FARM NOTES.
In setting out an orchard as soon
as the trees arrive plow a deep fur-
row and heel them in preparatory to
planting, deepen the furrow to fif-
teen inches with a spade, cut the
twine which holds the bundle together,
spread out in the trench and cover with
dirt. After all the trees are in, wet the
roots thoroughly. They can safely stay
here until the land is in proper order for
planting.
I plant my trees in rows 32 feet apart
and 16 feet apart in the row, making 80
trees per acre. The rows run north and
south. :
Well drained land is essential to a good
orchard. I plow north and south where I
wish the rows of trees to stand, plowing as
deeply as possible and having the deep fur-
row come where a row of trees is to stand.
plow up the bottom of the dead furrow,
stirring as deeply as possible, then by back
furrowing make a ridge on which to set the
trees.
When the land is properly staked scoop
out a large deep hole where the tree is to
stand and place some good soi] in the bot-
tom, having it highest in the centre. Never
bend the roots, cut back bruised or broken
roots to sound wood. Plant two inches
deeper than the trees were in the nursery.
Lean considerably toward the two o’clock
sun, with the lowest and heaviest branches
on the south west side. Plant when the
soil will powder and pack it very carefully
about the roots. Use the hest surface soil
for filling it. Never let pure manure
come in contact with the roots, but place
it on top of the ground. When the hole is
three-fourths filled, wet with four or five
gallons of water and after the water has
disappeared finish filling it. Staking is
never needed if trees are well planted.
Mulch trees with coarse manure or straw
six inches or more in depth. Do not let
grass or weeds grow in the orchard.
Thorough cultivation eight or nine times
in a season is a great factor in growing a
successful orchard. Cornstalks cut two
feet long and tied about the base of the
tree are almest a complete protection
against borers, mice, rabbits and sunscald.
I plant the wide space hetween the trees to
some kind of a crop, leaving plenty of
room for cultivating the trees and fertiliz-
ing them. It is better to plant no trees at
all than poor varieties or to plant good va-
rieties and neglect to care for them.’’
—1In selecting a site for a rosebed it is of
the first importance to see that it is well
drained. Roses will not do well on soil
that is wet and soggy, or one that holds
water. The ideal rose soil is a rich loam
with a pourous clay subsoil, but as every
lover of the rose has not got this sort of
land it is well to remark that one can, by
artificial means, overcome the natural de-
fects of the soil and location. If the soil is
compact, with a tight subsoil, then the top
should be removed and the subsoil loosen-
ed up to the depth of two feet and a quan-
tity of gravel or sand mixed with it. If
the location of the bed is not high and well
drained tiie drainage should be provided.
The top soil should be replaced, adding
thereto a liberal quantity of rotted sods,
rich compost and bone meal, thoroughly in-
corporating these with the soil. The plants
should be set three feet apart each way,
says Vick’s Magazine.
One of the worst diseases which afflicts
our roses is the black spot, a fungous dis-
ease which appears on the foliage in small
black spots, which increase rapidly in size
and number, and soon cause the leaf to
drop. It is infectious and rapidly spreads
to other leaves and plants, and soon -defo-
liates the plants and ruins the flowers. It
is a good practice to gather all the diseased
leaves and burn them, thereby destroying
the spores and checking the further spread
of the fungous. But the only sure way of
preventing the disease is to commence
early in the spring, as soon as the leaves
appear, to spray the plants thoroughly once
each week throughout the season with Bor-
deaux mixture. I find this to be almost a
complete remedy for this disease as well as
for the mildew, and much better than sul-
phur for the latter. My roses are never
troubled to any great eX¥ent with insects.
The flowers should all be cut when they
begin to fade ; if left on the plant they not
only look unsightly, but check the pro-
duction of flowers. Weeds or grass should
never be allowed in the rosebed. In dry
weather the plants must have plenty of
water if flowers are to be expected. I find
a mulch of straw or other litter of the
greatest value in producing fancy roses.
