FARM NOTES.
—While inventors and scientists have
done much for agriculture, yet the farm it-
self has been a source from which has come
much that is wonderful. Looking over
the work done during the present century,
it may safely be asserted that the animals
on the farm have been entirely changed in
appearance and characteristics. It seems
as though man can control even the living
creatures and adopt them to his purposes.
The horses have been divided and classified
to that extent as to render them dissimilar
in many respects. The thoroughbred (run-
ner), quick draught (hackney and trotter),
heavy draught (Percheron and Clydesdale)
and the pony are adapted to special pur-
poses. Placed side by side the most inex-
perienced can at once notice the diversity
of forms. On the race course the Clydes-
dale could make no competition with the
thoroughbred, and for heavy hauling on
roads the trotter cannot compare with the
Percheron. Yet nearly all of these breeds
trace in their pedigrees back to the Ara-
bian, but careful selection has carried them
into different channels, altering their forms
and endowing them with certain desirable
traits.
BREEDS PRODUCED.
Among cattle are found the Holstein,
Guernsey and Jersey, which have been
bred as producers of butter, the former also
standing high as milkers, along with the
Ayrshires, with the Shorthorns, Angus,
Galloways and Herefords as beef breeds.
Even the horns have been bred away from
the Angus and Gallaway. The Merino
sheep is made to produce fine wool, the
Dorset to excel in prolificacy, and the Cots-
wold, Lincoln and Leicester yield large
fleeces of combing wool, the mutton breeds
being set off as ‘‘downs,’”’ including the
Southdown, Hampshire, Oxford and
Shropshire. The Berkshire, among swine,
with its white spot on the forehead and
four white feet,(badges of purity, excels
for its hams, with its black and spotted
rivals—Essex and Poland-China—possess-
ing merits for their side meats, the white
breeds—Chesters, Cheshires, Suffolks and
Yorkshires—also being favorites in the sec-
tions where they are best adapted. The
farmer has also produced mammonth geese
and turkeys and olassified poultry into
ornamental, sitters, non-sitters, prolific
layers and table fowls. There are other
breeds of animals that could he named,
but the above number is sufficient, and de-
monstrates that what has been accomplish-
ed is not the result of chance, but of delib-
erate purpose to secure special objects
sought.
IMPROVEMENTS IN PLANTS.
—It would require much space to enum-
erate what has heen done in fruits and
plants. The tomato has been one of the
grandest acquisitions of the century, and
the strawberry now nearly rivals the plum
and peach in size. New varieties of all
kinds of fruits are numerous, and each
kind is grown for some speeial merit. The
Bartlett pear and Concord grape should not
be overlooked in mention, and the garden
vegetables are now almost entirely changed
from those of even 30 years ago. The Lima
bean is being taken away from poles (as
was done for the pea years ago, ) and stand-
ard trees are dwarfed by grafting. When
these great changes are considered it will
not be difficult to make a favorable com-
parison of the work of the breeder, the
seedsman and the horticulturist with the
mechanic, but it may be claimed that
while the use, of patents protected inven-
tors, there has been no protection whatever
for those who patiently and persistently
worked in the lines of improvement on
farms, though their work has been fully as
beneficial to the world as have been the ef-
forts of those who were inventors and dis-
coverers and who realized therefrom large
sums as their rewards.
—It is not creditable to those who grow
grapes and provide no supports, depending
upon trees or the sides of buildings. If
grapes are worth growing they should re-
ceive some attention. A single thrifty
vine may provide an abundant supply of
grapes for a small family, if properly sup-
ported and trimmed, but it may be un-
sightly and unprofitable if neglected. Noth-
ing indicates lack of tidiness more than a
neglected grape vine.
—If windmill irrigation, or pond irriga-
tion, or any other kind of irrigation can
ever be made to answer the purpose of giv-
ing a small tract of ground on every farm
a good soaking just in the nick of time be-
tween tardy showers in July or August,
there can be no question but that even
so small a piece of individual enterprise
as this would prove of ‘vast public
good. 2
—1If a burdock at any stage of growth is
cut below the surface of the ground and a | PO!
handful of salt thrown an.the cut surface it
completely destroys it. The moisture
from the cut dissolves the 'salt, and this in
turn helps to rot the root, so that no sprout
from.it is possible. The earlier thisis done
the less trouble it will be to cut the root
below the surface.
—Gooseberries and currants are the
most nfglecied of all fruits, receiving but
little cultivation, yet they pay well when
made specialties. The bushes need trim-
ming and caréful protection from weeds
and grass, and should receive an _abun-
dance of manure or fertilizer. which will
induce them to produee more and better
fruit. ,
\—If you desire a full matted row of
strawberries next spring work the plantsin
the row with a hoe, so as to kill the weeds
and grass, and then go deep on each side
with a cultivator, applying fertilizer liber-
ally, so as to have the plant food ready for
the runners that may be sent out by the
parent vines.
—1It is the labor that is the most expen-
sive item on a farm. It is- much cheaper
to have a good man at high wages, who
can handle the maximum number of cows.
than to have a cheap man who can do only
half as much work. A goed farm hand
who understands his business save time
and labor.
—A canning factory in Mississippi can-
ned 1000 bushels of sweet potatoes in 1893,
and sold them in Chicago at ninety-five
cents per dozen three-pound cans, one
bushel making about fifteen cans. This
factory paid farmers forty cents per hush-
.el;
—If you have fences on your farm see
that they are properly kept up. Broken
fences and tumble-down gates are sure in-
dications of indifference in the owner.
—Good blood is all right, but good quar-
ters, good feed and proper methods make
success doubly sure in the raising of
hogs.
The Poor Pacifico.
He Seems to Be Getting the Worst of . the Present
Spanish War in Cuba.—Two More Cases Cited.—The
Effects of Some of .Gen. Weyler's Ridiculous Or-
ders.—They Don't Bother the Rebels.—But They
Are Reducing Peaceful Farmers to Financial Ruin
by Depriving Them of Staple Crops.
From the province of Havana, via Key
West are proof of the cruel beat-
bg of two men, the murder of a third
and the maiming of a boy, none of
whom were connected with the war, and
the savage multilation of the corpses of
three insurgents inhumanly hacked in the
fury of fiendish vindictiveness. There have
come also notice of two other cases of
wanton bloodshed—the murder of a boy of
14 and the fatal assault of an unoffending
Cuban farmer in his field.
Investigations have been painstak-
ing. The witnesses are the peaeeiul
mourners of the dead. I have ‘not taken
the testimony of the insurgents, but have
listened to the stories of the neighbors and
eye-witnesses of the shocking atrocities.
The sugar estate La Frances is about nine
miles east on the north coast from Mariel.
It is near Playa Salads, where the dead
were desecrated the other day.
INSURGENTS PACK UP AND LEAVE.
The forces of Acosta had been in the
habit of camping on the estate, despite sev-
eral attempts to drive them out. The
place is a desirable one for an insurgent
camp, on account of the difficulty of ap-
proaching and because of the amount of
wild fruit about it. On the night of May
24, Commandate Morales, in charge of
the camp, got wind of a proposed Spanish
movement against him of three columns
in combination, to be made early in the
morning of the 25th. He accordingly
packed up and marched away late on the
night of the 24th, having only an average
of seven cartridges for each rifle, and hard-
ly in readiness to meet a concerted at-
tack.
The battalion of San Quintin, of the
Spanish forces, got into the camp early yes-
terday morning only to find it deserted.
There was a tobacco storehouse nearby fill-
en with this year's crop. It wasa poor
Pacifico’s only wealth. The rebels had
slept in it and the troops burned it to the
ground. This is but one of a large num-
ber of reported destructions of neutral pro-
perty by Spanish troops, which I have not
yet had time to investigate.
The little negro, Jose Puniento, had
very early in the morning left his mother’s
house on the American-owned estate, Cen-
tral Lucia.
