EUROPEAN WAR TALK.
The Great Nations Are All Armed
Camps Preparing for a Fight.

Berlin Special.
Here in Berlin the talk is war. Every
officer in the army is eager for it, and
the OvertaXed people, remembering the
milliards that came in such a welcome
shower from France, look forward to an
other period of relief. The vast schemes
of ambition that are heard in Berlin on
all sides are based mainly on the near
prospect of great military struggle.
One thing is certain-there must be some
sort of climax to the present condition of
things. l have travelled good deal
over the face of Europe recently, but
nowhere for moment was l able to for
get that four great nations were sapping
their vital resources while they worked
with feveriSh earneStnesS in their prep
arations for the inevitable struggle.
Europe to-day is huge garrison. At
Nancy, on the French frontier, 10000
soldiers are at work night and day build
ing works and drilling. At Strasburg a
similar number of professional fighters
are hard at it. In Vienna the en-
tire male population is apparently in
uniform. In Paris the people worship a
demagogue because he is believed to awe
first, last, and forever. In Russia the
war party is in the ascendant, and Great
Britain is in panic because she has
just discovered that she is at the mercy
of the great continental powers.
All over Europe the railroads are run
by soldiers: the telegraph system is a
part of the service, and the mails are
handled by men of arms. Every discus
sion in cafe, garden, or club is reduced
to one mighty question of war. 1t
slumbered while peace-loving Frederick
quietly drifted away, but an hour after
his soldier son had seized the control of
the nation the whole of Europe was
agOg.
There is no question of the great
power of the new ruler, for the army and
the people follow him with species of
blind devotion unparalleled in other parts
of the world. One portion of his fiery
address to the army is repeated con-
stantly. 1t is this: "We belong to each
other, / and the army: thus we are born
for one another, and thus we will stand
together in all indissoluble bond in peace
OF storm, as God may will it,
The prospects of the country have
changed, for the greatest army in the
world is now not under the COM
mand of an OctOgenarian or peace
loving invalid, but has for its leader an
emperor whom it adores and who is
above everything born soldier.

HAS COME TO HIS SENSES.
Young Zachar Breaks His Long
Fast and Now Is Anxious to

LUNG AdChdr bTcdkS HIS AOuSS
Fast and Now Is Anxious to
Live.
RACINE, Wis, July 12.-John Zachar,
the Caledonian faster, after an abstI-
nence from food for fifty-three days,
has at last been induced to eat. His
story is most remarkable one, and
although much has been said about it,
the true reason for his wonderful fast
was not positively known until to-day.
Some time during last March or April
Zachar and his father had some differ
ence in reference to wages, or a diStri-
button of property. This so worked
upon Zachar's mind that he became
morose and evidently led him to under
take to starve himself. The estrange-
ment of father and son was complete,
for during the entire time of his fast
Zachar'S father nexer visited him nor
even inquired after his health. An old
friend of the family learned the facts
and arranged a meeting between father
and son. which took place yesterday.
The two talked long and seriously over
their difficulties and finally matters were
settled. Then Zachar
3 DECLARED THAT HE WOULD EAT
and endeavOr to live. Accordingly he
was given rev Spo0nSful OF milk,
though he did not retain it. and at in
tervalS during the afternoon took milk
with pulverized crackers in it. This
did not seem to give any pain. but he
could not retain particle of the food.
He seems unusually bright and seems
certain he will live. Zachar presents a
revolving appearance. He has not
shaven since he commenced his fast.
and his hair and beard hang down over
his face. He is terribly emaciated,> be-
ing reduced from $50 pounds to ninety.
His eyes are dull and heavy, his lids
dropping down over them as though
there was not sufficient strength to hold
them up. He reminds one of person
in the last stages of consumption. His
skin is dry and is like parchment, while
his bones protrude prominently from
all parts of his body. Those who have
been with him constantly say he has
taken no nourishment for fifty-three
days.

