The new machine gun mounted upon
the deck of the revenue cutter Gresham
has not as yet been tried in action. 1t
is known as the Dregges- Schroeder six
pound rifle. 1t fires thirty-three shots
a minute, and can pierce with it's pro-
jectiles three inches of steel at a dis
tance of three miles. If this arm is all
that is claimed for it, it will prove
one Of the most effective machines of
offense of the lighter order ever brought
to naval attention. What would the

According to Consul Williams and
Admiral Dewey, the claim Of -he Span
ish that they have 10000 troops in and
about Manila is unsupported. Our off,
cials named say that a fair estimate
gives the Spanish about 1900 r1en OF
all classes, many of whom are half
mutinous and poor fighters. AS for the
insurgents, the best advices verified by
correspondents who have means OF
knowledge is that they control the

Meeda Indicating Soil.

Much about the character of soil may
be told by experienced farmers IL they
can see the kinds of weeds that grow
upon 1t. There are many weeds that
are never found on very poor soil, and
others that will perhaps grow but will
not amount to much unless the soil Is
very rich. The pigweed and purslane,
which Is often called chickweed, Is very
abundant In old gardens, and always
shows the presence of a large amount
of available nitrogen. So rich are these
weeds In heterogeneous nutrition that
they are often pulled up and fed to
pigs, which will eat them In preference
TO grass, as they are more nutritious.
The common ragweed grows In all
kinds of soils. But If the land Is poor,
1t will blossom and seed at few inches
from the ground, while in rich soil 1t
grows n foot and half to two feet
high. The mullen In pastures usually
marks the running out Of the grass,
and probably that the land is poor

Crop Rotation.

To grow the same crop upon field
year after year is the very worst way
of treating the soil. Every plant has
its own peculiar habit of life. 1t feeds
more heavily upon one substance than
upon another; 1t attacks the soil par.
ticles In Its own characteristic man
ner; It's peculiar root system will use
only n certain portion of the soil. and
only to a certain depth; In short 1t
will exhaust the land, making It weak
and worn In one way, ieaying 1t fertile
in all other ways. When new weeds
settle upon the lands. those having hab-
its different from the crop grown will
find rich soil for their growth and
will aourish, always with great detrl.
ment 10 the crop desired by the hus-
bandman, and often with Its total de-

therefore, In system of rotation OF
crops IS to exhaust the soil as uniform.

In handling a colt, Its instincts and
tendencies should never be lost sight
Of, such as kicking, striking and run
ming away from anything 1t concelyes
to be dangerous. Its faculties of gee
ing, smelling and hearing are very
acute, and are given 1t for self-preser-

The experienced trainer will be patient
and not require too much of a colt at a
start, but gradually bring him In con

1t learns from experience that they are
harmless. No thoughtful or intelligent
person will ever abuse n colt for being

On all kinds of soil clover, when fully
grown, Is benefit. Its roots break up
the heavy clay soils and make them
permeable to air and moisture. But on
sandy soils clover growth as often as
every two or three years Is a necessity.
1t Is only thus that what vegetable mat

washed or burned away and wasted. II
