pounds of nitrogen per acre and II
wheat or some other cereal crop fol
lows, the results will generally bear
out the wisdom of blowing under the
aftermath. IF il is desired to cut
the second crop for grain, the stubble
and waste remaining should then be
plowed under TO prevent the loss Of
nitrogen through teaching, and it
may then be seeded TO corn the fol
lowing spring. Peas can easily be
used as a soil renovator after wheat.
If the wheat land is broken imme-
diately after harvest and we'll seeded
with peas, they will make a growth
of as much as two feet by the first of
September, when they should be i'm
mediately turned under and the
ground rolled and narrowed to hold
the moisture and the land cultivated
at least once a week until the time
OF seeding. If there is any way to
insure a crop of wheat better than
this, we do not know it. Cow peas
may also be used as a catch crop
after almost any crop on the farm,
or they may be sown in by-places
and furnish useful food supplies for
green feeding.
Of all the crops fed to our COWS
singly as a forage crop, none excels
the cow pea, o is there any eaten
more readily or with greater financial
results. Experiments made at this
Station indicate that it's feeding
value is not thoroughly appreciated,
and that where cow pea hay can be
abundantly produced it can probably
be successfully substituted for COT
ton seed meal in a dairy or beef
ration, and this of curse means
much TO the farmer of limited CAPT.
tai. Cow peas and sorghum sown
broadcast for green feeding is the
finest soiling crop that the Station
has yet discovered, and we can
recommend it without qualification
to the dairymen of the State. These
crops can either be drilled or sown
broadcast in succession, sc as to last
when combined with corn almost the
entire season. The making Of COW
pea vine hay has been looked upon
as a very delicate operation, but the
difficulty can be overcome by the use
of a small amount Of straw mixed in
with the vines when cooking them
up. 1t takes some time and trouble
TO make pea vine hay, but this can
be accomplished by judioious man
agement and when done is vel.
worth the effort and time required.

STOCK RAISING IN THE EAST.

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER says:
SIN our last issue Harry Farmer
talked of the advantages offered by
our eastern swamps and gavsnnahs
for beef raising. 'Arsohel' we
think, furnished Us a letter on the
same subject some months ago.
We should like TO hear from others"
A most useful subject for discus
sion, particularly at this time of
high values for beef cattle.
We have always heard our eastern
friends boast of the excellence of
their beef, fattened upon the reed
marshes which T so Rbundant
throughout that section, and recall
q own experience a few years ago
at Elizabeth City. The steaks and
roast furnished by the excellent
hotel at which we stopped were so
really good, JUICY and tender, OF
suoh delicate flavor, we ventured TO
enquire of the kindly Bonifaoe
whence he got the meat, and he re-
piled it was all home raised, fattene6
In the marshes near by.
Whatever the outcome of the pres.
emit agitation as to the rapid advance
in the price of meats, the Post feels
justified in saying that for some
time-years at least-oattle raising
will be one of the profitable indus
tries of our country, and no better
time possible could come TO our east
ern friends for availing of their rich
marshes and thus convert their
waste native products into profitable
as we'll as juicy beef and mutton

The wise farmer Is not hasty, at
the approach of spring and the ap-
pearance of young green blades in
the pasture in taking his stock off
dry feed and allow them 80 feed on
the young shoots. If this practice,
however, is resorted to, there is
likely TO be but one ultimate result,
and that is that when the TINT comes
when the stock will need green for
age, there will be none TO be had, Ss
was the case last year. The herd
will trample down the soft ground
and in case of an early dry spell, the
surface of the soil will be baked hard
az stone, in which no grass can grow.

HOW TO FEED SHREDDED CORN FoD1zl

Experiments at the Maryland sta
ton show that:
l.. A mixed feed, made by wet+:ng
shredded corn fodder and grain to
gether, is the best way TO feed corn
fodder.
3. The mixed feed was more diges-
tible and produced more flesh and
milk than the same food fed separ
Ately and dry.
8. There was less fodder wasted
by feeding it as a mixed feed than
by feeding fodder and grain separ-
ately and dry.
4. The digestibility of shredded
fodder was increased by feeding it
wet-the increase being sufficient TO
warrant wetting.
5. The amount of water consumed
by animals is about the same with
the different methods of feeding.

