BEST TIME TO CAPONIZE.

Fowls Matched any time Of the year
make fine capons; no i'll results follow
the operation at any time in the year.
The bird should be from two to three
months old mot over six months) and
weigh not less than pound to a pound
and a half. The size is equally as
important as the age. April, May,
June, July, August, September and
October are the months generally taken
for caponizing, for the reason that
spring chickens arrive at the proper
age and weight for the operation dur
ing these months, also because cock
erels caponized then reach at the
proper age and weight for market dur

To Determine Length of Dav.

By a simple rule the length of the
day and night at any time of the year
may be ascertained. By doubling the
time of the suns rising, the length of
the night is obtained, and by doubling
the time of setting the length of the
day is given. Thus when the sun
rises, say at five o'clock, the length
Of the night is ten hours.

New Potash Discovery.

One series of experiments have just
EN- concluded by the Department OF
triculture that promise to be of i'm
ense value to the farmers of the
1ntry in furnishing them with a
. " supply of fertilizer at very much
eaper rates than has ever been pos
lie before, and at the same time
kancipating this country from Ger
my, which has heretofore furnished
most our entire supply of potash
ftilizer. 1t is a long and quite an
eresting story, and probably will
ban a great deal to agriculture in
country. The most remarkable
rt of it is, too, that the idea origin
I'D in the bureau of roads, which
minally has nothing to do with fer
zers.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman of
roads Office was working in the
Poratory with very finely powdered
Fix, the idea struck him, as it has
uck a good many other chemists,
BIT it was a natural born shame
! It this country, with an unlimited
bply of rock high in it's percentage
potash, should have to depend on
Ter countries for its potash salts, for
ire has never been any commercial
|posits of the salts found in this coun-
as it is in Germany. He extracted
ne of the potash by electricity,
bugh it is by no means certain yet
1t this can be done on a paying
numerical. basis. But then he de-
ed that as ground rock was very
eapeit might be worth while to try
\ experiment of letting the plants
their own extracting. He tried
Z experiment on his own place up
I1ntry and found that the powdered
ek did actually act as a fertilizer,
bugh the potash it carried was so
b up that it took the chemistry of
'ture to extract it and feed it into
E plant. But the first trial prom

yesterday, when four of the steamers of
both lines did not sail because there were

that failed to go we're The Anne Arundel,
Capt. Geoghegan which runs on the Po-
tomac route. Capt. Willard Thomson,
of Baltimore, the general manager of
the steamboat com 9dnies, said that he
had received between sixty and seventy
designations of masters and mates. OF
this number, thirty were captains, but
he added that fifteen OF the latter had
Withdrawn their designations. Captains
have been getting $75 to 800 month

TOday's Telegraphic News
Conditions In Cuba.

Havana, Oct. Now is the crucial
period OF the American occupation of
Cuba.
Within the next few days the ques-
ton will be answered whether the United
States will be able to occupy the island
peacefully, or have to engage in guerilla
warfare with hundreds of former in.
surgent bandits.
Already there are indications that
many of the rebels who are now asked
to lay down their arms will take to the
woods aud mountains and try to sup
port themselves by highway robbery in
preference to going back home and re-
turning to work. This has been the
grsvest question to meet encountered by
Governor TAFT, and he realizesit Know
ing how much is at stake, he has pro-
ceeded cautiously in his moves to bring
about the disarmament of rebels and dis
banding of the insurgent armies.
But no longer delay is possible. The
insurgents must be disbanded and sent
home before any progress CAP he made
in re-establishing Cuban stability. Com

Washington, Oct. 2.
President Roosevelt was at work IN
his Office shortly after nine O'Clock this
morning and the wheels OF routine bust
ness we're turning with just as much
smoothness as though he had been away
no more than day. The many visitors
WIN called to congratulate the President
upon his return declared he never looked
better in his life. The first Cabinet SEES
sion of the autumn was called at III
o'clock and six members responded.
The sbsentees were Secretaries Taft,
Hitchcock and Shaw, who are out OF town.
The Cuban situation was discussed.
Chas. E Magoon, who has just re-
signed as Governor of the Panama canal
zone for the purpose of accepting another

he may be made provisional governor OF
Cuba.
Thomas w. Fitzgerald who draws &c.
900 year from the city as special ses-
sions Judge, in Brooklyn, must pay his

mitment to Sheriff Flaberty's Raymond
street hostelry has been ordered.
Fraud orders were issued today by the
Postoffice Department against the Je
rome Company, patent medicine con-
Germ of Philadelphia. and the Co-opera-

paid their respects to the President this
morning. Lieutenant Carlo Plister, Naval
Attache of the Italian Embassy, made
the introductions.
Mrs. Gay Robertson, the wealthy
widow who toured the golden west last
year with the Senator Plat party, con-
scented today to an interview. Mr..
Robertson was asked if there was any

Robertson admitted, but she would not
give an inkling of its nature.

