GERMAN CRUISER ROUNDED TO
Admiral Dewey Sends Shot Across Her
Bow, and Teaches Her Captain
a Little Sense.

LONDON, July 19.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
United States Consul Wildman in
forms me that as the German cruiser
Irene was passing Mariyeles, off Ma
Mia, the United States gunboat Hugh
Mccullough was sent after her to ask
her to stop. AS the Irene refused to
obey a shell was sent across her bow
and small boat went to discover what
she was doing. The German admiral
protested and insisted that German
ships had right to enter the harbor
without being searched, a claim which
Admiral Dewey declined to recognize.
1t is said that Admiral Won Died
richs. who is in command of the Ger
man squadron at Manila, interviewed
Capt. Chichester of the British cruiser
Immortalite as to what he would do if
the Germans interfered with the bom-
bardment of Manila. Capt. Chiches-
ter replied that only Admiral Dewey
and himself knew that.

GRASS IN ORCHARDS.
There Are Some Circumstances I'm
which It's Presence VIII Usually
Prove Beneficial.

Only by experience and study can
man know how to apply the general
rules of farming. There is no one rule
that will apply i'll all cases. 1t is gen
orally true that keeping an orchard
free of grass and well cultivated is a
means of increasing its fruitfulness.
Yet even this rule will not work well
in all cases. \ great deal will depend
on the soil and the fertility in it, on the
trees and their habits of growth, and
SO on. To set out young orchard and
begin to cultivate it and fertiliZe heay-
ily would often be the ruin of it. Dur
ing the first years of the life of an or
chard it is often desirable to have the
trees grow very slowly. In some soils
this end is easily attained by leaving
the soil in its natural state, even with
no grass cover, the fertility of the soil
being perhaps low. But in a rich soil
other means must be used to prevent
the trees from feeding too grossly. A
cover of grass Will help to do this. Not
only will the roots take up part of the
fertility in the ground but also part of
the moisture. What is left viii prove
enough to give the trees all the growth
they should have. Of course even this
will depend on the year being an or
binary one. While grass is a good
thing to keep out of most orchards. ii
will thus be found to be beneficial un-
der some circumstances. - Farmers

REST FOR MILK CoIs.A
q Matter of Great Importance whIeu
Is Ignored Far Too often by
Many Dairymen.

1t is, we think, a fault of some of the
best breeds of mixers that they can
not be easily dried off, even when they
approach the time for dropping their
calf An interval of at least a month,
and six weeks is still better, should be
left to the cow, in which she should
have an entire rest. Milk is not good
for food for varying periods before
parturition, depending much on the age
and condition of the COW and the kind
of food she receives and digests. A cow
thin in flesh may require eight or even
ten weeks rest before beginning milk
ing again. While we believe that young
heifers after their first calf should be
kept in milk until within month or six
weeks before the next calf is due, it is
rather to get them into the habit of
long milking than because the small
amount they give will be worth the
extra feed and labor required to secure
it.
Unless to supply milk for household
use in winter there is little advantage
in milking the cows that calved in the
spring longer than January of the fol-
lowing year. From eight to twelve
weeks with comparatively little grain
feed will leave the cow in better con-
dition for next year than will crowding
her stomach with grain, so as to force
milk production until near the time her
next calf is due to be dropped. This
last will possibly increase the milk
flow when the COW springs her bag
for the coming calf. and thus cause gar
get, which is an evil that the best milk
ers are likely to suffer from.
Until near the tirc of parturition
the cow should be fed enough grain to
make her gain in flesh. But for two
weeks before she calves this grain feed
should be withheld. lest it stimulate the
milk flow too much. After the calf is
week old. and the danger of infiamma-
ton has past. the grain feeding may be
resumed. taking care not to feed grain
in such quantities as to fatten the COW
rather than increase her milk flow

THE D1GN1FIED WOMAN.
She Was a Little Severe on the Carl
Gus Woman, But She Was
Provoked.

She is a dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
nified woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dignifed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
mad been wondering about the dignifed
woman, and she said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but would
like to know what you have been operated
On for?"
''What?" exclaimed the dignifed woman.
well, explained the curious woman, "my
friend in the next room and I have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dgnifed woman.
The dignifed woman replied:
I have not been operated upon yet"
"Oh!" said the curious woman, sympa-
thetically.
mo, am not familiar with operations"
said the dgnifed woman.
The curious woman interrupted: "They
are very successful here. Don't be wor.
ried''
Il am wondering about an operation ON
the BRAIN" said the dignifed woman, in a
very dignifed and distant manner. 81 won
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs"
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dudgeon.
The dignifed woman was severe, it is true,
but she was provoked to it.-St. Louis Re-

Capt. Eulate Refuses a Parole.
Capt. Eulate OF the Vizcaya is the
only one of the officers who has thus

His reason for it is that Admiral Ger.

entities him to the same privilege.

that the matter will be amicably ar

Busy Studying the Map.
The officials of the department were
with a view, among other things, of
determining the most available port at
which to land the army and the sup
plies. They will not say. however,
which one had been selected. 1t was
suggested in some quarters that the
army might land on the south coast
near the city of Ponce to the southwest
OF San Juan. Ponce is situated on a
plain about two miles from the sea-
board; is the residence of tie military
commander of the district and is com.
mercially the second city of import
ance on the island. 4 fine road leads
to the port playa where is situated
the customhouse. the office of the cap
tain of the port and all the consular
officers. The port is spacious and will
hold vessels at 25 feet draught, an i'm
portant consideration in the landing.
The City Proper has no Military Defenses,
but in the hills to the north of the
town series of earth intrenchments
have lately been constructed.
West of Ponce, where the railroad
and military road touch the shore
earthworks have been constructed tC
guard this strategic point.
There are about thirty mountain
howitzers in Ponce available for the
defense of the city and railroad. The
army would have to travel so miles
across the mountainous country to
reach San Juan. There is, however, a
main road, irregular and circuitous,
connecting Ponce and San Juan.
The Northern Coast of the Island.
The northern coast of the island ex-
tends in an almost straight line from
east to west and Is high and rugged.
The only harbors it has are the follow
ing: San Juan, surrounded by mangrove
swamps and protected by the Cabras
and Cabritas islands and some very
dangerous banks; the anchoring
ground of Arecido, somewhat unpro-
tected, and which has been mentioned
as possible landing place, and the
roves of Cangrejos and Condando.
During the present season the ports on
the coast are safe and commodious I'M
