THE GARDEN KEYBOARD

Get busy right now.
Study the seed catalogues.
Don't neglect the advertisements.
Sow peas as soon as the ground can
be worked.
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plums should be among
the trees grated earliest
An earliest green eating onion" Is
one of the new things of 1905.
Trimming time"-the milder days
Of late winter and early spring.
"Prune when the knife is sharp" but
never when the wood is frozen.
Lettuce and radish seed can 90 into
the ground as soon as the surface can
be scratched.
Flowing the garden when the ground
Is wet makes bad work. Better a good
job few days delayed.
Get the first sowing of sweet peas
into the earth as soon as the frost is
out. Cover four or five inches deep.
Cool weather after planting will not
hurt them.
March weather is uncertain, but in
many regions seed Of the harder vege.
tables, such as cabbage, caulifower
onions, peas, parsnips, lettuce, etc., may
be sown when normally good weather
condition prevails and the ground is
dry.
Has it ever occurred to you that
early table turnips may be a very
profitable crop? They can be planted
very early-often before the weather is
settled. Give small dressings Of nitrate
of soda at intervals and reap a hand
some return.
Here is good grating wax: Resin
four parts by weight; beeswax, two
parts; tallow, one part. Break the
materials fine, melt thoroughly togeth
er and pour into pail of cold water
When hard enough, pull and work till
1t gets grain" and is of the color Of
taffy. The hands must be creased.

A very practical hotbed may be con-
structed for use in a small garden.
The bed should be placed In the south
or southeast side of fence or building,
where it will be protected from north
winds and receive the full direct rays
of the sun. Dig a trench eighteen
inches deep and as wide and long as
the size Of the bed desired. -Four by
six feet is usually sufficient. Make a
frame Of boards that will set in the
north side, leaving one foot above the
surface Of the ground and south side
but six inches above the ground.
Cover the top with sash, G, made

The Creamery For Ice Cream.


The creamery industry in Maryland
is in some respects quite different from
that found in the west, inasmuch as
most of those in this state do not con-
fine themselves to the making of but
ter, but make butter only as means
Of utilizing surplus and sell most Of
their products as cream Or ice cream.
The selling of the products of cream
cries for cream and ice cream rather
than the making of 1t into butter has
enabled the farmer to realize better
prices than would be obtained other
wise. Some creameries of the state

Signs of Spring.

The warm rays of the sun in the mid
die of the day have about spoiled the
sleighing on Eastern avenue and most Of
the heavy truck teams have been on
wheels for several days, The mercury
drops below zero about every morning,
but the first half OF March has passed
without any OF the boisterous winds for
which the month is famous. The birds
are wisely keeping farther south until a
warmer wave, though the purple finch
and horned lark have been here all the
month. Within the next two weeks VIZ
may expect the robin, bluebird, song

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-In discus
sing today the contention between the
people of Owens valley and Los -Ange-
les over the proposed diversion of
Owens river, Engineer Grunsky was
reticent, stating that the reclamation
service was not party to the quarrel,
as no project has been recommended
and the government has taken no steps
to acquire the vested rights.
1.-THE people of Owens valley, learning
that the project was being formed" he
said, jumped to the conclusion that the
work would soon begin.
"On the contrary, if the Yuma and
Kalamth projects are carried forward
as seems possible, it will be a long time
before anything will be done on the
Owens project as there will be no

W|7TE EXPECTS
EMANCIPATION
RUSSIAN JEWS TO OBTAIN
EQUAL RIGHTS
DELEGATION IS ENCOURAGED
Messrs. seligman, Straus and kraus
Hold Conference With Russian
PIenipotentiary Shortly Be-
fore His Departure

