DEPREDATIONS CONTINUE.

Mexican Troops Apparently Unable to
Cope With the Indiana.
AUSTIN, Tex, March l2. -Advices
from Ortiz, state Of Sonora, Mex, are
that the Indians have continued their
depredations to an alarming extent dur
ing the past week. having ransacked a
great stretch of territory and done no
little damage to several hamlets along
the road between Potam and TORN.
The Mexican troops do not seem to be
able to cope with the situation at the
present writing and it is manifest that
more men will be needed to effectually
suppress the uprisings.

French to Use Our Locomotives.

Philadelphia. Jan. 22.-The Baldwin
Locomotive Works obtained another
large order for engines from France
The order. which Is for thirty large ten
wheeled passenger engines, is from the
Paris & Orleans railway, and Is the
first order for locomotives ever placed
by the company with an American
firm.
In design and manner of construction
these engines will differ but little from
the tcn-wheelCd passenger engines built
by the Baldwin works for American
railways. They will be heavier than
any at present in use on the Paris e
Orleans railway, showing that French
railway officials are awakening to the
Importance of heavier motive power
and heavier equipment. The engines
are to be shipped by August 1st.
The Baldwin works have just ship
ped five locomotives to the Great Cen
trail railway of England and five to the
Great Northern.

The Nalur of su.hsoiilnx-

The natural requisites for farming
are soil, water. air. heat and sunshine.
With one exception these natural bless
ings are sufficiently abundant In the
arid West. That exception Is water.
The greatest question In our agricul-
turc is how TO make the most of our
limited supply of this lifc-giving ele-
mcnt. Making use of our water supply
would be n comparatively simple mat
ter IL all the moisture which might be
brought TO the soil could be held there
until plants could make use of It. But
water Is never still. In seeking its
common level. the sea. 1t runs Off the
surface OF the land or secps through
the upper layers. escaping from below,
and that which is retained for n time
by the soil is being continually dissi-
patcd into the air us invisible vnpor,
In our dry climate the evaporation h
SO great that five or ten times us much
water ns comes to the earth In year
by rain would be lost by this process
alone. Any practical plan then Of saw
ing as much moisture ns possible for
the use of crops is of great importance
and value. Tillage consists Of stirring
the soil, and Is us old as agriculture.
Its effect Is somewhat complex. 1t
breaks up the soil. admitting air, with
out which the plants cannot grow. 1t
looseLs the soil so 1t becomes suitable
for planting the seed, as well ms for
the development of plant roots and for
the absorption OF water brought to It
by rain or irrigation. 1t disintegrates
the soil particles. continually unlocking
and making available to the plant new
stores of plant food. 1t destroys weeds.
Breaking up the soil forms blanket
which prevents the rapid loss of water

shall cultivate the surface of the earth
or shall we find 1t profitable to extend

the earth below the region of the plow.
For convenience we speak OF the first
eight inches of soil which may be turn

and all below this as the subsoil.
Flowing turns the surface soil bottom
side up. Subsoiling does not change
the position of that part of the soil, but

Egg producers ought To bc grateful
to th. Department OF Agriculture for
compiling In Its official literature the
various an,i the hest ways of treating
eggs that arc put away during the
summer months, when they are plcnti.
ful AMI cheap. or twenty German
methods OF preserving eggs the three
which proved the most effective ARE
coating the eggs with vasclinc. pre-
serving them In lime water and pre-.
serving them In water glass. There is
u drawback To the water glass method: I:
the shell easily bursts In boiling
water. This, however. may he pre-.
vented by piercing the shell with q
strong needle. This objection having
been conceded. the water glass method
heads the list. ns vanishing the eggs
with vasclinc takes great deal OF
time and treating them with lime
water Is apt to give them u disagree
able odor. In most packed eggs the
yolk. sooner or later. begins TO settle
on one side and the egg ut once begins

when water glass * used and the eggs
retain n surprising freshness. In one
test II WAS found that u ten per cent
solution Of water glass preserved the
eggs se cffectually that nt the end OF
three ana half months eggs that
were packed on August LIST appeared
perfectly fresh. 4 gallon OF water
glass. which will cost 30 cents. will
make enough solution 10 preserve fifty

Native GrAsses

II Is acknowledged that there IL no

The Investigations of tho Division OF

the country abounds In native species

quircment. There are upland and low
land varieties. there arc woodland and
prairie species. there are kinds which
exist only In the humid regions along
the coast and there are others which
thrive In the arid regions Of the IN
terror. Some are productive hay
grasses or afford abundant grazing.
while others again are valuable Tor

Of the forage afforded by the native
