SHARP FIGHTING
 IN SOUTH AFRICA
IN SEPARATE ENGAGEMENTS THE
 FORCES OF LORD KITCHENER AND GEN. DELAREY SUFFER
 HEAViLY-REPoRT DELAYED.

London, April 4.@There was severe neighborhood of Harts river, in the southwestern extremity of the Trans vaal. between part of General Kttche ner's force and the forces of Generals Delarey and Kemp, resulting in repulse of the Boers after heavy losses on both sides. The Canadian Rifles especially distinguished themselves one party com manded by Lieutenant Bruce Caruthers. holding it's post until every man was killed or wounded.
 Lord Kttchener's official report, dated from Pretoria yesterday evening. says:
 General Kitchener QIord Kitcheners s brother) sent Colonels Keir and Cookson from vriekuil. Western Transvaal, March sl to reconnoitre toward Mart river. They soon struck the track of guns and carried on a running fight for eight miles following the track through the bush Emerging on plain, large Boer rein forcements advanced against their Hanks forcing the British troops to take up a defensible position, which they hastily entrenched.
 Fighting ensued at close quarters till the Boers were repulsed on all sides. Delarey, Kemp and other leaders vain ly atetmpted to persuade their men to renew the action.
 Fifteen hundred Boers participated In the engagement but they had suffered too heavily and cleared away to the north, west and south. The British losses were also severe. The Canadian Rifles es- peciaily distinguished themselves one party, commanded by Lieut. Bruce Car ruthers holding its post till every man was killed or wounded. Others of the forces showed great steadiness, allowing the Boers to advance within 200 yards of them and repelling them with a steady rifle fire.~

ANARCHISTS SUPPRESSED
Tried to Distribute Documents at the
 Memorial of AltgeId.

New York April 4.-An attempt of an- archists to distribute pamphlets at the Altgeld Memorial meeting in this city brought prompt suppression at the hands of the police. Three men were arrested.
 When Acting Captain Churchill arrived at the hall he saw men and women dis tributing anarchistic pamphlets, making excuses for the assassin of President Me- Kinley, and attacking President Roose- welt.
 i. Captain Churchill drove these people from the hall. When Harry Hirschkoff and Solomon Beller persisted in distribut- ing the circulars on the sidewalk, they were arrested.
 Later when Solomon Wilhelm called at the station house and claimed to be a friend of Hirschkoff he was recognized as also having distributed pamphlets and he was sent to join his friend in the cell room.
 Emmo Goldman sat in the most prom inent part of the hall, but was kept under surveillance and did not speak during the meeting.

Transportation of Plants.

A bulletin of the Virginia Weather
Bureau says:
We may understand the essentials
OF this complex process best IL we
compare 1t with our own breathing;
for Transportation and respiration of
land plants have much in common
with the breathing of animals. Both
the plant and animal breathe air, and
while breathing it, both give off large
quantities of water from the organs
OF respiration. II you hold a cold.
clean mirror in fret of a person
breathing. its surface becomes at once
clouded with the moisture from the
breath. So, too, II you hold the same
cold mirror close to the foliage of a
growing plant, the moisture escaping
from that will also cloud the mirror.
Now the primary object Of the
lungs in our case is not to remove
water from the system, but to provide
a means for oxygen to enter the blood
from the air, and for the carbonic
acid gas to escape from the blood
into the air. This can take place rap
idly, however, only when the delicate
timing of the air cells in the lungs is
kept moist; and SO the chief function
Of the water escaping from the lungs
is to maintain lneir inner surface con-
tinually wet. Let the lung lining once
become dry. and the rate at which
oxygen could er ,,r and carbonic acid
gas escape from the blood would be
so slow that life could not be main
tanned; and in order that this fatal
accident shall not occur, the lung sur
face is placed On the inside of the
chest, where the rate of the evapora-
ton is very greatly impeded.
When we turn to the breathing of
plants, we find that they, too, are only
able to accomplish that very import
ant work as rapidly as 1t needs to be
done by having very broad surface
against which the AIR may come. but
SO placed that it shall be kept always
wet; and, Just as in our case, it
would never do to have this surface
exposed to the open air, so the real
breathing surface of plants is spread
out on the inside of their structure.
where hot, strong winds can never
reach it. II it we're true that no wa
ter need be used by plants except that
which is assimilated during their
growth and reproduction, and in keep
ing the cells distended and turgid, SO
that whiting shall not occur, then
there would be little need for irriga-
ton anywhere except in the most arid
of arid regions, for then even the
Microscopic moisture of a dry soil
would be sufficient in quantity to sup
ply the demands Of almost any land
plant.

