The soil is its own best mulch, and the
feeding roots come up close to where
the digging goes, so that a very slight
rain is helpful to them. Where hay or
straw is used as mulch It often absorbs
all the light summer showers, while the
roots beneath have exhausted all the
moisture the soil contained In spring
and are suffering for lack of water.

clover field gets after its crop is cut
from the wasted clover leaves which
are broken off in curing and fall upon

very rich, and as they dry their fer

edges of the heaps, where most of The

1t Is often of great advantage 10
farmers who are beginning the bust
ness with too little capital to make n
contract with some scotsman for cul-
tivsting special crops to be used by
him for seed. In these contracts the
scotsman always supplies seed 50 as to
be sure of It's purity. and he agrees to
take the whole crope AT a specified
price. which Is usually rather higher
than the usual market price of the
same product. This is often done by
seedsmen who let out the growing of
the coarser seeds and roots which they
cannot afford 10 grow on their own
more valuable land.

earliest moment, were locked and cleaned.
Secretary Long has prucently declin to

prior to and during The war.
As far as the army is concerned, while
the original force of nearly quarter OF a
million men caZed into the service by the
president has been largely diminished by
the thinning cut of many regiments and
organizations, II Is the opinion of expert
military authorities that the army as a
who.e is new q more formidable weapon
than it was at any period since the civil
war. Staff corps have cured many of the
evils from which they suffered during the
war. and are prepared 10 move troops with
rapidity. with care for their health and
for iheir adequate rationing during any
campaign.

There she caught the serreyary's eve and
stopped. She was about years old. Her

in the sum of nearly $i.ooo,oo.
On these same premises, the United
States WAS said to have made and held
as prisoners Spanish troops at Manila In
violation of international law because done
after the suspension Of hostilities and the
protocol.
A further charge was that by the i'm
prisonment Of the Spanish troops at Manila
the United States had prevented SPAN
from Quelling the Instruction. and had
thus contributed to the violence against
Spain after the cessation OF hostilites.
Today's Spanish p-esentment also cited
the refusal Of the Americans to consider
the Cuban debt on the ground that it was
not sanctioned in the protocol. and demand
ed an adherence 10 this as a precedence to
the discussion OF the Philippines, regarding
discussion of which the Spanish commits
sioners held the protocol to make no men,

ments and demands, the Spanish present
ment invokes SPANS record in the CORE
spondence by mail and telegraph, though
1t is not known unoficially whether the
Spaniards produced the message said to
have been sent from Madrid to NJ Cambon
at the time the protocol was signed. in
which, it was affirmed today. Spain re-
served her Philippine sovereignty
The presentment was read by Interpreter
Ferguson, being rendered from the Spanish
in which 1t was written into English. At
the close Of the reading the Americans
said they would wish the Spanish state

more careful consideration and an adjourn

Characteristic Spanish Comment.
MADRID, Nov. A-The Impartial today,
commenting upon the peace negotiations
now in progress in Paris. says:
'If the United States had shown in the
protocol the intention to keep the Philip
pine islands, the matter would not have
taken the course II did. Spain never con-
sdered the Philippines as lost, nor has she
desired their loss. On the contrary, her
intentions were shown by her facing the
anger of Germany on the question OF the
Caroline islands. America, by her conduct.
has lost her place among civilized people,
and henceforth will only be counted as the

SALISBURY SAYS TROUBLE IS OVER
Takes Occasion OF the Kitchener
BANQUET to Announce It

LONDON, Nov. 4-The banquet given to
Gen. Kitchener at the Mansion House to-
night was an exceptionally brilliant affair.
The guests included the Duke OF Cam
bridge. the Marquis OF Salisbury and other
celebrated people.
After the dinner proper the lady mayoress
and a number OF other ladies were accom-
modated with seats in the gallery in order
to enable them TO hear the speeches.
The loving cup had been circulated, and
the lord mayor toasted the queen. the
Prince anc Princess of Wales and the
royal family, to which the Duke OF Cam
bridge responded.
Lord Rosebery toasted the army and
navy, paying a glowing tribute to Lord
Kitchener and his gallant comrades, and
to Lord Cromer and the Egyptian and Sou
danese forces.
Admiral Sir Newell Salmon, first and
principal naval aide-de-camp to the queen
responded for the navy, and the secretary
Of state for war, Lord Lansdowne, for the
army.
The assembly greeted the-~rising OF the
Marquis Of Salisbury to toast the sirdar
with nervous silence.
The premier said in part:
