RIOTING IS RESUMED.
When the Company Attempts to Oper-
ate Street Cars in Bogota.

Bogota. Colombia, March 17.-An
attempt to renew the street railway
service has caused serious street riot
ing. Thus far the mob has respected
the American legation which is under
police guard All Colombians en-
ployed by the American company own
ing the railway system are in serious
danger.
The Bogota city railway company is
composed of Americans who received
a concession from former President
Reyes. The granting of the conces-
sion proved unpopular and on March
a mob attacked the cars of the COM
pany and eventually forced a suspen-
sion of traffic. At the same time the
American legation was stoned.
Through the Intervention of American
Minister Northcott the violence ceased
for time, but was renewed when the
company sought to restore its service.
The homes of the Colombians en-
ployed by the company and the offices
in which some of them have head
quarters were stoned and much dam
age done.
The authorities have acted ener-
getically in protecting the American
legation and private property which
thus far have not been molested by the
rioters.

Hogs and Fences,

Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will
discourage almost any farmer who has
such a combination. With animals
that will multiply as rapidly as pigs
1t seems almost shame to see a man
breeding old scrub sows to some boar
that has no pride Of ancestry or hope
Of posterity. Yet this is exactly the
course that about half Of the farmers
are following, and wondering why
feeding hogs is not paying substantial
profits. Never get the idea In your
heads that breeding from young and
immature breeding stock encourages
early maturity in the progeny. Good,
strong, well-developed pigs from ma.
ture sires and dams will make better
growth and more economical gains
than the understood runts that result
from breeding immature sows to some
6-months-old boar pig.

The Farmers Club of the American
Institute has issued the following
rules for forecasting the weather:
1. The wind never blows unless
rain or snow IL falling within 100
miles Of you.
2. When cirrus clouds are rapidly
moving from the north or northeast
there will be rain inside Of twenty
four hours, no matter how cold 1t 10.
8. Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather to a re-
gion where a storm is forming.
4. When the temperature suddenly
falls there is a storm forming south OF
you.
5. When the temperature suddenly
rises there is storm forming north of
you.
6. Cirrus clouds always move from
a region where storm is in progress
to a region of fair weather.
Z. When cirrus clouds are rapidly
moving from the south or southeast
there will be a cold rainstorm on the
morrow. If 1t is in summer; II It is In
winter. there will be snowstorm.
8. Whenever heavy, white frost oc.
ours a storm is forming within 1000
miles north or northeast of you.

Gle around a storm, and when 1t blows
from the north the heaviest rain is
east of you; If 1t blows from the south

Farming Possibilities.

At the average rate of twenty bush
els of wheat per acre (Which is much
less than the average yield of either
Germany or England), the State of I'LL
nois, with a few Indiana counties
thrown in for good measure, cultivated
exclusively to wheat, would produce
annually more Of this product than
does the entire country. If Ohio and
Iowa's 1874 square miles Of improved
land Census 1900, with a 1858
square mile strip of Kansas, should
be planted in corn, there would be
harvested, with an acreage yield OF
fifty bushels, S,022,144,0OO bushels, an
amount practically equal to the total
1905 corn crop of the United States
Canada and Mexico.
With the 10,615,644 acres OF
Georgia's improved land producing q
bale of cotton per acre, the yield would
amount to nearly is much as the total
annual cotton crop of the country; and
yet large part Of the 15,776,413 acres
of so-called "unimproved farm land
in Georgia can be made to produce as
we'll as the best land In the State,

Feeding SiIaxe,

Quite number of practical feeders
have adopted the silage method. One
man in particular having a large stock
farm in Ohio puts up annually be-
eee= $500 and 5000 tons Of corn and
eowpea silage. which he feeds to his
beef cattle. A 1,e00-pound steer will
usually consume about 80 pounds Of
silage per day. When fed a ration Of
this kind, some heterogeneous food
should be added, such as oil meal, cot
tonseed meal or other concentrated
products found on the market. The
feeder from Ohio referred to feeds on
an average about s pounds of cotton
seed meal per day to his steers and
about 5 pounds Of clover hay, in addi-
ton to the so pounds Of silage. For
beef cattle 1t Is usually considered ad-
visable to allow the crop to mature
before cutting. and also to plant 1t the
same as one plants for grain produc-
ton. The cattle feeder is not partic-
ularly anxious to obtain a large
amount of forage, but he is more anx-
ious to get as much corn as possible
A crop of corn that will produce about
so bushels per acre will make from
eight to nine tons of silage planted In
the usual way and harvested when
mature. 1t is stated by feeders who
are using silage. and similar reports
have come from stations, that cattle
fed on this produce gcour less than
when fed on corn and dry roughage.
