Si1u Board Advertising.

If the farmer when lie visited the
city saw nothing on the store fronts to
indicate what was for sale within, he
would think the merchants were very
much lacking in business ability. But
II he rides out through the country he
seldom sees anything to tell him who
has COW or pig, eggs or seed corn to
sell, and he must inquire and hunt
about it If he wants to buy. unless he
has CHANGED to hear before he left
home. 1t would be well for each farmer
to have near the entrance to his
grounds blackboard on which he
could each week put an announcement
of what lie may have to sell, or wishes
to buy. 1t would be likely not only to
help him dispose Of his products, but
by bringing more customers, and some
farther away, enable him to obtain bet.
ter prices. 1t is cheap and very effec.
tive mode Of advertising.

HER MAINMAST BROKE.
Accident to the Cup Defender Constitution
Races will Be Postponed.

Newport, r. l., June 6.-While
dashing along in good whole sail
breeze off Brenton's Reef lightship
this afternoon, with three lower sails
set, the big hollow steel mainmast on
the defender Constitution collapsed
like blow pipe through t he sudden
breaking Of the starboard and win.

only few feet below the spreader,
about three-fifths OF the length of the
mast above deck, and as the top mast
was carried away at the same time,
none of the spars truck the deck ex-
cept the boom, and the latter only hit
it light blows which did not injure
the hull at all. None Of the sails
we're torn and all can be used again.
Fortunately three seamen had just
come down from the masthead after
taking in the club topsail, but the
wreckage swept overheard the second

board however, without sustaining
anything more than few bruises.
The Constitution will be taken to
Bristol where another steel mast is

Immediately retitted, but it will be a
week or 10 days before she is ready to

Corn Planting.

If corn Is planted while the ground is
wet and cold, the germ does not start.
or starts only to decay. In this it differs
from the smaller grains, most Of which
seem not to require the heat or the air
to promote growth, which are needed
by the corn. These causes operate to
oblige many farmers to replant much
Of their cornfelds. If they attempt to
hasten their work by putting the seed
in the ground too early. A depth of
two inches Is deep enough for putting
seed corn, unless 1t is planted very lato
in a warm and dry soil. For level cul.
ture we would prefer to wait longer.
and then possibly go little deeper. but
while level culture seems to have found
favor in the so-called corn-growing Sec
tions, and Is almost necessity where
the weeder or light harrow is run over
1t after the corn Is up, 1t is difficult to
convince the farmer in New England
that he should not hill or ridge 1t up
little as he cultivates it.-New England

BUTTE AGAIN SLIDING.
The Strange Phenomenon Causes Alarm
Amouns the Citizens.

Butte, Mont, June 5.-The strange
sliding movement of the city of
Butte which has been noticeable at
intervals for several years has again
manifested itself by five large cracks
in the earth in different sections Of
the city. The largest crevice WIS IL
inches wide and of considerable
length and depth. Three of the OPEN
ings occur on the west side of town
and two on the east side. There is no
caving, but distinct parting of the
earth, and the granite walls can easily
be seen in them. The gas and water
companies have much trouble on ac-
count of the strange movement, which
frequently breaks their underground
pipes. The city engineer says the
engineering department of the city
encounters the same trouble as eleva-
tions and bench marks in certain
parts of the city are constantly chang
ing. The continuance OF the strange
phenomenon is beginning to cause
some alarm among the citizens OF
Butte.

The Pea VIM LOuse.


Not long since we said that we would
not give up trying to grow peas, al
though the louise worked great deal
about us last season, but we hoped
that they might die out or be greatly re-
duced after one or two years preva-
lence Now we have the report of the
experiment station ut Amherst for 1900.
which says Of this pest: LESS has
been heard about this insect than In
1890, though it has caused consider
able loss in several places in the South.
Whether 1t will increase in Importance
during 1901 is at least doubtful" AS
it appears upon clover and some other
plants, as well as upon the pea. to stop
planting peas would not starve them
out. The season probably was not ia
vorable last year to many species OF
insects, as warm spell started eggs
to Matching early. and 1t was followed
by cold period that was too severe
for the very young. and probably many
persisted But 1t is not best to trust
the work entirely to nature when we
can find a way to assist in the good
work of defending our orchards and
plants by spraying or by other MEANS

AN EXTRA SESSION
OFFICIALS FINALLY ADMIT THAT
IT IS QUITE PROBABLE.
4 All Depends Upon Whether the President
Has Power to Impose Customs Duties on
Trade Between the United States and the
Philippines Members Of Congress Have
Scattered for the Summer

New York, June ga special from
Washington says:
Officials of the administration for
the first time since the announce
ment of the decisions of the supreme
court in the insular cases, admit that
there is possibility Of an extra ses-
sion Of congress in July. If Attorney
General Knox, after careful review
of the decisions, concludes that the
president will not have power under
the Spooner amendment to the army
appropriation bill to impose duties
on goods going into the Philippines
from the United States or coming
into the United Ststes from the Phil
ippines, the president will seriously
consider the advisability of issuing
an immediate call for an extra ses-
sion OF congress- This statement is
made on the authority OF member
of the cabinet.
Attorney General Knox and Secre-
tary of War Root have spent consid-
cradle time discussing the legal
points involved. Mr.. Knox is work.
ing hard on his opinion in order to
have it for the next cabinet meeting.
This meeting is expected to he Of
very great Importance.
A call for an extra session would
play havoc with the summer plans
Of senators and representatives.
They have scattered to the four corners
of the earth. Several are about to
start for the Philippines. Quite Il
number are either in Europe or in
tending to go shortly. II congress
should be called back Immediately,
the house of representatives would
have difficulty in finding place in
which to meet. The hall is complete
ly torn up and an army of worlmen
is engaged in the alterations made
necessary by the increase in the mem
bership of the house provided for by
the reapportinoment law enacted last
winter. If the work should be pushed
night and day it would require several
weeks to get the hall in condition.

