PUMPKINS ARE EXCELLENT.

Pumpkins are excellent food for
cattle, hogs and chickens. Such a
change of 'diet is beneficial and profit
able in toning up the system and saw
ing more solid and costly foods. They
can be grown very cheaply, for one
field will produce crop of corn and
pumpkins at the same time. The Con-
necticut field pumpkin is especially
adapted to growing in corn, and there
is nothing to prevent every farmer
having so to LOO and more loads every
year. There Is little extra work in
planting them just few days before
the corn is plowed the first time.
When they are mature, haul out to
the pasture or hog lot and break while
unloading. Either hogs or cattle will
eat them and it will surprise you to
see the quantity consumed and the
benefit derived.

AN APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
Aid Implored For Thousands of Flood
Sufferers,

Washington, April G. 6.-Me6srs. r. c..
Graves and j. S. Menken. representing
the citizens relief committee of, Mem
phis, Tenn, organized for the purpose of
relieving the people of the flooded tri-
butary territory of that city, have ar
rived in the city.
They have prepared the following
statement, which they will submit to
the President:
From Marion. Ark, north of Mem
pills., to Greenvills. Miss, there are
now at least 80 towns and villages under
water, and teri litory extending from
100 miles north of Memphis TO 200 miles
| south and five to 40 miles wide, is su b.
merged and devastated by the food.
Hundreds Of thousands of acres of culti-
vated soil, with growing crops, are in
there are from 30, 000 to 60, 600 people
whose property has been destroyed ana
whose business has been suspended
thereby. Tie amount of damage to
property is Invaluable. In addition to
the growing crops which have been de-
stroyed, thousands Of head of working
stock and of cattle have been drowned
and starved.
"The great majority of the sufferers
with the present crop destroyed and their
working STOCK and farming tools swept
| away, are utterly destitute and unpre-
| pare to tegin work again, even after the
| floods have subsidized.
"The extent Of the suffering has grown
beyond the capacity of the local au-
| thorities and of tile private local ohsri-
ties to relieve. The citizens' relief com
mittee Of Memphis are now caring for
| from six to seven thousand refugees
from the flooded district, and they are
still arriving by boat loads every day
In addition to this, large supplies of
provisions are heing sent to various
points in Arkansas and Mississippi,
where it is possible for the refugees to be
cared for. The utmost thar can be done
| by these efforts is to measureably and
temporarily relieve the present suffering.
"The committee has found it very
difhcult and very costly to reach por-
tion OF the sufferers living IN the In
terror who can only he REACHED by
skiffs, operating with light-draft steamers
that can leave the main river. Mem
for about 200 miles north and south, it
nece ssarily has necome the place OF re-
fuge for ali soaking 20 escape the food
in that territory.
"This food is the greatest and most
destructive that has ever devastated the
Mississippi valley, the water being Is
feet higher than the highest stage il has
ever reached before.
"The relief committee are thoroughly
organized for the purpose of distributing
supplies to the people of the tributary
territory, and are willing to do every
thing in their power to that end but
have almost reached the end of their
| resources, and reluctantly confess their
inability .. to cope with the situation
without obtaining relief from the gov
ernment.'
Representative Carmaok, who repre-
sents the Memphis district in the House,
also signs the statement and says his
| information by wire and letter from the
ovsrfowed district Is entirely in acord-
ance with that made by the committee.

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Mr.. BaJfour and Mr.. Harcourt Discuss the
Cretan Question,

London, April Gin the House of
Commons, today, The government leader,
Mr.. A. j. Balfour, first lord of the treas
nry, replying to the question of yesterday
by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
opposition leader, as to whether the gov
ernment would give day to discuss his
(Sir William's) motion for an address to
Her Majesty, praying that the forces of
the Crown be not employed against
Greece or Crete. said that as there was no
word in the motion expressly condemn
ing anything the government lad before
announced Its intention of doing. he was
forced to the conclusion that Sir William
Harcourt's object was not to raise u
direct Issue, and th at it would be in the
interest of public business to give the day
suggested. (Louo cheers from the Con-
servativrs.)
Sir William Harcour then said that
Mr.. Balfour appeared to have entirely
misconstruoteo the intention OF the
motion. While he, the speaker, could not
describe the motion rs a vote of censure,
he explained that there has been such a
thing as a vote of want of confidence in
what the government anticipated as
likely to be what 1t would do. The
motion, he continued, asks the crown
not to allow it's forces to he emnloyed
against the Crstans and if carried, it
would be restraint upon the govern
rnent's action, If 1t proposes to so employ
the forces of the Crown Further it was
the duty of the opposition to record its
view of the present situation, 40 far an
the infor nation given by the government
is concerned, he said:
We hold there is no justification for
the employment of the Grown forc= 8
against Greece and the Cretans, and we
challenge the governments policy on this
point" Loud opposition oheers.)
Continuing. the leader said: ''It Is
necessary to do this Immediately, because
ii after the Easter recess we may find the
country embarked in war with Greece
without any declaration having been
given to Parliament of the objects of the
hostility. From this point of view this ia
q motion of want Of confidence. cloud
cheers
Mr.. Balfour pointed out that the terms
OF the motion were studiously ambigu-
ous. CONTINUING he said: eve have
stated explicitly to the House, and BY
our action have shown we ara prepared
to use the forces of the Crown to resist
certain of the insurgents of Crete and
we have announced the objects for which
we are prepared to blockade Greece as
the honorable member (Sir William Har-
court) did upon a previous occasion.
(Cheers.) The honorable members needs
only to modify his resolution SO as to
condemn one or the other of tbesa acts,
the first of which we are actually doing
at the present moment, or these which
we have announced our intention of do
ing in certain CONTINGENCIES ia direct
iasne will be raised by the parties in the
House. Unless The honorable member is
prepared to thus modify his motion there
10 no other course open to be adopted. /"

the Press from Larissa, ThessRly, says: !:
The Celebration of the anniversary of
Greek Independence evoked wild demou-

to late hour tonight no outbreaks had
been reported, although a mob sur
rounded the palace OF Prince Constan-
tin her this evening and olamored vigor-

guard had to be increased
to control the crowds.

council of officers with The prince was
held tonight, at which the official leaders
of the army insisted upon an Immediate
declaration Of war.
The first serious demonstration was at
the close of the service held this morning
celebrating the national birthday. The
solemnity was broken suddenly BY tre-
mendous and continued cheers of "hurrah
for war;" In which the best known mill
tary men and civilians joined unanimous
ly. The prince showed his disapproval
plainly and quickly, as the cheering did
not cease, he abruptly left the church, It
seems tonight safe to say that either war
with Turkey or local uprising ON the
Macedonian frontier is certain.