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Before Mr..
witte left his hotel for the steamer TO-
day he had a conference with Isaac
N. seligman and Oscar Straus of this
city and Adolph Kraus of Chicago.
Mr.. Seligman said after the confer
ence: "Mr. Witte allowed us to foresee
the emancipation of the Jews in Rus
sia and their participation in the gov
ernment of the empire in the same de-
gree and proportion that other Rus
sian subjects are allowed to partici-
pate. Mr.. Witte made no pledges; he
spoke for himself as an individual, but
It is well known that, while not in
power now. he will be soon.
THE Jews in Russia will again enjoy
civil rights. Discrimination prejudicial
to the Jews, the injustice of which Mr..
Witte admits freely, will be ended and
they will be placed on an equal foot
ing with the rest of the emperor's sub
jects."
Mr.. Seligman was asked if the subject
of a loan to Russia to be made by syn
dicate of Jewish financiers had been
broached, but he replied in the mega
tive. THE matter of loan," he said,
was not even suggested. Mr.. Witte at
the time of our first conference with
him at Portsmouth had expressed a
desire to confer with us further on the
question of the persecution of the Jews
in Russia and the visit Messrs. Straus,
Kraus and L paid him this morning
was in compliance with the expressed
wish of Mr.. Witte. We continued the
discussion of economical conditions in
Russia where we had left off, cited
inequalities in the law and restrictions
particularly affecting the Jews and
suggested their abolishment or repeal.
when we left Mr.. Witte impressed
us with the belief that the reforms
urged by us will soon be in effect and
that at no very distant date the Jews
of Russia will enjoy equal rights with
all other Russian subjects"

By Associated Press.
SASEBO, Sept. 12.-Admiral Togos
flagship, the Mikasa, was destroyed by
fire and the explosion of her magazine
at an early hour last Monday morning
while peacefully lying at anchor in this
harbor. Hundreds of lives, including
members of her crew and men from
other ships who went to the rescue,
were lost.
This little town, which has suddenly
risen to a prominent eminence since
the outbreak of the recent war, had
spent a quiet Sunday, peace having
been established. The presence in the
harbor of several warships that had
taken part in the annihilation of the
formidable navy of a great power pre-
sented an object of pride, but the quiet
slumber of the night. while the people
were dreaming of peace after an un-
r~x&1leled series of victories, was vio-
lently disturbed a little after midnight
by terrific explosion accompanied by
severe shock. An eager crowd as
sembled on the coast, only to discover
that a terrible disaster had overtaken
the beloved Mikasa, the flagship of the
great Togo. who led his men to victory
in the life and death struggle In which
the nation had just been engaged.
Words are powerless to describe the
profound disappointment and sorrow
attending this great catastrophe The
absanoa of Admiral Togo from the shin
at the time of the explosion and the
hope that the vessel can be repaired
are the only redeeming features of the
unprecedented calamity. A deep feel
ing of sympathy toward the unfortun-
ate sufferers, coming, as it does. just
after cessation of hostilities. per-
meates every class.

SOCIALISTS SHOT DOWN
Cossacks Fire VolIeys Into Crowded
Meeting at Tifls

By Associated Press,
TIFLIS, Sept. ia hundred Social
Democrats were killed or wounded to-
day In a conflict with Cossacks at the
town hall and many were trampled to
death in the disturbance.
Two thousand Social Democrats had
forced an entrance into the town hall,
which was closed owing to the celebra-
ton of a religious holiday, the behead-
ing of John the Baptist. Revolution
airy speeches were made and the cap
tain of police ordered the meeting to
disperse. Part of those present obeyed'
but the remainder refused and some
revolvers were fired. A large force of
Cossacks drawn up outside the build
ing then fired volleys into the crowd
time and time again, killing thirty and
wounding upwards of seventy. In the
ensuing panic many persons fell and
were trampled to death by their COM
rades and the pursuing Cossacks.
Serious developments have arisen in
connection with the death of General
Prince Amilakhovri formerly governor
general of Baku, whose body is now ly-
ing in a house in the vicinity of Tiflis.
The prince was regarded with bitter
hatred owing to the harsh measures
which he adopted when he was sent on
q special mission to pacify the Caucas-
us, and the revolutionaries threaten the
local priests with death if they attempt
to offer prayer over the body. No one
dares approach the house. Troops have
been dispatched to bring the remains
to Tif1is, and it is feared that there will
be disorders at the funeral.
