An evening paper advises every
man woman and child in this broad
land" to offer up prayer to Almighty
God" that war may result between the
United States and Great Britain as the
outcome Of the present complications.
This could hardly be called a humane
or pious prayer. War is horrible.
What could compensate for the thous-
ands Of homes that would be made desc
late for the want OF husband, father and
brother, for the piogant grief OF thous-
ands of widows and orphans; for the de-
struction, carnage and suffering? The
two foremost Christian and civilized na-
lions ought to pray to God for guidance
to deal justly with each other and for
an honorable and amicable settlement

A FEW, FACTS.

We are not well up in Biblical Htera-
tule hut we want to cite Il case that
we'll illustrates the situation in he city
of Corey The Israelit fish army consisted
of about 20, 900 men, who were orded to
go ont and kill off about 80, 900 heathens,
They thought it impossible, SO the gen,
eral cut down the number to 5000.
Still they were afraid and at last he
picked out 40Omen and with that numb
er knocked the tar out OF the whole army
of heattsens, broke down all opposition,
and lived happy ever afterwards.
Corey has 400 business men, Of this
number only 100 have joined the Board
Of Trade, and of this number so have
paid their dues and never attended a
meeting, ofthe 5Oremaining only % get
out and hustle They like the 400 OF Old
work wonders. aud like the Jewish ;,;sily
will get out and say: I've killed the
bear.
Now business men come on and join
the Board OF Trade. Attend he meet
ings and assist by youradvice and coun-
sci. III union there is strength, SO i'll
Corey let there be union. Every bust
ness man i'll Corey knows two manutac-
turing companies. Let him write to
them and see ii there il not a prospect OF
getting them to move their factories to
Corey. Say it brought one factory;
5OOx2-1 ,0O6. At an expense OF $50
and a few ounces OF brain power Gen
tlemen use your think tank little more.

they will naturally transfer their custom

who favor the new company. This is the

ONE WAR AvERTED.
Daniel Webster's Diplomacy Settled the
Northern Boundary Dispute.

Daniel Webster's Diplomacy Settled the
Northern Boundary Dispute.
War with Great Britain was narrowly
ayerted during Harrison's adninistra-
tration in 1871, owing to q compiled
ton of disputes, chief among which was
the question OF the northeastern bound
airy of the United States. This dividing
line had not been accurately determined
in 1888. when the treaty of peace was
signed and ever since it had been q
source of irritatation between the two
nations. The diplomacy of Daniel
Webster, then secretary of state, played
an important part in settleing the dis
pute amicably,
Edward Everett was then in London,
and Secretary Webster secured his ap-
pointment as minister to England Mr..
Everett was very popular in Great Brit
ain, and in response to his appointment
and as a courteous Acknowledgements Of
the graceful act of according states
man to the court of st. James who was
so we'll liked by the British, Lord Ash
burton, whose friendly feelings towards
the United States was known to every
one, was sent over on a special mission
to confer with Secretary Webster. The
result was the Ashburton treaty OF 1912
by which an arbitrary and conventional
line was adopted for the northeasterly
boundary, while the loss suffered by the
state of Maine was Unidentified by the
United States government. 1t was also
agreed that Great Britain and the Uni
States should each keep it's own squad
ron to watch the coast of Africa for the
suppression of the slave trade.
This clause of what become known as
| the Ashburton treaty was known as the
Cruising convention" The old griev-
ance of the impressment of seamen
which had been practically abolishen by
the glorious victories of American frig
ates in the war of 1912, wasformerly end

vessels would not submit themselves to
be searched. Henceforth the enforce

Tell the Truth.

Some observations which appeared IN
these columns upon the assembling OF
the new Congress apropos OF the lmme-
date occasion and of the general sltu-
alton have encountered the reception
generally accorded to the statement, OF
unvarnished truth.
! 1t is one of the anomalies of journalism
that. whilst the public is constant and
eager in it's desire for the truth, the aver
age newspaper either will not, and can-
not. supply the demand. Perhaps it is
because OF PARTISAN bias, perhaps 1T is
because of incompetency; but it Is abso-

The Work Of Bacteria.