SLASHED IN THE NECK WITH A SABRE.
He passed a neighbor’s way sack over
his arm and said he was going to the hills
to get some mangoes. This fruit is very
plentiful near La Frances, and the boy,
knowing nothing of the nearness of the
troops, went there. There he was killed
by the sabre cut of a Spanish soldier.
Brute the man must have been. He aimed
the blow at the boy’s neck. On the head
it would have mercifully paralyzed the
brain. The stained small bushes show the
long death struggle of the bleeding boy.
No postmortem Spanish fun was in-
dulged in. The body had been buried for
some hours when I arrived with the pa-
triots. I considered that the necessity for
absolute proof warranted its disinterment.
Not a man who stood by the side of the
boy’s body but realized that the same blow
might be dealt to one of his own family,
and yet these same men, for humanity
alone, liberated a confessed Spanish spy the
other day. This is the contrast.
On the 23rd of May, an escort of about
eight city Spanish guerrillas of Carinto,
under Captain Garcia, were conveying a
provision train on the road toward Havana.
Near Hoyo Colorado, they were fired upon
by five Cubans in ambush. One was killed.
STARVATION IN HAVANA SUBURBS.
They turned back towards Carinto, and
when near the place, took a Cuban mulatto
out of the field in which he was working,
and killed him. I have not yet verified
the details, but regard the facts as true.
Reports from the poor quarters of Ha-
vana, and from many small towns forming
its suburbs, indicate a condition there bor-
dering upon starvation. In obedience to
Government edict, and in fear of the Span-
ish troops, many farmers have gone there.
Their slender supply of money is fast giv-
ing out, and hunger is near. Could the
roads be used for transportation plenty of
food could be sent there and provisions be
cheapened.
The late edict of Weyler as to the re-
moval of this year’s crop of Indian corn is
a great injustice to the poor farmers and
will seriously cripple their food supply.
The edict provides that within 20 days all
the corn shall be conveyed from the farms
to the fortified towns, to be there stored
until it can be sold. The result will nat-
urally be such low prices as to return to
the farmers practically no money with
which to buy other cereal foods. Corn is
the only cereal at the command of the aver-
age Cuban farmer, and this edict will com-
pel thousands of people to live on sweet
tatoes and green bananas alone, with a
little meat.
EDICT FAILED OF ITS OBJECT.
The proclamation is only intended to de-
prive the insurgents of corn for their horses.
As a fact, very few insurgent horses get
more than semi-occasional feeds of corn,
the staple ration being sugar cane. Nat-
urally, there is cane and to spare this year,
so that the insurgent horses will actually
experience no hardship whatever. The
only ones to suffer will be the peaceable
farmers.
They say they would rather have the in-
surgents burn their corn than to haul it to]
the towns for nothing. According to the
edict, all corn not moved within the speci-
fied time will be regarded as contrabrand
of war, will be burned and its owners re-
garded as insurgents. This last clause is
very significant. No provision is made for
tlee retention of even enough corn for seed
for next year. -
Indian corn is one of the principal foods
of the country Cubans. It is used here as
generally it is in the United States by the
‘‘poor whites’ and the negroes of the South.
Some time ago an edict was published re-
quiring the farmers of certain provinces to
move their families to fortified towns.
SPANIARDS CORRECT A BLUNDER.
The provinces named are the ones in
which the most active military operations
were and are being carried on,the intention
probably being to deprive ins nts of the
great benefits of the willing services of these
pacificos as guides, spies and scouts.
The edict was a ridiculously impossible
one for general compliance: but was partial-
ly obeyea, and, as has been stated in
much misery has come upon the
towns in consequence of their hosts of en-
forced and needy guests.
The Government has now acknowledged
its mistake by ordering the pacificos to
stay at home, as it cannot undertake the
responsibility of feeding them in the towns:
This state if affairs was prophesied two
months ago, at the time of the first edict.

