WASHINGTON, March 30.-The criti-
cisms made upon the Russian treaty,
whether just or not, have had the effect of
putting the Senate on the defensive. 1t
is understood that when it is finally de-
cided to give the treaty out it will be ac-
companied by draft of the convention
as it came to the Senate, so that COM
parison may be made between the treaty
as ratified, and the one upon which the
Senate acted. Accompanying this will
also appear the correspondence, for it is
understood the State Department has
given its consent to the publication of the
messages that passed between the repre-
sentatives of the contracting powers.
The most recent treaty previously made
by this Government, bearing upon the
extradition of criminals, is that with Bel
GUM in 1892. That contains a clause said
by the Senators to be almost identical
with the political clause of the treaty
under discussion. Political clauses are
not at all rare in treaties made by the
I nlted States; for, from the early days
the right OF asylum has been protected in
all the conventions negotiated.
Owing to the rigid discipline and strict
frontier surveillance in Russia, it was
pointed out on the floor of the Senate that
extradition to Belgium and to Russia, un-
der treaties of precisely the same word
ing, meant two vastly different things
During the debate it was brought forcibIy
TO the attention Of the Senate, by one of
the leading constitutional lawyers of the
South, that this country had at one time
asked for and secured the extradition of
man charged with what might have
been, under such treaty, called a politi-
cal otfense. He referred to the arrest of
John II. Surrat, implicated i'll the con-
spIracy which resulted in the assassina-
ton OF Lincoln. Surrat fled to Egypt,
joined the army of the Khedive, and
thence he went to Rome, where he be-
came one of the Papal Zouaves He was
recognized by citizen OF Baltimore, who
notified this Government of his where
abouts. Upon application to the Pope,
who then enjoyed temporal power in
Italy, Surrat was sent to this country and
tried.
y prominent Republican Senator, who
has been pronounced in his opposition to
the ratification of the treaty, makes the
statement that the new treaty, not only
with Russia but France, bears the SEM
blance of a deliberate effort to bolster up,
or at least strengthen, the cause of the
United States in certain delicate diplo-
matte negotiations now in progress. In
other words,' said lie, I'VE purchased our
present Behring seal fisheries of Russia,
The party to one of these treaties. Our
differences with England are about to be
settled by high court of arbitration at
the Capital of nation which is party to
the other treaty, and who is also named
one of the arbitrators. 1t looks very
much to me like deliberate attempt to
violate the rights of human liberty and
return human beings into what is worse
than slavery in order that we may protect
few seals.''

The African Slave Trade.

The English cruisers may have
checked the slave trade on the
eastern coast but the caravan
route from Central Africa to the
shores OF the Mediterranean is still
ithe scene of all the horrors of which
Livingstone wrote. Mr.. C. H. Allen,
secretary of the Anti-Slavery society,
last summer reported that a caravan
of 10, 900 calnels and 1000 slaves left
,Timbuctoo for Morocco, and of this
number 500 to 600 died of thirst in
the, desert. IN another caravan it is
stated that out of 500 slaves 600 died
and the survivors were worth little
from the privation and. hardships of
the journey. Mr.. Allen says "the
desert this year must. have proved
more than usually fatal, but the afro
city of the trade cannot be ignored. ~
Yet there are Englishmen who call for
the abandonment of Uganda and the
region of Lake Nyanza, the retention
of which would give splendid van
tage ground for the ultimate suppress,
sion of the slave trade.

Points on Breeding

A correspondent Of the Stockman
and Farmer in stating the donts Of
horse breeding mentions several that
are equally applicable to cattle. This
man disapproves Of the policy pursued
by many breeders Of selecting stall
ions because the fee is small or because
it is high due to the respectively in,
feriority or high grade of service. He
insists on securing a stallion Of the,
characteristics that he desires in the
colt His method of learning if the
stallion is the sort he approves Of is
by watching his get of the previous
year. If these are uniform the STALL
ion is reliable, but if they are Of many
colors and kinds he is stunned, as his
service is dear as a gift. The same rule
is applicable in breeding for the dairy.
The careful dairyman whose herd does
not include a bull should exercise the
same circumspection as this man does.
The period Of time necessary to ac-
quire the same degree of knowledge
may be no longer, but it can be reached
with equal accuracy: For the dairy
the bull should be of marked butter
antecedents, and his heifer calves will
be strong in that particular. There
| will perhaps be a slight variation in
| the shades of their color, but the in
tense characteristics of the breed will
be present! This is the point that the
writer in our exchange is after, and
it is the vital ore that cannot be too
strongly Impressed on the breeder re-
gardless Of the class of animals he
breeds.

To Fatten Ducks.

