The minister of foreign affairs in the
new Rudini cabinet is of ancient lin
cage. Seventeen cardinals and two
popes have distinguished his family in
the past It is one of the oldest feudal
families of the Roman campagna, and
has its name-Caetani, or Gaetani-
from lands gained A. D. 981, in the ter
ritory of Gaeta. It's first pope was
John of Gaeta. who, in 1118 became
Gelasius II. Its second pope, Bene-
detto Gaetani, was the Boniface VIII.
who upheld the extreme temporal
claims Of the papacy, against French
prosecutors.

1t is said that a patriotic American
who travelled down to Greece to wit
ness the exploits of the yankee ath-
Ietes in the new Olympic games recog-
nized among the throngs a man who
was once the object of good deal Of
attention-none other than Catacazy,
Russian minister to Washington in
1924. His quarrel with Minister Fish
and the half-suppresed scandal of his
conduct during his ministry made him
for a time the most conspicuous man
in Europe. He is now living in al
most penury in the land of his fore
fathers

Mention was made a short time ago,
In Farm burrows" of a process by
which to manufacture artificial maple
syrup for home use, which was scarcely
to be distinguished from the genuine
article. The process consisted of boil
ing clean corn cobs in water, and then
using the water with a nice article Of
ordinary sugar to make a syrup. The
flavor was said to be so close a re-
semblance to that of maple sugar that
an expert could not detect the differ
ence. According to the current num-
Der Of the Mirror and Farmer, there are
two parties in Ashburnham, Massa-
chusetts, who manufacture this kind
of maple" syrup for sale. A CORE
spondent Mr.. NJ. Wetherbee,s who re
ports the fact that he has tasted the
mOlasses and finds it quite pleasant
with strong maple taste. The parties
to whom he refers are reported as SELL
ing very considerable quantities of it.
It is quite apparent that there is some
process for manufacturing artificial
maple molasses, for it has been years
since it was possible to buy any in the
groceries with any assurance of getting
the genuine article.

five acres last season, and in the March
report of the Kansas state board of
agriculture ne tells how he did it, as
fellows: "The portion of my crop Civ
ing yield of 104 bushels of husked, well
dried C1fty-six pounds, shelled) corn
per acre was five acres of fifty-seveD I
planted last year. My land is slightly
rolling prairie and about fair average
Kansas soil, with a hard, impeTvious
subsoil The five acres mentioned
were at one end of a twenty-fve-acre
field, part Of which had been in pota-
tees for two years. and the last crop
dug with a listing pillow late in October,
which was about equivalent to a deep
fall blowing. In spring the ground
was much like a bed of ashes. 1t was
then deeply plowed, made fine and
smooth with a plank drag and drilled
for the first week in May with a
Farmers Friend" planter of medium
width, with a deep-grained, yellow
Dent corn; about the same quantity of
seed was used as would have been If
from three to somewhat less than four
binary distance apart This was cuI--
tivated four times with common gang
Cultivators and hoed three times-the
last hoeing after it had been finished
with the cultivators. I am a strong
believer in deep and thorough cultiva-
ton, and long since learned that a
good crop of corn and a rank growth
II nd ySSr
Weeds can not occupy the same ground
at the same time. l have not sub
soiled for previous crops, but last fall
invested in Perine subsoiler and used
it on fifteen acres. [ intend planting
100 acres in corn this season, and aim
to have it all SUBSIDIZED. Am subsoiIing
my fields the narrow way first (they
are from forty to eighty rods wide and
120 rods long, as deeply as four horses
can do the work, at distances of two
and nalf feet. Will then throw uD
the ridges cross-wise this with a
listing pillow, following it IN each fur
row with the subsOiler as deep as three
horses can pull it, and drill the seed
Immediately in the track of the sub
soiler. This will leave the land sub
soiled in both directions My whole
crop for 1895 averaged only f1fty-seven
bushels per acre, yet would have made
seventy-five bushels, but for an I'M
fortunate invasion just at the critical
time by AN army of chinch bugs from
an adjacent thirty-acre field of oats.
With proper treatment of soils, and
thorough cultivation, am of the opin-
ion that in all favorable seasons such
as last, we should raise from seventy
five TO one hundred bushels of corn per
acre instead of twenty-five to
fifty bushels. I am always careful to
avoid cultivating when the land is very
wet, and think many farmers make a
serious mistake by working their corn
when the soil cleaVes from the shovel
in chunks. The sun is likely to then
bake the ground and the growth loses
its bright, healthy green and turns
sickly yellow" &C.

