According to a Washington corre-

two important decisions were made at
the meeting OF the cabinet held Just
before the president started for Holy.
oke, referring to the campaign in the
Philippines: First, that in view OF
the strength Of Aguinaldo in the
north, as developed in dispatches from
General Otis, the aggressive campaign
against the rebel chief must be
renewed with vigJr; second, that the
army and navy must cooperate to
maintain tight blockade of Luzon in
order to prevent the landing OF sup.
plies of any character for the rebel
forces. In renewing the campaign
against Aguinaldo the president il

can I when I know you have deceived me

me that my father was not my father,

Culti7ating Dew Into the Soil.
American Cultivator.

American Cultivator.
Any one who gets out at work on the
fields early in summer Will find the
leayes OF plants, and even the surface
soil, wet with dew which has been de-
posted during the night, as the soil
In spring is much colder than the air.
This dew is condensed moisture in the
form OF steam, which bas taken from
the air some ammonia and some car
bonic-acid gas. It is, therefore, softer
than rain-water and also richer in ma
pur1al elements. If this dew Is not
cultivated, it evaporates when the sun
gets up high enough to shine On it,
and al! this fertility vanishes into thin
air. We know farmers who get their
teams out to cuitlvating corn and po
tatoes while both the soil and plants
are wet with dew. They do a fore

ming work late, and then eating hur
riedly, and eating the principal meal
of the day without any rest In which
to digest it. One Of the main adyan'
tages of this plan is that it turns some
dry soil over the dew, thus saving Its
fertiIizing properties from waste.
