THE YAQUI SITUATION
Set Forth BY the Pen of One John
DWVer

A letter has been received by the
HERALD, signed by John Dwyer, rela-
tive to the Yaqui affairs in Sonora.
The letter purports to come from Nsco-
ssri. Sonora, and is dated Jan "a, 1900.
The postmsrk on the letter, however,
Is "Bisbee, Ariz., Jan. 23.'
| Mr.. Dwyer denies the truth of the
report, which he says be has read in
some American newspapers, that the
Yaquis and Americans in Sonora are
anxious of the annexation of Sonora to
the United States. He also says that
the statement that the Americans in
Sonora are fugitives from justice il q
lie. He continues:
sit is safe to say that the Americans
of Sonora hate q European as much
as the Yaquis hate the Me4icans. The
Yaquis and Americans thus hold to-
gether by bond of common sympathy.
Americans and Yaquis are hand in
hand in this struggle. The action of
Diaz in encouraging Chinese immigra-
tion encourages the enemies of Mex leo.
The motives of Yaquis and Americans
are the same. the only difference be-
tween them being the capacity for
work and thought, and in that it is we'll
that the differences work together.
The Yaquis and Americans of Son ora
hope aud pray for assistance from
Americans in the United States-from
those Americans who are being forced
from their beloved country by the
intrusion of foreigners. We viii,
heartily welcome them among us."

Over the Capture Of Spion
Kop, the Key Of the
Boer Position.
THEY Hold IT, THOUGH
Heavily Attacked By the
Beers And Subject To
An Annoying She'll
Fire.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-Fear and an Xiety
we're suddenly turned into rejoicing ir
England today by the receipt of dis
patches from Gen. Butler saying thai
Warren had taken his objective point
Spion Kop. Far into the night crowds
of people fingered around the war Of
fee waiting for news, but none came.
Early this morning anxious friends and
relatives of men at the front again
thronged the war Office and in q few
hours their anxiety was relieved by
joyful tidings from Butler. The com.
msnding generals dispatch is dated
Spearman Camp, Thursday, 1910 q.
M. 1t reads:
General Warren's troops yesterday
evening Tuesday, occupied Spion
Kop, surprising q small Boer garrison,
who fed. 1t has been held by us all
day, though we were heavily attacked.
especially by q most annoying shell
fire.
81 fear our casualties are consider
able, and regret to inform you that
General Woodgate is dangerously
wounded. General Warren it is be-
lieved, has rendered the enemy's posi-
tion untenable.
The men are in splendid condi-
tion.''
According to Buffers previous dis
patches, he believes Spion Kop, which
Warren has now captured, is the key
of the Boer position. With it taken
successfully, the relief of Ladysmith
will be rendered less hazardous. 1t
gives the British high ground from
which to shell the Beers in their
trenches and kopjes. That the Beers
realize the Importance of the place was
shown by their desperate attempts to
recover it, which Butler reports.

GOOD CROP OF CORN.
and Thorough Cultivation
Count for Little.

am certain from several years. ex-
securing good crop of corn is good
seed. | may say the other essentials
are good soil well prepared in good
filth and thorough cultivation. But
with poor seed the best growth and
yield will not be secured even though
the soil be rich and good preparations
and cultivation be given.
1t is not only necessary that the soil
be of quality that will terminate
readily under reasonably fair condi-
tions, but the seed must contain sutfi-
cient vitality to send up a strong, vigor-
Gus plant. Unless this is done it will be
impossible to secure good, even stand.
One essential necessary is a vigorous
growth. The corn plant must make a
quick, vigorous growth from the start,
and, while rich soil prepared in a
good filth is great help in this, the
quality of the seed is the starting
point.
Our seed is carefully selected in the
fall, carefully dried out andthen stored
where it is certain to keep dry and at
the same time be safe from vermin. |
never she'll until time for planting. If
the conditions are such as they should
be for planting corn, the soil sufficient
ly dry TO work steadily into a good
filth and then is thoroughly prepared,
there is no doubt but that good, even
stand can he secured
have found by experience that it is
of no advantage to plant corn when
the ground is wet, rough or cloddy.
Better wait until favorable conditions
can be secured, and then if good seed
is used not only will good stand be Sc
cured, but the plants will make a good
start to grow, and then with good Gull
tivation can be kept growing. The
cost when good crop is secured is
very materially reduced over that of
poor yield. so that it pays to take
reasonable care to secure the best
yield.-N. j. Shepherd. in Farmers

Handle Poisons Carefully.

1t is dangerous thing to have the
general run of farmers buying white
arsenic for spraying and mixing and
boiling it themselves. One has only
to inspect the ordinary farmstead to
see how careless the owner is about
things which require careful handling
and weighing. The refuse is thrown
in the yard or into stream. Uten.
sils are left where they were used
There are farmers who are otherwise
and if they have much spraying to
do, the white arsenic can be recon.
mended confidently; but believe
that most people should buy their
poisons ready prepared, even If the
cost is somewhat greater.-Prof. l.
n. Bailey. in Farm and Home.

