Lord Kitchener, in his interview with

In dispatch from Pretoria, made

his usd& weekly total of captures, bui

The condition of Ireland agricultur-
ally is steadily improving owing to the
more liberal land laws. The per cent OF
Irish immigration to this country is
steadily decreasing, largely due to this
improved condition. This is a distinct

MILES WILL BE RETIRED
President Roosevelt Will Take Action
Shortly to This End.

Shortly to This End.
Washington, March 22.-At the cab
met meeting yesterday the publiea-
lions relating to the statements made
by General Miles before the senate
committee on Thursday were brought
up, but consideration Of them was
postponed until all the facts in the
matter became known.
Whatever intentions the president
had with respect to the treatment to
be accorded General Miles, his future
action will be somewhat influenced by
the fact that General Miles statement
before the senate committee has been
represented to him as being priv.
legged.
The president proposes to read the
testimony given at the hearing anl
to consult with different members o.
the committee on military affairs be
fore finally announcing what he pro
poses to do. It is significant that lonl
after the cabinet meeting adjourned
Secretary Root and the attorney gen
eral were closeted with the president
The president is known to hav'
stated that he was tired of the friction
in the army, and in the event that i
is decided that General Miles state
ment was a privileged one, he will a
no distant day take action looking t
his retirement.

age of 81 years last August, and unde

Where the corn is cut up for fodder
and the stalks removed is the land rob
bed? At the present time, when the
farmers Of the great corn belt are so
generally changing from the old meth
cd of feeding the stalks off in the field
to that Of harvesting the corn with a
binder, this question becomes Of con-
siderable interest. There is not much
fertility in the rotted stalks or in the
droppings Of the cattle which clean
the stalks up. Where d soil is stiff and
lacking in humus the decaying stalks
are helpful. but on loose and rich soils
they are Of little value. A rotation Of
clover on the cornfield will put more
fertility into the soil than will the ac
cumulated stalks Of FIVE years growth
It is further noted that the small grain
crop succeeding corn where the croI
has been cut and removed is almost in
variably better than where they arr
left on the ground this owing to thu
fact that the crop can be put in in bet
ter shape when the stalks are removed

went to a hotel there, registered and
left his baggage He then started fol
walk and was last seen going toward

ference. A number of inquiries have
been sent by his wife. but despite
strenuous efforts of his friends to fine
him not a single trace was obtained
from the time he was seen going to
wards the Susquehanna river. There
is great apprehension among some o
the members of the conference tina
he has met with foul play.

A friend writes us from New Jersey
that the bane Of agriculture in that
section is found in selling milk at low
prices to city consumers and the pur-
chase Of western dairy rations at ruin
ously high prices. Under these condi-
lions the producers Of milk ought to be
able to command better prices for their
product There Is a tremendous differ
ence between working the fertile soils
Of the west and northwest and those Of
many of the eastern states, where the
sum expended for commercial fertiliz-
ers amounts to as much in many cases
as the crop is worth. This difference
in soils and the ever decreasing freight
rates are bound to give the west almost
monopoly III the production Of the
cereals Of the country.

the purpose Of securing the moisture
necessary to carry the berries safely
through the drought during the fruit
ing season, assuming that the space
between the rows was thoroughly cub
tivated the previous season, we should
much prefer the mulching to spring

the leaving Of just as much Of the Gov

be done without injury to them.
