the weather, which was exceedingly
cold and disagreeable, fairly good
crowd attended the sale of cattle at
the State test farm Wednesday. Of
the 80 head of registered Short

such growth as to endanger your
land by turning, it may be advisable
to cut with a mower and leave to dry
some or cut over with disc harrow,
which would also tend to cut the rye

In answer to your letter, / would
advise leaving all manure under
shelter until ready to apply to land.
To compost makes more cost and
adds no value except in mechanical
way; that is, makes it easier to dis
tribute. The way / would work your
land would be to break as early now
as possible, then some thirty days be-
fore planting, run off rows and bed
out the land. Drill your manure in
the furrow and cover lightly. A week
before planting Grill your fertilizer
on this and run one or two sweep
burrows to mix the fertilizer and ma

The time to turn under rye for to-

growth the rye has made. 1t could
be left until say thirty days before
planting, when the rows could be run
off, the land be bedded out, and treat

A CONWCT'S CONFESSION.
It Reveals the Manner in Which His
Comrades Secured Arms and Ex-
plosives to Use in Escaping.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-A
complete confession was made to.
Warden Hall, of the state penitentiary,
last night by George Ryan, one of the
four convicts recaptured after escap-
ing from the penitentiary last Friday,
when three men were killed and sew
eral wounded, regarding the manner
in which the convicts secured arms
and ammunition and the nitro-glyc-
crime with which they blew up the
steel wagon gate in the outer wall of
the prison.
Ryan implicated II. E. Spencer, who,
was discharged from the penitentiary
on November 9. Ryan's story of the
plot to escape was confirmed by Con-
vict Raymond, another member of the
party that made the break for liberty.
Ryan said Spencer agreed to furnish
revolvers and nitro-g -glycerine, pur-
chasing the revolvers in Kansas City
with $40 which they gave him and
stealing nitro -elycerine from a mine.
These were let over the stockade,
which is not guarded at night, with
rope. Gov. Folk has offered $500 for
the arrest of Spencer.

Hayes Again Testifies.

Cleveland, Nov. 2S.-Otho l.. Hayes
told his version in federal court Mon
day of the story of the $4,000 certifi-
cate of deposit issued in favor CT the
Flickinger Wheel Co. 1t is this count
in the indictment that the government
believes will be the hardest to shake.
The government claim is that Hayes
issued the certificate when the Flick
niger concern had no funds in the
bank. Hayes admitted that the ac-
count of the Flickinger Wheel Co. was
overdrawn $1,000, but he claimed
that on the night the certificate was
made out Flickinger gave him note
for 100000, too late for it to be en-
tered in the banks books.

Superintendent Eyman's Report.

Massillon, O., Nov. 25.-The annual
report of Superintendent Eyman, of
the Massilon state hospital. was sub
mitted to Gov Herrick Friday. 1t
shows that the per capita cost per an
mum of inmates, exclusive of officers
salaries and based upon the amount
drawn from the state treasury, was
S10S.70; including officers salaries it
was S114.S4. This is the lowest per
capita cost in the history of the insti-
tuition, and is due to the large amount
of products obtained from the hospital
farm of 400 acres and the great saving
effected in fuel because of the building
of a switch to the grounds upon which
coal is hauled

now are flooding the west and north
west. Also to provide for uniform
