One Good Spanish viceroy.

On August 10, 1868, Don Francisco
Fernandez de Ia Cueva, Duke Of
Albuquerque, started to rule New
Spain as Viceroy.
He was one of the best Viceroys
that Mexico had He waged relent-
less warfare ON banditti in the high
ways and monopolists in the cities.
During his Viceroyalty the English
took Jamaica. 1t was Friar Gage who
suggested this enterprise to Crom-
we'll, having been in Mexico and the
West Indies earlier in the century and
knowing the defenseless condition of
the coasts.
Albuquerque sent reinforcements
to Jamaica and took measures to put
the coasts Of Mexico III state of de-
fense.
He was the first to send settlers in
considerable numbers TO New Mexico,
where his name, given to one of the
towns, still survives.
He was nearly sssassinated by
soldier named Ledesma in the cathe-
dral.
He was succeeded, in 1860, by the
Conde de Banos, and was promoted to
the Viceroyalty of Sicily. = Mexican

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that il
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
perfectly normal and regular per
formance of natures function. The

Fertilizers in Grain Drills.

To very many farmers it is not
merely surprise, but almost incom-
prehensible, how the small amount of
fertilizer, usually not over 156 to 200
pounds per acre, can produce such re-
suits as they are used to seeing. 1t
may help farmers to arrive at just
conclusions in this matter if we ex-
plain how the fertilizer works. In the
first place, it usually has q small per-
centage of nitrogen in available form.
This is just what the young plant
wants. 1t is not stimulant, for
plants have no nerves. But to supply
them with what they need is to plants
much the same as stimulus is to
man. 1t incites the roots to spread
out in every direction, and Us each
rootlet carries both carbonic acid gas
and small proportion of ammonia,
both are powerful solvents. Thus it
is that the young grain, Which is thus
fertilized so quickly, extends its roots
into adjoining drill marks that it ap-
parently and really Injuries those
which have not received such abun-
dant supplies of plant foot. If any
one will examine the roots of grain in
drills, he will find that within ten
days they have extended into the rows
of the drills not fertilized, enough to
dwarf the growth in the latter. Where
all the drill tubes distribute fertilizer
this effect is neutralized.

Some Electrical Figures.

A local contributor who has been
making little investigat ion has dug
out number of very interesting cleo
trical facts.
In 1884, he says, the total invest
ment in electrical appliances through
out the United States did not aggre-
gate much over $1,000, 900, while to-
day the capitalization of all the cleo
tricA concerns in the country is fully
81. 900, 900, 900.
1t is estimated that about 5000, 000,-
900 has been invested in electric light
ing stations and plants in the United
States. There are to-day in the
United States about $4,000 miles of
electric railroad, with nominal capi-
tai of about 1000, 100000 and en-
ploying about 10, 900 men.
People can now actually converse at
a distance of 1900 miles, and CONVEX
sations at distances of 1900 miles are
common. There are now nearly L.
100000 telephones connected with
this country's telephone service, en-
ploying capitalization of about $780,
100000. Every day about $4,000 EN-
ployes make on an average more than
100000 telephone connections

Drilled and Cultivated Turnips.

So many farmers broadcast turnip
seed ON their hoed crops late in the
season that they forget that, cheap
though this seems, there is q still bet
ter way. That is to SOW the turnip
seed in drills wide enough apart for a
hoe to run between. We have seen
enormous crops grown this way, and
the labor in hoeing was more than re-
paid by keeping the turnips steadily
growing, so that at the time for har-
vest none were gnarled or pithy.
Even before the main crop is fully
grown, there can be sold good many
small turnips thinned out where the
plants were too thick in the row.
These small turnips, if not stunted,
are more tender and sweet than those
that have grown to larger size.

Caring For Roses.

The best time to prune climbing tea
scented and Noisette roses, as we'll as
the vigorous hybrid perpetuals and
Bourbons, says our English exchange,
the Garden, is Immediately after they
have finished Towering. The whole
art of growing these roses to advan-
tage consists in obtaining strong and
properly ripened growth. 1t is these
growths which bear such profusion
of grand flowers during early summer
All who have made study of pruning
roses agree that it is best to remove
the wood of these vigorous growers that
has already lowered at the earliest
possible moment. By pruning this in
the summer, You naturally throw the
whole strength of the plant into the
wood that is to remain and produce
flowers next year.
Another gain is, you allow more
light and air to these sucker-like
growths, and they ripen much better,
The same remarks apply where these
strong growers are pegged down in
beds; but 1 do not advise these long
shoots being pegged down until the
following spring, only recommending
that the older wood be removed, to af-
ford more strength and air to the re-
naming growth. You are able to cul-
tivate the soil between the plants when
it is of the most benefit, and in more
effectual manner than could be while
the whole growth remained. Weeds
can be kept down and mulchings ap-
Piled with greater ease, while at the
same time more valuable growth can
be secured. 1 should like it particu-
larly understood that this advice is for
the strong and extra vigorous growers
only OF whatever class. These seldom
bloom more than once in satisfactory
manner, and it is better to render this
main crop as soon as possible. Gloire
de Dijon and a few more will some
times produce q second crop of flowers
late in the autumn, from the earliest
matured growths, but you can not
have the same crop twice, and pre-
fer to have a good show of bloom early
in the summer i'll preference to crops
in the autumn.
Summer pruning may be carried out
III oil roses, especially the tea-scented
and Noisette varieties. When cutting
flowers from these 1 always remove
much longer stem than is generally
the case. Not only are the flowers
more valuable for decoration with long
stalks, but you are practically sum-
mer pruning your plants at the same
time. Roses always break more freely
from the top eyes of shoot, and by
removing the blooms with long stem
you keep your plants more compact,
and avoid the necessity of cutting
away much valuable wood to get the

lie Meant Well.

