Trade Conditions in Morocco.

Ion Perdicaris in International Quar-
terly: h critics ignorant Of trade
conditions in Morocco do not realize Is
that the entire trade, both imports and
exports, amounts only to about S15,-
100000 per annum, and that the full
hllment of government orders for pub
lie works required to develop trans
port and other constitutes
the only important financial operation
OF the immediate future. If France
were willing to assume the RESPONSE
biltty or expense Of maintaining order,
she might have been entitled to reserve
FOR French syndicates alone such ad-
vantages; but as it is, the kaiser Is
amply justified in insisting that Ger
man merchants shall have a share in
placing tenders for these Moorish or
ders, tenders or bids which, unless thus
especially protected, would be defeated
by the predominant influence which the
French profess the right to assert by
virtue Of the Anglo-French agreement
Of April. 1904. and the subsequent
Franco-Spanish agreement. The only
way to secure this right to a share
IN such enterprises is for the various
governments represented at the Madrid
conference in 1880 to hold the sultan
20 that agreement, and to refuse to
recognize n right on the part of
france, England or Spain to guarantee
to France or to any power an exclusive
Or pr~edominating influence in Morocco.
The authorities at Washington who
scored brilliantly by the energy thew
displayed in securing the release Of
Raisulps hostages from SO painful a
predlcamen have now, also, taken UP
q position which, in view OF this lat
er and still more dramatic incident OF
the sudden appearance Of William OF
Hohenzollern on the Tangier stage.
would seem equally we'll considered
and advantageous. The department of
state asserts that should France an
mex Morocco the government Of the
United States might accept without de-
muir an effective occupation of the s11l-
tanss dominions assumed in the inter
est Of law and order, which 1t has
seemed Of late beyond the sultan's own
una1ded power to maintain efficiently:

France Initiates in Shoes.

From United States Consul Ridgely.
Nantes, France: Among the features
Of 1904 has been the general appear
ance of shoes closely resembling in
form AMI style those made in the Uni
ted States.
The clumsy. %ungainly and heavy
French shapes ear gradually disappear
ing. In their stead are coming grace
fully cut and finely finished shoes OF
a decided American appearance. III
fact is, however, that it is rather u
shoe-making machines than the shoes
themselves that have come to France
In any event, the American-appearing
shoes which are now quite generally
seen in this city and elsewhere IN the
provinces are made principally in Paris
with, machinery imported from the
United States.
This does not alter the fact that
some bona-fde American shoes are on
sale here, but they are much dearer
than the French made articles, and it
is not likely that they will make head
way against the strong combination
which is represented by cheap French
labor and prolific American machin-

HARVESTING CORN.

The time to cut corn thai is raised
for both fodder and grain Is as soon
as the ears are nearly all dented. II
1t is raised for fodder principally, it
may be cut while the ears are in the
milk if there is danger of frost. Cut
all corn before frost if it is ripa
enough, as a frost reduces the value
Of the fodder. If a killing frost should
come early, u the corn and put in
shock as quickly as possible.
A corn binder that will cut and bind
thick corn that is planted one bushei
or so on an acre, on rich mellow soil,
without %clogging, and bind field corn
without knocking off the ears, is the
n to use, says r. J. Brooks in the
Northwestern Agriculturist. Use eithes
two Or fOur horses on the harvester
as three horses abreast tramp the bun
dies too much. Cut as near the ground
as you can so stubble won't bother
plow. Shock the corn just as fast as
1t is cut, never leave it to lie on the
ground over night or through a rain
storm, II you can possibly avoid it.
1t needs two men to shock to advan-
tage using a shock horse, SO that you
can see through the shock one foot
from the ground after it is finished,
thus allowing the air to blow through.
Every shock should be tied with
binding twine before you move the
shock horse. Use a t~hree-fourths inch
rope with a knot n each end to tight
en-; put the rope around the shock
about two feet from top. Let each
man pull at an end as they stand fac
Ing each other on opposite sides, and
pull hard. Then man takes hold
of the ropes where they cross and
holds tight while the other ties the
tWine; Don't use a rope with a ring
or pulley in n end and pull from one
end In Tightening shock, or every
shock will be twisted and more liabla
to go down before stacking time. Sc.
the shockrow in a straight line so q
team can follow it more easily In
stacking time.
STACK the corn as oon as thorough
~ dry, In small round stacks, keeping
the middle Of the stack real full and
solld from the ground to tip SO that
should com either when you are
stacking or feeding 1t out. Build one
STACK IN a place, SO you can get at it
on either side when feeding it out. II
you are going to thrash or shred don't
put more than two small stacks in a
settlng, as a very large stack Of shred
oed odder won't keep as well.
Don't tramp the fodder any mora
than you can possibly help after it is
lhrashed or shredded, as it is more
maple to heat and spoil, the more solid
1t Is packed.
Don't put shredded or thrashed fod-
ger by means of a blower into a barn
mat IS partly ull Of horse hay, as it
nus me hay with dirt more than It
would II a carrier were used.
Don't put any quantity Of shelled
corn as it comes from the machine IL.
TO tight bin, or it will surely spoil;
rather spread it thin on a large foot
SO 1t may be shoveled over and aired
AND last, but not least, don't let tbs
corn stand In the Shock till winter, so
you VIII have to shovel it out of tina
snow and chop it loose from tina
ground. These don'ts all save dollars
in handling corn

Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times

U he does not care for anything else
after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts,
which he uses with milk or cream, and
then he Is through with his meal. Even
on Thanksgiving Day he refused tur-
Key and all the good things that make
up that great dinner, and ate his dish
OF Grape-Nuts and cream with the best
results and none Of the evils that the
other foolish members of tile family
experienced.

