MuIchin q,

In farm parlance, mulch is any mater
iai lald upon the surface OF the soil IN such
manner as to prevent the evaporation OF
water. Where mulching is practical In
agriculture, however, such substances az
straw, leaves, damaged nay and the like,
are the ones most usually employed. The
effect Of mulching, which is more prac-
t1ced IN horticulture than in ordinary
farming, may really be seen By fitting up
board or stone that has laid Cat on the
surface, when the ground will be found
moist beneath it. The capillary conneo-
ton has been maintained up to the under
surface Of The mulcding substance, which
has stopped the upward movem mt of the
moisture and hindered It's escape into the
atmosphere.
From the nature OF the case mulching
OF the character named cannot be ez-
tensiyely used in farm practice. Potatoes
have sometimes been grown under
lnulch of straw, but more as an expert
ment tdan as profitable method. liz the
garden such muching is often useful to
limited extent. Thus by mu.ching straw
berries between the rows moisture Is re-
tanned and the berries ara KEPT from the
ground.
The best substitute for an actual mulch
is thin surface layer Of loose earth, such
as can lie made with the hoe or cultivator.
While not a perfect mulch for conserving
moisture j. will nave that effect to con-
siderable extent, and along with the de-
struch0n Of wees, two purposes may be
well served by tie same operation.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 5.-Chairman

this morning. He reached his
Office at 1890 o'clock, and en-
gagged with his accustomed energies In
his business and as quietly as ifyester-
day he had been at his desk instead Of
attending the funeral of his infant
child. There was great surprise in
the office. Excepting Secretary Love
Joy no one knew that he was COM

There was general rejoicing among
the employees from the elevator boy ND
to the chief officials. AS soon as Mr..
Prick reached the building he went
into his private room, lighted a cigar,
asked that the heads of the depart
ments report to him as usual and then
buried himself in the morning mail.
Mr.. Fricl> had a pleasant greeting
for young Fortney, who displayed
great courage in Selling Berkman

escape after having shot and stabbed
Prick and Leishman. The chairman
warmly thanked the young man. Up

HASTEN HOME RULE.
The Irish Members Are Confident of
Victory.


LONDON, Aug. 6.-The series of con-
ferences between the leaders of the
Irish party and Mr.. Gladstone has def
nitely resulted in such degree Of
mutual confidence as promises to
expedite greatly the advent of home
rule in Ireland. The acceptance
by Mr.. John Morley of the post
of Chief Secretary for Ireland was
a point upon which the chiefs of the
McCarthyite faction laid considerable
stress. Mr.. Morley himself was re-
luctant to accept the Secretaryship,
desiring some other post in the Cabi-
net which would impose upon him less
arduous duties, and only agreed to ac-
cept it when :. was represented to him
by Mr.. Gladstone that no other Minis
ter would SO fully command the sup
port of the Irish members of Parlia-
ment.
In an interview Mr.. John Dillon ex-
pressed the satisfaction of the Irish
party at the prospect of Mr.. Morley
holding the post during the critical
period in the progress of the home rule
bill. Referring to the reports printed
in some of the English papers that GER
tain Irish members might take office
under Mr.. Morley Mr.. Dillon said that
such thing was next to impossible.
No member Of the party, he declared,
would dare to accept place under any
English government.
When asked whether he could COM
municate what notifications Mr.. Glad
stone has made in his home rule bill,
Mr.. Dillon replied that he was not at
liberty to say anything except that
the bill is likely to be one that Mr..
Parnell would have accepted, adding:
eve will not take anything less. Mr..
Gladstone knows that our position in
the matter is definite and infexible.
He has pledged himself to place home
rule in front of all other measures and
to keep it there until it is passed.
believe we can rely upon his intention
to do so.''

About this time hens that havs been
laying all the season will take rest. Ii
Is their mouIting season. and they need
ezra cars and feed at this time Just as
horses and COWS do in early spring when
changing their winter coat. All know
how llatle cattle and horses are in the
tlme OF shedding their coats to be troubled
with lice. Hens are even more Liable. as
they are exhausted by continued egg pro

Is hot. Under such circumstances lice
increase rapidly, the hens becoming list

for mculting hens Is h:xsfed. It has the

An Experiment in Corn Growing.

