Spanish Trouble Serious.

Madrid, Nov. 14.-A dispatch from
Tetuan, Morocco, where the Kabyte
tribes have rebelled, shows that the sit

BODY of armed Tetuanites has been de-
feated in fight with the rebels and
compelled to retreat to the town. The
rebels are encamped at Samoa, half an
hour distant from Tetutan, where all
business is suspended. In Madrid the
position of the Europeans at Tetuan is
considered not to be grave. The news.
papers comment on Spain's continued
i'll fortune, as again evidenced by the
fact that the country is without a Cabl-
net at the hme of such an important
crisis.

FAyORs FOREST RESERVE.
Baker County Irrigation Delegates
Pass Resolutions.

Baker City, Nov. 14-At a meeting
this evening of the Baker county dele.
cation to the State Irrigation Conven-
ton at Portland next week, the matter
of the forest reserve came up and was
discussed at length. The differences of
the mining and irrigation interests were
finally adjusted by the adoption of the
following declaration as the policy to be
pursued by the Baker county delegates: ::
lit is the sense of this delegation that
we favor the establishment of forest
reserve in the Blue Mountains, under
srch regulations as will not harass, an.
noy or delay in any manner the develop
ment or working of our mines"
This declaration is in harmony with
the forest reserve law. The mining
men have been absolutely opposed to
the reserve upon any conditions until
lately. Now they are inclined to with
draw their objection on the assurance
that there is no purpose on the part Of
the Government to hamper the working
of the mines.

Shallow Culture of Corn.

That most excellent stock pa
per, the Breeders Gazette, in ad-
vocating the shallow culture of
corn plants, has this to say in
support of it's contentious:
"At six weeks OF age these
plants have developed a verv
complex root system, each plant
having a perfect network of deli
cate rootlets, the vital function
of which is to supply the plant
with food and moisture. IT. a
field planted to corn in rows AZ
inches apart both ways. it has
been found that every inch of the
surface soil Cor as near the sur
face as the moisture extends)
contains mass of roots, some of
which extend more than 4 feet
from the plant to which they are
attached. Any system of cult
walton that prunes orsevers these
roots which feed the corn plants
is bound to arrest growth, and
and hence detrimentally affect
the yield in corn. 1t is obvious
that deep cultivation DESTROYS
the toraging roots of the plants,
whereas surface tillage does not
extend below the layer of top soil
which, owing to it's usual freedom
from moisture, is not permeated
by the feeding roots. Every
root Of a corn plant is developed
for a purpose. 1t is produced TO

FLOYD MEDICINE CO., Detroit. Mich.
From Science to Farming.

We are beginning in this coun-
try ito give important practical
form to our knowledge of the
fact that certain insects live and
do best by eating other insects.
They care for nothing else; they
will starve if there is nothing al
lowed them except vegetable
food; the y are just as much car
niverous as is the cat or the tig-
err.
And these misunderstanding
insects are sometimes very par
ticular as to the kind or species
of insects they use as food; they
do not in certain cases seem to
desire variety, preferring, on the
contrary, to get their support
wholly by preying on one kind.
This evidently is largely, if not
wholly, the way with the unre.
lenting enemy of the San Jose
scale.
We got the San Jose scale in
THIS country, but until recently
we were in the dark as to where
it naturally belonged-where it
came to us from. We knew it
was not originally In the United
States, and it was plain that,
without any natural enemy to
check its depredating progress,
it would surely come to rank as
one of the worst of all our insect
enemies.
The story of what has recent
ly been done on this account is
the story of the wonderfully en-
riching influences coming from
science to farming. Proceeding
on the idea that in the wild state.
where man has not come in to
unsettle matters 8 nd disturb the
balance, it was supposed that
the San Jose scale must have an
enemy steadily keeping it within
bounds, and so a reg ular and
scientific search was made tofind

work for the plant, to furnish il
food and water. Root-pruning
accomplished through deep cul-
ture compels the plant to expend
more of itsenergies in the pr,
duction of more roots and at the
same time deprives it of the sus-
tenance, since with normal OF
uninjured root system no plant
can make normal growth.
These facts ought to prove to
any receptive mind that the ra-
tional system of corn culture Is
that which merely stirs the sur
face soil. removes weeds and
forms a surface mulch.
Without moisture plantgrowth
is impossible. Plants unable to
absorb through their roots ali
they require cannot make perfec,
growth. Deep tillage and th'
t"llacious practice of ridging
when laying by corn facilitate
the evaporation of the soil water
by exposing to the wind and SUI
moist soil taken away from thu
hungry mouths OF the roots.