DEATH IN MINE.
Eisht Coal Miners Lose Their Lives In
Michigan by EXPLOSION

Iron Mountain, Mich, June 6.-By
the explosion OF powder and the sui
locating fumes that followed, eight
men were killed early today in the
seventh level of the Ludington shaft
of the Capin mine.
There was sudden rumble and
smoke began pouring from the mouth
of the shaft. Rcscuers hurried into
the mine as soon as the smoke had
cleared sufficiently, and found the
eight miners. all who had been work
ing in that section OF the shalt, life
less. The cause OF the explosion has
not yet been determined.
Nearly 30 children were rendered
fatherless by the accident. Only one
man was distigured as if by an explo-
sion, and he but slightly. The 9TH
ers were completely covered with
black powder SCOT. The men were
using II powder thawing machine, and
it thought they neglected to supply it
with powder. 1t is believed the ma.
chinery becoming red hot set fire to
the dynamite, and the men were
stricken down by the deadly fumes
before they could escape. The town
is in mourning and work at the mine
is at a standstill.

TRADE RELATIONS RESTORED.
Dur Exports to Spain This Year Promise to
Break all Records.


Break all Records.
New York, June ga special from
Washington says:
Commercial relations between
Spain and the United States seem to
be fully restored and it is not iinprob-
able that American exports to that
country in the fiscal year 1901 will
be greater, with possibly single ex-
,eption, than in any preceding year.
Exports from the United States to
Spain in the nine months ending
with March, 1901, were valued at
Sl1, $40, $40, against $7,O9l, DAB in
the corresponding period in the fiscal
year 1899. The figures for the year
up to this time indicate that the total
exports from the United States to
Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be
about SIG, 600, 600.
On the import side the figures OF
the present fiscal year are largely in
excess of those of 1899, though slight
ly less than those of 1900 which were
the largest since 1891. The annual
imports from Spain into the United
States since 1891 have ranged from
50, 500, 900 to $4,000, 600, averaging
about "a, 500, 600, while for the pres
ent fiscal year they seem likely to OK.

Soaking Corn for Horses.

One who has tried 1t advises soaking
corn for horses. Have a clean pail or
JAR and after each feed put in as much
corn as Is intended for the next feed
and cover with cold water. At feed.
ing add little salt to this and give 1t,
then prepare the next. He says he does
this and has no trouble with sore
mouth or teeth from the use of hard,
flinty corn. But we prefer to have the
corn cracked when we mix it with oats,
or ground fine and the meal put on hay
that has been cut and moistened. We
think it more thoroughly digested by
the latter method. If one is where he
cannot get his corn to mill. the above
hint may be Of some value to him,
though we would prefer more than six
hours soaking II we trusted to that en-
tirely.-Exchange.

CEBU NOT PACIFlED.
lnsurrecto Town Governments Ara Still
Maintained,

Cebu, P. J., June 6.-Cebu for
the past year has not only failed
to progress, but has in some respects
refrigerated. A year ago one could
at least venture outside the metrop-
oils OF the island with fair chance
If returning unframed. Today the
American who is rash enough to start
into the interior alone does so with a
full knowledge that it is at the risk
of his life.
The United States Philippine conn
mission came to Ccbu to organize the
island into province and found
recognition by the military authori
ties of numerous practically insur-
recto town governments. This is
justified by the military commander
of the district, Colonel McClerand,
OF the Forty-fourth infantry, on the
ground that these semi-government
towns are conducted under the sur
veilance Of the military attachments
stationed in most of the towns. Ac-
cording to the testimony of number
of the subordinate officers, neither
the amounts Of municipal taxes COL
lected, what they are applied to nor
any other details are reported to the
post commander. Several the towns
have no local governments, but it
appears that about all pay tribute to
the native political leaders. Most Of
the leaders are considered insurrecto
at heart and some Of them openly
declare themselves.
The island of Cebu is wholly free
from any hiding places formed by
standing timber, and it has altogether
some 1900 troops of the Forty-fourtll
and 10 regiments Of infantry, yet
General Maxilon the chief insurgent,
continues to operate with 200 rifles
and some scattering bolomen, and
meanwhile the insurrecto politicians
manage to profit by keeping on the
fence and surreptitously encouraging
insurgent sentiment. Colonel Nc
Clernand says that he has had some
correspondence with .insurrecto lead
ers, but could not possibly accept
their terms of surrender.

Is not adapted for fertilizer for field

better results from using 1t around
grape vines and the bush fruits than In
any other way. There Is nitrogen
enough so that when used In the early
spring 1t will promote a good growth
Of wood and foliage, just enough for a
thrifty bush or vine. but not enough
to continue that growth during the fall,
while the phosphoric acid will help to
make growth of fruit and jucier and
better favored fruit than would grow
without it. 1t certainly lacks potash,
and unless upon new soil its effects
would be improved by using about half
the same amount of muriate Of potash
with 1t, which will make the wood stiff
err and more hardy. The amount to use

Der and size of plants, but liberality Is
generally the best economy.-American

Seattle, June 5.-If the strike OF
the metal working unions is not
settled within 60 days at the out
side, an effort will be made by the
manufacturers to operate their shops
with non-union workmen. A state
