A Tough PreIacy.

A journey of nearly TOO miles
through the bush was necessary for
the new bishop of Mashonaland, South
Africa to reach the center of his do
cese. and he says: ut was very
rough journey, with scarcely any
sleep and little food. On Sunday after
noon, after many hours travel in
choking dust and heat, we rested for
an hour at wayside shanty of poles
and mud. Prospectors were lounging
around, and one man had put on a
clean shirt, but ali were hearty and
glad to see the bishop. I expect that
l was the only bishop in the world on
that particular Sunday, sitting astride
q plank cutting slices of 'biltung' with
my pocket knife and washing them
down with digger tea out of a billy, a
sort of tin pot which prospectors

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Potatoes need great deal of water,
particularly during the development
of the tubers.
All who have no greenhouses may
SOW seed in boxes in sunny window,
or make frame AMI keep it in
sunny place. Keep it sheltered dur
ing the cold by a covering of cloth
and boards.
The crabapple is not only beauti-
tul tree when in blossom, but itg
fruit is superior to all others for pro-
ducing jeIlies and preserves. 1t is
very hardy and bears a crop when
other varieties fail.
The farmers garden is generally
too small, necessitating too much hand
work which never gets done. 1t is
planted too close in order to econo-
mize space. 1t should spread out and
give the horse room.
Professor Roberts estimates that the
value of the manure produced on a
small farm carrying four horses,
twenty cows, fifty sheep and ten pigs
during the seven winter months
| amounts to about $3.50.
Securing heeces is gaining favor
with Western growers. They find
they can't sell soil for wool and are
getting tired of paying high freights
for dirt that can be left at home. 1t
is sure to come with free wool.
Some precautions in Introducing
sheep into new surroundings, where
they are expected to remain and null
tiplv, should be considered at this
time; a time when the sheep business
is being reconstructed AMI adjus ed to
suit the new conditions confronting
the industry.
Grating one kind of grape on an
many cases. In the grating of the
Delaware on the Ives Seeding the
Delawares produce crops where they
before failed, and excellent success
has also resulted in grating the Con-
cord on the Ives.
Sheep that are not we'll fell through

MINISTER MURUACA'S ACTION.
A Report That Spain Declined to Accept
His Resignation.

A Report That Spain Declined to Accept
His Resignation.
A cablcgram from Madrid says: "Senor E.
de Muruaga, Spanish Minister in Washing
ton, cabled his resignation on March IA. The
Minister Of Foreign Affairs refused to &C
cept it,
When copy of the Madrid despatch saying
that he had rendered his resignation and that
it had not been accepted was shown to Minis
ter de Muruaga, at Washington, he shook his
head disapprovingly.
II shall neither affirm nor deny its correct
ness" he said. 81 have nothing to say for
publication
Notwithstanding the Minister'S reticence,
it is officially known that the statement con-
tanned in the despatch Is true. About
week ago La Discussion, a daily paper pub
lished at Havana, contained statement that
the Spanish Government was not salts
fed with Minister de Muruaga's admins
tration. The article went on to say that
it was purposed by the Spanish Government
to succeed him, and that should this not be
practicable he would be relieved by an Ad-
miral of the Spanish navy.
Minister de Muruaga, it is understood at
once cabled the substance Of this article to
Madrid, coupled with the declaration that if
it were true he would telegraph his resigna-
ton Immediately. On the following day a
reply from the Madrid Foreign Office was
received by Minister de Muruaga. The dis
patch contained the announcement that his
Government was we'll pleased with the Min
isters work in Washington and desired him
to remain.

