CANADA WANTS HER FREEDOM Bailment Fnvming Independent Gov eminent la Spreading. ' Montreal, Deo. 14. The strong uu derourrcint of sentiment throughout Canada favorable to separation from Ureal Britalu and the establishment of ' an independent Canadian repnblio on this continent has begun to take tin gible sh.pe. The organization of in dependence- clubs has been in active progress daring the past fire or six months and convention has been called to meet in this city in March next, with the object of federating all groups and dabs of the dominion. Until then the obief work will be to groop individuals favoring the inde pendence movement throughout Can ada; that is, to effect the oo-operation of all those who favor national Inde pendence by paoiflo means, j v ""' The Associated Press correspondent is informed that the movemrnt is gain ing ground rapidly in the rural dis tricts, especially in Port Keuf, Drum mond, Uranby and the most remote districts. Two organisers are travel lug in the interest of Canadian inde pendence clubs throughout Canadian centers in the United States and in the eastern townships, where the idea seems to meet with great favor. An important meeting was held last night in Montreal. The meeting was teoret, bnt the Associated Press obtain ed a copy of the by-laws and constitu tion which were adopted. The pre amble, which is perhaps the most im portant part of the document, reads as follows: "This association shall be known as the Independence Club of Canada, and shall be composed of all persons desir ous of obtaining political liberty and the independence of Canada. "Its objects shall be: "First The study of the Canadian people and of the resources of the ooun try. "Second The encouragement of a true national spirit amongst the popu lation.

Qypsey, the fa mous old circus elephant which killed fonr keepers, is soon to auSer for bei terrible past at the hands of the exe cutioner. The moDster, which has for the last several years been running the Harris Nickel-Plate circus to suit her self, will be wiped off the earth with a stroke of lightning Mr. Harris be' lievea that Qypsey will be of more use to humanity when made into soap, so the animal will be electrocuted at Tat- tersail's as soon as a date can be de cided upon. Gypsey ia well known all over the United States, and is considered the moat dangerous elephant in captivity. She has toured the country with the Harris combinations for ten years and is at present at tbe winter quarters of the circus. Last winter the animal es caped from its home and caused great excitement on the West Side by run ning through the streets, damaging everything she came in contact with. Before she was captured Frank Scott, her keeper, was killed, tbe elephant stepping on him and crushing out his life. Sinoe then (be baa had a dozen keepers. The men stay week and re sign rather than risk their lives in car ing for tbe animal. Yesterday the last man in charge of Qypsey threw np hit job and tbe big circus man, who is unable to find another keeper, has been poking food into the animal with olothes pole. Tiring of this, be has decided to turn Qypsey over to science and lightning. Manager 'Willis, of the Harris show, applied yesterday to tbe collector for permit to electrocute the brute, providing the city authorities thought there was enough electricity in the sky. If there is not, he declares be will tap all the trolley wires in tbe ; oity and send her to her fathers on the ', rapid-transit plan. V j i ' THE SULTAN IS MAD.

'The cbnptct maintain tbe choir of St. Peter's, body of musicians quite Independent ol the so-called "Pope's choir," which Is properly termed the "choir of the 81s tlno Chupcl." and which la paid by ths Pope. ' - i No musical Instruments are ever used In the Slsttne. In tbe choir, on the con trary, there are two large organs. Ths one on the west side is employed on all ordinary occasions; It Is over two hun dred years old, aud la tuned nbout two whole tone below the modern pitch. It Is so worn out that au oi-gnu-bulldcr It in attendance during every service to make repairs at a moment's notice. The bellow leak, the stops stick,, soma notes have a chronic tendency to "cy pher,", and the pedal "trackers" un hook themselves unexpectedly. But ths canous would certainly not think of building a new organ. Should they erer do so, and tune th Instrument to the modern pitch, thf consternation of the singers would bs great; for the music Is all written foi the existing organ, and could not b performed two notes higher, uot to men tlon the confusion that would aria where all the music ia auug at eight This Is A fact not generally known, but worthy of notice. The music sung In St. Peter', aud, indeed, lu moat Roman churches. 1 never rehearsed or prao tlced. - The music Itself is entirely I manuscript, and la the property of ths choirmaster, or, as ia the case in St. Pe ter's, of- the chapter, and there Is nc copyngnt m it oevona tms rnct or ac tual possession, protected by the simp It plan of never allowing any musician U bare his part In his band except while he ia actually performing it. In the course of a year the same piece. may be sung several times, and tht old choristers may become acquainted with a good deal of the music tn this way, but never otherwise. Moxart ii reported to bave learned AUegri's Mis erere by ear, and to bave written It down from memory. Tbe other fauioui Misereres, wblch are now published. were pirated In a similar way. Thi choirmaster of that day was very ua popular. Some of tbe leading slngen who had sung the Misereres during many years In succession, and had thm learned their several parts, met aud put together what they knew Into whole, which was at once published, U the no small annoyance and discomfi ture of their enemy. But much good music Is quite beyond the reach of tb public Palestrlna'a best motets, airs bj Alessandro Stradella, tbe famous hymn of Raiuiondi, In short, a great muslcaj library, an archlvlo, as the Romans call such a collection, all of which Is practi cally lost to the world. It hi wonderful that under such cir cumstances the eholr of Bt reter'i should obtain even such creditable re sults. At a moment's notice an organ ist and about a hundred singers an called upon to execute a florid piece ol muaic which many of them have nerei seen or heard; the accompaniment it played at sight from a mere figured bass, on A tumble-down Instrument twe honored years old, and tbe singers, bolt the soloists and the chorus, sing from .thumbed bit of manuscript parts writ ten in old-fasbloned character on pa per often green with age. No one bat ever denied the extraordinary musical facility of Italians, but If the genera! musloal world knew how Italian cburck music is performed It would be verj much astonished. It Is no wonder that sucb music ll sometimes bad. But sometime It U very good; for there are splendid voleci among the singers and tbe Maestro Benzl, tbe chief organist, is a man ol real talent as well as of amazing facil ity. Ills modernizing influence is coun terbalanced by that of the old choir master, Maestro MeluzzI, a flrst-rat musician, who would not for bis lift cbange a balr of tbe old-fashioned tra ditions. Yet there are moments, on certain days, wben the effect of the great old organ, with the rich voices blending in some good harmony, is very solemn and stirring. The outward per uastve force of religion lies lsrgely In Its music, and the religions that havs no songs make few tury. proselytes.

