their chances of successful onslaught
on any of the three British strongholds
General Jou bert's chances of reaching
Pietermaritzburg can be said to have

This is already reported to be admit
ted by Col. Schiel. the German officer
commanding the Boer artillery, who is
supposed to have been largely the au-
thor of the Boer plan of campaign, and
who in an interview is alleged to have
said: 1.-THE Beers intention was TO
have captured Pietermaritzburg and
then to dictate terms. But all hope of
accomplishing this must now be aban-
doned.'
There is no doubt that from the Brit
ish point of view the British situation
is rapidly improving. Nearly 5000
troops reached South Africa during
the last forty weight hours, and by the
end of the week 5000 or 1000 more will
be added to the British strength in
Natal. These will probably be pushed

The Charleston has been in Asiatic
waters more than a year. She was
one of the first vessels to be sent to
Manila after the destruction of the
Spanish fleet by Admiral Dewey, the
navy department utilizing her for the
purpose of sending ammunition and
other supplies for the Asiatic station.
Just previous to her assignment TO that
duty she had undergone an overhaul

q Buekwheat As Manure for Turnips
From Farmers Review: 1t is a
common opinion that turnips should
never be preceded in a crop rotation
by buckwheat Some farmers 60 the
length OF saying that the latter has
a poisonous effect upon the land as far
as turnips are concerned. and also
when some other crops are grown. This
opinion was so general and seemed 10
have SO little foundation that series
of tests were conducted to prove the
case for or against. A piece OF land
that had yielded a crop OF rutabagas
was sown TO buckwheat and another
similar plot was allowed TO lie fallow.
When the buckwheat was slight. past
the Towering stage IL was cut, run
through a fodder cutter and then
turned under. Shortly after this a
volunteer crop of buckwheat appeared
and after growing a few inches was
turned under, the fallow plot being
for seeding to turnips al the
same time. The two plots were. ex-
cept in these respects. treated exactly
alike The crop OF salable turnips upon
the buckwheat plot was more than four
times as heavy as upon the fallow plot
and they weighed more individually
The marketable roots from the fallow
plot were more numerous but smaller
and consequently lighter. This expert
ment seems TO indicate that the idea
that buckwheat is not good green
manure for turnips is not correct

respondent of the Huntsville Mercury,

Schley is quoted as saying:

snurc. of scinn..

Scions should come from fruit bear
ing trees We insist that the weak
ness or disposition TO form only wood
buds and runners is inherited, and
therefore no tree or plant known TO
be unfruitful should ever be used for
propagation. II is a well known law
OF nature that when any power or
faculty is not used for a long period
it will become dormant and finally
disappear, and when a plant through
bad propagation or otherwise becomes
an habitual wood bud maker IT IS not
easily persuaded by any system Of till
age to return TO fruitage- l have long
felt that the practice OF taking scions
from nursery rows through many gen.
erations without allowing them to bear
fruit is wrong. Such trees are not
only late in coming into bearing, but
they are easily exhausted and in this
weakened condition readily fall vic
tim TO insects or fungi, and | beg to
express my conviction that this has
contributed more to the present de-
plorabie condition CT our orchards

Vice President Hobart Improving.

Paterson, n. j., Nov. 14.-Vice Presi-
dent Hobart passed favorable night,
and the improvement that has been
observed for several days continued
today. He ate solid food with relish
and it promptly assimilated. With his
meals he took milk. and between meals
was given punches
This is a marked change from his
condition ten days ago. At that time
he was rapidly sinking and his stom-
ach had refused food of all kinds. For
several days he lived on grapes and the
juice of grape fruit, but it soon APP
peared that his stomach was so con-
gested that he could not even take
these.
Mr.. Hobart now spends most of his
time in reclining position and he sleeps
without the aid of opiates. The most
painful and alarming feature of his
illness has been his attack of nervous
ness as night approaches. These at
tacks have decreased.
Mrs. Hobart, who has spent nearly
every minute of her time during the
past two weeks at the bedside of her
husband, feels very much encouraged
and has had more rest than formerly.

Migratory Weeds

Injurious migratory weeds are usu-
ally first introduced into cities and
spread from them to the farms, says
contributor TO Rural World. There
are a dozen chances for the original
introduction of a weed in cities to one
upon the farm. Fine-leaved sneeze-
weed first appeared about cities in the
south. and is now spreading TO the
grazing lands and cotton fields The
Canada thistle in its progress across
the continent has been distributed by
railways. first to the cities Prickly
lettuce has usually been first observed
in cities and towns in its remarkably
rapid spread over the country. The
Russian thistle was first introduced
into the United States on a farm. but
being taken 10 the cities, il now most
frequently spreads from them to the
farms. in many instances these intro
duced species could have been easily
destroyed upon their first appearance
in the cities and towns, and millions
of dollars ds mage to the farmers thus
averted.

Filipino Capital Captured.

Manila, Nov. 14.-Colonel Bells reg
iment and small force of cavalry
entered Tarlac without opposition.
Where Aguinaldo, with his army and
the so-called government, has fled is a
mystery.
Communication with distant points
is impossible, except by means of the
government wire, which is crowded
with official business.
General Macarthur has taken Bam-
ban. This is supposed to be the
strongest position held by the F'ilipinos,
except Tarlac. The brief accounts of
the engagements received indicate that
the rebels fought according to their
recent tactics. retreating after firing a
few volleys. One officer of the Thirty
sixth regiment is the only American
reported killed.

ing an attempt to reach some point on
the coast where he can escape from the

Change in the Yard at Coxton.

The summer will witness important
changes in the arrangement of the for
Warding yard of the Lehigh Valley
railroad at CoXtOn. The most note
wor-hy change will be the transfer Of
the east-bound freight yard from the
extreme lower end to the extreme up
per end. at Falling Springs. The en-
PITY coal cars will hereafter be stored
at the lower end. and the shifting and
handling of loaded east-bound freight
cars will take place at Failing Springs.
where the pole system of shifting will
be adopted. In order to shift freight at
Failing Springs, a Encouragement of the
tracks at that point will be necessary,
the main tracks being shifted nearer
to the mountain, and n long switch
constructed. The old rails 10 be taken
off the Mountain Cutoff will be used
for the new switches.
Yardmaster Brown says that the
changes will greatly facilitate the
handling Of east-bOund freight. With
the monster new engines now being in
trOduced on the Cutoff, unusually
heavy trains will be run, and for this
reason longer and more convenient
switches are needed to make up the
trains. Hence the transfer of the
freight yard to Falling Springs.
