design by the forcible interference of
neighbors Emmett had been about town
all day, and in the evening returned home
in a drunken condition He and his wife
had an alteration, and the woman fled
from the house. Emmett pursued her into
the street and fired pistol at her at close
range. Then he caught the unfortunate
woman and beat her about the face with
the butt end of the weapon. Two young
men pulled the maddened actor from his
victim and turned him over to the police.
Mrs. Emmett was taken to the receivins
hospital, where she refused to allow her
wounds to be examined. She had a violent
attack of hysteria, and the surgeons cousd
do nothing with her. She insisted she had
not been shot, and said her husband was
too big a coward TO shoot her. There was
a slight wound in her temple, and the po-
lice surgeons said the bullet glanced from
the bone and lodged under the scalp. Baby

HAVANA, June 9.-The steamer Julia
landed a large number of troops at Gibrara
and returned to Porto Rico for further re-
Inducements. Other steamers will also
bring additional troops for Marshal De
Campos. Benito, after widening his opera
tions i'm the direction of Conception, left
Cienfuegos for Guantanamo. From there it
is expected he will travel with a company
of horsemen TO Camaguay.
Marshal De Campos has consulted with
Senor Castellanos, the Minister of the
Colonies, for the purpose of exemptine Cuba
from certain unfavorable terms of the gen.
eral tariff revision.
Lieutenant Censo and Colonel Vassala

mountains The rebels who occupied
strong position were driven from their
strongholds. They lost all their ammuni-
tion, their banner and three dead and sew

wounded.
Autonomst leaders attach no importance
to the uprising headed by Marquis Santa
Lucia He is seventy-two years old, and
when he left Puerto Principe numbered
among his followers only a few young men
and boys. Marshal De Campos is fearless
in his movements, and under his leadership
the activity of the government forces has
been greatly increased. He has just ordered

Louisiana Orange Trees.

We clip the following from the Plo-
quemines Ola Protector:
The orange trees in Pointe allah ache,
so far. show no sign of life and we are
now convinced that they are dead
The damage done to orange trees by
the freeze is much greater than we ex-
pected. We had hope that the trees
were only injured but we have now to
admit that in this section of the parish,
at least, they were all killed.
The editor had very pretty orc hard
of fancy trees, comprising some twenty
varieties of the citrus family, which
yielded us a small crop, last year, for the
first time.
The freeze did it's damaging work
completely and not single tree re-
mains.
Some of the trees were six years old
but Jared no better than the Younger
ones.
The lesson taught by the late severe
cold weather is very discouraging to
those who believed that orange trees
could be grown in Pointe ala Hache
with as litGle risk on the west bank of the
river, although, we must state that even
in the actual orange belt Of the parish,
the trees were badly injured and large
number killed.

CANNING SWEET POTATOES.
Within recent years sweet potatoes
have been canned in few localities. In
1893 factory in Mississippi canned
about 900 bushels, using 3-pound cans,
which sold at Chicago at 95 cents per
dozen delivered A bushel of sweet
potatoes was sufficient for Is cans
Farmers were paid 40 cents per bushel.
This firm expected to can about 5000
bushels Of sweet potatoes in 1894.
Should the canneries now engaged in
packing sweet potatoes succeed in Great
Ing large demand for this product,
sweet potatoes would become profitable
cash crop in many localities where they
are now unstable. The canneries would
also be benefited not only in the direct
profits from canning sweet potatoes but
in being able to operate during greater
number of months, the sweet potato crop
coming in after most vegetables and
fruits have passed out of season.
SWEET POTATOES AS FOOD FOR STOCK.
Only in localities favored with trans
portation facilities and good markets is
the sweet potato sale crop. But as a
food for stock it should be extensively
grown in regions adapted to it. The
roots have been successfully fed 10 hogs,
cattle and horses. For cattle and horses
it is better to slice the roots. Of all
classes of stock hogs can be used to con-
sumo sweet potatoes to nest advantage,
since they do their own digging.