Some of the men now stationed at
jackson Barracks are not yet up in
the military phraseology which is used
in the delivery of a command, as the
following story, told by one of the
officers of the post, demonstrates:
A few days since one of the young
men, corporal in one of the batteries,
was placed on guard duty, and hap.
pened to be near him when he gave a
command to the guard which was any.
thing but military. The young man
had been instructed before he went on
duty that when a commissioned
officer approached he must call the
guard out to present arms as a mark
of respect to the officer. The young
soldier spied the commander of the
post, Captain Manning, approaching,
and in the excitement of the moment,
hurried to where the remainder of the
guard were and called to them, Get
out, the whole push of you, right

Perhaps the poorest opinion OF
music as vocation is attributed to a
builder in Glasgow. The man had
sent his son to college, where the
young fellow excelled in musical ac-
complishments. In course of time
he announced to his father his firm
intention to become musician The
father objected vehemently. The son
begged, and was at last affected to
tears. declaring that he would never
be happy in any other calling. This
melted the fathers heart, and he ex-
claimed:

manner. 1t is to him so much manual

manner. 1t is to him so much manual
or mechanical labor, nothing more.
But this is no really Objectionable
feature, provided his labors are direct.
ed in right channels. Now, this is the
point l wish to bring out in q certain
number of cases from which the com.
plants emanate. The employer fails
to scientifically guide the labor of his
employe.
The dairyman tells his man to go
and get the cows and milk them, but
he fails to tell him what to do and
what not to do in carrying out his pro-
cedure.
To expedite matters, the hired man
may as beginning take along a shep.
herd dog to the pasture, and bring the
cows in on the run. In milking he
follows out his own way rather than
any plan directed by his employer.
He brushes or does not brush the
cows udders, according as he sees fit,
dips his fingers in the milking pail to
moisten their teats at his own pleasure,
strips them hastily, or treats the ami.
mails roughly, as inclination moves
him. His instructions go no farther
than to say milk the cows" with no
orders as to how to milk them.
Subordinates engaged in dairy work
should be as well trained in what they
are to do, and how they are to do it,
as are soldiers. The mind that directs
the dairy, and sees that his directions
are minutely followed, is the one that
will make the dairy pay.
Unframed men who are willing to
learn make good dairy soldiers, but it
is not their fault that poor results are
the rule, if their employer does not
discipline them.
l have often pointed out the neces-
sity for constant personal oversight of
their employees by dairymen. This is
as important now as it ever was, for
on it hinges the profits of many farm.
The value of reliable dairy help is OBJ
vious, and the more experienced the
help are, of course, the better. How
many instances have come under the
writer's observation where q good,
steady, conscientious hired man has
been all that kept the farm going

Seeding Timothy with Buckwheat.

On low land, where buckwheat is
the crop chiefly grown, it is often de-
sirable to seed the land again. Sow
ing timothy seed among the buck
wheat while it is growing will do this
as well, if not better, than any other
plan We know, especially if there are
rains as there have been nearly every
where during the present month. The
young grass will be well rooted by
the time the buckwheat is ready to be
got off the ground. No plowing is
needed, and though there is always
some waste OF buckwheat in harvest
ing, no harm will be done, as the tim
othy will so occupy the ground by
spring that there will be little and
perhaps no buckwheat in next years

The Utah Experimental Station, over
which Mr.. j. w. Sanborn is presid-
ing as director, has Just published n
bulletin on the draft of plows. The
question of the draft of plows is an
important one. 1t is estimated that
in round numbers 200, 900, 900 days of
horse work is annually used in plow-
ing for the stable crops of this coun-
try. A change in the draft of ten to
thirty per cent. which may easily occur
Us difference between good plows
and poor ones or between good and
poor plowing, adds immensely to the
extra cost. The following are some of
the conclusions reached:
Coulters add to the draft of plows.
Professor Sanborn says: I have no
hesitation in pronouncing cutters as
generally iniudicious, and advise farm,
ers to dispense with them.
Trucks under the end of the beam
lessen draft, add to the uniformity Of
the furrow and decrease the work Of
the plowman.
A share sharpened by blacksmith
drew thirty-six per cent. harder than
a new share.
A dull share drew harder than q
sharp one, but not as hard as the poorly
sharp share.
Less loss of draft was found when
the plowman forced the plow to carry
a furrow out of harmony with the
hitch at the bride, than it was ex.
pected would be found.
No loss of draft was found either
when the share was made straight on
its base or straight ON its land side
on the contrary, slight gain was re.
corded
Lengthening the hitch slightly de
creased the draft OF the plow.
Changing plowman varied the draft
but 30 materially as it has been sup.
posed it would.
A three wheeled sulky plow having
no pole-the third wheel running il
the furrow and allowing of shorter
land slide-gave light draft and ex
cellent work.
Walking plows gave very slightly
less draft than did sulky plows with
rider, but not a material difference.
The wider the furrow up to the
standard cutting width of the plow
the less the force required to turn Q
square inch of soil. After passing
this width the draft on a clover swarc
still very slightly continues to de
crease. On old ground it does not in
crease beyond this point.
Draft decreases with depth, ant
probably does as long as the soil re
tains the essential physical conditions
OF the surface. Southern Farmer.

Training Dairy Help.

Having heard frequent complaints
among dairymen that their hired help
were too careless and lax in perform
ing their stable and outside dairy
duties, would like to say that for this
condition of affairs 1 consider the aver
age dairyman largely to blame.
Nearly every man who works on q
farm has a smattering of farm duties,
or soon acquires it. The average hired
man does not study into the why's and
wherefores of things. He simply per-
forms the labor mapped out for him to
do either in a good, bad or Indifferent
