BOILED DOWN.

One of the essentials of soiine is a
fertile soil
Every farm ought to have its expert
mental patch
The early killed is the easily killed
weed, and the weed that robs the crop
least.
A diversity of crops distributes work,
receipts and expenses more evenly
through the year and through the years.
In no other way can the farmer so
radically do the work of Nature to his
advantage as By using tile; for under
drainage both lengtheus the seasons
and deepens the soil
TIE smaller the field the more fence
required aud the more land taken from
cultivation. The more oblong the field
the more fence required to inclose a
given area; conversely. the nearer a
square is the field the less fence is re-
guired.-American Agrieuiturist for

Won Holt and Miss Rhodes. Owing to
the late arrival OF one OF the trio. the

Ex-Ninister kasson, one Of the

to express an opinion in regard to
the stand taken by this Government.
said:
We all wish to enter the confer
ence as free as possible from any
utJeranees on the subject We have
considered the main question which
confronts us for decision. 1t is to
agree upon some mode of protecting
the rights of foreigners at Samoa
without interfering with native in
dependence. Our general aim will
be 10 secure good order at Samoa
and maintain the principle of equal
rights Of the powers interested there.
kasson. when asked Il he thought
the destruction OF the naval squadron
at Samoa would affect the settlement.
said he thought it would. There
would probably be more strenuous
efforts to reach q settlement so as to
render unnecessary the maintenance
OF an armed force at the islands"

We are going over there to discuss
the question Of arrangement for Sc
curing the rights Of foreigners in
Samoa. without interfering with the
native independence. and TO secure
good order IN the islands upon prin-
ciples Of equal rights TO the powers
interested. We want 70 go into the
conference with as much freedom

possible.
