WORST THIS. SEASON
CHICAGO VISITED BY a STORM
THAT DOES a GREAT DEAL
OF DAMAGE. >.&s

Telegraph and Telephone Companies
Are the Worst sufferers-City Is
Practically Isolated From the West
and Notwithstanding Like 1t
Has Been Seen in Over Thirty
Years.
Chicago, March 11.-One Of the
worst wind storms of the season
struck Chicago and during the two
hours that it was at it's height dam
aged property throughout the city to
the extent of $175,000. Many heavy
plate glass windows were blown in.
Telegraph and telephone companies
were the worst sufferers and it will
be some time before order can be re-
stored. Thousands of poles were
blown down and Chicago was prac-
tically isolated from the West and
Northwest by telephone and tele-
graph. The long distance telephone
service was crippled badly and was
of little or no value. Neither Milwau-
kee nor Minneapolis could be reached
by long distance telephone. The
storm is believed to have been the
most severe in Southern Wisconsin.
Along a short stretch of the Milwau-
kee road in Southern Wisconsin 500
telegraph poles are down. Reports
from many points in Indiana and
Kentucky also indicate heavy damage
from the storm. The Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies suf-
fered severely by fallen poles. It was
estimated that there were no fewer
than 5000 poles in the city blown
down by the fury of the wind and
storm. Telegraph service also as far
West as Omaha was stopped. Trains
entering Chicago were delayed from
10 minutes to an hour. The Burling.
ton and Milwaukee and st. Paul com
panies were the worst sufferers in
this respect. All the roads suffered
damage to their tracks and switch
yards. At the lifesaving station at
the mouth of the Chicago river it was
considered the worst gale that has
struck Chicago harbor since 1869.

Manila, March -Disappointmen
among American business men here
with IT, limitations of the Spooner
amendment to the army bill is increas-.
Ing as its rrcvisicns become better
known. It is considered to be espe-
cially unfortunate in apparently pro-
hhlbiting the issuing Of licenses for
the cutting OF timber upon public
lands. If this Interpretation proves
correct it will be bonanza for the
few: owners of private timber lands in
these islands and the beginning of
building activity in all towns will be
considerably retarded.
There is some talk here of sending
petition to washington for an extra
session of congress, but the fear is
general, however, among certain
element that this action might not
result in any material good.
Regret is expressed here at the
fact that congress does not entrust
the timber, mining and land questions
to the discretion % the representa-
tives of the administration here.

HARRISON NO BETTER.

Left Lung Inflamed and Congestion
May Extend to the Right One.
indianapolis, March 1.-THE condi-
ton of Former President Benjamin
Harrison is serious. DR.. Jameson
stated that the upper part of General
Harrison's left lung was inflamed.
There is some danger of the conges-
ton extending to the rest of the lung
and to the right lung. DR.. Jameson
said that he was certain nothing was
to be apprehended for the next 4S
hours, but the age of the patient rem
ders all calculations uncertain. Cen
eral Harrison is suffering some pain,
but is resting comparatively easy.

Observation-Disclosures

The value Of muck for manure has
been much discussed by strong advo-
Gates and strong opponents, both par
ties speaking from experience, says
American Cultivator. This is because
the muck or black deposit in swamps
or at the bottom Of small ponds has
been and ever will be variable in quail
ty and partly because Of the manner in
which it was put. A muck may con-
tain much vegetable NATTER the result
of plants that have grown up and died
there, in which case it should be valu-
able because of the humus in it and the
nitrogen that results from it's decay as
we'll as for the mechanical effects it
will have in tightening up or making
porous the heavy anu. compact soil, or
1t may have much Of the washing from
the surface of surrounding higher lands
which may have been we'll MANFRED to
add to the value Of the muck or much
sand to make it poorer.
But it is of that which Is full of veg
etable matter that we would speak
now, as it is the most valuable when
properly used, yet an element of dan

If it has been water soaked most Of the
season, the vegetable matter will be but
little decayed, and it will be so acid in
its character when first taken out that
no vegetation will start on it or grow
where it is used freely. We have taken
out such muck in the winter and allow
ed it to lie in the heap until it had been
subject to the changes of the following
summer and winter, when we found it
a good fertilizer on heavy soil, nearly
equal to the average manure in the
barnyards, not that in the barn cellars,

Prepare to Grow Fodder Crops.

Prepare to Grow Fodder Crops.
Present indications are that the grass
crop is likely to be light next season
throughout nearly all the eastern states
and in many other sections, says The
American Cultivator. Two seasons of
drought and in many places the ground
bare of snow most Of the winter have so
injured the grass roots that we cannot
expect them to put out vigorous
growth. To remedy this we have many
crops that can be grown to furnish
seed for the summer, when the pas
lures are poor, and that may be cured
for winter fodder. Oats can be cut
even before they head out to feed
green, but to make hay they are best
when the grain is we'll grown, but in

that it may be used both ways and
even to make more than one sowing
Oats and Canada peas are even better
than oats alone. Millet and Hungarian
grass can be sown later and are about
equally good whether fed green or as
hay. There are many other new crops
that have been introduced lately, but
we do not consider that any of them
is as we'll adapted to our climate as
the corn crop, and we are doubtful If
any of them is as valuable for food,
green, dry or in the~silo. with the posi-
bic exception Of the crimson clover,
where that can be grown.
