OUR BROTHER DEMOCRATS.

Stephen Cleveland must have been
projected upon this planet by the fates
to scourage the Democratic party.
"Whom the Lord loved He chasten-
eth" only no stretch Of imagination
would be capable of rounding up any
love the Lord might have for such a
party. Cleveland. as is known has been
identified with the sugar trust ever
since he got through with the Wall
street syndicate which floated his bond
issue for an eight million dollar mar
gin. The Democratic party now wishes
that he had held on to his Wall street
combine, or otherwise so busily inter-
ested himself with the Spreckles sugar
trust as not to have found time to de-
liver that New York speech. The
Democratic papers concluded by neg
lecting to comment upon it that it would
soon be forgotten. But they reckoned
wrong. The words of that speech turn
up every day in some way, somewhere.

DecIduOus Fruit.

The Pacific Rural Press expresses the
opinion that the southern part of the
State has not yet done itself justice in
the growth of deciduous fruits. 1t says
there is better general understanding
and practice of the art OF high-class de-
ciduous-fruit production in Central
than in Southern California, and refers
to several leading directions in which
this is manifested.
First, as to the moisture. The Rural
Press says there are some places at the
south where this matter is properly adj
justed naturally or otherwise, but there
are many more where deciduous fruits
have been oversupplied through the
attempt to regulate them upon the irri-
cation schedule which BELTS the citrus
fruits, or where they have suffered
severely from drouth, either because
the grower determined to grow them
on his dry land, or because he had an
idea that it was never right to irrigate
deciduous fruits. The San Francisco
Journal says;
1.-THE results have been twofold
either the fruit has been excessive il
size, then in juice and deficient in firm
ness and flavor, or it has been under.
sized, leathery and insipid. Such ex
tremes are due either to excess or lacl
of moisture, and both are fatal to q
high-class article. The adjustment o
moisture supply to the characteristic
needs of deciduous fruits is as fine
problem in irrigation or cultivation, o.
both combined, as is found in the APP
plication of these agencies to citrus
fruits. The south has not given atten
tion enough to these matters.
Secondly, as to pruning. This, it il
claimed, is not adequately appreciated
by the majority of southern growers
The same remark applies to thinnin,
fruit, and to care in gathering an,
grading.
These remarks are timely, and de
ciduous-fruit growers would do well t,
study them,

GERMANY CLOSELY WATCHED.
Her Interest in the Philippines Due to
Selfish Motives,

Paris.-People here and in London
are wondering why Germany is collect
ing such strong naval force off Ma
Mia. With the arrival there of the
battleship Kaiser she will have four
warships in those waters. There is
complement OF sixteen hundred men
on the. vessels alone in addition to a
force OF fourteen hundred men to be
dispatched to Cavite ON the first of
next month by the North German
Lloyd transport Larmstadt. This has
attracted public attention. Dispatches
from Berlin recently disclosed dis
position on the part of Germany to par
ticipate in sharing the cake won by
American pluck. 1t is felt that Ger.
many may try to prevent change in
the ownership of the archipelago unless
she receives some compensation in the
shape of naval base.
On the other hand England's inter-
ests lie in seeing that Germany does
not score without an equivalent adj
vantage for her, There is decided
disposition to Cry Hands off, Ger
many ELSidlu lOOkS Calmly AT the
possibility of America retaining the
islands.
The increase in German influence in
the far east, however, will be combated
against energetically, and complica-
tions will result. Japan is said to
covet a concession in the Philippines.
This desire is not regarded favorably
either in England or Germany. The
former is said to contemplate the dis
patch of naval forces to the Philippines
to restore the balance of power of
Anlgo-Saxon influence there.
What, however, comes out clearly, is
that Spain need not cherish the hope
of profting by German interference.
Should there be any it will be purely
selfish. Spain's sovereignty there is
universally felt to be over. The only
satisfaction she is likely to get will he
to see European nations snarling at
one another, all through the American
victory,

TELL OF SPANISH euTcHERIEs.
Immediately After War Was Declared
Paicficos Were Slain.

