which has made so much fun on the
Washington Stock Exchange for the past
three months, was, from the beginning.
a serious declaration of hOStilities. and
has now assumed proportions which re-
move it completely from the category Of
opera bouffe.
Potent forces in the management Of
the Washington Gaslght Company have
entered the market, and have given GER
tain brokers carte blanche % buy all the
gas stock offered. It was said that this
order carried with it a purpose to break
the market, if that was possible, and, Il
not, to get the stock that might be Of
fered for sale at any price under 70. and
keep il away from the interests that have
been gathering it in during the last three
months.
1t was stated yesterday that large local
holders Of gas stock had become thor
oughly aroused about the attempt Of
certain parties TO acquire the shares OF
the company, and had determined to
head of the movement before it should
acquire further momentum.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE.
MikadO's People Are still Friendly
with United States.

Paris, May S.--M. Kurino, Japanese
minister. in an interview today is quo
tod a. making the statement that the
series of treaties between Great Brit
ain, France, Russia and Japan, guar
anteeing the territorial status quo in
the far east, implied an engagement to
prevent other countries from acquiring
territory there.
Minister Kurino denied that the
France-Japanese entente WAS in any
way aimed at the United States; he
said:
Japan, in spite of the San Francisco
Incident. has always been most sympe
thetic to the United States because
she was the first to treat the japanese
people on a footing of equality. If
Japan could obtain advantages from
an understanding with the United
States it Is probable that the govern
ment at Toxic would not hesitate to
negotiate with Washington
NJ. Kurino said that as Germany
had no possession in the far east Piao
Chu being simply leased Chinese
ground. a treaty with her similar to
the one between japan and France
would be useless.

Maryland to Texas have rounded up in
Monroe County to hold a general re-

that time it has steadily grown in
members and influence and now has a
membership of nearly 100000 and up-

The dead man is Major Berkin a ne
gro, who was fired on by unknown par

Equipped with bladelike shovels for sur

when the plants are very small, es-
pecially listed crops, should be with the
spike tooth harrow with the teeth set
to a considerable slant. Weeds are
most easily destroyed when they are
coming up. The harrow is very useful
for this purpose, and at the same time
it produces a soil mulch. A distinct
advantage in the use of the harrow is
the rapidity with which the ground
may be gone over. The spike tooth
harrow or the disk harrow should also
be used in summer culture intended to
conserve moisture for a future crop.
When the plants are too large to be
cultivated with the harrow, any of the
modern double cultivatOrs will do good
work in cultivating corn and similar
crops, but when equipped with gangs
OF three to five narrow shovels that
throw the soil but little they are still
more efficient for surface cultivation
unless the ground has become weedy
from inability to cultivate it because
OF wet weather. Bladelike shovels that
run nearly horizontal and cut off a
thin layer of soil are effective unless
there be too much trash. These blades
can be so adjusted that the soil will
pass over them, forming loose layer.
which on drying will protect the moist
soil below.
In cultivating the soil as thoroughly
and frequently as the best farming re-
Guires the labor will be excessive I'M
less tools be used that enable man to
cover a large area in a day. Plenty
OF team power should be available OF
a modern farm, and three or four good
horses to one driver are more econom-
zeal than two when the land is such
shat large tools can be successfully OPP
Grated. Farming with one horse to a
man is poor economy and will absolute
~ prevent the good farming necessary
to conserve the soil moisture.
The disk harrow and the spike tooth
harrow have already been suggested
for certain kinds of work. No better
tools need be desired for the work for
which they are designed. They are
made in sizes for two horses and for
four horses. In using the disk harrow
it should be Tapped halfway in order to
leave a level surface Disks fourteen
TO sixteen inches in diameter do better
work than those of greater diameter,
but the draft is heavier. Except in
special cases double cuItivators or two
row cultivators should be used.

After the cutting season the stalks
should be allowed to grow at will and

fore they have ripened as during
Eipening the food material developed
by the green foliage is stored in the

early cutting Of the tops would mean
q lessened crop Of stalks next spring,
remarks a grower in American Guilt

tops in the fall destroys the spores Of
rust which sometimes affect the shoots
during the summer and the seeds which
would fall and take root and become
weeds.

Alfalfa grows from two or three to
twelve or fifteen bushels of seed per
acre. The most abundant crops Of
seed are secured when grown on the
drier soils. Under such conditions al

grown on dry land is not only more
abundant but is considered more valu-
able than that grown under irrigation.
