SENORITA CISNEROS ESCAPE.
f, Watering Horace. -
In no other way do farm horses suf
fer so much as from being Inadequate
ly watered. They are compelled to
work steadily for five full hours each
half day In the broiling sun with no
water. The farmer Is very careful
when he goes to the field to see that his
Jug of drinking water Is not left be
hind, and he drinks often If the day la
hot. But It never enters bis head that
his horse ts a sweating animal, and In
proportion to his body has a smaller
stomach than a man, and needs as
large a supply of water and at as fre
quent Interval. Not only is It humane
to provide water for the horse, but It
pays. The sweating process Is a cool
ing one. Tbs Is nature's way of conn
teractlng the beat, and when water is
given In sufficient quantity to sustain
the sweat the horse can do more work
with safety. It Is but little trouble to
give a team a drink two or three times
each half Bay, and any man who will
try the experiment will never abandon
it. By providing a barrel on a log boat,
or even on a wagon, enough water can
be taken to the field to last two or three
days, and If the barrel Is a clean one
the water will keep In good condition.
With a pall the horses may be given a
drink a couple of times each half day.
No time need be lost, for It will take no
longer to give them a sip of water than
to sit on the plow handle while they
. are resting. There is another very great
advantage in this occasional watering.
When so watered the team on coming
to the stable may be allowed to drink
all they want without fear of bad re
sults, and the grain may be given so
as to give tbem plenty of time to eat It.
When not watered from morning until
noon it ia not safe to give drink until
they have stood and cooled off, and ev
ery one should know that It Is not the
best way to feed a horse before he has
drank. Oermantown Telegraph.
Painting Farm Machinery.
The wooden parts of all farm ma
chinery should be painted every three
or four years and the Iron parts that
are worn should have a coat of paint
every season, and the sooner after the
season's work la over the better. No
matter how well protected, the pol
ished metal portions will draw damp
ness and corrode. Some grease the
mold boards, shares, etc., but this does
more harm than good. The proper way
Is lo paint them. : -
Get five or six gallons of raw lluseed
oil. a gallon or two of white lead, a
mall box of Russian blue, a small box
of chrome yellow In paste form and ten
to fifteen pounds of Venetian red In
powder. For the wooden parte there la
nothing better than Venetian red and
raw Unseed oil. The mixture win make
a dark red. If a bright red Is preferred
mis some chrome yellow with It In the
proportion of fifteen parts of veuetlau
red to oue part of yellow. This makes
vermlllton, the brightest red known.
If blue Is wanted mix with white lead,
four parts, with one of Prussian blue.
This will give a dark blue, which can
be made aa light as wanted by addlug
white. Green la made by mixing yel
low and blue. Any of these colors will
answer tor the wooden portions of, the
machinery. Do not use any drier, as
the paint will last much longer without
It In winter a much longer time be
tween coats ts required for paint to
dry than la summer, but when It has
become solid It lasts much longer than
If It drlea rapidly.
Po not use white lead to palut metal
surfaces of any klud, for the acetic add
It opntalns will tend to corrode Niem.
For all this kind of work use venetlon
red and oil or get some of the commou
black paint sold especially for this
purpose. For the portions whlcu are
expected to scour, . wold boards, plow
shares and similar points, etc., use a
paint made as follows: Mix yellow
ochre with coal tar and thin to a work
ing consistency with turpentine. This
will effectually prevent rusting, but It
wlil rub off quite readily when the
plow Is to be used. Orange Judd
Farmer.
Eating Peaches.
It Is somewhat fortuuate that the
woolly coating on the shin of the peach
ts so objectionable to most iieople that
they remove It before beginning to eat
the fruit. It Is almost always the re
ceptacle of germs, which. If taken Into
the stomach under certain conditions,
are extreniely Injurious. Hence, when
ever the peaches are eaten raw the skin
should be removed, not alone because
its woolly covering Is unpleasant, but
still more because It Is uuhealtbful.
For still- stronger reasons peaches
should never be dried with their skins
on. In sucb case tbe number of germs
which a pound of dried peaches will
carry can hardly be estimated. Still,
if the stomach be entirely bealtby, any
number of germs taken Into It will do
no injury. Nobody can surely know
this of himself or herself. That some
can eat the peach, peeling and all.
without injury la no proof that ethers
can do so.

