pillow and scraper will do the work we'll.
Leave the dirt excavated along the sides
Of the trench.
Take spade and in the bottom of
the trench cut a smaller one of spades
width and foot deep from end to end.
Lay sticks or short strips of board across
this narrow trench and ON these lay
common fencing board. This will leave
the small trench sufficiently open for
ventilating purposes. In one end Of the
ventilating ditch put a square pipe
made of boards, six inches inside, and
let it slope outward from the end Of the
ditch at an angle Of 45 degrees. Now
commence piling in the mangels and fill
the ditch, beginning at the ventilating
pipe already set, and fill till they rise
in the shape of neat rick 3 or 81 feet
above the ground. AS soon as you have
a few feet iQ length Of the trench so
filled shovel on dirt sufficient to cover
the mangels so that none can be seen
and continue so building and SO COVER
ing till all are stored.
At the last end of the rick put in
pipe set at an angle like the one above
mentioned. If your rick is more than 80
feet long, set one up in the middle, con-
Meeting it also with the narrow ditch in
the bottom. Use no straw or litter of
any kind between the dirt and the man
gels. After all are stored and covered
have straw convenient, and when the
ground is about to freeze for the winter
put on coat of straw that when pressed
down will be about six inches thick and
cover with light coat of dirt. When
the weather is cold, shove an old gunny
sack down the ventilators; when warm,
take them out and let the wind blow
through the slanting ventilators to
change the air. By this method l have
kept mangels till April as fresh as when
first pulled-not wilted in the least.
Commence feeding from, one end
when not too cold, and the dirt and
straw are at hand to close 1t up with.
It is easier to put them up in this way
than to get them to and from cellar.
You have complete control of the tenn
perature and can place them wherever
it will be most convenient to use them.
This is not my invention, but is modi-
fed form of the method used in some
parts of Europe for keeping sugar beets.

ties of mangels, beets or turnips to feed,

1897 for supreme judge was 80, 1874, and the
fusion plurality was only 20S.
The total republican and fusion vote In
1898 for governor was 81, 643; but instead
OF showing fusion plurality, the returns
gave Hayward, republican, plurality over
Poynter, fusion. of 2,295, indicating
change of 3. 034 votes from 1895.
In 1896 the republican candidate for Con-
gress was elected over the fusion candidate
by plurality of 219, while this year the
republican carried every county in the dis
trict and was elected by plurality of 2,2O4,
with exactly the same conditions to over
come In 1896.
The republicans elected every State SEN
ator in the district (6), gain of four sena-
tors over 1896, and elected sixteen members
of the House, gain Of six, making total
republican representation of twenty-five
this year as against twelve In 1896. In the
whole district the republicans lost but three
representatives, the majorities ranging un
der one hundred.
This result is very gratifying to the re-
publican leaders. Yet 1t will not be taken
as conclusive proof that free coinage Is
dead issue. Democrats here are freely pre-
dieting that Bryan will be their nominee
in 1900. The spokesman for the sound
money wing of the party on the other hand
declare that they will control the 0rganiza-
ton In the next election. In that event a
bolt of the silverites In the democratic party
is not improbable.
To what extent the republican managers
will prepare for the campaign of 1900 Is not
fully decided. Senator Hanna has not yet
returned to Washington. and Chairman
Babcock, who at the head of the Congress
sional Committee has just elected republi'
can majority to Congress for the third time,
is now in Wisconsin where he is a candidate
for the Senatorship, which becomes vacant
by the retirement of Senator Mitchell.
Leading republicans, from the President
down, are anxious to see Mr.. Babc0ck sent
to the Senate, in order to have the benefit
of his advice and cooperation. He has OPP
position; but the great service he has rem
dered the party In national affairs is expect
ed to tell so strongly In his behalf that he
will be elected to supplement the fine legal
ability of Senator Spooner by his strong
practical business sense and general politi-
cal experience gained by six years of active
work at the head of the Congressional Com
mittee As soon as he returns to Washing
ton there will be conference to decide on
the future movements of the party.

Peach YellOws.

The symptoms of the destructive con-
tagious disease known as "yellows" in
peaches are stated thus by the Ohio
station:
Premature ripening, by from one to
six weeks. of fruit which is high color
ed and spotted and has the flesh marked
with red.
Premature development of winter
buds in the formation of short shoots or
clusters Of narrow, elongated leaves.
This growth is often very conspicuous
where the old leaves have fallen from
the present years growth.
Growth Of shoots from adventitious
buds ON the trunk and larger branches
of the affected trees.
For the present season general yellow
color of the trees with peculiar back
ward folding Of the leaves and general
premature dropping of the foliage.
The remedy is the prompt removal of
affected trees. root and branch, and burn.
ing them as near as possible to the point
Of removal.
How Bees ventiIate Their Homes.
The buzzing sound that bees make in
their hives and which can be often
heard by those standing outside is not
produced for the sake of the music. 1t is
to expel the bad air. and a row or file
Of them may often be found near the
entrance engaged in that health giving
operation.
Meanwhile there is another little
company standing just outside, "flutter-
ing" the fresh air in. All this time the
little messengers between hive and flow
or 60, come and go and brush past the
ventilating corps with their little loads
OF honey.
As many as 90 bees may be engaged
at once in this praiseworthy process of
giving fresh air to their bones.

