FARM NOTES.

With proper management small fruits
are as easily grown as any of the farm
crops
All things considered, with the straw
berry the better plan is to grow in mat
ted rows.
Even in the garden, it will be best to
give the plants plenty of room in order
to secure the best growth.
An old strawberry patch plowed un-
der gives excellent returns If planted
to vegeta blcs or other fruits
In setting out raspberries, goose
berries and blackberries it is nearly al
ways best to cut within six inches of
the ground
Weeds are much more easily destroyed
while young. and for this reason it is
quite an item to start the cultivation
as soon as possible after planting.
Protection from too much sun, with
the majority of small fruits, seems to
be positive advantage and especially
with the currents and goose berries.
The best age to begin to feed fowls
for fattening in good shape is as soon
as they have reached their maturity.
Oats are useful food as they stimulate
without enervating or fattening.
BldckOerr16S require lanO ne1Jner TOO
rich nor too poor. Low or wettish land
will not do; lghtish sandy loan is best
While growing the plants must be kept
nlpped back, and cultivation and hoe
ing ceases after the 1st to the 18th of
August
The disc harrow or stalk-cutterI are
good instruments to work trash into the
soil at this time and it pays in many
cases to use them before preparing the
land for the spring crops Then care
should be taken to work the soil into a
good filth before planting the seed,
whether small grain or cultivated
| crops
1t is not best to burn the trash; in
fact, to do so is to injure the land The
better plan is to work everything into
| the soil While there is not any consid-
cradle amount of plant food or manurial
value in weeds. stalks or straw, yet the
mechanical effect upon the soil when
these are thoroughly incorporated with
| it is always beneficial
One of the important items in the
| growing of good crops is to have the
land clean and well prepared Weeds
| and trash not only increase the cost of
| preparing the land, but interferes with
the growth and cultivation II the
land is once made clean it Is compare
| lively easy to keep it so, but in most
cases it will require very considerable
work to get it clean.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The President Will Probably Call Congress
Together About September to REVISE
the Tarir.
WASHINGTON, April L-Cougress will
reconvene in SPECIAL session about Sep
teinber /. Cleveland sent for Crisp yes
tertiay and had conference with him
and told him such was the present
plan. Cleveland said that the main
purpose was the passage of a tariff bill,
and that by that time Secretary Car
Isle, acting for the administration,
would be ready to submit his
views in the form of a communication
outlining the main features of a tariff
bill to the ways and means committee
of the house for its consideration. Crisp
said such call for a special session
would conform to his own ideas of the
situation exactly, and that such a tariff
bill could be put on the high road to
passage before the regular session in
December. Nothing was said on that
point, but it is well understood that
the repeal of the Sherman law will be
gone about during the same special
session
After Crisp left Cleveland, he began
at once to seriously consider the make
up of his committees Several impor-
tant chairmanships of committees will
have to be filed when congress next
meets. Herbert in the ca binet makes
a new head for the naval committee
necessary. II is said that Cultivate
does not want the Craftsmanship of the
military committee, and that will have
to be filed. Henderson is out, and
that leaves the Craftsmanship of the
post office committee vacant Blount's
~
manship of the foreign affairs com
mittee. Bacon will stay in New Yorl.
this time, and SO the chairman for the
committee on banking and currency
must be looked up. Holman will moi
be given the appropriation committee
again and Sayers, of Texas, will take
his place. Peel will be ont and the In.
dian committee will need chairman
All this, coupled with the uncertainty
about the necessity for new, strong
timber, squared to administra ton lines
for the ways and means committee vii
make plenty of work for Crisp this
summer.
Crisp will be made speaker with
scarce a contest. Cleveland's talk with
him to-day was all on that theory
McMillin, of Tennessee, will and is try
ing to rake up some shadow of support
for himself, but it will amount to moth
ing and is only intended by McMillin
to get him, if possible, the chairman
ship of the committee on ways
and means. McMillin will not
make it, however. Springer vii
either be retained, which is
not likely, or Wilson, of West Virginia
will take the place. 1t will be inter
esting to note whether B ,urlle Cochran
will retain his position on this commit
tee. He is not and does not pretend tC
be a radical tariff reformer, and is
away behind what Cleveland wants
If Cochran stays on the committee il
will only be by Cleveland's consent. as
Crisp will be guided in making up this
particular committee wholly by Cleve
lands views

