SECRECY ABQUT FEDERAL PLAN Measures for Protection of Americans in Chihuahua Undertaken. Ortiz, Mexico, J une {39.-Intricate manoeuvres about which the greatest secrecy 1B maintained aro In progress under the direction bf Gen. Huerta, who, if successful, may squelch the Mexican rnvnlution within a wee':. .yVith the entire rebel army fortl fletjl at Bachlmba, 15 miles north or here, the government strategists have mapped out a plan to prevent a get away by tho rebels. Whether the telling blow will be delivered on flank movements or a rear attack at a point between Bachlmba and tho city of Chihuahua cannot bo stated positive ly to-day, hut It ls certain that there will be no fighting for at least three days. This time Is needed to give the various detachments an opportu nity to assume designated positions. Ruse Puzzles Rebels. Bachlmba, Mexico, June 20-What apfiears to have been a ruse on the part of tho Federals puzzled tho rebel leaders for a time to-day. Instead of advancing from Ortiz, when the big bridge was completed, the Fede ral columns adopted a dilatory course, moving troop trains hack and forth as if experiencing difficulty lu bringing their artillery ahead. A whole day was lost in this way while the rebels hero patiently waited the attack. The Federals appear to bo playing for time, and In order to engage them, Gen. Fernandez, with 400 men, was sent out of Bachlmba and probably will encounter the Federal outposts, numbering 800, skirmish ing being hourly expected. American Flag Hoisted. Chihuahua. Mexico, Juno 2!)-Pre cautionary measures have been taken here to prevent disorder after the ex pected battle. All Americans have arranged to gather in one place in case disorders prevail here. The American flag will be raised and the American consul will be In charge. WILL GET TEN FOR ONE. Denjocrats Playing "Puss in the Cor ' ncr," Says Teddy. Oyster Bay, N.

Cotton (.nods Market Firm. ?New York, Juno 3Q.-Tho cotton grinds markets have boon firm and steady all through the week past and tho half year of tho jobbers closed with values well maintained. This condition ls In striking contrast with that of a year ago, and is regarded as notwoithy because firmness has como while Presidential conventions have boon in session. Fundamentally the cotton goods markets aro In a sound position, as many mills have cotnracts that will carry them through the summer if further trade is done, and produc tion is rest-icted because of tho diffi culty of securing sufficient hoi p. CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.f? --^ '* M-A Preserving Fruit? apM Vegetables for Ex Iii bit Purposes. To preserve fruit and vegetables for exhibition In order that they may appear in their natural condition Is a process little unuerstood by the majority of people. Howover, if one has the time and inclination to take tho proper precautions, very little difficulty will be experienced in pre paring the fruit. Success Hes in the proper selection of specimens for preservation. As much, If not more, deuends upon the selection and pro per handling of the fruit and vege tables than upon the formula, used. Never allow specimens to become fully mature, and, to meet with the best success, they should be placed in the presorvln Ruled fully two days before thoroughly ripened. Tho fruits selected should he in the best possible condition and without blem ish of any kind. After washing in clear, cold water to remove all dust, dirt, spores, or other foreign matter, place carefully In the receiving jar. Avoid handling the specimens any moro than is really necessary. After filling the jar as full as possible without bruising the fruit, the liquid should be poured iii. Some writers recommend straining the liquid through several layers of cheese cloth. Tills Is a good plan. Make the lid air tight and place In a dark room at a temperature of HO to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Tho jars should be examined every few days, and if found fermenting the liquid should be removed, the fruit rinsed, and new liquid used, varying the pro portion of chemicals. The following formulas have been used quite successfully in preparing fruit for exhibition: 1. To vegetables, such aa squashes, cucumbers, onions, dissolve one pint of pure, clean table salt In every gal lon of water used. Allow this solu tion to stand twelve hours then strain through Bevern] layers of cheese cloth and pour over vegetables. 2. For strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and currants use clear water-white kerosene, but bo sure that no water remains on the berries. 3. For pears, peaches and plums use one quart of glucose and one-half ounce of formaldehyde to every gal lon of water. 4. For apples use one and a half ounces of formaldehyde to every gal lon of water. 6. For fruit in general uso one pint of glycerine, five ounces pow dered borax to every gallon of water, then after fifteen days add two ounces formaldehyde to each gallon for dark fruits, and two ounces of sulphurous acid to all light colored fruits.

Even now In rome fields th? rod pider is beginning to do its damage, ! and thi? will becojnO mo/c- evident .s our warbuM dud d:ier summer , weather comes m. 'fbi! da mano ? au | . bo roeognlx.bd bj thc reddish discolor- i allon of the leaf of the plant infested, beginning at the base of the leaf where the stem ls attached and spreading out over the entire leaf. Different from the damage done by what is known as "cotton rust," thc leaves affected hy the red spider shrivel and drop off. Tho so-called red spider is not a spider at all. but a little red mite, which cuts into the leaf and sucks the sap out of the plant. Infestation will he observed to be gin usually near tho edge of the field. This ls due to tho fact that the spi ders pass through tho winter on green vegetation, such as we com monly find about tho edges ol' fields and along aitch banks. When tho cotton has become well started they wander on to this and begin to spread. They lay numbers of red dish colored eggs on tho under sur lace of the leaf, and spin over these a find web to hold themselves to the leaf while at work and to protect their young. Various agencies, snell as the plow going through tho field, a s'ray dog, or tho wind, distribute the pests for a distance often of many yards. Prom these facts lt can be clearly soon that a good remedy for the rod spider ls a preventive one-to keep down by fall turning of the land the green weeds common about the edges of the field. The next precaution to observe is not to let the pest get the start. Spray the infested area with a ono per cent lime-sulphur solution. Make up tho same kind of solution you used for a winter spray for the seale on your peach and tipple trees and dilute this about twelve limes. If you do not recall how to make this solution, full information will be furnished upon request by the Divis ion of Entomology, Clemson Col lege. If you have tho commercial lime-sulphur solution, dilute 00 parts to one of tho solution. Apply this with a spray pump with Vermorel or misty nozzle, producing a fine mist and get this to cover the under side of tho leaves thoroughly. Should a spray pump not be available, use an old broom or something of this type and attempt tho same thing. If these stops aro taken as soon as the form begins to spread, lt ls a comparatively easy matter for a fanner in lils early Benson to treat a whole acre evin with a good bnrrol spray pump. The red sjilder will bo noted as of much more damage during dry weather than when we have plenty of rain; and often, though nor always, a good.' heavy shower is better than any remedial measure man can apply.