London, Oct. 1.-The probability of
a shortage in the cotton crop in America
is causing alarm am ng English manu-.
facturers and there are fears that prices
must be raised TO a record level for man
ufactured goods. England wants 49,
500, 900 bales of American cotton for
next season, aud it is believed she may
be able to secure more than 10, O0O, 900
bales at an increase in price OF one half
a cent per pound, which means a total
increase of $50, 900, 900 to meet the
British requirements.
Liverpool, Oct Cotton went soar
ing on the exchange today, 10 great
measure caused by reports from the
United States to the effect that great
part of the cotton crop had been de.
stroyed by the disastrous storm which
swept the cotton states recently. Buy
ing was feverish and the excitement
grew as the price rose higher and higher.
When the market closed cotton showed
an advance of Fl points.
New York, Oct. 2 AT noon the cot
ton market was very active. The deal
ings suggested that the big interests
were trying to check the advance, but
their offerings were absorbed by fresh
buying, much of which appeared to be
for the account of interests in the South.
The Liverpool bull clique was believed
to be selling.
The government report, showing the
average condition of the crop to be TIC,
was better than expected, and the list
after its publication fell IL to II points,
followed by rally of 7 points. The
rally was short lived, however, prices
again selling of. Dealings were heavy.
1t appeared as though the bulls had sold
OUT before the report was issued for the
purpose of supporting prices after its
publication.

JUDGE LYNCH.


To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
If the public conscience of the wht le
people, north, south, east and west, shal
prevail, we will have, now AMI Away,
Justice in America. But if ill-advised
and mandlin sentiment is to take the
place of rational thought, what are we
to expect?
The public conscience in certain Sec
lions of the land is outraged because a
mob of Georgians-Atlsnta white men
deliberately give an object lesson to the
criminal southern black.
The summary vengeance inflicted on
Sepoy rebels by the English government
gives precedent. There is no other way.
1t means power over the inferior race
or social chaos in the South. That is
the finish.
In 1857 the English government dis
played its rational and splendid power
by doing a thing that meant we'll for
government and assurance for the adj
vance of civilization in India.
The situation is thus described: "The
doomed FIVE were marched to the
fatal guns. They we're bound by their
arms to the wheels, but their legs were
free, and the end mantle only man |
could entirely see from my place in the

previous fancy that it vas intolerable;
then a dead stiffness. The last body
was that of a native officer, who was the
arch-fiend of the mutiny."

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 2. 1906.

THE POPULATION of the country is
growing more dense every year, and land
must naturally become more valuable.
Land gives character to owners in Euro
pean countries. Improved methods have
resulted in making 10 acres do what ten
times as many did hundred years ago.
1t is surprising what a few acres Will
nroduce when intensively cultivated. A
large proportion of the farms of France
average less than 10 acres each, and
msiority of the farms of Belgium are
under 9 acres each. Both countries are
densely populated, the people are busy
and making living, and there IS less
emigration than from any other OF The
European countries. Thousands upon
thousands of small farms can be made In
the South with little money and while they
last hope for our people and country "il'
not perish. The South is large and has
a wonderful variety of resources and the
home seeker can find something to his
liking regardless of what 1t may be,
either in an industrial way, or In any
nbase of farm life. There is such d.
yersity of climate, soil and products, and
some of them are 80 profitable that fac
tory workers in many of the southern
towns and cities have gone into the
country, to give their sole time 10 special
lines of farming, while others have made
homes near the factory and divide their
time between the home place and the
shop. As says the Southern Field; "Lei
the northern reader run over in his
mind aud call up the staples produced ID
his territory. Nothing he can name
but what it can be or is grown in the
South. while scores of things OF econo-
mic value are produced in the South
that can never be included in the north
ern list"

storm which was predicted TO strike
Mobile and vicinity last night did not

telling when a storm may break loose.
Nearly every family in Mobile had some
one to watch until daylight in order to
sound the alarm in case another DEATH

one hundred United States soldiers
were drowned and Fort McRae, near

hurricane which swept the sea in shore.
Officers, their wives and families were

Cuban Patriot left FAMILY to starveN

New York, Oct. g. Starving bat yet
willing to die for the sake OF the
"cause" Mrs Henry Yorea, and her two
little girls were found huddled in the hall
of a tenement house in Hudson street
late last night. For week they had
walked the streets living on scraps and
a ten cent piece that one of the little
girls found. When tenants in the house
came across the bundle of humanity in
the corner the children we're crying for
food. The mother had got past that
stage and she could not even answer
their cries in audible sounds. But her
wan features lighted up and spoke her
gratitude when she heard the exclams-
ton of pity from her neighbors. Mrs.
Yorea is a Cuban and when her husband
heard OF the revolution he took all his
savings to pay his fare to Cuba where he
joined the insurgents. The mother and
children soon became destitute and .
week ago were turned out OF their home.
Mrs. Yorea was made comfortable at the
police station, while tue children were
sent to the Childrens' Society.
