FIRST PROTOCOL SIGNED NO MENTION OF HUERTA AS PRO- ? VISIONAL PRESIDENT. c Mediators Will Not Officially Admit c Carranza Delegates Unless Tliey Agree to Armistice. . r Niagare. Falls, Ont., June 12.?! Delegates from the United States and ; the Huerta Government to-day for-: mally affixed their signatures in the | nresence of the mediating represen tatives of Argentine, Brazil and Chile, j 1 to the first protocol of the series through which it is hoped to restore c peace in Mexico. The agreement as to the manner of transferring executive power from Huerta to the new 3 \ provisional government stood the ac^d test of reduction to writing. It pro- C vides that: A government is to be constituted ^ in Mexico of a character to be later < provided, which shall be recognized r by the United States on (date to be c fixed) and which from that day for- *' ~wfcrd shall exercise public functions ^ X until there shall be inaugurated a 1 constitutional President. Jhe brief protocol was significant ^ in two things: It makes no mention of Gen. Huer- * ta as the provisional President, and t as stated in Associated Press dis- ? patches last night, it omits the meth- c - ^ x ATavipowi ^ OU oi iraiiMci, ?uivu iuu delegates and mediators suggested a and to which the United States ob- r jected on the ground that its reten- ^ tion would be tantamount to recog- ' nition of the existing regime. c Mexicans Satisfied. The Mexican delegates, while aban- 1 doning the constitutional form of ^ succession 4 as part of the protocol, E are satisfied because it does not spe- t cifically deny Huerta's right to name as minister of foreign affairs the man 11 chosen here for provisional Presi- ^ dent, if the latter sees fit to accept b designation from him. It is not con- s sidered probable, however, that the 1 new provisional President, who is Jl > likely to be a Constitutionalist, would s take the executive power directly from Huerta, but he might do so s from some other individual, whom t Huerta might leave in authority. All parties are now concentrating t on the second part of the peace plan, f which relates to the name of the Provisipnal President and possibly a will include his Cabinet of four. ^ What Uncle Sam Wants. Though the protocol is of com- n phratively few words it is the em- t ... ^ _ o bodiment of that tor wnicn me United States has been striving for n more than a year?elimination of * Huerta. With Huerta's formal state- 0 ment of his intention to withdraw i i when Mexico was politically pacified, to-day's protocol takes for granted h that such a pacification will occur and arranges for the transition. The question of Constitutionalist b representation here is still an open one. The mediators say they will p not officially admit the Carranza dele- e gates unless they agree to an armistice. It is not doubted though that * some way may be found for the Con- b stitutionalists to participate in the ^ peace parleys after they arrive. c Members of the mediating colony a to-night were united in optimistic n spirit for the first time since the con- 13 ferences opened. With one block r firmiv in nlara. everv one ^ was hopeful that the work done toaay will prove to be the solid corner- s stone from which the entire struc- e ture of the peace plan will rapidly f arise. a -? t A Queer Chicken. o if Mrs. Gray McKay has quite a curi- s osity in her poultry yard in the way of t a chicken 4 weeks old, or perhaps t more. It was hatched off with a brood a of eight and had four legs and four i, well formed feet. We don't mean to b tell you that this chicken walks with c all four feet; he only uses two, but he carries the others along with him, e and I guess if he should get one leg a > broken, he would use one of those ex- 0 tra pair. Mrs. McKay does not ad- E vance this idea about his extra limbs, a but we noted the way he carries his j, pair along, and it made us think of j( the automobilist who carries an extra t tire along in case of a break-down. c We can imagine Mr. Chicken must ? be carrying the extra pair of feet for v fear he will get run over by a wagon t or mule. The chicken is a perfectly a ** normal looking fellow. This is the -y first chicken we ever heard of having j. * four feet and while we have heard of them being hatched off with three ^ feet, they would live only a few days, f ?Bingham correspondent of the j Dillion Herald. a A Kitten Saved a Family. . * a v ' The family of Louis Wolff escaped asphyxiation when an Angora kitten c awakened the almost prostrated a . sleepers.?Chicago Tribune.

