AGMCULTUJIAL NEWS THINGS PERTAJNiNO TO FARM AND HOME. THE to Eradicate Tuberculoal from the Herd-A Trial of Alaike Clover la Urired-Pure Water for Milch Co a - Uo to Keep Froat from Cellar. Tuberculoid Ant mala. Serious attempts have been made In certain parts of the country to eradi cate the disease by destroying all re acting animals. "Such a course is un doubtedly too drastic, and it has met with perBlsteut opposition. It is a ques tion whether such methods are war ranted or not Certainly, such a course is sure to defeat the very end desired, 1. e., the co-operation of all In eradi cating the disease. There is nothing that would be more beneficial to the stock Interests of the country than the widespread application of the test, but It is hardly possible to hope for such an extension where such severe measures are applied.- From experiments already made un der different auspices It Is evident that thfr progress of the disease can be stopped by the Isolation of all reacting animals. The least affected animals can, with care, be used for breeding purposes, and if the calves are sep arated at birth and fed on boiled or pas teurised milk. It la possible, within a relatively short time, to build up a strictly healthy herd from affected par ents. Wisconsin Agriculturist The) Alaike Clorer. This clover resembles the large red clover, except the stem Is much finer, though It srows to about the same height It makes an excellent hay, which Is much relished by all kinds of . stock. We were led to try alslke or Swedish clorer by Allen, the author of the American Farm Book, and, after a trlarof It for some years, would strong ly advise anyone wanting a good feed ing clover to try it. - It should be sown on high, dry, well-drained sod. It re quires the same care and cultivation as red clover. It may be sown either with timothy or with red clover. A good mixture for one acre Is three quarts of alsike clover seed; four quarts of red clover seed, and six quarts of timothy clover seed. Sow the timothy in the fall and the clovers the la:t of Febru ary. The seed is made in the first crop; the second crop may be pastured. It Is a very fragrant clover, the heads being full of sweet juice. It makes a fine bee food. The American. Pare Water for Milch Cows. . Experience has shown that water .which looks pure and clear may have In it the germs of the worst diseases, and if so there is possibility that these may go Into the milk. On the other band, water that looks mnddy from contact with soil may be entirely free from any germs that are Injurious, The danger from germs in milk, we believe, has been much exaggerated. The safe way Is to keep cows from drinking any water where there Is a possibility that It has been Infected with germs of typhoid fever or diph theria. It Is the milk producer's Inter est to strictly guard against any chance of Infection, as wherever such a case occurs It Is sure to spread un reasonable fears and Injure his busi ness. Exchange. ' - . . . Keeping Froat from Cellars. The unsightly banks of horse manure piled against the basement walls of farm houses are not needed to keep out frost. They are worse than unsightly, for the odor from decaying manure affects a sense more sensitive than si: lit. If a second wall of brick or sione is laid two inches from the cellar wall, and its top tightly Joined to the building above, this dead air space will keep out frost better than will a three foot bank of horse manure. Some householders make the protection in side with a dead air space enclosed with matched boards, or, better still, covered with paper siding, which is better than boards for , securing warmth to any building. Growing Beet Seed. Beet seed Is so easily grown that It Is always very cheap. let we believe In farmers growing their own beet seed, provided they will grow the best. It Is not the beet that produces the most seed that Is best for planting. If btets, or any other root for that matter, are planted so early In spring that they grow tough and stringy roots, such roots will produce a great amount of seed, but it will produce If sown at any time plants that are like Its parent. It Is thus that roots degenerate Into some thing like thei)r original wild condition. A moderate-sized root grown quickly after midsummer, and In very rich ground, will be tender and good until late in the Bpring. Buch a root will not produce as much seed as a tough, stringy one, but Its seed will bring much more satisfactory crops. Amer ican Cultivator. Salt as an Insecticide. The use of salt as an insecticide, or vermin destroyer, is not sufficiently known among the farming community. Many a farmer has lost dollars and dol lars, simply because he did not know what virtue there is In salt How many times has a farmer ploughed up acres of a crop attacked by some worm or caterpillar, re-sown the land, and all because he did not know that salt would have killed the worm and im proved his crop. Last year a case was reported through tke press, and vouch ed for as correct A farmer had a ten acre field of oats attacked by the army worm. The whole ten acres was In such a condition he decided to plow them all up and re-sow. 