There is grain OF truth in the asser-
ton humoruusiy put forth by western
paper that Lying Is expected in a poll
ticiRn as much as in q circus man. a
hunter or n fisherman, and nobody
pays any more attention to it." The
writer had in view those who are de-
scribed by the word politician" in its
deprecatory sense. But in a republic
every man should be a politician. tax
ing the word in its primary and best
meaning. No one would say in seri-
business that every man should be uu-
truthful regarding his political acts and
purposes. Even a dipiomatist should
not be liar. One OF the greatest OF
those said that he made IL a rule al
ways to tell the truth. that, since no
one would believe him. 1t served the
purpose OF diplomacy better than
silence or evasion. Besides, he kept his
conscience clear.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Continue feeding milch COWS for some
time after turning on the pastures.
Milk is elaborated from the blood
as it passes through the glands Of the
udder.
Souring milk is a process of thick
ening, which finds it's complete fulfill
ment in lOppered milk.
A writer says that five dollars worth
of bran is worth $25 worth of dog to
bring the cows home; and we believe
him.
\ A prominent dairy journal states
that "if tuberculosis is a germ disease,
as all authorities have come to accept,
then 1t cannot be hereditary"
Oleomargarine has displaced $SS,OOO,-
900 worth of pure butter in the United
States. How much has it enhanced
the price of beef tallow, it's chief in
gredient?
Calves intended for the dairy ought
never to be fed in such manner as to
accumulate fat or to establish predis-
position to- lay on fat. They need food
that will form bone and muscle to ex-
pand their frames and fit them to take
and digest large quantities of food dur
ing their future lives.-Rural World.

that wholesale destruction Of property
ON the island, which, making no dis
criminstion between enemies and
neutrals, is utterly destroying American
investments that should be Of immense
value, and is utterly impoverishing great
numbers Of American citizens. On all
these grounds and in all these ways the
interest Of the United States in the
existing situation in Cuba yields in ex-
tent only to that Of Spain herself, and
has led many good and honest persons
to insist that Intervention to terminate
the conflict is the immediate and i'm
perstiYe duty Of the United States"
He said his purpose was not at that
time to suggest intervention, but that
the United States could not contemplate
with complacency another ten years Of
Cuban insurreCtion. His suggestion
looked to find a way "to cooperate
with Spain in the immediate pacifcation
Of the island on such plan as, leaving
Spain her right Of sovereignty, shall yet
give TO the people OF the island all rights
Of gelf-government they can reasonably
ask"
Mr.. Olney then suggests that neither
Spain nor the Cubans can reasonably OBJ
ject to this intervention, and adds that
il anything is to be done it should be
done at once and on Spain's initiative.
In closing, he says the communication
is prompted by the friendliest feeling to-
ward Spain and the Spanish people, and
adds:
"To attribute to the United States any
hostile or hidden purposes would be
grave and most lamentable error. The
United States has no designs upon Cuba
and no designs against the sovereignty
of Spain"

yith other roots:

The above is taken from the Ameri-
can Corn and Hog Journal. The nutri-
ton Of an artichoke is in the form of
sugar, therefore always ready for use
on the part of the eater. One acre will
keep from 20 to 30 head Of hogs dur
ing the winter months. / find that low
black soil, land which is too frosty for
many crops, is fine soil for the arti-
choke, for freezing will not injure
them.
They often yield on good land as high
as 800 bushels per acre. There is vast
difference in artichokes. The native
or wild kind is worthless, while the
improved variety is of great value. 1

largely in France for domestic use as
we'll as for stock. Some time ago they
were introduced into this country and
close cultivation has proven them to
be q sure and profitable crop for this
country.
l have been experimenting with them
for over five years in the way of culti-
waiting, harvesting, feeding and keep
ing over winter. They are very profit
able because no insect, blight or rust
has yet struck them, and the tops make
a fodder superior to corn when proper

GROWING OF BERRIES.
Eternal Vigilance and Work In tho
Price Of SupceRW.


Price OF Success.
The growing of q berry calls into
action some of the most wonderful laws
Of nature. In the growth of plants we
find these laws in perfection. We also
find In various forms a complete supply
of every element required for the full
development Of both plant and fruit.
Nature gives all these products without
stint. She simply asks In return that
we assist her in some Of the smaller de-
tails OF the work. She asks that the soil
be made rich and well prepared; that
the plants be of good quality and care
fully set out; that frequent hoeing and
cultivation be given; that plants be pro-
tected from winter frosts and summer
drought; that no insect pest or fungus
disease find an abiding place with them;
that you treat them as friend and love
them as a brother. Both pleasure and
profit come in greatest measure from
closest attention to all these details. Ma
ture furnishes almost every good with
a prodigal hand, but she Is q niggard to
him who will not work in her ways. You
cannot cheat her in farm or garden.
You cannot get something for nothing.
These are days of progress. Every line
Of business must advance with the
times, or drop to the rear. The farmer
has been the laggard, The safest, the
surest, the most ancient and the most
honorable business OH earth should be
in the most progressive ranks. An army
of best newspapers are stationed all
along the agricultural highway, to
guard us from error and direct us to sue
cess. We cannot afford to be without
them. Read theml Study them! Ex-
pertinent in a moderate way, give extra
preparation and cultivation to certain
tracts, and mark results, as compared
with ordinary tillage. Observe results Of
similar experiments on your neighbors'
farms. Compare notes with them and
reason together. Extend like expert
ments to the seeds you SOW, the stock
you grow, and trees, plants and shrubs
you set. Such experiments are almost
sure to lead to more careful selection Of
seed, stock and plants, and to more
thorough cultivation of the soil and bet
ter results every way from farm, fruit
and garden.--M. A. Thayer, in Prairie

Turnips Hurt MIX Flavor.

At the Iowa station it was found that
turnips injure the flavor of both milk
and butter, This injury is due to vola-
tile acids, which can be driven off by
heating the milk to 16O degrees for a
short time. Beets increased the milk
and butter product, and caused all the
cows, even Jerseys, to lay on fat quite
rapidly. When the roots were discon-
tinued butter fat decreased and the
cows ceased to gain weight, and it took
more pounds of feed Calculated to dry
matter) to produce pound of butter.
When turned on pasture there was inn
mediate increase Of milk, butter and
live weight. Feeding bran during part

pend largely on pruning and try not
to leave too many fruit buds or too

on the new wood 1t Is necessary to

to stimulate growth Of new wood. My
trees are five years old. They yield
ed about eight tons per acre last year

The Sandwich Islands.

Since the alliance between England

offensive and defensive. England is
using Japan to rob the United States
Of her rlghtful interests in the Sand
witch Islands. England has combined
Chile, Peru, China and Japan against
the United States. These governments
in connection with Australia, all under
the influence and dictation of Great
Britain, deprived the United States of
a friend in the Pacific ocean. The
only outpost which is left is the COLONY
which the United States planted in the
Sandwich Islands many years ago.
The attempt to mix the question of
the right of the United States TO an
mex the Sandwich Islands with adj
vantage or disadvantage to the sugar
trust IL a sad commentary upon the de-
cay of Am~ericanism on the North
American continent. If the United
States expects to have any influence in
the Pacific ocean or to enjoy the trade
of any country in that great ocean, our
government must assert itself as an in
dependent, progressive commercial ma
ton. In point of commerce, in point
Of military protection, in point of in
%fluence, and from every standpoint
which a great and proud nation can
view such a question, the annexation
of the Sandwich Islands is paramount
to all other considerations connected