At several experimental stations last
year trials were mads of the result from
depIivlng every alternate row of corn of
It's tassels. In every case the trial showed
an increase of gram on the row from
which the tassels were removed. Nature
has undoubtedly given the earn plant far
more pollen in its tassels than is needed
TO perfect the seed 1t had to do SO, be-
cause as nature plants corn it usually puts
one grain In place. Under such condi-
tions probably not one twentieth of the
pollen would fall on the silk, and if there
were much wind at the time much less
than that. Now corn is planted In rows
and hills so that each hill helps to fertil-
ze others. 1t is we'll worthy of expert
ment to find how many of these stalks
can be deprived Of their tassels ana leave
enaugh pollen 10 fertilize the crop. If
there is little less than needed it will
probably result in better seed, the fertil-
lied grains crowding over into the spaces
that have missed their pollen, and thus

DENVER, Col, Aug. 6.-The work Of
the reception committees of the
Knights Templars began in earnest
Saturday with the arrival of some OF
the Eastern delegations. According to
the plans laid out some time ago all the
Colorado comman terieS were present
to assist in the work, and there were
none too many to properly attend to
things. The Denver commandery was
divided into five sections and they took
upon themselves the hours when the
work was thought to be most arduous.
Beginning at o'clock in the morning
they were on hand at the east end of the
depot, ready to receive those from
Colorado points. On account of the
multitude from the East taking cir
cults around the State preliminary to
coming here many of the outside State
communicates We're somewhat delayed
In coming. They had to stay home
and look out for their own visitors.
The Denver men had their hands full,
and as each commandery came in it
was taken in charge and escorted to
quarters with bands playing and colors
flying. The knights went on foot and
nearly all the ladies were provided
with carriages.
Durango and Georgetown command
cries were first to arrive, having come
In yesterday afternoon and this morn

to report for reception committee duty.

City Fast Filling Up.
When the California knights arrive
they will help in the work which will
be completed Monday morning. The
crowd of outsiders is constantly in
creasing, each train arriving in the
city swelling the throng to proportions
far beyond anything anticipated thus
early. Ho ell and other places of ac-
commodation are rapidly filing up.
Frankfort ind Commandery, with
twenty-five knights AMI TWEEN y aides,
was the first delegation to come in from
the East this morning. They were
taken in charge and escorted to their
quarters by the Denver men. The
commandery from Beatrice, Neb.,
came in about 10 o'clock and was
likewise cared for. Full coramander-
les are here from Augusta, ILL.,, Fort

Washington Authorities Not Interested
in the Taking OF johnson Island.
WAsHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The report
that the British government has taken
formal possession Of johnson island in
the Pacific ocean does not excite much
interest in official circles for the reason
that the island is of no value for STRAIT
egic purposes, and because the supply OF
guano is practically exhausted. At the
Department of State it is said that the
United States has exercised jurisdic-
tional right over the island since 1858,
when an American guano company
landed party thereon and occupied it.
Territorial jurisdiction, however, has
never been claimed by the United
States, and the island has never been
annexed. The United States would
exert its jurisdictional rights over the
island to protect the Guano company
in pursuit of it's business, bnt it is said
there would be no conflict with terri
toriai jurisdiction set forward by any
other government

MExICO'S FINANCE.
1t Is In a Poor Condition, According to
Gen. Sandoyal.

Gen Sandoval.
Ell PAso, Texas, Aug. 6.-The Times
to-day contains q long interview with
Gen. Luis Sandoval, in which the revo-
lutionist leader scouts the idea of Texas
deputy marshals arresting Catarino
Cara, but the most important feature
of the interview is discussion of the
financial condition of Mexico.
He says that the affairs of Mexico
are not thoroughly understood by the
people of the United States, because
the newspaper correspondents are sub
sidized by the Mexican government.
The actual condition of the country is
one of financial embarrassment Gen.
Diaz' lack of knowledge of governing
the country has led to this crisis. He
mortgaged the future of Mexico to the
extent of $50, 200, 900 for the purpose of
building railroads, and now these roads,
by their exorbitant rates, have killed
the prosperity of the country.
