FOREIGN OFFICE, December 2Sth, 1877.
S1R: The draft of declaration incoed in your letter of the 18th
instant has been carefully considered. The stpulations in limitation OF
provisions for most favored nation treatment proposed in that draft do
not, however, correspond with the terms of the third paragraph of the
declaration with Roumania of the Both November, 1876; that para
graph refers only to matters affecting border districts, which from time
European Powers with Turkey. 1t does not, as your proposal is I'M
derstood to do, apply to such International arrangements as Reciprocity
Treaties. Your present proposal, if rightly understood to apply to
Reciprocity Treaties, is in effect the same as the method OF dealing
Maiestys Government regret that they cannot entertain. For in
dealing with this question, Her Majestys Government have to consider
the proposed declaration not only as regards the relation between Great
Britain and the Hawaiian Islands. but likewise in its bearings upon the
commercial relations and engagements of this country with Foreign
States generally.
On general grounds, therefore, Her Maiestys Government are IN
able to accept a declaration in these terms. Lord Derby has stated to
you verbally, and in a formal manner in His Lordshlps note of the
25th of October, the friendly sentiments of Her MaJestys Government
towards Hawaii. They are willing, as you have been informed, to &C.
cept fully any statements which you have made in regard to the
Reciprocity Treaty with the United States, and they have no wish that
those friendly sentiments should be affected by that Treaty. But
apart from the Treaty, there are two matters with regard to which Her
Maiestv's Government may have ground for COMPLIMENTARY, first,
the recent augmentation of duties if it is maintained upon goods the
necessary denunciaton of Articles V and vi of the Treaty of the
10th July, 1851, when the only point in discussion IS the first para
graph of Article ~. Her Majestys Government are willing to accept
your assurances that the Hawaiian Government will propose to the
Legislature the repeal of those augmentahons.
As regards the second matter to which | have adverted, | would men,
ton that Her Maiesty's Government have hitherto, in the hope of sat-
lsfactory arrangement being come to, RETAINED from making any public
announcement of the denunciation by the Hawaiian Government of
Articles ", V and vi of the Treaty of 1851. In the present position
of affairs, this announcement cannot be longer delayed; and | would
suggest for your consideration whether, in order to lessen its effect, you
would withdraw the denunciation of Articles ' and vi, which, if |
rightly understood your verbal explanation, the Hawaiian Government
do not really wish to terminate. AS the purpose for which we n
tered into private communication does not seem likely to be accom-
plshed, l would suggest that your further letters should be addressed
to Lord Derby.
| have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedent, humble servant,

Care OF Swine.

Hogs should never be fed only what
they will eat up clean, and this amount
only when they have been brought up
to full feed carefully and slowly.
The herdsman should know exactly
how much each individual animal, if
the hogs are kept separately or each lot
if kept in small numbers will eat. 1t
is better for hog to he little hungry
than to be over fed.
Brood sows must be handled entirely
different from the fattening hogs.
While they are raising their pigs they
should be fed rich slops, of which corn
should form an important part. Grind
iinely two parts of corn TO one of oats,
which make into a mush well cooked.
Dilute the mush with water until it
stirs easily, then add sour milk and
kitchen slops until thin enough to
drink. Give each sow from a half to
tWO-thirdS of a bucketful three times
per day, according to the Appetite; af-
ter this is eaten give two ears to each
SOW.
When the pigs are weened, turn the
SOW upon grass and give her about two
ears of corn three times per day, until
she is again bred, after which the feed
must be increased SO that she will be in
quite good condition against farrOwing
time. But the increase of feed must
not he of corn
No damaged food of any kind should
be fed to the hogs. They will not eat
it only when forced to from pangs Of
hunger. Instead of saving all the dam
aged corn and other grain for the hogs,
give it to the cattle If it must be fed.
They relish it better and eat it with
less danger to health.
The hog will eat sound kernel of
corn, if he even has to root it out of the
worst of filth. but if the kernel itself is
mouldy he refuses it.

EXCHANGING SirpS.

Farmers generally have but faint con-
ception of the advantages that could be had
in their business especially the live stock
portion of it, by doing as business men in
other pursuits do, to wit, advertise their
wants. On the matter of bulls men some
times make steer out of a very valuable
breeding beast and buy another when in
many Instances there are other farmers
within few hours drive, who have just the
exchange wanted. and anvinuS tn nrn-
cure new blood.
1t not unfre quently happens that bull
calves of the finest breeding, and OF the
highest type of individual excellence, fall
into the hands of farmers who keep only
common cows. For his use, an animal of
good, but palmer breeding, would answer
equally well, while the other could be eX-
changed for by breeder having a herd.
Some would say that such a herd would be
damaged by putting at its head, a bull pre-
viously in an obscure place but there is no
good reason why this should be so. The
record, and the successes as a calf getter
would take care of all questions of this
kind with those whose good opinions were
1oTsh seeking If farmers, when wishing
such an exchange, would advertise in suit
able mediums, there would always be Gp
portunities resulting in material advantage
TO two parties. beside setting a good exam
pie TO many others. 1t is a sad sight for an
educated breeder to see, the convention Of o
meritOus bull into very indifferent steer.
to go forward as stag beef, at 3 or cents
pound
Such system of exchange would lead to
benefits beyond those stated here, and the
economy secured in the way named would
give encouragement for more general
use for thoroughbred sires. These ex-
shanse. need not be confined to exchanges
IN kind, but farmer or breeder may have a
male Of the cattle kind, which he can no
longer use, and while he may not find an
advantageous exchange in kind, there are
always plenty of farmers who stand ready
to exchange other stock or property, and
these can be reached by using the advertis-
ing columns OF suitable papers. If farmers
would take lessons from business men and
others in the cities, much could be learned
in the way of selling or exchanging articles
or stock which have become measurably
useless upon the farm, for other articles or
stock that the daily needs call for.

Dinner IN China.

1t Is certain, writes a traveller IN
China, that a real Chinese dinner
would be very odd thing in the eyes
of a stranger, especially ii lie were one
of those who think, as some people do,
that there is only one way of living.
To begin dinner with the dessert, and
end it with the soup; to drink the
wine smoking hot, out of little china
cups, and have your food brought to
you ready cut into small pieces, and to
be presented with a couple of sticks,
instead of a knife and fork, to eat
with; to have, instead of napkins, q
provision or little bits of silk paper by
the side Of your plate, which, as yoa
use, .he attendants carry Off; to leave
YOUR place between the courses, to
smoke or amuse yourself, and to raise
your chop-sticks to your forehead and
then place them horizontally upon your
cup, to signify that you have finished
your dinner-all these things would
doubtless seem very odd and excite the
curiosity of Europeans. The Chinese,
Oh the other hand, can never get over
Their surprise at our way of dining;
They ask how we can like to drink cold
fluids, and what can have put it into
our heads to make use of 4 trident to
carry food to our mouths, at the risk Of
pricking our lips or poking our eyes
out They think it very droll to see
nuts put on the table i'll their shells,
and ask why our servants cannot take
the trouble to peel the fruit, and take
the bones out of the meat. They are
themselves certainly not very difficult
in the nature of their food, and like
such things as fried silkWorms and
preserved Larvae, but they cannot un-
derstand the prediction Of our epi-
cures for high game, nor for cheese
that appears to belong to the class of
animated beings.
