused

4 SOLDIERS DISGRACE.
Dishonorable Discharge and Imprison-
 ment for Disrespect of President.

ment for Disrespect of President.
 Washington, Sept. BOA most un- usual case has been reported to the war department It is that of Private Peter ]. Devine, Troop H, Eleventh cavalry who was tried by a general court tial at Fort Ethan Allan, Vermont, on the charge of "uslng disrespectful words against the president of the United States in violation of the nineteenth article of war"
 It appears from the evidence that when the news of the shooting of Pres 1 ident Mckinley was received at Fort Ethan Allan, Devine expressed great | satisfaction over the crime and applied an uncomplimentary epithet to the late president. His comrades roughly han dled him before he could be secured In the guard house. He was found guilty of the charge by the court and sentenc- ed to be dishonorably discharged from the service of the United States for feiting all pay and allowances due him, and to be confined at hard labor for one year.
 The record of the case having been referred to Major General Brooke at New York; commanding the Depart ment of the East, he indorsed it as fol- lows: Tt is the opinion of the review ing authority that the punishment ad- judged by the court is not a sufficient penalty for the f1agitious act the pris- oner was found to have committed. It is not within the power of the review ing authority to increase the punish ment; but in order that the prisoner may not wholly escape punishment the sentence is approved and will be duly executed at Fort Columbus, N. Y, to which place the prisoner will be sent under proper guard"
 General Brooke's action in the case is final, and the record simply has been sent to the war department for filing.

THE MAYORS COMMITTEE.
ARRANGING THE CITY,S
 BI-C ENTENNIAL PLANS.
A Meeting Held in City Hall Last Night --Ex-Mayor Driscoll Elected Chairman "A Committee Appointed te Formu- Iate Plans VIII Confer With Presi- dent HadIey This Afternoon.

A large number of citizens met in the aldermantc chamber of the city hall last evening in response to invitations sent out by the mayor to organize to represent the city in its part in the Yale bi-centennial celebration, and al- though President Roosevelt will prob ably be here as the guest of the univer- sity, to arrange plans whereby mem bers of the committee designated by the mayor may represent the city in the reception of the president.
 A large number of those who had been invited and large number of those who had not gathered in the al- dermanic chamber, and the meeting was called to order by Mayor Studley. On the platform with him were ex- Mayors Holcomb. Peck and Driscoll. Mayor Studley said that he had taken the liberty of appointing committee of those whom he believed to be repre- sentative citizens to consider concern ing something to be done by the citi- zens during the bi-centennial. He spoke of the college in its relation to New Fla
 
 not much ought to be done because the city wouldn't get much out of the cele- bration As mayor he was sorry to hear this, but he said that he thought that the manufacturers and other bus mess, men of the city, if that feature was considered, would find this great But aside from that New Haven ought to do something. We know now that the president of the United States and other high United States officials will be here. It will be the first time in many years that a president has visited New Haven. At this period of history, three presidents having been murdered, it seemed fitting he thought that committee of citizens of New Haven welcome the president of the United States, and show to those people who decry presidents and lead to their murder that there IS no place for them in New Haven. On this ac- count he desired that the committee which he had appointed take some ac- ion.
 He said that the Yale men themselves would do much, and he thought that when the celebration was over the peo- ole of the city would not be able to see he sun for three days because of the smoke from fireworks. He then called lpon the gentlemen present to organ ze.
 Charles S. Hamilton moved that the mayor be the chairman. Ex-Mayor oriscoll put the motion, and declared t carried unanimously. Mayor Stud ey asked to be excused from acting. He said that he was too busy and that le desired the committee to be a repre- tentative committee of citizens.
