Fez, Morocco. May 6-The arrival
of Capt. Bremond's column has not
changed the situation and the loose
investment of the capital continues.
The rebel horsemen, who are beyond
reach Of the artillery, have cut of
the food supplies. The sultan's
troops are worn out with constant
skirmishing and watchfulness.
The rebel chiefs have sexeral grow
ing moral advantages since all Nor
occo knows that the sultan Is penned
up in the capital and that his loyal
troops are unable to move outside the
range of their artillery. The rebels
are obtaining the upper hand through
out the country. Tribes heretofore
loyal are Joining the rebellion through
fear that the villages Of those refus-
ing will be raided.

NO ANSWER FROM
PRESIDENT D|Az
Has Not Decided to Step Down
and Out of the Mexican
Presidency

81 Paso, May 6.---Judge Carbajal, the
federal envoy at 1890 o'clock this
morning declared that he had not re-
ceived the full answer as yet to the
proposition submitted by Francisco L.
Madero through his peace commission
ers on Thursday. He ascribed the de-
lay to the Interruptions in the tele-
graphic facilities, informing Madero to
that effect and suggesting that the ar
mistice which expires at noon today
be extended. Gen. aladero said he
would agree to the extension.
At the Madero camp the opinion pre-
wallis that Judge Carbajal had received
a part Of the governments answer. but
not all of It. They were confident that
an announcement of the intention Of
President Diaz would be made before
the day was over and were joyfully an
ticipating 1t.

HISTORY AND SYMPTOMS OF
SHEEP SCAB.
BY Edwin S. Good.

Historically, sheep scat is one Of the
oldest diseases of sheep, but its aus
was not discovered Until about the
middle Of the nineteenth century
(1S35), when the agent producing the
disease was found to be a very small
mite. This mite is light gray in color,
and the female is One-fortieth and the
male one-Sixtieth of an inch in length.
In general appearance the mite re-
sembles a tiny spider. 1t has four
pairs Of legs, the last. being very
small, and the third pair having long
~thread-like a~ppendages which are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite craWls, very slowly, showing
nat it's power of lOcomOtiOn is weak.
A female Will lay from 10 to 20 eggs
during her lifetime. These egg are
so small thai they cannot be dlstin-
guiShed with the naked eye. The pc
Rod OF incubation is from 4 to 10
days, depending mainly upon tempera-
ture. Gerlach. a noted authority, esti-
mates the descendants Of a single fe-
male to be 900, 900 female and 500.-
900 males at the end of 80 days. He
estimates the average umbe Of egg
from a single female to be Is, 10 Of
which hatch females and 5 males, and

To make a cleft graft select a
branch l or l IL inches in diameter
and eve il with a saw. Care should
De taken that the lark be not loosen
ed from any portion Of the stub. Split
the exposed end with a broad hin
chlsel or grating tool. Then with a
wedge or the wedge-Shaped prong at
the END of the grating tool spread
the cleft So that the scion may be in
serted.
The scion should consist OF a por-
uon of the previous seasons growth
OF toe tree to be p~ropagated and
mould be long enough TO have two
or three buds. The lower end of the
scion, which is to be inserted into
the cleft, should be cut into the shape
OF a wedge, having the outer wedge
thlcker than the ther. In general
IL IS a good plan to cut the scion so
That the lowest bud will come just at
the top of this wedge in order that il
Will be near the top of the stock.
Inc advantage Of cutting the wedge
thicker on one side is illustrated
showing o the pressure of the stock
Is brought upon the outer CROWNS
parts Of both scion and stock. where
as We're the scion thicker on the in
ner side the conditions would be re-
versed, and the death of the scion
would follow.

there Will be m3nV occasions when

allows Il days for each generation.
The first symptom that attracts
ones attention to the affected animal
is it's rubbing certain parts of its back,
sides or tail against some object, or
biting at these parts, a. the bites of
the mite causes intense itching. h
irritation is much more noticeable
when the sheep are warmed up by
driving han when they remain quiet.
Infection generally begins on some
portion of the side or back, and is
usually confined to these parts of the
body.
The infected spot first consists Of
a moist, yellowish, dandruff-like sub
stance, often no larger than a pin
head, and unless careful examination
be made, may easily escape detection.
If this place is scratched, the sheep
will respond by a n~ibbling-like mo-
ton Of the mouth. Large patches are
formed either by small infected spots
located on different parts Of the back
growing and uniting. or by the grad
ual enlargement Of a single spot. In
obtaining their food, the parasites in
these patches irritate the skin of the
sheep to such an extent as to cause
the secretion of a large amount OF
serum, which, in drying. first k

extended irritation the dandruff is re-
placed by thick scabS. Where the

a very appearance ana
eventually. if untreated, dies. Proper
treatment will, however. destroy the
scab mite and renew the growth OF
the wool.
Dipping in a reliable dip is the
proper treatment for sheep afflicted
with the scab.
The Federal Government has done
a great work in reducing the numbeT
of scabby sheep in this country. but in
spite Of its efforts there are plenty OF
them in the United States today, a
condition OF affairs not to be wondered
at when we consider the gigantic task
of stamping out such a communicable
disease in as large a country as ours.
There are States. however. where no
scab exists, the farmers and the State
authorities having aided the Federal
Government to eradicate it.

CUT WORMS IN THE GARDEN.

By ~'cutworms" is meant the larvae
Of certain millers or moths. The term
is applied to a number OF species
which are very destructive to garden
and field crops and sometimes also to
foliage Of fruit trees. Though there are
some differences in the life histories Of
TIL several species, they are sufficient
ly alike in some Of their habits so they
may be fought by similar methods.
The larvae is a fat. dirty gray or
~brOWnish creature, an inch or more in
length when full grown and practical
ly hairless. The W marked cutWOrm
and the spotted are each
marked by a double row Of black spots.
which in the first mentioned species
are of equal size. but in the second the
spots gradually decrease In size toward
the head.
The caterpillars usually lie curled up
during the day, in a sheltered spot or
in the earth. After nightfall they
come to the surface to feed upon what

can not be too strongly emphasized,
for upon this alone the success Of
grating depends. To make this con-
tact Of the growing portions dOubly
certain, the scion hs often set at a
slight angle with the stock into which
it is inserted. in order to cause the
growing portions Of the two to cross.
After the scions have been set, the
operation Of cleft grating is COM
pleted by covering all cut surfaces
with a layer Of grating wax.
Cleft grating is particularly adapt
ed to top-working old trees. that is.
changing them from undesirable to
desirable varieties. Branches too
large to be worked by other methods
can be cleft grated. Sometimes sew
eral varieties are grated on a single
tree. The best time for cleft grating
is in the spring just after growth has
begun. Wood for sciOns is usually
cut in the fall, tied in bundles, and
buried in sand to protect them from
extremes of heat and cold until they
are to be used.