To sharpen the disc, break off an old
file about three inches in length and
grind it to very short bevel like a
chisel at each end, the bevel being
about fifteen degrees. Get a piece of
hard wood about two and one half feet
long, one end Of which is like the crotch
OF an old-fashioned boot-jack. Meas
ure from this the same distance as half
the diameter of the disc and cut
fnortise through it in which the blade
made from the old file is to be put and
held in place with a key. To sharpen
the Else, take off the seat and lever
turn it upside down, put a crank on
one end Of the shaft, ADJUST the bed so
as to take shaving off when it is
wanted, and with helper, turn the
crank, you holding the sharpener.
There is no necessity for paying S. for
a machine that will do no better work.
If this device is patented I am not
aware Of it. Make one, use it and lay
it away and if anybody comes along
claiming, a royalty, bid him hit the
road,

Castrating and docking should be
done as soon after the lamb is a week
old as possible. Never use a freshly
ground knife for the work, as this is
cause of bad results in many cases.
Saturate the wound with Oil of tar
after the operation is performed, and
do not wait for the sign" Remember
that any time after the lamb is a week
old will do if sharp knife is at hand
In docking, the tail should be severed
very close to the body, because the
sheep will present a better appearance
when it gets older.

A Dig in the Ribs

Lightly and jocosely given is no
formidable matter, but when a con
stant unelsiness beneath your ribs
on the right side intimates that
your liver is out of order, you are
not to be enyied. This sensation is
also accompanied by yellowness OF
skin ahd eyeballs, a mouse colOred
fur upon the tongue, sick headache,
nausea and other uncomfortable
indications. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the remedy of all others,
and should be resorted to without
delay. Constipation and dyspepsia,
concomitant of liver trouble, are
also remedied by this unequalled
regulating medicine, which the re.
cords OF nearly half a century, the
commentator of eminent members
of the medical profession, and the
daily experience of the invalid
world stamps as the first Of its
class, In rheumatism kidney and

The following strong truths are
from Dan W. Jones; eve cannot
much longer provide tor our wives
and children with any degree OF
comfort, with the value of proper
ty growing less every day. Whoey-
er would have this state of things
exist is no Democrat, no lover of
his tellow-men, no matter what he
may call himself, aud no such men
should be allowed to participate in
the councils of the Democratic par
ty, or be trusted with its comms-
sion for any purpose whatever. y

1865, our national debt was ", ,375,- =

Hurrah for Sandersonl

While at Richmond last Monday,
We heard a probable candidate say
that if a certain element would
nominate him he would enter the
race for Sheriff. To enter the race
is all he would do. Sheriff Sander
son will doubtless succeed himself.
His equal as an officer Is vet to be
found in this county.-Ashdown

We are glad to hear good reports
from Sheriff Sanderson, for he W, s
raised right here in Texarkana; and
when we come to think of Hiram's
father while in life, and his clever
brothers here, we are not surprised
Bit at him carving name for
himself in the Sheriff s office. We
hope he may ever retain the good
name and standing the Herald has
given him.

CITY PRIMARX ELECTION.
A Light Vote POlled Up to the Hour
of / D. m.

This morning opened up cloudy
and chilly, and had depressing in
iuence on all but'the candidate and
the morning was passed quietly.
An occasional carriage rolled up
and down Broad street, with the
different candidates names dis
played, on banners flying from the
horses sides.
There were few bets being made
on the result-in fact we do not
believe there has been any money
put up on the result.
We do not give speculative re-
suit as to who will be nominated, as
the opposing candidates may deem
1t unfair to make estimates before
the polls cease.
The total number of votes polls
up to this time, l o'clock p. m., is:
Ward One, 30; Ward Two, 6l;
Ward Three, SO; Ward Four, 10
Total-169.
The following well known business
men were selected and put on the
ticket for Aldermen, and there
being no opposition, nor'could there
be any objection to any of them,
they will all receive a full vote:A
For the First Ward, 7. W. Dunn,
and Joe Huckins, Jr. Second Ward,
]. T. Owsley and F. W. Mullins.
Third Ward, W. ]. Burhman and T,
A. Brewer. Fourth Ward, W. A.
Barrow and c. G. BreaSher
1t is thought that the total vote
in the primary for the city will not
reach over 25O or 27t.

