The u. S. Government declines
to get excited over the latest pea
nut revolution in Central America,
Notwithstanding the hysteria Of
certain gentlemen who have bust
ness interetes over there. We have
a treaty with Colombia by which
the neutrality of the Panama rail-
road is guaranteed and if Colombia
cannot enforce that treaty this gov
ernmcnt will do so with its naval
. forces, as it has done before. The
gun boat Machias has been ordered
to proceed to Colon, the eastern ter
minus of the Panama railroad, and
it is believed that no stronger force
will be needed to protect American
interests on the Isthmus, but as a
precautionary measure, the cruiser
Ranger now on the Pacific coast
has been ordered gotten i'll readi
ness so she can be sent to the Pa
nifc side of the Isthmus should i
s be thought necessary. This gov
eminent has nothing to do with the
war between Colombia and Vene
zuela, which seems to have grown
out of tine revolution against tn,
Government of Colombia, ard will
not fear in any way unless it be
comes necessary for the protection
OF American interests. That is tn
whole story in nutshell which ha
started all the yellow journal
yawping and predicting that W
are about to become involved i'll a

CAMP MEETINGS have passed out
of public favor in the last decade
and only under the most favored
conditions can even a reasonable
amount of religious interest be
aroused. Formerly it was common
for scores to profess finding peace
in a religious conversion at camp
meetings; but this is a rare occur
renee i'll late years. Camp meet
ings flourish best in Delaware dur
ing political campaigns, and are
1ookeI=aifau as points to gather fol
pleasure rather than for religion:
fervor. The colored folks have
found the camp meetings an easy
source to raise revenue, and at th'
same time afford their people relig
ious opportunities. Camp meet
ings as religious revivals, are thing
of the past.

Fall Flowing.


One trouble with fall blowing is the
careless way in which it is done. Often
times the land is simply plowed in a
careless manner with the thought in
mind that 1t can be finished in the
spring if it is to lie fallow. Some
times the blowing is no more perfect
when winter wheat and rye is to be
raised. The ground should be as care
fully plowed and prepared for grain
sown in the winter as for that sown
in the spring. AS a rule five Or six
inches is most satisfactory depth to
plow in the fall, although, of course,
it depends somewhat on the character
Of the soil. If the ground is intended
for fall seeding, it must be handled in
accordance with it's character. If in
clined to he loose, the harrow and roller
should be used until it is we'll compact
ed. If the soil is naturally heavy, it
should be loosened up just before seed
ing, by straight tooth harrow, and
if rain should come in a few days after
the seed is sewn, it always pays to go
over the entire plot and loosen up the
soil by a light narrowing.

they laid their plans First Of all they
were to black their faces, put on rag
ged clothes and then go to the farm
house and get the honey. On their ar
rival they were met by big blood
hound. A shot from one Of the guns
silenced the animal. Then the owner
put in an appearance. He was seized,
his gun taken away, placed in the CEN
ter of his back, and then his hands
tied behind him and over the gun. Then
he was bucked up to tree and left
there. The boys then got into the
honey. To make matters safe, they
left small kettle Of it in front Of Cap
tain Dave Stewards tent. The next
day thesowner of the honey came into
camp and declared that our company
was nothing but set of thieves.
Captain Stewart became very indig
nant and asked the man if he could
identify the thieves. He replied that
he could Then the entire company
had to run the gauntlet but as the
men now wore the blue uniforms and
were not BACKED up, he failed to identi-
fly them. When he had left, Captain
Stewart said: Boys, don't let your
fondness for honey get the better Of
you again. Chicago Record.

how he met with his supposed acct

impertinences any too kindly, though
he usually avoids giving expression to
his opinion of the questioner. Once in
q while he INDUCES in sarcasm. A
young man who ought to have known
better came up to him one day in the
presence of a number of spectators and
said:
'Beg pardon, sir, but where did you
lose that leg"
Sickles turned a stern look upon him
and answered in his most tragic bass
voice: 'You ought to know"

ridge and passed along the most ex-
posed streets on his way to the church,
always carrying with him his pocket
communion service, apparently stand
ing an even chance of burying the dead,
comforting the dying, or being himself
brought home MANNED or cold in death.
His leaving was daily anguish to
those who watched him vanish over
the brow Of the hill.
One evening, coming back in the
dusk, he saw burly wagner slip off
his horse and get under it in hurry.
His head appeared, bobbing out first
from one side, then from the other.
Above him in the air, bobbing, too, and
with quick, uneasy motion, was lu

in vigorous lodging, the man came out

Farms are getting smaller; the aver

The consensus of opinion among
those who have fed more or less wheat
seems to be that wheat can be fed
profitably, when comparatively low in
price. to nearly all farm stock, provid-

and fed with some other grain. Wheat
and bran was found to be fair grain
ration for horses and wheat and corn

wheat was mixed with oats to the best
advantage Ground oats and crushed
wheat make fair ration for the dairy

Selecting see1 Potatoes.

We never tried the plan of selecting
seed potatoes when we were digging
by taking only those from the most pro
life hills, yet it might be a profitable
method. If like produces like it should
result in a better yield. When we were
farming we had not thought as much
about such things as we have since,
and we were thought little cranky
because we selected our ears of corn
for seed from those that matured the
earliest, allowed a strip Of the best peas
to go to seed instead Of picking them
for market, and allowed the earliest
beans on the hill to ripen. We thought
it paid us we'll to do SO, and those who
laughed at us for bothering so were
not unwilling to come to us for seed.
If it was profitable to select other seed
from the most prolific plants, why not
try it with the potato tubers ?-Amerl.