THE fimt Method of Preeervlnst Fodder Corn-How to Relieve Choked Cattle -Late Maturing Potatoes Are Moat Productive, Trcaervlng Corn Fodder A report from the Vermont Agricul tural Experiment Station says for two years past experiments were conduct ed to determine the best method of pre serving the corn plant for winter use. Four methods were tried. First, whole eusllaire was made by running the new ly cut corn through a cutter, reducing It to one-half luch lengths, then putting Into the silo. Seeoiid. the ears were husked, cribbed, dried, ground, cob and all, and fed In connection with tho stalks, which had beou previously cut and made Into ensilage; tlls wa called stover ensilage and meal. Third, tho fodttor was preserved lu large shocks, and before feeding was run through tt cutter, ear aud all. and cut Into one half Inch lengths, fourth, the corn was husked from tho fodder, ground with the cob aud fed with the stover. after It had been run through tbe cut- ter as needed from time to time. Ssmoles front the material preservea .iiwu. n,..ii,n.i. were carefully analysed, and the fodder was too. to l.ti-.l nf fourteen mllcU cows. It was fouud that each of the methods pre served about four-fifths of the dry mat ter harvested, the loss from each Ix-lug practically the same In quality and lu character. , The fodders kept in the shock lost more and more dry dry mat ter aa the winter progressed. The ears in the silo durlug the last test lost more of their food value than those preserved lu any other way, this being the reserve of a previous test Tho relative cost of placing the same amount of dry matter in the maugor was greatly tn favor of whole ensilage. Time and money spent In busking and grinding the ears were wasted, as bet ter results were obtained when tho ears were left on the stalk. The en silages were relished much better by the cows and they do better upon them. Farm News. Relieving t boked Cattle. , "I have never knowu my method of relieving ehoked cattle," says a writer in an English farm paper, "to fall In giving Instant relief. 1 cut a stick about four feet long and oue-balf an Inch through at the large end. with prongs like fork tines about one luch long nt the small end. The stick wants to be straight and smooth. I generally cut a small gray blrcb. Then wind the prongai with yarn until well covered and sew over and through this a plec" of cotton cloth, making a ball some luches In di ameter securely fastened to the small end of the stick. Grease the ball well with lard, insert In the animal's throat. and push It down the length of the stick it need be. or until the sulwtunce Is forced into the stomach. Then wlt.li- draw the stick and the creature will be relieved. I have been called in the nliiht to co four miles to relieve an nnl- mal tbat bad ehoked for hours.

There Is a good deal of loss In matketing early varieties, espe cially those dug while their skin Is still tender, and Is broken by being rubbed against. In hot weather such potatoes rot easily, and though the price Is high er there is not no great profit as for the more productive later crop that can usually be marketed without Injury. Early potatoes do not generally pro duce heavily. Hot, dry weather short ens the crop, while with late potatoes planted late much of the growth of the tubers Is made after the heated term has passed. fe't Deetroye Heede. Wherever salt Is sown so that It comes In contact with germinating seeds It will rot and destroy them. The first germ of seeds Is very tender, and as It starts out the seed gives out some mois ture which dissolves the salt. The ef fect of very small quantities-of salt is to decompose vegetation of all kinds. A large amount might pickle It and prevent, decomposition. But either small or large, It is destructive of the germs of vegetable life. But If there is a great deal of rainfall the salt 1 dis sipated, and so mixed with surround ing soil that little Injury to the seed is produced.

But wherever the field was planted with either corn or potatoes the blighting effects of tbe tree snppln? the soil of moisture were to be seen as far either way aa It root, extended.

Before the ground freezes see that good drainage Is provided around the stables and sheds, the fruit and vegeta ble pits and lu the orchard. , Turkey raising Is becoming more prof Itable and popular. Like sheep, they grow and fatten In the fields on what would be otherwise lost; besides, their eating of iUBect by the million Is a benefit to the crops. A good crop of turkeys brings a fine Income for a little expense. Their long leg enable them to move more easily anywhere. The fall Is the time 'to ditch and till tbe land for drainage, as the work qau be then done at lea cost than at any other period of the year. Lands In the West that have been tilled have gained sufficiently In one year, by the In creased yield per acre, to more than pay the cost of drainage. Every year that wet land Is left undralned Is a loss ot Just o much time that could be gained by drainage. An orcbardlst says: . Peach trees will not bear choice fruit when growing In sod.
