MOVABLE SWILL BARREL.
1t Helps to Keep Everything About
the Farmhouse in IA Clean and
Tidy Condition.

In order for the farmer and his fami-
" to remain healthy and contented,
1t Is imperative that every hing about
the farmhouse be kept clean and tidy.
Indeed, the least items tending to SLOW
cnliness should never be tolerated any
longer than is absolutely necessary,
for such are highly susceptible to aug
mentation, IN which case they are very
liable to breed disease and ruin. This
applies especially to the swill barrel,
Cf which a stationary one, in back
yard or front, is about the biggest and
in summer the most dangerous (pes-
ti:erously speaking) nuisance to be
met with anywhere on the farm.
Hence it is that we advocate the use
of a movable swill barrel, as shown
herewith in the cut; for then, when the
warm days of summer have arrived

WAR CLOUDS GATHER.
Sir Michael Beach, England's Chancellor
of the E1chequer. Throws Down the
Gauntlet to France-The Gauls Prepare
for HOstiIities.

London, Oct. 2O.-Sir Michael II.
Beach, chancellor of the eXchequer,
speaking at North Shields last even
ing, said: "Our work in Egypt is not
completed Africa is big enough for
us both-for France in the west and
ourselves in the east. | hope and be-
lieve the question is capable OF
friendly solution, but this country has
put her foot down. 1t would be
great calamity if, after peace for up
wards of 50 years, we should be
launched into great war, but there
are greater evils than war, and we
shall not shrink from anything that is
coming, knowing that we are support
ed by a united people,
London, Oct. 2O.-The speech of Sir
Michael II. Beach at North Shields
has deeply impressed England and the
utmost concern is felt as to how
France will receive it. Most of the
morning papers elaborate some of the
descriptions of the belligerent prepar-
ations of France.
The Paris correspondent of the Mail
says: in Toulon and Brest every
| nerve is strained to get ready for war,
| which may break out on short notice.
| The Paris press is growing more and
more determined TO back up extreme
| measures, even a resort to arms. The
| French have been excessively piqued
by the threatening tone of the Eng
lish papers, which is a more likely
| casus belli than the mere question
of Fashoda. Consequently the out
| look here is grave There are reports :
of troops hurrying from Paris to Brest
and Toulon. The artillery in the bat
| teries and at the various ports has
/ been instructed for any emergency,
and the cannons at all the forts and
batteries are kept ready for action at
| any moment

CROPS AS MANURE.
This System of FertiIizinE Does No
Bring In Quick Returns, ButIt
Is PrOfitabIe.

Such crops as turnips, rye, buck.
wheat and crimson clover assist in re,
ducing the plant food in the soil and
making it possible for crops the sue
ceeding year to utilize the plant food
piowed under in the manure crop. All
soils contain unavailable matter that
the farmer needs. There are crops that
do not have the power TO break down
the chemical compounds existing in the
soils, but there are other crops which
have a partiality for some substances
which are beyond the ability of plants
of a different kind. One crop may
be preparatory for another, hence
the blowing under of a crop is not q
loss, but a gain. In England the tur
nips are regarded as renovator of the
soil, and the seed is broadcasted ovel
the surface, sheep being allowed ac
cess to the turnips after they have ma
tured. The turnips can feed on al
most anything in the soil, and wher
eaten by sheep the gain of mutton anC
manure gives the farmer a profit. but
the English farmer attaches as much
value to the increased fertility of hi!
soil as he does to the product which
he markets therefrom. 1t may be
urged as some have done, that greer
crops can add no mineral matter to the
soil other than it takes therefrom
which is true; but such crops rendel
the mineral matter available for tn,

New York, Oct. 22.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
With growing foreign demand for
American products, exchange is in
fuenced mainly by political uncer-
tainties abroad While Europe waits
for the outcome between England and
France about the Upper Nile, the
fnanciers of European countries are
trying to force upon each other the
burden of providing cash for the cnor-
nous demands of the United States.
England has so managed as to make
France and Germany send most OF the
gold, and the resulting war of ex-
changes between foreign nations
checks for the moment the movement
of gold this way. Yet these and all
other causes do not so far hinder bus
ness as to prevent an excess over the
most prosperous of previous years. The
exchanges through all clearing houses
for the past week have been per cent.
larger than last year and IL per cent
larger than in 1892, but outside New
York for the week transactions were
smaller than in 1892.
The outgo of wheat staggerS all
prophets of disaster, but while the
price has advanced three cents at the
west. the rise would have been much
greater but for the feeling that the
enormous foreign demand may not
last.
While cotton spiners have agreed
upon a selling agency and curtail-
ment of production, there is "A better
demand for staple goods, and prospect
of a better demand in future. In wool
en- goods also, there has been mark
ed improvement during the past week,
and better sales, with extensive in
quiry.
There is much hesitation in the iron
and steel trade, partly because the out
come OF various combinations in Bes-
semer pig. steel rails, bars, wire nails
and the like cannot Yet be definitely
anticipated. Yet prices Of domestic
products have not declined, and al
though the tone is somewhat weaker
for bars and plates, quotations are in
part sustained by considerable orders
for export