CONSIDERABLE FIRE LOSS
DAMAGE TO TWO STABLES ON NORTH
MERIDIAN STREET.
A Flat Building on West Thirteenth
Street Also Slightly Damaged
Origin Unknown.

threatening fire broke out last night
at $50 o'clock in the two-story frame
stable belonging to Mrs. Pierce at 1256
North Meridian street, which communicate
ed to the stable belonging TO ]. n. Carey
at 12G0 North Meridian street, and also TO
the two-story fat at II and 10 West Thir-
teenth street. The loss to the Pierce stable
was total and is estimated at $500. The
loss to the Carey stable is thought to be
about $500. while at the fiat on Thirteenth
street the loss is estimated at $500.
How the fire originated could not be
learned 1t was thought that lamp ex-
ploded in the living rooms of the Pierce
hostler, who roomed upstairs. The man
was not at home at the time of the fire
When the fire was discovered the entire
building was afiame. BY the time the fire
department had turned water on the build
ing the flames had communicated to the
stable owned by J. N Carey. While the
fremen were looking after this fire 1T was
noticed that the roof on the fiat on Thir-
tenth street had become ignited. In the
two stables burned there were several val
liable horses, but these were got out safely
The colored man employed by Mr.. Carey
also had living rooms on tie second floor
of the stable and his household furnish
ings were destroyed. Neither he nor his
wife was at home at the time.
Mrs. Armstrong occupied the upper fiat
on Thirteenth street and the loss to her
furniture is estimated at $50. In this house
saved much of the furniture from damage
by water.

KINGSTON, Oct. 10-The following in

has been received from reliable authority
at Colon: THE Colombian civil revolution
within the past few weeks has assumed
certain new phases, the most noteworthy
OF which are the resumption Of hostilities
IN the interior of the republic and the ma

Grenada and the United States.

CASEY STILL At THE BAT
AMERICAN ADMIRAL HOLDS. THE
GAME IN HAND AT PANAMA.
Holds a Conference with Colombian
Repre.entatiyes-wi Restrict the
Rebel Naval Movements.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Colombian
government. on complaint of General Sala-
Ear, in command Of its forces on the 18TH
mus, has demonstrated with the United
States minister at Bogota respecting Ad-
miral Casey's reported refusal TO allow
troops an6 munitions OF war to cross the
isthmus The Colombian government said
1t did not see how it could suppress the
rebellion If it were not allowed to move
troops freely in its own territory.
The officials here are confident that Ad-
niral Casey's order has been misunder-
stood. They feel sure that If he stopped
the transfer of Colombian troops OR war
munitions 1t was only for some temporary
reason. The Colombian government has
been assured in a courteous manner that
the United States government has no in
tention OF trenching on Colombian sover-
eighty, which is guaranteed by special
treaty provision. Admiral Casey was in
formed that what had been done was still
approved. but was reminded that he must
avoid any infringement of Colombian SOW
ereignty unless he was positively obliged
90 do so TO protect the railroad. 1t is
presumed, therefore. that the way is again
open for the transit OF Colombian troops
whenever they can be transported without
inviting actual battle on the line of the
road.
The State Department officials are at a
loss to understand why any irritation has
been caused in Colombia on the govern
ment's side at least by the actions of Ad-
miral Casey. 1t is stated that the admiral
was instructed, exactly as his predecessors
In command there, Commanders Mclean
and McCrea were. TO refrain from any ac-
ton that would tend to deprive Colombia Of
her sovereignty over the isthmus. On
the other hand, in order TO prevent reclama-
tons by foreign countries. based on the
assumption by the United States in regular
treaty form, Of responsibility for the free
dom of traffic across the isthmus, il was
found necessary to instruct the naval off,
GERS to prevent either party TO the revolu-
ton from taking any action respecting
the railway which, by making it the scene
OF hostilities, would interrupt the traffic
the United States was bound to keep open.
1t Is the common belief here that if the
injunction Of the naval officers worked
hardship to either party to the civil strife
then the insurgents were the principal
sufferers. as IL is believed here that but
for our action Colon and Panama would
have been captured by the insurgents long
ago.

BOYS in JUVENILE COURT
JUDGE DEALS HARsHLY WITH TWO
YOUNG CRIMINALS.
+. A. Walker Wants His BOY Sent to
the Reformatory-Dispos
OF other Cases.

