KEEP THE CULTIvATOR GOING.

Far too many farmers consider that
one or at most two civilizations are all
that are needed in the corn, potato and
other fields. No greater mistake could
be made. One misses half the value Of
the crop by ceasing cultivation soon aft
er the plants begin to grow. The cult
vator should be kept running between
the rows every few days until the
plants get too high to admit the horse
and cultivator going through the roWs
safely;j but Of course as the plants in
crease in size, and the roots begin to
stretch out across the space between
the rows, cultivation must grow shall
lower and shallOWer, so as not to
disturb root growth. 1t is the surface
of the ground that needs stirring, for
this destroys weeds, lets in the sun
light and warmth. and greatly helps a
crop to withstand a lack of moisture.
This manner of saving a crop from the
Injurious effects Of drOuth is not SUtfi-
GENTLY appreciated by farmers One
can take crop through severe
drouth with less than half the loss he
would otherwise incur.by this constant
stirring of the surface soil.-New Eng

such Was the Departure of the Spanish
Troops for Cuba.
The Seventh Regiment, battery OF altil-
lcry and two companies of infantry sailed
from San Sebastian, Spain, for Cuba, and
Judging from the local newspapers, the de-
parture of the troops was made the occasion
of 4 vast popular demonstration OF patriot
ism and Of a determination to wipe the re-
bells of the face Of the earth. According to
somewhat belated private advices from the
scene, the newspaper accounts do not fit the
facts. which Is not surprising seeing that
they had to be submitted to the censor before
publication. Previous to the review the
Bishop Of Vittora celebrated a religious
service in the open air, on the magnificent
Iurrlola Promenade, but the effect was con-
siderably spoiled by bowls, sobs and Other
demonstrations OF grief by women and chill
of Span, made no pretense to the possession
OF Spartan spirit. Then followed march
past the Queen Regent and little King. The
latter was in a cadets uniform and saluted
the troops as they passed with prccocious
gravity and dignity. His appearance GER
tainly aroused good deal of popular en-
thnsiasm, but it evaporated rs soon as be
disappeared from the scene. AS for tho
troops themselves, they made no pretense
whatever OF enthusiasm They had been
forced to the cnlors and looked as If they
were unwilling conscripts sent to fight and
die without compensation or glory. After
the march past they were huddled off to
the forts on the heights dominating the
town. Triple guards were on duty through
out the night to prevent unprecedented de-
sertions, and in the morning the detected
soldiers went aboard the transport with the
air of men going to u funeral.
