HISTORICAL CORRECTIONS.
Some Interesting Statements Made
by n Survivor of the Con-
federate Congress-

John Goode, the only Virginian liv-
ing who was a member of the'confed-
crate congress, was one of the speak
ers at the annual meeting of Lee canp.
held at Richmond, Va, on January 10
last.
Mr.. Goode took occasion to correct
what he conceives to be two errors
in recent contributions to the history
of the civil war. he stated that he had
it from the lips of the confederate
commissioners who went to Hampton
roads to confer with President Lin
coin that the only thing Lincoln would
agree to was that the confederates
should go home and take off their
uniforms" He denied in emphatic
terms that Lincoln had offered to paw
for the liberation of the slaves, states
the Philadelphia Record.
Mr.. Goode also said he wanted to
correct an error in a recent contribuo
ton to war history by Charles Francis
Adams, in which he makes it appear
that Gen. Lee favored surrenderinp
his army before it reached Appomat-
tox, and that President Davis was re-
sponsible for Lees plans not being
carried out. Mr.. Goode said he was
sent for by President Davis and Gen.
Lee for conference. Gen. Lee told
of the condition of his army and asked
If the Virginia people would stand an
other draft upon them for forage and
provisions. Mr.. Goode conferred with
his associates, and the result was, he
informed Gen. Lee, that the last ernst
of bread would be divided with the
army. Gen. Lee said not word about
surrendering.

on the Moros, who lost seven men. The
firing was at LOO yards range
The Moro villages were flying red

to Ee-occupy the ground gained by the
Americans, but the Moros were forci-

Datto (chie) Ganasi has sent del
egation to the American commander,
rendering the absolute submission OF
the men under his control.
Brigadier General Davis, In COM
mand at zamboanga, Island of Minda-
mao, has acknowledged the receipt
from Washington OF instructions TO
withdraw his troops from Mindanao,
but he urges that, owing TO the pres

the troops will result in the absolute
loss OF American prestige among the
Moros in Mindanao. His orders. how
ever, are explicit Lieutenant Colonel
Baldwin and his forces are beyond the
reach OF the telegraphic Instructions
from Washington.
Washington, April 23.-The war de-

Chaffee to delay the departure Of the
proposed expedition into Mindanao

rections from Washington. The presi-

FARMING MATTERS.

The government will in the near fu-
ture establish Il horse ranch in the
Philippines where all the horses and
mules required for military service can
be raised at a great saving. At the
present time every head of stock
landed there has cost the government
nearly $1,000 in gold. Then it is gen
orally conceded that imported stock
cannot stand the climate as well as
the native animals and that they die
much faster. The government can
raise stock at cost ranging from $50
to 500 gold a head. The horse raised
would be smaller than the average
American horse and better adapted for
cavalry service in that country. 1t is
acknowledged by many cavalry eX-
perts that American horses are too
large for scouting purposes in the
mountainous islands.

Feeding Tests.

c. j. Griffith. assistant agriculturist
at the Colorado State Agricultural col
lege. will conduct a number of very in
teresting and important experiments
in stock feeding during the coming
year. One of the first to be undertaken
will be that of determining the rela-
tive values of the first. second and
third cuttings Of alfalfa. There is
great deal Of controversy as TO which
cutting is the best. but as YET there
has been but few well defined attempts
made to find ont if there is any differ
cnce in the value Of the different cut
tings. and if so. just how much. The
sheep used in this test will be sepa-
rated into three lots and each lot will
hc fed the cuttings in order and the
results noted.
The recent beet pulp feeding expert
ment with sheep and swine is just
about completed. As soon as the AMI
mails are slaughtered and the weights
taken the facts learned about beet
pulp as food for hogs and sheep will
be given out. Judging from the ap-
pcarance of the animals before being
slaughtered. beet pulp is going to he Il
valuable addition to the variety of food
stuffs used by feeders in Colorado.
This experiment will be carried out on
larger scale as soon as arrange
ments can be made for Il supply of
pulp. Hogs. sheep and dairy COWS will
be used in this test. and the finer
points in feeding will be determined
one lot of each will hc fed beet pulp
As principal ration. another will be
given a course largely mixed with
grain, while a third lot will bc fed the
ordinary grain and hay. This test will
determine the proper amount To he fed
and how long it should he continued
in the case of sheep and hogs in order
to receive the greatest returns.
The soiling experiment that has just
been started will he of great interest
to the dairymen. In this case about n
dozen cows will be kept in the corral
and fed fresh cut alfalfa three times
per day. This substitute for pasturage
was tried with success last year in
Utah. They claim that four times as
many cows can be kept ON a given
acreage by the soiling method rs is
now by the ordinary methods Of pas.
turage.
The experiment in feeding the differ.
ent breeds of sheep and lambs TO deter
mine what variety will thrive the best
here and yield the greatest cash re-
turns will be an important one. In all
the tests with sheep to ind relative
food values the ShrOpsbites have uni
formly proved To be the best This
test will be a thorough one and will
show just what breed is the best for