This mulch should be placed over the
entire surface of the bed to the depth of six
inches to one foot, or at least deep enough
to prevent weed growth. It keeps the soil
cool and moist during the hottest weather,
and roses so treated thrive luxuriantly.
One always regrets losing the tender teas
and other roses during the winter. They
always become so much better if wintered
over. After some experiment I have dis-
covered a method which is entirely success-
ful. In brief my method is as follows:
Take common, cheap lumber 12 inches
wide and saw into lengths of 12 inches,
nail these together as for a box, but with-
out top or bottom. In the late autumn,
before the severe cold weather, cut back
the tea roses to within six inches of the
ground. Set a box over the plant, fill
with dry straw or sawdust and cover with
a board so as to keep the tops dry. They
will come through in perfect condition.
—It is the habit of most farmers to plant
a few potatoes for early use in the garden.
But this is a bad practice, because often
the potatoes are planted on the same ground
year after year, and as the germs of disease
live in the soil over winter the potatoes
thus grown are likely to be diseased. Be-
sides, where potatoes are grown in succes-
sion the soil is filled with hard shell potato
bugs, which'.come up just about the time
the potatoes do and will often be found
gnawing the pototo shoot before it is fairly
out of the ground. It is much better to
plow a clover sod somewhere on rich land
for the early potatoes and reserve the gar-
den for vegetables not so easily grown by
field culture.
—The tomato needs a long season to ma-
ture its fruit, and frost often kills the vines
just as the fruit is beginning to ripen.
Strong stocky plants, well started under
shelter and ready to put out in open ground
as soon as danger of frost is over. are desir-
able, but the tall, weak and spindling
specimens so often offered for sale are to be
avoided. The gardener may be overkind
to his tomatoes by planting them in rich,
damp soil. So treated the plants will make
an excessive growth of vine and leaf, but
bear little fruit. Planting on a dry piece
of ground moderately fertilized will give
better results.
—Mortgages are like the wages of the
sea—the vessel they hold up to-day they
swamp to-morrow.
New Naval Warfare.
Interesting Description of How an Ironclad is
Fought.
Now that a new naval war is imminent
the nature of the discipline on hoard an
ironclad in action will be of interest to the
general reader. The distribution of the
crew for action is based on the principle of
dividing the armament into ‘‘quarters,’’
and to number or name the guns so as to
give them an individuality without refer-
ence to their size. When action is immi-
nent every one on hoard repairs to the al-
lotted station, below, on deck or aloft.
The gunner obtains the keys of the maga-
zines, gives them to the men in charge,
sees that the lights are lit and everything
in working order. As soon as the guns are
cleared away and loaded report to that ef-
fect is made to the captain.
When this has been done the gun crews
are provided with small arms, upon which
they close up round their guns and await
further orders. A supply of light, quick-
firing machine-guns, rifle and pistol ammu-
nition is then passed up ready for distribu-
tion on deck and a proportion of it sent
aloft. This ammunition is served out first
to the small-arm party and to boarders,
and to the remainder of the crew as soon as
their guns are cleared away and arms pro-
vided. In each tube a torpedo is placed
ready for discharge. Helmsmen are pro-
vided ready to take charge of the hand-
steering apparatus in the event of the steam
steering geer being carried away. Order-
lies, buglers and men stationed at voice
tubes are ordered to repair to their stations
but the use of the bugle in action is re-
stricted as far as possible, as long and com-
plicated calls are liable to be misunder-
stood.
The dress for men in action is as inflam-
mable as possible, the blue working rig be-
ing considered the best. There is no rea-
son why action dress should not in future
be saturated with the non-inflammable
material similar to that now employed in
all American ships of war. It is a curious
point that in action boots and shoes are or-
dered to be worn by all men on deck and
in the tops. That portion of the crew en-
gaged in the magazines are provided with
list slippers. There was a great tendency
in Nelson’s time to strip during action.
This practice is now discouraged. Waist
helts and patches are worn, and men who
have pistols are obliged to wear them.
