A Costly Mistake.

Since beans are not planted early in
the season there is a temptation owing
to the pressure Of early spring work to
defer blowing the bean ground till a
short time before planting. This is one
Of the most costly mistakes that the
bean grower makes. More frequently
than otherwise the crop suffers from
drought at some time during the sea-
son, and 1t is the late plowed land that
suffers most. To save for the use of the
crop the moisture that has percolated
into the deeper portions Of the soil dur
ing the winter and spring rains, the
land should be plowed as early in the
spring as it is fit and narrowed or Gull
tivated at intervals till the time of
planting.-Country Gentleman.

Watersheds OF New Eng1and.

We need to preserve the watersheds
of New England for irrigating our val
ley lands and to give us an equitable
water flow for our industries as much
as do our western people to supply
their great artificial irrigation systems.
The government would not allow the
forests removed after it had gone to
great expense in building irrigation en-
terprises which depend upon such res
ervOirs for success. None the less
should the White mountain and other
proposed reserves be allowed to sue
cumb to injudicious management.
While the cOnduits or streams are nat
ural and have not been an actual out
lay Of expense to the government, new
ertheless the Importance of their Judi
ciOus outstanding by the nation is
equally great. If the national govern
ment will look after the great water
sheds and natural reservoirs of the
country the states will gladly improve
and enhance their forest policies and
resources.-Forestry and Irrigation.

MERELY A NATTER OF HOURS
Opinion at Algeciras Is Also Favorable
to Agreement.

W
Algeciras, Spain, March 20. - The
opinion has gained ground here that a
settlement of the Franco-German con-
trOversy before the conference on Mo-
roccan reforms is merely a matter Of
hours. 1t was currently reported that
the terms of compromise have been
practically arranged, and that an
nOuncement Of an actual settlement
probably will be made at the next
plenary sitting Of the conference, the
date of which has not yet been def
initely fixed, but which is expected to
be held either today or tomorrow.
Details Of the compromise are not
obtainable, but it is stated that the
concessions relate to both the police
and the bank questions, the outstand-
ing points of which are subject to
mutual recession from the apparent
ly rigid standpOints which France
and Germany hitherto have maintained.
1t is understood that the forward move
is the result of pressure from the rep
resentatives of the neutral powers, who
have displayed considerable impotence
over the delay and urged that in
creased efforts be made by the French
and German delegates towards a prac-
teal solution Of the difficulties.

some of the birds escaping. To obviate
this one of the Stats may be made to
slide.
The opening made by sliding this slat
is sufficient to admit the hand and arm
so that any part of the coop may be
reached without leaving an avenue Of
escape unguarded. For early Matched
chicks which come out when the at
mospheric temperature is so low as to
be injurious to them a combination of
coop and glass covered run, as shown
in the cut, has been found very useful.

Optimism at London.

London, March 20. = The clouds
which have been hanging over Alge-
ciras for the past week have practical
ly disappeared, and in the opinion Of
the foreign office the basis of an agree
ment on the Moroccan question will be
reached at today's session of the COP
ference. This agreement will be based
on modification Of the German de-
mands with respect to the police, while
France will concede part of what she
has been asking for in regard to the
Moroccan bank system. The details
will not be published until the meet
ing Of the delegates; in fact, France
will not state what she is willing to
concede until Germany has placed her
cards on the table.
