CALENDAR OF FARM WORK FOR APRIL
Prenarc the Hor Bed.

i|ttlflft tfit
Make a hotbed and start your cab
bage and tomato plants. Use fresh
horse manure a load to a 3x6 foot
sash. Fork the manure over before
placing ii in the pit, so as TO get ii
aerated and thoroughly heating. Then
tramp il down thoroughly: it should
have sufficient litter so that IL will not
pack soggy. When through there
should be a depth of from twenty-four
TO thirty inches >of manure Cover this
with six inches OF garden loan. Allow
the hotbed to remain idle for time
sufficient for il to reach a settled and
proper temperature; they are fire.
quently too hot at first. One can SOW
radish seed or lettuce over most of the
area of the beds leaving the tomato
and cabbage seedlings at one end un-
til they are large enough to trans
plant. Radishes and lettuce can be
removed to make room for the plants
as rapidly as necessary. Frequent
transplanting of tomato plants, and
the maintaining of a slow but steady
growth by not allowing too much heat,
makes the stocky plants that are SO
much desired.
Those who are selling butter find
that prices are usually. higher in the
winter; the wise dairyman will seek
to mate his heifers now if not already
bred, so as to have the cows fresh in
next December Do not make the mis-
take of crossing one breed on another.
1t has taken centuries 10 get the
breeds in their present characteristics,
and we haven't centuries at our dis
posal to establish some new breed.
When feeding cornstalks, keep the
smutty corn away from the manure.
The best plan is TO go through the
field before harvesting and remove
all smutty portions of the corn. The
fungus lives from one season To the
next in the manure pile, and gains an
entrance To the plants in the field only
from the changed form that it has
meanwhile assumed. 1t is not only
impossible to produce the disease in
healthy plants by contact with smutty
plant tissue, but il is also impossible
to .prevent corn smut by treating the
seed with formalin as we do oats to
prevent oat smut. The only treat
ment for corn smut, is preventive, and
consists in burning the smutty mater
ial and not allowing il to get into the
manure pile.
Before building any new fence this
year, make a diagram Of the farm
showing the relative size of the vari-
Gus fields Fields twice as long as
wide are easier to pillow and cultivate
because less time is then required to
be used in turning around at the end
of the row. A four course rotation of
corn, potatoes. oats clover, pasture
might we'll be handled with four fields
of equal size and shape. If you have
your diagram made, place on it the
names of the crops grown on each
field for the last two years; study the
situation for 1914 and 1915 with
view of getting a rotation and yet not
having an excess or shortage of any
of the various crops grown. 1t may be
that if you are spelling previous sys-
TENS of rotation by alfalfa, which will
require three years in one field that
you will have to do some hard think
ing in order to plan out the crops for
the various fields for the next two
years for the best results

GOV. C0LQUITT OFFERS
 REWARD FOR MURbERERs
WILL PAY SUk OF 3f.See FOR BE- LIVERY OF VERGARA'S SHAY
 FRS OVER TO TEXAS SOIL.
War Department Is Alarmed Over Action, Fearing ft WHl Provoke
 Serious Complications.

Washington, March Ex-Governor Colquitt's offer of a reward of $1,00( for the delivery upon Texas soil O. five Mexicans suspected as murder CTS of Clemente Vergara, has caused the War Department and state off cials serious concern for information al complications.
 The five Mexicans sought are Capt Apolonio Rodriguez, Nito Ceara, Juar Castillon, Andreas Rodriguez ant Dinomisio Martinez. In his report to- day Brig. Gen. Bliss says:
 "The men named are charged in the newspapers with complicity in the death of CIemente Vergara."
 The right of the governor to offer reward for the apprehension of g fugitive from justice is not denied by the officials. But in this case i. is feared that the offer may lead te ai attempt to kdnap the Mexicans and bring them to Texas, which would be in violation of the extradition treaty between Mexico and the United State, and afford the Mexican government ground for demand for the punish 'ment Of the kidnapers, with all lega entanglements.
 Further reports on the inciden near Del Rio, Texas, where Mexican federal soldiers fired across the Ris Grande at American troopers sa. more than 800 shots were directed a the soldiers to whom the fleeing Con stitutionalists surrendered. The re fugees were sent to Fort Bliss.

MUST HAVE HAD BUSY LIFE
soer Woman Surely Holds the Worlds
Record for Her Many and Varied
Marriage Ventures.

The worlds record In matrimonial
ventures is probably held by Mrs.
Thelia M. de Beer, widow, seventy
eight years of age. residing at Pre-
toria. Transvaal At the age of eight
cen she married Petrus. Jacobus
Lubbe. who died, leaving her with one
child. Ten months later she took an
other husband, widower with three
children. A year and five months
afterwards he also died, leaving her
with four children. Within fivo months
she married for the third time, an
other widower, this time with seven
children. With him she lived for
eleven years, and had seven children.
when he also died. After five years
wtdowhood she married for the fourth
time, on this occasion a widower with
eight children. With him she had four
children. and after eleven years, he,
too. died. Five years later she mar
ried man named Hendrix Klopper.
Another eleven years elapsed, and then
her fifth husband died, leaving her
with ten children. In two years time
she contracted another marriage with
Hendrix Van Wyk, a widower, who
brought FIVE children to swell the fam
lily. Another eleven years passed, and
he, too. went the way of his five pre-
decessors, his death occurring only re.

Steel lie Easily Best.

The potentialities of the steel tie
appear to have been demonstrated
convincingly by the experience Of the
5essemer and Lake Erie railroad in
using them during period covering
eight years. The Carnegie steel tie
is simple symmetrical I-beam sec.
ton and weighs 1sO pounds for the
standard length of eight feet six
inches. About 100000 OF these ties
are now In use, and because Of the
density OF the traffic OF the road
where the steel ties are used the
service OF the ties In question is
regarded by railway men generally
as very instructive.
