Repair spring tools and attend to
ordering such reliable seeds and spec
ial fertilizers as may be needed when
the season opens, if such matters
have not been already attended to.
Ewes with lambs need abundance
of food, otherwise the lambs, as well
as the dams, will suffer. If ticks are
troublesome, use a dip of tobacco
water, or some one of the several
preparations sold in shops.
The cattle that make the largest
returns for the food consumed pay the
best. 1t is the well formed animal
that makes the most valuable meat.
1t don't pay to feed hogs that will
only develop head and snout when
there are good grades to be obtained.
The sooner sap is manufactured af-
ter coming from the tree, the better
the product. This is not new to
many, yet there are always new peo-
pie in all kinds of business, and most
people incline to turn strict attention
to only such matters as in which they
are directly interested.
AS soon as the frost leaves the
ground the work of repairing fences
should begin, and as it is work that
must be done before the pressing
work of the spring is over, every
days work that can be done this
month will be so much time gained.
This being work that can be done at
odd jobs, it is we'll to employ every
leisure hour on it after spring opens,
until the work is completed. On
many farms the expense of keeping
the fences in repair-is quite large, es-
pecially if nothing but wood is used
for the posts and rails. Farmers
should every spring carefully look
over their farms to see if there are
not some division fences that can be
dispensed with, and if so, what posts
and rails that are good can be used to
repair the other fences of the farm.
Considering the value of good flock
of chickens, the profit in keeping them
well, and the fertilizing qualities of the
manure, it is strange that the fowls
should be neglected as they are on
many farms. The horse and cow sta
bles are cleaned every day, why not
the hen-house? Keep their house clean
and odorless if you would be success
full with fowls. Have a good floor I'M
der the roost, which can be scraped
clean every day. After cleaning,
sprinkle saw-dust over the floor.
Yes, every one ofyou farmers who
failing in your practices which you see
limited at in the paper, take it to your
selves. Do not think it means some
one else and that because you and
your stock have lived under present
conditions you will continue. If your
stock are shivering in cold barn, or
ygur pigs trembling on a frozen ma
nure heap, or your hens obliged to run
over and roost in the steam of the re-
cumulated filth OF months, we mean
you. If your door-yard is bestrewn
with stove-wood and old barrels and
hen coops; if the glass is broken in
your barn windows and the doors loose
on the hinges, we mean you.

but the supremacy of India is threat
ened in an Anglo-Russian war.
England finds prestige of arms a
sufficient basis for petty African
war, but the gauntlet which Russia
has thrown down at Penjdeh involves
the integrity of the British empire.
The mildest English Wing cannot but
insist upon firm and resolute attl-
tude. In such a contest Mr.. Glad
stone will not be lukewarm. AS for
defeat it is not to be thought of for a
moment by England, nor could 1t be
accomplished without shaking the en-
pire to its foundations. 1t would be
the beginning of the end OF Britain $
domination. With Russia it would
be a war of conquest with England
a war of self-preservation.
Some months may elapse before
further hostilities of an important ma
ture are entered upon, but the day OF
diplomacy is past. Promises and pro-
LESSONS must give way to actions.
Both nations are DESTROYS of time In
which to more thoroughly equip them
selves for the struggle. The effect OF
such preparations, not to melton the
waste of war, must cause immense
activity, for it must be remembered
that Russia has more soldiers and
more ships of war than any other
country in the world. In her stand
ing army there are 100000 men, and
she has 35S ships in her navy. Her
military authorities say they can
place 100000 trained men under
arms in war time.
The English standing army is 1922
900 men, including the English regu-
lar troops serving in India. The En-
glish War Office authorities profess tc
De able to put 642, 900 well drilled and
effective British troops in the field il
called on to do so. This does not in
clude the Indian auxiliary forces.
which would swell the total British
forces at home and abroad, to ovel
1000, 900 men. The English navy
contains 2S3 ships. But while the
Russian navy containg more vessels
than the English navy, it must be re-
membered that England spends three
times as much on her navy as Russia
spends on hers.
That the likelihood of prolonged
war between two such first class
European powers should cause great
excitement in this country, is only
natural. Wheat rose seven cents per
bushel in Chicago, on Thursday, and
other breadstuffs were proportionately
excited, while the whole stock market
advanced several points. Such move
ments are based upon the very reason
able assumption that the Anglo-Rds-
sian war would not only effect our
markets for breadstuffs and provisions
directly, but that it must materially
affect our maratime interests, and in
fuence general business by the trans
fer of European c-pital to American
investments.
One factor needs to be borne con-
stantly in mind, in estimating the
chances of a prolonged contest, and
that is the enormous cost of modern
warfare. Only this has caused Rus
STA to hesitate as she has, for her ma
tional finances are in a deplorable
verging upon bankruptcy.

resulted in the election of the Fusion

claimed as a Democratic victory it was
brought about by the uniting of all
opposing elements against the Repub-

only remedy for this is in tree culture.