An English contemporary says:
First, select clean, shady yards; if
they are grassy so much the better.
Do not put more than 100 birds to-
gether, giving them about six or eight
square feet Of room per bird. Begin
fattening when the birds are eight
weeks old. The feed may consist of
20 per cent of corn meal, Is per cent
Of gluten, 10 per cent of Bowker's ami
NAL meal, and 5 per cent Of wheat
bran. This should be carefully mixed
and made quite moist, but not sloppy.
The birds can eat it more readily when
it is a little sticky, and do not waste it
SO much. The feeding trough should
be five to six feet-two for each 100
birds Feed regularly three times a
day, at sunrise, noon and sunset,
watering at the same time. In warm
weather the ducks should be watered
between meals in addition. Be sure
and feed all they will eat clean. If
there is any food left in the troughs
at the end Of twenty minutes take it
up clean so that the birds need not be
zcloyed. Keep cracked oyster shells
and coarse sand in small boxes within
reach. Give green. clover or corn fod-
der once each day, say at 8 a. M,

AGES AT WHlcH MEN ri q RFs -


Artisans Take the Plunge Etrly, Profess
sional Men at About 3 ..
Statistics show that a law of
chances governs in the vast maj ority
of cases the ages at which men marry
who are engaged in certain occUpa
lions Workmen and artisans take
unto themselves wives at an earlier
age than those whose vocations are
of more intellectual kind. Thus,
miners, textile factory hand S, ,lsborers
and artisans marry at an average Of
20 years. OF these tie miners are
first in the field, more than 100 of
every 1000 of them securing wives
before they have become OF age
Workers in textile factories run them
close; then come shoemakers and
tailors, and they are: followed by arti-
sans and laborers. Farmers and
farmers sons consider 25 early
enough. Commercial clerks seek the
pleasures of matrimony at 26. Shop
keepers and shopmen postpone the
rapture a little while longer. Pro-
fessional men and gentlemen Of
independent means rarely care to en-
cumber themselves even with so de-
lightful a burden as wife until they
have toed the line of over 80 years.
Though the rich marry at a more
ripe age than the working fraternity,
the New York Ledger finds that they
continue marrying until long after
| the last named have ceased to wed.
Whereas fourteen miners and twenty
five artisans in every 1000 marry be-
tween the ages of IS and 40, nearly
! 100 Of the professional and independ~
ent class do It is explained in this
way: The rich like to see something
of the world and pleasures before
settling down to sober matrimony.2
A labQrer has neither desire nor OPP
portunity for it. When he has a
house of his own and a wife to look
after it, he has attained, perhaps,
to the height of hisambition. 1t is
said thatfa man is neither physically
nor mentally mature until he is 80,
and if this is true it stands to reason
a man at that age should be better
fitted for the duties of husband an0
father than a STRIPPING of FL. :

tiaaes, obsetxed a writer in Kate
Fields Washington. A young, pretty
and well-dresssed lady was walking
DOWN the avenue, evidently enjoying
to the full the delicious spring sum
shine. Suddenly she seemed in dis
tress. For while the cause was not
obvious, but as she made frantic ef-
forts 10 reach heel: united shoe the
passersby recognized the source OF
her discomfort.
Before she had succeeded in reduc-
ing the tapping sh.oestrings to order
a ragged little colered boy stepped
forward, removed his battered hat,
knelt in the muddy street, and tied
the shoe with grace and dexterity.
In the wo1nan's hand were a card
case and 6, chub5y-looking little
purse, but she walked away with
merely a .'thsnk you,'' and that not
very graciously given. The boy
looked slightly .astonished as he got
up and brushed the mud from his
ragged trousers.
On the edge of the sidewalk stood
an observant man, very plainly but
decently dressed. He had watched
the entire performance with quiet
enjoyment; and as the boy rose he
took from his pocket a bit of paper,
and, penciling a word or. two on it,
called to the disappointed young
Raleigh, who was turning away: i.
''Here, boy, run after that young
lady whose shoe you tied, and give
her this. Here's quarter for your
trouble. There's no answer"
The boy went in one direction, the
man in the other. I am not curious
above the average, but I would like
to see that bit of paper.

Feeding Bran.

With nearly all kinEs Of stock bran
can 'be fed to a good advantage, and
especially so during the summer. At
tine prices it is us,kally >sold at during
the summer it makes ,eme of the very
cheapest foods that can be supplied.
Some use more or less lin the dairy:

fos. the tacows and the steams, brood
mares and growing pigs can be given

can be fed for milk, for growth, to add
to the variety. and for manure. For
fentilizing salone it adds neatly or quite
it's cost to nthe manure and for the pur-
pose at'least it is worth twice the value
Of coarse meal. One advantage is feed
ing 1T is that there is little ,or no waste,

