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 An indemnity of $100,000 was at first lc ininiledj but this demand was withdrawn pending the arrival of tWe next French mail.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. Salti, a Sardinian city, lias no po lice, no clergymen, no dixitor, no chaHl.

There is a knack about making straight lines and even furrows natural to some plowers. but not easily acimireil by the average hired man, mid the gar dener, if lie desires to have the work done well, must do it himself or instruct his men how to do it. Suppose wo haven strip of land to plow of the shnjH' here shown Hi'd situated between strips of """ SAMI'LK OK KAI I.TV IM.OWINd. 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, HOMIMADE IMPLEMENTS. A Whrel Hm For a Small O.ardrn-Spnd Fur britrovlng Ilurdorha. 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 be free from stones or rubbish, ami thu is just the way a garden should ulwayt A rONVKNICST WHKIX 1KE. 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 I IIANM.E ASK Srri) COMH.CTE. 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 one 1 use for spading in the garden. They 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. riruru-iHMMimnnia In ('aiiaila. It has been officially declared by the authorities of (treat Britain that con tagious plcuro-pneumonia exists in the Dominion of Canada. With a view to protecting the stock interests of the United States the secretary of agricul ture has ordered that all cattle to lie im ported from Canada into the United States be made subject to the same con ditions arid requirements as if they were imported iuto the United States from (treat Britain or the continent of Europe. It is also ordered by Secretary Itusk that all neat cattle imported from the Do minion of Canada must lie entered at the iHirt of Buffalo, which is distin guished as a quarantine station.