Judge Stubs dealt harshly with two
young criminals yesterday in Juvenile
Court by sending their cases to the grand
jury. In one instance complaint was made
by a father. who said his boy was a KEEP
tomaniac. In the other case il was demon
strated that the boy was not considered
thief without intention. but had carried on
big business by stealing property and
disposing Of ii for money. Over this case
Judge Stubs was somewhat nettled when
the boys mother was placed on the stand.
The boy is Clarence Means, and all the
witnesses testified that he was given to
much stealing. The mother said her boy
was always led into wrongful acts, and
she thought he was better than most other
boys. Judge Stubs. without much hest
fancy, said he would send the case to the
grand jury in order that the boy might be
sent to Plainfield, inasmuch as the mother
was not willing to make affidavit against
her boy.
Another case was that of F. A. Walker,
who brought his eleven-year- son into
court. He said the boy would not remain
at home and that he stole every cent of
money he could get his hands on. The boy
through his tears admitted that his father
and mother treated him kindly, yet he could
not explain what fOrce led MIN TO steal the
money and also TO remain away from
home The father said he would ask Judge
Afford this morning for writ to send the
boy TO Plainfield.
A case of youthful degeneracy was
brought to light when seven youngsters
were arraigned on the charge of stealing
a cask containing thirty-two gallons OF beer
from a car on the u, L. & w. tracks. The
boys drank plentifMly of the beer, and one
of the crowd said TO be the leader, became
intoxicated. He admitted that he broke
the seal of the car and also got buckets in
which he carried the beer away. All of
the boys were very frank in giving their
testimony, and from the evidence ii was
proven that Everett Hendricks had led
them into the affair. Judge Stubs was in
clined to send the Hendricks boy TO Plain
field, and the boys mother testified that he
was incorrigible. but she said she would
exert greater efforts in the future TO keep
him from following his evil ways. On this
plea the Judge consented TO allow the boy
to go home with his mother. The other
boys. after being fined s. and costs, were
released and Judgment was suspended.
The cases against the five negro boys
charged with entering a number OF houses
on the North Side and stealing copper, lead
pipe and gas fixtures, was again postponed
until next Friday.

Marriages and Divorces.

Statistics have been gathered by the state
statistician's office which show there was
one divorce for every seven marriages in
Indiana in the year ending June go 1902.
There were 26,914 marriage licenses issued
in Indiana during the year. and 1852 di-
vorces granted. Clark county shows a re-
markable decrease i'm the number of mar
riage licenses. In the year ending June
80, 1901, 1,4S9 marriage licenses were issued
in Clark, while for the year ending June 80
1902, only SIS were issued. This decrease
is a result of the attorney general calling
a halt on the manner in which licenses
were issued in that county Madison coun-
ty shows the biggest increase in divorces
ninety-three. Delaware had an increase of
sixty-nlne = divorces and Grant county
eighty-four ST. Joseph county granted
thirty-eight fewer divorces in 1902 than i'm
1901. In Marion county there was a de-
crease from 43l to AIS.

CASEY IN CONTROL.
The Admiral Exercises q Firm Hand
the Isthmus.

PANAMA, Colombia, Oct. "A confer
ence between the government representa-
lives and Rear Admiral Casey took place
yesterday. The admiral subsequently said
that the object of the conference was to
see If the government and revolutionists
had come to some agreement or arranged
the basis for such an agreement He could
not say much on the subject because he
had only one side of the situation. He con-
sidered. however that the terms offered I'm

His only Idea In comforting with the au-
thorities here was to end the strife, which
he considered unpatriotic. for it not only
ruins the country, but delays the steps be-
ing tahen looking to the completion Of the
canal He did not see from the arguments
he had heard that there was much differ
ence in the principles upheld by either of
the Colombian parties except in matters
relative to the church.

which the government offered and In a day
or two viii send communication to Gen.
Herrera, the revolutionary commander. ex-
pressing his views the situation and will
propose that the general hold conference
with General Salazar, the government COM
mander.
Regarding his refusal to allow the Colom-
bian government TO transport troops on the
railroad the admiral said the United States
had taken this action in order to maintain
free transit. He knew General Herrera
would not dare to interfere with trains fiy-
ing the American flag, but he thought III the
government was permitted to transport
troops or war material along the line il
would be provoking to the revolutionisfs
and might cause an interruption of traffic
1t Is reported that the Liberals to the num-
Der of 500 to 1000 men have a camp back OF
the Empire station. and IL is claimed in he
half OF Admiral Casey that If the govern
ment reinforcements are very DESTROYS of
reaching. Panama they can march here
from Colon.
1t is not known how long the United

using the trains to transport troops but N
IS admitted that Admiral Casey will not AL
