TALK ABOUT COLTS.

Winter Is an Excellent season TO Begin
Their Education.
BE sure that the colts have exercise.
Standing upon board floor cooped up
in the barn oil the time is very bad for
both health and feet. A warm, some
what sheltered paddock. in which the
young horses land for that matter the
older ones as well that do not get exer-
else on the road, may frolic and frisk
about Is quite indispensable to every
well-ordered stable.
There is no better way TO get horse
bndly foundered than to drive him fast
enough TO make him warm and then
leave him In cold draughty place with
out protection. But you certainly do not
want your horse foundered. Therefore,
see that he is well protected by wooden
blanket and not very sweaty. or hot
when brought TO stand.
The sooner colts education begins
the better II will be. This winter will
be good time to handle the young
stock. Get them well acquainted with
their trainer. Put harness On them
and wink them about, thus giving them
some iden Of what 10 to be expected OF
them in future. Do not persist too long
at enc time. Shirt lessons are most
satisfactory TO both colt and master.
Never tire the pupil, especially at the

Kindness is of the greatest value. A
lump of sugar, a small potato. or bit
OF carrot will work wonders with both
colts and old horses.-National Stock

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE negotia-
tons between the United States and
Great Britain for "a treaty OF general ar
bitration, covering all subjects of diff
ference between the two English-speak-
ing nations, present and prospective,
have advanced 10 a stage OF complete
ness far beyond what the public has had
reason TO believe. The purpose of Sec
rotary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote
is to conclude the negotiations within
the next three weeks. All OF the sub-
stantial features Of the treaty have been
agreed on. From the present status OF
the negotiations IL is believed the fol-
lowing will be the important terms OF
the treaty:
II A term OF FIVE years from the cate OF
the exchange of ratification within which
the treaty shall be operative.

seq question or the Venezuela ques-
ton now before Independent COM
missions. but TO include the question OF the
boundary between Alaska and British
North America"
As yet IL cannot be stated definitely
whether the treaty will cover differ
ences involving national honor and SOW
ereignty. This was point Of disagree
ment early in the negotiations. 1t Is
probable. however, that an exception
will occur in this respect, ms the treaty
is meant TO cover the usual and ordi-
nary differences which nrise between
nations. rather than such extraordinary
events ms an insult to the flag or any
other national indignity. which are usu-
ally considered outside the scope Of ar
