SALISBURY ON THE SITUATION

London. May 6.--The annual meeting
o. the Primrose League to0k place to-
day In his address Prime Minister
Salisbury du'eit at length upon the
the Graeco-Turkish war and the con-
cert Of Europe. the main object OF
which. he said. was to prevent a Eu-
ropean war, adding that the belief pre-
vailed that all danger Of such a war
was finally dissipated and that the
peace Of Europe. apart from local con-
fiict, had been placed on better basis
and they had better hope in its success
than ever before Her majesty's gov
ernment, the premier also said, would
do its best to end bloodshed. In his
concluding references TO the war, the
marquis said:
The opening Of the Eastern question
was greatly dreaded. but 1t has now
come to be a nightmare. There has
been great fear that any outbreak in
the southeast of Europe might lead TO a
general blaze, but It is to be hoped that
the danger Is past and that We may
look calmly ON the large interest in
| volved.
1T may be that Turkey has exhibited
| proofs of strength which none suspect
ed, and perhaps better future Is open
to the dominions of the sultan. Their
government may have improved or it
may be the empire will collapse, as
many have before. In either case we
are justified in believing that all
changes viii be conducted under the
sanction of peaceful deliberations. >

MILLIONS ARE STARVING.
Famine and Plague Are Decimat-
ing India's Population.
Thousands of Poor Human Creatures Are
Dying by the Roadside, and Thousands
of Others Arc Killed by Loath-
" some Disease.
[Snecinl Lotter.l

No pen can picture the distress which
Is at present prevailing in the famine
districts of India. Conservative esti-
mates place the number of people who
are already dependent on charity at
4o,000,00o; and 50,0Oo,ooO more will have
to be assisted before new crops can be
gathered in April. 1t was estimated
that the last great famine in India (1s77-
Ts) swept off 100000 human beings.
The great calamity Of 1s96-07 may
claim as many. Not until January
did the British government volunteer
an official announcement of the exist
ence of the famine, thus preventing the
taking up of contributions in foreign
lands and materially adding to the hor-
rors of the situation in the blighted
districts. Relief funds are now being
raised all over the world and the British
government is doing heroic work to al
leviatc the sufferings of the natives.
But the appearance of the bubonic
plague among the vast multitude of un-
fortunates threatens to increase the al
ready fearful death rate, to say nothing
of the ever-present danger that the ter
rible disease may be carried to Europe

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE AMERICAN FARMER.
He Can Secure No Reforms Save Those OF
His Own Making.

He Can Secure No Reforms Save Those OF
His own Making.
There are a good many, ,discouraging
things for the American farmer to con-
template at this time. Some of them
arc political, some economic, some So
cial. Some nre due to the selfishness
and greed OF man, some to corrupt in
huences in public places, some to ig-
norance as to remedies to be applied.
Most of these discouragements are the
outgrowth of years and can be correct
ed only by time and experience. Mean
time the farmer suffers.
But the farmer cannot escape re-
sponsibility if he permits untoward
conditions which are within his own
control to continue. The other day o
representative of the Farmers Voice
discovered large farmer in the corn
belt" of Illinois who had stored up in
his granaries three crops of corn-1S94,
'q5, '96-and who would not sell BUSH
e. because the price he had himself
fixed three years ago had not been
reached. That man will doubtless grow
another corn crop in 1S97-and may
have to build a granary to accommo-
date it. The leading grocer in one of
the towns in the belt" told the Voice
man that every cabbage he sold was
shipped in from Chicago!
We talk of competition and the crowd
ing of population. What will we do if
W. pursue present methods, when the
population is numbered by the hun
dreds of millions? Let us learn now the
lessons of intensive and economic farm
ing-scientific farming-as practiced il
The old world. Take the island of Jer-
sey for example. There are As square
miles, something more than an Illinois
township, and there are 10000 people
What of it's agriculture? The island
contains $4,000 head of cattle, or 6S
head to every 100 cultivated acres. The
island of Guernsey is but 25 square
miles in extent, sustains population oi
10000, and &c head of cattle to every
1oc cultivated acres is the rule. Ana
these little islands are the richest ano
best farming lands to be found any
where.
The greatest reform the farmer car
ever secure will be of his own making g
When American farmers adopt scien
tific methods there will be no hare
times for them, and the American farm
ers who do practice this method nov
prove it,. Intelligent, economical man
agement of the farm, careful reading y
the market reports and study of tn,
principles which underlie the business
of farming, will make the American
farmers the most prosperous in th'
world.-Farmers Voice.

