Will Benefit Homesteaders.

A Washington dispatch says home
stead entrymen who had made filings
prior to June 6, 1912, the date of the
en- actment of the three'year homestead
law, but who have not yet made final
proof, will find themselves amply pro.
tected by the Borah amendment to the
sundry civil bill, adopted in the last
days of the session. But for this
amendment, many of these entrymen
might have been ruled out by the in
terror department., and lost their lands
through no real fault of their own.
The Borah amendment guarantees a
patent to every such homesteader who
can show good faith and compliance
with either of the homestead laws, old
or new.
1t will be remembered that the three.
year homestead bill was In dispute
between senate and house for q long
time, owing to objections raised by the
secretary OF the interior, and when the
bill was finally brought in for final
adoption an error crept in and escaped
the eye of Senator Borah and others
interested Ia the measure. The inter-
Tor department was very quick to sieze
upon this error. and ruled that under
the bill entrymen who fled prior to
the passage of the three year Law
would be obliged to make proof under
the new law unless, prior to October 4,
they expressed in writing . preference
to perfect title under the old fve-yea'
law.

Growing Winter Wheat.

In a bulletin upon growing winter
wheat in the northwest, Professor
Thomas Shaw says it is important
that winter wheat shall be planted
early. In North Dakota and in the
northern half of Montana it should be
sown early, IS early as August, and
the fret halt of August would prob
ably be safer than the second half.
The object in sowing early Ia to have
the crop 60 into winter in a strong
condition. The variety to SOW 10 that
known as Turkey Red. On we'll pre-
pared land three pecks per acre will
be enough to SOW in Montana and
four pecks in Dakota, which in many
places has q little more rain than
Montana. The crop should invari.
ably be sown with the grain drill.
Winter wheat should not be pastur-
ed in northern areas. When it is
sown in orn stalks, the temptation is
strong to allow stock to Craze upoa
the stake. This should not be
done. In every instance last winter,
where cattle and horses were allowed
to Craze upon our winter wheat, even
when the ground was frozen, the crop
was completely destroyed. In every
instance in which we sowed 1t without
protection in North Dakota 1t failed.
In every instance where we sowed it in
corn stalks and the stalks we're not
disturbed, We got q fine crop.

NEGROES FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Rebels skirmish with Hurdles and
 Burn Property.

Havana-There is no room for doubt of the existence Of negro con spiracy extending to all provinces of the island, with the apparent inten- tien of taking up arms against the Government. The negroes appear to have been reused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political rewards for services ren- dered in the war of independence. in which they constituted a great major fly of the Cuban forces.
 The situation was considered suffi- ciently grave for the Government to send 1,200 cavalry and infantry with field and machine guns from Camp Co- lumbia, bound for santa Clara and Ori- ente provinces Near Sagua la Grande a squad of rurales had an engagement with an armed band of negroes. One of the guard was killed, and the ne groes made their escape.
