FARMER COLONIES.

Under this caption the Montgomery,
Ala, Advertiser advances the opinion
that there is no doubt that the most
feasible way to settle our agricultural
lands with desirable white families Is
by colonization, and it is right. There
are thousands of intelligent families in
Enc North and West, remarks our con-
temporary, who would come to the
South did they know the great advan-
feges offered to the farmer. The va
Fiety OF agricultural products is much
greater than in the North and West,
and cotton, rice and sugar are money
cfops that can only be grown in the
South. 1t thinks that an agent sent to
Kansas or Nebraska with authority to
offer tracks of 1000 acres to colonies of
400 families, would have no trouble IN
disposing of large acres of land, if sold
on small payments. long time and low

Jnpan's Terms of Ponce.

WASHINGTON, April 10. The cable
announcement that seven of the eight
Japanese conditions have been accept
ed by Peace, Commissioner Ii Hung
Chang is very gratifying to diplomots
here who have no longer any doubt
that q peaceful termination will speedi-
ly result. Misunderstood IN Washing
ton the eight conditions were as fol
lows:
1. Independence of Corea.
Q. Cession of Formosa.
3. Ccssion of Liam Tong Promon-
tory, including Port Arthur
A. War indemnity. XII !.
s. Admission Of machinery into
China and permission to foreigners to
establish factories.
6. Modification Of lilin tax and ex-
tension of system of transit passes for
imports. 55
z. Opening certain Chinese rivers to
commerce, including the Yang-tse-
Kiang to Chung King, the Slang from
Han Kow on the Yang-tse to Slang
Tan Kiang, Canton River to Ouachow
and Woosung and its canals as far as
Suchow and Hang Chow.
8. Railway privileges and similar
capitalists.
In addition to these conditions it is
believed certain promises have been
will be exacted from China, tho terms
of which are to remain secret The
condition which, it is thought, has not
yet been accepted by Ii Hung Chang
is that numbered three above, provid-
ing for the occupation of portion Of
the territory known as the Regents
Sword and Citadel of Port Arthur.
That this would be most strenuously
opposed by China has all along been
undoubted, and it has been predicted
that it might prove stumbling block
Of such dimensions as to prevent peace
unless some compromise could be
agreed upon as to the length of occupa-
ton, the Chinese being likely to insist
that it should not be permanent All
other conditions, except that of indem-
nifty, have been the subject of diploma
tic consideration for many years, and
all treaty Powers are as deeply inter
ested in them as Japan has been. The
United States have been particularly
active in urgiffg the abolition Of the
likjn tax, which is not unlike the oc-
tori of France, though less reasonable
and less limited than the French sys-
tenn. The independence Of Corea has
always been in contention, and the
United States have firmly maintained
that Corea was to be treated as an in
dependent nation since her minister at
Washington was recognized ten years
ago.

cate has been formed in the United

SAVING SEEDS.

Millions of dollars are paid out for
seeds in this country very year, because
a supply is not saved from home gar
dens, says c. s. Shelby in Farm News
For years we followed the practice of
saving seeds for our own use and we
found it pay in two ways. It saved the
expense Of buying new supply every
year, and gave US a chance to SOW seeds
of varieties that were adapted to our eli
mate and soil, which is a matter of i'm
portance. We tried new varieties every
year in a small way, but our main crops
were always such as we knew would do
well with US, and by this practice we
never ran risks OF failure by having
planted seeds that were not adapted to
our surroundings. Many times a very
meritorious variety in one place is of no
value few hundred miles away, and in
this way many times garden is a par
tial failure.
In saving seeds we did not save the
flag ends of the crop for seed, but Sc
lected the earliest, perfect specimens and
let them mature for seed for the crop
next year. In tomatoes We selected the
best formed specimens that ripened to the
stem and did not crack when mature and
kept them for seed. In saving seeds OF
parsnips we selected the Seed from the
central whorl only, rejected all from the
side stems, and for a good many years
we grew seed in This way, and the last
were as good as the first. Part of row
of peas would be left to mature all the
pods, instead OF having the first ones
picked off for use. This would give Us an
Opportunity TO select the best for seed
and save the variety from deterioration.

of the other vegetables grown were treat
