THE KITCHEN WASTE.
1t Makes the Richest Kind of Fer
tilizer for Flower Beds md All
Garden Crops.

There is no necessity for throwing
the waste from the kitchen into the
drain from the house, and to do so is
absolute waste of valuable fertilizing
material. Dishwater, soapsuds and
all such waste products make the best
kind of fertilizers for grape vines, cur
rant and gooseberry bushes and trees,
and vegetable parings may be put to
good use by being kept separate,
cooked and mixed with bran as feed
for pigs and chickens.
The richest kind of fertilizer that
can be made cor flowers and garden
crops is to make fat pile of sods, lawn
clippings and other such material, on
which is thrown the soapsuds and dish
water and other liquid waste from the
kitchen and house. This compost pile
should be turned over once in awhile
so as to become thoroughly mixed and
rotted together, and then use where
quick and thrifty growth is desired.
All garden crops require an extra
amount of plant food because they
have been bred to make quick
growth, and are ravenous foragers in
every case. There is not single gar
den crop that is not benefited by fer
tilizing, no matter how fertile the soil
may be. Cabbages, tomatoes, cucum-
bers and melon vines. beets, onions,
lettuce, and radishes respond to extra
fertilizing very promptly, and If the
kitchen and house waste is utilized the
average family makes enough of this
waste in a year to fertilize the garden.
soapsuds and dishwater are both
rich in potash, and the garden crops
take to them very kindly. If employed
in this way the waste may be put to
good use. instead of clogging up the
drain and creating an unpleasant and
disease-breeding odor through the
warm months.-Farmers' Voice.

FRUIT ON THE FARM.
Every Man Living in the Country
Should Raise an Ample Supply
for Home Use.

The greater value Of fruit growing
to the farmer is not primarily in it's
commercial aspect, or how much
money it will bring in, although the
receipts from the sale of the surplus
are not to be despised, either; it is
rather the "health of good living" that
comes from an abundant supply of all
kinds of fruit that may be readily
grown in that locality, so that all the
year round the family may have all
they can consume. There are fruit
specialists, the Homestead remarks.
of course, just as there are specialists
in other lines of farm industry, who
make handsome income out of the
orchard and small fruit paintings.
They like the work and therefore learn
it easily and keep on learning until
they are gray, and their knowledge be-
comes more valuable every year by
accretion. Any young farmer who be-
gins on a scale adapted to his home
needs may grow into specialist Of
this kind, but thousands never do.
This is no reason why the thousands
should not have all the fruit their fam
lilies can use. Beginning with the most
useful kinds and those most easily
grown, the farmer can gradually sur
round himself with good home or
chard and small fruits of all kinds,
that improve his living and reduce
its cost, thus adding to his comfort
and independence. We do not find it
necessary to do much in the way of
urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about it to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in it,
while those who are not sufficiently
informed must work their way to it,
if at all, by beginning at the bottom
| of the ladder; and there is no better
way to do this than by beginning with
| a few good trees in home orchard,
| and small areas of small fruit for
home use. We do urge this upon every
farmer. If no cash income ever
comes from it, it is still worth all the
expense in time and money that it
costs,

Literature Of Horticulture.

It will be necessary to use very nice
judgment in applying the principles
which govern tree growth and fruit
production; but in these days of abun-
dant horticultural literature and ex-
cellent books Oil orchard economy, no
one ought to be at loss to know what
to do for the best under his own con-
ditions. No two cases are exactly
alike. Advice for your neighbor would
be wholly inapplicable under your
conditions. Every man must work out

Trellis for Tomatoes.

While the tomato can be and often

the fruit ripens more evenly and per-

crop, if the vines are supported by a

q common experience to have DR.. Ayers

its use. Many medicines only suppress

WITHOUT A CABINET.
All Spanish Ministers Resign-It Il
Alleged New Cabinet Will Con-
tinue to Prosecute the War.

Madrid, May 16, via Paris.-All the
members of the Spanish cabinet have
resigned. Senior Sagasta will at once
communicate the situation to the queen
regent, who will entrust him with the
task of forming a new ministry. It is
officially denied that the cabinet
changes are connected with a peace
movement. On the contrary, it is de-
clared that Premier Sagasta's ministry,
when the new cabinet is formed, will
continue to prosecute the war with the
full resources OF the country.
Senior Gullon, in reply to a newspa-
per representative, said the Americans
were blameworthy for harding
towns without giving notice, and added
that the government would address a
note TO the powers on the subject.
With reference to the speech of Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, the British Sec
rotary of state for the colonies, at Bir-
mingham on Friday night, Senior Gull
lon said it had real Importance, not only
for Spain, but for the future of Eu-
rope. He declared also that red book
would be presented to the chamber on
Wednesday next, in which the govern
ment declares the blockade of Cuba
ineffective and expresses the hope that
the powers in Europe and America will
refuse to recognize it,

Washington, May 16.-Several cable
grams were received at the navy de-
partment Sunday morning from COM
manders of fleets, and others were sent
in reply. It was stated that the govern
ment was now in communication with
the several squadrons, and develop
ments of more or less Importance are
looked for in the near future. In con-
sequence of the publication of impor-

all matters concerning naval move

Sunday afternoon, after having been at
sea for three days and with no sign of
the Spanish cruisers or torpedo boats,
said to be in this locality.
The pilots were dropped at Cape
Henry on Friday night and the squad
ron proceeded to sea at a ten-kpot
squadron speed. At sunset active battle
preparations were made. Ports were
closed with steel covers, battle matches
covered, the main batteries of the ships
loaded and men sent to the guns with
instructions for a night watch to be
kept. With all lights extinguished the
squadron proceeded in a southeastern
direction. Towards morning several
heavy fog banks were run into. and dur
ing one Of these intervals the collier
Sterling became detached. To wait for
her was partly the reason that anchor.

Key West, Fla, May 16.-Amid per-

morning. -Four determined boat crews

drew up thousand yards from shore
with their guns manned for desperate
duty.
One cable had already been cut and
the work was in progress on the other
when the Spaniards in rife pits and a
battery IN an old lighthouse standing
out IN the bay opened fire. The war
ships poured in a thunderous volley,
their great guns belchin forth massive
shells into the swarms of the enemy.
The crews Of the boats calmly proceed
ed with their desperate work, notwith-
standing the fact that a number had
fallen, and finished it, returning to the
ships through binding smoke and a
heavy fire. One man in a Marblehea,,
boat was killed and six were seriously
wounded, one of whom, Robert Boltz.
