Miss Hattie Snow returned to

visit with her parents at Hershey,

It is stated that a week or ten
days more will complete the work

will be ready for business. L
A few cars of gravel with which
to fill in between the main line
and side track were unloaded Her

Several cars have been loaded
with baled hay at Nichols this week.
Charles Toillion is now a full

tert at Hershey recently.
The Hershey Maccabee goat has

effect

layed farming to some extent for a
couple of days.

Arrangements for the
wedding
ot the Princess Alexandra of
Co-
burg and Princess Maud of Wales
are now almost complete. The
wedding of the former with Prince
Hohenlohe-Langenberg will take
place April 20 at Coburg, and will
be in full state, but-the Queen will
not be present. Her majesty will
be represented be one of her sons.
Princess Maud of Wales' wedding
to Prince Charles of Denmark will
take place in the early part of July
at the Chapel Royal, St. James'
Palace, and will tje a quiet affair.
The Queen will be present, but there
will not be any state procession
through the streets. The ceremony
will be similar to that of the
Duchess of Fife.
The dispatches from Havana, as
revised by the censors, report a
shooliug of 'one insurgent leader
under sentence of court-martial and
the garroting- of other, not as pris
oners of war, but as bandits. This
is the beginning- of a bad business.
If Cuban prisoners are to be shot
at the pleasure of the Spaniards
then the Spaniards may be shot at
the pleasures of the Cubans. If
the rules of war are not to govern
one side it is not to be expected
that they will govern the other.
Barbarism follows.
The recent speech of Samuel
Smith of Flintshire in the British
Honse of Commons doubtless ex
presses the feeling- of most English
men. He said that the restoration
ot a cordial understanding with
America was ten thousand times
more important than the Schom
burgk line or any other line between
Venezuela and British Guiana.
He urged the arbitration of the dis
agreement, ajid suggested that one
of theUnited States Supreme Court
Judges be selected to represent
Great Britan.
WHAT WILL THEY SOI
Editor Tribune: The reverses
'of the past five years have taught
certain lessons; but the question
rises, will our farmers avail them
selves of the benefit thus jriven
them, or will they follow in the foot
steps of their predecessors that had
these lessons to learn, or follow old
Jines that have brought so manv
disasters to the experimentalist of
the past who have endeavored to
compel stubborn nature to bend to
their theories? Will. they continue
to bet and gamble on hoped-for rain
falls, knowing that they must acr
cept nature's dictations?
These are serious questions for
those engaged in agriculture to con
siaer. it is not necessary tor our
upland farmer to abandon their
farms and move down on to the
bottom lands where irrigation is
carried on by the means of canals.
By means of the. new improved
methods of soil culture now com
mon in the sub-arid portions of Cal
ifornia and other sub-arid states.
crops can be grown successfully
even with our limited rainfall.
The method now recommended
by those that have both practiced
and followed these systems adapted
o partially dry regions are for
subsoiling the lauds to the depth
of sixteen to twenty inches everv
three or four years. Then in the
cultivation of crops to follow this
up by endeavoring to conserve all
he rainfall and allow it to become
absorbed into the soil. Shallow
and frequent cultivation of crops is
now generally followed in those
parts of California that has a cli
mate and rainfall similar to ours.
hat region to follow
up the rainfall and showers with
cultivation as rapidly as possible.
All that is required is to break the
crust that has been created by the
packing and plasterinsr effects of
the rain in order to prevent the
steaming and scalding effects that
follow if the latent heat in the earth
is not allowed to escape through
the surface. The theory now ad
vanced is that this heat or steam
thus generated and held uhdefflie
crust formed by the rains, girdles
the plants with a ring of burnt or
baked vegetable tissue and
the
effect on a stalk of rye. wheat, oats
or corn has precisely the same effect
that a hot wire would have "around
the trunk ot a tree. The tree might
live but it would become seriously
damaged. So in order to prevent
girdling of the stocks of grain they
harrow their small grain with their
sixteen-foot harrows with the round
teeth reversed and thrown back so
as not to tear up the plan ts. Their
methods are valuable where crops
have been hailed down, as the gird
ling has been found more injurious
than the hail.
The same method is adopted with
corn culture. In place of the shovels
that go down into the soil and throw
up a large quantity of damp earth
that loses its moisture very rapidh
a block of round reversable harrow
teeth are attached to the plow
beams of the cultivator that rapidly
and easity break the crust that has
been formed by the pattering of the
rain or beating of the hail. The
excess of heat is thus liberated and
a mulch of lose earth is formed that
prevents evaporation. By this
method the damagedone by hail is
frequently overcome; all the moist
ure is held in the soil for the use of
the plants and excess of heat is not
created in the earth about the roots
of the growing- crops which tends
to check the growth of all our agri
cultural plants. This is an im
portant question with our farmers.
Will they adopt the methods of
plowing, planting- and soil culture
adapted to this section ot America,
or will they risk their prosperity
on theories that were practical and
beneficial in Illinois or Ohio, but
are in every way hazardous and im
practical here. What they will do
is a serious matter with all of us.

Piatt is understood to desire to
throw the New York vote to Reed
after Morton drops out. but the
McKinley strength in the state is
so great that the boss stands a
poor chance of holding away from
the Ohio man five-sixths or nine
tenths of the delegation which he
controls at the beginning of the
convention. Apparently a major
ity of the New York delegates thus
far committed to Morton have
McKinley for a second choice.
When the break comes the bosses
who get in the way of the avalanche
are crushed.
