FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The farmer who makes the dairy his
main business rather than an adjunct
is The one who will turn out the best
product and produce the most profit
and satisfaction.
Farmers who tried the experiment
last year of growing clover by seeding
it on land unoccupied by wheat or oats
(giving the land entirely to the clover)
report very favorably.
1t is believed that prices of horses
will advance in the near future. There
are indications that the bottom has
been reached. A slight decrease, as
compared with last January, is given
by crop reporters. The feeling among
growers of horses and mules is some
what more hopeful. The necessity for
the consideration in horse breeding is
generally acknowledged.
Potatoes do well enough in bins or
barrels, which should be kept covered
to exclude the light, as the top ones
soon turn green and become bitter and
unfit tor use when exposed to 1t. Onions
need only to be kept dry and not piled
too thick, as they are inclined to heat
when many are placed together. When
spread thinly on boards in fairly dry
cellar they will keep nicely.

CAPT. DREYFUS' CASE.

Ct is Declared to be One of the Most Ter
Eible Judicial Errors in Modern History.
PARIS, March IA collective in
JURY has been made at all the military
bureaus of the powers, the result being
an opinion that conviction in the case
of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, who was sem
fenced to transportation for life for
treason in 1894, was one of the most
terrible judicial errors in modern his
tory.
Dreyfus is now confined on the dreary
Isle du Diab1e, one of the desolate
group known as the Salvation islands,
which are part of the French posses
sions in the southern Pacific.
The specific charge was that he had
sold to Germany for 500, 900 francs in
formation regarding the French
army. The proof offered was a
letter, without date or signature,
said to be in the handwriting
of the accused, containing a list
of five other documents relating to
secret details of the French service
and said to have been sent with it.
The wife of Capt. Dreyfus has been
unremitting in her efforts in his be-
half. She made a powerful appeal to
the pope, and caused an inquiry to be
made which developed that no such
sum as 500, 900 francs was found to be
unaccounted for by any military bureau
IN Europe.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Keep gasoline tightly corked to pre-
vent evaporation, and avoid using it
near lamp or hot stove.
The best eomfortables are filled with
lambs wool batting, which is very light,
and much warmer than cotton.
Old, thin underfannels, too far gone
for other use, may be cut into tiny
pieces with which to stuff cushions and
soft pillows.
The woman who goes without house
keepers paper in these days wrongs
herself and her family. Enough may
be saved by its hints and helps to more
than pay the cost.
While gasoline may be a source of
danger if handled by needless persons
or those unaccustomed to it's use, we
must not forget that it fills an impor-
tant place in domestic economy.
1t is not true economy to buy the

PEACE AT ANY PRICE.

Any Terms So that Spanish Honor Is Com
served-Latest Instructions to Weyler-
The Csptain-General Said to be Em-
powered to Try Bribery. Proffer Auton-
omy or Even Offer to Sell the Island on
Guaranty Bonds.
CHICAGO, March IA special to the
Record from Havana, March 10, says:
From information received can an
nounce positively that Capt.-Gen. Wey-
Ter has had orders to seek Gomez and
to offer him whatever terms are neces-
sary to end the war" The details are
unknown, but it is believed they extend
all the way from autonomy to the sale
of the island to the Cubans 1t is said
Spain will grant anything to obtain
peace with honor before the new con-
gress takes hold. This, of course, will
be denied, but it is known positively
that it is true.
At banquet at the palace last night
Gen. Weyler said publicly the war
would be over in three weeks. He
leaves at noon tomorrow for Villa
Clara, where large bodies of troops
have been rushed for the last two days
for the purpose of seeking Gomez and
to make terms of peace. The steps
leading to this result are interesting.
Gen. Weyler returned to Havana
on the 9th inst, and reported to
Spain by cable. He admitted that
Gomez and GARLIC had crossed his lines
and were now west of his forces. He
explained that he had tried to negotiate
with Gomez, but the latter had refused
to treat with him, and would only treat
with Campos, and that for independ-
ence.
1T is believed, he added, that the
situation was desperate. He asked for
orders. Meanwhile it is whispered
that Dupuy de LONE made worse
reports to Spain concerning the
temper of the new congress
which will meet on the 10Th.
He said even Cleveland had been
scarcely able to restrain the last con-
gress. This one wall be worse. He re-
ferred to Cleveland's message of posi-
BILE intervention, and said Mckinley
would probably think the time had
come. He certainly was not so friend
~ to Spain as Cleveland had been. He
declared that something must be done
soon.
Gen. Weyler received long dis
patch on the Sth. IL was OF such
character that he declared it
would end the war in a month.
It ms tructs him, it is said, to
renew his efforts to secure peace.
He must try enormous brides. That
failing, he is to offer autonomy. IF that
is refused, he must even offer to sell
the island to the Cubans on guaranty
bonds. He must make peace on any
terms almost, before congress has time
to act. If he fails he will be recalled.
Meanwhile the United States must be
kept quiet by successive releases among
those imprisoned
