It reached the department during tho early hours today, and Adjutant Gen eral Corbln, realizing its importance, at ouco mado it public, after sending a copy to the White House. Thu news created a sensation in official circles. It was tho first sevcro rcvoiso that has occurred for it long time. Still, the officials were not un prepared for the news of just this character from Saniiir, in which the revolution started by Agtiinaldo still continues. Samar is a country about as large as the state of Ohio and tho American forces of occupation num ber In all between 2,000 and 2,r)00 men. They aro distributed among various posts in tho island, a largo number being located at the moro im portant centers. Spain never made any effort to oc cupy Samar and it has only been for probably thrco months past that the United States has undertaken that work.

Among the people the suffering from the bard times is greater. Tho sala ries of all tho government civil em ployes have been cut in half, but even this is not now paid. Since tlio reverses at Guajira, the government has been transferring its attcntoin to tlio San Cristobal country, south of Maracaibo, and is sending arms, men and 750,000 rounds of ammunition from Caracas to Barqucsimcto, where tho interior forces are converging. Tho feeling of the country against President Castro is growing stronger every day. Tho country's discontent at General Castro's dictatorship is evidenced by many comparatively insignificant signs, but they plainly fortell a grow ing revolution, A rupture lietwecn Colombia and Venezuela would give the revolutionary element tho desired chanco to attack the government. The president recognizes discontent exist ins and is taking measures to meet whatever revolutionary exigen cies may arise.

The up-to-date farmer with a largo acreage finds It slow work to plow bis fields with the old single plows of tho past, and so ho utilizes the electric cur rent and multiplies tlio number of plow shares to suit himself. In tlio West this Is practically a necessity, on ac count of the large size of the Holds and the cost of labor and teams. Our Illus tration shows a convenient form of mo tor plow which lias been designed by Conrad Melssner of Froderlchsburg, Germany, It consists of two electric motors operating winding drums on sep arate carriages, which may be placed at any required dlstanco apart, only ono motor being connected with tho main feed wire. To supply power to KLLCTniCAI.LY Ol'KKATKI) PLOW. the second motor a feed cable lying parallel with the traction cable Is read' justed at every trip of the plow to fol low the latter down the field. The mechanism Is so adjusted that when once set In motion the apparatus prac tlcally operates Itself, moving the car rlagcs forward at the beginning of each trip o bring tho plowshares In post tlon for the next row of furrows. The plows are attached to a two-wheeled truck, which Is pulled back and forth across tho field, moving forward at the end of each set of furrows as lone as tho power Is turned on. Growing Rxe Profitably. In sections of the country where wheat was formerly an Important crop, rye has largely taken its place. The best method of growing rye Is to seed It with timothy In the fall, and follow It with clover the next spring. This Is the plan used where rye Is In the regu lar rotation after corn nud oats. To get the best results the seed sliould be sown thinly on fairly good soli. The time of sowjng usually being early In September, never later than the middle of the month. If the soil Is rich and In good shape, one and one-half bushels of seed per acre drilled In is sufficient On land that Is poor, a bushel and three pecks Is usually used In seeding. Ilye straw brings good prices In the market. and as the grain Is less likely to be In Jured by Insects than wheat, and can bo grown on soli too poor for wheat. It can be used to advantage In feeding for certain stock. It Is not particularly good for cows, as It seemingly Injures tho quality of the butter. It Is excellent food for swine, and to a moderate ex tent for poultry. Whllo It has no par tlcular value as a legume, rye is valu able to turn under for green manuring. Exchange. Tho Morab'e Mnntcer, When stock Is fed In the field, as It Is oftentimes convenient to do, a num ber of movable mangers will be found very useful. A horso such as is used by carpenters Is constructed of light wood and a light board eight by twelve Inches wide nailed to the legs on each sido of tho horse This leaves suffi cient space between the board and tho top bar of tho horse for any animal to get his head In and feed. Thero Is no need of having any bottom to this man' ger unless the feeding Is dono In somo place where It Is wet. Of course. If tho feeding Is dono against a fenco or A JIOVAULK MANOEH. the sido of a building or wall, It will bo necessary to attach tho board on that sido of