While the backward spring and long

times as high as it was this time last
year, the effect Of recent rains will soon
be tobring them down again. 1.-THE opin-

is correct the housewives and board
ing house keepers who are now able to
purchase only limited quantities Of
vegetables and fruits need not be
greatly alarmed oyer the long con-

THE SEED BED.
Make 1t EARLY For Late Vegetables
a. Famous Growers Do This. y

Make 1t Early For Late Vegetables.
Famous Growers Do This. rs
Contrary to general custom, the seed
bed for late plants should be made as
soon as the soil can be worked to good
advantage, according to advice Of
American Agriculturist. Let the soil
be worked until it Is as fine as the har-
row or rake can make 1t. Then roll
until the surface is perfectly smooth,
after which cover to the, depth Of three
inches with coarse stable manure. This
should be left on until it is time to
sow the seed, when it should be care
fully raked off, avoiding breaking the
surface Of the soil. Make shallow
trenches for the seed. Sow thinly and
cover the seed with fine sand to the
depth of one-fourth of an inch.
This Is the custom Of the best seed
growers on Long Island and is one Of
the greatest Importance, as the mulch
will not only keep the soil moist, but
the moist, warm air from below will
completely pulverize the small Jumps,
leaving the soil in best possible condi-
ton, for plant growth. No matter how
dry the season may be the soil will re-
tain sufficient moisture to carry on
the young plants until they are sufti-
GENTLY large for transplanting.
The Importance Of preparing the seed
BEL In this manner cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is utterly impossible to Sc
cure a. good crop of either cabbage or
caulifiower without good plants, and
this method, barring accident from
insect enemies, will always secure
strong, healthy plants. This was prov
ed conclusively last year when those
who prepared their seed beds in the
usual way lost heavily, both in the
quantity and quality of their plants,
while those who prepared their seed
beds as recommended were successful.

WHY CUBANS OBJECT.
Form of the American Demands
Causes Bitterness.

Causes Bitterness.
Havana, March 12.-Reports con
tinue to arrive here from all parts of
the island telling of demonstrations
of approval of the position taken BY
the Cuban constitutional convention.
A great number of kilograms are also
received urging the convention not to
yecede from its position. The mem
bers of the convention declare that
they cannot accept the senate amend
nent, and the committee will meet
soon, to draft reply to the Ameri-
can proposals. This reply will then
be submitted to the convention To-
discussion.
Optimistic official reports concern.
ing a disposition and readiness to
yield among the members find no con
6rmation in the latter's written state
ments, which bitterly blame Mr..
Plat and charge that the amendment
passed congress because congress was
nisled with regard to the actual sit
nation.
The real truth is that American in
reference before the work of the con
vention was completed was an unfor-
tunate mistake. It Is almost certain
that the Cuban committee on rela.
lions would; have adopted proposals
then under discussion granting coal
ing stations to the United States, a
limited military occupation and
Supervision Of Foreign Relations
Serious offense has been taken more
on account of the form in which the
proposals have been made than on &C
count of their substance. The result
is a feeling of bitterness which shows
no sign of abatement.
The opinion is frequently heard ex-
pressed here that it is not yet too late
to adjust what is regarded as mis-
understanding if a committee from the
convention should be invited to Wash
ington for frank and cordial discus
sion of the whole matter with Presi
dent Mckinley and Secretary Root
or if a properly selected committee
in the United States should be sent
to Havana for a conference with the
convention. The present strained sit
uation is regarded as needless am
greatly to be regretted by the best
element among the Cubans, including
the members of the convention, all of
whom realize the necessity for Gu
bans to remain tranquil and avoid dis
order of any kind. But if this tense
situation be prolonged or increased
some local troubles may be anticipat-
ed on the part Of the more unruly and
disorderly elements.
