indications point to the king of Denmark as
the arbitrator to be selected by Russia and
England in pursuance of the pending agree

agreed to the new negotiations in London con
corning the Afghan frontier question, and that
a meeting determination commission has been
arranged in detail NJ. De Staei was present at
the Royal Academy banquet. Earl Gran
vile in a speech expressed somewhat conf

Dispatches from Shanghai state the
the dispute between China and Russia regar-
ding the frontier of Manchaara has become
acute, owing to the non-arriyal of Russia's
members OF the delimitation commission, and
the constant postponement of the date Of their
arrival at the place Of meeting to settle the
boundary question. Chinese commissioners
have been ready for months to begin the work
of delimitation, and the failure of the Rus
sian commissioners has caused the Chinese
government to fear that the same farce enact
ed respecting the Afghan frontier will be per-
formed in this case. Now that the difficulty
with France in relation to Tonquin has been
settled, China has become more courageous,
and has demanded that Russia fulfill her part
of the agreement which led to the appoint
ment of the commission. The English fleet
occupied the port of Hamilton. The Chinese
protest against this act as a violation of the
integrity of China.

A dispatch from Tirpul states
that the dam on Karabaud river,
seventy miles from Sarakhsk, burst, flooding
the country for miles and doing an immense
amount of damage to the military roads that
have been constructed by the Russians who
are now making strenuous efforts to repair
the dam ana prevent further destruction. The
dispatch also states there has been no cues
ton as to the ownership of Penideh, as the
city paid tribute to Herat for over 100 years.
The guard for the governor composed of At
CHAN soldiers has been CHARTERED in the city
since Isl and it has always been an intregal
portion of Herat. Though there is no definite
news on the subject, the war cloud seems sud-
denly to have dissolved 1t is stated that the
ministers in council decided to meet the
utmost limits of English concession.
The public are dissatisfied with Eng
lands concession to Russia, and fears are
generally expressed now that the English at
titude may have already endangered the safe
ty of the party composing the Lumsden sur
veying commission. Preparations for war on
a large scale still continue in India. The ma
tives of the Punjab are reported to be in
state Of alarm over what they regard as Glad
stones trucking policy toward Russia

The hands working what is

il is rather late in the season for
work Of this kind, but we would
not seriously object to it if the
work is to be confined to the road

it to be the intention of the over

The disease known to- stockmen
a. 'black.quarter' is certainly not
the true anthrax fever 1t was
formerly considered one Of the
forms Of anthraS, but the'investiga'
tons of Arloing and Cornuvin
have shown that though it, like
anthrax, is due to a bacillus OF
bacterium, its bacillus is different
from that of ordinary anthrax.
Moreover, it is at first but a
local disease, and, SO far as have
nowlearned, is never so suddenly
fatal as anthrax. Then is time for
the use Ofremedies. Young cattle
are especially subject to this dis
ease, particularly if they are highly
fed aud are thriving. | cannot see
how cattle that are allowed to rul
in the stack fields fill themselves
at will with the coarse heritage
they find there, should be con
snlsIed in special danger. No
doubt, care should be exercised in
changing from green to dry food
but, indigestion consequent upon
neglect in this matter, can scarcely
be called the cause of this disease.

Pig Separation.

A little more brains are needed
on some farms. When a man
leaves his breeding SOW in the pei
with other hogs until she has her
young, and he loses all Of the LITTLE
ones, he lacks intelligence or fore
thought. When he leaves bel
there until few days before her
time to farTow, he is just so faI
stupid and runs a proportional
risk. The proper thing to do with
a breeding SOW is to keep her by
herself, in a roomy pen, where she
may be fed suitable food, and be
kept clean. A great many pigs
are lost every year on account Of
dirty teats, which get sore, and
then the old one will not let the
pigs suck, and then they die. The
SOW should be petted, scratched a
little and talked to, and made
friendly by these simple and com.
nonsense means. She must be By
herself to admit Of this special at.
tontion, and these little attentions
count; not in time, for it only takes
a minute or two for lesson, but
they count when the young come,
and in making the dams tame and
manageable. A gentle and tame
mother will make her offspring the
same, and such animals are worth
twice as much as the wild and IN.
governable ones.
Sows left in the pen with others
are liable to get damned or struck
in the sides, and then the unborn
pigs may be killed or injured and
abortion may follow, or the young
may be made weak and die after
being born. One dead pig in the
womb will cause fever and intam'
nation and perhaps destroy the
whole litter, and injure the SOW
very much. Sometimes she will
die, and if she RECEIVERS it may take
a whole season to do so. A blow
or jam may kill one pig and cause
all of this trouble. A SOW needs
food different from that usually
fed to them. She wants light food
and variety, and when By herself
she can get it without any struggle
or risk, provided her owner has
the wisdom to give it to her. There
should be some preparation for the
narrowing. The pen should b'
clean. A newborn pig will soor
get chilled or tired out in flounder'ne
around in a lot of wet or filth; very
little bedding should be In the pen
especially il it is fresh straw, or the
pigs will get tangled in it. BY
very little is meant sHch 81
amount as could be put into
bushel basket, Pigs are fond o
their home, and are always at
tempting to get back to old quar-
tcrs, when shanged, until they be
come accustomed to the new. A
quiet and contented spirit is de
sirable in q breeding SOW; the op
posite makes trouble when the little
ones come. When this kind O
annoyance aud worry can be large

available means and have the
