Now, how and when to plant 1t:

How to Prepare Land.
Now, break those nut grass lands
good with a two-horse pillow, and then

Cosena. Hurricanes, accompani-
ed by slight earthquake shocks and
underground rumblings, have terri
fed the peasants in this region for
the past two days. This is especially
the case in the isolated villages,
where the people have not recovered
from the fright caused by the earth
quake which occurred at the end
of June.

Messina.-A violent tempest in the
vicinity of the Straits of Messina, ac-
companied by heavy rainfall, has
caused enormous damage in this re-

and floods have compelled the popu

have been living since the great
earthquake a few years ago.
