Pekin. China. April 1S.--Intervention

believed to be imminent nv government

outbreak i'm Changsha
Advices from there tonight say the
arrival of British gungoat and the
news that three other British warships.
an American cruiser, the Cleveland and
one French gunboat are on their way
to the scene of the trouble, have had
a temporarily quleting effect on the
natives. The uprising is so widespread
however that the government fears al
ready other outrages will be committed
that will lead to foreign occupation Of
the city.
-Four foreign missions have been de-
stroyed. the latest word being that the
Yale mission, maintained by Yale uni
versity, was burned today. The mission
had property valued at over 100000.
They were maintained by England and
America. These nations will demand
fun Indemnity
The settlement Of this indemnity is
likely to prove delicate matter of
diplomacy, although China is in no po-
sition to resist a determined demand
The gunboats and the cruiser Cleve-
land are under focred steam and will
all be on the scene, or near enough to
make their presence felt, by tomorrow.
The boats all have their torpedo nets
spread, fearing mines in the Slang

foreign powers it might take the neces-
sary steps to avoid such a display OF
naval force.

Refugees Reach Hankow.

Hankow. northwest of Shangsha, is
filled with refugees from the rioting
city. Most of them fed, but few Of
their possessions. practically all of their
belongings have been lost in the fire
that destroyed the mission buildings.
Those who are reported as having
taken refuge i'm Hankow are w. III.

Alexander, C. ID. Little, C. Cowling.
w. C.Oakes, DR.. f. A. Kellar and wife,
Miss Tilley the sister of Mrs. Kellar;
Brownell Gage and wife, r. II. Hume
and wife, Mrs. Lawrence Thurston and
William J. Hail.
In addition, about 100 subordinate
workers and nurses are among the
refugees.
The Yale mission, of which DIR. KEEL
lar was the head, was the last one at
tackled by the mobs Fortunately the
occupants of the mission, realizing the
imminence of attacks, fed in time to
escape personal injury.
Changsha is a city Of over 300, 900
population and the scene that accom-
panied the destruction of the property
Of the foreigners was such that only
one who has seen an infuriated Chinese
mob at work can appreciate.
Several of the missionaries had mar
row escapes and got away only through
the Intervention of few friendly ma
tives. who shielded them in their homes
until darkness permitted escape.

who says:
The improved planters of today open
the furrow, drop the seed, cover it,
firm the dirt over the seed and mark
the next furrow. Such a planter is
drawn by two horses. The writer
plants the potatoes about two or two
and one-half inches below the surface
of the soil. Experiments with potatoes
planted in rows all the way from thir-
ty-six to forty-two inches apart indi-
cate that the best distance depends
upon the seasonal conditions and type
of SOIL 1t is a problem for each grow
er to solve for himself. The distance
apart the potatoes should be planted
in the row also depends so much upon
the variety, the fertility of the soil.
the availability of water. etc. that
each farmer must determine this from
his own experience. | plant them
eight inches apart in rows thirty-six
inches apart. This gives the largest
tonnage of potatoes of desirable size.
The writer's experience has been that |
seed of large size two to six ounces) |
produce strong, vigorous shoots, as
they furnish an ample supply of plant
food to sustain a strong and vigorous
growth until the feeder roots can take
up the food from the soil.
During the last two years the best
results were obtained from planting
medium sized whole seed While the
cost of the seed has been considerably
greater. the stand has been approxi-
mately perfect. Experience has prov
ed that from one or two eyes only are
sprouts developed in uncut seed. The
seed end furnishes a strong vine The
other eyes usually remain dormant.
One OF the greatest advantages of
using whole seed is the protection
from disease which may be present in
the soil and which may attack the
more tender exposed parts Of the cut
seed.

other made only 6S tons. There are
several points to be thought of here
first, that fertilizers of good grade
pay well the first year, and then some
pay for the second year.
If this is so with millet, would it not
be so with grain seeded with grass and
clover? That milet is a profitable
crop both for soiling and cured Is ap-
parent when seven and One-haf tons
cured fodder can be secured per acre.
As millet contains only about 2 per
cent of protein, it should be fed in con-
nectlon with alfalfa or clover hay. If
these cannot be obtained the ration
should be balanced with such feeds as
ollmeal, cottonseed meal or the better
grades of gluten feed.
Il have used millet for some years
with dairy cows and young stock"
says the farmer who made this fertiliz-
ing experiment, land think very high
ly Of it. 1t is said to be injurious to
horses through the effect it has on
the kidneys. With the hay crop as
light as it has been for two years, as
The dry season has been very hard on
new seeding, it will surely pay our
farmers to give more attention to the
nillets. Any one of the different kinds /.
