I<:i Paso, Texas, .Mardi fi.-Gen. Luis Terrazas thia afternoon appeal ed to Marion Hotelier, American con sul at Chihuahua, now in tliis city awaiting instructions, to save his son. whose life lias been made the forfeii ii KOO,OOO pesos ransom money is not paid over to Gen. Franelsco"Vllla, the rebel leader. Consul Letchcr declared himself deeply mosed by the appeal of thc octogenarian head of the great Mexi can family, whose wide possessions have been confiscated by the Consti tutionalists, but he had to reply that he was helpless in 'he matter. "I am 80 vears old and neither life nor molloy mean much to me." said Gen. Terrazas, with a ,emor In his voice. "My son. Luis, has 13 children and they need him. 1 would gladly return to Chihuahua and Villa could kill me instead of my son." While Gen. Terrazas did not say as lunch, the interview left the im pression that he is not now in pos session of the sum demanded. Luis, the son. is about 50 years old and for several months has beeil held prison er by t he rebels. At the time of his arrest tho rebels demanded $650,000 gold as the price of his life. This sum was slow In being paid and Luis was taken out and a noose adjusted about his neck. Then he was gently hoisted from his feet. The torture was repeated until he signaled thal lie would pay the slim demanded all that he had in th.e Chihuahua bank. After 'his incident he was removed from the palace where he had been conlined and allowed to Uve under guard with his family in one of his father's houses. Women relatives some time later appealed lo Villa lo release him. bul Villa was adamant. "ll the Cinetiflcoa had Pancho Vil la a prisoner in the same circum stances, do you think he would be restrained in a palace and treated ; with the consideration I have shown Don Luis"" Villa replied. "No; Pancho Villa's head would have been placed on a spike and pa roled about the city. The Terrazas ? family has accumulated its great wealth through oppression of the people and now the people demand reparation." Seemed Much Klinken. Cen. Terrazas lett Consul Letchor's room and appeared In tho hotel lobby visibly shaken. His beard is white: and his Uguie below the medium. He walks with a cane, but erectly. Ile was surrounded by friends and relatives on whose laces anxiety for the son and pity for the father were plainly written. A personal appeal to Secretary Bryan was suggested, but the old man only shook his head. The ap peal, however, maj be made, unless it is possible to raise the ransom money. The great hulk of the Ter- i razas fortune, formerly estimated at $10.000,001) gold, was tide; up hy the confiscation order and most of the money available in foreign countries has been spent in the last three years. lt was said to-night that tho most serious obstacle in the way of a set- | tientent of the matter ls Villa's re fusal to allow Hon Luis to leave Mex ico after the money is paid. (Jen. Terrazas in replying to Villa made payment of the money contin gent on his son being brought to the centre of the international bridge here while the sum was changing hands. Phis Villa flatly declined to do. den. Terrazas regards any other ar rangements as folly, as his son. doubl less, lie thinks, would be used morely as a means of further extt r I ion. Villa's messenger lo Gen. Terrazas said the money lillis! be paid within five days or Don Lui- will be killed. The five days will expire to-morrow, but it is though) by refugees that Villa's desire for i lie money, despite his enmity towards the Terrazas fam ily, will persuade him to delay ex treme measures pending further ne gotiations, which were suggested to him in telegrams to-day. liest Pa in ?ly Laxative.

You're conquered now for good. You've got to go, and tnko your uric acid and your torture with you. Don't worry, good sufferer, we'v? got your old enemy now right where you ?Cooil nye, Obi ItliounintlMni, i've Con Eggs ( li?t Never Hutch, This is the kind to bo avoided in selecting c.nus for our sitters. The hatching season is here, and early chickens are valuable, and so every eec, we put under the lien, or in the incubator should have strong fertility and more than an equal (banco of hatching. lt often happens that the stock is so inbred that the fertility is weak, and a large per cent of t ho eggs will not hatch. This evil can be over come by introducing roosters not akin to the hens in the breeding docks. lO'^us from inactive and over-fatted hens are always weak, and many are not suitable for setting. The way to help this is to feed the hens less, and make them exercise in scratching for what they ?et to eat. In fact, this i.-* one of the greatest evils of the fan cier's stock-it is jiatnpored and fed too much to be in a good, active and healthy condition. Old eggs, and eggs that have been lying in the same position are largely infertile. In such eggs the air cham ber is very large, which indicates their inferior condition. The way to avoid such is to inspect each egg carefully, holding it between the thumb and fore lin ier close to a strong light, and rejecting all in which the air chamber is larger than a dime, for fresh, sound eggs have a small air chamber in the big end of t hem. Again eggs from hens infested with mites and other parasites hatch poorly, because the hens aro feverish and <-cstl"ss. Such hens do not lay many eggs. A fat, over-weigh! rooster in a mat ing will (tinse a largo number of in fertile eggs. The male bird should abo be forced to work for bis living so as lo keep him in good condition. Finding a new nest of eggs and setting .In n is taking chances, un less iho> are properly tested, for the (hames lire some of them are too old to hatch well. * * * * Sweet Potatoes. I have about three acres of new land that I am thinking of planting in sweei potatoes, hut 1 am told that the land is too rich, and that the po tatoes will crack and mold and not keep well, and have been advised to use old. thin land, with 200 or 300 pounds of commercial fertilizer an acre. What causes the potatoes to crack, and what do yon know of the Farly Triumph potato? If yon will give the new land about ."?nu pounds of acid phosphate an acre in the furrows and bed on that, you can make good pettitoes, as this will balance the nitrogen in the soil. If you plant the old. thin land, do not stop with 200 to 300 pounds of fer tilizer, but be liberal with it. (Jive it about 500 to 600 pounds of a fer tilizer running 2-8-10, and you will make potatoes. Or you can come near enough to this by mixing 1,000 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate, 400 pounds of sulphate of potash. 3r>o pounds cotton seed meal, and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda. + * * * Hon'l Sell the Pea Hay. ls there a good demand for baled pea vine hay, and what, is the average price per ton? There may be a demand in some sections for baled pea vine hay, but the farmer who halos and sells pea vine hay is selling the fertility of his soil too fast. You can never improve land bj mendy GROWING pens on it. In fad you can run bind down as fast by sidling pea hay as in my way I know. To Improve your soil with peas you must use them on the land either as manure direct, or what ls better, by feeding the hay to stock and saving the manure. And you save the baling, too. Forage is one thing that a good farmer should nev er Bell. There is no more difficulty, 1 ap prehend, in curing pea hay in your section than elsewhere. In fact, it ls easy to cure it anywhere if you sim ply Iel it cure as 1 have often de scribed, and do nol go to using, sta'.es. scaffolds or other contriv ances to spoil it. (?row the pea hay and use it and improve your land, bur do not bale it. as von may be tempted to sell it. * * * * Redding Sweet Potatoes. "How many thousand plants will each bushel of sweet potatoes pro duce? Mow many square feet will the bushel bed?

A small one will make as many sprouts as a large one and will take less room, and t itere will be more in a bushel.