MellIotus Alba.

Recently a press bulletin from the
Ohio Experiment station contained
the assertion that melilotus alba
(sweet clover) grows only upon hard
trodden land or land that has been
''puddled" and cited the fact that
sweet clover grows luxuriantly on
the hard roadsides. The inference to
be drawn from the article is that this
plant grows only on soils that are
trampled and that IL will not grow at
all In fields. The writer of these
lines has abundance evidence that
melilotus alba grows not only on poor
hard soils, but on rich mellow soils.
The northern part of Cook county, in
which the writer lives. is largely over
run with this plant. 1t has taken not
only the roadsides but also the fields
wherever the latter are left unculti-
waited and are suitable for the en-
croachment of the sweet clover. This
soil Is rich in lime and the plant finds
this lime serviceable to 1t. Some
plastering was done in the house Of
the writer and the surplus mortar
90 thAo"h ohbo q StOt VI SAooo bChAhd
the house. This occurred In the
spring and on that spot melilotus alba
came up and flourished to such an ex-
tent that it was the occasion of re-
mark. The inference was that the
sweet clover grew luxuriantly there
because the lime had been thrown on
to the soil. To-day at Winnetka the
parkways are found quite frequently
covered with this plant. 1t certainly
does not refuse to grow on soil mere
ly because that soil Is rich and fairly
mellow. 1t seems to have an affinity
for lime. Moreover even on limy land
1t is easily driven out by the grasses.
especially varieties of the blue grass.
we wonder IL the Ohio experiment
station has tried lining on the soil
where it has attempted unsuccessfully
to get catch OF sweet clover.

Asparagus.

From Farmers Review: In answer
to your inquirer as to how to renew
or move an old asparagus bed, would
say do neither of these, but plant
new bed. This is easy to do, either
with plants or seed The plants are
as easy to raise from seed as onions
and should be planted and cared for
the first year the same as onions.
The plants should be set out in the
spring, when one year old, and they
should not be set so closely together
as was formerly thought best, 2x4 feet
being about right. A horse can be
used in cultivation, and the bed be
easily cared for. The plants should
be set in good garden soil, which
should have been plowed or spaded
foot deep or more.
The depth to put in the plants de-
ponds on whether you grow for home
use or market and on the character OF
your soil. On ordinary garden soil
three or four inches is hest, covering
only an inch or two first. leveling the
soil in after cultivation. There are
several ways of manuring asparagus
beds, but for home use I would ma.
nure with barn manure in November.
after cutting the tops of close to the
ground and removing and burning
them. This mulching should be light
while plants are small, but when they
get large and strong three or four
inches of manure will not hurt them.
An asparagus bed may be cut for use
the third year after setting plants.
and should remain in good condition
for twenty-five years, especially If
plants are set good distance apart.
| will only add that the plants should
be set only on well drained SOIL wet
ground where water stands in winter,
or any time, not being suitable. From
500 to 1900 plants can be raised from
ten cents worth of seed.-Frank Akin.
To the Farmers Review: II Mrs.
0. A. T." will proceed as follows I
think she will have no cause to find
fault with the result. If rows are far
enough apart, cultivate often. Now
off. remove and burn the tops to de-
stroy insect and fungus pests. Get
rid of weeds, grass and volunteer seed
lings even IL it takes narrowing or
light disking. II the bed is small hand
raking will answer. Apply nitrate of
soda. mostly among the roots. about
zoo pounds per acre. After cultivat
ing dress heavily with good stable
manure. II well rotted the result will
be better. Later In the fall mulch
literally with stable manure. and at
the same time add wood ashes or
bone meal, at the rate of 800 pounds
to the acre. This mulch will hold all
snow over the roots and in the spring
should be worked into the soil. Try
this and report result next season.
