\ RECORD OF MISERY AND SUFFERING
FOR TWO RACES.
BADEN-POwELL'S HOPEFUL PREDICTION
NAVAL MANGUvRES-THE DISCOV-
ERY STILL IN DOCK.


Copyright 1901 BY The New-Yort Tribune)
tBY THE TRIBUNE.l
London. July %. / a. m.-The news
mains record of misery and suffering for two
fighting races, each with inexhaustible powers of
endurance. The Beers are credited with sue
cess in forcing steinacker's Horse to evacuate
Bremersdorp and fight it's way to Lembobo in
Swaziland. This incident shows that the clear
ance Of the Eastern Transvaal has not been
effective supposed. The British opera
tions against Viljoen, north of Middelburg, have
been more successful than the official dispatches
have Indicated and four columns co-operated
well in harassing the Beers. The Western
Transvaal is toierably quiet, and few incidents
are reported from the Orange River Colony.
Frenchs campaign south of the Orange River is
making slow progress. and the moral effect of
the sentences passed upon Cape rebels is not yet
apparent The most hopeful word brought by
Baden-Powell is that the cannot last longer
than three or four months. This is not reassur-
ing tidngs for a nation signing wearily for
peace.
Mimic naval warfare is expected TO open at
midnight Sunday, when one OF the main fleets
will be cruising in the North Sea, with support
ing squadrons from Plymouth and Portsmouth,
and the other fleet will be off the north coast of
Ireland, with squadrons al Sciily and the Channel
Islands. These manpuvres will pit one admrals
tactical skill against that of the other and in
cidentally offer splendid practice for two mighty
fleets. Several torpedo boats have been dis
abled in the preliminary cruise. and one or two
cruisers have broken down.
The Discovery still lies at her moorings in the
East India dock. and the stores for her antarctic
cruise will hardly be board before the middle
of next week. Sne will anchor at Spithead for
forty-eght hours before sailing for Melbourne.
and the King will probably inspect her there.
The equipment of the exploring ship for her
cruise is fairly complete. but economy has been
required, owing TO lack Of money. Captain Scott
is an experienced officer. and important scientific
results are expected by the Royal Geographical
Society. /. y. +.

The break in the stock market expect
ed by many yesterday came during the
last two hours of the day. Prices went
off steadily until the close. which was at
the bottom level for the day and from a
fraction to points or more below the
best. The cause for the weakness as far
as the gossip showed was the anxiety
over the money outlook, and some little
uncertainty lest the Burlington-Northe rn
Pacific deal might not materialize Some
careful people believed that the real eX-
PLANTATION of the break on Monday and
the second break yesterday Is TO be found
In the immense realizing that has been
taking place among the insiders during
the past week. and the lack Of hearty sup
port that has been given the market by
these same interests These people advise
the selling % long stocks on every ad-
vance ana caution against purchases ex-
cept or a Few securities, and except on
breaks. The outlook is, Of course a most
uncertain one, because the Morgan clique
is no ordinary 'bob-tail' manlDulatiye
clique, and cannot be reckoned with as
any ordinary bull clique can. but on the
whole the chances seem TO favor the
theory that the market has reached its
elimination, for time at least, in the
majority Of stocks.

loaning at 81 and 6 per cent again and

HINTS FOR GARDENERS.

Sugar corn planted the latter half
or June generally finds an empty mar
ket and sale at profitable prices. 1t
nay follow peas or other early market
garden crops.
Green clover makes an ideal mulch
for raspberries and blackberries.
Spread il two feet each side of row,
sufficiently deep to cover the soil and
keep it moist. This is only practical
on small patches.
For the green pea louise Thorburn's
catalogue recommends spraying or
sprinkling the vines freely with cold
water. We have always noticed that
lice thrive in dry weather, but are
scarce in wet seasons.
One very effective way to check the
ravages of the sinking squash bug is
to search for him and murder him on
sight. You will find the oval, golden
yellow eggs in clusters on underside of
leaves; destroy them also.
4 circular issued by Bnrpee, the we'll
known scotsman, states that maggots
can be kept from destroying onions
by sprinkling along the rows of grow
ing plants sand scented with Kerosene.
Stir half pint of oil into ten quarts of
sand.
The toad is the truckers friend and
should not be molested in the garden
or field. Fully nine-tenths of its food
consists of insects that are injurious
to plants. We should forgive our
friend for taking in the other tenth
that is beneficial to our crops.
The timely and proper cultivation
of sweet potatoes by horse power rem
ders hand hoeing unnecessary. 1t is
an expensive mistake for grower
of this crop to neglect cultivation until
weeds get such a start that pulling by
hand and hoeing must be resorted to.

