shared. curiously enough, by the Jews.
With the wedding. which was per-
formed by his majesty, the funeral
celebrations ended, and every one made
haste to forget the departed Prince
William Henry George.
Such are the king of the Mosquito
coast and his people, as Mr.. Sandman
has learned to know them during a
long residence. The king, as has been
said, is fully recognized by the British
government, as also by Spain, France,
Holland and other European powers
having colonies in the West Indies
President Diaz of Mexico also dubs him
king; and even his suzerains. the
people of Nicaragua, admit his SOW
ereignty. The only nation which re-
fuses to style him anything more than
chief of the Mosquito tribe" is the
United States Yet there is no nation
which the king respects more than
ours His present prime minister is g
Louisianian, and he is particularly
! friendly to visitors from the land of
Uncle Sam.
The kings heir. according to English
records, is his eldest son. Prince Robert
George Augustus. This young man
promises well. He has been educated
by the Moravians, and is not addicted
to any of the ancestral vices of the
Handy dynasty. In appearance he is
more Indian than negro. and it may be
that the old glories of the Mosquito
nation will be revived under his rule.
AT present he is living in British Hon
duras, where he has married a white
woman of respectable German parent
age. The king owns a. gaudy coat of
arms and crest, which were designed
for his grandfather by Patrick Walker,
the Scotch-Irish prime minister of that
potentate. The arms read heraldically:
Azure, behind a mosquito rampant sa-
BILE, the setting sun in splendor, over
a hill vert The crest is "a mahogany
tree, proper" The supporters are an
Indian chief in full war paint, and an
English sailor. And so the last re-
naming American king dwells peace
fully, if barbarously. in his little realm
on the Caribbean sea. where his far
away ancestors ruled supreme long be-
fore Columbus came from CASTLE.
Surely he is as much of a monarch as
any of the petty German princelings
who lay claim to and are accorded that
dignity in the pages of the Almanack

Government Reservoirs.

senator vest has introduced a reSolu-
ton of vast Importance to the west and
the Mississippi valley, calling for an
inquiry in regard to the needs of con-
struction of reservoirs in the Rocky
mountain region by the government.
The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That the committee on
commerce is hereby instructed TO make
full examination and inquiry as to the
following questions, and report there
on to the senate by bill or otherwise on
the first day of the regular session in
December next:
First-What are the causes of the
disastrous floods in the Mississippi riv-
er and its tributaries, and how can
such floods be prevented or diminished.
Second.-If such floods result TO
any extent in the destruction of tim
Der upon or near the headwaters of
said river or its tributaries, what meas
ures should be adopted to prevent such
destruction, and whether reservoirs to
hold tie water caused by rain or the
rapid melting snow on or near said
headwaters should be constructed to
prevent the foods caused by the sud
den precipitation of the rain or snow
water into the streams flowing from
the regions where the source of
the Mississippi and its tributaries are
located.
Third.-Whether said reservoirs if
their construction should be deemed
necessary for the purposes set forth,
could be utilized for the irrigation of
arid lands in the vicinity of such reser-
voirs.
Fourth.-Whether the outlet system,
by which it is proposed to furnish av-
enues through which the water OF the
Mississippi river can escape in times OF
flood, is practicable or eXpedient.
Fifth-Whether the present system
of improving the Mississippi and the
Missouri rivers. under which it is now
sought to confine the waters within the
banks and deepen the channel, should
be continued.
Sixth.-What has been the effect
upon navigation and commerce of the
jetties of the mouth of the MISSISSIPPI
river, and what is the present condi-
ton of said jetties and their future.
Seventh-Whether the Mississippi
and Missouri river commissions should
be continued in existence, and il con-
tinued what amendments should be
made to statutes creating such COM
missions, and defining their duties and
powers.
Eighth.-What legislation is neces-
sary TO prevent the enormous destruc-
ton of property by floods in the Mis-
sissippi river and its tributaries, and
what amount of money should con-
gress appropriate for the establish
ment and maintenance of systematic
improvements and safeguards for said
purpooc.
That said committee shall have the
power to prosecute its inquiries
through ub-committees. which may sit
during the recess of the senate at such
times and places as may be thought
necessary. with power to send for per-
sons and papers, and to employ stem
ographer, the expense of said commit
tee to be paid from the contingent fund
of the senate.

Growing Melons by Irrigation.

