CUBANS ELECTED IN 1905 ARE
TO BE PLACATED.
Decree Under Specific Authority Of
President of United States Issued by
Governor Magoon of Cuba-Leading
Men of Cuban Affairs Greatly De-
pIore it.

Havana, Dec. BY a decree to be
issued soon under specific authority
of the president of the United States,
the seats of members of the Cuban
congress elected in 1905 will be de-
clared vacant"
This was the announcement by Gov
ernor Magoon to 25 senators and men,
bers of the house of representatives
whom he had invited to attend con-
ference in the palace. After review
ing all the facts developed by the
President Roosevelt in response to
President Palma's appeal for interven-
ton, Governor Magoon called the at
tention of the members to the fact
that the determination as to the sta
tus of the congress had been reserved
by the peace commission for consid-
Grafton at Washington. He then COM
municated to them the final determine
ton of President Roosevelt that the
seats of all the senators and repre-
sepatives elected in 1905 shall be con-
sidered vacant from October l, 1906,
the vacancies thereby created being
filled by an election under the provis-
ional government in accordance with
the proclamation of Governor Taft,
September 20.
Governor Magoon explained to the
members of congress that he consid-
cred it only fair and courteous to sub
NIT to them the terms of the decree
prior to it's formal PRONUNCIATION SO
that they might decide what attitude
they desired to assume. After all the
facts had been placed before them Sen
ator DOLE and Tamyao expressed their
appreciation of the courtesy in behalf
of their colleagues and the conference
then adjourned.
General Ruis Rivera, formerly Sec
rotary of the interior, says that he
realized the decree merely carried out
an obligation of interest to the peace
commission, but he greatly jeplored
| it, believing it's effect would be disas
trous. He said he was firm in the be-
ing peaceful conditions consists in the
election of an entirely new congress
whereas the proposed election, which
would result in turning over the gov
eminent to the liberals, would surely
result in a. new instruction the mo
ment the American troops were with
drawn from the island. The fact was
said General Rivera. the United States
had ignored this which was patent tc
all Cubans and pointed irresistible tt
the conclusion that if the Unites
States withdrew it would be with the
full recognition Of the necessity for {
speedy return and the consequent ex
tinction of Cuban independence.

Dry Farming.

The Campbell system Of dry farm
Ing, which was first tried In the semi
arid portions of North Dakota and
about which much has appeared In
newspapers and magazines within the
past year or two, is doing great things
for many portions Of the Western
States, where with a rainfall Of but
ten or twelve inches per annum bumper
crops of corn, wheat, beets and other
crops can be grown. This system of
crop culture Is based on the conserva-
ton Of practically all Of the moisture
in the soil through a dust or surface
mulch, and under it as high as forty
bushels OF corn to the acre have been
grown In North Dakota, fifty bushels
OF wheat per acre in western Nebraska,
while better than twenty tons Of beets
have been produced in Colorado. While
this method Of crop culture has little
value in those portions Of the country
whore there Is an abundant rainfall, it
does have tremendous import in all
territory where there Is fertility in
tho soil, but an annual rainfall of less
than twenty inches.

THE CALL OF THE CHURCH.
BY Rev. Ienkin IL

~ ~SSTs " ChhlA AlOYQ Jones'.
The call Of the church l would speak
of is that which comes to the respect
able men and women who begrudge
time and money given to the church
who are prudential here while they
are lavish elsewhere; who subordinate
the claim of the church to the claims
OF the clubs, the school, the golf links,
the theater, opera and that Intangible
something called society" with its So
called social duties, Its social demands.
Its social expenditures, ambitions and
qualifications.
What is this church whose claims
disturb our quiet and interfere with
our accumulations and our pleasures?
We need not go far for an answer. Ex-
perience, philosophy and history unite
In saying that the church is now and
always has been school Of ethics, an
academy of morals, the training ground
or character. The church is a human
compact In the interest of religion and
one OF the fundamental quests of re-
ligion everywhere and always is right
eousness.

Thousands of dollars worth of farm
machinery Is now being shipped into
the country that will never again be
protected from the weather.
This exposure means an appalling
financial loss to the farmers, since 1t re-
duces fully one-half the period Of use

When buying your new implements,
promise yourself that you will provide
them shelter and the best Of care. Make
your arrangements for housing before
you purchase Summer rains are as de-
structive Is winter snows.

AL ADAMS AS AN EXAMPLE.

After a lifetime devoted to money
making Al Adams ended his earthly
existence by the mad act of suicide.
Mammon was his master and hard
master he proved in the long run. The
road he traversed was a thorny one,
shutting him out from all that renders
life worthy. Truly is the way Of the
transgressor hard.
There was time, we may believe,
when as an honest toiler he found that
happiness and peace which centers
about the family circle gathered around
the Preside after 4 day Of honorable

war Is necessary, that without 1t there
Is nothing to stir the mind of the ma
lions to higher things than trade, lux
ury and the ideals Of the attainment
Of comfort
This Is not true. Modern life is a
great school. It's complex scheme gives
as rigid, as perfect discipline as does
the camp. The inventions which are
brought out from year to year teach
that the plan Of cooperation, Of CO.
ordination, is the plan to follow. 1t
Is not necessary to have the scourge
Of war, to bring forth moral power. It
Is shown In every day life. The affairs
OF peace develop it. The things that
men must do, the difficulties which men
must face produce the same endurance
as does the battle field

Care of Orchards Pays.

