CHAPTER XII.
An Execution Delayed.

The prisoners--all that remained Of
the gallant band that fought for the
Republlc-were ruthlessly shot,
This was the first official act of
Philip Of Aragon after the crown had
been placed upon his head. General
salvarez, the greatest OF the prisoners,
was not placed among them, but no
less was the murderous wrath Of his
captors to descend upon his head,
True, salvarez was a prisoner Of
war; and should have been treated with
the consideration and dignity due his
rank.
A certain honor was reserved for
Salvarez. 1t Is true-the honor of
standing alone to meet his death,
And, as IL to mock him, or to en-
phasize the irony Of his fate, the man
who was to command and carry out the
execution Of the republican general
was his old neighbour Pedro Francisco
The loving wife and daughter Of Sal
varez were still with him in the room
which was TO be the last he should ever
occupy in his own castle.
81 fear not for the country" replied
Salvarez. give the President time to
get his army here, and the monster
will never live to see another day. 1t
Is not that which moves me, All, 1t
is the thought of you'll" The general
rose from his chair and paced the
length Of the room. For myself
care little. Years ago consecrated
my life to the Republic. In battle
would give It willingly But 1t is hard
to 60 thus and leave you, my dear ones,
in the hands Of these merclless scoun-
drels. There are no friends left. In
whose hand can l leave your"
"Alas" said bona Maria, "our
friends are dead. Yet | do not fear
for myself. II they take you, my gen.
eral, soon will follow you BY my
own hand l will cheat these monsters
of one victim of their license"
But Jacintal"
"She is young, She must-she
must"
Must what?" sternly asked the gem
eral. "Give herself up to these despoil-
ers? Rather, IL she is true daughter
Of the Republic, She"
A heavy step interrupted the CONVEX
sation.
Pedro Francisco entered.
His black, cleaning eyes glanced to-
ward Salvarez and his wife, and then
rested upon the beautiful, tear-stained
face Of Jaclnta.
He beckoned for her to leave her
fathers side and come to him.
He led her to distant corner, and
bent to speak in her ear words that
could be heard by herself alone.
"You can save your fathers life" he
said.
She glanced quickly and beseechingly
at him.
"Jacinta," he said, have you heard
the order Of the klng?"
She bowed her head
YES" she answered. my father
pays the penalty Of his loyalty to his
country-to your country-wlth his
life."
True" he said. "At noon today he
Is to be led out into his own garden,
and bound, and stood face to file of

to fire. That officer is myself"

cessful operation, and II Is feared that
II may not act with aufiicient prompt
ness during the prevailing dry weather,
The following remedy Is therefore
offered as probably better adapted to
existing conditions, this remedy having
been suggested In 1895 by Prof, 8, A.,
Forbes, State Entomologlst OF Illinois,
dissolve one-half pound hard or
soft soap In one gallon of water, and
heat TO the boiling point Remove from
stove and add two gallons OF coal oil,
churning the mixture with q good force
pump for fifteen minutes, When tho
emulsion 10 formed, 1t will look like
buttermllk.
ITO each quart OF this emulsion add
fifteen quarts OF water, and apply TO
the corn in spray--preferably before
10 a, m. or after D. m. The bugs
should be washed off 80 that they will
float in the emulsion at the base Of the
plant, A teacupful to a hill is gener-
ally sufficient, but the quantity must
vary with the number of bugs lnfest-
ing the corn"
Tho progress OF these bugs through
field may be obstructed by making a
shallow, V-shaped trench with the cor
ner of a hoe and filling II with coal
tar, the tar to be renewed in two or
three days. They may also be des-
troyed by plowing them under and har-
rowing and rolling, These two meth
DDS we're successfully employed by the
Ohio Station In 1SS8.--Chas. .. Thorne,

Preparing tho wheat Tloid.

At this time Of year farmers are
blowing for fall wheat or preparing to
do So The ground Is perhaps a little
hard at this time for the pillow to do
good work, but the rains that have
now fallen should so far to preparing
the land for the operation. 1t makes a
vast deal Of difference about the con-
dition of the land as to the case OF
blowing, and it will pay every farmer
to take advantage OF the conditions
when they are right. The saving to
the horses Is no small factor. When
the ground is in right condition for the
best work to be done the moisture in
it is sufficient to make 1t easy to cut
but not enough to make 1t stick to the
pillow.
That the seed bed should be well
prepared Is the consensus of opinion
among all cultlvators. Pulverization
is necessary II the soil Is to be made
capable Of giving the best returns
Poor blowing and poor preparation
generally is responsible for much of
the shortage in the wheat crops. 1t Is
evident that II the land be left in clods
the soil In the clod will not be reached
by the air, and the elaboration Of plant
food will not go on so rapidly as will
be the case whore the whole is broken
to pieces. Even II the roots of the
wheat plant succeed In penetrating the
clods the amount of food found therein
will be less than in other and better
prepared soil.
When the wheat field is to be ma
nured before being plowed, 1t is better
to put on the manure, spread and pillow
It under at once. This will incorpo-
rate 1t with the soil. II permitted TO
lie on top Of the ground for consid-
cradle time It will dry in Jumps, which
cannot be readily incorporated with
the soil, or If incorporated will not mix
evenly with 1t,
Incidence is to the mind what rust Is
to iron.

Fighting tho ChIneh bug.

The Ohio Experiment Station is re-
ceiving letters indicating an extensive
outbreak Of chinch bugs in certain
parts of the state. and In response 1t
is sending out small packages of fun
gus culture in the hope that it may be
of service in injecting the bugs with a
parasitic fungus which, under favor
able conditions, has been found to be
very destructive to these pests.
This fungus, however, requires moist

sphinx moths whose larvae or cater

mato and allied plants, including oc-
casionally the Irish potato. These
caterplllars, from the fact that each
bears upon one of the posterlor seq

curved horn, have become popularity
known as horn worms Tobacco grow
ers do not distinguish between the two
different kinds of horn worms, and for
practical purposes II Is not In the least
necessary that they should distinguish
them. AS a matter of general inter-
est, however, It may be stated that the
horn on the end of the body Of Caro-
lima is red, while that of Celeus Is
black. Both are green In color with
oblique white stripes on the side OF
the body. These moths Of the two
species may be distinguished from the

PnsturIng MeadowM

In his work on grasses and forage
plants Charles l., Flint discusses the
effect on meadows Of fall feeding. He
quotes tho opinions Of farmers in va
rious sections, all Of whom deprecate
it. even those who are compelled to
practice 1t, and close feeding was in
every case condemned, Mr. Flint says:
1.-THE fall growth collects the ele-
ments of q thrifty growth the following
spring. These are stored up In the
roots over winter for the early use
of the plant. II 1t is closely fed the
spring growth must be proportionately
later and feebler"
Young orchards that are kept per-
fectly clean by cultivation are seldom
injured by mice under snow. There
are some instances, however, where
mice will attack those that stand near
the boundary fences or in proximity
to grass; and sometimes a hard crust
Of Ice or snow may be formed on the
surface, over which mice will travel
beneath a second fall Of snow, in COM
hitting their depredatlons.

Grand Army posts throughout the country, and the
veterans say they going that il gets all
the attention that deserves. 1t was the sole
topic of conversation at the annual dinner of the
veterans OF the 9TH Regiment OF Heavy New-York
Artillery last night at The st Denis Hotel.
The resolution declares that the United States
should purchase two islands for the habitation of
anarchists alone; that ali anarchists banished
for life, the males to island and the females
the other; that all civilized nations be requested
unite in the work, and that the naturalization
laws be amended that foreigner with anar-
citizenship.
These regulations" said !. H Barker secretary