raspberry, and by selection and
culture bred up one of the most profit
able raspberries we have had. But
now the Doolittle is out of date Tho
Wilson strawberry has had the same
history, and the Crescent is now likely
to go the same way. 1t has been said
that the introduction OF the Early
Rose potato has been worth millions
to the United States; but in our part
of the country the Rose has nearly
run out, and so far We have had moth
ing to take its place.
Whence does this degeneration
come? The answer is easy to find.
In the case of the Doolittle, people
planted them, and when these went to
brush thickets they took the worth
less tips to plant other rows. so WITH
tho Wilson and Crescent strawberries.
People have been IN the habit OF tax
ing puny runners from old foot-trod-
den beds, until the varieties have
dwinllel away. Just now, in these
parts, the Gregg is the popular rasp-
berry. There are plantations Of an
acre or go planted fo- the fruit. In
the spring the owners offer tips Tor
sale. These tips have rooted them
selves late in the fall, and are about
as large as dogs foot. The result Is
that the Gregg is becoming worthless.
| I had occasion to take up some Gregg
tips in clods to fill few vacancies.
They would fill peck measure. These
will make plants that will improve the
| variety rather than run it out.
But a fact or two to illustrate the
above assertions. One OF the best
strawberry growers for many years IN
Wisconsin planted only the Wilson,
from which he gathered 500 bushels
per acre. Besides proper prepare
ton and fertilizing of the soil, he al
ways kept rich bed OF young plants
from which to get plants to renew his
paintings. People have planted the
small and worthless Early Rose pota-
toes and grown them on worthless
soil among weeds until the variety has
run out. The tree pedlers of the West
| buy up thousands Of cheap strawberry
plants dug from between the rows OF
| old beds and deliver these to Gus
| toners.
l have been growing small fruit LOT
twenty years, and have found that
there is no need TO let plants run out.
| Those of US who IRE up to the true
methods make the land as rich rs pos
sible, and set out plants, both OF
strawberries and raspberries, from new
beds. During summer these rows
have the best of cultivation. In the
spring the plants are SO large and
thrifty that they astonish persons who
have been accustomed only to plants
from old beds. Instead of taking
late-set runners from old strawberry
beds, we dig up the whole row. In
this way we get plants that have grown
in mellow soil and had all summer in
which to make their growth. The re-
suit is that the plants do not run out,
but are, instead, continually being
improved. Rural New Yorker.

MANAGING THE HOTBED.

To make the hotbed, select a warm
location, excavate six feet wide,
twenty-four inches deep and the de-
sired length. Set stakes at each half
board length and enclose tightly. The
north side should be twelve to eight
cen inches above the surface of the
surrounding ground, the south side
six inches. A layer Of partially fer
mented horse manure and half its bulk
of dry leaves should be packed tight,
filling the bed two-thirds full. Put
on the sashes, allow to ferment, tread
it down and put in about six inches of
soil. After the glass is on, let it stand
two or three days. Put IN ther mom-
eter. If the heat of the bed rises
above eighty degrees do not SOW till
it goes down. More seeds are lost by
the first heat of the bed than in any
other way.
would not advise farmer in this
latitude to SOW before the middle of
March. Lettuce and radishes will be
the main crop. Sow q little space in
cabbages, another in tomatoes, per-
haps few peppers, elephants, etc.
Get your seed at some good seed
house. Do not SOW q mongrel, some
thing your grandmother handed down.
Sow early scarlet radishes, Extra
Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage,
Dwarf Champion tomatoes, anu Ruby
King peppers. Radishes should be
sown in rows six inches apart. Lettuce
the same, but broadcast the other
seeds. AS fast rs you SOW firm the
soil by laying broad plank OH it and
getting on top of the plank. Make
the bs.l very smooth and even. Now
take your prepared soil AMI cover the
seeds oue-half inch. I sift it on.
Cover the bed with old carpets OF
papers and put the glass on. Do not
let that soil see the sun for two days,
then remove the carpets. Do not lei
the ther,l ometer get over seventy five
degrees under the carpet. Keep the
soil moist all the time, never muddy.
Keep the temperature near seventy,
five degrees in the day and near fifty
five degrees at night. Cold currents
injure warm plants as we'll as warm
men. The more air they get the bet
ter. Air them every day, if only fol
a few minutes. Close the hotbed.

CLEANLINESS IN THE POULTRY YARD.

CLEANLINESS IN THE POULTRY YARD.
Again aud again it must be insisted
Oh that poultry needs clean quarters.
Every once in while we hear OF some
dealer, usually beginner who is quite
sure of everything, losing a great
many fowls. One man, writing lately
in Pacific Coast paper, says he lost
several hundred fowls by not taking
proper care Of them-letting them
have filthy water to drink and i'll
smelling houses to sleep in. The
water should be in such receptacles
that they cannot touch it with their
feet, and should be changed twice a
day, morning and noon. This is my
own practice, and l might add that 1
have found common water pals about
the best thing to use. Also, l have a
swab, made out of cloth tied on the
end Of broom handle, with which
sweep out the pals each time l refill
them.
As to cleaning out the houses, per-
haps the best rule in this: do SO the
hour your nostrils ere in the least
offended when you enter them. This
means about once IN five days, with
me.
Do not try to doctor sick poultry;
it does not pay. Your time can be
more profitable employed in taking
better care Of the we'll creatures.
Roup, perhaps the worst of oil the
diseases hens are heir to, can be cured !;
but my experience is that my time is
far too valuable to give ten minues a