Fruit growers about Saugatuck,
Mich, have been busy trimming their
apple trees, says Country Gentleman.
Ten years ago they were thinking of
cutting them down and setting out
peach trees. To-day every half-dead
tree is trimmed, and If there Is not
enough manure, fertilizer is bought for
these half-dead trees. Six years ago
one Of Saugatuck's young farmers mar
ried Chicago girl who used to spend
her vacation there. She loved country
life, and was a subscriber to agricul-
tural magazines. Her husbands or
chard was just like the rest, untrimmed
and had never been sprayed. She made
him buy manure, trim the trees, pillow
and spray. Two years ago he began
to hire his neighbours orchards. Last
year he was the only one who had ap-
pies to sell, and cleared $1,000.

Says q Western writer on sheep:
The market calls for sheep with dark
face and legs, and a close fleece is
advantage. There never has been a
time when fair profit could not be
obtained from the keeping Of sheep.
1'here are in the world to-day 9O,000.O00
fewer sheep than twelve years ago, and
tho consumption Of mutton and wool is
rapidly increasing, hence it is safe to
conclude that sheep to the farmer is
safe proposition. Do not start on o.
large scale; begin low and work up.
The Western farmer does not like to do
this, and you are no exception. You
have never planted the apple because
you did not expect to stay to eat the
fruit. You must rush on and do big
things. Do you not know that in the
animal as we'll as the vegetable world
rapid growth means rapid decay? Plant
tMs live stock business and then give
1t time to strike its roots deep down,
and after it is fairly rooted allow the
top to grow.

GOLDOUIPUT OF us.
GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
In WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado and Nevada Show
Largest Gans-NearIy Four Hun
dred Million in Gold Produced in
the States of the Unlon-Statistics
From other Countries.

The bureau Of the mint and the geo.
logical survey which are cooperating
in determining the annual production
of gold and silver in the United States,
have agreed upon tabulated state
ment of the output of states and terri
tories for the calendar year 1905.
The most important changes in gold
production are shown by Alaska,
which advances from $9,160,500 in 1904
to $14,925,6 900 in 1905. Colorado shows
an increase from $24,385, 800 in 1904 to
$25, 7O1, 100 in 1905, due to freedom
from labor troubles. Nevada shows a
gain from $4,307,S0O in 1904 to $685.
100 in 1905, and a gain in silver from
2,695,100 to 5,S63,500 ounces.
The director Of the mint says that
Nevada will show for 1906 much
larger gain in both gold and silver
and that the state will likely make a
contest for first place as a producer
of the various previous metal. The to-
tai output Of silver is about 100000
ounces under that of the previous
year, the three heaviest producers,
Montana, Colorado and Utah, showing
a decline. Washington produced $780,
600 gold and 119400 ounces of silver.
Idaho produced $1,075,600 gold and g.
125,600 ounces of silver. Oregon's gold
output was $1,244, 900 and Montana pro-
duced s4,SS9,3OO gold and 5,S63,500
ounces silver.
The total number of ounces of gold
produced was 4,265,742, and the COM
mercial value of the silver produced
was $34,221, 976.
The director of the mint has also
completed compilation of returns
upon the production of gold and silver
in the world for the calendar year
1905.
The totals are $376.2S9, 200 gold and
157, 339,362 ounces of silver
Commenting on these figures, the di-
rector says:
The total figures compare with q
gold output of $346, 200 in 1904, and
a silver output of 16S,390,238 fine
ounces. The important gains in gold
production were $7716,OO0 by the Unit
ed States, S27.415,200 by Africa and
$2,655,900 by Mexico. Losses in gold
production were s1,913,000 by Canada
$1,S40,800 by Australasia, $2,511 400 by
Russia. All of the principal silver-pro
ducing countries showed falling of
in the output OF that metal compared
with the previous year, the United
States of 100000 ounces, Mexico Of
6,156,000 ounces, Australasia 100000
ounces, South America of 1,742,00C
ounces and Japan of nearly 100000
ounces. The average value of silver
in New York, based on London prices
converted at the current rates of ex
change, was 81 cents per fine ounce
which may be compared with So cents
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and 5.
cents for 1902, the lowest years price
on record
The United States produced 1881
700 gold and 6,101 900 ounces silver.
Mexico produced $15,261, 200 golt
and 54,652,S92 ounces silver
Canada produced s14,486,S00 golt
and S5,974,S75 ounces silver.
Africa produced $113,329,100 gol'
and 619,620 ounces silver.

The Massachusetts State crop report
contains an article by Prof b. S. Cooley
on Some Causes Affecting the Profits
Of Dairying." On the subject of feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac-
tice is to purchase only feeds rich in
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at loss. The point Of highest profit
in feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances of the
feeder.

Easy Way to Get Rid of stump..

A method Of getting rid Of stumps
which has been highly recommended
and which, to be effective, should be
done now, is as follows: Bore a hole
one or two inches In diameter and
about eighteen inches deep into the
center of the stump. Then put into
this hole one or two ounces of salt
peter. Fill the hole with water and
plug it up. In the spring take out
the plug. pour in about one-half gal
lon of kerosene oil and light it. The
stump will smolder away to the very
extremities Of the roots, leaving moth
ing but the ashes.-Farming.