'An an experi ment be left an acre, to which he gave a dressing of 300 pounds of refuse salt Three days afterward he gave the same acre another 300 pounds of refuse . salt. The result traa that on that acre he had a good yield of oats, and had he only known he might have saved the whole ten acres. Salt for such pur uoses is simply invaluable. Storing Hoot Crop. The most serious obstacle in the way of growing root crops turnips, beets, carrots and parsnips Is the storage for winter. Potatoes must not be exposed to the light, and severe cold, with alter nate freezing and thawing, forces the fanner to provide the best storage facil ities In order to avoid loss. The old method of" storing in pits Is still fol lowed, bat there are yer'oda during the winter when the ground Is frozen as hard a Iron, and the pits cannot bo opened except with some risk. Tur nips can be grown at a small cost, but a bulky crop Is diffleult to store In a manner to have the roots always avail able. Farmers who have discarded all bruised or injured Bueciraens have been successful In storing carrots, parsnips, turnips and beets lu bins, using layers of clean, dry sand, followed by layers of the roots, the bins being In cellars or barns, by which arrangement they cau use them at any time, but the method will not answer where large fields of such crops are grown. Feeding Poultry. The farm Is the place on which to en. gage lu poultry for market and not the small lots or plots. It Is also proper to keep all kinds of poultry, and not bens only. As long as the farmereou tlnues to rely on grain he- will feed hi fowls at a cost much greater than is necessary, and by varying the food from grain to more bulky substances ho can grow a lurge Bhare of the feeding materials ou the farm and have his customers, therefore, right at his door in the form of the fowls. If a Dock of hens will thrive on grass during the summer season, and will keep In better condition thereon, as well as produce more eggs than on more expensive foods, why should he buy foods aud feed his poultry until he destroys the very condition he desires? Mirror and Farmer. Plowing Quack Grass Too Deeply, It Is possible to kill quack grass by what Is known by double plowing the land This is accomplished by running the plow In the furrow already made. and thus making a trench twelve or fourteen Inches deep. This Is repeated after each furrow Is turned, so that the surface soil Is entirely reversed and the subsoil takes Its place. The top furrow should go deeply enough to go below all the quack roots and turn them under the second furrow, wlil will require both a strong plow and an extra heavy team to tnrn on top of the other. But though quack grass may be killed by this heroic method, It will take several years of good cultivation to fit the subsoil thus turned up for growing good crops. Overdriving Heavy Horses. Heavy draught horses were not made for fast road travel, and though they often have the muscle to trot quite fast It Is always injurious io them to do so. There ought really to be on every farm teams for doing the heavy work and teams for doing the market ing and for pleasure driving. It makes a great difference when a heavy horse, weighing i,JSA) pounds or more, goes over a hard roadbed, as compared with a light road horse doing the same thing, No bone or muscle can be strong enough to endure the hard pounding which a heavy draughts borse makes In trotting. His feet will "go wrong," as horsemen say, and a horse with poor feet Is not much good anywhere. Preparing the Colts' Food. It Is welJ to prepare the colt's food so that It shall be palatable, nutritious and easily digested. A good means of doing this is to mix fine-cut clover hay along with oat chop, bran and oil cake; moisten this with hot water, covering np with a non-conducting material, and allow It to remain in this state for twelve hours, when It will be in A suita ble condition to feed. A small propor tion of wheat middlings will not be amiss In this mixture, not even a few boiled turnips or carrots, providing they are found to give appetising prop erties. Green corn and green clover prove very suitable fodder. Prairie Farmer. Shredded Ensilage, After shredding our ensilage for sev eral years, we tilled the silo oue year with cut ensilage and found it neces sary at once to brace all sides to keep it from bulging out thus proving that ensilage shredded exerts much less lat eral Bpace than that which is cut. This feature would probably not be consid ered of bo much Importance by those whose silos arat already constructed with reference to the use of cut en silage, but In case a new silo is to be put up it can undoubtedly be built tor much less money by the shredder. Country Gentleman. Stabling Cows in Had Weather. So soon as fall rains begin, cows, especially those giving milk, should be stabled. The effect of rain on the hair of an animal is to Induce heavy evap oration, which, of