GREAT EXCITEMENT IN MADRID.
Cabinet Meeting Expected to Dis
the Situation.


Madrid. Dec 1t. = The decision of the
United States senate committee on foreign
relations to report Senator Cameron's res
olution for recognition of Cuba has caused
a great sensation. The newspapers enlarge
upon the significance OF the joint resolu-
ton compared with the concurrent resolu-
ton and reproach the government, Aspe-
cialy the Spanish minister at Washin ston
for having been overconhdent The min
listers here decline 20 talk on the subject.
1t is expected a cabinet meeting Will be
held tomorrow to discuss the situation
A foreign official in interview oiay
with a representative of the Associated
Press said while the government regrets
the action of the senate, 1t does not think
a collision with the United States will fol-
low, as the time elapsing before the house
can adopt the senate resolution will serve
to calm the hasty thinkers of the United
States and moderate the noisy patriots of
Spain, who viii doubtless indulge in much
the same kind of talk as the jingoes in
America.

Beet sugar Kss New Mexico

That the so-called arid states of
the West are bound to become great
sugar producing states has long been
held by The Planter, and the inan-
guration of the great beet sugar fac
tory at Lehi, Utah, where irrigation
was first applied to beet culture in
the United States, was but the be-
ginning of what we believe will
within few years constitute an in
dustry the magnitude of which will
reach far beyond the anti.ipations
of any of those now familiar with it.
The city of Eddy, in New Mexico,
is to be the scene of the second ex-
pertinent in beet sugar manufacture
from beets grown on irrigated lands,
From the Pecos Valley Argus we
learn that the sugar factory now
constructing there is progressing
quite rapidly; that the building is
about rooted in and the machinery
is being rapidly placed in position.
1t is expected that the new factory
will be opened for operations in
November, beginning with capa-
city of 225 tons daily, and as a
large number of the farmers in the
vicinity have already undertaken
the cultivation of sugar beets, it is
thought that in its second season
the factory will have more beets of
fered to it than it can possibly con-
sumo without further enlargement.
The Roswell Register reports that
one farmer in that locality has 700
acres of beets under cultivation for
this factory.
The sugar planters of Louisiana
hail with satisfaction the advent of
these great sugar factories in the
Western states, believeing that with
their combined influence the sugar
producers of the whole country will
he enabled to enforce upon the at
tention of our national Legislature
that consideration of the sugar in
dustry that will tend to its legiti-
mate and rapid development, and
the production by the United States
of their own sugar.-Louisia.na

Measuring Land.

Make light and straight pole
164 feet in length, and mark feet
and half feet On one side, and on
the opposite side divide the 164 feet
into spaces representing the length
of links in the chain of surveyor,
says good authority. A survey
or's chain is 66 feet in length, con-
tanning 100 links. Hence a pole
1911 feet long would be equal to Is
links. A link is 1852 inches in
length. With dividers one can in
dictate % equal spaces or links on
one side of the pole in a few min
utes. Let the pole be oiled or
painted, and be kept under shelter
where it will not spring by being
exposed to alternate rain and sun
shine.
Now, in order to measure an acre
of land, multiply the number Of
rods Tor the lengths of the pole) on
one side of the plot by the number
Of rods on the end of the plot, and

should be thoroughly drained if it
is at all liable to become water
soaked, no matter what kind of a
floor is used; and where there is no
danger from understanding the
earthern floor has many advantages
over one of wood. The top soil
should be taken out and clay or
sand filled in until the surface is
six inches above the surrounding
level, and this should be firmly
packed by beating it down with a
heavy weight.
Such floor is better for the fowls
because more natural for them.
When it becomes foul it can be cas-
lily renewed by taking off the top
of it and putting in more clay or
sand. Lice cannot find a refuge in
an earthern floor, as the dust is fa-
tai to them; while, if the floor is OF
wood, the cracks make an excellent
hiding place for them.
If the cost were the same | would
choose a we'll made earthern floor
to any other that / have ever seen.
The houses in one of tie most ex-
tensive poultry establishments in
the West are all of them made of
solid clay. Disease is hardly known
about that place, and the foul odors
that are SO often present where
wooden floors are used are entirely
absent, because the earth acts as a
deodorizer and disinfectant.-F'Grm

FARM Notes.
Notes for Beekeepers.

If any colonies are queenless
unite them with others.
In uniting, it is always best to
take away all but one queen.
See in good season that every COL
ony has an abundance Of feed.
All combs that are built by bees
naturally contain too much drone
comb.
Foul brood is very contagious and
will spread with great rapidity over
an apiary.
Keep the brood in the center of
the hive if possible and the honey
on the outside.
Never allow a swarm of bees to
remain long after settling; hive
them as soon as possible.
AS long as bees have abundant
room in the brood chambers to work
they will not go into the surplus
boxes.
A queen bee lays both fertilized
and unfertilized eggs, alternating
from one kind to another in rapid
succession.
Bees may be increased very rapid
ly by spreading the brood combs
and placing empty frames of combs
between them.
In the heat of the day, when the
air is full of them on the wing, is
the best time to work with bees.
After dark is the worst time.
In arranging the frames in the
hive, the best and newest combs
should be placed in the brood nest,
and not on the outside. for surplus
honey.
Comb honey is easily damaged.
The greatest pests are moths. If
they are allowed access to comb
honey, they will soon cut the cap
pings and destroy its appearance
Curing honey simply means a
proper evaporation of water it con-
tains. This is accomplished in the
hive by high degree of tempera-
ture, and can be done outside by
maintaining the same conditions.
Every colony should have 25 or
80 pounds of good sealed stores to
bring them through to the first Of
May, with good Winter protection
besides. It is far better to have a
little too much stores than too lit
tie.
Colonies that lack stores for Win
ter should be fed the required guam
tity in the Fall, and September is
the best time to do it. 1t should
be done while it is yet warm enough
to allow the bees to seal the stores
over.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes
become suddenly depleted in num-
bers, with not enough left to keep
up the necessary warmth to hatch
the eggs. This is because no young
bees have been Matched, and the
old ones, superanuated, left the hive
in search of food, and were not
able to return.
