vailed, the vines of these diseased potatoes

Secretary RusS has received oilicinl no.
tice that the German government has raised
the embargo on American pork. The
agreement was relative to the admission OF
pork into Germany and was signed at
Cape May Point about 10 days ago. but at
the request of the German government the
fact was withheld from,the public press un'
til tfficial action could be taken by the
home government
The agreement not only provides for the
admittance of our pork into Germany but
affords the Uoited States the same sched-
ule with reference to our farm products AZ
that enjoyed by Russia. Secretary Rusk
Is confident he soon will be able to extend
our market for corn by introducing 1t into
Germany for use as an article Of food in
place of rye, the crop Of which in Ger
many this year is exceedingly short. To
this end be has instructed corn agent Col.
G. J. Murphy, now i'll Europe, to proceed
at once to Berlin and lay the matter be-
fore the German government.

No Gaps w anted

The Germant own Telegraph puts it very
tersely thus: Keep the whole garden
busy. Ifap lsnt falls, put another in lis
place. Allow no gaps III the rows; If you
don't notice them, weeds will. A weed is
II thief; it robs the soil of its manure and
all the near plants of their very life. Fill
up every gap with seed or by transplant
ing, and If you can't do either, lay down
boards TO smother the weed seeds which
lie in wait in the soil to pop up their heads
and grow. Keep every foot of your gar
den working night AMI day for the benefit
of the soil uLd for your own benefit also
A busy patch is both a credit and profit.
You cant make fortune out of one-cab-
bage or one turnip, but you can always
make some money out Of many.

Narrow Escape of the Factovy of the
Walton and Whann Company.
Fire broke out in the storeroom OF the
Walton and Whann Company's fertilizer
factory on Marsh Lane this morning. and
according to rough estimate made by
the superintendent. the loss Is from
So, 900 to $1,000, which is covered by
insurance.
The FIRE was discovered at o 80 o'clock.
IL broke out In the kiln used for driving
ammoniacal matter, and this kiln and the
roof were badly damaged The factory
is outside the city limits, aud the assis
tant superintendent telephonsd to the
department for aid Box No. 28 at
Maryland avenue and Linden street, and
box No "a at Front and jefferson streets,
were struck and the entire department
responded.
The gallant Weccacoe boys were the
first ones to arrive and theirs was the
only stream of water turned on the FIRE
The other engines prepared themselves
for an emergency and watched the pro.
cess of putting out the FIRE.
AS the water pipes do not extend to or
near the factory ths gallant FIRE laddiea
were compelled to throw the end of the
suction hose into the ditch aud by the
time the FIRE was extinguished this ditch
was almost emptied
After the fire was extingnished one of

walked up to the EVENING JOURNAL

"See here. You ought to call the
attention Of these people to the advisa
bility Of having sluice gates to these

of water at low tide. And another thing
they ought to apply for is an alarm box.

The superintendent of the mills was
in the city when the fire broke out. he
ensered his carriage and drove post
haste to the factory when he heard OF
the fire. He was asked II he could ex
plain how the fire originated. He said
Il think the reason is that heretofore
we have used hard coal to heat the kiln,
but for several days we have been ex-
perimenting with soft coal which gives
greater heat and more fame That is
