One of the principal advantages
in having the pigs farrowed early
in the Spring is the longer season
they have to grow and mature be-
fore cold weather sets in. By keep
ing the pigs narrowed in the Spring
growing steadily during the Sum
mer. they will have made suffic-
lent growth to finish for market in
good season in the Fall.
With young sows that are to
bring their first litters it will be
best to delay the breeding a little
later, so that grass and clover will
have made a sufficient growth 10
supply good feed. Greeri feed will
help greatly in enabling the sows
to supply plenty of milk and this,
with young sows, is quite an item.
Have the sows in good gaining con-
dition when bred This is essen
tial if healthy, vigorous pigs are ex-
pected. Always breed to a thorough
bred male, rs this is one of the
cheapest and best ways of improv-
ing.
1t is always best to have the
breeding animals reasonably we'll
matured The 'sows should be kept
thrifty during the Winter, provld-
ing them with comfortable quarters
and feeding them we'll.
When several sows are kept, so
far as it can be done, it will be best
to breed them as nearly at the same
time as possible, as in this way a
more even and valuable lot of pigs
can be secured.
1t is best to give the sows the run
of small pasture. The exercise
they will take will help in main
tanning good health.
1t is OF no advantage to keep the
brood sows fat. In fact, a fat cons
dition is more detrimental than
otherwise. Good thrift is in every
way much better.
During the next month is good
time to breed the sows for Spring
filters, mating the young sows last
in order that they may not farrow
too early.

FOR THE FARMER.
GOOD ROADS.
some Ways in which They Prove
Beneficial TO Farmers.

That good roads have money
value to farmers will be granted by
all. That the money value of i'm
proved highways is alone sufficient
to Justify the cost of their construct
ion will be admitted by many farm
ers, questioned by others, and denied
by few.
In view of the financial and many
other advantages of good roads, a
majority of the farmers of the State
would doubtless favor their con-
struction as rapidly as practicable,
under some efficient, economical and
equitable system of highway i'm
provement.
But there are some farmers who
have little knowledge or apprecia-
ton of the benefits of good roads,
and, who, therefore, object, on ac-
count of the great cost Of highway
improvement.
These farmers regard with dis
trust and disfavor measures for
highway improvement; and they
are likely to oppose our efforts for
the improvement of our roads I'M
less they can first be convinced
that good roads will prove paying
financial investment.
Speaking, therefore, in behalf of
those who for any reason are not
influenced by the higher considera
tons in favor of improved highways,
| raise the question. Will it pay
the farmers in dollars and cents to
improve their public roads?
Before attempting to answer this
question, let us consider in what
ways permanently good roads will
prove financially beneficial to
farmers. All will agree, | think,
that a good road will
Economic time and force in
transportation between farm and
market.
Reduce wear on horses, harness
and vehicles
Increase the market value of real
estate.
Improved roads bring better
prices for farms and farm products.
Double loads cheaper transporta-
ton.
Can market over good roads
when commodities are scarce.
Rural homes are more sought
after along good roads.
Wagon highways are the greatest
arteries of commerce.
Civilization is to be judged by
the condition of the roads.
Good roads in the end will not
cost as much money outlay as poor
ones. No tax is as great as one of
bad roads.
A bad road is a heavy tax on
those who use it, and the worse the
road the heavier the tax.
Bad roads cause decay of agri-
culture; they impose the greatest of
all burdens on the farmer.
Bad roads cause people to gather
into cities.
Bad roads wear out the horses
very rapidly, thus detracting very
largely from the profits of the farm.
In view of these and various
other arguments that might be Of
fered in favor of good roads as
against bad ones, we are led to
believe that it would be better for
all classes, and especially for farm.
ers, to have our roads permanently
improved, and we believe from fl.
nancial standpoint, it would cost
less to build permanent roads than

adapted it is to transplanting.
Small fruit plants that are set
out late should be well mulched.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Give the orchard good care; it
will pay better than any other labor.
In setting out roots at any time,
never allow the roots to become dry.
Nectarines or apricots will thrive
anywhere that the peach or plum
will.
Pear trees are much inclined to
grow too thick in the center; trim
out we'll
Pruning may be done at any time
during the Winter, when the trees
are not frozen.
With plenty of wood ashes as a
top dressing no manure is needed
for young trees.
Raspberries and black berries may
be propagated by suckers, layers or
cuttings of roots.
One of the best remedies for the
rose slug is "A strong stream of water
from a small hose.
Always plant thrifty trees, and
always select young trees in prefer
ence to those that are overgrown
After the trees have been in bear
ing for two or three years the or
chard may be seeded down to clover
When trees are set out late in the
Fall particular care should be taken
to firm the soil well around the
roots.
If you dwarf the top Of young,
new y-set tree that is making a
rapid growth, you are dwarfng the
roots.
Too much manure before the tree
comes into bearing often induces
an excessive growth of wood at the
expense of fruit.
Newl y-set peach trees should be
gone over and all irregular growth
of young wood be taken off before
the wood hardens.
In pruning, one of the first things
to be done is the removal of all
dead or diseased limbs; then others
that are necessary.
Young shade trees should be
trimmed into shane the first few
years ofgrowth. Much of the beauty
depends upon the shape.
In lifting trees for transplanting
secure all the roots possible, not so
much the stout roots as the fine
threadlike or fibrous ones.
Mulching continually is a dan
gerous practice, as it draws the
roots too near the surface, so that
they lose their hold upon the soil.
House plants will need watering
usually once or twice a week. One
thorough watering week will give
better results than daily sprink-
ling,
For places having southern ex-
posture should have plants requir-
ing sunny position, while those
having northern aspect should
have plants requiring shade.
Drainage is necessary for success
in the growing of plants in window
boxes, as we'll as every place else.
See that it is provided when the
dirt is put into the boxes.
Blight in many cases attacks
without warning. The only safe
remedy is to cut off and burn every
branch or limb affected. The
quicker this is done the better.
Many growers claim That it is
better to plant the same kinds in