Spanish troops be stopped from the killing
of farm laborers, the rich country of West-
ern Havana and Eastern Pinar del Rio will

Sor years.
Tobacco Growing in Florida.
There has been any amount of talk and
writing about the excellent qualities of the
tobacco that can be raised in Florida and
Georgia. We have been told again and
again that there is no reason in the world
why the Florida product should not be
equal in quality to that of Cuba, only
ninety miles distant. The Florida papers
and enthusiastic tobacco men never tire of
setting the advantages of Florida before us
as a tobacco growing section. In fact, we
know of no reason why Florida should not
be all that is claimed for her, nor why her
tobacco should not he equal to that grown
in the most noted districts of the ‘‘Ever
Faithful Isle.”” But we do know that up
to the present moment the facts as develop-
ed by the attempts of tobacco growing in
the Flowery State have never come up to
the high sounding terms of the promoters.
If ever there was a time to make tobacco
growing profitable in Florida, that time is
now. When remedies are selling at whole-
sale in New York at 60 cents for spot cash,
and ordinary Vuelta fillers from 75 cents to
$1.25 in bond, one would think the enthu-
siasts who have so long been raising fine
Florida tobacco on paper would go to work
and raise a crop that can be cured in barns
and packed in bales. Think of it! Any-
where from sixty cents to one dollar per
pound for this tobacco, which it is said will
grow in Florida justas weeds grow here in
the North. There are no duties to pay on
the Florida tobacco. It is protected to the
extent of 35 cents on fillers and $1.50 on
wrappers. The Florida people ought to be
able to beat the native Cubans out of their
boots at this game. :
If tobacco growing cannot be made a
success in Floriea now it never can be. The
chances are all in favor of the Florida peo-
ple. That State is alive with Cubans of
all sorts, cigarmakers, tobacco growers, re-
fugees and what.not. Let these men go to
work and show what can be done. Condi-
tions equally favorable may never present
themselves again. We understand that a
company is already at work on this prob-
lem ; that it hasa capital of $150,000, owns
1,200 acres of land, described as magnificent
tobacco land, and has a five years’ lease on
several hundred acres more. A colony of
skilled Cuban tobacco growers was brought
over. They have planted a crop, it is said.
The crop is reported in splendid condition,
and by the first of July will be in the
tobacco sheds. A second crop will be
planted in August and September. Two
crops are expected annually, and each one
will be worth $500 per acre. We will wait
and see, but, of course, we take no stock
in these extravagant figures. But if to-
bacco culture proves a failure in Florida,
under the present company, then the less
that is Said about Florida tobacco growing
hereafter the better.—Lancaster New Era.
Beating the Record.
In one respect the Congress that has just
adjourned went ahead of the Reed billion
Congress. It has turned more Democrats
out of their seats. Of the 32 Democrats
whose seats were contested, 12 were turned
out and 8: Republicans and 2 fiee silver
Populists given their places. In two other
cases it was decided that neither the con-
testant nor the contestee were entitled to
seats, and they were declared vacant. In
the Reed billion Congress of 1890 nine
Democrats were unseated, but this, in a
partisan sense, was more excusable than
The Republicans found it necessary in 1890
to add to their meager plurality in order to
pass the force bill, the McKinley tariff and
the Sherman silver purchase law. All the
nine Democrats thrown out were re-elected
by increased majorities. The people re-
buked the larcenous propensities of the
Republicans. It is within the bounds of
possibility that they may do the same at
the elections this fall in the case of the 12
Democrats who have lost their seats. It is
true a number of contested cases were de-
cided in favor of the Democratic sitting
members, and much credit is claimed there-
for ; but in these instances there was no
excuse for even the most rabid partisan to
oust the honestly elected members, and
they were confirmed in their seats by a
unanimous vote. In voting on contested
seats in Congress Thad Stevens long ago
laid down the accepted doctrine. ‘“Which
of the blankety-blank rascals is ours?”
inquired the * t commoner.’ Being
told it was Smith, or Jones, or Thompson,
he so voted, adding, ‘‘We can’t be overly
contestants a liberal sum, amounting al-
most to the salary, an invitation is always
hung out to contest seats, so we have an
increasing number at ever session.—Pitts-
burg Post.