Regarding even so simple a matter V is when should the cultivation of otton and corn be stopped, there vill be considerable difference of )pinion. 0 The principal purposes supposed to h >e served by cultivation are the keep- g ng down of weeds and the saving of ri noisture for the use of the growing o rop by preventing its evaporation T roni the surface of the soil. These t( onstitute the essential purposes of ft ultivation and are supposed to favor tl he increased growth and production n kf tho f>rnn W >y 01 tne cotton auu cum wupo >>o.o ^ tot an unmixed evil so long as the urning plow was used with which to ?< ay the crops by. Nor is the early aying-by of a crop to be entirely t liscouraged, if the late cultivations >reak so many roots that the plants ^ uffer more for lack of moisture than tj hey would if a few weeds were alowed to grow and the crust on the urface was not broken. If, however, cultivation of the right _ VV ort is given it should be kept up un- . il the plants have nearly completed cj heir development or as Jiear to that a ime as the increase in crop will pay gl or the cost of the cultivation. ^ It is safe to state that our crops re generally laid-by earlier than is est and most profitable, provided the ^ ate cultivations are given in a proper aanner. The common belief that culivating a crop too late in the period f its growth is often injurious is al- ^ aost certainly due to the fact that ai hese late cultivations have not been r< f the right sort. It is, therefore, apparent that t( when" and "how" the crop is laid-by . IE ave a very direct and intimate re- ^ ationship. In the first place, let us ^ ay down a rule that the crop should ^ e laid-by with the ground as nearly h evel as practicable and with an im- ^ lenient that does not run deep nough to largely injure the root sysem. Judging from the methods praciced, this rule will not be accepted y the average farmer. A large num- c, er of farmers do not lay-by the rops with the surface of the ground nywhere near level, and a smaller umber, but still a very considerable ^ umber, lay-by with, implements that un deep enough to play havoc with he root system of the plants. It seems necessary, in order to asure a stand of early-planted cotton, specially on lands not well or perectly drained, to plant on at least slight bed, and we know of no sys- ' em of cultivation which will enable q ne to lay a crop by on the level that s planted on a bed. In fact, any ystem of cultivation tends to make he bed higher instead of lower and, ^ herefore, crops are not going to be, ^ T>,-l <-*or>'+ Vio loid.hr nn the* lovol ei UU V.au L ? V* ^ ong as they are planted on raised ^ eds. Our rule, then, is to lay-by the rop as nearly level as practicable. We think it just as certain that an n, arly-planted crop comes up better jj( nd grows off more rapidly if planted fl, in a bed, so long as it has sufficient 0J oisture, as it is that one year with ^ nother the crops will do better the p] atter part of the season if cultivated _ evel. But the two practices are anagonistic, because when you plant a rop above the level you cannot ring it down by any system of culti- Si ation; hence, we would compromise he proposition and plant on as low Si l bed as practicable and then culti'ate and lay-by as nearly level as H ossible under the conditions. We think that as a general rule it rill pay to cutlivate a crop until the Si ruiting season is completed, if there s serious danger of it suffering from F i lack of moisture; but that these ate cultivations should be shallow A ind the surface of the around should >e left as nearly level as the method S >f planting will permit. If the crops ire not laid-bv in this way there is S nuch to be said in favor of laying by ?arlv. It saves a lot of hard work in F lot weather and often saves the crop rom. destruction. While this is true, T t is not an argument for laying by iarly; but one against laying by in he wrong way?Progressive Farmer. If those were the only effects 01 C ultivating a crop, there could be lit- w le difference of opinion as to when w l crop should be laid-by The answer vould plainly be. when the crop has 1 :ompleted its growth. w But there are often considerations: t( ["he cost of a cultivation, late in the growth of a crop, might easily be n nore than the value of the increased 1)1 rop because of said cultivation. ^ ^gain, since the cultivation may be ^ ;iven in such a way as to produce SJ lositive injury, the crop should be aid-by before such a cultivation is ;iven. The writer is quite certain that he tj tas seen corn and cotton given a cul- C{ ivation that should never have been ;iven. In short, a cultivation that uts too many roots when corn is etting its ears, or when in bloom, or ^ .t any other time during the latter >art of its growth, may easily be a ^ lositive damage instead of a benefit. 03 L cultivation might also cut enough ^ otton roots, or possibly might break ^ nough limbs, to render it an injury nstead of a benefit.

W-- J ? - sle, pastor of the Buncombe Street lethodist church of this city, and tie of the leaders of the South Carna Conference, challenges the right f Mr. Nettles to again assume editoraip of the Advocate. He asks by hose appointment and by what aulority Mr. Nettles has resumed the uties. He declares the resolution ' Conference shut him off from again ssuming such duties. And adds: It is a high handed action on the art of the board of managers to try > force you again on an unwilling anstituency." He declares that even le bishop cannot'appoint Mr. Netes editor. The letter is expected to reate a sensation in Methodist cires.?Greenville Dispatch. All of which goes to confirm the ell known doctrine of most genule newspaper men that everybody innot make a newspaper, and no tan can make a newspaper that will lit everybody. The Advocate has [ways been a bone of contention in le Methodist Church. When the iitor was a real editor who under;ood that he must write and edit ccording to his own. judgment ithout submitting to the dictation r influence of anybody, other peole have made rows one after another ad made common cause against the ^calcitrant editor until he was oversown.

There re other useful denominational apers but so far as we know, not Qe tnat exists pureiy on us uiems. f course we have no interest in this uarrel over the control of the Adocate, and have nothing to say about le merits of Mr. Nettles; but in our ldgment he has done more for the dvocate from a material and finanal standpoint, to say the least of it, lan any other editor who has ever ad it in charge. And if the Advoite were a secular instead of a deominational paper, we would not esitate to say that the power and inuence which Mr. Nettles has develaed by reason of his editorial abili' and business management is the rinciple reason of the present row. -Yorkville Enquirer.