asserted that the young woman escaped
between 1 1 o'clock and midnight, Wed

THE TROUBLE IN GUATEMALA,
JIM AND JOHN.
Help for Threshing.
When threshing la done by steam
power, it Is tbe constant effort of those
who run these threshers to have the
work of threshing In each neighbor
hood hurried through in as short a sea-
son as possible. Their own expenses
are quite heavy, and the threshing
business will not pay unless they can
get steady work while the season lasts.
It Is the farmer's Interest, on tbe other
hand, to postpone grain threshing until
fall work is well out of the way. The
grain Is In better condition for thresh-
- Ing then, and, what Is quite as import
ant. It Is not so difficult to secure the
help needed. To keep a steady flow of
grain In tbe straw mow or stack to tbe
machine requires three, four or five
men, according to the distance the bun
dlea have to be pitched. All are needed
that can work without being In each
other's way. It Is the hardest work
that is now left to be done on the farm,
.and is also tbe dirtiest. There Is al
ways some nesting in tne mow or
stack, and this means some dust from
the partial decay of straw or chaff. The
men who go with threshing machines
get bigger wagee than tbey can at any
other farm work, and tbey fully earn
what they receive. Few people can go
through a Job of threshing without tak
ing cold and having throat and lungs
and nostrils greatly Irritated for sever
al days after. It Is under such condi
tions that tubercular consumption Is
most apt to begin. American Cultiva
tor.
If aha the Calves Gentle.
Much of tbe value of a cow depends
on her being gentle. There Is no way
to make sure of this except by accus
toming tbe belfer calf from the first to
be handled and petted so that she will
never fear man's presence as threaten
ing Injury. There Is another object In
this. By free handling of the heifer's
udders, both they and her teats will be
enlarged. This will also cause the milk
glands to develop, making the cow a
better milker all her life. .
Rye aa Hog Feed.
On light, sandy soil corn Is a very un
certain crop, and many seasons It will
not yield so much grain as a crop of rye
which usually succeeds . well - there.
We have known some farmers on sandy
land to grow rye to feed tbeir hogs. It
is excellent for growing pigs, but when
fattening time comes some corn should
be fed, even though Ik has to be pur
chased. 1
Burning a Clover Field.
I am decidedly In favor of burning
over my fields once In three or four
years, writes Waldo F. Brown, In Na
tional Stockman, as by so doing we kill
myriads of Insects aa well as tbe spores
of fungi, and there can usually be
enough stubble left on a Mammoth
clover field to do this. There to no crop
better to burn over than clover be
cause nitrogen Is the only thing Iqst,
as tbe phosphoric acid and potash are
made more quickly available by burn
ing, and aa the larger part of the nitro
gen generated or developed by the
clover Is stored in the roots there is
,Aisually enough of this Important ele
ment of plant food left after burning,
and as tbe atmosphere Is a great store
house of nitrogen, upon which we can
draw whenever we grow clover, I do
not mind burning a little of It. My
first experience In burning over a field
was more than forty years ago, and the
result was so satisfactory that I have
watched and experimented with it ever
since, and am convinced that it is,"good
farming" and scientific to do It The
heaviest yield of wheat grown In Ohio
of which I have any knowledge, an av
erage of fifty bushels per acre on a ten
acre field, was on a field of Mammoth
clover whicn was burned over before
plowing, simply because the owner
found It impossible to turn under the
mass of haulm on tbe land. I have
proven that burning will destroy the
cutworm and save the crop of corn
also. I would use Judgment In doing
this, and would not burn what I could
turn under on a soil lacking In humus,
but i recommend readers to carefully
xjuerUiiejit along this line and note re-; respecUvely,

San Francisco, Oct. 11. The steam
er City of Para arrived today from Cen
tral American ports, bringing the latest
news of the revolution in Uuatemala
prior to the receipt of the dispatches
concerning the capture of Queaalteu
ango by the government forces. While
those on board had not heard of tbe re
taking of Qnexalienango, they are for
the most part disinclined to accept the
news, aa tbey say that Barrios main
tained a strict censorship over both
press and telegraph.
Shortly before the City of Para left
Pan Jose de Guatemala, 10 days ago,
a conference of the Americans, English
and French consuls was held, as the
result of which they waited upon Presi
dent Barrios, and asked for informa
tion as to the use whioh he proposed to
make of the steamer City of Panama,
informing him that jt waa currently
rumored that lie intended to leave the
country. Barrios stated that he pro
posed to nse the vessel for the transpor
tation of troops, sud bad no intention
of abandoning his followers.
On September 29, Morales issued a
proclamation throughout the city oi
jGuatemala, offering to allow Barrios to
escape, in the hope of avoiding further
bloodshed, but the City of Para sailed
before Barrios' answer was made
public.
Consul-General Carrillo today re
ceived a dispacth to tbe effect that the
revolution was at an end, and that
Barrios was again in complete control
of the situation, which was confirmed
later on by private cables to prominent
business men who have large interests
in Guatemala.