A fire brigade, consisting of carpenters
and stokers, screw on hose and rig all hand
pumps ready for fire. A man is stationed
at each water-tight door, which is kept
open, ready to close it when the order is
given. As the spread of fire may at any
time menace the safety of the magazine,
the key of the valve admitting water to
the magazine level is either keptin the
personal charge of the captain or at his dis-
cretion by the officer in charge of the gun-
deck. A supply of oatmeal and water for
drinking is arranged all over the ship, es-
pecially in the vicinity of magazines, ma-
chinery compartments, stoke-holes and
shell-rooms. No intoxicating liquor is
served on the day of action on board any
well-regulated ironclad. This is a great
departure from the practice of double ra-
tions of grog that were in vogue a hundred
years ago.
Every division of boarders ready to leap
onto the enemy’s ship and take it by as-
sault when its armament has been silenced
has a special place of its own on the upper
deck, wither the men repair when called.
Every officer on board has a special station
where he is to be found unless specially
employed elsewhere.
The danger of fire during action since
the battle of Yalu has occupied close atten-
tion of admiralties of all countries. All
fires breaking out below the gun deck are
in charge of the fire brigade, thus leaving
the gun crews free for their important du-
ties. When, however, the fire is likely to
make head notwithstanding the efforts of
the firemen one or more gun crews are called
off as necessity may arise for the purpose
of attending the hose. As a fire may occur
in the neighborhood of a magazine or shell-
room, and the supply of ammunition to the
guns on deck during action be interrupted
from this cause, a special drill for obviating
this difficulty is arranged, so as to prevent
slackening of fire, by the provision of shell
and ammunition from other magazines. If
the fire is on the gun-deck the gun crews
are not told off to deal with it except in
emergency, as the maintenance of rapid
and steady fire in action is the paramount
object of every commander. In case the
fire becomes so serious as to make it neces-
sary to go to general fire stations, the guns
are fired or their ammunition is thrown
overboard. The small ammunition on
deck is either thrown overboard or placed
in a convenient position for that purpose.
Other details of action drill include the
resistance to torpedo-boat attack, which
the Americans are now hard at work prac-
tising in their various squadrons. Ifan at-
tack be expected by night in dry weather
the decks, gun-carriages, etc., are white-
washed—a device which in the absence of
artificial light is of great service to the
crew of a ship attacked by torpedo boats.
The use of small arms is discouraged, as
experience shows that no weapon using
lead bullets is of much use in repelling tor-
pedo attack, The guns in the firing-tops,
as they enjoy the advantage of plunging
fire through the unprotected decks of the
torpedo-boats, are found to be the best pri-
mary means of defense. The larger guns
can only be used against torpedo boats for
one or two rounds. They are reserved
when hitting is practically assured, and then
only in a last resource. The introduction
of smokeless powder for the auxiliary arma-
ment is likely to prove an immense advan-
tage to the American navy, as with or-
dinary vigilance the successful approach of
a torpedo boat is practically impossible.
In the event of a night attack, and in fact
in action altogether, the use of the bugle is
restricted as much as possible. None but
important orders are now conveyed by it.
The noise of action under any circum-
stances is bewildering, the torment of the
three-pounders in the tops being considered
more trying than heavy guns in turret.
Each gun, in the event of torpedo attack,
is given a definite arc of the horizon to de-
fend, and the gun crews ars forbidden
from directing their aim at any object out-
side the limits of those arcs. All the men
at disengaged guns are as a rule ordered to
lie down and to take cover as much as pos-
sible, but they are not as a rule sent below
during an action, as the service of the guns
may be required to be resumed at any mo-
ment.
The fire discipline prescribed in the na-
vies of the great powers is practically the
same, though long experience has taught
British naval authorities certain details of
secrets of the greatest value, which, being
confidential, cannot be disclosed in a news-
paper article.
West India Cables.
Fully a Score of Them Connect the Islands With
the Rest of the World.
