ready minated some important in
forests are opposed to an advance to
say nothing of the generality of spin
ners. But the South is evidently in
funds and independent. 1t has already
marketed about $500, 900 bales of cot
ton it is computed, and probably get
something like 5000. 900, 600 for it.
Three years g the cotton crop Of
the South sold for SIG, 0OO, 900 and
although the present yield is believed
by many to be small. prices hav
risen to such a point that it need oc-
casion little surprise if the yield
should sell at we'll over $500, 100000
this year. The bull side in cotton is
still the popular one.

Cutting Corn Fodder Robs Soil.

There is much said now about the
value of corn fodder by those who
advocate the use of the silO. 1t is
true tina the corn plant at maturity,
exclusive of the ear, contains much
VALUABLE feed if properly harvested
and stored.
Yet experienced ones say that there
are few ways more quickly killing the
soil than to grow corn and remove all
the crop by cutting the fodder.
1t is good farm practice to cut up
the corr and feed it on the place, pro-
vided hat land from which it is cut
is Immediately to restore
the plant food elements taken from
it by the crop.
When no equivalent is returned the
soil is left sadly depleted of it's bal
anced chemical store of life-producins
elements.
The ear of corn, being largely starch
and composed of water and carbon
dioxide, free compounds of the atmos-
phere. does not remove much fertility
from the soil. But the entire corn
plant contains nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorus which the soil can III
spare.
These cornstalks should be allowed
to remain in the field and be ploWed
under the following season to return
these vital elements and form soil hui
mus.

New York, Oct. 15.-Prices of cot

States have whipped it into greater

On~e-eighth of a cent and some other

quotations at Boston and PhiIadel-

on the otter hand that the receipts
at the ports continue heavy. There is
a powerful incentive to market cot
bale higher than they were a yea
ago. Some advices from the South
say that damage by frost has been ex-
aggerated. Spot sales in Liverpool
have on the whole decreased. Bears
insist that consumption will be greatly
reduced by existing prices and that
the crop is being under estimated and
speculation unwisely stimulated. The
New York stock is steadily gaining.
The short interest here has been
largely reduced of late and it is be-
Iieved that certain operators who have
vigorously attacked the market from

months are only awaiting an oppor-

Many m have d handy device
for binding corn fodder as It ls
husked from the shock in the field.
l. consists of a small wooden rack
for holding the fodder and a hand
lever for pressing it down for tying.
A good armful of fodder is placed in
fhis rack. the lever pressed down and
caught. and the bundle tied with
binding Irvine. These bundles, with
all ears OF corn removed, are light
and easy to handle. They may be
placed in the aymoW or other shell
ter and will keep perfectly for many
months. since the absence of corn
on them does not attract rats and
mice. This husking, bundling and
storing should be done as early as
possible, as the fodder will not have
LOST any of it's feeding value.

SHE WANTS NO SCREEN.
Eusapia Palladino Rejects Device
Which Would Tend to Prevent
Fraud.

NEW YORK, Nov. .-Hereward Car
rington, the manager of Signora Eusapia
Palladino, the Italian medium, admits the
purchase of luminous, paint by his di-
rection. He says:
1T is our intention to dip some strips
of linen in this paint, then sew the
strips on Sgnora Palladinos sleeves
Every movement of her hands and arms
can then be seen. Before deciding to
do this, ! consulted Harry, Kellar, the
to detect fraud and trickery, and Kellar
said it would be good thing to use"
w. s. Davis, secretary of the Metro
politan Psychical society, proposed that
in order to obviate suspicion of fraud on
the part of tile medium q, thin screen of
cheese cloth mesquite netting be placed
between her and the table which the
spirits are supposed to tip and to rap.
The signorais- management, however, has
refused the request.
Such simple test" Mr.. Davis, said,
would show conclusively whether she
causes the deviation of the table through
mechanical means or by the physical
fluid which she says, emanates from
her"
The proposed test has been. suggested
strongly by Prof. j. II. Myslop. but he
has remained lukewarm to the idea. and
now Mr.. Davis is trying to interest Prof
James, of Harvard in it.
Mr. Davis believes that the, apparent
phenomenon of deviation is produced by
palladino either through wire fastened
to some part of her arm or in contact
with rho abdominal muscles.

Daring Hold-up of Minnesota Bank Ends
in Tragedy at Railroad
Bridge

BEMIDJI, MINI, Nov 26.-One rob.
Smith was instantly killed, and Deputy
Sheriff Andrew johnson was fatally
shot today in a gun fight between two
robbers who had blown a safe in the
village of Puposky, seventeen miles
northwest of here. Word was received
here from Puposky that the two rob
bers had blown a safe in the village and
were going towards Bemidji on a railway
speeder.
Sheriff Hazen, Deputy Sheriff Johnson
and Policeman Allen Benner went to
the Great Northern bridge, a mile west
of Bemidji, to watch for them. The
two robbers dismounted from the speed
err about 100 feet from the bridge and
walked toward Officers Hazen and
Johnson, who were concealed at the
south end Of the bridge while Policeman
Benner was watching at the north end
When the men had approached with
in 10 feet of johnson he ordered them
to halt, but receiving a rifle ball in his
left lung for an answer. The other rob,
Der shot at Sheriff Iazen but missed
Johnson dropped unconscious. Officer
Benner called to Hazen and johnson to
lie low and began to shoot. The robbers
started back up the track and in the
darkness caused by fog it required four
shots from Benncr's rifle before one of
the robbers pitched forward. Later en-
animation showed that he had been shot
through the head. The other robber es-
capped but posse of officers is search
ing the country for him.
