' 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. "Thild To obtain the liberty and
independence of Canada by legitimate
and paoi&o means."

Chicago, Deo. 14. 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 ',

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.