NOTES ON sILAGE
BY w. J. Fraser.

An example Of great loss OWNS
the form and faulty construction CAV, "
lun5er the writer's notice a few dSaaas
ago, when a square silo, with a cam,
lily o. fifty tons vas built, withssss
tight, but rigid walls. Simply y. ~
springing Of the sides Of the slid i
lowed the air to gain access to IN.
silage to such an extent that thassa'
tire fifty tons spoiled .completelyy Sins.
for mechanical reasons, 1t Is practioaHsS
Impossible to build a square wood sn,,
silo is the only proper form.
To obtain satisfactory results silas.s
must be in perfect condition when fssE
Since. fermentation soon takes plassl
when silage is exposed to the air. H.
silo should not be of too great diametas
Not more than eight square feet Of snr.:
face should be allowed for each COW IL
winter; then, when feeding forty
pounds of silage per COW, a layer IL
Inches deep would be fed off daIlea{
When silage is fed in summer, it is ad.
visable that the exposed area be MT
over half his size, so that a layer tbrss
Inches deep nay be used daily. How.
ever, much stock is to be fed, a sin
20 to % feet in diameter is as larssi
as should be built. If a silo is of great.
er diameter than this, much of the sill
age is at too great distance from tia
door, increasing the labor of removal
The deeper the silo the greater tha
pressure and the more compactly Mil
the silage be pressed together, hence
the larger the amount that can be
stored per cubic foot. For example. a
silo twenty feet in diameter and forty
feet deep will hold twice as much a.
one of the same diameter and twenty
Ave feet deep. This shows the economy
Of reasonably deep silos. To be well
proportioned the height should not bs
more than twice the diameter. No sIlo
should be less than thirty feet deep and
to get sufficient depth for a silo not
over twelve feet in diameter, it may
be placed four or five feet into the
ground.
The number of tons of silage needed
can readily be estimated from the sizs
Of the herd and the amount to be fed
daily. Even when 1t Is desired to feed
as much silage as possible, not more
than forty pounds per COW should be
fed daily. In Illinois silage will usually
be needed from about October 20 to
May 10, or 200 days. Each COW should
have an allowance then Of 200 times
forty pounds, which is 5000 pounds OF
silage, or four tons per cow for the
year. A herd Of ten cows, will require
4 silo holding forty tons; a herd Of
thirty COWS, 120 tons; fifty COWS, 200
tons, and 100 COWS, 400 tons. Where
young stock is raised an allowance
should be made for them.

The First and Best a
Grand Success.
ALL PROMISES FULFILLED
The Weather, the Attendance, the
Exhibition, the Sports and the
Special Attractions
Unsurpassed.
A BIG SOCIAL FAIR.

1 =
success of the Mineral Point fair of
| 1906 The weather was ideal: there
was a splendid exhibition in all de-
partments: the attendance each day
was very large; the base ball games
were more interesting, and were wit
messed by more people than ever be-
fore; the races were hotly contested,
and speedy; while the special attract
ions were the best, and furnished rare
amusement to the assembled multi
tudes, who all the while were ent er-
tanned with good music by the bands.
The management first arranged for
a great exhibition, and for three full
days of interesting sporting events,
and then secured the best special
attractions obtainable, and widely
advertised their whole program; and
their efforts met with deserved success
The week opened with rain ON Sunday,
Monday and part of Tuesday; but
cleared just in time, and Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday were ideal
pleasant days, with no dust or other
Inconvenience; and the people of
southwestern Wisconsin, and many
friends from outside, got together and
held grand reunion.
There was magnificent exhibit of
live stock, perhaps the largest and
best of the many fine exhibits of live
stock ever held in Mineral Point.
The awarding of the premiums for
fat steers attracted special attention.
Thomas Graber won the first premium
on three-year-old Short Horn, and
Fred GRADER won the second on a
three year old Hereford. Both ami
mails were purchased by the awarding
Judge for the state experimental farm
at Madison, and will be exhibited at
the international fat stock show at
Chicago.
While, owing to the early dates of
the fair, the show of vegetables
grains, fruits, etc, was somewhat
limited, the exhibit in the main hall
was never before equaled. Merchants
interest in the matter and made a
great show of articles of great merit,
which were, as a whole and in partic-
ular, very carefully and tastefully
arranged.
James Brice, he great statesman,
saws that he finds that the American
people are giving themselves up more
and more to watching athletic games
of sport; and if Mr.. Brice is correct
in his observation, Mineral Point was
on all three days of the fair truly
representative American community.
The baseball games were watched with
interest by many thousands.
The game on Wednesday was won
by Willow Springs over Dodgeville,
by score of to 3.
On Thursday Livingston defeated
Linden by score of 6 to 3.
The great game on Friday, between
Highland and Mineral Point, was the
game of deepest interest, ard attract
ed the attention of the largest crowd
In the last half of the eighth inning
the Highland team objected to ruling
of the umpire and refused to play out
the game, which was awarded to
Mineral Point, the score being to g.
The fastest time was made in the
free-ior-all trot or pace, on Friday,
one heat of which was won in 2;l7.