More than a score of submarine cables,
operated by six different companies, afford
means of telegraphic communication be-
nba A
cad,
tween the West Indies and this country,
and the places of particular importance are
so well connected that any interruption in
the service is regarded as unlikely by the
officials of the cable companies. Neverthe-
less, the vigilance of the Spanish censors at
Porto Rico, Santiago de Cuba and Havana
and of American censors at Key West and
New York prevents the unrestricted trans-
mission of news and causes delays in the
dispatches which are passed by the censors
as well as the suppression of messages
which do not meet with favor of these of-
ficials.
From Porto Rico there are four lines, all
under control of the Spanish censors. The
cable of the West Indies and Panama cable
company crosses the islands, and one line
extends from Juan, on the north coast, the
other from Ponce, on the south coast, both
to Kingston, Jamaica. From the latter
place the line of the Direct West India ca-
ble company extends by way of Turk’s isl-
and and Bermuda to Halifax, whence land
lines and the cables of the Commercial ca-
ble company afford abundant communica-
tion with New York. From Jamaica there
are also the double cable lines of the Cuba
submarine telegraph company to Santiago
de Cuba, thence to Cienfuegos, thence to
Batabano, and across the island of Cuba to
Havana. Four western union cables cross
from that city to Key West, and thence to
Punta Rassa, whence land lines carry the
messages to New York.
The other two lines of the West India
and Panama cable company leave Porto
Rico from San Juan and Ponce and extend
to St. Thomas, whence a single cable runs
through the Lesser Antilles to Martinique,
and on down to Trinidad and South Ameri-
can points. The French West Indies cable
company can take a message at Martinique
and send it to Porto Plata, Haiti, thence
to Cape Haitien and on by several loops to
Santiago de Cuba, where it can be taken
by the Cuba submarine telegraph company.
Or at Cape Haitien the United States and
Haiti telegraph and cable company can
take the message and send it by its direct
line to New York.
All messages coming from Porto Rico
now have to pass the Spanish censor at
San Juan or Ponce. But from St. Thomas
messages can be sent by using the lines of
three different companies, at heavy expense
by way of Martinique and Haiti, to New
York, and here they will come under the
scrutiny of the American censor, who
stands guard at the New York end of the
line, at No. 17 William street.
Upon the capture of Porto Rico the cable
lines will fall into the hands of the United
States, and Rear Admiral Sampson will be
able to report to Washington either by
way of Jaimaica and Halifax or by way of
Martinique and Haiti.—New York Tribune.
Reconcentrados Perishing.
Wretched Cubans Dyiny of Starvation Between the
Spanish and Insurgent Military Lines.
Key West, Fla.,, May 15.—Affairs at
Havana now appear to be worse than at
any time since the Weyler regime. The
fishermen, who at first braved the block-
ade for the high price fish bought in Hava-
na, now run the risk, not for money, but
‘| for the food which they obtain from the
sea. A number of these men have been
captured by the vessels of the blockading
fleet, nearly all of them being released
after having been questioned by our offi-
cers. They all unite in picturing the state
of things at Havana as being pitiful in the
extreme.
The Machias caught two fishing boats off
Havana just before her return here. The
Americans offered the fishermen money for
part of their catch, as the fish were needed
on hoard. But the fisherman demurred at
taking money. They preferred to have
bread, and were desperately hungry. They
said there was little sickness at Havana but
there was much starvation. The reconcen-
trados are nearly all dead or have been ex-
pelled from the city to die in the suburbs.
The Spanish authorities, on the departure
of the American consul, seized all the re-
lief supplies and applied them to the uses
of the army. The Spaniards then drove
the reconcentrados into the desolate sections
of the country, between the coast towns
and the insurgent lines, the regions too
barren and desolate to support grass-hop-
pers. The insurgents have been chary of
receiving reconcentrados, and hundreds of
the latter, who had no personal friends in
the insurgent camps, had heen left to starve
between the lines.
