Mexico (,'ity, Jan. 20.—Foreign rrospondeiits in Mexico have en tlireatened with deportation “pernicious foreigners” as pro vided in Article 53 of the Consti tution of the United States of Mexico, if they do not mend their ways and desist from sending out false news, t been doit fact, the fore mis to Util, till As alleged they matter of ipondents i at great I out the vhole truth and noth- not exaggerated, as he saw piles of fifty and more rebel corpses in many planes on the battlefield and that at least fifteen hundred were wounded.

They had picked up a thousand peons in Dona (Wilia arid the neighborhood and made them go out and repair the track for thirty kilometers. Then they brought the men back and turned them loose. “I saw the cannonading from the artillery and the Mexican gunboats. It kept up for three days, hut in all that time not one shell landed near enough to the rebels to do any damage. Several shells from the Mexican gun boats fell in the federal trenches, however, and killed and wounded the ‘volunteers’ who were lyin there, in some instances chained seven men killed and forty three j wounded! t ing but the truth, and that, is just where I he shoe pinches. It is Well understood among the correspond ents that any news of rebel suc cesses, of financial near panics, of business deprssion, of federal los ses, of anything not wholly favor able to the government, will be denied hy the government, and, consequently branded as “false news.” Bo any correspondent caught sending out such facts is liable to be adjudged a “pernici ous foreigner” nnd sent out of the country for the country’s good. The truer the news he sends the more dangerous it is considered, unless it should happen to he fa vorable to the government and true at the same time, a combina tion rather difficult to obtain from day to day.

The best spring prepara tion of tiic soil is practically im possible unless it has been proper ly turned and deeply broken dur ing the previous summer or fall. The necessity for deep plowing in the South is probably not realized by those who arc not familiar with the heavy rainfalls in this section, which frequently packs and runs the particles of soil to gether so as to exclude air and sunshine. The absence of freez ing prevents any loosening up of the particles, besides in litany places there is an almost imper vious hard-pan of subsoil, either natural, or brought about from a continuous custom of shallow plowing “While they were eating they h-Ih-Ih.

Planting may be done with small plows or just as effectively and much faster with a disc cultiva tor set at the proper angle. Should there be clods a roller may be used and this is followed with a section harrow. Too much care can not be given to the preparation of the seed bed. It not only saves cultivation hut makes plant food available and furnishes proper conditions for seed germination and rapid growth. The best farmers will tell you that thorough prepara tion is more than half the ex pense of making a good crop.