Key West, Fla.-Lieutenant Colonel
Augusti Arana, Major Salo and two
privates of the Cuban army have arrived
here from Pinar del Rio with dis
patches for the Cuban Junta. They
report that the health of the Cubans in
the field is excellent, but their food is
scarce. The Spaniards, they say, are
10000 strong in that province, but
Spain is withdrawing her soldiers to
Havana.
Colonle Arana, who is the chief Of
staff OF General Pedro Diaz, says the
Cuban forces in the province of Pinar
del Rio number about 5000 men.
The insurgents hold the north coast of
the province from Bahia Honda to Cape
Antonio. They also hold the entire
south coast, and their mounted for
tresses have never been wrested from
them. Maceo's potato farms have been
kept in cultivation and in the hills in
the southern part Of the province are
herds of cattle guarded by men spe-
cially assigned to this duty. He says
that Immediately after war between
the United States and Spain was de-
clared the Spanish guerrillas in Pinar
del Rio province went through the
country butchering the pacifcos,
women, children and old men, whose
bodies lie in the roads and fields UNI
buried to this day.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
RuraIist
SPOKEN OF In THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
Agrieulturist.-Items That May
Benefit our Readers.
Seeds for Distribution.

In the purchase Of seeds for distri-
button the coming year the Department
Of Agriculture has been authorized by
Congress To adopt a method which is
calculated to bring dismay to the souls
Of careless or unprincipled seed dealers.
A standard Of purity and termination
has been announced for the varieties
Of seeds in most common use, and in
stead of advertising and buying by
contract subject to test, as has been
the custom, the department proposes
to 90 into the open market and buy,
and If the seed so purchased is not
found up to the standard TO publish
the names OF the firms who supplied it.
AS no dealer need know when a sale is
made for whom the seeds are intended,
the principal seedsmen Of the country
will necessarily be compelled to be par
ticular as TO what they offer to any
body. We do not know the condition
of the seed trade in Eastern States, but
in this State it is very bad, and COM
pels the most careful gardeners to send
orders to eastern seedsmen of estab-
lished reputation which it would be
much more convenient for them and
more profitable to our local trade to
have filled here. We have the impress
sion that things here are not so bad as
they were, but the bad reputation ac-
quired by our seedsmen in former years
cannot be lived down very soon. The
standard of the department requires
that all seeds offered for sale shall be
absolutely free from the seeds of the
following! Smut, bunt, ergot, ms ects
or their eggs or Larvae dodder, wild
mustard, wild flax, Russian thistle,
Canada thistle, cookie chess, quack
grass, penny cress, wild oats and wild
onions, and must not contain more than
per cent of all other weeds. The
standard for termination is not quite
SO severe, but Is placed high enough to
assure seed OF good quality if main
tanned. The seeds are tested for germi-
nation by planting certain number of
counted seeds and counting the sprouts
obtained. The minimum standard
ranges from 40 per cent in the case of
blue grass to 80 per cent in buckwheat,
turnip and similar easy growing plants,

is not improbable that transports now
engaged in the Santiago expedition will
be utilized. This will depend, how
ever, entirely upon the aspects OF mill
itary affairs as they may develop in
Eastern Cuba.
The Secretary of War has sent notice
70 Fernandina,. Fla, to prepare for the
coming of a large body Of troops. 1t is
said at the War Department that the
special board which inspected Fernan-
dina found the proposed camp grounds
so suitable by natural conditions and
surroundings that several thousand
troops could be accommodated there
il it were necessary to institute the
camp at once. The department calcu-
lates that the grounds will acoommo-
date 10000 troops when all prepara-
tions are completed

cialty Of handling storage butter say
that it requires two weeks at least after
the cows are turned into the pasture
before the butter is good enc ugh to put
away. Fresh grass butter is soft bodied
and slushy.
The term bacteria in reference TO
milk and cream does not mean dis
ease Of some kind, az many suppose.
IL is simply term used in specifying
the changes necessary in the manuiac-
ture of butter and different kinds Of
cheese. By some it is commonly called
seeding for the growth OF the desired
flavor.
1t is a well known fact that the com
fort of any animal has great influence
on its general health and thrift. Com
fort in summer is as important as com
fort in winter. The animal that must
hunt almost night and day for scanty
supply of fool, that is exposed to the
burning sun and tormented by flies
cannot be said TO be enjoying summer
comfort.
We learn from high market author
ity that the use of parchment paper is
TO be more general this year than ever
before. In all the large markets parch-
ment lining is required now. II for no
other reason the added neatness which
parchment paper gives a butter tub
would make it popular. But it does
all that is claimed for it and the de-
mand for its use will continue to grow.
To specially illustrate the value of
the right kind of feeding, President
Mathieson of the South Dakota State
Dairy Ascension, makes the following
statement which came under his OBJ
servation: A neighbor of his who has
herd of fifty common cows of mixed
breeds, but one who is a careful feeder,
received in cash from the lansing
creamery last year $50 per COW for
milk delivered.