About Havana the situation is even
worse. Hundreds of reconcentrados from
Los Fosas, the biggest reconcentrados bar-
racks in Havana, were too weak to walk
out of town, and fell in the streets or died
in the suburbs, were flocks of vultures,
‘“‘Weyler’s chickens,” as they are now
termed in Havana, have feasted on the re-
mains, In Matanzas this feature of the
situation is equally distressing. The fish-
ermen who have been brought here are
mostly soon reconciled to capture, which
means food and decent treatment. They
say that if the blockade continues much
longer, bread riots must soon follow in all
the large towns, as food is reserved exclu-
sively for the army, thus forcing many
people to enlist, who would not otherwise
do so. The fishermen say that certain of
the most desperate of the Spaniards threat-
en to burn Havana or blow the city up in
the event of the authorities deciding to ca-
pitulate to American forces.
The Katahdin.
A Vessel for Which Foreign Nations Have no Match.
Naval experts have argued for and
against the value of the ram vessel Katah-
din as a factor in a sea fight, while all ad-
mit that the ram itself is an extremely
powerful and dangerous weapon. A ship
designed exclusively for ramming is some-
thing which is still to be tested, and at
present the arguers are holding their peace,
waiting to hear what the odd looking craft
will have to say when she confronts an
army enemy.
On ber last trip she failed to make the
speed required by her contract, and im-
proved propellers of magazine bronze were
substituted for those originally used.
These had the effect of materially “increas-
ing her speed and adding to the discomfort
of those on hoard, for the work of speeding
her is not at all agreeable to those who are
below when she is in a hurry. When she
is going at full speed the only objects visi-
ble above the deck are the steel conning
tower, which is used as a pilot house ; the
smoke pipes, the ventilators and a slender
signal mast, and below everything is a
smother of heat and a deafening racket.
The steel ram of the Katahdin weighs
about fourteen tons, and as her hull, about
fifteen feet back from her stem, is of the
shovel-nose order, she throws a great mass
of water up over her deck when under way.
As this ram is her only weapon of offence,
it seems as if this trouble could now be
avoided.
A peculiarity of her hull is the knife-
edge which the deck makes in its projec-
tion over the underwater part of her hull.
This is expected to exert a great cutting
force in case she could succeed in getting
her ram through the plating of a ship she
intended to sink. She has the advantage
of being remarkably quick in answering
her helm, and is steady going, even at her
highest speed. Her disadvantages are said
to be that she cannot strike deep enough to
hurt a heavy battleship which she could
catch, while the lighter armored vessels,
which she could sink, could get away
from her by superior speed.
Another point which has been made is
the possibility that her ram bow would he
twisted off by the motion of a vessel which
she might strike while it was at full speed
in an effort to escape.
All these points, however are purely
speculative, and those who are interested
in the hoat are waiting to see what will
happen when she runs against a Spanish
battleship.
Spanish Cabinet Out.
Sagasta Stiil at the Head.—Being the Liberal Lea-
der, He is Charged With the Formation of the New
Govering Body.
The Spanish Cabinet resigned Sunday
though Senor Sagasta will be charged with
the task of forming a new one. The Li-
beral Cabinet, under Senor Sagasta, was
formed shortly after the assassination of
Senor Canovas del Castillo, on August 8th,
1897. General Azcarraga, the then Min-
ister of War, was first appointed president;
but Senor Sagasta assumed office on Oct.
4th, confronted by the troublers in Cuba
and in the Philippine Islands. One of the
first steps taken by Senor Sagasta was to
recall General Weyler. After the brilliant
victory of the United States fleet under
Commodore Dewey, on May 1st, the situa-
tion became more and more strained, and
the Minister of Marine, Admiral Bermejo ;
the Minister of War, General Correa, and
especially the Minister for the Colonies,
were repeatedly attacked in Parliament.
‘The conclusion to be drawn from the
reorganization, that they are seeking a
peaceable solution of the American ques-
tion, has for the moment been abandoned,
and the war will be prosecuted vigorously.”’
“Four Ministers, Senors Gullon, Ber-
mejo, Moret and Xiquera, will retire, part-
ly for personal reasons and partly because
of differences on important policies. Senor
Sagasta will choose the strongest Liberals
he can find, but several of the strongest,
notably Senor Gamazo, have intimated that
they will not take office at present. It is
hoped and expected that General Correa,
Minister of War, who has valuable quali-
fications for his present post, will remain.”
