The Clyde line steamer Saginaw
has arrived from San Domingo,
her passengers bring news of the
arrest of the president of Sau Dom
imro hv French naval officers in
San Domingo City. AccordingTof
their story the president had taken
502,000 from a Faench bank, the
manager of which called upon two
French cruisers lying in the harbor
to prevent the escape of the presi
dent to Monte Christi, whither he
was about to start to quell an in
surrection. The presiden's sudden
descent upon the bank was the
outcome of a legal suit between
him and some of the French
residents, involving the payment
of a sum of money. The case was
sent to the higher court for judg
ment, but apparently this delayed
it too long to suit the president, so
he ordered out the militia with,
instructions to seize whatever
French gold they could find. The
soldiers proceeded to the bank on
March 14, tore down doors, blew
open vaults and carried off iHSli.OOO
in cash. The French commander on
the cruisers was apprised of the
outrage and sent an armed force
ashore, which captured the presi
dent as he was about to proceed to
Monte Christi, a small place on
Dominican and Haytian borders.
The president was held in custody
and word sent to France regard
ing the afiair. Another French ship
on the way to San Domingo City,
with instructions as to how the
case should be disposed of. An
indemnity of $100,000 was at first lc
ininiledj but this demand was
withdrawn pending the arrival of
tWe next French mail. The passen
gers who reached here today state
that there is truble brewing in San
Domingo.
Trapping Wolfe In Franc.
Among other contrivances there is
one that outwits the sagacity of the
wolf with as little hardship as such a
capture admits. Within a circle of
strong stakes not very closely plant
ed sheep or a goose is confined.
At a .distance o4 10 inches is nn
outer circle of stakes having an en
trance 18 inches wide. The path le
tween the two circles is well lionten
down. The door of the outef one,
which folds back against the inner,
is set invitingly ojK'ii.
In marches the cautious wolf pur
sues the path till lie comes to thy
hack of the ojten door, pushes against
the yielding obstacle, and by so do
ing closes the entrance ugainst him
self. The latch falls at the impact
of the door against the doorjiostaiKl
he is hojielessly fast, unable to touch
the decoy animal of the inner circle
or to leap over the strongly planted
poles of the outer one. Thus mglo
riously kidnaped, the victim is soon
dispatched. Black wood's Magazine.

PLOWS AND PLOWING.

well, must do it himself or instruct his
men how to do it. Suppose wo haven

stnnl :i:g crofis. Even a poor plowman
will find little difficulty in striking out
the furrow in the center mid go on all
right for awhile, but as the plowing pro
gresses and the team naturally crowds
toward the plowed ground when Hearing
the end of long furrows on each side
the corners become rounded, and when
the piece is all plowed clear to the side
the four corners will still be left un
touched and must be finished with an
immoderate amount of turning, and at
last will be jioorly done or left partly un
finished. A good plowman will strike
his last furrow exactly on the very edge
of the piece.
The market gardener also needs a
good, light 1-horse plow to plow up
smaller patches for second and tliird
crops, in cultivating and hilling up cele
rv and for various other uses. Every
..inlware dealer keeps them.
Subsoiling is not absolutely necessary
for warm loam with jKirons subsoil, but
generally of considerable benefit for
soils resting on a heavier and compact
lower stratum. Such a plow following
the furrow made by the comuion plow
is intended to lift and break the layer
ueit under the top soil, says Griener in
"How to Make the Garden Pay," from
which the foregoing is a reprint.
Henderson, in "Gardening For Profit,"
says the subsoil plow accomplishes the
work of stirring, loosening and draining
the soil beneath the furrow of the com
mon plow, lifting and breaking but not
turning the B"bsoi11
On very stiff soils
he nsed the subsoiler once in two years:
in lighter soils not so often.
To avoid the frequent change of share
and the extra cost of replacing them a
reversible, self sharfiening slip point is
now made. When the bottom of this
point or slip share is worn and the plow
tends to run out of the ground by reason
of the rounded point, the slip point is
taken out and reversed, and thus dou
bles the length of its useful life.
The Firmer'! Hotbed.
Where the farmer or gardener is too
fur removed from business centers to
buy plants cheaply of the seedsmen, a
hotbed will be found convenient for
starting many kinds of plants. The first
step to lie taken is getting ready the ma
nure with which to simply the required
bottom heat. Here is what the agricul
tural editor of the New York World has
to say on the subject:
Fresh horse manure, mixed thorough
ly with one-third to one-half its bulk of
leaves, or straw used for bedding, or
other manure that hits been heated once,
is the material preferred. As soon as
this compost begins to ferment turn it
ugain and let it remain until signs appear
of a second fermentation. Make an ex
cavation about 2.J feet deep and of a size
to suit the sash on hand or nnmlier of
plants required. Locate this pit in a dry
spot facing south or east. One sash will
generally give early plants enough for a
large family.
The frame for the sash or sashes may
be made of boards nailed to small poMs
at the corners. This frame ought to be
about 19 inches high at the back and 1'.'
inches in front to give the projier slot
to catch the sunlight. To facilitate the
opening and shutting of the frame, cross
pieces should be planed for the sash to
slide on. When all is ready, tread the
manure down firmly in the pit to the
J depth of 2j feet, put on the sash a ml
I keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
In two or three days spread on top soil
i to a depth of six or eight inches. In
this seed may be sown in drills two or
three inches apart for early tomatoes,
eggplant, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce,
pepper, etc.
I'Miiturt-i In harly Spring
1 Do not pasture your grass lands before
I the ground settles and the sod is firm.
I By too early pasturing the tops are kept
closely cut oil', ami the roots are much
injured. To gain and thrive the grass
needs some green leaves. Where thin
and unproductive, harrow the surface
and sow on other kinds of grasses and
i clovers, with a top dressing of some fer
tilizer. If the cattle am fed oilnieal or
j other rich food, most of it goes to ferti
lize the land they graze on. Scatter the
I droppings of the cattle that no offensive
j bunches of tall grass may grow around
I them.
That high English authority, J. B.
I Lawes. says it is better not to feed young
. grass the first year. Heopioses mowing
i it the second year, having found from
. practice that this destroys the clovers
uud the lesser grasses by encouraging
the stronger species. Instead of mowing
; he feeds off the grass with cattle. He
prefers to sow a variety of grasses, leav
ing the bt to hold tlieir own. A pas
, tare cannot do much above ground until
after the formation of a large bulk of
roots Ulow. A pasture often falls off
after two or three years. This can lie
avoided by feeding the stock that graze
on it oilmeul or oilcake,

