THE DISTURBANCE IN MEXICO.

A representative of Mining Science writes from Fl Paso that he accom- panied mining man, in an automobile ride through Juarez and the surround ing country. He says
 "So far as the revolution is concerned, there is and has been no fighting worthy of the name The insurrectos are carry ing on guerrilla warfare, which IS doing more to demoralize the mining industry than a real, fullgrown revolution would do. They have shown no disposition to interfere with the actual operation of the mines, but have torn up the rail- road tracks, destroyed bridges, etc., es- pecially on those roads running to the mining camps, to such an extent that 1t is impossible to either get the ore out or supplies in. As a consequence. many of the mines are filling with water be- cause of lack of coal to keep the pumps going. The advertising given the revo- lution by persons in the United States has had the effect of keeping capital away from this section"
 Of the two the latter is the more correct. The present condition of affairs in Mexico is very damaging tO business all over the republic. 1t has checked not only flow of money into the country for invest. ment and over great regions made It impossible to get about for the transaction of business to any advantage, but it has made 1t im- possible to get men to work in parts of the country where there IS no sedition nor insurrectos in the field. That situation the writer found away down in Sinaloa a month ago. The laborers who are needed to work the mines and ranches are in hiding fearing im- pressment. Now is the season when crops for the present year ought to oe put in, yet fields that embrace many thousand acres are lying fal- low for want of plowmen and cul- tivatOrs, and mines are idle for need of miners, Of course all that means paralysis to business of all kinds.
 There Is another feature that is not at all reassuring: which is that aIl' accounts agree that the in- *OrrectoS are increasing in numbers,

Can BE Grown on Any Land That viii
Produce Wheat,
w. E. D., Sweet Grass county,
writes: "Spelt is adapted to what
type of land? To what use can this
crop be put? When and how should it
be seeded?"
Reply: Spelt is adapted to any land
that will produce wheat. This crop Is
used almost entirely for feeding pur.
poses. 1t makes very valuable feed
for hogs and some people desire 1t for
feeding sheep and cattle. The grain
is quite hard and for that reason 1t
may pay the farmer to grind it before
feeding. The method of growing this
crop is about the same as that fol.
lowed in raising common wheat,
Usually the grain is seeded in the
spring upon we'll prepared land. The
amount of seed to SOW varies with the
different conditions, but from sixty to
ninety pounds per acre will usually
bring vssy good results.

THE BEST BREED OF HORSES
Always Select the Kind You Are Most
Interested In.

During the past two months the
writer has received a large number
of inquiries regarding which breed of
horses should be used. Not only was
the question asked regarding horses,
but 1t was asked regarding nearly all
the classes of live stock. In reply to
this inquiry we wish to state that
there is no best breed of horses. We
do not wish to be understood from
this, however, as saying that all of the
breeds are equal in their different
merits, for they are not.
Whether a person should use a
Clydesdale, Shire, or a Percheron,
will depend almost entirely upon the
person. If the individual is especially

with them the idea that seed potatoes

tato treatment, The fungus that
causes tine larger amount of our pota.
to scab is different from the one that
produces scabby potatoes in the East.
In the West we find that the scab
fungus lives over In the soil and that
practically all Of our soils are more or
less inoculated with the fungus, so
methods Of culture and irrigation have
much more influence upon the amount
Of scab in the crop than has the seed
treatment
If one is planting potatoes upon new
ground 1t may be advisable to treat
the seed, but hardly know whether
the benefits derived from the treat
ment would be enough to pay for the
trouble in treating the seed. Most
methods of seed treatment retard the
sprouting Of the potatoes, and In many
cases 1t reduces the stand somewhat.
If the seed you expect to plant Is
found covered with small black spots,
would recommend treating it. BY
taking few of the potatoes and wash
ing them, these small spots will
show up much more plainly. They
are small black spots that will not be
washed off in running water, but may
be scraped off with the finger nail
These spots are the spores of the com.
mon Western scab fungus and may be
killed by soaking the potatoes for an
hour or an hour and half in solu.
ton of corrosive sublimate, using one
ounce of the chemical to eight or nine
gallons of water. The potatoes may
besoaked by simply dipping the sacks
containing the whole potatoes in a
barrel of this solution. Rolling the
cut seed in sulphur also proves very
good method of seed treatment.

fond of the Clydesdale horse, that
is the breed that he should use.
If the Shire or Percheron has points
that he emphasizes very strongly,
then the Sllre or Percheron horse
should be selected. This is about the
only advice that can be given in the
selection of any of the different breeds
of horses, Always select the breed
that you are most interested in. If
you are not interested in the stock
that you have upon your farm, you

POLITICAL NOTES
Continued From Page A.

There is no more important plank
in the Democratic platform than
Section Six, which commits the par
ty to the passage of an act that will
punish all corrupt practices in elec-
tions, and guarantees to every man
that his vote shall be honestly count.
ed as cast. Section Six is as follows:
"We favor the enactment of an
explicit and effective corrupt prac-
tice act, which shall determine what
campaign expenses shall be regiti-
mate. and which provide for the
compulsory publication in detail,
under heavy penalties. of the cam
paign expenses of every candidate
for public office"
This Section supplements Section
Five. which provides for a direct
primary election law. providing that
all primary elections be held at pub.
lie expense. so that every candidate.
no matter what his wealth or sta.
ton may be. shall have a chnnce
to submit his claims to the voters of
his party. Kentucky has suffered in
the past from dishonest elections.
and the people are demanding that
these corrupt practices be stopped.
The opportunity to institute this re-
form will come to the Democratic
party after this election. because it
will control both Houses of the Leg
islature.
Governor McCreary is heartily in
favor of the passage of this law.
His influence put It in the platform,
and he will recommend it to the
Legislature, and use all the power in
his hands to give it a permanent
place upon the Statute Book.
When the people know how much
a man spends for his nomination and
his election, and from what sources
his campaign fund comes. they will
be able to Judge whether he is his
own master. or whether he must
shape his official acts to suit those
who have bought his Office for him.
The time is past when platform
pledges are lightly regarded. In
this campaign no candidate for Of
flee can fail to do his duty without
sacrificing his honor.

town. A large body of natives
marched with the troops and pre-
scented an admirable array. The

an intimation that such an attempt
probably would be made and his
men were amply prepared.

handy with the pistol and absolutely
fearless, he never hesitated to tackle
the worst criminals in their own lair.
He had a particular contempt for
pickpockets. when they got caught.
and chaffed them numerically.
Sometimes he would demonstrate to
them that he could have done better
and got away with the job.
Armand was very fond of giving
dinners at bis home. During one of
them he picked the pocket Of every.
one present without being detected.
He was a big eater. and when he
expected to be engaged by business
over the lunch hour, he used to eat
twelve hard-boiled eggs after break
fast, to guard against faintness. "