Havana is Confident.
People Think the Americans Cannot Stand the
Climate.
Blanco has shown great energy in prepar-
ing for the expected siege by the American
fleet and land forces. The city and forts
are provisioned for three or four months.
It is believed the mortality among the be-
siegers in the hot and rainy season will
compel the Americans to raise the siege,
Havana is now surrounded by entrench-
ments for thirty miles. The troops in the
garrison number 70,000, and a like num-
ber are in the interior fighting the insur-
gents.
The condition of the reconcentrados in
Havana grows steadily worse. The Span-
iards ask them when their Yankee bene-
factors are coming to relieve them. The
mortality is increasing among the wretched
class, who have taken to begging for morsels
of food. Nobody in Havana except a few
higher officers know that the Spanish fleet
was annihilated at Manila, and the story is
believed that the Americans. were beaten
there. Blanco allows no unfavorable news
to be circulated.
It is believed in Havana that the cam-
paign in the island will prove enormously
fatal to the American troops and will be
prolonged a year. Another account is that
food supplies in Havana are good for a
much less time, and that Blanco is in a
trap unless the Spanish fleet breaks the
blockade to allow supplies to come in.
The Havana people continue light-heart-
ed and the theatres put on pieces ridiculing
the American fleet.
Living on Horse Flesh.
Provisions Running Very Short in Manila—Insur-
gents Wanted to Attack the City.
HoNG KoNG, May 15.—The United
States dispatch boat Hugh McCullough ar-
rived here to-day from Manila with dis-
patches for the United States government.
She reports that the Spanish gunboat Cal-
lao, from the Caroline islands, recently en-
tered Manila, being ignorant of the out-
break of the hostilities. An American war
ship fired across her bows and signaled her
a demand for her surrender. The demand
being disregarded, the American ships fired
direct at the Spanish gunboat and the lat-
ter surrendered.
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horseflesh, and the prospect of re-
lief seems far distant. The Philippine in-
surgents applied to Rear Admiral Dewey
for his approval of an attack by them upon
‘the city. The admiral approved of the
plan provided no excesses were committed.
The insurgents then pleaded that they had
no arms, with the exception of machetes,
to which the admiral replied : ‘‘Help your-
selves at the Cavite arsenel.”’
The city of Manila, however, has not yet
been attacked. About 5,000 Spanish troops
are guarding the road leading from Cavite
to Manila. There is no truth in the re-
ported massacre of a number of Americans.
Starvation Near Havana.
Cartloads of Dead Reconcentradoes Taken Daily
Through the Spanish Lines.
A tale of great suffering in Havana was
brought to Key West, by Major Lima, in-
spector of the northern coast of Cuba of the
Cuban army under General Alexander Rod-
riguez, who arrived last week with four of-
ficers of his staff.
Major Lima was taken off the coast of
Cuba between Del Norte and Cojimar by a
United States gunboat, and was transferred
to a torpedoboat, which vessel brought him
here. The Major is the bearer of dispatches
for the United States military authorities
asking for the co-operation of the latter
and seeking arms and supplies. He may
proceed to Tampa after conferring with
Commodore Watson.
Major Lima says the uprising in the
vicinity of Havana has brought about fright-
ful conditions of starvation. He adds that
cartloads of reconcentrados who have died
from lack of food are taken daily through
the Spanish lines. The hodies are thrown
together in piles, without any form of
burial, for the buzzards to feed upon.
Major Lima asserts that the Cubans
around Havana are gathering strength
every day, but he explains that they are
in need of supplies.

According to accounts received here the
blockade of Havana is pinching the in-
habitants dreadfully. Nothing in the shape
of supplies is entering the city, and the
residents are gloomy and depressed. Or-
ders have been issued by General Blanco
prohibiting dealers from selling more than
one day’s supplies to the same persons at
one time.
Fresh provisions are very scarce and meat
is selling at 75 to 80 cents gold per pound.
