GOOSEBERRY AND
CURRANT EASILY
PR0PACATED,
CO
BY O. ]. GREGG,
OF THE MICHIGAN AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE.

The currant and gooseberry, COM
monty known as grossels, are among
small fruits to be grown on every
farm or small fruit garden. Their
care is simple and for this reason
are not given as careful attention as
they really should have in order to
get good results. For farmers fruit
garden one dozen plants of each Is
generally sufficient, as they are but
little used fresh, their principle use
being for preserves and jelly.
They are rather easily propaeated.
The young shoots one foot in length.
If planted deep in nursery row in
late fall so that their tips are above
ground, a large proportion will take
root the following season and can be
permanently planted the second
spring. They should be planted 4x4
feet and better than 5x6 feet apart.
They should be kept GUILTY. dted
throughout the summer similarly to
raspberrieg. They thrive in a cool,
rather damp. soil, and a heavy soil
is much better than light soil.
Unlike the brambles the grossels
have small fruit snurs on old wood
which produce fruit, yecr after wear.
they also bear fruit on the previous

Storing Root Crops.
The most satisfactory and perma-
nent results in storing root crops are
to be secured from a cellar built in an
excavation adjacent to or as a part of
a basement barn, the object being to
get below ground for security against
frost and the maintenance of uniform
ity of temperature. A space parti-
toned off in the basement barn with
light walls makes as satisfactory an
arrangement as any, if this is not
done the warm, moist air from the
stables will prevent the roots from
keeping well. Root houses built in
excavations in banks some distance
from the stock barns are not so sat
isfactory because of the extra labor
involved in conveying the roots to
the stock, particularly in times OF
mud and snow
Pitting may also be resorted to, but
is not so satisfactory as a cellar.
Under such conditions the continuous
use of roots for feeding is interfered
with during the extremely cold spells,
as some days the pit would have to
remain closed to prevent the access
of frost. In constructing pit. a high.
well-drained piece of ground should
be chosen. The roots should be pilei

about four or five feet wide. with the
sides soping upward. to meet at a
point four feet above the center Of
the pile: the leneth Of the pit can b.
governed by the conditions. AS soon
Cs the roots are piled cover them with
/ layer of about three inches of
straw, free from chan; then cover the
straw with earth taken from near
the edges Of the pit in such way as
to form n ditch around the same Tor

more than an inch or two Of earth
should be placed on the straw, but

! double the amount of earth and pre-
vent freezing in future by coverings
of manure, used in such quantity as
the severity of the weather may re-

ering may be used as follows: First
cover with straw and then with a
thin layer of earth, which is allowed
to freeze: then follow with another
layer Of straw and more earth In

closed are not effected by fluctuations
in temperature from without. In ex.
treme weather manure covering
would be needed as in the first case.

Town Looks As If Hit by Tornado.
El Paso, Texas, May 9,-From thir-
ty to sixty dead, five on the American
side of the line, 70 to 100 wounded
on the battlefield and about fifteen
struck by bullets in El Paso; a town
shot to pieces and yet held by the
federals; both sides resting on their
arms tonight and awaiting the dawn
to begin again-these are the net re-
suits of the fight at Juarez today.
All day the battle RACED; the insur-
rectos swarming through the streets
of Juarez, meeting the heavy fire Of
the federals with an equally vigorous
volley of musketry; artillery lent its
deep note to the inferno of sound;
men on both sides fell and yielded
their lives; one commander grimly de
termined to stand by his guns until
he died and the other shouting in glee
when an insurrecto shell struck home
or a rebel sortie was apparently sue
cessful
But the result of the struggle is a
drawn battle. The federals hold six
points of vantage-the barracks, the
church, the theater, the school house
a hotel and the customhouse. The
rebels control the river front and de-
clare tomorrow they will take the
city.
Gen. Navarro at O'Clock tonight
agreed TO stop the firing while the in
surrecto wounded were being removed
The federals have adequate medical
facilities and are caring for their
wounded within the town.
The strength OF the federals' posi-
ton is largely due to the fact that the
rebels are scattered. II the rebels

El Paso, Texas, May AT mid
night it is apparent the crisis is near
in the Juarez battle, which has ragged
all day fercely, with heavy loss both
to the Mexican rebels and the federals.
Those who have followed the situa,
ton closely say the rebels have an
advantage, and it is freely predicted
they will make their most determined
efforts before daylight to take the
city from the Diaz troops.
Hundreds of Dead and Wounded.
1t has been difficult to secure par
ticulars from across the river, but
it is stated by those who have been
nearer the fighting than the crowds
or the American side of the Rio
Grande that there are hundreds of
dead and wounded soldiers in the
streets, trenches and buildings OF
Juarez, and that more are dying be

ably they could storm the federal
strongholds.
But the insurrectos suspect, and
not without some degree of certainty,
that n detachment OF nearly 800 fed
erals with n machine gun is concealed
somewhere in town and they are hes

for fear of a rear or flank attack.
lnsurrectos Meet Deadly Fire.
The rebels have forced the fighting
today in the face of the deadly fire
OF the federal machine guns. They
dared not gather in too great number
for an attack on the federals because
the artillerymen of Gen. Navarro
many times demonstrated the accu-
racy of their range when they shelled
adobe houses, behind which insurrec-
tos had sought protection half mile
from Juarez. while skulking along the
river front.
Gen. Navarro is said to have mined
most of the houses in Juarez, and
wheG he gets word of an insurrecto
gathering it is believed he will be able
to inflict a terrible slaughter
Like Hurricane Had Hit
The town OF Juarez looks as If a
hurricane had struck it. Wires are
suspended from jagged telegraph poles
and the streets are filled with debris.
Signs and awnings are punctured with
holes. Many a brick building has a
hole in it and not few adobe houses
are without roofs.
The terror-stricken residents were
under cover all day and many were
injured by the hail of bullets Bullets
continued to sing across the Rio
Grande to the American side today
but the casualties were fewer than
yesterday, owing to the efforts of the
United States troops, who have kept
sighteers several hundred yards from
the river front.
