WEEDS are only plants out of their

situated as to be pests. Several Of the
snowy flower garden plants, when they
escape from cultivation, become trou-
blesome weeds. A rose-bush may be so
much out of its place in a ccrnield as
to deserve to be treated as a weed.
There are, however, some kinds of
plants that should never be found grow
ing in the soil OF any farm Or garden.
Such plants are the weeds, strictly So

STOCK should be fed a variety Of
food. Many flocks and herds have to
subsist almost entirely upon grain food
the entire year, which Isl injudlcious
mode of feeding. Vegetables. either
raw or cooked, or mixed with ground
grain, are excellent. but there is moth
ing equaling a liberal supply of grain
morning and night, with plenty OF grass
during the day, and if the pasture is
supplied with a mixed heritage SO much

will be wise to mulch these before dry
weather begins. The object of a mulch
is TO prevent evaporation Of moisture
from the soil, hence litter of any kind,
chip-dlrt, or even stones, will answer.
II the surface of the soil Of the orchard
can be frequently stirred and kept light,
this will answer the same purpose as
mu,ching. Early varieties Of apples
and pears keep but a short time after
they are gathered. and are readily
bruised. II assorted and properly pack
ed in crates they are often more profit
able than later kinds. The greater the
distance from market, the harder should
peaches be when gathered. The fruit
should still be firm when 1t reaches the
market. If strawberries are In rows,
remove the mulch cut off the runners,
and give a dressing of fine manure or
some good fertilizer; pull up any weeds
that are in the rows, and return the
mulch to keep down weeds. IL the soil
can be kept cultivated the mulch need
not be returned until cold weather.
AS O as pot-layered plants are well
established set them out; continue to
layer them. Thinning the fruit to the
extent of one-third or one-half will pay
with choice apples and pears. Blight
attacks without warning; cut away the
branch, OF tree, as the case may be, and
burn. One of the most troublesome in
sects in hot weather is the so-called
red spider of the greenhouses. 1t is es-
pecially bad upon pear trees, causing
the foliage to turn brown. Syringe
with soft s~oapsuds, stirring a little kero-
sene into the soap before adding the wa
ter. Cut out old raspberry n as
soon as the fruit is off; allow only as
many shoots to grow as are needed for
fruiting. Pinch blackberry canes when
6 feet high and their branches when
eighteen inches long. Mlldew will at

is very easy to stone cherries with the
stoning machines now to be had almost
everywhere at a small cost, and while
doing a part, have others cooking. l
use a half pound Of sugar to each pound
of fruit, and make a syrup OF a pint or
less of water to each pound of sugar.
Let the syrup boil well and skim it be-
fore adding the fruit. Merely scald
the latter a very short time, not put
ting very much into the kettle at once,
so that by gently stirring it every part
can soon come in contact with the
boiling syrup. Then with the fruit
ladle fill the bottles, being careful not
to dip in too much juice, Add more
fruit to the syrup left, and continue
thus until all are cooked. With good
bottles l have no trouble in keeping
fruit, but 1t is well to occasionally buy
new rubbers as the old ones lose their
elasticity. and become hard. Many a
bottle of fruit is lost from neglect In
this particular. These rubber rings
only cost a cent a piece, or 10 cents a
dozen.
1t is necessary to add more sugar to
the syrup as more fruit is added. as the
sugar will become exhausted in time.

The Rankin Convention.

The democratic county cOnven.
ton OF Rankin met u Brandon OH
Monday. 1t was composed of fifty
delegates, forty of whom were for
Barksdale and ten for Hooker.
Twenty delegates were appointed,
four from each beat, to attend the
congressional convention OH the
LIST prox. The president appointed
no delegegate from Holbrook pro.
cinct, and this created II great deal
OF bitterness. The dispatches state
that old "iirst and second ticket"
lines were drawn down tight, old
sores torn open, AMI it is feared the
democracy OF Rankin county IL split
worse than ever. No little feeling
was manifested in the election of u
new county executive committee,
some OF the delegates claiming that
the cid executive committee was
elected for two years and the others
that it was elected for only one
year. The latter prevailed by ten
votes and elected new committee,
which was not ut all satisfactory to
the minority of the convention.
The convention Instructed for
Barksdale. This gives, thus far,
ten votes for Barksdale in the con.
grcssional convention, and six for
Hooker. Kinds will make Hook.
er's vote fourteen.

diets that Mai. Barksdale will carry

The Mexican Trouble.

tor, who IN the cause of the trouble,
was tried by the authorities of Chi.
hualiua, u Mexican State, and sen.
fenced to one years imprisonment
and heavy damages. This was for
u crime committed Oh American
soil. Secretary Bayarl has sent =
formal demand for the release of
Cutting, AMI if it is not complied
with the resort will he an appeal to
to arms. Mr.. Bayarl is deeply in
earnest in his determination To re.
sist the position taken by Mexico,
ard feels strongly In the matter,
and said, with much impressive.
ness, that he considered the rrinci.
pie involved in tho Cutting affair
to bc one OF the gravcst Importance
AMI one OF which the whOlo cOun.
try, without reference TO party,
should be a unit. The personal
merits or dement's of Cutting him
self has nothing to do with the
matter. 1t made no difference
whether he was m angel OF dark.
ness or al angel of light, bnt it did
make the greatest possible differ.

or the contention raised by the
state Department in his case should
I've maintained or not. Mexico
claims in Cuttings ease the right
to try an American citizen for IN
offcnse committed in the United
States, AMI Cutting has been actu-
ally convicted and sentenced for
publishing u libel in Texas.
Secretary Bayarl thinks this
raises the gravest possible question
between the two countries, and il
Mexico's claims were once cOnced.
cd no American travelling in Mexi.
co would he safe.
"My c0untrymen," lie said, with
evident feeling, "will not he de-

ity OF the question involved, and

mitted in this country. Suppose

rival OH Texas soil, instead ofmere
~ attacking his reputatiOn' Does
any one pretend thar Mexico could
have tried him for murderi Certain

The case. Mr.. Bayarl thinks,
is too clear for equivocation, and he
has no idea of retrca.ins from the
position taken by the Department
