SPAIN TRYING TO RAISE LOAN
Will Endeavor to Make Deal With Her
Wealthy Citizens Abroad


Wealthy Citizens Abroad.
London. March S.-The English news
papers today confirm the news Of Spain's
purchase of warships. The st. James
Gazette which yesterday published the
denials of the Spanish Embassy and
Spanish Naval Commission. which has
an office in London. says today:
1T is asserted on very high authority
in spite of denials. that the Spanish
government has almost certainly succeed
I'd in buying three nearly completed
cruisers here, and two coast defense
vessels which are about to be launched
in France. Experts are almost as much
surprised at the success of Madrid in
raising money, as by the clever diplo-
macy which secured the CHILEAN and
Brazilian cruisers of the Armstrong;.
at coast believed TO be a million
pounds sterling, almost before the move
was suspected"
Inquiry made here among financiers
and diplomats who are most likely to
know any facts i'm the case reveals gen.
er;,l sceptichsm in connection with the
reports that Il Spanish loan has been
ilnated in London. Spain. it is true, has
made repeated attempts TO raise money,
as previously cabled, the most recent
effort being made only fortnight ago,
when the Rothschilds and other finan-
ciens who were approached emphatically
and finally informed the Spanish agents
that there was no money to be had from
them for Spain.
Dopl
Diplomats here say Spain has endeav
0red TO raise a loan among her wealthy
citizens abroad, offering lien on public
buildings as security, and ii is thought
possible this may he the source of the
present disbursements.

Growing Fancy Strawberries.

A successful grower of fancy straw
berries pursues the following methods
which are so full Of common sense,
mixed with sound business Judgment,
that they are worthy the attention of
growers Of Strawberries throughout the
country, and are quite as applicable to
ordinary crops, especially of vegetables,
aG to fancy berries.
He uses the narTOw-row system, TAX
ing his plants for new beds from between
the old beds and leaving O. row ten
inches wide that was mulched in the
spring with marsh hay In setting new
beds the roots Of the plants are cut to
about three inches in length and a spade
Is used In planting, man welding 1t
and boy setting the plant back of the
spade, spreading out the roots In fan
shape. A small handful, about 400 pounds
to the acre, Of fertilizer is used about
ten days after the plant is set. This is
applied close about the plant, but care is
taken that none Of 1t touches the foliage.
In the fall, 500 pounds Of ground bone
and $50 pounds Of sulphate of potash is
used to the acre. Murate of potash is not
used, as this grower claims that on his
grounds 1t burns the plants. After the
plants are set garden rake is used to
stir the soil and wheel weeder is used
until the first Of July. Plants are set two
and half by three feet apart, and all
runners are kept off until the middle of
July, after which time four runners are
allowed to root from each plant and are
placed at regular intervals between the
old plants.

Care in Feeding Young Pigs.

Too much highly ly-concentTated food,
which is generally corn, Is the cause
of much difficulty some growers Of
pork find in raising young pigs. 1t must
be remembered that food which will
make bone and muscle Is quite as es-
sential as a fattening ration. When the
young pigs, and older ones, too, for that
matter, act restless, gnawing their pens,
stop feeding corn for a while and use
bran and middlings with half pound
of linseed meal to each animal, well
mixed with the grain, generally adding
corn as they improve in health Good
clover hay and alfalfa are also excellent
balancing rations for hogs and they
should have all they can eat Of one or
the other or both, but IL left to their
choice they will prefer the alfalfa A
good supply Of salt and ashes mixed and
some charcoal should also be kept at
all times where the hogs can readily get
at it, for it supplies a material which
will aid in digestion, and something Of
the kind is usually needed by animals
which have as little exercise as hogs
usually get. Lime is also greedily eaten
by hogs and is said to act as preven-
tive of cholera.
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09
To Oura Hams,

The following recipe for the home cur
ing Of hams has ben used for years and is
thoroughly reliable: To 100 pounds Of
meat use four quarts Of salt, four pounds
of brown sugar and three ounces of salt
petre; crush the salt fine and thoroughly
mix the ingredients When the meat is
cold rub in tWo-thirds of the mixture
and pack away in cask. The next day
rub in the remaining third and put the
meat again in the cask, reversing the
pieces once a week. At the end Of two
weeks pour off the liquor in the cask,
boil and skim till clear, and when cool
pour over the meat again. At the end of
three weeks wash the meat in hot water,
wipe dry and smoke three weeks, after
which bag and hang up. OF course one
may vary the salt to suit the taste, and
the length Of time the meat remains in
the brine will regulate it's taste. The
Old-fashioned way of smoking with
smoke from burning corn cobs or chips
Of wood in tight smoke house or even
in barrel turned upside down over a
smouldering fire is far better than paint
ing them with any kind If liquid prep
aration. The smoking should not be
hurried, but they should be allowed to
thoroughly season through and through.

COttOnSeed and Buckwheat.

Experiments in feeding farm animals
with different grains are being made all
the time with view in mind Of obtain
ing q we'll balanced ration that may be
prOfltably and economically fed. Cotton
seed Is fed largely, but is not a safe food
when given as large part Of the regular
grain ration. 1t is not good food for
hogs, but It's flesh-forming qualities
make It an ideal food for all other mature
farm animals when used In connection
with corn aud other grains,
Buckwheat is another food which
should only be used with some other
grain, and its use should be confined to
COWS. II fed for any length of time 1t
Is apt to produce a skin trouble annoy
ing and hard to cure. Fed to cows with
corn to one-fourth buckwheat, 1t pro-
duces large flow Of milk.

Spring Care Of Bees.

The early spring days are precarious
ones for bees which have been closely
housed during the winter, and on warm
days they should have an opportunity to
fly so that each colony may be examined
and its condition ascertalned. Another
point Ia that bees which have been win
tered either in the cellar or in protected
hives out of doors are likely to be short
Of food, and this Is especially the case
II the spring Ia late. Their needs can be
supplied from some Of the hives which
have an over-sHpply, or, II no honey is
at hand, sugar syrup should be fed, using
a feeder made for the purpose, If you
have one, or take an empty comb and fill
1t with the thick syrup Of granulated
sugar and hang 1t in the center Of the
cluster, while the weather is cool. Honey
may be added to the syrup in the proper
tion Of one pound of honey to five of
sugar; boil until it will candy, pour into
cans to cool, then put between two thick
nesses Of newspaper and place on top Of
the frames directly over the cluster.
