' The ignorance of Spain passes under standing, says the Chicago Times-Her ald. The proud Castillians ho prate about their "naticnds honor" have no adequate conception of America or the Alnericans. In a nation 68 per cent of irhich is illiterate, it is net strange that popular misapperbension should be en tertained concerning a foreign hation thousands of miles away; but it seems queer that the press and the publio leaders of Spain shonld be so woefully in the dark concerning American mat te;e. - ueneral Correa, the Spanish Minis ter of War, recently said: "The war will not be confined to Cuba. What is to hinder us from taking our army to .Ahe'United States so-me night and in resting-the capitol Si: Wvashington next day?

El Tempo prints this special dis patch from Havana: -Word has just bern received here that the Indians are rising against the Yan kees in Illinois, Ohio, and o-ther places. The farmers are petitioning the govern ment to protect them from the blcod-I thirsty savages, who are burninig houses and hilling on every side. Troops are asked for at Colorado. in the State of Denver and at St. Louis (San Luis) in Missipa. News is brought to us that Buffalo Bill, a notorious cutlaw and lender of a band of half-breeds, has risen against the American government and is burning towns near his birth place in New York. El Diario triahfully says: "It will no doubt surprise our readers to learn that the Yankee President, 3fagginly, is a naturalized Chinaman, having been! bain in Canton."

For ground food a mixture of 100 pounds of corn meah 100 hnLds of wheat brat and twenty-five pounds of til nieal has been found very satisfac tory. Oats may t"o substituted for the bran with good results; if the quantity of oil meal is slightly increased. Ground corn and oats mixed in equal proportions is not only a good fodd; but-a fattening one. To produce the best results in fattening sheep they sl'ould be regularly dipped during the period. Corn is a highly carbonaceous food and can only be fed to sheep with safety when given with bran or oil neal. With sach a ration they may be fed during the fattening period to their full capacity, which would beun safe with a ration wholly or mainly of corn. Washicu Trunks of Fruit Trees. TY the trunks of orchard trees, and es- cially young trees, show signs of the work of insect enemies, or are cov ered with a fungus growth, they should be cleansed. The best wash for the purpose is made by dissolving one pound of concentrated lye or potash, obtainable at any grocer's, in five gal lons of water, and applying with a stil broom. This solution is very strong; and while it will not injure the trees; it should not be allowed to come in contact with y->ur flesh or clothiig. The trunk of the hrae should be trashed thoroughly downward, apply. ing the wash also to the large branches within reach. This solutiont will kill borers and borers' eggs, which are apt to be concealed near the. surface of the ground. This wnshing of tree trunks may not be necessary, but the -ork-is .quickly and inexpensively done, and will do no harm. If there is the slightest suspicion of disease or insects, be on th.e safe side ahid apply this wash as directed. Manure For Strawberries. The strawberry plantation lequires very heavy manuring to produce its best yield. Every year on most plants there is a succession of berries, the first and second pickings being al most always larger and finer than those that ripen later. But if the later season is very wet, as it some times is. we have known the later crop to ripen up and be very nearly as good as the first. This suggests that in addition to the top dressing applied in winter there ought to be an additional fertilization, while the crop is formir.g, and this last ehould be al ways dissolved in water, so as to be readily available. Nitrate of p'otash is the best manure to be thus applied. This is saltpetre, and costs five to six cents per pound.. But a very small lump dissolved in warm water and ap plied freely will keep the vines fresh and vigorous to the last, and will make a grecat increase in the size of the fruit. The labor of applying liqjuid manure is more than its cost, and is gr-eater than can be generally afforded for any other crop than the strawberry. An Easy Way to Grow Tomnatoes. The usual method of raising tomato plants and fruit calls for mor-e worki and attention than the ordinary r-un of garden crops admjand. Sowing the seed early in hot-beds. the formation and care of which is a matter demand ing much daily attention to details. and the repeated transplanting of the young plants to render them stocky and vigorous. all this requires work. perhaps more work than many very busy people feel like attempting. While this'care and labor may be need ful for extr-a early tomato plants, which are to give early crops. yet it is en tirely unnecessary for r eguilar crops of delicious fruit. One can sow the seed directly in the open ground as scion as weather is suitable. or- vhat is still more easily done, throw all good specimens o.f the tomato (that become e!Teeted with rot or are br-uised in any way, aud so nna itt ed for sale) upon the ma.nur-e heap. These tomatoes fur-nish p)lenity of seed in the n:anur-e to give i v-olunteer crop of tomwato plants upon the corn or potato field upon which this same manure is used. Plenty of good. ripe. late tomatoes, as well as green ones, will thus be grown at pract-ically no cxpense. -3L1 Sumner Per hins.

