Some men never speak kindly to
a horse, and, therefore, never have
kind horse. Procure the affection
of your horse, and you have taken
the most important step toward
procuring his best services.
Not only are growing cities re-
curing the heaviest of horses, but
in those regions where the farm
population is increasing the farms
are adapted to the improved i'm
plements and machinery, and these
require horses of weight to operate
them. The sulky pillow with two or
more mold boards, the broad press
drill, the self binder, the cutaway
pillow and harrow demand heavier
teams.
1t is muscle rather than meat that
the work team need-vigor and
strength rather than fat. For colts
and brood mares there will be salts
faction in bran and oat shorts, with
some linseed meal. For the driving
horse nothing is better than oats
Nothing is so good as alternate
feeds of corn and bran for work
horses.

To avoid scratches or grease heel
keep the legs and feet clean. A
good plan is to wash off the limbs
clean at night with cloth and warm
water, wiping them dry. The com
fort to the horses only will we'll pay

Dairy.


If the butter comes in the churn in
fewer than 30 minutes, it is usually
at the expense of quality. Do not be
elated when patented machine is
warranted to bring butter in 10 or 10
minutes. Those who make gilt
edged butter churn so slowly and
carefully that the butter rarely
comes under 40 minutes.
Beware of damp floors in the
dairy room, for they not only de-
velop, but increase, organic fungoid
germs. A little lime scattered about
or placed in box in the dairy room
will absorb much of the surplus
moisture; but the first important
step is to see to the drainage, and
have it as perfect as possible.
A COW is largely Influenced by
training and habit, and any change
in custom in feeding or milking will
affect the milk flow. 1t is not a
good thing to have the cows eating
while being MIXED, but to change
the custom is to lose milk. We
must usually be content to have the
COW as she has been trained.
When food is scarce and prices
high margins of profit grow mar
rover; but competition drops out and
trade grows stronger, and profits are
just as sure as when times are flush.
1t is especially true of dairying that
time evens all things up.
The soiling crop list is large, but
this summer be ready to SOW a small
lot of barley about the LIST of August,
and IN about two months there will
be an abundant crop for the cows
which will afford pasturage until
shut off by the snow. Sow heavily

ter the oats crop has been fed off

Constant vigilance is absolutely

Havana brown is tint that will be fa-

Plaids and checks are having decided

which shows the peculiar effect achieved by
this style of decoration.
The gown itself Is Of gray cashmere and
Is trimmed with bands Of steel GALLON,
which are crossed and interviewer SO that
they form checks in front. The bodice is
plain at the back, but has a blouse front
and very short, full basque. The bodice
is ornamented with steel galloon in the
same style as Is seen on the skirt, and the
lower part Of the tight sleeves Is similarly
trimmed. The sleeves are slightly bouffant
at the top. The belt is covered with steel
galloon and fastened with steel buckle.

knots; 1873 torpedo boate, and 20 gun
boats and lighting sloops, total OF 20S
ships, ready for service. Germany is de-
tsrmined to be as great a power on water
as it is on land. Spain, as near bankrupt
as that nation ID, will make large sddi-
tions to its navy in the next ten years,
and will spend all the money that can be
borrowed for that purpose IN new ships.
England already has the most powerful
navy in the world, and new vessels are
being conttantly added.
BY reason of what was for years called
"water defenses" the United States has
paid but little attention to a navy, APP
parenty believing that when fighting
ships were needed they would spring out
of the harbors by magic; and much vain
glorious talk has been INDUCED in about
Americas ability to lick the rest of the
world, no matter how we'll prepared they
were for the conflict, or how illy-equipped
this nation might be. The fact is begin
ming to dawn upon the minds of the peo-
pie that the "water defenses" are really
an element of weakness which need
much strengthening in the way of coast
defensee, battle ships and floating bat
teries No other one country has 80 long
a sea coast or so many exposed cities as,
the United States, and in case of war the
damage hostile navies could inflict on the
land is incelculable. Another thing, and
one of vast importance which is now at
the mercy of unfriendly powers, is the
American interests in all parts of the
world, which should be protected.
For more than 80 years past this ma
tion has been at peace with the world,
and any and all mention of possible com-
plications with foreign powers that
might lead to war, have been laughed at;
false idea of economy has squandered
money on creeks and tom-fool canals like
water, while the defenses of our country
have been neglected. Statesmen of 9TH
er nations know these things as we'll as
any of the American officials, and know
ing have ceased to respect the rights of
Americans abroad, insulted the stars and
stripes, and then calmly asked, "What are
you going to do about itf" Might does
not make right, bat might commands re-
spect and consideration, no matter what
questions may be involved.
The United States needs navy which
in every respect shall be second to no
other on the seas. In that lies the future
integrity of our territory and our ability
to command the respect of other nations
under all circumstances. 1t is to be
hoped that when congress meets in De-
cember the members will recognize the
Importance of liberal appropriations for
the building of powerful navy, and
make them without any delay. The ma
ton can afford it, and demands it.

SINCE harvesting aid marketing the
wheat crop of 1897, the Kansas farmers
are getting so ALFRED independent that
there is no living with them. One of
these bloated bondholders, across whose
farm railroad runs, fenced the engine
out, and because the machine smashed
the obstacle to travel, the railroad com.
pany was yanked into court to show
cause why it should not be sent to jail
for contempt of fences. IL has been the
proper thing in Kansas, for some years
back, for farmers to (dis) cuss corpora
tions, but with plenty of money in the
bank the farmer has become the despoiler
of rights. It's long lane that has no
turn, and the railroad lane in the Sun
flower state seems to have had right
angle chucked into the middle of it.

AMERICAN pESPnIS.

1t will surprise many of the people of
the United States to know that this country
is ruled by auadrennial despot, but such
must be the case, since writer in the Lon
don National Review says it is. The writer
referred to, in speaking of the Cuban
question, says:
In America, however, there appears fire.
quently to be complete divorce on for.
eign questions between public opinions
and the quadrennlally elected despot.
The last despot declared that Cuba lay
within the American sphere of action,
and warned the other powers against
interference. They scquiesced. The poll
cy of the present despot has not yet
been revealed. We do not much be-
lieve in his alleged ultimatum, though
possibly he muy take some step which
will cause the Spanish people to boil
over.
1t would be very unseemely act for
"Despo~ Mckinley to make Spain boil
over. Some one might get scalded in
the operation.

American negro. When Bishop Gaines
theory is considered from any point OF
