MEXICAN CONGRESS
President Diaz' Message Re
ports the Country in Excel
lent Condition.

| ldenf Dlaz opened congress LUIS
evening and began his message
with review of foreign rela
ltions aud remarks that this
country has no difficulty with
any foreign governments. IN
referring to Cuba he says that
whenever Mexican citizens have
been arrested and imprisoned
in Cuba charged with being i'm
plicated in the instruction, the
Mexican consul at Havana has
been successful in obtaining
their release.
With respect to the United
States be refers to the exten
sion of the term for the compile
ton of the work of the inter
national water commission by
an agreement between the two
governments concluded at
Washington in November last.
The extension is for one year,
and the subject for this COM
mission to settle is the contrO
versy arising from changes In
the bed OF the Rio Gra0de riV
er, and in that part of its course
where it forms the international
boundary. He also states that
the same commission has re-
ported on the plan for cOnstruc-
ton of the dam of the same riV-
er above Ri Paso, and says that
the Mexican minister at Wash
ington is negotiating a treaty
with the United States govern
ment on lines recommended in
tho report of the commission.
He remarks that the two gov
ernments have agreed to sub
nit to the arbitration of the
Argentine minister at Madrid
the claims against Mexico of
Charles OberIander and Bar
bara NJ. Messenger, growing out
of the arrest Of the former by
Mexican officials OH the border
of Lower California. The ar
engagements for arbitration of
this claim have been reached |
under the old treaty of Guada |
Iupe, which provided for the
submittal TO arbitration Of all
controversies between the two
nations which can not be set
tied through diplomatic chan
nels, provided that arbitration
is not applicable TO special cir
cumstances, which do not exist
in the present instance.
In dealing with domestic
affairs the president alIudes to
the progress public works
throughout the country, and
devotes much space to the sub
iect of education. Gold aud
silver mining continues to pros
per. He remarks that since his
previons message in Septem Der
2053 mining grants have been
issued. During the last fiscal
year the total exports of Mexico
amounted TO S105 100000 of
which mineral products con
tribnted 81 100000. In some
of the mining camps of Mexico
great progress is being made
in the application of electricity

:IHE DAIRY.
DAIRY ITEMS.

Don't forget that COWS, like people,
need plenty of fresh pure water.
The dairy product in America is
more valuable than the product Of our
gold and silver mines.
Treat the heifer well. Habits as
sumed during the first year of her
milking will cling to her.
In the selection of the dairy COW let
her performance at the pail be the test
and then if she has a good pedigree all
the better.
A correspondent of one of our dairy
exchanges voices our sentiments when
he says that what we need is not more
COWS, but better COWS.
Your old herd of bony creatures that
did not get enough feed last winter
costs more to maintain than would a
few Of finer stock that would make an
equally large supply of milk and but

Cows are making more money for
you when lying under some shade tree
at noon than they would be if picking
grass in the hot sunshine. See that
there is some natural or artificial shell
ter for your COWS in their pasture.
When that COW with the sore teat
kicks while being MIXED, dof your
stick and whip and don your thinking
cap. Kicking's the only protest against
cruelty the COW can make. If she
could but speak, it would be different.
e System and order are virtues which
the dairymen a hardly over estimate.
A little neglect and inattention-the
result is a decreased. supply of milk.

POULTRY SHOW.

It looks as though Shelby will have
a grand good show and it is to be hoped
that the fanciers of that section will
not go down deep into their pockets to
import judges when they have a liberal
allowance of capable talent at home
that could do the work. thus saving
the association great expense. The
Tar Heel P~oultryman says:
"Eyerything PORTS to a large poul-
try show here this winter. There are
more thoroughbred fowls in this coun-
try now than was ever known and the
people are intensely interested in fine
fowls" Cleveland county alone will
furnish at least 500 fowls for the show
while Rutherford will not be far be-.

ton and will have them. Keep an
eye on the Shelby show; it is going to

THE YOUNG

II the young pullets for next year
were Matched in March they shouldno
be large enough to make a selection.
1t is important that they grow rapidly,
so as to have them begin laying next
November. Do not be tempted TO
keep all of them unless you Can give
them plenty of room, for crowding
will do more to retard them than any,
thing else. Among the pullets will be
noticed some which are apparently
stunted and which do not keep up with
the others. Sell them off with the
young males. Feed young pullets on
bone and meat, allowing but little
grain at anytime, az the object ia to
supply the elements which produces
bone and muscle instead Of fat. II
with good care you find that the pull
let's do not grow, look carefully on
their heads and neck for the large gray
lice, and rub a few drops of melted
lard well into the skin Of the heads,
neck, under the throat and around the
vents; but the lard should not be used
too frequently, as grease of any kind is
injurious to poultry when applied on
the bodiea.-Farm and Fireside.

z IN THE SOUTH.

One of the most prominent sheep
men OF the South writes of his expe.
rlence in a most encouraging strain.
He declares of his flock of 1877 sheep
that there is "a larger profit in them
than in any other kind of live stock, ~
and that they ''pay for themselves
once each year in wool and mutton,
end almost again in manure. They
yield three ~crops-one of wool, one of
lambs, and one of manure-either of
which will pay the expenses of raising
the sheep"
He adds several interesting and val,
