THE CANAL TREATY.
Tbs British Government May Decline
To Accept Amendments.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The fol-
lowing is the text OF the amendment to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty:
Insert at the end of section ) of
article the following:
1T Is agreed, however, that none Of
the Immediately foregoing conditions
and stipulations in sections number /.
2, 3, 4, 5. of this act shall apply 10
measures which the United States may
find II necessary TO take for securing
by its own forces the defense Of the
United States and the maintenance of
public order"
NEW YORK, March ia special
TO the Herald from Washington says:
While Nicaragua has filed no formal
complaint of the Davis amendment TO
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, the feeling
in Pan-American circles is that that
country will interpOse objection to any
attempt on the part OF the United
States 10 carry out its provisions in
time of war.
Senior COrea, the diplomatic repre-
sentative Of Nicaragua here, says that.
as signed, the convention meets with
the entire approval OF his Government.
but he declines TO discuss the Davis
amendment, and how he or his Gov
eminent regards Il.
IL Is known, however. that he feels
that Nicaragua would be Justified in
refusing to grant any concessions to
the United states when a provision in
treaty with third power announces
that u proposes TO take any measures
that may seem advisable with refer
enee TO the canal for its own defence
This may mean, in the opinion Of
the pan-American diplomats, that the
United States may seize the territory
through which the canal passes and
tortify 1t or take any other highland
ed action on the pretext that IL is nee
essary for its own defence.
The Central American REPUBLICS
heartily applauded the Hay-Paunce-
tote treaty, because Of its neutrality

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

| n want Of the union Of theory and
practice in the culture of me farm has
created Il prejudice in the minds of al
most all farmers in regard to what is
called book farmnm--that Il man who
habitually studies farm Journals aud
newspapers is most sure to fail when
he comes to the practical details Of the
farm. That there is some truth in
the statement is candidly admitted,
says The Southctw Fulm MugG@i,.c.
All have known men who could talk or
write ilucntly on agriculture, and yet
were failures on the farm. This arises
from two very natural causes. First,
Il man who is thoroughly cunTcrsant
with the theory of agriculture, and with
those sciences which have Il natural af-
lnity TO agriculture, such rs chemistry
and geology, has most probably spent
the greater portion Of his life IN the
students cell, and has never tried to
learn the practical details of farming,
Just as Il military man may hc u marti-
net III the drill, and yet fail in the more
important work of directing the storm
of battle. In the second place, men Of
great executive ability and Of practical
skill III amy pursuit Irr seldom welded
to theories, and are more diligcnt in OBJ
serving than in studying. Hence IT
often happens that Il most successful!
farmer is unacuuaintcd with the pri-
mary principles of those sciences upon
which agriculture seems TO rest, and
while he can tell by inspection what
will grow best on this field or that, will
probably be unable to tell whether the
soil Is siliccous, argillacrous or calrarc-
Gus. On the other hand, the man of
theory can analyzc and tell the COM
ponCnt parts of The soil in any given
locality, and yet be unable to select
those spots that will produce the best
cotton, tobacco or corn.
The truth is, the thcorist deals too
much in gcncralitics and the practical
farmer too much in particulars. The
knowledge Of both should be united to
produce the greatest results. 1t was
The union of the two that enabled the
farmers of Scotland ON their barren
moors to realize more handsome profits
than aro made by the farmers in the
richest valleys of the New World. 1t
is the union Of the two that has i'll
creased the production OF grain in En-
gland an hundrcd-fold III the last cen
t,lry, and il will he the union OF the
two that will in the future make the
WornOut fields of the South ayait! con-
tribute to the wealth and Sustrnancc of
Il great people. Theory united with
experience and practice will always i'll
sure success.

WHERE MUSTARD Is RAISED

Mustard, the sauce plant of Il nation,
is cultivated only in Santa Barbara
County, California. This locality grow;
the mustard for the entire country and
the hundl eds of acres of brilliant canary
yellow and brown arc Il pleasing sight
to tourists who enjoy the pungcnt odor
Of the mustard flower.
In the region Of which l.Ompor is
the centre $500 acres arc devoted to
the industry occupying the attention of
some $50 farmers. One OF the pccu-
liarltics incident to the cultivation of
mustard is that no farmer employs
himself exclusively in growing ii, be-
cause Of It's absolute refusal to yield
two successive crops from the same
soil. The mustard farmer must there
fore alternate his crops, and he usually
does so by putting half OF his land III
beans, barley, corn or bccts, while
the other half is given over TO mus
tard, and thus Il change in the soil be-
comes regular. What principle Of the
soil is withdrawn by this peculiar sauce
piquant is Il mystery that science has
not rs yet solved.
The I.nmpoc Valley has been in the
business Of raising mustard for eighteen
years, the farmers taking their cue
from the abundance of wild mustard
found on tho hills and in the valleys of
Santa Barbara County, and the success
of the early dcvotccs stimulated others
to follow in their wake.
The best results are now secured
from land lying in the middle Of the
valleys and along the banks Of the
Santa Yucz River. The soil is dark
and almost without grit and the heavier
soil is preferred. In the cultivation of
mustard much water and dampncss are
necessary and one thing that con-
tributes to the success of the IOmpOc
district is its close pl oNimity to the sea,
and the heavy fogs which roll in every
evening arc equivalent to rain, giving
the soil the GOODNESS required.
The sowing time for the brown va
ricty Is in January aud March for the
yellow. The ground is broken and cul-
tivntcd, after which the seed is sOwn
broadcast, four pounds to tho acre.
The mustard stalk is straw color,
growing from four to five feet in
height; the pods are from to i inches
in length, containing one row OF seeds
only. In harvesting the crop Il reaper
is used, cutting the stalks and th,owing
them in punches, where they arc left
TO cure until October. They are now
thoroughly dry and are transported to
some central place and spread out upon
large sheets of canvas, where the
stalks and pods are rolled with il heavy
roller until crushed, after which they
are rakcd Off with hand rakcs. The
chan and seed remaining arc run
through Il tanning machine, which
separates all the light and loose mate
rial, and the seed is ready to sack and
market.
Mustard is the gra:!! est among herbs,
but the least among seeds, and its use
and annual consumption is becoming
greater each year. san Francisco is
the distributing point and much of the
product is shipped to the East and
Middle West.
