Nov. 10, via Fusan. 1t is reported
that a wound received by General
Stoessel has necessitated his confine-
ment in a hospital, that he refuses to
relinquish the command of the garri-
son and that he has issued orders to
the troops to die at their posts rather
than surrender.
1t is said that the spirit Of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by
continuous work, the lack of sup
plies and the hopelessness of of their
ability to make successful defense
of the fortress 1t is said, further,
that many of the Russian soldiers are
ready to surrender, but that they are
kept at their posts by officers who
threaten them with revolvers, and
that several soldiers who were sus
pected of desire to desert have beer
shot as warming to other would-bt
deserters.
The Japanese now believe that thu
garrison has almost reached the limi
of human endurance.

P. A. O'Farrell, a man of wide ex-
perience in the world of travel and
literature. tells of the country west
Of the Rockies that is known to all
of the fortunate residents of the Sec
tion to which he refers. His utter
ance is true tribute to favored
country, inhabited by more favor
able people:
"It has been my fate to wander In
lands and climes and to study social,
religious and political conditions In
many nations and in many countries,
and am free to confess l believe the
best country ever given to man lies
west Of the eastern spur of the Rock
les and north of Utah and California.
In richness of soil and variety Of pro-
ductions, it is unsurpassed upon the
globe. Its climate is the most salub-
rious and invigorating in all the
world, and in picturesqueness and
grandeur of scenery, it has no parallel
on this planet of ours. Its magnifi-
cent lakes, its glorious rivers, ite sub
lime mountains, stand alone. And
already are gathered here race Of
men as broad minded, as liberal aud
as progressive as sny TIM ever shaped
the destinies Of country or a ma
tion. IL is all these facts that make
me believe that the Pacific Northwest
will In time become the home OF the
most spligbtepedjpsople III the world

poets aud painters, who viii see here

The body will be met at Murray by
his sorrowing parents and other rela-
tives.
This was the first accident to occur
since the work on the big structure
began, and coming as it did, just as
the work is nearing completion, is
sad in the extreme. His untimely
death is severe shock to his invalid
wife and it was feared for time the
blow would prove fatal to her, but
she is bearing up admirably under
the trying ordeal.

Biackbirds At Prayer.

Here is the latest from the Park
hurst correspondent: For the last
ten years millions OF blackbirds have
annually gathered in a cedar swamp
near here
IL was in the swamp last week
mending a hedge fence. and made a
discovery. They were holding camp
meetings. the row OF sleek, fine-look
inging birds on the top OF the tallest
tree I think were ministers. and az
| watched, one OF them spread his
wings and talked in low, earnest
tones, and the multitude bowed their
heads.
Then he said something to them in
blackbird and all the birds in one tree
began to sing and several in the audi
ence also Joined in. The services then
began and were conducted by an old
bird with part of his tail gone. There
was some flirting and tittering going
on in the back trees. but most OF the
audience were quiet. 1t looked to
me as though many Of the birds were
asleep.
when the meeting closed, every
bird began TO talk, and such chip
music | never heard before. Then
they flew away to a field of grain and
destroyed an acre in ten minutes. -

Couldn't Hurt Tillman.

In Columbia, S. c.. Senator Tillmar
is not so popular as he is in other
parts OF the Palmetto state. A few
days ago a young Columbian entered
the outer Office of the city's leading

again.

THE COVERING OF SILAGE.

When sllage is to stand any length
Of time before feeding begins. it is
important that its surface should be
protected from the air. Green marsh
grass or clover makes n good covering.
Oat straw, or portion OF the silage
Itself, may be used If nothing cheaper
can be had. After the silo is filed it
should be tramped thoroughly every
two or three days for at least a week.
The object Of the repeated trampings
Is to overcome the tendency of the
silage TO adhere to the walls in set
tling, and thus leave it loose and open
so that air can get in.
1t is important to have a man in the
silo during the whole period Of filling
in order to keep the silage we'll scat
tered and the surface level and well
tramped around the walls. Everything
considered. 1t has been found that
slow filling OF the sllo. such as will
require week or ten days or even
longer, not only allows more feed to
De stored in 1t, but also insures better
silage than when hurried in three or
four days Time is required for the
silage to settle and to expel the en-
tangled air by heating and by the get
ting rid of the air favors smaller losses
and sweeter silage.
II the silage is rather ripe and dry
when cut it is advisable to wet the
top with water when the sllo is full
at the rate OF about two gallons per
square foot OF surface. The object OF
this water is to restore that which Is
lost by evaporation due to heating. and
to quickly develop n thin. wellrotted.
very wet layer on the surface which
then forms n nearly alright cover.
In the construction of silos it Is very
important to have the horizontal
dimensions such that the rate of feed
ing shall be rapid enough 10 permit no
moulding on the exposed surface.
Slight traces OF mould have been
observed in silage when being fed at
the rate OF 12 inches per day, and this
fed slower than this daily. Each two
inches of corn silage will weigh on
the average I5 pounds per square
foot. and on this basis the proper sur
face area would be placed at five
square feet per COW. 1t is quite posi-.
bic that this feeding area may be
enlarged somewhat. but It is serious
mistake to make 1t so large that there
is danger of there being spoiled silage
oi the surface which must he shoveled
aside every time the silage is taken
out.
The best plan Is TO have the silo rs
deep as possible and the diameter rela.
lively small. This construction will
give the largest capacity for a given
size. because the silage will have a
greater depth In which TO settle and
will be more compact.-Professor L.
w. Taylor in The American Cult

later he was called % the telegraph
office. where the following converse.
tion took place:
You know we could not let your
dispatch pass"
Not let it pass, But why. IL you
please?"

"And il did. what them Is it not
