Specially In the considerations that
induced Amadeus to ahdicate, the
possible declaration OF the Spanish
Republic was never for a moment
contemplated. 1t was a complete
surprise, a vciitahle comp tt cdt.
Amadeus would not have abdicatcd
had he deemed this consequence OF
his act probable, inasmuch rs the
two Latin nations, France ard Spain,
having each Republican Govern.
mcnt would nave enormous intiu
cncc on the third Latin nation, thus
directly cudangcring his fathers
/ throne.
Amadeus abdicatcd IN the cXpcc
tation that lie would be recalled by
the army whose side he has taken
, against the Ministry. For this he
remained in Portugal. The artil
lery officers are all Monarch:sts-a
members of old families. He belicv
cd that as he east away the throne
rather than act with the MlniStr,
who determined to humiliate til,
army. they would pronounce in hi,
favor, and he would return at thci
head. his hands being then free
from constitutional tranmelS. Bu
he was completely checkmatcd b!
the turn e events. Apparently l
was some suspicion of this that in
dueed many members Of the Cor.cs
not Republicans, to vote with Tia
Republican party in order to over
reach the royal maneuvrc. Anna

relinquiShed his hope for recall.

Forests and Drought.

Sardinia and Sicily, once the granaries of
Italy, have suffered the penalty of their
thoughtlessness in discriminating their
forests Two thousand years ago those
lands were celebrated for their wonderful
productiveness, and were said to be the
most beautiful in the world. In 1900 Hum
boldt visited Venezuela, South America,
and was informed by the natives living in
the valley of Araguay that they had no.
ticed, with great establishment, that q lake
which lay in the middle of the valley had
decreased in volume every year; the cause
of this is clearly traced to the telling of a
great number of trees which grew on the
surrounding mountains. In Hungary the
periodical drOughts are universally attrib-
uted to the humiliation of forests. In
Cairo, Lower Egypt, great many years
ago, rain fell but seldom-only once in
three or four years; but since the time of
Mohammed Ali twenty to thirty millions
of trees have beenIplanted, and the result is
now that the people have from thirty to
forty rainy days every year. Surely these
few of the many examples are warnings
sufficient to put US on our guard

About Raising Wheat.

We think we are in the habit of sowing
too much seed and using too little manure.
In England, where they plant the least
quantity of seed, and use more manure
than perhaps in any country in the world,
they make the finest wheat. | see in the
Tennessee Agriculturist an account of a
farm in Lincolnshire, England, of three
hundred acres, yielding fifty-six bushels
per acre.
We will, however, never succeed in pro-
ducing good crops while we sow in corn
land and scratch the seed in with bull
tongue plows. Our experience teaches us
that land cultivated in oats, wheat and
corn becomes too loose and porous to pro-
duce healthy, vigorous wheat. Our land
should be well packed by stock. Farmers
are generally agreed that clover fallow is
the best condition for heavy crop. But
we can make fine wheat by sowing oats in
the spring. The course is this, when they
get to be about half leg high, Craze them
Offwith milk cows or sheep, pillow again
about the last of June, sowing oats again,
not forgetting the manure, and as soon as
it will do pasture the second time. We will
then have our land in good condition for q
wheat crop.-Rural Sun.
