The Eastern War.

The war between China and Japan
is on. A few days ago a japanese
war ship blew up a Chinese trans
port with torpedo OF the 1000
Chinese troops on board of the
transport only 40 were saved. This
is an object lesson for the South
American revolutionists. Bypaying
strict attention to the modus
operandi in the present war they
may learn in time, the art of slaugh-
tering each other. The war between
China and Japan will evidently be
attended by fearful loss oflife. Many
of the Chinese troops are coolies
armed with bows and arrows while
the Japanese are equipped with the
latest and most destructive firearms.
Of course, the Chinese can concen-
trate vast body of men, but mil
lion men armed with bows and ar
rows can not stand up before 10000
well armed japanese troops. The
Japs have learned the art of war
through intercourse with the ives
tern countries, while the Chinese
have remained behind their wall.
The sympathy of America and Eu-
rope is beyond doubt with Japan.

After a few battles Lazarus was let

flash through the streets something

hummer, carried it out to vacant lot
and gave it decent burial.
A change came over hummer after

Though he received the attention of

FARM AND GARDEN.
PROGRESSIVE FARMING.
Why Draining Is Much More Effective
Than Open bitches.

Why Draining Is Much More Effective
Than Open bitches.
Drainage is being studied now by
farmers as never before, and in all sec
tions of the country it is becoming
matter of first Importance. There are
very few farms upon which more or
less tiles could not be used with great
profit, and as rule the farmer who
begins to drain his farm will be so
fully convinced of the benefits derived
therefrom that he will continue put
ting in drains until he has finished the
work on the whole farm. A heavy clay
soil can never be farmed to the best
purpose unless it is drained and except
for special crops, most of mucky and
low-lying lands are benefited by
thorough system of drainage. A very
few sections of the country have sub
soil that is in such condition that
drainage is not necessary. These are
the sections where the soil rests on
stratum of gravel that allows the sur
face water to pass away through I'M
derground channels. In some places
stratum of clay lies above the gravel,
anu llilS hluSJ OC Sub OhS OClOAC
the water can reach its outlet. These
places are so few and limited in
area that in comparison with the
whole country or that part of it where
drainage is needed, that they are of
little Importance in considering the
subject
Drainage acts in two ways. 1t al
lows the surplus water to run away
quickly, leaving the soil in shape to
be titled in a short time after heavy
rains, and paradoxical as it may seem,
it keeps the soil in condition to re-
tain more moisture than it would
if undrained. A hard, compact clay
soil that in dry times will become
baked and lumpy if not drained, will,
when proper system of drainage is
in operation, become loose and fra BILE
and retain moisture enough to with
stand drought that will wither crops
on low black lands. This is because
the drains running through the land
are not only pipes for carrying off wa
ter, but they also allow air to pene-
trate every part of the soil and this
air carries the moisture with it and re-
suits in benefit to the growing crop.
1t took a long time to convince farm
ers that draining was cheaper than
open bitches and much more effective,
but in these days there are few who
will dispute the fact, and these few
are among the unprogressive who do
not read the papers. - American

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Light is essential
IT stands to reason that raw corn
meal is not as good for young chicks
as cooked meal is.
AVOID high roosts, if you would not
have humble foot, especially if the
fowls are large ones.
IT is both cruel and injurious to pre-
vent fowls from having all the water
they want in hot weather.
WHEN feeding whole grain to fowls
scatter it well. If thrown to them in
heap they will gorge themselves.
TUBERCULOSIS in poultry is new dis

much corn produces the disease. We
are inclined to doubt that, however
CONTINUED health will be found in
pure water, good food. clean quarters
and in not overcrowding. Neglect
these things and likely your fowls will
sicken and die.
WHEN fowls go on the roosts with
wet legs in cold weather, the feet may
be frozen. Some remove the roosts,
under such circumstances, and let the
fowls rest on straw-Farmers Voice.

RELIEF OF HEAVES.

