Mr. Conger is acting on parallel
lines with the representatives of
every European power at the Chi-

any concert of action.
It is realized here that the Chi-
nese government io dealing with
the "boxers" will encounter much

be pnrely patriotic in purpose.
Its oootontioe is that the tench^

results absolutely destructive of
the Chinese system of government.
The "boxen" are oot now attack-

killing tbe Chinese who allowed
themselves to be converted to

Discussing, crop prospects and
stone, a large farmer living in tbe
Independence ? neighborhood, be
recited some most successful ex-
amples of what can be accomp-
lished in this section of the state,
not only in crop diversification
but also in rotstion. Mr. Hair-
nton has quite an extensive plot
of land near his resideoce wbich
he devotes to small field crops.
In February last year he planted
a part of this land in Irsh potatoes..
On the 15th of the following
June, tbe potatoes having matur-
«e«f, were gathered and the land
planted in Mexican June corn.
On October 15 he gathered a
of earn,
snd the same land " was prepared
and planted in . turnips, which
made a very large yield, some
specimens of which weighed
eight pounds. These three staple
&rops were raised io eleven
months and interfered in no way
whatever with the preparation of
lapd for the crop of 1900, tbe
following year.

In breeding they are more prolifie,