the horse Indianapolis Nows. Heavy Kerttllzliicr. While somo of tho experiment sta tions havo reported that In testing dif ferent amounts or fertilizer per acre for potatoes they have found tho prollt- ablo limit to bo apout 1,500 pounds, there Is a farmer on Long Island who claims that It la protltablo for him to uso 3,000 pounds per acre. Ho claims that ho was forced to It by tho dlfll culty of getting enough of stablo ma- nuro and tho high prlco of It. Ho found It would cost about tho same for tho 3,000 pounds of fertilizer as for tho manure ho usually bought, and ho de cided to try one aero. Now ho uses about twenty-flvo tons a year besides "3iil& all tho manure mado on the farm. Ho uses It en the potatoes, and then fol lows them with wheat one year, grass two years, corn ono year. Thcso all without fertilizer excepting that put on tho potatoes. After flvo years rota tion tho land Is ready for potatoes again. Each year about four acres of tlio potato ground Is sown to ryo. and tho next year that Is sown with tur nips and carrots. His crops sold one year were 4,500 bushels of potatoes, 4.000 bushels of turnips, 400 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels of rye 1,800 bushels of corn, ten tons of carrots, ten tons of rye straw, eighty tons of hay, bosldo some tons of rye straw and sev eral moro of corn fodder. Upon a farm out In a section whero ono would think It necessary to grow principally market garden crops, he Is growing upon com mercial fertilizers alone such crops as ono might grow on a farm remoto from markets, or even from railroads, that he need not sell until he Is ready to go to market, as even the potatoes can bo kept for weeks and others for months If necessary, and he finds It succcssrui farming. Massachusetts Ploughman. Tho Va'm of tnnilone 1 Farm. Every once in a whllo communica tions come from farmers In tho West and South, who, for reasons of tholr own, desire to teturn to tho Eastern States. They have read about tho abandoned farms In New England and New York, and seem to think that If they could obtain one of these fnrms at little or no cost, their future would bo assured. In many cases these aban doned farms are simply land that Is worn out, or too stony to be worked to advantage with tho modern form crops. In nearly every caso the vital objection to these farms Is their distance from market. The great majority of them are located miles from a railroad or a market, which can only bo reached over very rough and littlo traveled roads. Some of tlicso farms are capa ble of being made profitable, but tho expense of marketing the crops Is so great that It Is a question If It would pay any one to take up one of thcso places. Gradually, the Increase In tho number of trolley roads throughout tho Eastern States Is bringing these farms within easy access of markets, and as soon as these roads become a reality, the farms quickly disappear from tho market. Any farmer who Is located within reasonable distance of a good market, and who ran reach It readily, had best stay where he Is. Of course. If he Is In a position to buy an Im proved farm better located than tho one be at present occupies, that Is a dif ferent matter, but as for taking up ono of these abandoned farms. It would bo like going from tbe frying pan Into tho fire. Indianapolis News. The I.'e I Poll Corr. The Bed Poll Is coming and will fill an Important place with the farmers who keep a few cows, milk them and nen poli, cow. grow their calves. While of quite a different type, yet the Bed Poll fills very nearly tho same place that the old- fashioned heavy milking Shorthorns did twenty-flve years ace Breeders' Gazette Fllo and Kuallaee. People are fast learning that good ensilage can only be secured In a first class silo and that a silo mado of poor material or from lumber that warps or twists will always prove disappointing to Its owner, says a writer In National Stockman. This Is Illustrated by the method of canning fruit. If the can Is scaled airtight, the fruit can bo pre served all through tho winter. But It tbe rubber packing Is poor or tho top Is uot screwed on tight, admitting tho air, the contents "work" and aro spoil ed. Tho same thing holds true with a silo. Unless the walls are Impervious to both air and moisture ono must not expect to keep this ensilage sweet. The cheap structures mado of old fenco boards should not be called silos. Ves- sel3 of this kind havo also let) many men to reject silage and probably ac counts for tho unjust and sweeping condemnation of It by milk condensa tes. There has never been a food up on which all kinds of stock thrive so well and which gives such largo re turns as Indian corn, cut and preserv ed In a silo In tho form of ensilage. As Prof. Henry says, "Cheap silos are a delusion and a snare, while good onei enable Indian corn to yield Its great est benefactions to man." Dairy Uten'.
