Winter Rye.

Winter rye is one Of the most useful
general crops that can be grown in this
section. The work of the experiment
station has demonstrated beyond area
sonable doubt that this crop is we'll
adapted to northeast Minnesota. Win
ter rye has been grown every year for
five years and has never shown injury
from winter killing. In prairie Sec
tions to- the west Of us, the exposure
due the blowing away of snow during
the winter often causes failure, but the
protection against winds and more
abundant snowfall will generally in
sure crop wherever timber is preva.
lent.
Winter rye may be put to number
of uses, all of which are valuable and
timely. It makes an early growth in
spring and is ready for pasture at least
three weeks in advance of ordinary
grasses. If pastured off it will come
on again, provided the stock are re-
moved for a few days, and can be
browsed until it begins to shoot. 9
Winter rye may also be cut for hay.
The best time to cut is soon after the
heads form, while the food materials
which afterwards are collected in the
seed are still distributed evenly through
the straw. If favorable weather is Sc
cured for sowing, it will make good
hay for horses and cattle. @-
: The seed, when ripened. makes ex-
cellent feed for hogs or chickens, and
if properly fed. does we'll for horses.
The one important point in the cul-
ture OF winter rye, necessary to best
success, is to SOW the seed early in the
fall. For the latitude of Grand Rapids,
the seed should be in the ground by
Aug. 18th. For regions as far South as
Mora or Hinckly week to- ten days
later will do no harm. Rye will grow
if.sown much later than this, but every
weeks delay means a lessening of the
crop next spring. Should the plants in
q warm season show signs of shooting,
they may be pastured off with sheep,
or if the ground is dry, with CATTLE.
The long period of growth in autumn
forms vigorous plants, which stand the
winter without injury; II bushels to u
bushels Of seed per acre, is sufficient:
Rye will grow on almost any soil and
will yield crop on much poorer soil
than any other grain.

The temperatures during the week
were moderate. The weather was dry
in most parts of the State till the gem
eral rain the night of the 9Th, which
was followed by light and widely scat
tered showers on different dates. The
harvesting of all the small grains, ex-
cept fax, is practically finished south
of Clay and Becker counties, while
north of these counties the cutting of
early sown wheat, oats. and barley is
we'll advanced. In: northern COUNTIES
wheat sown late and on spring plowed
land is, not doing well, theresbeing con-
siderable rust init. In 1.-The. region
| where the harvest is over, stacking
and threshing from the shock were go
ing on rapidly till stopped by the rain.
The rain delayed work. in the grain
fields from half day to two: days. In
the South third of the State stacking is
about finished. The rains have bene-
fitted the pastures, corn and gardens,
but unless more rain. falls soon the
benefit will be only temporary. It is
said that with the most favorable con-
ditions from now on, there cannot be
better than poor corn and potato crops.
On some corn there are noSindications
of its making grain, and this is being:
cut for fodder. Flax is poorsin north
ern portions; elsewhere it is variable,
but poor to fair crops arel more gen
eral than good ones; it is: being cut,
and in some places thrashed ia the
southern half of the State. A little
blowing is. being done in southern
counties, but in most fields the ground
is very dry and hard. 81
49,. A New Theory.
Officials in discussing the Elk River
robbery case have advanced new
theory this week. An examination of
the wagon and sacks show that they
were completely saturated with NORTH
blood and indicate that he was in the
wagon much longer than his story
would lead one to believe. They think
now that the crime was committed
nearer Elk River; that the thief left
the wagon before Moritz said he. did;
that Moritz fell unconscious and when
he recovered consciousness he imagin-
ed he was still pursued and ran into
the swamp. This theory appears to be
we'll grounded, for it will be remem-e
bered thatzthe blood hound appeared
to find no other scent II. the vicinity
save that.of the wounded man. The
4hig must haveleft the wagon
further down the road, caught a train
before the crime was discovered and
made good his escape. The only hope
the officers have now is that the crimi-
nal may be recognized crook and will
soon be arrested for some other crime.
Then in tracing his movements they
may find that he visited Elk River.
The Identification would be easy if
once he was apprehended.