This Painful Disease.
Heaves, the common name for broken
wind in the horse. is susceptible of
great alienation by attention to the
character and quantity of food to be
eaten by the animal, as everyone
knows. If a horse suffering from this
disease is allowed to distend his stom-
ach at his pleasure, with dry food en-
tirely, and then to drink cold water ad
libitum, he is nearly worthless. But
if his food be moistened and he be
allowed to drink only moderate guam
tity at time, the disease is much less
troublesome. A still farther allevia-
ton may be obtained from the use of
balsam of fir and balsam of copaiba,
four ounces each, and mix with cal
cined magnesia, sufficiently thick to
make it into balls, and give middling
sized ball night and morning for a
week or ten days. This gives good sat
isfaction. Lobelia, wild turnip, ele-
campane and skunk cabbage, equal
parts of each. Make into balls of com
mon size, and give one for a dose, or
make tincture by putting four ounces
of the mixture into two quarts of
spirits, and, after week, put two
ablespoonfuls in their feed once day
for month or two. This remedy is
also good. Voice.

LEAVES AS FODDER.
Interesting and Valuable Tests Made by
French Farmers.

French Farmers.
About year ago NJ. Girard created
great interest in agricultural circles
by his strenuous advocacy of tree
leaves as cattle food. He held that
the leaves of trees, as compared with
other folders, showed high nOurish-
ing ratio, whether fresh or dried, and
that certain tree leaves are not sur
passed as fodder by the products of
natural prairies or pasture lands.
European farmers, among whom the
French have taken the lead, have been
Systematically testing NJ. Girard's
ideas by placing their cattle on tree
leaf diet. The results are said to be
most encouraging. The leaves after
being picked are spread on the barn
floor to the depth of or inches, and
are turned once day. The process of
drying takes from three to five days,
according to the weather, and when
dried the leaves are piled up ready for
use. 1t is found advisable to prepare
each days supply twenty-four hours
beforehand, when a small quantity of
chopped turnips is mixed with the
leaves, and the whole is left to fer
ment. Mich cows thrive surprisingly
on this fodder. The degree of nutri-
ton afforded by different trees varies
considerably: in fact, some trees were
entirely rejected. The final selection
of the French farmers was narrowed
down to the leaves of five trees, the
hazel, aspen, ash, elm and willow.

Story of q Generous Dog Who Protected .
Friendless Old Cur.

Friendless Old Cur.
A homeless dog strayed into q San
Francisco engine house, and was made
welcome by the jolly fremen. Though
they named him hummer they treated
him kindly, fed him, made him bed
Rn2 gave him the freedom of the house.
hummer repaid their kindness by
devoting himself to his new friends.
lie ran with the engine to every fire,
marched with it proudly on parade,
kept other dogs out of its way and
guarded the men if they needed his
care. He was seldom off duty unless
hunger prompted visit to neighbor~
ting restaurant, where a friend of his
engine kindly fed him.
One day, after eating hearty meal
there. he crammed his mouth with
meat and bones and trotted off. He
did the same the next day, and the
next. Then he was followed. Going
through several streets he entered a
small, dark, dirty alley, and, at its
farther end laid the food before a half
starved dog; then. wagging his tail in
satisfaction. he kept guard while the
old creature ate.
Learning that hummer was support
ing friend the tiremen went to see
what attractions there were about the
old dog. They found miserable,
dirty skeleton with broken leg.
Much of his hair WAS gone and his body
marked with sores and scars, telling of
recent and earlier battles. Though
they saw nothing desirable in the old
fellow, Bummer's kindness and wistful
look conquered
The old creature was taken to tha
engine house, his leg put in splints, an
addition made to Bummer's bed, and
the newcomer given d share in the
others rights. To the dog with sores
the fremen gave the name of Lazarus.
Kind treatment and goCdfood showed
their effect on Lazarus, but could not
make him young again. He regained
strength, recovered the use of his leg
and was able to walk about, but never
to run far with the engine. His duty
seemed to be to guard the house while
his younger friend attended to the en-
CINE in the streets.
The old fellow appeared to be the
butt of every cur III the ward. The

Oats as a Food for Hens.

Oats are highly recommended as an
egg producing food for hens. Oats
contain more mineral matter and less
starch than wheat or corn, and for
that reason they should enter into the
ration, not only by way of variety, but
because they will aid in supplying the
hens more completely for producing
eggs. Ground oats, sifted, make the
best food for little chicks and may be
fed dry. Our farmers do not feed
enough oats and thus get their hens
too fat by allowing them corn and
and wheat in excess. A change Of
grain will be beneficial and highly rel
ished.-Breeders' Gazette.
