Ell PASO, TEXAS, May 24-Dis-
patches reaching here today from Rel
lano. scene of the calhoun battle be-
tween the forces of the Mexican fed
erals and the rebels under General
Orozco. confirm the reports that Oroz-
cos forces were defeated while both
sides suffered heavy loss in dead aud
wounded The governments force,
something moro than 1000 men, was
commanded by General Huerta Oroz-
cos lighting force was more than 5000.
Orozco himself directed the lighting.
Time after time his headquarters We're
under the long range fire of the federal
artillery His lieutenants pleaded with
him to retire to safer quarters. but ne
was undisturbed.
Rebels Guns Too Small,
The rebel defeat was due largely 70
their lack of artillery. dispatches today
say They were obliged continuously
TO fall back under the fire Of the federal
artillery. while the federals advanced
and fought under the protection OF the
fire from the heavy guns. The falling
shells from the cannon kicked up stiff
ling clouds Of alkali dust that made Il
impossible for the rebels to direct their
fre accurately. Soldiers in both armies
were tortured by the intense heat.
The rebels today are falling back to-
ward Juarez They are pursued By a
band of federal cavalry.

about that time a friend came to
live with us, and / noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. / asked
him the reason. He replied, I have

drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when began again, here at
your table. / don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink

a package of Postum. That was five

when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, SO we returned to Postum, con-
WINGED that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia

The tip kernels are likely to be fiinty
and of pop corn shape, which is un-
desirable in dent corn. If bare tips
are noticeable TO quite an extent
throughout the field, il may re due TO
the fact that the silks Representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
were too late to receive the pollen TO
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their UNI
desirable characters viii soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part of tho ear undesirable for
planting, on account of lack OF uni
formity.
In Judging the character of the butt
Of an ear of corn, the way in which
the rows come over towards the shank
is important. If the corn comes In
too close. the ears may drop off the
stalk during the ripening and not full
ly mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filed should be rejected.
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too small an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
be mixed with other varieties and
owing to their peculiar formation. they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker in
termination and are more .tardy in
