FURIOUS FIGHT RAGING
TO NORTH or UERMOSH.LO

Nogales. Sonora March 2S--It is
believed here that what viii prove TO
be the big battle between the federals
and insurrectos in the Tres district,
north Of Hermosillo, is in progress TO-
night.
Various Views are entertained as TO
the result of the reported battle Of
yesterday Government officials re-
port that the insurrectos were de-
feated with heavy losses. Refugees
arriving today from the Ures district
report that when they left many
federals and insurrectos were IN the
vicinity but they believed that CabraL
the insurrecto leader, having knowl-
edge Of the federal's advance with a
superior force, made his escape. The
report Of General Torres received by
Presidente Sandoval is to the effect
that Colonel Ojedas engaged the
rebels yesterday at the san Rafael
ranch. near Ures, killing 100 rebels
and wounding many more. The same
report gives fifteen federals dead and
twenty wounded The insurrectos
then retreated and entrenched them
selves in the houses on the ranch
! According TO this official report, the
entrenched rebels are surrounded by
large force of federals and cannot

NO CONFIRMATION OF
EXECUTION OF BERTIIOI.D

San Diego, Cal, March 2s.---Careful
inquiry at Ensenada and at Tecate
fails to corroborate the report that
simon Berthold and six of his men
were executed at Ensenada following
a fight at Alamo on March 22
Captain Justine Vendetta. in COM
mand of the Mexican federal forces
at Tecate told an Associated Press
representative yesterday that Bert
hold, with a force OF men, was
south of him at Tecate, and that he
believed the rebels We're In Guada-
loupe valley. Mendietta confirms the
report OF a small fight at Alamo on
the 22nd, but the best information is
that two men were killed and these
were rebels.
The statement that Berthold or any
other person or persons have been ex-
ecuted in Ensenada, or that they are
prisoners there or at Alamo is denied
at Ensenada.
Private advices received from En-
senada by wire today are to the ef-
feet that there is no truth in the re-
port.
Regarding the report that twenty
men were lost from the Levya COM
mand before Tecate, II can be stated
that there was no general engage
ment at Tecate at any time; that at
no time was there any pitched battle,
and that only in the fight at Tecate
on the fifteenth were any men killed.
on that date eight were taken by sur
prise and killed by the Mexican
federals.
1t is known that nearly twenty men
deserted the forces after this fight
and that they have been crossing the
line singly and In groups since

named Loyzler, marched TO the east

The rebels few days ago ceased

to guard these entrances. One o.
these scouts is said to have taken
bottle of mescal and when he saw th'
federal army, he thought the troops

Colonel Ojeda. who had collected

information that the rebels were a

SOCIAL LIFE ON THE FARM
Movement of Farmers to City Can Be
Materially Lessened by Making
Home More Beautiful.
(By c. r. BARNES.)


A beautiful home is a magnet which
needs only the additional centripetal
force Of richer social life to bind to
the farm the young life which now
flows in a steady current to the cities.
To the multiplication of such homes
and the development of such richer
social life, then, the efforts of all gov
ernmental and educational agencies
may well be directed. An additional
incentive to such efforts is found in
the fact that In rural society alone is
real American democracy now to be
found Our cities have become ex-
amples of social stratifcation-a
plutocracy on top, the laborer on the
bottom; between them, strata distin-
guished by the possession of a larger
or smaller incomes. Among the farm
Ts remains the old-fashioned equality
born of individual independence
There is not the wide difference in
pecuniary circumstances that is seen
in the city; and the superior wealth
of the large land owner is often more
than matched, so far as social influ-
ence is concerned, by the superior edu-
cation or intelligence of his poorer
neighbor All meet in the Farmers
club, as in church or school, on a
plane of perfect equality. This is a
condition to be especially appreciated
by women, who are invariably more
sensitive to social distinctions than
men.
The movement of farmers-now
"well-to-do" in the country accepta-
ton of the term-to the cities would
be materially lessened if they and
their wives fully realized the extent
and hatefulness of the social stratifica-
ton there to be met The average In
come of such farmer is not greater
than that of the well-paid city wage
Garner, be the latter mechanic or
clerk Coming to the city, then, he
and his wife are ct once "stratifed"
along with the city's hired men" and
their families From the homes of the
alleged upper classes" they are smil-

had they chosen to cultivate more
freely the social instinct in their coun-
try homes, they would have found en-
joyments which they seek in vain in
the city.
The gospel of the large, full life as
better than the long, full purse; of
broadened intellectual vision as better
than acres broadened beyond need; of
social contacts and culture as among
the primary necessities of human ma
ture: and of woman's mission as
primarily one Of ministry to these
needs, quite as much as to the physi-
cal wants of her family-this gospel
IL is, the preaching of which is to up
lift the country life of America, make
the farm attractive TO those whom 1t
now repels. and preserve in our ma
ton the ideals Of American democracy.

II Paid TO FertiIize PronerIv.

In a certain country in the middle
west rather intensive methods of rails
ing potatoes are followed in a three
year rotation-one year of grain, one
year of grass and one year of potatoes.
AS much of the land as possible is
MANFRED at the rate of twelve loads
per acre, and frequently commercial
fertilizers are used at the rate or 500
pounds to the acre. Under these con-
ditions yield of 1862 bushels per acre
has been known on a field of 237 acres.
The cost per acre, including seed,
spraying, insecticides. planting, har
vesting, etc, was but s3772.
On an adjoining farm of 233 acres,
where the land was unfertilized, the
cost of planting was $26.36 per acre.
The yield was 127 bushels. The moral
is evident.

CARRIER TO HANDLE MANURE
Convenience In Many Ways-Not
Hard to Construct.
(Bv Anton Wagner.l

tBy Anton Wagner.)
Farmers will find a manure and lit
ter carrier a great convenience. II
consists of a small wire rope elevat-
ed to any distance desired. and of
any length. the outer end being pIac-
ed over pole and then firmly staked
to the ground
The supporting pole ought to be
braced on three sides to prevent ii
from swaying. The box may be as
large as desired, but the average
size will hold about six bushels.
The end of the track in the barn
should be about foot higher than at
the outside end, SO that when the car
is loaded it may be pushed out and
run down the incline by it's own
weight
A manure spreader may be station
ed under the wire rope, and If the
box is fastened to the carrier by bolts
through its sides it can be dumped
In jiffy, and vigorous push will
send It back to the barn.
This carrier may be utilized in