FLEET AT WORK


Warshlps.
Key West, Aug 2.-Reports have
reached here that Neuyitas, on the
northern coast Of the province OF Puer-
to Principe, Cuba, has been bombarded
by the ships Of the blockading squad
ron, evacuated by the Spanish and sub
sequently burned. No details are
known, and the only information OF
the affair was that given to Captain
Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, by
Lieutenant-C Colonel Rojas, Of the insur-
gent focres at Gibara, last Tuesday.
Colonel Rojas himself has the news at
second hand.
The only American ships known to
have been in the vicinity Of Neuyitas
lately are the Prairie and Badger. The
latter captured three Spanish ships
coming out of the Neuvitas harbor, and
took them to Dry Tortugas. All were
flying Red Cross flags, but when board
ed were found to contain number Of
Spanish soldiers, only three Of whom
were sick. The Badger is expected
here shortly.
The Nashville reported at Gibara on
Tuesday, when she captured the scboon-
ers Gibara and Espresso. On entering
the harboI, she was met by the ex-
United States consular agent and pres
ident Of the railroad line to Holguin.
He told the Americans of the evacua-
ton of Gibara two days before by Gem
eral Leque and his 800 Spanish troops,
who feared concerted attack by Amer
leans and Cubans. They fed to Hol-
guin by rail, and afterwaid store up the
tracks. General Lequez left in the
Gibara hospital 535 sick and wounded
Spanish soldiers with request to Ad-
miral Sampson to see that they were
properly cared for.
The next day the Cuban forces, con-
sisting OF 500 cavalry. under Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Rojas, and 200 infantry,
made triumphant entry into the town.
They were received with acclamations
by the Cubans, and the town held fcs-
tival that day and night. the insurg-
ents took formal possession. establish.
ing police system and sent out scouting
parties, and when the Nashville ar.
rived, the best Of order was being main,
tanned. The invaders had, however
neglected the schooners in the harbor
aud the American ships took possession
Of them.
When Ensign Snow left with 1
prize crew to bring the Gibara here, j
had been determined to raise the Amer
lean flag over the town.

PANIC IN SANTIAGO.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. ia PAN
icky feeling prevails in business cir
cles here. owing to fear that the
Americans will turn the city over to
the Cubans for self-government No
confidence exists, owing to the uncer-
tainty of the future. Orders that
we've given during the first days OF the
American occupation have been conn
termanded by cable. European mer.
chandise on through bills OF lading via
New York has been ordered unshipped
and sold in Neg York, even at sacri-
fee.
The same feeling extends to the
Cuban merchants themselves, WHO
seem to have lost faith in the ability 0f
their own people to control affairs. The
rebels demand independence, but the
better classes, the merchants and land
owners, dread such a possibility, and
fervently hope that the United States
will retain the reins Of government in
the island, as the only guarantee Of
stability or prosperity.
Senior Julian Cendoja, agent of the
Ward line Of steamers, says that a.
hundred Spanish merchants have APP
piled for cabin and baggage room on
the return trip Of the steamer Philadel-
phia, which is expected today, and
they will leave the city unless there is
some assurance from the American gov
eminent that it intends to control the
administration Of public affairs in
Cuba.
This is the question uppermost in
eyerybody's mind. Spanish, foreigners
and natives are all alike anxious for a
definite expression from Washington Of
the policy Of the United States with
regard to Cuba, and until the express
sion is made, no resumption Of trade Or
commerce can be expected in Santiago.

Unalaska increased its population to

Berlin, Aug. 2.-The news OF Prince
Bismarck's death, which became gen

sorrow, as so sudden realization OF the
fears of his demise was not expected.

as follows:
''The Filipinos resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands for the sake Of peace with

honor of America entitle us TO your

over our country again to Spain is con-

tory to the inhabitants, is preposter-
Gus. To retain her sovereignty means
deception, oppression and bigotry. We
place our rights in your hands, and
pray you to induce the president and
