San Juan, Oct. 9.-Four persons-one
of them woman-were killed in po-
litical street riot in Guayamo, which
lasted all Sunday night. The rioting
started in a cafe when a member of the
federal party shot and severely wound
ed republican. Several of the latter's
party friends tried to lynch the federal,
but were prevented by eight Ameri-
cans. Federals from Arroyo hastened
to reinforce the federals in Guayamo
and a bloody street fight followed.
Three men and woman were killed,
while 20 others, including several po-
licemen, We're wounded. Several of
these will die.
Armed bands paraded the streets
this morning, shooting and shout
ing and terrorizing the town. The
whole district is arming and the po-
lice force is utterly unable to cope with
the rioters. The parties are about
equally divided in numbers. Leaders
of the republicans are urging their fol-
lowers not to engage in rioting, but
the federals are determined to avenge
the San Juan affair and further blood
shed is expected. Animosity between
federals and republicans is increasing
as the time for the election approaches,
and all over the island are evidences
that trouble may break out at any
moment

Have II Discharged Because
All Are Democrats.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 9.-The spe-

democrats, and as the crime charged
involves politics to large extent, the
defendant cannot expect fair and
impartial trial from such a jury.
Youtsey filed two affidavits in support
of the motion.
The jury will be taken to Frank

of the tragedy and will not return
before three o'clock. The most i'm

MULCHING ORCHARDS.
The Only Mulch They Should Receive
Is Thnt Made by the Harrow
and Cultivator.

1t is common thing for the farmer
with surplus of straw to be at loss
what to do with it, and for him to
conclude that the orchard is the best
place to haul and spread it. He ar
CUES that it win act as n mulch and
conserve moisture for his trees, and
ultimately be converted into humus
which will improve the land.
In this he makes three mistakes:
First, straw, which is given the the
oretical value of three dollars ton
when used as fertilizer, is worth little
when spread out thinly and allowed
to decay slowly as in the orchard. 1t
loses it's nitrogen. Second, it fur
nishes excellent hiding places for
mice, rats and other pests, which may
cause great damage by gnawing the
trees. This is particularly noticeable
in young orchards. Third, and most
important, it does actia a mulch, but
in such a way that the surface layer
of the soil is kept moist at just the
time of year it should not be, namely.
the early growing season. This en-
courages the growth of roots close to
the surface, place that is dangerous
to the life of the tree, because In n
very dry spell there are insufficient
deep growing roots to supply the tree
with moisture, and the surface has no
moisture in it, 1t would be better to
sell the straw, alta loss. This would
not mean the loss of the orchard as
well as the straw, if used as men,
toned above. But some extra stock
may be utilized to eat up or trample
down the Straw, and thus make ex-
ira manure and litter. THIS will save
the straw, the orchard and the ma.
nure. The only mulch that the or
chard should receive is one made by
the harrow or gang plow and culti-
vator. This will make the roots &c
deep and thus fit them to Withstand
dry time.-M. 6. Ka;ns, in National
Rural . -Es.

Pruning the Peach Trees.

The peach trees may be pruned
early. and with some trees it is very
beneficial to cut them ont literally.
No old wood should, be left on n peach
tree If the branch is dying, on which
such old wood can be removed to al
low new buds to grow. Some growers
cut off one-third of each tree every
year, claiming that by so doing only
one-third is left bearing, one-third
producing wood for. the next year
and one-third producing buds for fu-
ture growth. Peach trees must be
cultivated and the ground kept clear
of weeds and grass. Diligent search
must be made from April to October
for borers. sor-sA