HATcHING TOO EARLY.
Important Facts Which Are Overlooked
by Many Poultrymen.

by Many Pouitrymen.
If pullets are hatched too early they
may molt in the fall, and for that reason
it is not the practice to hatch them be-
fore March. This molting in the fall,
instead of beginning to lay at that sea-
son, is the exception, and not the rule,
but it is better not to hatch earlier.
Keep in view the fact, also, that the
large breeds require longer time dur
ing which to grow than the small
breeds, and that only the pullets of the
large breeds should be Matched early.
They are intended to come into service
next fall, and then lay through the
winter. Light Brahmas, Cochins and
Plymouth Rocks should be hatched in
March, Langshans, Wyandottes and
Minorcas by April 10, and Leghorns,
Hamburgs and other small breeds by
May i. The small breeds sometimes
begin to lay when only five months old,
and it is not always desirable for them
to do so, as it is at the expense of
vigor, The pullet that does not begin
to lay until November, and then starts
Mt work, will probably lay during the
whole winter.-Farm and Fireside.

or America. The plague first manifest
ed itself at Bombay and at once led to
rioting and u wholesale exodus of the
European and well-to-do native popu-
lation. Over night business became
paralyzed, and in the space of 4S hours
the plague was carried to Karachi, Poo
na and Bandra, where the migrating
hosts sought refuge. Hundreds of
deaths occur daily at Bombay and in the
camp of Andheri, located but short
distance from the Indian metropolis.
The native physicians have nearly all
left Bombay, silence prevails in the IA
nous bazaars, and nothing is left to
add life to the scene except the heroic
English doctors, who have remained at
their post to fight the pestilence, and
the British garrison which is called upon
to maintain order among the frightened
and turbulent natives.
The bubonic plague is said, by med
'ical men, to be more terrible than
cholera. 1t affects the glands of the
neck, armpits, knees or the groin, and
is accompanied by high fever. The pain
endured by it's victims is eXcrucating
and strangely debilitating, death Civ
ing relief within 24 or 36 hours. Eighty
per cent. of those attacked succumb;
ten per cent. remain weakened for life,
and ten per cent. recover completely.
Like other epidemics, the bubonic
plague thrives on filth, and is hard to
control in communities. where no at
tention is paid to sanitation. A peculiar
feature is that the germs of the disease
are transmitted by rats, ants and other
creatures, millions of which are killed
by it. their remains carrying contagion

hold of Nine. Blavntsky, and became fa-
milinr with the social and economic con-
ditions of India, the alleged home of
theosophy and other cesteric philoso-
phies.
According to her views, the stories OF
the sutferings of the people of India
from famine and pestilence cannot be
exaggerated. They are, she says, des-
perately poor and have absolutely no
resources, there being nothing in the
way of products in the northern prov
inces but wheat, and nothing in the
south but rice. When there is drought
in the north there is no harvest, and
as the people cannot raise enough one
year to provide their bread for the next
there is intense suffering. When the
rains are excessive there Is failure of
the rice crop in the south, and then
misery and death stalk broadcast over
that region.
Government, thinks the countess, has
sucked the substance out Of India. If
young English boy goes out there
and takes a position by the side OF a
mature and capable Indian, the gov
ernment gives the boy four times the
pay it gives the Indian for the same
service. And that one instance, she
thinks, illustrates the whole treatment
which the British bureaucracy ac-
cords the people of India.
Reverting to the agricultural re-
sources of the country, the countess
lluded once more to the fact that in
the immense region known as North
India nothing but the wheat harvest

Many of the British officials ut Bombay
bare of the opinion that the only way
to eradicate the plague is to drive the
remaining natives from their quarters
and burn every building inhabited by
them. DisiIfection has proved entirely
useless. The native district could be
rebuilt in six weeks under proper sani-
tary conditions, and publication by
fire being the only effective method OF
destroying the germs, the expense to be
incurred would really be a splendid
permanent investment.
Humanitarians in all countries are
at present engaged in sending relief
to the Indian sufferers and, incidental
! ly, discussing. the causes which led up
to the present state of affairs. Among
/ them none is more competent to give
an intelligent judgment than Coun-
: tess Constance de Wachtmeister, head
of one of the branches of the Theo-