CUBA.
Congress Passes on the Bel
lrgerency Resolutions.
THE D0NS MAD.
They Tear and Trample the American
Flag in the Dust and Say Death
to the American Yankee.
THE D0NS MAD.

There were two hundred and six
| ty-three votes in the House for the
resolution, declaring a state of war
existed in Cuba, and recognizing
belligerency for the Cubans against
I sixteen on the other side.
This gives the Cuban patriots the
right to buy war vessels and arms,
enlist men, from these shores, and
such other advantages as a 'bellig-
erency carries with it.
When the news was telegraphed
to Madrid, the Spanish Dons be
came angry, made a kinds of talk
and threatened to tear down 'Old
Glory" from the legation building,
which was prevented only by a
strong Spanish guard being thrown
around it by the high officers of
the city. Finding themselves
blocked in this, they bought the
calico flags such as We decorate
with here, and tore them up in the
streets, and tramped them in the
mud.
We are not expecting war with
Spain, but should it come we will
be there, as many thousand strong
as they will, and it remains for us
to say that when the ball is opened
and the game ended, the United
States will have a Spanish scalp
dangling from its belt, and will also
have a little island on its hand
called Cuba, and a big war account
against Spain, which will take years
for it to settle.

the conclusion that 10 per cent of
the deaths in that state are caused
by tuberculosis, or consumption,

these are ascribed to infected meat

RAVANA DOTS.

Another Flint or two this morning
as the weather seems pleasant and
the peach trees are beginning to
bloom.
Mr.. S. ]. Lowe, IN the Enon
neigh0orhood, has planted one piece
of corn lands about all that |
have heard of so far. He may think
that he will get ahead of the Ra-
yana boys, but if he comes out
ahead he will have to watch after
that corn closely.
Capt. W. T. Bond is gong ahead
with his building here. He will be
postmaster here and our mails will
be sent and received regularly from
this place General Manager Viii
lidms will soon put in platform fer
us that we may receive and ship
goods therefrom
We would like to join in that ex-
cursion to Shreveport, but as our
little city rs not yet recognized as
shipping point, we shall have to
wait patiently to clear our streets
off and make ourselves worthy of
notice, not doubling in the least
that every man shall be rewarded
according to his works. Taking
this view of the matter, we feel
that our labor is not in vain.
During this year we expect t)have
a gin and mill in operation at this
place, by Levi Blakey, an energetic
and'tboroughgoing, good man.
There is some fine lands lying along
both sides of the State line, and
the Line Greek bottom; they are
valuable, and a fine place for those
seeking good lands for farming pur-
poses. The water around Ravana
is good enough; so much so that we
feel in hopes that there will be no
need OF intoxicating drinks ever be-
ing sold at this place; to the con-
trary, lets have good school and
encourage peace and good govern
ment.
Capt, w. 7. Bond will build a res
idence soon, and locate his family
here, which will be the right man
in the right place; first as citizen,
as we feelin him that we have a ia.
ther in society--and he is no Pop,
either, but a prop,
Many are talking of planting
some corn, while others think like
the almanacs, that there will be
some cold weather yet.
Now, Mr. Editor, | have just dis
covered that have been penciling
flints on the wrong page. AS flintS
are very often aimed right, but miss
the mark, | thought that would
throw a small rock at John Yates,
up in the Euon settlement, for try
ing to show out farming, but Dave
Taylor, iDee Peck, and A. j. Better
ton, down here at Ravana, will soon
show him how to turn the dirt over;

by F. E. Spooner as the leading

cheap prices, they cannot be put
down as barn stormerS" tor they
are not, butihave considerable merit
and a talented company. The Opera
House was filled to the last seat last

and chairs were brought and placed
in the aisle to accommodate the
crowd, and still they poured IN

house. We saw one gentlemen come
in with an empty box and he had
great difficulty in getting to the
front, but he finally made it and
took his seat thereon amid storm
of applause for the victory he had
won in securing a seat.
Miss Spooner sang many of the
fad songs and was each time given

work was good.