SORTING APPLES PAYS.
a Fact which Intelligent Fruit
Growers should Bear I'm Mind All
the Year Around.

Market peculiarities have TO be met
and their demands satisfied. The man
that sells apples should always sort
them, for he will find n reader market
for the different sizes if sorted than IL
sold together. No one appears to
fancy a lot of little and big apples in
the same lot. Buyers are governed by
different motives in their purchases.
Some well-to-do buyers want uni
form lot of large apples of good color,
and will pay an advanced price for
them. But many people prefer apples
of medium size or below providing
they are well-colored. This is espe-
cially true of the heads of families of
children, where apples are purchased
in quantities of peck at time. A
peck of big apples is soon used up,
while a peck of medium-sized or small
apples will last longer and give the
children more satisfaction. The pur-
chasers of these apples prefer them
even at the same price they might
have to pay for the large ones. An
other very large class of people pur-
chase small apples. They are the
keepers of boarding houses and hotels,
and the purchases by these people are
very large in quantity. The boarding
house keeper knows that, as a general
thing, each guest will eat only one
apple, whether large or small, and as
a matter of economy the small fruit
Is purchased. These things show the
necessity of sorting all fruit like
apples.-Farmers' Review.

bean. Do Wen in Sod.

A Michigan reader asks me whether
white beans will grow well in sod.
A good clover sod is always one OF
the best soil conditions preparatory
to such crops as corn, potatoes and
beans. Corn usually does first-rate
on newly turned sod. / usually pillow
the sod land in the fall, and then
work It up with pulverized (disk),
spring-tooth harrow, etc., in spring.
Sometimes cutworms will be very bad
in sod ground, but by planting plen-
ty of seed we can always succeed in
getting full stand. Usually / pre-
fer to plant corn as q first crop after
the sod has been turned over, and
beans or potatoes afterward. But
see no reason why white beans should
not do all right on freshly turned
sod.--Farm and Flresida

After cultivating and hoeing once or
twice, solid posts are set at both ends
OF the row, two TO three feet deep, de-
pending upon the length of row and
possible amount of prospective strain,
and from six to seven feet high. These
end posts are braced with double
strand of No. or 0 wire, running from
top of post to an imbedded anchor of
stone or chunk of wood or post driven
into the ground at an angle of about
four to six feet from posts. Stakes or
posts are placed at intervals of from
30 10 so feet along the row, same
height of end posts. A No. IL wire is
then run through, first at the top, fast
ening on each of center stakes with
wire staple, loosely driven, secured at
one end and made perfectly tight with
fence or wire stretcher. A second run
of wire is placed on bottom of posts
six to eight inches from the ground.
Grape or light wool Irvine, either two
or three ply, is now put on these wires
from bottom TO top and fastened with
loop or knot, which are six inches
apart TO prevent shifting, as shown in
lower figure. The strand over st" in
word knot is passed up back of wire,
brought over above, then in front, I'M
der and up, back and up and over in
front and between line wire and the
first circle over.
Most of the vines will get hold Of the
strings without training and any that
do not may readily be placed on the
Irvine by hand. Hoeing and horse cul-
tivation may be carried on until beans
come in bloom. Rows should be four
feet apart. The pods are more easily
gathered from this arrangement than
from poles. The original cost is but
little more than poles, while the gal
vanized wire will last n lifetime. Peas
may be grown on this plan as well as
beans. Irvine and dead vines should
be stripped from wires at the end of
season and wire coiled for another
Year,. NJ. Winans, in Farm and Gar
