Harvest nv Kpffir-corn.

In the recent quarterly report Of the
Kansas Department of Agriculture IL
a most excellent article on Katfir corn,
prepared by J. G. Haney Of the State
Agricultural College. upon request OF
Secretary Coburn. Concerning the har
vesting of the crop he says: Kattir corn
remains green until frost and the seed
does not shatter; so. If grain is the only
consideration there Is no great hurry
to harvest: 1t can stand until after
frost and the stalk is dry. But gener
ally the fodder Is a consideration. as
we'll as the grain, and then the problem
Is to cut when the best results from
both may be obtained. The longer the
fodder stands the harder and less pal
atable 1t becomes, while If cut too early
the best yield Of grain is not secured
After the grain Is hardened so that II
is difficult to mash between the thumb
and finger, and there Is little moisture
apparently in the seed. there Will be
very little shrinkage in the grain This
would perhaps he called "just past the
hard dough stage" II cut earlier the
fodder will be better feed. but there
will be considerable shrinkage In the
grain.
One thing that has kept this CROP
from being more generally raised If
the problem Of harvesting. There are
number of methods and they all
have their merits. II the fodder is de
sired for feed 1t is perhaps hest to cut
stalk and all and leave in the shock
until dry. The best machine for ac
complishing this is the corn binder
which leaves 1t in bundles Of converr
lent size for handling. and the fodder
Is held together. The common method
however. Is to cut with mower. and
the crop should be left to cure well
before raking. Ordinarily 1t is put into
large shocks or small ricks containing
from ton to three tons each. This IL
done with hay gatherer. "buck rake
or ''go-devil." and saves a great deaf
of handling. 1t keeps In excellent con
dition when treated this way and can
be hauled when needed. 1t Is ready to
harvest in about 1O5 days after plant
ing. and this should be before frost. as
freezing while green is detrimental
besides. the hay will not cure as well
in cool weather. and It Is essential that
1t be as perfectly cured as possible.

FOR FORTY YEARS
Venerable Judge Jackson Has sat Upcs
the Beneh-~His scventy-seventb
birthday.


Forty years ago Saturday the At
torney General OF the United STATES
handed in person to John day jackson
his Commission al Judge of the
United States District Court for the
Western District OF Virginia. The
commission was fresh from the hand
of President Lincoln and still haMEs
in the office Of Judge jackson. who
acting under that commission ana
the two others which he has subse-
unently received when changes were
made in bis district. held court up
on the fortieth anniversary Of his APP
pointment to the bench. And, still
strong and vigorous in mind and In
body, Judge Jackson will doubtless
continue to hold court under the
same commissions for many years TO
come.
Time has dealt kindly with Judge
jackson, for though his hair has been
whitened that is the only sign he
shows of advancing age. His pro-
found knowledge Of the law his, keen
perception and his ready grasp Of every
subject presented to him grow mons
marked as time goes on and each 1nY
tends to make him more the fdeat
| Judge
| In the history of the nation, no
other Judge OF any federal or state
court has ever spent so many years
upon the bench. Chief Justice Mar
shall and Mr. Justice Field, Of the y.
$. Supreme Court, both served for
over thirty years upon the bench but
no one else has approached the length
Of Judge Jackson's service. And In
that period Of nearly half a century
Judge jackson has only once missed
q term of court. That time was soon
after his appointment, when the Con-
federate forces under Gen. Loring
had captured Charleston, and the II.
s. Court was not held till later.
OF Judge jackson s experiences upSz
the bench volumes could be written
In his most entertaining speech ct the
Charleston banquet, given in his
homer some weeks ago, Judge Jack
son related many interesting events,
but only part OF his speech was
preserved and since then numerous
requests have been made of him TO
write out some memories of his life
in the court room. He has partially
consented to this and should ne do so
would give Il valuable addition to
the histories OF the state his eutare
PUBLIC life having been SO closely
identified with the life Of the state.
Saturday Judge jackson celebrates
the fortieth anniversary Of his ass-
pointment as Judge. Sunday he osae-
brated the seventy seventh anniver-
sary of his birth and upon both oo-
casions his multitude Of friends in all
the walks Of life, from the highest to
the lowest cordially congratulate him
and wish him manv more anniver-
sarys of both events and continued
strength OF mind and body.

charges. The charges against him
were immoralityand intemperance and
Prof. Cole said ne didn't think he