Desperate Battle Between Governments
Troops and Revolutionists In Honduras
Government Troops Observation-Disclosures
sIaughtered-AR Reign of Terror.
PANAMA, Colombia, March 30.-A dis
astrous battle has been fought near
Tatumbla, Honduras, resulting in the
routing of Gen. Alfonso Villelas, who
had been sent to the front with a large
body of government troops to intercept
the march of the revolutionists, who
were moving against the capital at
Tegucigalpa-
Tatumbla had been occupied by the
troops under Gen. Terrencia Sierra,
who commands the south wing of the
revolutionary army. In connection
with the east wing of the revolutionary
forces, commanded by Gen. Reyna,
Gen. Sierra was leading the advance on
Tegucigalpa- The west wing under
Gen. Reyna was four miles in the rear.
Reyna's troops were pushed rapidly
to the front. Col Manuel Rosas with
two companies leading the advance.
The battle had begun SO late in the day
that firing had to be suspended on &C
count of darkness when Col ROsaS' de-
tachment arrived to relieve the be-
sieged army in Tatumbla.
Gen. Villelas' forces fell back a short
distance and waited for the following
day to renew the attack, when a flank
movement upon Gen. Villelas was de-
cided upon. Five hundred Texigant
braves were detached from the east
wing and with Gen. Reyna himself at
| their head occupied height to the left
of the position held by Gen. Villelas'
army.
Gen. Villelas renewed his attack up.
on the revolutionist at daybreak and
the battle was soon raging all along
the line. AS soon as the attack in
front became general Gen. Reyna and
his Texigant braves opened fire on
Villelas' forces in the rear. This
was so fierce and surprising that
| the government troops were al.
most demoralized- The fire in front
and rear ragged on for an hour and a
half. The government forces could
stand it no longer and Gen. Villelas OF
dered a retreat Not more than fifty
soldiers of Villelas' followed him in the
| retreat. With this small force he fled
| toward La Mon tanita- Small bands
| fed in other directions holly pursued
| by the revolutionists, who killed as
many as they could while fleeing.
When the fight was over all who had
| been captured were slaughtered, nc
prisoners being retained to be cared
for. More than 100 government soldiers
fell in the battle and fully onehalf as
many revolutionists We're killed The

STiFLiNC THE WEST.

During the past nine months there have
been lila failures in the United States,
carrying liabilities aggregatng the enor-
nous sum of 1924 O87,7Gs, but the par
alysis which has stricken the country
under the Cleveland administration of
public affairs is not wholly confined to
the mercantile and industrial field. 1t
has reached out and taken the west by
the throat in q quarter unknown since
the days of the war. The west has always
been proud of its rapid growth as indi-
Gated by the annual report of the COM
missioner of the general land Office. This
year, however, the figures are all against
the west, and Mr.. Cleveland has thus
added another feather to his wreckage
record crown. During the past year
there has been decrease of over 1000
final land entries covering an area of
nearly half million acres of public land
and original entries have fallen off more
than 5000 below what they were the pre-
vious year. This is the style in which
the great and glorious free trade admin
lstration is sitting the west. And the
only consolation to be got out of it at
present lies in the we'll established fact
that it is "a long lane that has no turn"

The SOUTH OWN CuI.PuRSE.

Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania, for so
many years the Republican chairman of
the ways and means committee, predicted
that the south would one day clamor for
protection to cotton. The figures seem
to bear out his assertion. In 1889 there
we're 7,973,039 pounds of cotton imported
into the United States. During the year
ended June 80, 1898, there were imported
into this country 43,3S1 1852 pounds of
cotton, and Great Britain imported
$33,OOO,OOO worth of cotton from
Egypt, which was also the prin-
cipal source of our own imports. It
will be seen how rapidly the competi-
ton is growing against the American
cotton raiser. In few years the only
remunerative market for the raw cotton
will be in the United States. As long as
the south sends 1G0 odd votes solid
against protection how can that section
gracefully demand protection to its prin-

Our Foreign Ministers.

The demand that our ministers shall be
rich and squander money is demand of
vulgar snobbery and of nothing else.
The only qualifications really demanded
are brains, character, knowledge, and
good breeding. With these any man who
is not snob may acquit himself well at
any European capital without spending
a dollar more than the salary allowed.
1t is time to brush away the nonsense
that has taken possession of SO many
minds since few rich men, sent abroad
as ministers, "set the pace" of lavish and
sometimes very vulgar extravaganza
