WATSON GOING AT ONCE.
B mbardmeat Of Spanish Cities to
Begin.

Washington, July The war board
was in session with President Mckinley
for considerably over an hour today.
Secretary of State Day, Secretary of War
Alger, Secretary of the Navy Long, Gen.
eral Miles, commanding the army; Ad-
miral Sicard, Captain Mahan and Captain
Crowninshield were present. The tele-
grams received over night and today were
laid before the board and there was gen
eral conference OF the situation. The
most important action was q decision to
expedite the departure of the fleet under
Commodore Watson to the Spanish coast.
The administration is desirious of be.
ginning the bombardment Of the import
ant coast cities of Spain as soon as posi-.
BILE, and the events of the past twenty
four hours make the project all the more
feasible. With all opposition to Samp-
sons feet removed Watson will sail at the
earliest possible moment. This announce
ment was made by Secretary Long with
great satisfaction. The matter of rein
torcements for the American position at
Santiago was taken up by The board,
which concluded that before reinforce
ments could reach Shafter the necessity
at that point would be passed. Troops,
however, Will be sent, but they are not
in the nature of reinforcements. The
troops, it is stated. will be despatched
as early as possible, but whether they will
go direct to Cuba or Porto Rico, the next
point of attack is yet matter of some
doubt.

How Cervera's Fleet Was
Sunk.

New York, July 4.-The New York
Herald has received from its correspond

the destruction of Admiral Cervera's
fleet:
Three of the Spanish cruisers that
were bottled up in Santiago harbor and
two torpedo boat destroyers were pound
edinto helpless hulks by the guns of Adj
miral SIMPSONS fleet on Sunday in
vain attempt to escape from the harbor.
The vessels were beached in last effort
to save as many of the lives of the crews
as possible. Admiral Cervera, on board
the Cristobal Colan, headed his fleet in
the endeayor to get away at about 9:30
o'clock. So little We're the Americans

last Monday.
County Treasurer Nation was sit

John Locke was quietly seated in
the county clerks office, with his feet
on the table, philosophizing on the
late election.
County Clerk Garvin was making
himself agreeable to occasional call
ers, while his deputy, Mr.. Baldwin,
was doing some "fgerin" in big
book.
Judge Mills seemed to be busy try
ing to catch up with his work which
got behind during the late conflict.
District Clerk Bell had his hands
full settling with jurors and waiting
on attorneys.
Sheriff Prange was bobbing around,
doing the bidding of the court.
We found the jury still out and un-
able to agree in the matter of the per-
jury case from Thayer.
The court was grinding away on a
little case in which Lawyer Sharrock
wanted to collect an attorneys fee
from some money in the hands of the
district clerk in which David Barn
hardt had an interest.
But few attorneys present and very
few 1oungers. The jury really seemed
little lonesome.
All told, Erie was rather quiet; the
boys had all gone rabbit hunting, and
the men were enjoying the fire.

How to Select Brood sows.

In advising young breeders how to
select brood sows, the writer will sup
Tose he has no sows. Would adj wise a
young breeder TO go to some man in
whom he has confidence and tell him
what he wants. If the young breeder
wants to breed for pork alone he need
not be so particular about the droop of
the ear and other fancy points, but he
must have these traits developed to a
marked degree in his prospective brood
SOW. Her ancestors should be good
feeders, good suckers and quiet and
gentle disposition. The general APP
pearAnce of his sow should be large
and roomy with row of six or eight
well-developed teats on each side of
her ,udder. Should young breeder
want to breed for pork alone some
coarseness in SOW will do no particular
harm.
II he intends to breed for the trade
he should get her as nice in appearance
as possible, with size. lie must not he
taken in on those fine, smooth little
chunks; they are delusion and q
snare, and the writer has generally
been disappointed in the outcome of
such as these. A few remarks about
the boar may not be out of place in
this. With sows of good size boar of
. blocky type is admissible. lie should
have a snort, broad head, neat and
straight in every respect, especially
we'll developed around the heart and
ham. He should be the offspring of a
family that are prolific and good snck-
ers, etc. The boar should not be run
with other hogs and his feed should
consist of bran, shorts, oats and milk
principally.
When the breeding season arrives
young breeder should breed his SOW as
late in heat as possible. which is gem
orally the second day; and the date of
service should be carefully noted in a
book or register for the purpose. At
the end OF 1l2 days the breeder can
look for an installnent of pigs. A SOW
seldom farrows before that time, and
she frequently runs over her time one
to four days. This will give young
breeder an outline down to time Of
fnrrow. Should he desire to know how
the writer handles his piga from now
until weaving, he will give it in anoth-
er article, should he request it-Amer.