ratus for obtaining it is simple, The
fresh leaves and twigs are chopped up,
mixed with water and boiled. A sort of
roof of thatched straw is put over the
kettle and the steam allowed to escape
through it. The camphor sublimes on
the straw, and is scraped off and saved
By skillful pruning a large quantity of
leaves and branches can be removed
from tree everv year without inJuring
either it's appearance or it's health.
A small quantity of camphor, made as
an experiment from Florida trees, has
recently been sent to Mr.. William Saun-
ders, the horticulturist Of the depart
ment. A large number of Young cam
phor plants are now being propagated
from seed obtained in Japan.

Thy bold discoverer from far DER the main.
Who to thy shores one Sunday morning sailed,
And claimed thee 1rst for God aud nextfor Spain
Ten thousand flowers then his sight RECALLED,
And high his bosom beat with hopes OF gain;
But, worn with toll and sick at heart and liver,
An Indians arrow sent him DER death s river.
NY native land! no foeman ever won
A laurel here where oft thy sons have bled!
Thy virgin soil gives up it's wealth to none
Who seek it with saints or warriors tread.
Thy lovely fountains sparkling in the sun
Restore not youth when once the years fed.
To vain enthusiasts thy treasures lie
Delusive as the hayward butterfly.
Still thou art fair! as spring returns once more,
Again the flower is open to the bee,
Along thy vast expanse of ocea shore
Gay birds warbling and their songs are free;
Soft blows the breeze; the sun3bue skies restore;
Nature revives; the blasts of Boreas fee;
The gentle zephyrs fan the aching brow
OF them who lately grieved, exulting now.
What though the weather and our hearts were
cold
A little while ago. the heat and rain,
The buds of hope and oranges unfold
Time brings balm fer almost any pain.
Misfortune and the ice not long can hold
From their chill embrace we are free again.

Oamphor Trees for Florida.

The far reaching effects of the recent
blizzard in Florida in adding to the diver
slfcation of the vegetation of the State
are becoming daily more and more APP
parent says a Washington dispatch to
the Citizen. Since the freeze, hundreds
OF letters have been received at the
Agricultural Department inquiring as
to valuable plants and trees that might
be substituted for those which were
killed by the frost.
Especially numerous have been the
requests for information as to the posi-
bilities of the camphor tree and for
specimens of it to be sent out. Of the
10000 plants propagated by the depart
ment this year, all but few hundred
have been distributed and many more
are being called for.
Letters from planters IN Florida state
that the few camphor trees already
grown there were in many places the
only non-native vegetation to withstand
the cold.
The camphor tree is species of
laurel, and native of Japan. 1t is
easily propagated from it's seeds, which
much resemble those of the pea. 1t has
been successfully grown in this country
as far north as Charleston, S. G.
AS long as twenty years ago, a few
specimens existed in Florida, but they
were rare and scarcely known. A dozen
years ago, it was desired to find shade

of the State, and it was discovered that
the camphor tree filled every require
ment. The horticulturists Of the depart
ment then began sending out quantities
of seedlings to be used as shade trees.
it not being thought at that time that
they would be commercially valuable.
Within a few years, however, the rise
in the price of camphOr from fifteen to
sixty and seventy-five cents pound, due
largely to it's use in the manufacture of
smokeleSs powder, has changed the sit
uation, and it is now proposed to use the
camphor tree for productive as we'll as
ornamental purposes.
The trees grow rapidly and yield their
camphor at an early age. Every part of