The investigations of the bacteriolo-
gists during the last fifteen years have
been of great benefit in the treatment
of diseases and in explaining many
operations and phenomena that were
little understood. 1t has been discov-
cred that the maj GRITTY of the diseases
which afflct man and animals are
caused by bacteria. Bacteria are small
plants and represent the lowest form of
organized life. They are invisible to
the naked eye, and can only be studied
by the aid of the most powerful micro
scopes. Twenty five thousand of them
placed side by side would not make a
line more than an inch long. They
consist simply of single cell and null
tiply, not by the seed, but by each in
dividual simply dividing itself into two
or more. They are in the air, in the
earth, on the clothing and body, in the
mouth and nose-in fact, every where,
almost. We are indebted to these little
plants for boils and assesses, for fevers
that exhaust our vitality, and the more
deadly contagious diseases that deci-
mate our population. They cause the
dreaded tuberculosis in our cattle, chol-
era in our hogs and CHAMBERS in our
horses. And yet their work is not all
bad While some are destroying, 9TH
ers are building up. While some are
working against US, others are working
with us. The bread we eat is made
light and palatable by the work of some
of these little plants; the beer that
others drink acquires its bead" from
the same source. The delicate flavor
so characteristic of good butter is
mainly produced by the work of bac-
terra in decomposing the casein. They
cause the souring of milk and the ripen.
ing of cream, which enables us to avoid
heavy losses of butter fat in the butter
milk.-Professor H. @. Wallace.

Selecting Heifers.

Almost from its birth, an expert in
Judging of COWS can decide whether
heifer calf will be a profitable COW or
had better be turned off to the butcher
as veal 1t is not altogether matter of
pedigree. The signs of good COW are
a rather thin neck, but a deep chest,
and the peculiar velvety feel of the
skin that can only be made certain by
experience. The marks of the escutch-
con on heifer are plainly distinguish
able by an expert, though they may not
show 80 that ordinary observers can see
them. 1t sometimes happens that the
heifer which gives signs of good COW
at first runs to bee6ness after her first
year. This comes from feeding food
which is too fattening and which has
not enough succulence. There is either
progress or deterioration in dairy quail
tiles in the COW from her calfhood up.
I he best mixers are usually those who
are bred earliest, but after the first calf
it is well TO keep the heifer from breed
ing for full year, in order to develop
greater vigor of constitution, which is
impaired by too early breeding Pho
neer Press.

Feeding the Pigs,

When the pigs are three weeks old,
Mr.. Belts method, which he has found
very successful, is to feed them away
from the dam, where she cannot be
with them. This can be done by fenc-
ing off place about ten feet square
near to feeding place, leaving small
opening large enough for the pigs to
enter, where they should be fed regu-
larly of ground feed and milk, if it can
be had. After the pigs are about six
weeks old the rations should be in
creased gradually and that of the dam
slightly decreased for the next two
weeks, when the pigs will be old enough
to wean, and will have made a very
rapid growth and be we'll advanced on
the road to market. From this time on,
they should be fed all that they will eat
with apparent relish, without wasting
any food. In this manner the pigs
will improve very fast, and be in condi-
ton for market whenever you are ready
to sell. AS pigs raised this way at the
age of six months ought to weigh from
200 to $50 pounds, the average farmer
can readily see the profit in we'll
tended pig over that kept in half
starved condition that will reach the
age of twelve months before it can
spring $50 pounds, which has been
quite common on any farm in the chief
hog-raising states. -NorthUestern Far

Clipped and Condensed.

THOSE who profess to know predict
that pork will be high this year.
Whether it will or not, the pigs can be
made to utilize many waste substances
that are of no value except as food for
them.
GOOD roads will lessen the number
of foundered horses, will save time in
delivery, lessen the eXertion Of the
stock, and also eventually decrease
taxes by being more durable and per-
manent.
WHAT the corn crop is to this coun-
try the oat crop is to Scotland. Last
year l ,000,0 acres were seeded to oats,
and less than one-third that area to all
other cereal crops. The Scotch make
oats pay, even on high-priced land.
ALFALFA will neither flourish nor
long survive in a soil with water stand
ing upon or near the surface. 1t con.
sumes much water, but an excess, either
naturally or artificially applied (by too
long continued flooding), is altogether
fatal.
MUCK and mari are used as absorb
ents, being excellent for that purpose.
Mari contains large proportion of
mineral matter in an insoluble condi-
ton, but which in time is converted
into plant food after being applied to
the soil.
HEAVY soils are always benefited by
lime. Lime is slow in its action, and
may not show any benefit to the soil
for year or more; but there will ar
rive time when good results will be
obtained and the benefit will be lasting
and apparent for many seasons.
GRATING one kind of grape on
another kind has been met with success
in many cases. In the grating of the
Delaware on the Ives Seeding the Della
wares produced crops where they be-
fore failed, and excellent success has
also resulted in grating the Concord on
the Ives.
For fowls animal food is necessary,
and generous supply of milk will sup
plement it well. For both young stock
and laying hens varied diet is best,
and they should have grain and veg
etables daily. A small flock can be al
most entirely fed from the refuse from
the table and the farm.
DON'T feed young pigs upon corn ex-
clusively. Growing animals mus have
variety. Plenty of exercise, with care
and promptness in feeding, are neces-
sary to good results. A large number
of pigs die from overlooking the SOW
during the first week or ten days after
ia rowing. Avoid stunning, and give
pigs good dry bed.
