The treaty is only in danger from the
acts of the Opposition; and if it be main
tanned it will be for reasons wholly apart
from any which the Opposition papers
set up. We apprehend that the agrees
sive action of Germany in Samoa will
have not little to do with the main
tenanee of the treaty; and furthermore,
Colonel Spreckels is always working in
its behalf. The tone of the Pacific Coast
press is friendly to it with single pow
erful exception. But it is useless to dis
guise the fact that persistence in the
course the ADVERTISER has protested
against will, and does, raise strong OBJ
sjections against it continuance. We can
not, as a people, use the United States
without fairly reciprocating.

The Evening Maggie is afraid lest
our articles exposing the discrimination
against American shipping should go for
ward and imperil the treaty. Let it not
trouble its little heart about that The
danger lies not in the recital, but in the
fact. II its patrons had not done the
acts mentioned there could have been no
damaging statements. There must be
no lodging of an issue in that way. If
the ADVERTISER had not warned the
country Of the danger to be apprehended
from what was going on, it would have
been rudely appraised of the fact by read
ing a similar statement in the official re-
port of United States officers. The
Opposition cannot hide their acts, as
they would fain hide their heads, under

Educating Colts.

The education of the colt should COM
mence when he is very young, and by those
only who are themselves educated, or at
least have common sense enough to know
how. Horses of high mettle are more east
ly educated than those of less or dull spirits,
and are more susceptible to ill training or
bad management, and, consequently, may
be made good or bad according to the edu-
cation they receive. But horses of dull
spirits are susceptible to bad management,
and in them may be found the most pro-
voking obstinacy and vicious habits of diff
ferent characters, that render them almost
worthless. Could the coming generation
of horses in this country be kept, from their
earliest days of colthood to the age of five
years, wholly in the hands of good and care
full managers, there would be a vast differ
ence in the general character of these noble
animals.
If colt is never allowed to get an ad-
vantage, it will never know that it possess
es a power which man cannot control; and
if made familiar with strange objects it will
not be skittish and nervous. Above all
things, colt should early be taught to stop
at the word, whoa! He should be made to
stand quietly while you are getting in and
out of the carriage or wagon to which he is
hitched; as the lack of this part of his edu-
cation subjects the person, or persons using
him, to frequent annoyance, and often seri-
Gus injury. Vicious habits are easily in
duced in horses by tickling and plaguing
them, while in the stable, and under no Cir
cumstances should ever be tolerated. New
er beat or use harsh language to horse in
the stable, unless you prefer vicious to a
clever one. A horse is susceptible of taking

Hen House Guano.
0ur A nrinnltI1ral EditOr.

By Our Agricultural Editor.
Farmers lose great deal of very valua
BILE fertilizer every year by not saving the
manure from the hen house as they should.
Kept dry, this manure IS almost equal to
the best Peruvian guano, and will go as far
and do as much good, pound for pound, as
any of the average fertilizers in the market.
The proper way to manage it is, to have
tight roof overhead that will not leak and
plank floor beneath to keep the droppings
from absorbing the moisture of the soil.
Then as fast as the manure collects in pile
under the roosts it can be scraped aside to
one corner of the room. worked over with a
hoe to make it fine, and then covered with
plaster, to prevent the escape of the ammo
MIA. A barrel or bag of the plaster should
be kept always in the poultry house, and
every time some of the manure is scraped
back to the pile some plaster should be
sprinkled over it. Hen manure kept dry in
this way, and sprinkled with plaster, eau
easily be worked fine, and will be as dry and
fit to handle in order to SOW it as most Of the
commercial fertilizers.
Not only should the pile itself be sprink-
led with plaster, but plaster should be scat
tered over that under the roosts where it lies
upon the floor. 1t would cause it to dry
quicker, and the atmosphere of the house
would be made purer. The health of the
fowls demands that the poultry house be
kept clean and sweet. To effect this, moth
ing is better than plaster; and for the man.
facture OF good and effective fertilizer, nc
combination is better than poultry manure
and land plaster.
But it is essential that this manure be
kept dry. Therefore plank floor to the
poultry houses is necessity. 1t may be Of
the cheapest boards, and tarred, to make il
last longer. Road dust (dry) may take the
place of the plasteras an absorbent, and dry
clay is also good. But as plaster is itself a
valuable fertilizer, the manure is much bet
ter when this is used Save the manure. L
will pay.-IndeD- appeal.

Fall Pigs.

1t is doubtful if anything is gained ulti-
mately by having sows farrow twice year.
The suoklings of two litters must injurious
ly reduce the SOW, and the pigs are not
properly nourished, thus injurlng them.
But when the spring litters are still born,
or lost shortly after birth, or, in some cases,
when sows are too young to be bred to far
row in the spring, it is good policy to breed
for fall pigs But to mako them as good as
spring pigs they must have good shelter and
the equivalent of green food. Swine shell
ters are more likely to be made too warm
than otherwise. The swine lie close togeth-
er, and their bodies are compact, hence
they require rather open shelters. Shelter
ed swine usually suffer more from foul air
than from cold. Good ventilation is the
first essential of q swine shelter. This
must not be forgotten when constructing
shelters for fall pigs, for, because they are
small, the shelter is likely to be made warm
er than for mature swine, which is saying
that it will be altogether too warm. They
should have no litter if the shelter will
keep them dry and protect them from winds.
The equivalent of green food is easily pro-
vided and it is not more expensive food
than grain. Turnips can be grown after a
crop of early potatoes or sweet corn has
been removed from the land, or even on
stabble ground. The small potatoes may
be gathered up and boiled. A patch of rye
will give green food until covered by the
snow and at interval during the winter.
The vegetables scraps may be saved, and
thus the pigs be kept thriving through the
winter Agriculturist for Au-
guSt.

HALF A MILLION OF PEoPLE.-Rev. John
Brown, Presbyterian clergyman of Albany,
Texas, is in Buffalo, N. Y, in the interests
of one hundred thousand starving families,
representing half million people, who, he
says, are starving in the drought stricken
district of N orthwest Texas. Appeals were
made by him Sunday in different churches.
Mr.. Brown says that the sufferings and dis
tress caused by the drought which has ex-
isted for the past fifteen months was even
greater than at Charleston, but the railroad
authorities who owned lands which they
wanted to sell to settlers, conspired to hush
up the real condition of the people lest it
should interfere with emigration. Thou
sands of families have not eaten meat this
summer, and water is being carried thirty
miles for household use. The object of this
mission, he says, is to procure 100, 600 BUSH
els Of seed wheat, but owing to the Charles
ton disaster, he had thus far only receiy-
ed tens where otherwise he might have OBJ
tanned thousands of dollars. The task was
greater than the people of Texas could per
| form, and in the name of humanity, mercy,
and charity he appealed to the charitable
public to help the starving multitude
