allotment OF $4,000 from the National Dc

tonal force of skilled detectives to work
exclusively at looking up Spanish snies.
both the war and navy departments depend
on the secret service division of the treas
ury to look up all suspicious persons who
come under their observation. On an ayer-
age thirty or forty reports a day are re-
ierred to the secret service men by those
departments alone and other reports of sus-
picion are being investigated. This has

| Cubans was brought to Key West by Lieu
tenant A. s. Rowan.

surprise to learn that his headquarters
were in Bayamo. That had always been
regarded as ono Of tho strongest Spanish
fortified towns. But such was the case.
'Bayamo had been in stase OF partial
siege for months. Garcia simply worried
the Spanlards out on April 81. White flags
were hoisted over every Spanish fort
around Bdyamo. General Garcia was COR
rect in his superstition that the Span
| iards did not intend to armistlce but sim
ply hoisted flag OF truce to cover some
treacherous military maneuyer. That man
cuver was the evacuation Of Buyamo.
THE Cubans answered the flags of truce
with heavy artillery and rifle Are The
Spaniards retreated In two columns to a
little town called Enbariadoro on The
CGuto river.
For distance of 2c0 yards on the San
Augustin road the Cubans planted dynl-
mite torpedoes that were exploited by an

Three Crops In q Greenhouse.

Boston greenhouse gardeners often
follow the last crop of lettuce with a
crop Of beets and radishes. Good rad
ish seed is important. A favorite va
riety Of beets is the Egyptian. The
seed is started in hotbeds and trans.
planted into houses about the first of
May. Beets are set four by eight and
radishes one inch apart between the
beet rows. The care of the beets and
radishes is very much the same as if
grown outdoors after the plants are
set. Rows of cucumbers are often set
along the edges Of the beet and radish
beds and trained on trellises over
head. The cucumbers do not shade
the other crops much before they are
pulled and out Of the way.-American

Feed For breeding Ewes.

Breeding ewes have not only , to
keep up their own animal heat and
energy and provide for the growing
fet us within them, but they have also
to make growth Of wool on their own
bodies. That they do not always get
enough OF the right kind Of food for
all these purposes is shown by the
fact that the wool from ewes is less
valuable than that from on equal
weight of wool from wethers or ewes
that are not bred. Possibly some
weakness Of the fiber is inevitable in
that which is produced while ewes are
dropping their young, when there is
naturally more or less fever. But the
wool may be made much better if the
ewes are given succulent food to keep
their digestion good and bran mashes,
which are just what are needed, not
only for making the wool, but also to
produce thrifty and vigorous lamb,
which is also born with moro or less
woody covering when its dam must
furnish from the food given her.

New Corn Product as Horse Feed.

In some tests made recently at the
Maryland experiment station to de-
termine the value of cornstalks from
which the pith had been removed, it
was shown that this fodder fed to
horses as a substitute for hay was
eaten with q relish after the animals
became accustomed to it and was
better digested than timothy hay.
After the pith has been removed from
the cornstalk what remains is ground
fine. The blades and husks may be
included and they may not. Horses
In the habit Of consuming mixed feeds
take more readily to this ration than
those previously receiving nothing but
whole feeds. Horses which ate this
new corn product continuously for
five months consumed more Of it OF
the end of the time than ct the begin
ming. This is satisfactory evidence
that the feed is good for horses and
can replace hay.

Intensive Farming.

If farmers who delight in owning
and working large areas could see the
crops taken from small plots by the
truckers near New York City, they
would receive an object lesson in in
tensive farming which would be ef-
fectual. On Long Island and in New
Jersey especially, there ore dozens OF
patches, not farms, which, with tho
aid of few hotbeds, are made to pay
high rents and support large families:
The soil is kept to the highest point
of fertility, every inch of it is
thoroughly cultivated and every advan-
tage is taken of the lay Of the land.
From the first day that the weather
will permit the soil being worked un-
til the ground is finally used for celery
blanching, it is constantly employed
in crop production; it is no unusual
sight to see half a dozen men indus
triously at work on an acre OF two OF
ground. 1t is the same principle the
florist applies to plant and flower
growing. If his benches yield but one
crop of plants or blossoms during the
wear, his business is failure. Every
square foot of it must yield two OF
more crops for profitable years work
