Aeour SWEET POTATOES.

Comments by Prof Price. of the Texas
Experiment. Station
There is great confusion IN the nom
enclature of the sweet potato Its foil
age varies from round and entire to
split or lobed, while the flesh also varies,
when lobed, from dry and mealy to soft
and mushy. The latter cases have re-
ceived the name of "yams" in the south,
which has helped still further to in
crease the confusion in the markets as
well as among growers. This excellent
vegetable deserves to be brought out
of this confusion in nomenclature, as
it's culture is rapidly extending north

Get the butter in good condition as

IN each jar can readily be kept Pack
the jars level full, tie round piece of
strong. thick cloth over the top and
place it bottom side up into Il new, large

only those jars that can be filled at one

loads made up from 80 to 125 bushel
baskets, and still the loads are not re-

to do more work than four horses, and
with much more ease.
On the old roads two men and four
horses, with wagon weighing 1000
pounds, could take two and a half tons
of produce to market and bring back
an equal amount of fertilizer, making

PANIC STRICKEN sPANIARDS.
The Yellow Fever is More Fatal than
Cuban Bullets.

The latest advices from Havana,
tell of great panic there among
the troops.
Yellow fever is raging in the
camps and over 40 per cent of the
army is stricken down.
In Santiago de Cuba there are
1900 soldiers in the hospital. Many
OF the officers are down. The ply.
sicians are unable to cope with the
disease.
The epidemic is also very serious
along the trocha dead line.) In
some cases. entire companies are
stricken down. In Baracoa, HOl-
gran and other places in Eastern
Cuba, the fever is raging with great
virulence, and it is spreading to the
central points. From Mantanzas
comes most distressing tales. In
that city it is said the mortality is
about 90 per cent, and it is becom-
ing difficult to bury the dead. The
hospitals of Havana contain nearly
600 patients, and every day the
number is being increased. Friday
45O sick soldiers were brought IN
from Pinar Del Rio province.

Order From the Bridge Misunder-

The battle ship Texas. which left the
north Atlantic squadron yesterday after
noon. for the purpose of getting q supply
OF torpedoes. struck bottom while coming
into the harbor at Newport at $50 o'clock
and ran hard and fast. She resisted all
attempts made by the tug Aquidnick to
dislodge her
+ The place where the vessel struck Is al
most directly opposite the torpedo station.
The Texas left the north Atlantic squad
ron after the Massachusetts had left the
harbor and Joined the other ships When
she reached the harhor the tide was rum
ming out strongly and was at about half
ebb"
The first warning the officers had Of the
danger was a slight shock just forward
of midships. Capt. Glass at once ordered
the port anchor out. The hook held firmly
and the ship gradually swung broadside
on the beach. She was firm and could not
be moved so as to make the least Roadway
by means Of the anchor The ebbing tide
left her a fixture for the night at least.
Capt. Henry Glass and Lieut.. D. J. Kelly
were both on the bridge and neither sup
posed the water at that point to be so
shallow.
An examination was made at once. and
1t was decided to send for a tug. with the
tide below half ebb. five fathoms Of water
were found under the bow and about the
same depth under the stern. AS the tide
fell, the bow began to appear above water
and last night was out of water. The
stern was on a line with the water. All
