Remarkable Decree.

CARACAS. Jan. S.-President Crespo
his issued remarkable decree Off
cially recognizing the existence of the
revolutionary movement. He says that
in view of the fact the country is or
the verge Of an international conflict.
he regards it as not a revolution, but
as treason. Then he cites the section
Of the penal code declaring the rea-
son. He asks the presidents of the
different states to ratify his action,
and he viii also ask congress to act. It
IS believed Crespo's decree is aimed es-
pecially at Guzman BlancO or Ro1as
Pail, who are supposed to be treating
with England in the interest Of the
rebellion. The penal code says any
Venezuelan conniving with a foreign
government against the independence,
the institutions or the sovereignty of
the republic. is guilty Of treason. 1t is
reported that the leaders of the re-
bellion will be executed as the decree
asks for authority to inf1ict the death
penalty. which is forbidden in Vene-
zuela except in time Of war or on oc-
caSiOns of imminent peril.

is severely commented upon and lead

A profound sensation has been created
by issue of order prohibiting com

American citizen, Schimma, the agent
Of the Red D line at La Guarara
Captain Delanoa, of the Red D
steamer Philadelphia, made a protest
to President Crespo this morning
against the order. He said it stopped
work on the vessel The president re-
that he would try TO except Ameri-
cans. There is no official charge
against Schimma. Something serious
is brewing. but rumors are vague as
to its character. The situation is
ALARMING.

English officials were arrested by

CARE OF FARM IlIPLE,rEyrs.

1t is deplorable to notice the glare of
waste that is seen everywhere as one
passes through the country. Careless
farmers have their mowers. binders.

fields to take the weather unprotected.

mountings of the handsomest, in one
winter of exposure, will have become

WAITER STORAGE IN RESERVOIRS.

To build a reservoir, lay off the
ground designating the location of the
embankments. I. L. Discern suggests
in the Farm and Home that the best
size for windmill plant is 100 feet
square. Build the reservoir on the
highest ground and if this should be
on sod. it should be plowed and re-
moved; if the sod is left and the en-
bankments are built on it, it will
create a seam for the water to seep
through. If there is sod on the inside
it should be removed. 1t should not be
used for constructing the banks, but
it may be used after the banks are
completed for sodding them on the in
side. Plow the inside and with com
mon ship scraper move the soil on to
the banks, making them . feet high
above the level of the ground outside.
1t will take about or 10 inches of
earth from the inside to make the
banks. Make u feet wide at the bot
tom or base of the slope and slope up
ward. drawing it from both sides un-
til the bank is left about 3 feet wide at
the TOD, which leaves a convenient
walk
The slope may be left nearer per-
pendicular on the outside than on the
inside, as there are no waves on the
outside to wash the banks, While on the
inside they should be as sloping as
possible and the more so, the less the
waves will wash them The inside of
the banks may be lined up with slough
grass or any tough sod which will be
a protection from washing or cutting
away. 1t can be done cheaply and viii
make the banks look neat and clean
Labor IS all it costs to do this; it will
also assist in preventing the seepage
of water through the banks Brush
laid loosely along the banks and
weighted or staked down helps to
break the waves. But where stones
can be had to riprap the inside it viii
pay to do it and is better than any
other plan yet known TO preserve the
bank, and make necessary less re-
pairs to keep it up afterward.

open furrow between the rows In this
furrow early corn is planted, the ground
being again well feruliZed in the hill.
The potatoes begin TO mature in May.
and as these are gathered second plant
ing of corn is made in the rows from
which the potatoes have been taken. In
the digging OF the latter, the early plant
ed corn is given a good working. By the
time the second planting is ready to pillow
the first one has matured in roasting ears,
and the stalks are cut up and fed
to live stock, or cured and stored for win
ter forage. The ground upon which the
first crop is grown is now opened again
with the pillow, the second planting given
a good working, and a third corn crop is
planted between the two-foot rows, d
good manuring in the hills being given as
before.
When the second planting of corn comes
into maturity and the roasting ears and
stalks have been harvested, the ground is
ploWed again, and in the rows where the
second crop OF corn grew IS planted q
second crop of Irish potatoes, in burrows

planting is usually made early in Septem-
Der, the crop maturing in November. The
third planting of corn comes in as late

gathered as before, the ground is again
fertiliZed and plowed, and turnips are
sown between the potatoes. This crop is
ready for harvesting in December-thus
making six crops in one year. three of
corn, two Of potatoes and one of turnips.