The wheel hoe depicted in the first cut
is an excellent little tool for the cultiva
tion of garden crops, eiiecially in a
small garden where it is hardly practica
ble to use h horse and cultivator, and
where vegetables are planted close to
gether, such as onions, etc. It is de
scribed as follows by the one who made
nil used it in the Ohio Farmer:
The wheel is elT of a mowing machine
ami is 8 inches in diameter. The axle is
N inches long. The cutter is a piece of a
buggy spring 26 inches long and about an
eighth of an inch thick and Wiita.s shown
m cut and attached to the handles (I inches
from axle. The two braces are each t
inches long and attached tothecnttei
about 2 inches above the band. Ther
are two holes in the end of each brace ami
also m each end of cutter to regulate
the depth. The handles are attached tc
the axle by two pieces of strap iron, and
a bolt through the axle lmlds the part
together tightly. It cost 60 cents foi
cutter, braces, bolts, etc.
With such an implement much work
can be accomplished, provided the soil

is just the way a garden should ulwayt

be. It should not be allowed to bnke.
No wheel hoe can be successfully used in
crusted soil. Work as soon after a rain
as the ground will crumble nietly.
In the second cut is shown a spud,
which isdescrilied by another Ohio Farm
er correspondent who has used it for IS
years to destroy burdocks. His farm was
overrun with that i st when he came in
possession, but now theyiirenearly wiped
out. By cutting them off below thf
crown they never sprout. He had a spud
made at that time in the following man
ner: He got a broken crosscut saw plate,
took it to a blacksmith, had it cut alniut
11 inches long and cut tajiering, the tor
of plate cut square across, and thejKiint
ed end cut a little rounding, as shown in
Fig. 1. Then he punched two J-ineb
holes, the first one about one inch from
upper end of spud and the other two oi
three inche below, according to thf
length of spud. Then he made it a littlt

concave, which gives it strength to resist
any pressure on the handle, which is cut
beveling, as shown in Fig. 2.
Any tough spade or fork handle will
answer the purpose. The handle must
lie riveted on the concave side of blade;
the head of rivet should le long and T
sluiH'd to bend over the handle to keel
it from splitting. He says: "I have n
large and Mmill spud. The latter ismadt
from a hand saw, plate about eight inchet
long and two inches at pointed end and
tHjiering, as shown in Fig. 1, made in
every way as the one described. My large

are thin, light and easily kept sharp."
Tha Vegetable (arU u.
The farmers who have made provision
for starting seeds under glass will have
the earliest and the lu st gardens. With
the aid of hotbed or cold frame, or both,
all the vegetables that will liear trans
planting (and most of them are all the
better for it) will be greatly advanced.
The garden ought to have a south oi
southeastern exposure and 1e well
drained. To produce best results there
should lie at least one foot of good, rich
soil. The practice of rotation is an im
portant matter in the vegetable garden.
As a rule, never let the same crop or
kind of vegetable occupy the same lied
or spot two years in succession. Pota
toes, onions and a few other things may
form an exception to this rule, but it is
nevertheless better to keep up the rota
tion. Every year these beds must be
warmed up by a lilieral coat of manure,
which should be thoroughly mixed with
the soil. (Jrow everything in drills or
straight lines. Larger crops from a given
surface are grown in this way, and culti
vation becomes simple and comparative
ly easy.