SPANIARDS ARGUMENTS.
For Two Hours and a Half DOns
Talked About Cuba's Debt.
AMERICANS DIDN'T BUDGE
Washington Officials Have Come to the
Conclusion that 1t VIII he Impossible for
All of the Spanish Soldiers to Evacuate
Cuba by December 1st

Paris. Oct 22.-The joint session or
the peace commissions yesterday last
ed from . p. IN. to 4:30 p. IN. During
this time the commissioners discussed
the second series of written arguments
put forward by the Spaniards for the
purpose of prevailing upon the AmerI-
can commissioners to assume the
Cuban debt. No definite conclusion
was reached and the commissioners
adjourned until Monday, when the
Cuban question will again be discuss
ed. It is probable that this feature OF
the negotiations will be disposed of
next week.
Thus far there have been seveu joint
sessions. four of which have been de-
voted to the discussion of the first ar
ticle of the protocol. In this manner
two weeks have passed and no result
has been reached. The American COM
missioners have listened to all the ar
guments of the Spaniards, but they
have not changed the position which
they first assumed, in refusing to take
over the Cuban debt.
Washington. Oct. 22.-lt is now
certain that the complete evacuation
of Cuba will be delayed beyond the
period originally fixed by the admins
+ratfon. This will follow without
reference % anything that has oc-
CURED in Paris before the peace com
mission. The war department has sat
isfied itself that the task imposed
upon the Spanish authorities. namely,
the removal and transportation to a
great distance by sea of about 100000
soldiers. sick and well, with their ac-
cOutrements. was beyond the ability
of the Spaniards. The magnitude OF
the task is shown by the fact that the
GREAT transatlantic steam lines cross
ing the Atlantic from New York, all
combined, in prosperous seasons,
transport only about $4,000 persons III
one year-less than half the number
that the Spanish officials, with their
poor facilities, were expected to trans
port in about ten weeks.
DELAY in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause a delay in the reIinquiShment or
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island. which was set for Decem-
Der /. 1t is hardly deemed prudent to
undertake to assume charge OF the
municipal affairs of Havana so long
as tie city contains a strong garrison
of Spanish troops, and it is felt that
law and order could be better main
tained in such centers by allowing
them to remain under Spanish iuris-
diction until they are evacuated by the
troops and reoccupied by United States
troops. 1t is not to be understood
from this that the American military
commission is in any sense abatlng the
pressure it has brought to bear upon
the Spanish military commissioners 10
secure the evacuation OF the island
and the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish
sovereignty. On the contrary they
have redoubled their efforts to secure
these objects. but are not disposed to
insist upon the performance OF I'M
DOsSible tasks.

THIEVERY IN HOSPITALS
Chaplain at Fort McPhersoa Alleges that
Sick Men Were Robbed.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 22.-The war in
vestigation committee arrived Friday
and went TO Fort Mcpherson. The only
work TO be done here is in connection
with the hospital at the fort. The
commissioners examined only two wit
nesses here. They were Ma ar Blair
B. Taylor, surgeon in charge of the
general military hospital here, and
Rev. Orville j. Nave, chaplain of that
institution.
DR.. Taylor said he had in the begin
ming of the camps history had con-
siderable difficulty IN getting requisi-
tions filed, although he had had no
difficulty in getting them approved by
the authorities at Washington. One
requistion made on May i6 and
another on June "a had not been en-
tirely filed until very recently.
Rev. Nave said he had visited every
patient who had been in the hospital
and that he had never heard single
complaint from a man who was
possessed Of his reason, while on the
contrary he had heard many express
sions of gratitude and commentator
for the excellent conduct of the hos
pitai
Mr.. Nave expressed the opinion that
in the conduct of military hospitals
there was too little care of the clothes
and other property of patients.
''Tn a word the thieving which has
been going on and the petty pecula-
tions which have been practiced upon
soldiers" said he. ''oftentimes by their
comrades, has been one of the saddest
features of the war"
