the arrival In silence and without man
Hesitation.
1t is said that the government had
advlces from the Azores when the SfaS

some quarters to explain the anxiety to
prevent the public seeing him.

"a prophet ig not known in his own

known or liked In the state In which

missioner james recently.
The Colorado cheese makers are maxi
ing n great fight because under the new
law they cannot sell their product for
eastern or Wisconsin cheese. They
complain that the new law, by forcing
them to brnrd their output as a Colo
rndo product. prevents them from
palming 1t off as outside cheese and
thus from getting II good price for 1t.
One cheese manufacturer who called

Exports of merchandise from the
United States to China in the fiscal
year about to end will be larger than
those OF any preceding year in our his
tory. a decade ago the exports tc
China were less than s3,000,000, and to
China and Hongkong combined were
little over s6.O0o,O00. In the fiscal year
1899 our exports to China will be more
than sl3,o00,0 900, and to Hongkong more
than Sc 600, 600. making total to China
and Hongkong of over s20,000,000, OF
more than three times as much as
that of n decade earlier. That the bulk
of exports to Hongkong may properly
be considered as ultimately destined
for consumption in China Is shown by
the fact that the official reports of the
imports into China show that over Al
per cent of their imports are from the
port of Hongkong. The 1899 exports
to China and Hongkong combined will
show a gain of nearly % per cent oveI
those of last year. while the total ex'

IRRIGATING AN ORCHARD.
An Experienced Man Tells How the Water
Should lie Turned On.

An Experienced Man Tells How tho Water
Should Be Turned On.
In the early work of irrigating or
chards and small fruit plantations.
| methods are sometimes crude. wasteful
OF water. and the water is often irregu-
larly applied. The method of opening
the bank of the lateral with Il spade
and turning out for the rows n suit
able amount Is open to the difficulty
that often those channels will gutter.
too much water runs to certain rows.
the soil, perhaps, is flooded or washed
away, while other rows may not re-
ceive enough. To overcome this ditti-
Guilty neighbOr makes Il quantity OF
boxes long enough to reach through
the bank of the lateral. in dimensions
two or three inches deep by four Inches
In width inside, with gains on the i'll
side of the sluicc boxes admitting the
use of n paddle-shaped gate which he
Is able to raise or lower Mt will and set
the flow to just the right amount of
water. In this way the amount need
ed can be turned in for fifty or 100
rows ut Il time.
a small amount can be turned on
and allowed to run all night. With the
exceptions of very loose soil or grlr
81. the preferable way seems to be to
turn on n small amount. to apply slow
ly, allowing the water to run consid-
cradle period of time and to water by
seepage rather than to attempt to less
en- the time by turning in a large
amount for few hours. BY having
permanent boxes for each and every
row Il whole orchard can be irrigated
ut one time with but little trouble. US
Ing absolutely just the right amount OF
water. Another neighbor has his or.
chard of fifteen ncrcs under a ditch.
The main ditch is eleven feet above
the level to the principal fields and
house. The ground slopes quickly to
the level of the fields and then has an
easy. uniform. natural grade. No lev
cling was necessary.
Using sluice boxes of the same char
acter as those described and boring Il
thrce-fourth-i auger hole In the
paddle gate, he finds that this amount
OF water in thirty-siN hours would secp
from end to end OF rows sixty rods
long, and being supplied In this equn-
BILE manner he secures excellent results.
4 word OF caution should be given in
regard to the use OF water. When too
much water Is used the leaves may
turn from n bright green to n palcr
hue, then TO Il yellow color. decay be-
gins and the leaves finally drop from
the tree. From the excessive use Of
heavy. aeration Is prevented and root
growth hindcrcd.
4 convenient method OF judging
whether irrigation is needed is to re-
move five or six inches of the soil. II
the ground at that depth will pack In
the hand. irrigation Is not needed. FIRE.
pucnt cultivation with smaller
amount OF water gives the best posi-
BILE results. 1t is better to irrigate an
orchard just planted three or four
times the first season. and with age
perhaps the same orchard will not re-
soon as the ground Is dry enough af
ter irrigating. cultivation should al
ways start with great vigor. The land
also Is inclined to bake. to become
crusted and then lose moisture rapidly
from cvaporation.-E. +. Stephens, In

Disease Among Bccs.

Fifty million bees have died in Otcro
county In the past three months. Scna-
tor Swink. who called on Governor
Thomas at the capitol yesterday, is nu-
thority for this statement.
Some malady that as yet has not
been determined has been preventing
the little busy bees from continuing In
the business of being busy. The scna-
tor says the honey industry in Otcro
county Is an important one and is be-
ing inteffcred with by this mnlndy.
Every effort is now being put forth TO
discover the trouble and to stop 1t.
Senator Swink estimates that In Otcro
there were 5000 colonies or hives. with
au average of 10000 bees in each. This
would make 1OO.OOO.OOO bees. of which
number the senator says fully onc-half
are now dead.
The melon crop. he says, is excellent.
He predicts that Rocky Ford alone
will realize S150,OOO from melons ana
that Otero county this year will re-
alizc 100000 from melons.

In the light OF more recent events
1t appears that Cuban honor" Is more
n matter OF official restraint than any
thing else. So long as the Cuban SOL
diers were obed!ent to Instructions. the
exchanging OF their guns for American
gold was mos; degrading transac-
ton. but when they broke away from
their officers, the more gold they could
get. gun or no gun. was evidence OF
their shrewdness. The Cubans are not
much unlike the Spaniards, for. come
to think OF 1t, the Dons parted with
the Philippines for less than l per
cent of what Spanish honor originally
demanded.