course, chills the animal, much as would the wearing of heavy woolen coat, saturated with rain during the entire night. There Is no w&y to keep up milk supply after wet weather begins except by stabling the cows. The wet weather Is really much more Injurious to the animal than dry, cold weather could be. Phosphates and Aahea. You ask for experience of anyone that has tried phosphate and axhes. I found that my land was more deficient In potash than other elements of plant food. I mixed equal parts of phos phate and ashes, aud used 200 pounds to the acre for corn with good results. I have used it two years with good suc cess. One year was very dry, and this year uncommonly, wet. Baltimore American. ; Wheat or Corn for Fattening. Many of the experiment stations have been testing the value of wheat as compared with corn for fattening cattle, and give the preference to corn as better food for the purpose as well as the cheaper of the two. When ground and mixed wlthporn, oats and oatmeal, wheat has a value in giving a needed variation of diet Farm Notea " ' There Is no bedding so suitable for hogs as leaves, and for sows having broods leaves cannot be surpassed. They retain warmth, can easily be re moved, and cost only the labor of col lecting and storage. The garden plot should be plowed In the fall and then covered three or four Inches with manure free from litter, worked In wfth a cultivator. In the spring the plot will be ready for seed early and the manure will quickly de compose. " When a farmer becomes so busy as to be unable to work every portion of his farm It Is the best evidence that he has too much land. The succesKful farm ers are those who seek to bestow thor ough cultivation . to every acre, and small farms give a larger profit propor tionately than farms where crops can be grown on only a portion every year. THE PATRIOTS' MANIFESTO. Issa.sl by the Cnbaa Constitutional Assembly, New York, Not. 89. The Cuban constitutional assembly, which met re cently at Cauiaguey, to remodel tli coiitstitution and elect a new president, issued manifesto, whioh reached the office of the Cuban junta in this city today.. The document n dated Dnyaya, October 80, 1897, and is signed Domingo Mende Capote, as president of the assembly. - The manifesto is the address of "The representatives of the Cuban people to all those who have in ilcpeiulenee and the future wplfare of Cuba at heart." The document say the assembly, before adjourning, deemed it its duty to proclaim, among other things: "That no rpecial laws, no form of autonomy; nothing, in short, that th Spanish government may be willing to Kraut, that means Spanish . sov ereiguty over Cuba, will be accepted by Cubans as a settlement pf the war Independence or death shall be the un alterable and sacred motto ot the Cu bans. Cubans have not resorted to arms in order to obtain any political meas tires which do not, onoe aud for all solve the Cuban question. That is the reason we will accept nothing short of absolute independence. "It is our purpose to .constitute an nuleendent state, orderly, prosperous and happy, over the ruins of a worn- out colony. We are firmly determined to carry on the war until victory or death crowns our efforts." Autonomy at Last Madrid, Nov. 29. The official fra aette publishes today the royal decrees granting autonomy to Cuba and Porto Hico, thus removing the anxiety that bad begun to be expressed on all sides as the result of the government a reti cenee and unexplained delay. Article. 1 explains the principle of the future government of the two islands. Article decrees that the government of each island shall be composed of an insular parliament, di vided into two chambers, whiles gov ernor-general, representing the home govermnment, shall exercise in its name the supreme authority. Artiole 3 declares that the faculty of making laws for colonial affairs rests with the insular ohambers and the governor- general. Article 4 directs that the in sular representation shall be composed of two corporations, with equal power, chamber ot representatives and a counoil of administration. Article 6 provides that the council of adminis tration shall consist of 35 members, of whom 18 shall be elected and 17 nomi nated by the home government Artiole 6 provides that members ol the counoil must be Spaniards 35 years of age, who have resided in Cuba con tinuously for four years. It specifies numerous officials, such as senators, presidents of courts and of chambers of commerce and other bodies as eligible to election to the council. Artiole 7 to 14 deal with nominations and the con ditions of election to councils. Article 15 empowers the throne or the gover nor-general to convoke, Suspend or dis solve the chambers, with an obligation to reassemble them within three months. CHEERED FOR AMERICA. iileaed Prisoners Brought on a IMot In I'orto Itico. Havana, Nov. 29. Advices from Porto Kioo eay a riot occurred there yesterday. It appears that a atesmer having on board a number of political prisoners, recently released from the Spanish penal settlement