Cherry Pudding.
Beat three eggs, the yolks and whites
together, until very light ; add one pint of
milk and three heaping cups of flour ; then
beat well ; add a scant teaspoonful of salt,
one ounce of melted butter, two teaspoon-
fuls of baking powder. Stone one and a
half pints of cherries. Let stand until the
juice has drained from them ; then flour
and add to the pudding. Boil in a greased
mold for three and a half hours, being care-
ful that the water is boiling when the mold
is put into it, and do not allow the water
to stop boiling or the pudding will be
heavy. If necessary, fill up, the pot with
nboiling water. Serve with butter and
sugar sauce, flavored with sherry wine and
nutmeg.
For a Black Eye.
For a black eye there is nothing to com-
pare with the tincture or strong infusion
of capsicum annuum mixed with an equal
bulk of mucilage or gum arabic with the
addition of afew drops of glycerine, says
‘‘Medical .’? 'Thisshould be pain-
ted over the bruised surface with a camel’s-
hair pencil and allowed to dry on, a sec-
ond or third coating being applied as soon
as the first is dry. If this is done as soon
as the injury is inflicted it will invariably
prevent blackening of the bruised tissue.
Florida Indians.
“Our Indians,’ says Dr. Brecht, Indian
commissioner in the state of Florida, ‘‘are
not multiplying rapidly. This is due to
physiological and social reasons. Still,
there has been an increase. In 1859 there
were but 112. Now there are something
over 500. The chief social reason for their
slow propogation is the custom of coun-
tenancing no marriages of persons who
have a drop of the same blood in their
veins. This is sometimes hard on the girls.
One leader I know has two beautiful daugh-
ters, who cannot get married because the
eligible young men are almost all kin to

——The Walla Walla, Wash., States-
man, in commenting upon the extrava-
gance of the Republican Congress, makes a
pointed comment as to the effect it will
have on the residents of that county, which
is equally applicable to the citizens of this
county. The Statesman says :
“The total appropriations by this Con-
gress amount to about $600,000,000, or
about $9 for every man, woman and child
in the country. This money is raised by
taxing all the people through tariff and
internal revenue charges. But all the peo-
ple do not get a share of these appropria-
tions, but only a small minority of the peo-
ple receive any benefit from them.
“The people of Walla Walla county pay
their share of these taxes whether they are
conscious of the fact or not. An average of
$9 per capita is paid by every inhabitant of
this county. A family of six pay about
$54. How much of this comes back to us ?
In the present appropriation bill there is
not a cent for Walla Walla, except a pro-
vision which includes the salaries of the
federal officers here. We get no allowance
for a public building, or for any other pub-
lic object.
——Weyler’s prohibition .of the ship-
ment of bananas from certain Cuban ports
is another exhibition cf arbitrary stupidity.
All the bananas that the United States can
eat can be obtained from other West Indian
and Central American countries. But Wey-
ler seems to regard it as the chief object of
Spanish rule that Cuba shall not be able to
sell any of her products.

B= A BATCH OF BISCUITS.
Sift one quart of flour, two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and one teaspoonful of salt
into a bowl ; add three teaspconfuls of COTTOLENE and rub together until thoroughly mixed ;
then add sufficient milk to make a soft dough ; knead slightly, roll out about half an inch thick,
and cut with a small biscuit cutter. Place a little apart in a greased pan, and x ina quick oven
for fifteen minutes. These biscuits should be a delicate brown top and bottom, light on the sides,
and snowy white when broken open.
The secret of success in this recipe, as in others, is to use but two-thirds as much COTTOLENE
as you -used to use lard. Cottolene will make the biscuit light, delicious, wholesome. Better
than any biscuit you ever made before. Try it. Be sure and get genuine COTTOLENE. Sold