Frank Crowley in Field and Farm:
The watermelon delights in a light
sandy soil, while its companion, the
cantaloupe, succeeds best on 4 clay
loan, or at least a heavier soil than
the former. Both 90 best on new land.
and as this is about all exhausted that
is under irrigation in Otero county
some plan of renewal must be adopted.
We are having very good success by
allowing the land to produce a crop of
corn every other year, but it seems
the best results will be obtained by
blowing under alfalfa sod and growing
two crops of melons in succession on
the same land. The ground for melons
should be irrigated during the winter
or early spring, SO that when plowed
and narrowed in April it Will hold
moisture long enough to bring I'D the
plants.
The seed should be planted early in
May, or after the soil has become warm
enough 10 hasten termination. The
burrows for irrigation are made before
planting and should be run in the di-
rection the water will run most readily,
the tools generally used being either
a single shovel or six inch diamond
plow. For watermelons these burrows
should be about nine or ten feet apart,
and the hills eight feet in the row.
Cantaloupes need less room, and six
by four feet will do very we'll. The
planting is usually done with a hoe;
a hole two inches deep is drawn out,
into which five or six seeds are scat
tered, when the soil is replaced and
firmed little with the back of the
hoe.
When this is accomplished the top
of the hill should be on a level with
the land, and the seeds on . level with
the water when it comes slowly down
the furrow in irrigating during the
summer. Then the plants when they
come UP should be near enough to the
furrow to get their roots thoroughly
saturated, but never be flooded. The
ground between the rows should be
kept free from weeds and we'll culti-
vated, while the hoe should be brought
into frequent use around the hills and
when the plants get large enough to
judge of their vitality they should be
thinned to two or three of the strong
est, standing two or three inches apart
in the hill.

temporarily abandoned his dominions,

lection of John Bull. Complications
are feared, as in 1860 Nicaragua agreed,
in treaty with England and the United
States, to pay the Mosquito sovereign

February, 1894. when the Nicaraguans

Diseases of Grain.

A subject of interest famous at all
seasons OF the year is that relating to
the diseases Of grain. Speaking of this,
the subject. says:
Blight originates in cold and frosty
winds. and is often occasioned by the
cold and easterly winds of spring It
generally assumes the appearance of a
rusty looking powder that soils the
fingers when touched. Some blades of
wheat with this specie of blight were
found TO have these spots or patches
dispersed over the surface of the leaf,
exactly like that of the seeds on ferns
On closer inspection they were found
TO consist of thousands of small
globules, collected in groups beneath
the epidermiS, which they raised in
sort of blister and at last burst. Some
of these globules seemed a if imbedded
in the longitudinal vessels of the blade
They are yellowish or rust brown and
somewhat transparent, but these have
been found to be patches of a minute
fungus, entering either from the air or
via the pores in the roots. 1t is known
among farmers as red rust. There is
another form of fungus, known as red
gum, which attacks the ear only, the
glcbules Of which are filed with red
powder which eXDlodeS when they are
put into water. 1t is generally accom-
panied by a maggot of yelloWish color
which preys upon the grain and in
creases the amount of the injury.
Smut is a disease incidental to Guilt
waited corn. By which the farina of the
grain, together with its proper integu-
mems and even part Of the husk, is
converted into a black soot-like powder.
If the injured ear can be struck with
the fingers the powder viii be dispersed
like a cloud OF black smoke, and if a
portion of the powder be wet with
drop of water and examined under the
microscope, there viii be found millions
of minute transparent globues, which
seem to be composed OF a clear and
gluey fluid body There is doubt as to
The origin of smut. Some attribute ii to
the soil. others to the seed, holding
that srnutted seed win produce a
sTnutted crop. Some farmers say that
n originates in a small fungus, which
nultiplies and extends until II occupies
fine whole air, but it seems TO be merely
q morbid swelling Of the ear, and not
at all connected with the growth Of a

Beet Sugar Items.

Lehi Banner: Very gratifying re-
ports continue to come in regarding
the beet crop. In all the districts ehey
are looking fine and thinning is being
rapidly done. In this district the fields
are alive with the thinners and maav
acres are being done each day. Some
OF the boys are getting to be experts
at this work and can do it rapidly and
well.
superintendent Granger and family
are preparing TO take a trip to Califor-
mia in the near future. They will be
away several weeks, as Mr.. Granger
expects to be present when some of
the southern California sugar factories
begin this seasons run.
F. G. Tracy is a leader in this sea-
sons beet crop. Thursday he brought
in beets II inches in length from the
top of the leaves to the end of the ROOT.
He expects to begin the thinning of
about ten acres next week. Farmers
are now planting rapidly, and quite a
number of fields are up. Seeding of 200
acres for the sugar company. on the
vineyard tract, has commenced.-Eddy
Argus.
"A reaction in the sugar industry will
come this fall. when d, lot of those who
planted sugar beets this spring will be
disappointed at the result" says the
Orange Judd Farmer. These will be the
farmers who have not mastered the pri-
mary principles of beet culture on
commercial scale. They are the men
who know it all. who start the crcD
with enthusiasm but without Judgment.
1t cannot be too often stated that sue
cessful culture of the sugar beet is
one of the most intense forms OF agri-
culture more like the methods Of mar
ket gardening about large cities than
the slipshcd CT extensive methods prac-
ticed by many farmers
The Glenwood Avalanche says after
talking sugar beets" for three years
we are pleased to hear of the devel-
opnent OF other cranks. The Trans
Mississippi congress, which is TO meet
in Salt Lake in July, viii be a conven-
ton of sugar beet cranks. We have
been talking on this same subject for
six years, and are not through yet. 1t
will be pleasure to welcome SUCH
cranks as will he at this convention as
they are the kind that viii make things
go. We hope this subject will be thor
ougf1ly discussed at the coming session
