STOCK ITEMS.

Unless they are to be fattened early
in the fall it is usually not best to feed
SO much in July and August as to keep
the pigs fat
A few pigs should always be kept to
run with the cattle. They will consume
the milk and much more that would
otherwise go to waste.
Breeding and feeding pigs should be
managed so as to market two lots at
least a year-one in the spring and the
other in the fall-and when a good breed
this can readily be done.
AS it does not pay to keep a team on
the farm and wear it out, care should be
taken in breeding to raise a grade of
horses that is in demand in the market,
rather than an all-purpose farm horse.
Good fiy-nets should be used on all
the teams during the summer. Flies
worry the teams considerable, and any
thing that will add to their comfort
should be used, especially when hard at
work.
Young colts or mules will make
much better growth and development if
they are fed regularly light ration of
grain every day-fully sufficient to pay
for the additional cost-than if they are
only allowed all the grass they can eat
To enable the lambs to get little
grain food for themselves, provide q
small pen with narrow openings through
which they can squeeze and put small
fat trough in it. The young things
will soon discover it's purpose and make
use of it,

The quicker a0hog can be fattened and
marketed the better the profit. This is
an accepted fact, and in order to make
a hog grow rapidly he must be pushed.

THE SEALING TROUBLES.

Tho Gravity Of the Situation Causes Com
eress to Ask for Information-The British
Reinforcements In the Pacific.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-For several
months the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the House has been engaged in dis
cussion of various phases of the Behring
sea sealing matter. There has been
little communication between the COM
mittee and the State Department with
relation to the affair, though Chairman
Hit of Illinois is q close personal friend
of Secretary Blaine. The negotiations
have been regarded as of SO important
and confidential character that Secre-
tary Blaine has preferred not to inform
greater mum Der of persons than abso-
lutely necessary of the progress made.
Tuesday Chairman Hit called the
Foreign Affairs Committee together, and
agreed to report to the House at once a
resolution calling upon the President to
send to the House all the correspond
ence on the subject of the oBehring sea
question that might properly be made
public. Mr.. Hit hurried into the House
as the hands of the clock pointed to
4:45, and in the turmoil that preceded
the adjournment he was unable to pre-
sent his resolution.
Yesterday the resolution was present.
ed to the House and adopted.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. HIT said:
''It is possible that all the correspond
ence between Great Britain and the
United States will not be sent to the
House, as the resolution is so drawn
that the President may, at his discre-
ton, omit such part as in his Judgment
should remain confidential"
/ Representative McCreary, of Ken
lucky. the principal Democratic mem
Der of the House Foreign Affairs Com
| mittee, has devoted great deal of at
tention to the Behring sea dispute. In
speaking of tire resolution, Nh. Nc
Creary said: while it is an exagger-
alton to say that we are threatened with
war, it is nevertheless a fact that an un-
usually large British feet is being as
sembled in the North Pacific. There
are already two war vessels lying off
squimault-the Amphion and the
Champion. see by the telegraph re-
ports that the War oSprite, Admiral
HolGham's flagship, is daily expected to
arrive there, accompanied by three other
war vessels carrying in the aggregate
thirty-six guns. We are also told that
two British torpedo boats have crossed
the Atlantic-the first of their class to
make the trip. What do all these
preparations mean? Congress should
not proceed in the dark on such an. i'm
! portant subject We should know just
what has been done, 6and what it is ex.
pected may be done. In other words
Congress should have all the informa-
ton obtainable on this matter"
| WHAT PAUNCEFOTE SAYS. o
| New York, July 1O.-TRe World has
the following from Washington in re-
gard to the Behring sea complications
''Sir Julian Pauncefote was seen blythe
World correspondent yesterday. He re-
peated the diplomatic denial switch he
made Monday. night butt said that he
preferred to add nothing to it which
might lead to friction or be miscon
strued. He added, however: There is
! no doubt that our vessels in the North
Pacific are there to protect the British
flag and our sealers.'"

Double Tragedy.

CHICAGO, July I1.-William Rittamel,
a German carpenter, shot his wife
through the head yesterday. The muir
derer's son, thirty years old and just
completing an eight-year course of
study for the Lutheran Evangelical
ministry, heard the shot and entering
the room encountered his father who
held the weapon still in his hand. A
terrible struggle ensued and the son
was finally forced to shoot his father in
order to rescue his mother. Young Rit-
tamel was arrested. Both husband and
wife are badly wounded and little hope is
entertained Of the recovery of either.