ACTIVE SERVICE DEFINED.
A Decision of Great Importance TO Army
q Officers.

Washington Secretary Alger has
rendered decision of great Importance
to army officers, in which he holds
that men serving within the limits of
the United States at time when there
is no foreign army within said limits
are not operating against an enemy, I"
Notwithstanding the existence of war
conditions. The case upon which the
decision was based arose in connection
with the claim of some officers who had
exercised higher command than their
grade, and who contended they were
entitled to the pay of the higher grade.
The Paymaster-General maintained
that the troops were not operating
against the enemy until they had
actually left the shores of the United
States, and in this he is upheld by the
Secretary. The Secretary has decided
also that for the purpose OF restricting
assignments to command under section
7 OF the volunteer army to competent
authority" such authority can be
exercised only by the Secretary of War
or by the commanding general of any
army operating against an enemy"

General Rabi Achieved an Important
Victory at Accerraderos.
Washington.-Th work OF the Gu.
bans in reinforcing the marines at
Guantanamo and particularly in occu-
pating Accerraderos has received UNI
stinted praise from officials both ADJ
ministration and Cuban. Mr.. Queseda
said that the Cubans had not seen fit
to reply to the criticism current dur
ing the last weeks as to the Ineffective
ness OF the Cuban soldiers, as they
knew the criticisms were due to the
ignorance of the careful plans, largely
matured at Washington, by which the
Cuban forces were to execute their part
of II well-considered programme.
but now that the Cuban flag is
floating over Accerraderos, said Mr..
Queseda, "all criticisms are answered
1t is about fifteen or twenty miles west
of Santiago and is the port for the great
iron and copper mines of that vicinity.
1t should not be COMPOUNDED with
Aquiredos, another suburban town to
the southeast Of Santiago. 1t Is even
more important from strategic stand
point than Aquiredos, as it has excep-
tional landing facilities.
The achievement of General Rabi
in making forced march from Bayamo
is characteristic of the military genius
OF that officer. He is chief of staff to
Garcia and has the rank of General
of a division, which is midway between
Brigadier- General and Major General.
He is about 40 years of age, tall, thin
and muscular and knows no fear. He
takes pride in the fact that he is partly
OF Indian descent and he has the
natural fighting capacity of an Indian,
He made q name for himself during
the last Cuban war and soon took high
rank when the present war he led the
Spanish forces to Saodel Indio. Caca
Gao and Peralejo, where he met Gen
eral Rabi with Cuban army much
smaller than that of Campos. But il
each of those engagements Rabi out,
generated and defeated Campos, the re
cognized military genius of Spain. 1
led Campos himself to declare that il
Rabi he had met soldier worthy o
his best efforts.
General Rabi had with him abou
1000 men in this last action, Will,
Garcia is coming up with 5000 to 600l
more Cubans. The march of Rabi cal

and tangled tropical vegetation through
which he pushed his way from Bayamo

Glover for Fowls.

Glover is not only more suitable for
summer food for poultry, owing to it's
bulky nature, compared with corn, but
it is also more nutritious, as it con-
tains a greater quantity of the SUBJ
stances required for the production of
eggs. The lime for the shells is pro-
duced when in a soluble form in the
food, as it must pass through all the
stages and processes of digestion, and
the more soluble the mineral elements
the easier and more completely they
serve the purposes OF the hens. Clover
hay contains over 80 times more lime
than does corn or wheat, and the green
clover, though containing more water,
is comparatively as rich in lime as the
hay. Glover is also heterogeneous food
and supplies the elements necessary
for the albumen of the egg. When the
hens have access to clover they will eat
a large quantity during the day, and if
insects are numerous their wants will
be fully supplied.