TIE scHLEY INQUIRY.
Acting Secretary Hackett Makes State
ment - To the Witnesses " be Sum-
- moned Before the Court

Washington, Aug. H.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett, Of the navy depart
ment, gave out = statement yesterday
in relation to the witnesses to be
summoned before the Schley court OF
inquiry. 1t is as follows: There
have been numerous inquiries by the
gentlemen of the press as to who are
to be the witnesses before the Schley
court Of inquiry. l recognize the in
tense public interest that attends the
converting of this court. also take
into account and respect the profess
sional zeal of the press, and the ear
nest desire of each gentleman to OBJ
tain early and full information for
his particular newspaper. 1t has been
found necessary, however, to say
something to put an end to daily in
quiries on the subject. This is done
with no purpose or desire to keep
anything from the public.
"The court of inquiry will convene
on the 18th of September. What wit
nesses will be brought before the
court in behalf of Admiral Schley is
for the admiral himself to say. No
one can possibly know what witnesses
the court is going to summon before
them. The Judge advocate of the
court on the Goth of July addressed a
letter to Admiral Schley requesting
the admiral to communicate with him
in relation to the witnesses, il any
of them were located at distance
from Washington, whom he might
wish to have appear before the court.
This was done because it was taken
for granted that most OF them were
officers of the navy. 1t was highly
important that they should be within
reach when wanted to testify. Ad-
miral Schley responded with par
tial list of those whom he thought
he would likely want present, stat
ing that there would doubtless be
Others. He was told that he would
have right to call Others as wit
nesses and also informed that some
of the persons named by him might
possibly be called by the judge advo-
cate
"The whole thing is in the prelim-
mary stage, to see to 1t that officers OF
the navy who are cognizant OF the
facts involved will be where they can
be reached in season to attend as wit
nesces If needed
Beyond this statement Mr.. Hackett
declined to answer specific questions
as to particular witnesses especially
as tt whether Admiral Sampson was on
the list prepared by the judge advo-
cate of the court, and he further an
nounced that hereafter he would de-
cline to answer all inquiries regard
ing matters relating to the Schley
court.

EUROPEAN OPINION.

London, Aug. 14.--Frederick W.
Hollis, United States member OF the
international court of arbitration at
The Hague, who is in London after
prolonged visits to st. Petersburg,
Berlin and Vienna, in talking OF his
impressions of the relations between
the European powers and America
said: From all we have heard we
believe that the outlook for peace
among the great powers and for the
gradual but unmistakable develop
ment of the intent of the peace con-
ference could hardly be better NO
European people wants war any more
than the American. The present feel
ing in Europe regarding the United
States cannot be characterized in one
phrase. That 1t is not everywhere
friendly must, fear, be admitted.
But this is not strange. The strength
and prosperity Of the great peaceful
'unmilitary' republic is not pleasing
to its opponents and critics OF our IN
stitutions. Then there is natural 1eal-
ousy in commercial and industrial r.,
circles of our economic progress The
talk about combination of the Euro
pean powers against the United States
is fanciful and impracticable. They
have greater causes for qlarrels
among themselves than any OF them
has against the United States. what
ever objections are raised to our as
scrtion and vindication OF the Monroe
doctrine in its extended form come
from theorists only and our claim to
control and own absolutely and ex-
cmsively any and all isthmian canals
is cordially recognized, not only on
the continent, but by most author

the robbers got some valuable jewels.
They gave diamond ring and shirt
stud to Engineer Lanham.
After the work was done the rob-
bers, who seemed to enjoy the situa,
ton, sat around and laughed over the
matter. The whole affair was carried
out without hitch, and it is believed
the men have had experience in this
line of business before.