of sweet potato vines at the expense of
the roots A careful examination of all
the experiments on this crop published
by the experiment stations leads to the
conclusion that nitrogen when applied
in connection with phosphoric acid and
potash increases the crop of roots i'll
most instances. From results secured
by the New Jersey and Louisiana Ex
pertinent Stations, it appears that heavy
applications of heterogeneous fertilizers
under some conditions in]ure the quality
of the crop. The sweet potato plant
must have nitrogen; it has, however,
long growing season extending through
all the h ot months, when nitrifaction is
active in soils filled with vegetable mat
ter, and hence it may thrive on such
soils, which contain q large amount of
without the direct application of nitro
genous fertilizers.
The sweet potato f1ourishes on soil
rich in vegetable matter, and hence it is
usual for truck farmers to apply very
large quantities of composted pine
needles, woods earth, etc, to the sweet
potato field. By blowing under legu-
minous plants, as the clovers and cow
peas, large quantity of nitrogen, OBJ
tanned by the leguminous crop from the
atmosphere, can be economically added
to the soil. In an experiment in Della
ware crimson clover plowed under in the
spring very greatly increased the yield
of sweet potatoes.
In most of the experiments on record
phosphoric acid has given some increase
IN the sweet potato crop, an increase
usually sufficient torender profita BILE the
use of phosphoric acid IN combination
with nitrogen and potash. Its employ
ment alone on sweet potatoes is not gen.
erallv advisable.
Potash appears to be the most impor-
tant fertilizer for sweet potatoes. In
the great majority of experiments
it has been profitably employed,
either with nitrogen or phosphoric acid
or alone. In nearly all experiments
complete fertilizec-that is, one contain
ing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash-has largely increased the crop and
is the safest to use until experience has
shown that one of these constituents can
be omitted without loss in any given
locality.
The following formulas are among
those which have given good results at
some of the experiment stations:

Farmers Bulletin No. &c of the De-
partment of Agriculture is devoted to
the sweet potato, it's culture and uses.
The sweet potato has been named as
Florida's greatest crop-a crop that can
always be relied upon and one that never
fails. Anything looking towards the i'm
provement of the product or the increase
OF the yield should be considered with
interest by Floridians We make the
following extracts from the bulletin:
The sweet potato makes it's best
growth on a warm, SANDY, we'll drained,
or even dry soil. Light loans are also
suitable. Recently cleared ground, if
susceptible of thorough preparation, is
suitable for the sweet potato, provided
it is entirely tree from shade. For cold,
compact clay this plant seems to have
an aversion. On southern farms the
sweet potato is too often relocated to the
poorest fields, under the scarcely tena-
BILE, but widely current, opinion that a
rich soil or liberal manuring makes lux
uriant vines at the expense of the roots.
The soil should be of such texture and
color that it will not adhere to and stain
the roots. Clay adheres to the roots and
Injuries their appearance; sand is easily
rubbed off in handling.
Weeds are troublesome and expensive
visitors in the sweet potato field and
hence the crop should follow hoed
crop. An exception perhaps to this rule
is the growth of crimson clover to be
plowed under in April or May as green
manure for the sweet potato plant.
To secure the short, well-shaped po-
tatoes, which the large markets prefer,
it is customary in truck farming regions
with sandy soil to pillow very shallow,
only three or four inches deep. Sitter,
less permeable soils are plowed deeper.
We can scarcely doubt that deep plow
ing on all soils, except perhaps on those
which are very light and loose, largely
increases the yield of sweet potatoes,
whatever it's effect on the shape of the
roots. Hence those who do not grow
sweet potatoes for Shipment can advan
tageously pillow deeper for this crop than
can truck farmers. After thorough
preparation with pillow, harrow, and
roller. shallow ridges are formed and on
their f1attened tops the sets or vines are
transplanted.
The opinion is prevalent that nitro
genous fertilizers stimulate the growth

These formulas probably supply larger
quantities of fertilizers than farmers
growing sweet potatoes for home use alone
and on soil already rich would regard as
advantageous. 1t is believed that to soils
poor in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash these formulas will supply the
fertilizing ingredients In about the right
proportions. To secure the best results
it may often be desirable for the planter
to purchase the materials separately and
mix them at home, varying the proper
