CuIture of Water Cress.

Salads now form an important part. of the bi4. of fare at all hotels, and water cress is extensively used for salad making as we'll as for garnishing many meats and vegetables. There are many farms i'll the country through which streams of water flow that might be prohtably utilized in growing cress. The plant belongs to the family of aquatics and prefers a situation along the loamy banks of running streams. The running brook is an ideal place for water cress, and as such streams seldom freeze, the eress, being covered with water, is not injured in cold weather, The seeds may be sown in July, simply being scattered over the water to find suit able Judgement along the bank, or cut tings may be set in the mud along the banks of streams at any time, prefer ably in midsummer, when the water is low. When cuttings are used the mud about them must be firmly pres sed down to prevent them from being washed out by the ebb and flow.
 The cress crop is easily gathered, shears being used to clip the tops as they rise out of the water. They are marketed from Christmas until late spring and always bring good prices, yielding three or four crops during the season.

THE GROUND
To Be Broken for New State Capitol
 July 4.

h the columns of the Gazette it was announced several day ago that ground would be broken for the new state capitol on the penitentiary site July 1, and the suggestion was tured that the occasion be made one of a suitable public observance or celebration.
 Chairman Ad Hamberg, of the entertainment committee, to which reference Las just been made, has called a meeting of the committee for 5 p. m. today, when, it is under stood, the suggested celebration will receive due consideration. Chairman Hamber2's fellow-com mltteemen are George Mclean, F. c. Amsbary, Cbas. S. Stifft and c. E. Rosen baum. A public demon stration undertaken by them is sure to be a gala event in every respect. Under their auspices the commence ment of work on the new capitol will no doubt be made a memorable event by reason of the attendant ceremonies. A program can be arranged in which the people of the state will feel a lively personal interest and which will attract them hither in large numbers, equal in fact to the crowds which came to the free bridge opening two years ago.

sheen Rot.

This is q highly contagious disease. Once it secures foothold in a flock, ra- dical treatment is necessary to entirely eradicate it. It is not a blood disease in the sense that it originates in the blood, yet there can be no doubt when a sheep has been lame for a consider able time from this disease the blood becomes, affected, and, in this case when the feet are considered cured the germs of the disease, carried by the blood, will cause q new outbreak. On this account in treating the disease it is a good plan to give some good blood purifier, like sulphur, as an aid to thoroughly ridding the flock Of foot rot.

Fertilizing Meadows.

Unlike clovers, the grasses usually sown for meadows do not gather much if any nitrogen from the aid, although it is all important to their best growth. Quantities of commer- eial fertilizers have been used OH grass lands with but indifferent re- suits. In all cases it has been clearly proven that stable manures, with some chemical fertilizer of nitrogen ous nature, bring the best results, not only in increased yields, but in adding to the food value of the grasses that valuable element protein. Any form of nitrogenous fertilizer will do for application to grass lands, provided also that it is not too expensive. It is not to be inferred that mineral fer tilizers are to be abandoned, for they add to the soil element needed by the grasses, but wherever they are used some fertilizer containing nitrogen in good quantities should always accom- pany them. In the use of nitrogen for meadows, next to stable manures or to augment them, nitrate of soda is the least expensive to use. Manure from well-fed stock added to the nj trate of soda will supply the needed nitrogen in quantities sufficient to show decided increase in the quantity and quality of the crop. The mineral fertilizers need not be used in large quantities, nor more often than every two years if the yearly application is of the nitrogenous fertilizers men toned.

Done by Hail and Wind Storm in
 Cleveland County.

MT. H. L. Wilson returned this morning from trip to the southern part of Cleveland county and re. ports that a very heavy hail storm visited that section Monday even. ing, doing great damage to the young corn and cotton, and that this hail storm w2s followed yester- day afternoon by a wind storm which added further to the damage. The wind, he says, blew down trees and fences and rendered it necessa- ry for some farmers to replaut their crops, the young cotton being beat en into the ground and the corn, which had been plowed out, injured to such an extent that it is feared it will not come out again.

Thousands have been cured of palpita- tion liver trouble, shortness of breath, pain in the side, backache, and numerous other complaints by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine acts directly upon the stomach, the organs of digestion and nutrition and the blood mak- ing glands, and the fact that it cures so many forms of disease is the best proof that these diseases originate in the stomach and must be cured through the stomach.

BUT PLAN OF GOVERNMENT OFFERED FILlPlNOS WILL
 BE ACCEPTED.
POSSIBILITIES SUSPENDED.
Filipinos Will Be Given a Larger Representation Than They
 Expected,

Washington, D. O., May 23.-The highly satisfactory dispatch from Ger. Otis, made public today, was only one of several wkich were re- ceived by the government from Manila. Details of the peace meet ing were cabled quite fully. Official information as to military plans was sent. These dispatches were of such a confidential character that publication of them in their entirety was not deemed expedient. It can be stated, however, that the Presi- dent and those members O the cabi- net made acquainted with the situa- ton are satisfied with it.
 No doubt is now entertained that the plan of government explained to the Filipino commissioners by the SchurmaD commission will be ac- eepted, The Filipinos expressed themselves as satisfied with it. They think that Aguinaldo will take immediate advar tage ofthe amnesty offered.
 A member of the cabinet, in ex- blaming the exact situation, said there was not the slightest incon- sistencv in the statements that Gen, Otis had refused an armistice and that the Schurman commission had offered a form of government.
 Gen. Otis, said this represen ta- tive of the administration, told the Fflpinos he could recognize no form of government. He would treat with them only as individuals. To grant an armistiee would be to recognize the existence of some kind of a government. But in treating with them as individuals, the American commander could and would give them every opportunity to take advantage of the amnesty offered.
 "Gen. Otls, the secretary said, "refused to grant an armistice, but he has practically suspended hostili- ties, and it is not ptobable that there will need to be any resumption. He is not recognizing any Filipino or. ganization, but he is giving the Fiji : ipinos every chance and encourage ment to make peace. "
 The Schurman commission, , the secretary continued, ahas not rec ognized any government existing, but It has held out promises that in the government to be established the Filipinos shall have larger share than they had any expec tation of, A Governor General will repre- sept the president and will be the supreme authority. But he will have Filipino advisers, and as far as possible Filipinos will fill the civil offices. A form of suffrage is prom ised, so that these Filipino advisers to the GoYern1r General shall be given representative character.
