FARM SUGGESTIONS.

The breeding of plants is as impor-
tant as the breeding of animals.
A well-laid drain is permanent in
vestment that will yield interest every
year.
Over 22,S24,2 99 acres Of the public
lands were transferred to homesteaders
during the past year.
Melon fields that have been infested
with lice or aphis should be cleaned up
and all vines and rubbish burned.
The efforts to breed a rust-proof wheat
have progressed far enough to give us
ground for feeling encouraged at the re-
suit.
Alfalfa is now grown in every county
in Nebraska. Buffalo county leads with
IS 900 acres. Dawson with "a 900, Web
ster, Hall and Furnas each with 10000
acres.
A good fertilizer for early potatoes is
made up of 500 pounds cottonseed meal,
500 pounds acid phosphate and $50
pounds kainit. Apply 1900 to 1900
pounds per acre.
In sowing carrot, parsnip and turnip
seed, it is a good plan to mix with it
some radish seed. The radishes come
up quickly. Mark the rows distinctly,
so they can be cultivated before the other
plants come through.

FRANCE in EARNEST
Determined TO Compel Caatro to Act
in Better Faith
PATIENCE IS FINALLY EXHAUSTED
Venezuelan Dictator Must Disavow
Offensive Attitude Toward French
Charge d 6'Affairs at Caracas or Ne
gotations Will Be Broken Of.

Paris, By Cable.-The offensive atti-
tude cf Venezuela toward NJ. Taigny,
the French charge d'affaires at Car
acas, has aroused Indignation in Off
cisi quarters here. Although the Min
istry has not yet taken definite action,
it is said in the highest quarters that
Premier Rouvier undoubtedly will de-
mand that Venezuela disavow the Of
fensive action and adopt course con-
formablo with the usual courtesies Of
diplomatic intercourse The Venezue-
Ian authorities are now seeking to
show that their action was directed
against NJ Taigny personally, and not
against the French government, but
officiels here do not accept the dlstinc-
ton between M. Taighy's personal and
official capacity.
The semi-official Temps Friday
printed a leading article rejecting the
official sentiment on the subject it
said that NJ. Taigny has been ordered
to insist on Venezuela's withdrawing
her positive refusal to deal with him.
If the withdrawal is made and Prcsi-
dent Castro makes an apology, then the
negotiations will continue If Venezue-
la does not accede it will be unwise to
Immediately break off diplomatic rela-
tions by the withdrawal OF NJ. Taigny,
since this would leave French inter-
ests. unprotected. The best course would
be for France and the United States
to make a joint naval demonstration,
similar to that in which Great Britain,
Germany and Italy took part. The All
thorities here say that exchanges will
occur at Washington relative to the
mutual interest involved in the pend
ing controversies.
M. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
dor to the United States. will sail for
New York.

dispensary.
Taking up the matter of petitions,
lie said anybody could sign Il peti-
ton, even free "nigger, but any
body couldn't vote. The question will
be settled next summer when all white
men will be able to vote. They have
tried six times to kill the dispensary
and had failed.
He called the editors who have been
criticising the dispensary two-by-four
and three-for-a-quarter editors.
He had said to the governor to re-
move the State board ,ecause they
have trampled the law under foot
and ignored many points in the law.
They don't buy under the competitive
system any longer. 1t was not his
business but the governors.
Col. Towil Rises to Remark.
The board says in its advertisements
that no bid for X liquor for less than
$1.5O will be received.
Towill-"Senator Tillnan, that is
false; you know that is not so. ;"
Tillman-"You get the advertise
ment then and prove it. y
Towil!- -"God knows what you did
when you went to Cincinnati.
Tillman--"I didn't go to Cincin-
natl, besides I had only $4,000 to buy
liquor for the whole State; I had to
buy liquor on credit because l didn't
have the money to pay for it,
'fWhat about the request books, Mr..
Towill9n- reply was lost in the
noise which followed.
Senator Tillman then said he had
met Mr.. Towill on the train shortly
after his election on the board and
had congratulated him, telling him
that if he would get in the middle Of
the road he would be all right, and
Towill said that was what he intend
ea to do, but that he had played the
devil doing it.
Mr.. Towill arose and said something
which was not heard by the CORES
-pondent, to which Tillman replied:
"I haven't charged you with steal
ing
"I am not here for any man, but
for great issue which concerns every
home in South Carolina. The bars
have been let down one by one until
the COWS have got in and ruined the
whole business, +" said Tillman.
When asked for a statement after
the meeting, Mr.. Towill said:
"The State board in 1902-3 directed
attention to the matter of the excess
Of stock i'll the main dispensary and
in all Of the county dispcnsaries. No
action was taken.
"The labels were purchased by rea-
son of the suggestion of Senator Till
man that all cheap case goods be cut
out and the estimate was made that
they would last about Is months.
GAS for the financial condition Of
the dispensary when we went in, the
$25O,0OO of old stock was worked off
by our board. The half million dollars
or more of outstanding obligations
have been paid off and today the dis
pensary is practically out of debt. .