Orchard Grass for Meadows.

I have tried orchard grass as mead.
ow and found it an utter failure un-
der various circumstances and several
kinds of soil. This is also the expert
ence of other farmers. It is not diff
cult to get a fair "catch," but the
plant has a habit of forming punches
with bare spots between. When cut
early it makes harsh hay, If cut when
ripe it is coarse and stiff like rye
straw, and resembles broom sedge
Stock will refuse to eat the hay un.
less starved to it. 1t requires four or
five bushels of seed to the acre at
high price. From its early growth
1 think it would make good perma-
nent pasture. where it could be
stocked hard and. not allowed to get
over four inches high.-National

allowing the striking Of a match oc-
casionauy to find some particular ar
ticle in hurry. The idea of hang
ing the bale of the lantern in the snap
of buckle is good, for then, no mat
ter how much the lantern is swayed
it cannot fall. 10 avoid changing the
location of the lantern from hook to
hook, an excellent device is to run
an overhead wire along the space de-
sired to be lighted in one or two places
in the barn or stable. To this wire
can be attached snap-buckle with
ring, so as to allow of it's being slid
along from one end to the other, and
thus the lantern can be moved along at
will to any point under the wire.
Another point about the lantern in
the barn is to keep the chimney clean.
A lantern never gives too much light,
anyway, but dirty, smoky chimney,
besmeared with greasy fnger-marks,
will shed just about half as much light
as a clean glass.-Guy E. Mitchell, in

Poultry and Sprayed Poison.

do not believe that there is any case
on record where poultry have been
poisoned by feeding in orchards which
have been sprayed with any of the ordi-
nary poison mixtures. Many years ago
it was demonstrated that when all OF
the grass growing under tree was
fed to a horse after it had been thor
oughly drenched with a Paris-green
spray, the horse was not injured in the
least. I should not hesitate moment
to spray trees with the usual poison
Gus mixtures, for fear Of injuring fowls.
A half dozen hens would have to eat
most of the grass under sprayed tree.

them. = M. v. Slingerland, in Rural

''If you have ever gone around the
head of Lake Michigan on the train
you may have noticed that at village
called Porter there is often quite per-
ceptible change in climate. At that
point you swing from the west to the
east side of the lake. You may leave
Chicago in balmy spring and on the
same trip of an hour or two pass Por-
ter in winter that would be no dis
grace to Dakota. And that's just what
happened to me. Nothing finer in the
way of weather could have been wished
than the brand that waited me from
Chicago Saturday, but we hadn't been
around the point at Porter half an
hour before l was conscious of dis
turbing element to my dreams. AT
first L could not account for it. Then
l noticed that it was showing briskly.
Ten mile farther on the train was run
ming heavily through drifts of consid-
cradle depth. We were not making
schedule time, and as we plowed along
there was more than suspicion that
I might spend the night in snow bank
miles from any town or village.
'When 1 reached my old town the
train was more than an hour late, the
mercury had fallen below zero, and I
stepped into the teeth of a blizzard that
almost carried me off my feet. l looked
around for street car, and then re-
membered l was not in Chicago. The
sole cab had been retired from service
at the beginning of the storm; so set
out to walk the half mile between the
station and the old homestead. Let us
pass over that tramp, merely remark
ing that the last trace of my pleasant
dreams of anticipation had vanished

knocker on the front door of my faith
er's house.
"My welcome there was all could
have wished, and I soon forgot the
trials of the journey. There was the
big coal stove caring like blast fur
mace, and in every room in the house
wood fire was burning. The apples
and cider were promptly placed before
me, and we settled down to an oldtime
chat. AT ten o'clock my good old
mother took a small lamp and led the
way to the spare room, in which fire
had been lighted after my arrival. Here
everything was coy also, and as warm
as toast. The bed, with it's big feather
ticks, looked like a giant snow bank
over against the wall. There was
plenty of wood in box behind the
stove, and mother suggested that it
would be good idea for me to get up
once in awhile through the night and
replenish the fire.

in the morning when I awoke. The
room was colder than Greenland. De"

Proper Treatment of Gapes.

What the cholera is to adults the
gapes are to chicks. Gapes are usually
due to filth, the eating of the residuum
of food previously given, and feeding in
damp places. 1t is thread-like worm
and must be destroyed. The best rene
dy for gapes, if the chicks will eat, is
to add teaspoonful of spirits of tur-
pentine to mixture of one pint of
cornmeal and half pint of middlings.
Thoroughly incorporate the turpen-
tine with the dry materials, then scald
as much of the material as may be re-
quired, and feed to the chicks on clean
board. Put ten drops of carbolic acid
in every pint on the drinking water,
and change the water frequently-once
a day.-Form and Fireside.