proximity to the faculty of sciences, so
as to have the advantages of a vast
chemical labratory, and it will be in
the midst of districts where co-opera-
tive milk and cheese societies abound.
The school will be at once theoretical
and practical; will give full III
formation ON all subjects coming
within its aims, and will further con-
troll the quality of milks. Agents will
be not only sent to study the Industrial
wOrking-up of milk in all its branches,
in those countries reputed for milk spe-
ciaIistS, but such agents will be kept,
too, constantly on the road. They will
be like bees, ever searching for food for
the hive. These agents on their return
will become practical instructors. They
will be specially charged to note the in
huence of race of cattle, of food, of
feeding, as influencing systems of dairy
management. France imports large
quantities of ''Chester" and ."Cheddar"
cheese, from Canada, the States,
and Holland, and which sells from ~
to 2 francs per pound. The same re-
thai type of cheese made in Switzer-
land. The output of the central train
ing dairy school will wholly tap this
foreign cheese trade. There is an enor-
nous consumption OF, cheese among the
humber classes in France, whose means
do not permi. them even to think of
buying meat. They have the monster
skim milk cantal cheese to fall back
upon. Of course the soft cheeses are
only for the well-to-do classes. 1t is
contemplated to manufacture lizard
cheese" that mixture, if well prepared,
would hit the wants of lean purses.

Breeding Twins.

The London Live Stock Journal has a
contribution from breeder giving the
following facts:
SIT has usually been held that when
twin calves come, they will not breed !;
that the first born of the pair will be fer
tile, but that the other will not, and so
strong has this belief been among the
bulk of farmers that the later born calf
has usually been fattened. A few
years ago, in the herd of the late
Henry Caddy, of Rougholm, Cum
berland, there were twin calves,
heifer first and then bull, in the
order of birth. Mr.. Caddy determined
to test the theory, and they both proved
fertile. More recently, Mr.. Lancelot
HOggarth, of Milton Moor, Milnthorpe,
Westmoreland, had three births of twins
among his cattle, one animal having
twice had twins at successive births. In
two cases the twins were all heifer
calves, in the other a heifer and bull.
am now Informed that the four heifer
calves have all bred, and that the twin
heifer with the bull is also in calf. The
twin bull calf was sold, so of that my in
fOrmant could not speak. This expert
ence must go a long way to disprove the
theory of twin calves not breeding"

date.
New York Herald
China is united for Harrison. His
name is Inscribed on the prayer sticks
of every joss house in America.
The support which the Indiana states
man gave to the Chinese in Washington
against the united protest of the people
of California has won him the love and
support of the yellow phalanX.
Wherever the MOngOlian lives there
the name of Harrison is hOnOred.
He is the friend of the Chinaman.
He stood by China against California.

The thousands of yellow men who live
in New York are rapturouS in their
praise of the senator who did so much
to defeat the bill prohibiting Chinese
immigration for a set period. When
the news of his nomination reached the
city flags were hOisted on the houses of
prominent Cinnamon in token of tri-
umph. His friendship and advocacy
is the joyful theme of the Loon Ye
Tong. The Six Companies bless him.
The Chinese Weekly News contains
the following editorial:
C.'sWe will refrain from going into poll
tics just at present, until we are little
older in years. We are yet too much of
an infant in that branch of Western
civilization, American politics.
f'The stockholders of the Chinese
Weekly News, recognizing no politics
except the wishes of their subscribers,
are connected with no parties save sound
financial parties. One of their editors was
until the 14th of last November strong
Democrat, when upon that memorable
day he lost $50 in cold cash. In trying
to get over to Canada he was taken for q
chest of tea while sailing under the glo-
rious colors of his Democratic party.
Since then it has knocked his politics
clean out of him, and he won't vote for
the Democrats until they make Kanucks
come to terms and humble themselves
before the Democracy, of which he was
a small member.

When to Feed Cows.

This question has received some at
tention at farmers meetings and dairy
conventions during the past season.
Most people fodder three times day,
and some have even given five fodder
ings during the twenty-fOur hours. But
it is beginning to be found out, says the
United States Dairyman, that the bO-
vine stomach. as we'll as others. de-
mands time in which to properly digest
food, and that feeding twice day pro-
duces as good, if not better, results than
feeding Oftener. 1t is the nature of the
cow to fill her paunch, lie down, and
then throw up her food and masticate it
in little punches called "cuds." The
food then is prepared to enter the other
three stomachs and go through the pro-
cess of digestion. All this takes time,
and any interruption of the process
causes injury. Twice a day-morning
and evening-will be found often
enough to feed cows that are confined.
When in pasture they will spend the
early part of the forenoon in filling them
selves. The middle of the day will be
spent in the shade, if they can get one.
Then, in the cool of the afternoon, they
will be seen laying in store of food
for the night.

