GREAT RACE STRUGGLE.
Which Will Gain the Mastery in Africa
Black or White

Which Will Gain the Mastery in Africa
Black or White
South Africa is the only country
where, in temperate climate and under
climate conditions admirably suited to
both, the European and the negro are
engaged in a struggle for mastery and for
occupation of the land, not by force of
arms, but by the silent process of natur-
al selection, which, it it does it's work
with less noise, is far more effectual.
The conflict is going on, and civilization
or barbarism depends on the result,
which is not quite so certain as those
who belong to the superior race could
wish it to be.
In the West Indias the negro has won,
but there the climate was against the
Europeans.
In the Southern States of America the
same battle is going on, but there co.
600, 900 of Europeans surround 1000, 600
of negroes, and yet even under these
conditions the question is full of diff
Guilty and danger.
In South Africa the proportion is re-
versed; half million of Europeans live
in the midst of 100000 of black folks,
who are backed up by great reservoir
Of barbarism, from which REINFORCE
ments in the shape of laborers are con-
stantly being pushed down to the south
to share the means of subsistence with
the black, white and brown races al
ready on the soil. The natives, under
the peace kept by the Europeans, in.
crease, apart from the immigration
mentioned above, according to the evil
dence of statistics, far more rapidly
than does the white population. They
drift into and fill up the country in q
silent way that can only be compared to
the flowing of the tide. Fifty years
ago Natal and the country now known
as the Transvaa1 Republic were wilder
nesses, depopulated by the Zulus. who
had swept of and destroyed man, WON.
an and child in their ruthless forays.
Now there are 400, 600 natives in Natal,
and at least million in the Transvaal,
outnumbering the whites by ton to one.
In Cape Colony the struggle is better
maintained, but even there the increase
of the black and brown races is very
marked. Review.

4 New Method Of Treating Disease.

Artificial Incubators.

Artificial incubators are a scientific
success without a doubt, but the editor
of Field and Farm thinks that they have
no place on an ordinary farm. The good
old fashioned way Of Matching chicks
with faithful biddies is the best. On an
exclusive poultry farm where there is
some one to give his exclusive attention
to the incubator it may be manipulated
with success, but otherwise it is better
to stick to the hen mother.

Losses at Night.

There are more young chicks lost at
night than during the day. The family
cat will sometimes eat with the chicks
during the day and disarm all suspicion;
but at night she will not fail to secure
the unfortunate chick that may be ex-
posed. Rats, also, play havoc at night,
often killing all. 1t should be the aim Of
owners to make sure that the chicks are
properly fastened in the coops at night,
and they should not be allowed out I'M
til the sun is we'll up. BY SO doing many
chicks will be saved.

Separate the Young Stock.

Ifyou have the facilities for SO doing,
separate the young cockerels from the
pullets, or, what is better, get rid of the
males as soon as possible, keeping only
those intended for breeding purposes.
Too many males are simply drones that
eat their full share of food and given no
return. Their sale gives more room in
the poultry house and a wider range to
each pullet for hunting her food.

this important industry. The cotton

these barrels, head up and put in a dry

In building houses for your poultry be
sure you have tight roof, a good floor

no attention to warmth. If you keep
your fowls dry they will always be warm
enough in our coolest weather.

that time, headed ringing edition
with the above words. Once or
twice before the plucky capital OF
California had been wiped out by
flood and fire. Her location was
most unfavorable, especially in time
of fresbets. But she never faltered.
Her ruined business houses were re-
built, vast sums were spent on levies
and in grading up her streets, and
o.day she is a wealthy and prosper
Gus city of near fifty thousand peo-
pie, defying floods and fires-though
the waters in times Of freshet fret
against her levies twelve feet above
the level of some of her streets.
We see illustrations of this same
spirit, of more recent date and nearer
home, In Seattle, Ellensburg and
Spokane Falls. These cities suf-
fered in few hours the loss of mil
lions. What was 1t that saved
them at the time of their calamity
from utter encouragement? 1t waS
the pluck, the courage, the good
humor and harmony of their peo-
pie, especially their business men.
BY an unexpected rise Of the
Willamette Salem has met with
some serious losses, but nothing to
compare with those experienced by
the cities just named. How will her
people meet this first-set back that
they have had for years? Will they
be influenced by a spirit of dis
couragement, and suffer complaints
and fault-fndings to take the place
of words Of cheer and confidence?
We believe not. "Up, guards, and
at themw Better bridges must take
the places Of those we have lost, and
still other improvements must be
added, If we are to prove ourselves
worthy Of our possessions in this
beautiful valley. We are now con-
siderably advertised, and the world
will watch to see what use we make
Of this, our first calamity.
Be this our motto, written not In
words but in deeds, Urbs 1ndomita-
