the ship? ! think not. 1t appears to me
that the ship must have been blown up by
a government torpedo in the hands of eX-
perienced engineers.
To pretend that the ship was destroyed
by all internal explosion, to pretend that
the side plates could have been drawn in
ward by such an explosion, and that the
keel could have been sucked upward thir-
ty-four feet by such an explosion is ride
ulous and foolish in the extreme. The po-
sitions Of the parts can only be account
ed for on the hypothesis that the explo-
sion was from the outside. This is fully
and conscientiously believed by every
American, and it is for this crime that
Spain has to answer: it is for this that she
has to face what is. perhaps potentially
the strongest nation on the face of the
earth. l iEclose my card. l am, sir, yours

LOW-HEADED TREES
Their Naturally Spneading Hsbtf OF
Growth VIII Keep Them Fruit
ful for Years.

A great many fruit trees will be set
next spring. says Nebraska FAEmer.
One Of the most important po4nts to
be considered In planting is TO trim so
as to wahe the fruit tres productive
and It's fruits easily harvested. The
old idea that fruit trees should be
trained to branch up six or more feet
from the ground, so as not to get in
the way Of plowing. has long ago been
proved n mistake. 1t is the fruit on the
high tree that is mostexposed to winds
and which rs windfalls brings less
than half what It is worth II carefully
picked by hand The low-hended tree
will come into bearing early, and its
naturally spre ading habit Of growth
will keep it fruitful. Under trees thuS
managed there can, Of course, be no
blowing, but they will not seed II.
Grass is easily suppressed by the shade
Of low, headed trees, and little mulch
spread under the trees will kecp the
soil always moist enough for a thrifty
growth Of roots. Most Of the fruit on
low-headed trees can be harvested
from the ground, or by standing q,
short stepladdeys, leaving very little 10

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.


Caives from three to six weeks old

most desirable wright for shipment.
The head should be cut out, SO as TO
leave the hide OF the head,on the skin,
Gays On exchange. The legs should
be cut of at tho knee joint. The en-
trails should all be removed except
ing the kidneys and liver, which should
