Poor Old Gomez,

The story of Gen Gomez is one of
the most pitiful of the many pitiful
stories of the war with Spain. Gomez
has spent the most of his life in strug-
Cling for that freedom of Cuba which
the American intervention obtained
For years he has been outlawed by the
country which was nominally his be-
cause it was the country that domin-
ated. Possibly, had he fallen in with
the ideas that prompted Spain in her
dealing with the colony of Cuba, he
would have met far more enviable
fate than that which is his now For
in his old days, with the war finished,
and his occupation gone, the ingrati-
tude of his people, the people he was
instrumental in leading to freedom,
leaves him stranded in poverty, ill
health and neglect.
Gomez was one of the few men who
made Cuba free. He is the survivors
among the conspirators whose persist
ence finally encompassed the over
throw of Spain, and while he might
never have seen success attained if
Spain had not been brought into con-
tact with the United States through
the destruction of the Maine, neverthe-
less Gomez is the victorious leader, and
if gratitude was known among his peo-
pie his old age would be the occasion
of TIE most tender solicitudes But he
has been ignored and repudiated by
many of the men who fought with him
and by those civilians who nave tried
to take from him all the fruits of his
years Of dangerous toll. Gomez some
day, if Cuba is to live, will be a hero.
But the Cubans of today see their de-
liverer worn out by war and poverty,
dying of disappointment and neglect
and they show no sympathy and no
concern. Gomez cast his pearls before

The Country cIergxman.

An old clergyman who had held a
cure in the depths of the country for
the greater part of his life had occasion
to consult his bishop on certain mat
ter, and, in answer to his letter, re-
oeived an invitation to sleep the night
at the palace. For 40 or so years he had
practically led the life of a recluse, and
it was after many cogitations that he
decided to take the journey to the other
end of the diocese, where the bishop
lived. He arrived just in time for 5
o'clock tea, meal to which he was a
complete stranger.
After tea the bishop asked him to &C
company him to evensong. When they
returned TO the house, the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit candle and showed
his guest to his room. 1t was then just
o'clock, and, though the old clergy
man thought it was. rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for such
simple habits, be prepared for bed. He
had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had drunk a
little more tea, when booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as thought he sprang from his
bed and, shouting Firep' at the top of
his voice, rushed out on to the landing
just in time to meet the bishop, with a
lady on his arm, going down to dinner.

A Lost Opportunity.

1t was near one of the large railroad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years, whose old fashioned attire and
open mouthed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural dis
tricts and not accustomed to the every
day sights of large city, was suddenly
accosted by a sharp visaged youth with,
mister, yer dropped yer wallick. As
be spoke he held forth a large wallet
well stuffed with old revenue stamps
covered with couple of dollar bills.
Uncle Rube looked at the greenbacks
bullying out of the wallet with equally
protruding eyes, hesitated just one mo-
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
getting the better of him, reached for
it. Hold Oh; give us tenner furst, I"
exclaimed the possessor of the wallet.
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment. drawing forth his empty hand,
he drawled out, "Take it out O. the
wallet"
The youth, closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust. turned on his heel
and hurried off. The stranger in town
looked after the youth a moment, and

POTATO CULTURE.
Planting In Drills Recommended For
Large Market Crops.


Large Market Crops.
Planting potatoes in hills is the time
honored method pursued by the major
ity of farmers. But with new ideas in
troduced into the cultivation Of SO
many other crops it Ray well be ex-
pected that progress should invade the
culture of the potato in this respect.
The American Cultivator says that
wherever the crop is largely grown for
market putting the potatoes in drills
and ridging the soil over them is found
to be the more economical way and also
TO produce the largest crop. This jour
nal contrasts the two methods as fol-
lows:
The advantage of the hill method is
that it enables the farmer to cultivate
the rows both ways. But if he uses his
opportunities to ridge the potatoes when
covering them and afterward harrows
down the ridges, all the good effect Of
the cross cultivation will be secured and
more cheaply The potato crop will be
larger, and if care is taken not to put in
too much seed there will be larger
proportion of potatoes of marketable
size.
Most of the new varieties of potatoes
bunch themselves in the hill and with
most of them there is too much vacant
space between hills three feet apart each
way, which is the usual distance for
potatoes in hills AT distance of 10 to
IS inches IN the lows there will be a
continuous mat of potatoes, while if the
rows are two feet ten inches apart, the
potato tops viii very nearly meet be-
tween them With a potato coverer,
drawing the earth from between the
rows to the potatoes, one cultivation
should be made after the potatoes are
up. This should within "a hours be
narrowed down, going across the rows
with heavy drag, which will leave the
ground nearly level again and will
greatly increase the vigor of the pota-
toes This covering and narrowing must
only be done when the soil is dry. If
rains come SO that the soil would stick
to the potato leaves, it is best to do
without this second covering.
By keeping the cultivator at work all
the time and running close to the pota-
toes while the plants are small weeds
can be kept down among drilled pota-
toes as well as they usually are when
the potatoes are in hills. Some weeds
viii come up among the potatoes in Ell
Their case. We have always found some
hand work needed to remove these in
either case But it should be done while
the plants are small and to remove
those that escaped being covered by the
soil thrown up by the cultivator among
the potatoes in the rows.
Not more than two good eyes should
be put in place when potatoes are
planted in drills. IF we could be entire
1y sure of the seed, one eye in place
will produce as good a crop as any,
with very few small potatoes. In hills
where the whole potato is often planted
the proportion Of small potatoes in the
crop is too large to make the crop

succuIent Feed For Hogs.

The hogs stomach is very small in
proportion to the body which it has to
digest nutriment for Hence we have
never favored feeding hogs mainly on
bulky food with little nutrition. All
the attempts to grow hogs CD clover
without grain, even when they appear
successful for time, tend to degener-
ate the hog to his original wild condi.
tiou, when j. was lank, long bodied and
had comparatively little pork for it,
weight. Yet where hogs are being fat
tened they should have some bulky food
in addition to their grain, AID it ought
always to be succulent so as to mix well
with the grain in digesting. Wheat
fine middlings with milk or water will
be eaten greedily by animals fed on
corn, and if to this few raw beets are
given daily it will keep the hog thrifty
and it's pork will be much sweeter and
better than that made by feeding corn
