The drei step when Intending to fumigate la to have a light crib. This may he accomplished in several ways. A permanent arrangement would be to have the crib scaled Carefully on the inside. Many farjpl ors In emergencies have tightened the crib on the Inside by papering it. The fumigating dose is 7 pounds to 1,00(1 cubie feel <>i .space. Begin? ning at the back Of the crib, sprinkle' the liquid as unformly as possible i over the surface of the corn or other grain to be fumigated.

Washington, Nov. lo.?The ulti? matum of the Mexican convention of Agua8calicntcs ordering Gen. Car rtza to deliver the executive power in Mexico to Bulalio Outlerres expir? ed at <; o'clock tonight. Neither tue State department nor the Mexican end a : y here, in charge of Carraiuca agents, had definite advices as tu what had occurred. ESorly in the day Ra? fael SSuburan, Carunsa'a Washington representative*, received a telegram from Luis Cabrera, saying Carranss had de. ided to rocog n i/.e the acts of the convention with certain reserva? tions. Carransa, according to Ca? re ra, told the commission that notified him of tlie selection of Gutierrez that ho would yield the executive power to a provisional president who would exercise no theoretical but actual control of the division of the north. now commanded by Gen. Villa. The convention had formally noti? fied Carransa that it intended to ad? minister the oath of office to Gutier? rez, as provisional president tonight and that any one who did not recog? nize him would he considered as in revolution against the oonatltutuod Mexican government. If necessary Immediate hostilities will begin t .'gainst Carranza's forces to enforce the convention's will. There was a. feeling in administra? tion circles that Carransa eventually Iwould yield, being unwilling to plunge Mexico into another revolution. This was based, however, more on previous intimations in officials' reports as to Carranza's desire for peace than on I any direct advices today. no i t:\it con ships. Navy Department, I! ?wever.