Feeding shorthorns for Milk

In the Shorthorn herd of S. N. Ed
wards, at st. Adams, England, says the
Irish Farmers Gazette, the standard is
400 gallons of milk per annum for a
'heifer and 500 to 600 for a COW, the GUS
tom being to reckon an animal as a
heifer until she has dropped her third
calf. The feeding is regulated very
carefully, with the view not of forcing
the yield. but of giving such diet as
will produce good results. The average
ration for each of thirty-three cows and
heifers in milk April IA was II pounds
bran, ~ pounds crushed oats, 10 pounds
hay, pounds straw, and 20 pounds
brewers grains; equal to 80 pounds,
containing about 20 pounds dry matter.
The hay and straw are cut into chaff,
put into tub and scalded with water
and given to the cows warm; the bran,
oats and grains are also scalded. The
feeding, of course, varies with the
season. .-

TALK ABOUT THE ROSES.
A Pretty Legend of the Origin O
the Rose of Damascus.

the Rose of Damascus.
Special to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, July 9.-And the
roses are blooming-the blushing
Damascus and Honor, with a heart of
deepest pink, fit companion for the
former rose, and their growth CORE
spends finely when together, while the
legend attached to the former rose will
also do for Honor" 1t is said that in
the Garden of Eden two red roses grew
near together and between them pure
white rose found place to grow, and
one day the two red roses leaned over
the white rose and kissed each other.
And the white rose blushed and thus
became the ''blush rose" or more prop
erly, the rose of Damascus.
"HOnOr'S" blush has deepened almost
to a burning red, and her fragrant
breath is as sweet as the blush, both
fitting companions for each other in the
heyday of their young lives. Neither
require any protection, both boldly

OF the 800 or more varieties of roses

MIXED HUSBANDRY
Believed to Be Essential to Per-
80 --zS manent Prosperity.

| One of its Dakota correspondents in
writing to the Farmers Review says:
Dakota is having the same history
Iowa and Minnesota had. Wheat,
wheat, wheat, until the tired land
would raise no more, and wanted a
change, then. because the wheat-raiser
continued to grow pOOr-and any farmer
will, in the long run, If he does not
alternate with corn or summer fallow-
until he was compelled to grow corn
and hogs, and thus he began to make
money. This year there is at least
three times as much corn planted as
there was last year."
Our correspondent has correctly
grasped the general idea that the
farmer who grows successive crops
of wheat on the same land, un-
til the soil will no longer pro.
duce remunerative crop of that cereal,
will Inevitably grow poor. says the Re-
view. That is foregone conclusion,
and, as he truly says, ''the history of
wheat raising in the Northwest. 1t is
not, however, the completed history of
the business, for there are still many
successful men engaged in it. These.
however, are not exclusive wheat farm
ers. The are engaged in mixed huS-
bandry.
In the Red river valley of Minnesota
and Dakota the wheat lands are not
completely worn out yet, but they are
fast becoming improbable for wheat
raising, taking into account the expense
OF working. low prices for the product,
and light yields of grain per acre. 1t is
in such districts where wheat raising
is the exclusive business that history
is repeating itself. Years ago there
was plenty of fresh land to break when
the well nigh peregrinating wheat
farmer had exhausted his present hold
ing, and thus an immense territory was
impoverished for wheat-growing pur-
poses. To such farms we must no longer
look for the American wheat supply.
The wheat-grOwing specialist must soon
become "a thing of the past" and our
wheat product be the output of thou
sands of Well-tllled small farms, instead
OF few great surface-tickled wheat
ranches.
Our correspondent is correct in saying
that wheat raising year after year on
the same soil makes farmer poor. But
as to the suggestion of the way in which
he is to become rich again, or make
money, as our correspondent puts it, we
cannot quite agree.
He gives as the antidotes to the evil:
First, the alienation of corn; second,
summer following, and third, hog breed
ing and feeding.
There is, however, some basis for the
claim that the Red river valley is an eX-
ceptiOn to the rule, owing to the re-
markable depth of its soil.
