GREAT BRITAIN ACTS.
Two Warships Arrive at Cor
into, Nicaragua,
TO ENFORCE INDEMNITY DEMAND.
The United States Will Await Develop
ments-A Belief That No Attempt VIII
he Made by the British to Secure Any
NIcaraguau Territory.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Nicara-
guam minister has received cablegram
from his government, announcing the
arrival at Corinto, Nicaragua, of two
British, warships, with the expressed
purpose of enforcing the demands con.
tanned in the British ultimatum. Just
how this is to be done, the minister was
not informed. The indications now are
that Nicaragua will offer passive re.
sistanoe TO the British demands for
some time at least. and meanwhile the
United States will do nothing but await
the developments of events, unless the
British take some action that effects our
purely selfish interests, such as inter.
fering with our shipping, or other inter.
ests Of American citizens.
This attitude is assumed in the full
confidence that no attempt will be made
by the British to secure any Nicara-
guam territory, no matter what course
she may be obliged to pursue to accom-
plish her purpose of collecting the
"smart money" demanded for the ex-
pulsion of Vice Consul Hatch. There
is reason to believe that not only the
Nicaraguan affair. but the whole sub
ject of the extent of the protection to
be extended by the United States to the
sister republics of Central and South
America has been very earnestly and
deliberately discussed by the president
with his full cabinet, and that the atti.
tude as assumed in the case of Nicara-
qua, may be taken as an indication of
the line of policy to be adopted for the
treatment of all questions arising be-
tween the European powers and these
republics, having such basis as the
present Nicaraguan incident.

Trench srstem For Potatoes,

The trench system for field culture
is thus described by Rural New Yorker
The land is carefully plowed and then
deeply furrowed three feet apart the
object being to get wide furrow with
mellow soil at the bottom. This may be
done with an ordinary plow by going
both ways in each furrow.
Potatoes are cut to two eye pieces,
medium size ones cut once through from
end to end. These pieces are dropped in
the burrows about 10 inches apart and
covered, say, two inches deep by har-
rowing along the rows or working with
q cultivator with the shovels attaobs cd.
The furrows are gradually filled as the
potatoes grow through the soil. Level
culture is followed, aiming to keep the
surface soil thoroughly stirred all
through the growing season. The pota-
toes usually follow corn, and at least
1900 pounds Of fertilizer per acre are
used. Broadcast at least half Of this and
spread the remainder in a space two
feet wide over the burrows after the
seed pieces are covered

quickly slipped off and worked upward
and downward few times before be-
ginning to pump.
All the parts are made of fat iron
one-eighth inch thick by three-fourths
inch wide and can be made by one
having facilities for cutting such iron
and drilling holes to fasten it together
The parts are held together by short
stove bolts. The dashers are fastened to
the rod by screw passing through it,
In the adjustment Of this apparatus to
the barrel, the pump must be brought
near enough to the end of the barrel to
allow of the full sweep of the pump
handle, and the rod (A) fixed to the
handle SO as to give full sweep to the
elbow (B), that the dashers may be car
ried forward and backward to their full

The great difficulty experienced by
everybody who sprays in keeping spray
ing liquids in suspension has led Pro-
fessor s. T. Maynard to experiment ON
an automatic agitator, with the result
that one has been made that will keep
any liquid fungioide or inseoticide
thoroughly agitated.
This contrivanoe, as illustrated by
Rural New Yorker, is made for use with
the barrel lying on its side and consists
of an arm CAY Of fiat iron eighth inch
thick and seven -eighths inch wide, at
taohed to the handle Of the pump and
entering the barrel about six or eight
inches from its head This arm is at
taohed to an elbow (B), with arms 9
inches in length, which is fastened
into socket about inches in length,
that is bolted to the head of the barrel
at G. At the lower end of the elbow
is attached short arm (D) which is
joined to the long arm that carries the
dashers or agitators (E). This joint is
necessary in order that the dasher may
lie on the bottom of the barrel, and to
be lifted up at every stroke of the pump

POOR CARL BROWNE.

Carl Browne had better go to work and cease
to attempt to exist on nOnsensical nortorety.
He began couple of cases against some Mas
sillon policemen and then wanted them dis
missed, to be tried, however, at his convent
ence. The justice of the peace very properly
refused to allow such proceedings and when
the case was called Carl was there, but minus
his attorney. On the stand he refused to
testify and although in contempt of court the
justice let him of and at the same time dis
missed the defendants, after Carl had paid all
costs.
Some kind benevolent institution ought to
take Browne in charge and assume care of
him so that he would not infiict himself on
the public. He is now bound for Washington,
for which reason, no one knows or can guess.

The studies Of The American Agri-
culturist's potato tests give some inter
esting points. While the reports from
farmers who raised big yields show wide
difference in the quantity of seed used,
upon one leading point there is great
unanimity among all growers-viz: The
careful selection of the potatoes used for
seed. In every instance fair, smooth,
handsome, well shaped potatoes were
chosen. Not always were they large,
but they were always of uniform size
and weighing usually from six to eight
ounces each. In one case 26 bushels used
in seeding an acre were selected from
a choice lot of 80 bushels Of fair, .mer-
ohantable potatoes. The range in the
amount of seed used was very great
from 8 to 66 bushels, the average being
21% bushels. The amount of seed used
in preparing for the three largest yields
reported were, respectively, 26, SO and
1917 bushels. A curious thing about this
seeding is that in the first instance the
crop was 974 bushels, in the second SAT
and in the last 73S bushels Another
curious fact is shown by a further study
of the returns. In New York planting
of 40 bushels of seed yielded crop of
AL bushels, and in Maine seeding Of
but 10 bushels gave yield of 537 BUSH
els In this last instance the potatoes
were all cut to one eye, and the seed
ends and stem ends discarded. Every
thing points to the fact that we want
high bred potatoes for seed, as much as
we want thoroughbred animals for
breeding, and the same care in selection
should obtain in the one case as in the
other. By all means reject understood,
imperfect, badly shaped potatoes for
seed, says American Agriculturist.

A Word About Ducks.

In mating one drake to six ducks
will be sufficient, says one authority.
They should be in good condition. but
not too fat. Duck eggs hatch remarkably
we'll. They require four weeks to incu-
bate before Matching. Give the setter q
warm, clean nest, free from lice, and
give her good care, and you will have a
good hatch. The day you expect the
duoklings to come out do not disturb
the mother, she will prefer to remain on
the nest, and if she had plenty Of food
and water the day before she will not
suffer by it. When you think part of the
duoklings are out, gently remove the
mother, take out shells and replace the
mother. Let the duoklings reI-Ain with
the mother, as they will need her vital
izing heat.
