TO VOTE AS A UNIT.
-va,. vork Democrats Send Uninstruct-
ed Delegation to Baltimore.

New York. April ia delegation OF
ninety members uninstructed for any
presidential candidate, but bound by
the unit rule, was chosen to represent
New York state at the Democratic ma
fional convention in Baltimore at the
convention of the Democratic party in
this state.
The proceedings We're marked by
complete harmony.
The principal plank of the platform
and the leading theme of the speech OF
CONGRESSMAN John J. Fitzgerald OF
Kings county, the permanent chairman,
was the revision of the tariff. The plat
form denounced the action of President
Taft in vetoing the tariff bills last Au-
gust and charged the president and the
Republican party with gross deceit of
the people in the promising of down
ward revision of the Tariff.
The speech of Secretary Mour Van
Santvoord, legal adviser of Governor
Dix and the temporary chairman of the
convention was a warm defense of the
state administration and Of Governor
Dix.
The delegates at large, who, with the
Sc congressional district delegates will
go to Baltimore, are Governor John A.
Dix United States Senator James A.
O'Gorman; Alton B. Parker and Charles
f Murphy leader of Tammany Hall
The platform was adopted without
any speeches being made for or against
it and without one vote in opposition.

for failure to obey it to the full
shall forfeit his pay and allowances.
Consequently every officer who has
not served at least two of the last six
years in command of troops will have
to return to his regiment before De-

the law officers of the war department
that about third more of the officers
on detached service will have to be
removed within six months A large
number of officers on detached duty
in Washington are caught pretty Sc
verely by this order.
1t is said that there are officers who
have not been with their commands
for years, as they have had pull
enough to keep them in easy jobs here
in Washington, where they can do
their stunts and not half try, and fill

GROW SOY BEAN FOR s'LAGE
Combined With Corn Makes Better
Balanced Than Latter Alone
May Be Grown in Mixture.

A number OF farmers have been
successful in growing soy beans for
silage, supplementing corn silage. The
advantage Of such a combination lies
in the fact that soy beans are nitro
gen gatherers and hence are richer
in nitrogen than corn. A combination
of corn and soy bean silage therefore
makes a more evenly balanced feed
than corn silage alone. 1t should not
be inferred that mixture Of the two
crops will make 1t unnecessary or I'M
profitable to feed grain in the ration:
but in practice 1t has been found pos
sible to reduce the amount of grain
fed to dairy cows and maintain the
milk flow If q portion OF the ensilage
consists OF soy bean fodder. The Ci-
feasibility Of coy beans compares IA
vorably with that of alfalfa and Glow
er. Ensilage made from corn, and sou;
beans has been found more digestibie
than that made from Dent corn alone.
The corn and soy beans may be
grown for silage separately, or in mix
ture. Many farmers follow and advo-
cate the latter practice, but it has
been found, at the Cornell experiment:
station, that the beans are apt to be
crowded out in the competition with
corn when the two are grown tcgetn-

Postal Deposit Savings Show Average of $50

POSTMASTER General Frank H.
4 Hitchcock made public the other
day the latest available figures show
ing that the deposits in postal savings
repositories have now reached the
sum of $28,0OO,oO0. The system was
inaugurated January 3, 1911, but
most of the deposits have been made
within the last year.
The deposits represent $4,000 indi-
viduals, making an average OF $86 per
depositor. The system is now operat-
ed in 12,773 postoffices, in every one
OF the forty-eight states, including 644
branch postoffices.
According to the figures compiled
by the controller of the currency the
total amount of the deposits in the
savings banks of the country in 1911
was $4,212,5S3, 59S. This amount was
deposited in 1884 banks by 1894 SAT
individual depositors, and the average
savings bank account for each depos-
itor was S43O.0? Comparison of these
statistics shows that the average
amount held by each savings bank
depositor was about five times the av-
erage amount held by each postal saw
ings bank depositor.
According to the report of the con-
troller OF the currency, the postal saw