The strike leaders came from New
York over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. They were expected by the
Pennsylvania. bat Mr. Shatfer enjoys
mystery.
TRUST Is FULL OF FIGHT.
AS indicating the temper Of the
trust, the following message came
over the wire from New York to local
officials of the United States Steel
Corporation here:
lit will be a fight TO the finish.
No quarter will be given. We are
prepared to spend all the money and
time necessary TO wine ont the Amal-
gamated Association in all our mills =
There is scarcely one of the trust s
400, 0n0 employees who will not feel
the strike. 1t may be that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will call to
ITS thousands who handle products
of the corporation ;the structural steel
workers may refuse TO handle steel
from the mills of the trust; the min
ers may refuse TO dig coal for the
trust mills; the railway organizations
may be drawn into the contest al
though that is not probable.
Unless it is speedily broken by the
United States Steel Corporation the
strike and its results will be felt over
the whole of the United States. Mills
that manufacture finished products
and obtain their raw material from
the trust in many cases will be closed (:
blast furnaces which manufacture
iron will be compelled to pile it in
stock and then stop if the strike is
carried on long; coke ovens will close
when the furnaces stop.
TENSION Is GETTING HIGHER.
Gradually the tenison is. becoming
higher at the strike centers. At
Wellsville Ohio, there was a small
riot around boarding house kept
by mill worker named Philips, IN
which non-union men were quarter
ed. The strikers pelted the house
with stones, breaking nearly all the
windows and demanded that the mill
men who were boarding there come
out. Several shots We're fired with
pistols by the men but no one was
hurt.
Mrs. Philips is plucky woman.
Armed with a pis ;ol, she went out
into the crowd of strikers and dared
them to touch her. She then took
the men who were boarding with her,
including her husband, to the mill,
walking beside them with a loaded
revolver in her hand, and at the same
time daring the strikers to interfere.
This was followed by the proprietor
of the house swearing out warrants
charging ~ members of tho Amalga-
mated Association with riot. OF the
men named in the affidavit and on
the list handed by Philips to the
Mayor, Edward Price, Richard Rum
baugh, William and Elmer Moor,
Charles Peth, Frank Adams, Jay
Davis and District Organizer George
Evans were arrested. Adams and
Evans were released on $500 bonds
for a preliminary hearing August IA.
The Others are still in Jail, but the
Amalgamated leaders are working
hard to secure bail for them. The
legal action taken by Philips was, at
the request of the American Sheet
Steel Company.

Said, As He Saw Ceyera's Ships Leay-
ing the FatefuI Harbor.


ing the Fateful Hafbor,
Altoona, Pa. Aug, 6---Postmaster
II. P. Wilson, of Altoona. friend Of
Admiral Sehley from bovhood, in
view OF the fact that the Schley.
Sampson controversy has attained the
gravity Of court OF inquiry, matte
public today an Interview which
took place between the Admiral and
himself on the Pennsylvania limited
express shortly after the Admiral had
been relieved of command of the
Flying Squadron.
MIR. Wilson is Marylander. He
questioned the Admiral merely for
personal reasons and iotted down the
following interv lew after he left the
train at Altoona
Admiral, what were your first
words when You saw the Spanish
ships coming ont of the mouth of
Santiago harbor?
My first words when / saw the
first of the enemy's ships leave the
harbor We're Either they will 30
down or | do.
s.Tell me Admiral what were your
first thoughts after the victory was
wons'
Mr.. Wilson the first thing that came
TO my mind was little incident
which occurred as the squadron was
leaving Hampton Roads. An old
lady, gray and infrm. came aboard
my shin. Her son was among my
crew. She babe him good by and,
coming 20 me, the tears swelling up
in her eyes, she said Admiral /
know you II be verv busy. but / want
you to look after my boy. = aud then
she knelt and kissed my hand, before
/ could prevent her. assured her /
would see to her son and she said
Admiral, wherever you go thepray-
ers of the American women will go
with you. - That incident was the
first thing that came to my mind
after the fight and firmly believe the
rayers Of theAmericnn woman had
much to do with the winning of the
fight =
When asked to whom the honor
really belonged Admiral Schley said !.
The praise for the victory at San-
tiago should 90 to the brave men who
individually contributed by their per-
feet obedience Of orders and the doing
OF their duty as men TO win the bat
tie. 10 them ra Their than selected
officer should belong the laurels. When
/ said there was honor enough for
all meant that the winning OF a great
victory such as this was so wide in
its scope, that, like the great wings
Of thea merican Eagle, it overspread
and brought within its shadow every
man who did his duty. That the
honors should be sordidly bickered
for, fought after as dogs might quar-
rel for bone, seems to me so I'M.
American that fit expression for my
thoughts is impossible. =
AS the train drew near Altoona and
Mr.. Wilson prepared to leave it. the
Admiral said:
Mr.. Wilson if had made failure,
had bungled it all and been beaten,
wonder II others would have taken
the blame ~
Admiral Schley throughout the talk
showed desire to give his men the
credit and TO claim almost nothing for
himself. MIR. Wilson has remained
silen until the present situation
forced him, he says, 10 speak.