terials. It is also in condition to be
combined to a good advantage with

cases it's best. results are secured by
feeding in connection with other ma
teazals. With the milk cows, Oil meal,
coIm meal and koran with good pas
turaEe make coanplete ration for milk
and butter
With growing pigs bran can be used
with nliddings, ground cats, barley or
corn meal, and if made into slop with
sweet Skim Eailk with any Of these it
will aid materially in securing a
strong, vigorous growth with good de-
velopment Of bone and muscle. For
the teams bran can be combined with
almost any kind of grain with benefit,
while with unthreshed oats, if they are
run through cutting box, it makes
one of the best rations that, can be
supplied.
Many purchase bran all through the
winter from necessity; in many To-
calities from this time on it can be Sc
cured at fair prices, so that generally
it can be bought and used in connection
with other materials to good advan-
tage. -.
When grain raising is combined, with
stock-feeding the manurial value of all
feeds must be considered if the fertil-
ity Of the soil is to be kept up, and
with bran this thisis one item gained,
as it is one Of the best materials that
can be fed to stock when the value of
the manure is an item. It is not best
to depend on bran alone, but on nearly
all farms, more or less can be used to
a good advantage.-N. J, s., in Prairie

About Fertilizers. s55s

Careful observations made at the
Missouri experiment. station have been
formulated into series Of practical
rules for breeding, of which the follow
ing are a brief synopsis:
L. Animals should be fed as much
as they can digest without injury to
health. 81.
2. They should be fed a balanced ra-
n0n'-that is, oMe In which the various
ingredients are adapted to their needs
and the purpose in feeding.
3. Food is required to maintain ami
NAL heat, hence animals exposed to
cold require more food than those pro-
vided with wVa1,1n, but we'll ventilated
quarters. -T1he man, therefore, who is
kind to his cattle is kind ITO himself.
4. The digestive capacity of animals
| may be stimulated by a variety Of food,
salt, etc.
With regard to the Substances which
| enter 5aato THE composition of foods for
| stock, usually arranged in six groups,
the following definitions are given:
l. Water: The amount Of this varies
with the kind of food supplied. While
| pune water has no nutritiye value in
| itseaf, lit lplays no unamportant part in
| eafe animal economy, and should pc
| freely supplied, and of the best attain

2. Ash: This is what remains after
I tire 'combustible portions have been
burmed away. It supplies the mineral
| ingredients to the animal body.
3. Protein pronounced proteein): is

Cure, for an Egg-sucking Dog.

A dog that sucks eggs can always
be cured by boiling an egg very soft,
then placing it as hot as boiling
water can make, in the dogs mouth
and slamming his jaws together SO
as to break the eggs in his mouth.
No matter how long he may have
been addicted to egg sucking, one
dose OF soft boiled eggs will answer
for the remainder of his days.

A Few Facts for Farmers.

A Few Facts for Farmens.
Cabbage plants for late planting may
| be started in the open air.
| The May condition of barley was
four points below that Of last year.
| Just as We'll have two crops from
most Of the garden. lit helps to make
| the garden pay.
Plant corn, peas, beans, as well as
radishes and lettuce, at intervals for
a succession of crops.
Ground barley is am excellent food
for fattening hogs It lis good plan to
utilize everything that wall help to
vary the ration from an exclusive corn
diet.
Horses are very fond of carrots, and
carrots are very good for the horses.
These are two excellent reasons for
feeding them more than is usually
done.
Because 4 man is farming cheap
land is no reason why he should be
content with cheap stock. Good cat
tie will pay the new settler in the
West as we'll as any one else.
The process of grading up brings one
continually nearer to the full blood,
which is the source of all satisfaction
and profit in stock keeping. Any cross
which does not work toward that is
futile. -
| All colts which are not first-class in
themselves and eligible to registration.
should be converted into geldings and
marketed as soon as they can be made
fit. Keep the best FLIES for brood
mares.
The work horses will wear out lust
the same as the wagons and the farm
implements. Take good care Of them
by keeping them well groomed and you
can lengthen their period Of usefulness
just as you can that Of the machinery
by keeping i well oiled. I
TIE potato needs much moisture in
order to make a successful growth.
But this should not lead one into the
error Of planting on low, wet piece of
land, as such cannot produce a mealy
tuber. Land that keeps moist, but
that is well drained should be chosen.
The pressing question for American
farmers to study to-day is that Of a
more economical production. The in
terests are too wide for any scheme
for controlling markets and prices to
be OF any avail. Produce more per
acre and you will have a profit in spite
Of low prices.
Sheep are profitable stock only when
a profitable kind is kept, and in prof
liable manner. The man who thinks
sheep of chief value as scavengers, and
keeps them mainly for that purpose,
and without much regard to breed or
feed, will not be apt to find their feet
golden to his land s,as
Most of the people on the farm learn
how to milk, but not all of them be-
come good mixers. Some make very
hard work of what should be an easy
task. If you want the best results,
see that the mixer is quiet, easy and
firm in his methods. II he requires
much muscular exertion and bodily mo-
ton in the labor Of extracting the milk,
he is not q good man for the place.
