THE SURRENDER OF
GEN. NAVARRO
Viljoen and Garibaldi Make
Statements on the
Affair.

Gen. Navarro surrendered to me,
but the credit of the surrender is due
to Col. Garibaldi, who was in COM
mand." said Gen. viljoen to a Herald
reporter in Juarez yesterday shortly
after the surrender. II merely hap
pened to be there as military counsel
for Mr.. Madero. 1t was only chance
that 1 was there, and happened to be
the first when Gen. Navarro was
found To Col. Garibaldis excellent
attack goes all the honor Of the day"
Today Viljoen and Garibaldi both
made statements in the matter.
Said Garibaldi himself: "At half past
two Gen. Navarro sent a note to Es-
qufvel Obregon. This note fell into my
hands The note stated that Gen. Ma
varro would like to hold conference
to discuss peace terms. 1 sent back a
note to Gen. Navarro telling him that
he must surrender at once. at the same
time assuring him that 1 would treat
himself. his officers and his soldiers
with proper consideration. 1 stopped the
fire for 10 minutes. / resumed the fire
after the 10 minutes had expired. In the
meantime he sent an emissary stating
that he would like to treat with some
representative of Gen. Madero for an
other armistice Then my staff, consist
ing of Capt Fontan, Buontempo and
Brunicaldi, and myself made the assault
on the door, where the officers and sol
diers were barricaded. Navarro came
to the door and gave me his sword. At
the same time the commander of the
artillery surrendered his to Capt G.
Fontan."
B. J. Viljoen said: with reference
to the surrender of Gen. Navarro today
it Is enormously stated that Gen. Ma

FEDERAL HOSPITAL
Is PLACE OF PATHOS

The condition of affairs in the fed
erai hospital, a block above the old
church, was something terrible. Doc
tors were operating in the same room
where wounded men were lying about
on the floor with not even a piece of
quilt for bedding. The building was
nothing more than an adobe house and
the stencil was -sickening. Flies
swarmed over the faces of the men,
who were too weak to drive them off.
and there were no attendants or nurses
in any part Of the building, except the
doctors, who were husily engaged in
amputating limbs and dressing wounds.

TEACHING DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

Domestic science is that part of a
girls education which specially pre-
pares her for home maker and rem
ders her constant dispenser Of good
cheer. The object of the science is
to promote universal good health and
Danish drudgery from the house. to
which the girls must be led to con-
stantly apply the facts given in eauca-
tional lines to special home needs,
whereby home duties can be raised
from irksome tasks to pleasant oc-
equations and interesting experiments.
Domestic science shows the evil eff
fects which result from improper hab-
its Of life In the matter Of food and
drink. and shows the ideal home con-
ditions. 1t shows the processes Of
breadmaking, the spelling Of food. the
possible prevention of disease, etc.
I. Is q most excellent thing that this
important branch OF study is now in
nluded in most of the agricultural
universities. 1t gives the farmers
daughters an equal chance with the
Farm lads to become proficient in the
particular work which falls to their
lot.

SOMETHING ABOUT OATS.

The market grades Of oats depend
on the color of the grain and its free
dom from mixture and from dirt
The legal weight Of bushel Of oats
In most Of the States is 80 pounds.
About pounds Of straw are usual
ly produced to 1 pound of grain. The
proportion of straw may be materially
reduced, however. in some varieties
and in some seasons, or it may be ma
terially increased. The hull usually
comprises 80 to So per cent of the
grain. though the range Is from little
more than 20 per cent to about As per
cent.
Analyses show that oats are higher
in protein than corn and about equal
to wheat and barley. They are higher
in ash than any of the other grains.
and considerably higher in fat than
either barley or wheat. On account
OF the bulls. oats contain the highes,
percentage of crude fiber, an undesir-
able element. Dat straw contains
more protein and more fat than corn
stover or the straw of any other small
grain.

CELERY FOR EARLY MARKET.

For the early celery crop In the
northern states the seed should be
sown in February or March in shallow
boxes and kept in the hotbed or kitch-
en- window. Seeds are scattered broad
cast and little sand sifted over them.
One ounce Of sand will produce from
5000 to 5000 plants. The seed germ
mates slowly, requiring from IL to II
days During this time the soil should
be kept moderately moist. AS soon as
the plants are large enough they
should be set out into other boxes or
the hotbed, putting them an inch
apart in rows three inches apart. In
setting out pinch of a portion Of the
top and cut back the roots to induce
stocky growth. The plants should be
set out as soon as the weather per-
mits. which should be some time in
May. Set the plants in rows four feet
apart and six to eight inches distant
in the rows. The same care in set
ting will be required as for cabbage
plants.
The stalks may be blarched by set
ting up boards along the side of the
rows to exclude the light. Celery re-
quires very rich soil and an abundance
of water. Well-rotted manure should
be placed in the trench before trans
planting.

PLANNING THE FARM HOE.

Something Of beauty, as we'll az of
order, convenience and good sanitary,
conditions, is needed to make a farm
home attractive. In planning such a
home, let not this be- forgotten, A
wide sweep of lawn between the house
and the road; a background of trees
and shrubtery; low Towering bushes
planted close to the foundation and
serving, as it were. to bind the house
to the soil: vines over the porch or
bordering the window-frames - all
these'do much to beautify the house

however modest, the home-maker
should plan for the future as we'll as
for today. He should avoid building
too near the road; remem boring that
prosperity may ere long enable him
to build a larger home, which may
often be most. satisfactorily placed in
front of the old one. Barns and other
buildings should be located in such
relation to one another as to allow
for improvements which will result
in harmonious whole.