Mr.. Mckinley Asks Ambassador White to
Express American Sorrow.

A Washington special says: By direction
of the President the following dispatch was
sent Sunday to Hon. Andrew D. White.
United States ambassador to Germany:
White, Ambassador, Berlin:
The President charges you to express in
the proper official quarter TO the bereaved
German nation and to the family OF the de-
ceased statesman the sorrow which the gov
ernment and people of the United States
feel at the passing away of the great chan
cellor, whose memory is ever associated
with the greatness of the German empire.
ADEE, Acting Secretary.
Ambassador White sent the following dis
patch to Count Herbert Won Bismarck, at
Friedrichsruhe:
"On behalf of the whole American people,
whether official or unofficial, and Of what
ever birth or descent, l tender congratula-
tions upon the mighty career now ended
and assurances of the most sincere sympa-
thy for yourself and your mourning family"
Pastor Dickie, in the course Of his sermon

feelingly to the death of Bismarck, and en-
phasized the coincidence of the demise al

Training Cavalry Horses.

Every horse enlisted in the army
has to go through a course OF instruc-
ton just the. same as every recruit.
It is important, therefore, writes Gill
son Willetts, in Leslie's Weekly, that
;he horse as well as the cavalryman
shall understand his business. The
animal is given lesson in running
round central point, with rope
tied to his neck Balky or unruly, he
is strapped and thrown to the ground.
Later he is taught the various gaits,
is given course in trotting and gal
loping. Following this, he is given
bending lessons, how to passage right
to left, how to turn on forefeet, and so
on. In the drill the movements OF
the cavalry horse must be like ma
chinery. He must be like circus
horse, understanding every command
of his master Another interesting
feature of training horse is to make
him lie down when commanded. In
battle, horses are used by the caval-
rymen as breastworks. When horse
will lie down when commanded the
most difficult part of the training pro-
cess is over.

GEN. GUY V. HENRY.

American gold is at premium of 100 per
cent.
Friday the price of breakfast at the Ho-
tel Francois was 25 centavos; now it is a..
one peso. Everything else has risen in
proportion. The native correspondents
have difficulty in obtaining horses at $500
gold. The natives imagine that the
pockets of the Americans can emit cease
less flow of eaglse and double eagles. There
is plenty of provisions in the city, excepting
rice, one of the staples, which is quoted at
a very high figure for this country.
Our army will not lack for fresh meat in
the march across the island. The broad sa-
vannahs which lie between the undulating
hills swarm with cattle at reasonable prices
and of excellent quality. General Garrett
sons brigade is massed at Yauco, the termi-
nus of the railroad, Is miles off, and will
probably remain there until the army is
ready to move, but it is thought that the ar
tillery will be brought here Immediately.
The railroad is in good order, but much OF
the rolling-stock has teen destroyed. Gen.
Roy Stone found several engines wrecked.
The machinery had been dismembered by
Spanish sympathizers at the roundhouse,
and hidden. General Stone gave them two
hours to get the engines into working order,
under penalty of imprison ment, and in less
than that time the engines had steam up
and were ready to move.
| A stand At Aibonito.
The Spaniards will probably retire as far
| back as Aibonito. about 35 miles ON the road
to San Juan, where they are likely to make
a stand ii they receive reinforcements. They
left here entirely without artillery, which
makes it even more obvious that an attack
| at this point was never dreamed of by them.
| Not a gun was mounted. The garrison was
small and poorly armed. All the guns will
one exception. that were abandoned in the
arsenal when they beat their hasty retreat
were Remingtons, not Mausers.
There was not mine in the Harbor o
Ponce, although two ancient affairs covered
with barancles, were found at Puerto d,
Guanica. These had been placed lher,
years ago. and resisted every effort to ex
piode them.
1t is evident from the wholesale desertior
on the part of the 81 anish volunteers tha
Captain General Maclas must depend in tn,
last resort, upon the regulars. These d,
not number over 5000 in the whole island
and everything thus far indicates an cas-,
conquest. General Wilson thinks he couI,
take the island with his own troops unald
ed, and he predicts that If the troops now
expected arrive, Porto Rico will be ours il
J less than three weeks.
