TRINIDAD, March 16,-Some weeks
go there was published an abstract of
a letter which had been sent to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by a lady IN Caracas
complaining that her son had been i'm
prisoned three years in the fortress of
San Carlos without having had even
the pretense of a trial on charge of
having taken arms against the govern
ment.
When the news reached Caracas 1t
was suspected that certain lady! Nine.
TayIhardat, had written the letter. She
had a son, Colonel Taylhardat, confined
in San Carlos, and 1t was reported that
his health had suffered greatly from
the confinement and the hardships he
had undergone.

Field glasses are not needed to see Long Island

Gedney Farm at White Plains, although it is
about four miles away. On a bright day the
smoke from New-York City can be seen.
Situated at the crest of the White Plains water
shed, Gedney Farm commands view of the
countryside that shows a pretty bit of nature.
The establishment of Gedney Farm, the de-
velopment of its many acres, and the beautify
ing of a large area Of waste land mark the ten
dency OF the wealthy man of to-day to retire
from the noise and hustle of city life and strife
and locate himself within a domain where he
may spend his hours undisturbed.
Simplicity is the feature Of Mr. Wilets's home
stead, as is shown in every nook and corner.
The house IS beautiful, yet simple. The interior
is furnished well, yet not elaborately.
The stable for show horses contains some Of

he could take many ribbons should his entries
pass before the judges.
The poultry department at Gedney Farm has
made rapid progress. and at the recent shows
many of the coveted ribbons were carried away

Minorcas White WyandOttes and Orpingtons
with the quality to create envy in the heart of
any poultry fancier
The piggery, built of cement is roomy light
and comfortable. Each occupant has a nice
fathing pool, while for warm weather the quar-
teIs cool and shady The pride Of Gedney
Farm must surely be the cattle. While Mr.
Wiiiets has shown interest in many other
lines Of thoroughbred livestock, the enthusiasm
over the cattle is unbounded. The stock build

contains every appliance for the comfort of the
inmates and for the execution of the work

illusions, which reads as follows:
Wheat should yield better the long
er it is grown in one locality. If it
does not, if it shows signs of running
out it simply means that proper care
has not been taken. All wheat seed
should be thoroughly famed to free
it from small, shrivelled, lightweight
kernels and all foreign seeds. Wheat
for seed should never be stored in
deep bins with the grain for market,
where it is liable to become heated,
but should be stored in dry, shallow,
well ventilated bins. If such care is
taken, wheat in this region will not
decrease in yield when grown in the
same locality, provided proper crop
rotations, methods Of manuring and
tillage are followed to maintain the
fertility of the soil.''
This may sound surprising to some
Of the allwheat farmers who have fol
lowed the popular notion so long that
anything contrary is a shock to their
nerves. We believe that similar in
telligent care and methods pursued
in handling animals on the farm will
eliminate a very large proportion of
the evils now attributed to inbreed-
ing.

The Fat Cattle Market.

In a communication from Chicago
it is stated that assurance is expressed
in cattle circles that the immediate
future of the fat cattle market will
be not less satisfactory than at pres
ent. August witnessed an apprecia-
ton of about SOC per cwt. in finished
beef values and only about half that
amount was lost during September.
That feed cattle are comparatively
scarce is obvious; otherwise the
strong weight steer would not have
sold during the summer season at a
premium over light and heavy weight
stuff.
Feed lots in the middle west states
contain cattle for which owners con-
fidently expect cents a pound on the
Chicago Christmas market. To reach
that altitude further advance of so
cents a hundred is necessary, and it
does not seem improbable. That such
cattle pay the feeder is, however, ex,
tremely doubtful; in fact, an expert
enced feeder could not make them
without heavy loss. A load of finished
steers that went over the scales at
the Chicago stock yards week before
last at $3.50 per cwt. did not pay the
feeder more than 20 cents a bushel for
his corn.
Making the beef that fetches top
prices is largely habit. 1t requires
feeding period long enough to over
tax the staying powers of all but few
This year high level corn market in
the middle west will doubtless make
the number of such cattle as New York
and Boston want fewer than ever and
maintenance of present prices for the
next three months is a reasonable pre-
diction. When feeders are holding
their cattle in the expectation of MAX
ing the top price on the Christmas
market there is not likely to be much
demand for grass fed cattle from the
far west, hence it happens that the
good prices expected by the feeders
in the middle west have a tendency
to pull down the prices on cattle on
grass in the far west.

The international Show.

That the International live stock
exposition has found a warm spot in
the hearts of the live stock and agri-
cultural people of the United States,
Canada and across the water is en-
phasized as never before by the very
much increased inquiry as to rates and
dates and the large number of con-
gratulatory letters on the construction
of the New Coliseum. That the ex-
position is filling it's mission by it's
annual lessons clearly taught to the
man is acknowledged by the leading
educators of the country. The show
comes at a time when it is convenient
not only for the father to attend. but
to bring the boys and mother and the
girls to see and learn all about the
wonderful strides being made on do
nestle animal production. This year
it is held from December I'd to 9th at
the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, and
possibly this years show means moro
to the people at interest than any pre-
vious event of its character in their
history, as a joining of hands with
those who show by their acts that
they are willing to strengthen your
hands in the development of the live
stock industry should be taken advan-
tage of by every farmer-stockman in
the country. Low rates which will be
given by the railways will be an in
ducement for large attendance. The