on the Afri can coast, in accordance with the am nesty decree, arrived there, and the berated men were allowed to land. They soon fonnd their way to a drink- iig saloon, partook of stimulants and began cheering for the United States, crying: Hurrah for free America." This demonstration wsa resented by le crowds about the place, and rioting followed. The police were called upon to interfere, and compelled the liber ated men to re-embark. During the disturbance, the police arrested the in surgent, Colonel Aliposanchez. Senor Marcos Garcia, the governor of Santa Clara, has arrived at Sagna, in order to be better able to judge of the condition of the reconcentradoes. From thia day, these unfortunate people will receive rations. The Spanish authorities today re leased from prison Thomas J. Jordan, a prisoner captured, according to the allegations, after the landing of an ex pedition by the American schooner Three Friends, and Emanuel Hernan dez, who is said to have been a mem ber of another filibustering expedition. Both men were under sentence of death. The government has also re leased from prison Juan Aria, Augus tine Cossio, Emil Betancourt and Ko aendo Betancourt Baker City, Or., Nov. 29. A fatal accident occurred last evening at the Elkhorn -Bonanza mine. In some un accountable manner James Cagel ignit ed some giant powder, and the whole magazine exploded with a force which almost jarred the mountain. The on fortunate miner was killed as if struck by a lightning bolt, his body being mangled in a frightful manner. Thoa. Hopkins was painfully though not fa tally injured. . Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 29. Following the requests of the boards of trade and the Commercial Club of Louisville, come numerous lettera nrging Governor Bradley to appoint his daughter, Miss Christine, who is now in school in Washington, D. C, to christen the new battle-ship Kentucky. While it is somewhat embarrassing for the gov ernor to confer the honor on a member of bis own family, it is quite likely that he will comply with these popular requests. Prairie Fire In New. Mexico. Clayton, N. M., Nov. 29. A prairie fire is sweeping over the country sonlh of this point. The grass is very high, and there has been no rain for weeks. The course of the fire is through the great range belt, and for over 200 miles there is no barrier In its path. Thou sands of sheep are in danger. Coal tar, when used for dyes, yields 16 shades of blue, the same number of yellow tints, 13 of orange, nine ol violet, and numerous other colors and shades. TBI CARETAKER.

No decided change have occurred In wheat valuea during the week. Th market has been principally noted for the absence of general speculation and the presence of several arguments that apparently warrant an advanoe. Crop advices in America, while showing an Improvement in condition of the grow ing crop, most certainly indicate a do creased area seeded. . Tho nowa fruin the Argentine crop has been sensation al. General frosts have occurred, but the extent of the damage, if any, is only a matter of conjecture. The exact facts cannot be ascertained for some time yet. Roporta from Husaia assert the rye crop to be very abort and tho oat crop poor. The export demand am timioa unabated, and In exoesa of our weekly surplus. It is matter of re cent history that export countries are liable to sou more than their available lurplus of breadstuffs and be forced to become importers. Thia la evidenced in the case of Australia and the Argen tina during the past year, and should our export clearance continue at the present rata it Is entirely possible that i . . ara large, compared with last year, and visible atocka continue to increase. When the high valuea are taken into consideration together with the large crop produced last year, it la a matter of surprise that the primary receipt are not much larger. Advioea from the northwest Indicate that the move ment from first bauds la decreasing. Export clearances of wheat aud flour for the week were fl,658,7Bl bushels. Large sales for export have been made during the week, partly the result of apprehended damage to the Argentine orop. . The local speculative condition of the wheat market is very unsatisfactory. There is an absence of general aiecula tive interest due partly to high values, but more particularly to the small stocks and the presence of more or less manipulation in the market. A large short interest extata entirely out of pro portion to existing atocka -There is nothing in the general situation to war rant any decline. The result of the Argentine crop seeing to be the determ ining factor regarding future values. Until the result is definitely known It seema that present valuea will be fully maintained and probably advanoed. There has been decided Improve ment in the cash demand for corn, both for Eastern account and for ex port. The government report, eatimal ing the crop yield at 1.803,000,000 bushels, ia not credited by the trade and entirely unwarranted according to private advices. . Portland Market.