If the roosts are given a coat of kerosene every month throughout the season, not a case of scaly legs will appear. As for ridding the premises of fleas, unless we knew the exact surround ings it would be rather difficult to suggest a means, as one that could be applied in the barn or outbuildings might not be r.greeable if used in the residence. A solution of crude carbolic acid sprayed over the ground and on the walls will drive them completely away, but if the residence is . infested with them. )oi-dered borax will perhips be the most effectual i-emedy. Keep the dogs; hogs and sheep away from the barn, as it is absolutely impossible to have them there without having fleas. -Home and Farm. N'en Facts About tin Old Foe.

Late spraying with paris green and bordeaux mixture com bined. -%ith whale-oil soap or with lead acetate and sodium arsenite, is safe and does some good. Scraping the bark and tacking paper bands arouud the trunk when the larve are 1pupating will catch many. Screens in the cellar windows in spring will con fine the moths which went in with the apples as larvmr in the fall. I suggest that you spray thoroughly with paris green within a week after the blossoms fall, before the calyx closes. Try kerosene emulsion when the eggs are being laid upon the leaves, about the first week in June. If this fails, use paris green combined with bordeaux mixture instead. Keep the trees smooth and use paper bands 'around the trunk v:hen the larvo are ready ta. pn.pste, about the last week - in June. Remove and kill the larvo one or two weeks later. Place bands on again the last week~ in August. Leave them until the-apples are out of the orchard, then gatheH-them up and destroy t'.ie larvo. Get the balance in spring by screens over the cellar doors and windows. Observe for yourfl how many of these precautions you chu omit. -Professor F. W. Cardaio .the Nebraska Experiment Station. The Short Check Rein. To keep a horse from puttinig his heal down and eating or trying to find something to cat--for, no difer ence how well the horse is fed, when1 he is harnessed and taken oat he is ready for a bite of grass if attainable, and that is not always pleasant-the check-rein is the resort, though many times when using a team on the road 'the check-reins area dispensed with. I prefer the side checks, as they are far more agreeable to the horse and will even better prevent the horse from putting its bead to the ground than the over-check when both are loosely use d. The over-check weaLrs off the mane, presses down on the head and helps to keen it hot and sometimes makes sore places and m.ars the horse's face. But the over-check may do if it is long enough and does not have a separate b:it for it. Some horses are so physically con stuted with the neck high up on the shoulders that their head is high enough without a check-rein, while othecrs may have a low neck and not carry the head well up, an.l no amount of cheek-rein:s will add anly grace to their miovem1ents or beauty to their carrlage. To see a horse's head dr-awn up out of its natural position looks outlan dish, at times the hot sun blazing down in their eves so they cannot well see where th-ey arec going, and they travel high, so:nething after the style of a blind hor-se, and they soon ge to traveling heavy: then their sp'ring. activity and elasticity are fast leavingi them. A horse with a short c.heck.-ein is incariably a slow walker and doesn't enre to trot unless urged-audl who can blame hilm?--and yet~ J have often noticoa that all the short check reins don't belong to the ungodly.
