Ea*t PoiKTi 0»., March 2d—[Special Corro-
•pondene*.]—Intelligent farmer, from fha
north are seeking homea in our faction, au<l
many an eery favorably lmpreared with our
eUmate and foil.
Recently Mr. B. I.. Giddings, nj wide-awake
young farmer from Nov York atate, bought a
Arm In thla neighborhood and located upon
It. Wishing to form hie acquaintance nnd
gather aucb Information from him fa would bo
oflntercattothe rcaderaof Tan ConaTfro-
Tion, especially the farmara of thla aoetlou,
and of value to otbera who contemplate locat
ing In thla part of Seattle, the writer viiited
hla Arm one day laat week.
The place la beautifully located on the Con
tral rail toad, about ope and a half mllea aouth
oftbe Last Point depot, and conflate of one
hundred acrea of land. A email crook rune
through: near the eeotar and lying on eithor
aide the creek, la a wldo etretcb of rich bet-
tom land. The up-land hue a gray top anil,
with a mild clay foundation, and It gontly
rolling. Standing on the Central railroad ona
may teo nearly every aero of the farm. Thoro
are on the farm about 1.1 acrea of level bottom
and about h> acrea of upland. The place wet
formerly owned by T)r. D'AlvIgny. and It wai
hour lit from him n few weeke atnee by Ur.
fliddlngt.
The drat thing that attneb notice upon
reaching the farm are the preparationa being
made lo perfect the drainage of tho bottom.
Mot being an expert In thla part of agricult
ural science the writer tvaa unable to under

“What do you Intend doing with thla com*
“I am preparing It for my atrawborrioa. .
Will let It aland awhile; then thoroughly
manipulate and mix it, and it will then bo

Mr. Giddinga then explained bow ho cult!.

“I Dll amall earthen pole with thla eompoat,
place them in the ground near tho old vines,
and the runnaratoon take root in the pots. I

Conrras, Go., March 14 —Editors Constitution :
In reading last week’s Wkkkly Comwctiox I
eatno across ‘‘Subscriber,” from Big Hprlngs, Clay
county, Mias., asking for Information about cotton
planting. I will give a few hints about It, or what
J knows .
I have had eotton planted various ways, and I
find the following way the best: Lay off the rows
and put In the rotted barnyard manure, and throw
two furrows together, Just like “listing,” and leave
It. When you get ready to plant open tho row
with a "scooter” plow, put In the aeed and cover
lightly with a board. Be careful to get all of the
roak off; if not, when the “running arouud time
Celtics It will cause trouble."

Ilaavy Rioting In Halgtum.
Bncrexia, March 22.—Earlier reports of the
anarchist riots at Jelnenpe, Telluor and Sort
ing, In Belgium, Saturday night last, were all
far short of the actual truth. A great amount
of property waa damaged or ruined at each
place by the rioters. At Liege, on the aamo
night, there wu an open conflict between tho
troops, whleh had been mamed there for tho
twotectlon of tho place, and n Urge body of I
anarchist a, who were marching against the
town for the pnrooee of attacking and of
looting it. The Aght wu severe nnd pro
longed, bnt Anally resulted in the repulse of
the anarchists. They were not driven from |
the Add, however, until tho troops charged
upon them with fixed l-ayoncta. A 1
MVfW of i
the anarchist demonstration may be formed
from tho fltet that today no leu than D.UOO
troops are on duty guarding the district dis
turbed by the rioters on Saturday.
BncaaiUh March 24.—The strike began by
the miner* it I.leco n fortnight ago, la extend

turned n universal demand by the miner* of
tbe country for an lacreaae of wages, accom
