SPANISH EXECUTION.
A utian InmirRpiit lft Hla Ilrath
llrMTfly.
Xew York, April 22. A Journal
dispatch from Havana says:
Pedro (tarcia, who was shot yester
day for rebellion, was arrested in his
father's house on suspicion of bcinj; a
rebel. After six months of imprison
ment, his turn dually came to bo tried
a week it'o. He was taken before a
summary court. The entire coiirt-inar-tial
lasted alsitit fifteen minutes, and
(tarcia was sentenced to death, al
though us is customary, they did not
read the death sentence until last
niht, twelve hours liefore he was shot.
Promptly at 7 o'clock last lii:ht a
picket of soldiers halted in front of the
cell. The captain in charp- of the
prisoner called "Pedro Garcia."
"Present," was the answer.
"Prepare to come out," said the
captain.
"Open," replied Garcia; "I am
ready." He s.ke as cooly as if he
had been liiufi out to sup with a
friend instead of "captlla."
Theie was an ominous rattling of
keys, the sliding of heavy bolts and
then the ikukIitous iron swung slowly
open.
"Farewell to all," said Garcia.
"Farewell, and courage," exclaimed
his comrades, with husky voices.
Garcia paused in the passage and
called back: "At last I will gain lib
erty." He never weakened, and ho aston
ished his executioners by his coolness.
The four executioners were bad
marksmen, and it was necessary for
them to lire three volleys.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Oownlng. Hepklntft Company. R.la
of Trails.
Tlnre was a good trade and activ
niaikt in wheat during the par wUi,
fluctuation covering li ran. Oper
ations were lomew hat enlaritJ, und
towards the end of the week orders
from the country more numerous. The
feeling developed was stronger and
higher prices ruled, all of which was
maintained, und the close shows an ad
vance of 7 V, with final trades in Mat
at 78 V and July 73 'c. The holiday
on Friday had a tendency to curtail
operations during the middle of the
wee!;, but commencing w ith the first
tap of the bell on Saturday there was a
good genetal trade and the largest gain
for a single- day in the week was scored
on that day, May advancing from
I'i'J 3-So at the oHning, to 7,le at the
dose. Heavy short traders were the
principal buyers, but they were first
goaded into action by some energetic
buying for lung and foreign accounts.
In the midst of rejoicings over their
recent series of brilliant victories, the
bears seemed to forget their experience
of only two years ago. On April y of
that year, May wheat sold at 5te, but
then began to climb, and the market
scarcely halted until 85 3-8o was reach
ed on May 2U the same year. A great
many bruins were hurt in that 30 5-Sc
rise. The visible supply was in that
year, on March 1, 7N,7t2,000; April 1,
74,308,000 bushels against 37,7Oii,O0i)
bushels at present. Chicago stocks
April 1, 1805, were 20,454,000 bushels
against present stock of 10,000.000
bushels. Nor was there at that time
any shortage in the wheat crops of other
countries, and no one was reading a
column a day about "the war in
Crete." The 30c rise came "just tho
same." We are not called upon to
state whether or not such an advance
w ill occur during the same period this
year. We do know, however, that it
lias been many years sinco domestic
supply has been so low as at present,
and about ns long since the world's sup
ply has been down before where it is
now.

Corn for Knallagr.
Quality of feed put Into the silo counts
for as much there us It does If fed dry.
This has au Important bearlnc on the
kind of coiu to plant for the silo. It is
not now the practice, as It ued to be,
to look exclusively or even mainly to a
great bulk of forage without regard
to its quality. But where the large
Southern corn that will not ear m far
north Is sown thickly, the Immense
grow th of stalks w IthouJ, any grain and
with very small nutritive value makes
a feed so poor that It needs a gn at deal
of grain of meal to perfect the ri.tlon.
Some good farmer of our .lop. ilut
11 nee have sown this Southern ...ii' for
the last time. The early Flint or I'eiil
varieties, drilled thinly enough to make
at least a nubbin on every stalk, can
be made to grow twelve to fifteen tons
of green fodder per "'To on rich hind.
If this corn Is cut mul put In "H" when

carbon in them to heat and form the
carbonic acid gas that preserves the
ensilage from spoibiig. The richer the
stalks, so that ll.ey be green and sue-
uletit, the sweeter the ensilage will be.
Sour ensilage always indicates that the
quality of the fodder was too poor to
get up rapid fermentation, which
would exclude air and prevent the fer
ment going I., the point of making
vinegar, thus destroying much nutrition.-
Exchange.
I'lunllnu Apple Orrhnrila.
How far apart should apple trees be
planted? The small, thin, wblplike
trees with a few roots Mltaclliil look
very lonesome when set at the proper
distance apart. It require strong
Imagination and some faith to see
these In the future, spreading lift. to
eighteen feet on either side, and with
branches that Interlock each other. Yet
they w ill surely do It if not planted for
ty feet apart. And on good ground,
that, for the spreading varieties, like
(ireeliing and Baldwin, Is none too
near. The Northern Spy apple grows
more upright, and that may be planted
thirty feet api.rt. partly to crowd the
roots and Induce earlier bearing. But
even with the Northern Spy we should
' prefer to have the trees planted forty
feet n part, and then plant In between
the rows peach trees or dwarf pear
trees to produce a crop until the tipple
trees co hit') bearing. No kind of
apple so much needs sunlight nsi docs
the Northern Spy. But this can be
best secured by pruning out the Inside
' brunches: of the tree and Jetting sun
light to the center. The Northern Spy
apples that grow on these Inshh
branches are small, colorless and poor
, In Haver. The fruit at best needs a
long season to ripen, and should have
all the sunlight Hint can be given It.
American Cultivator.
(rcnac t llcatrojr I.lce.
If cattle In spring are thl'i In flesh,
with rough, staring coat. It Is a pretty
sure sign that lice are troubling them.
It Is only on thin cattle that ilco can
long continue to live. Urease of any
kind kills them, us It closes Hie pure
through which they breathe. It i much
better to rub lard or fat of any kind
en the necks of cattle and around the
head than to apply large aaiouuts of
kerosene, which luls usually She cllec!
of taking off the hair. If kerosene oil
Is used, make It Into an einuls u i. with
1 ten times Its bulk of water, and using
enough soap to make the oil and waler
thoroughly mix. This close t!i pores
and Is Just as effective as sponger
doses.
Kurmrra Who Are I.nnil I'nor.
Farmers who have us much land as
they can properly attend to frequently
rent other farms und extend their o;
eratloiis. They cannot do (hi prollt
ably nub's they depend upon fer'd-
l.er. But few farms ri ive a s.illl-
clericy of manure, and when the fur...
er undertakes to cultivate mure land
he must either Impoverish the laud or
add something to It. It Is belter to
use les slaiiil and Increase the yield. If
the laud can be made to product' more
without enlarging the area the cost of
the crop will be reduced. Hundreds
of farmers are land poor and pay taxes
on land that cannot be made to pay be
cause the effort are not concentrated
on less space.
A a to Mice p.

business, but a hiiiiiII flock on every
farm is nearly nil prollt. Tin-re Is no
animal that will couvert the Is and
wastes Hint grow on every farm into

almost every kind of weed that grows,
even to thistles. They s..oii bullish
