Game birds never did, and probably
never will, form more than very
small part of this country's food sup
ply, so there is no such need as exists
in the case of fish for propagating
them at public expense. Notwith-
standing that fact, the proposition to
extend the field Of operations of the
fish commission, so that it may apply
to the problem of increasing the num-
Der Of birds the methods that are sue
ceeding so we'll with fish, is one to be
highly commended, in the opinion of
the New York Times. TO do so would
result in some direct profit to the peo-
pie, and in much that is indirect. The
Incidental expense would be infnites-
imal.

Stock papers published in different

ming to see the end Of the present
method of handling cattle, notes the
Sioux Falls IS. d. Argus. The in.
creasing number of new settlers is
forcing the breaking up oflarge herds,
and the ''little men" with from fifty
to 200 head Of cattle, giving them
continued care, are the ones who are
bound to be in on the finish, while
the large herders will be working at a
loss. When that period arrives there
will be not so many cattle kings, but
the aggregate number Of cattle in the

better care they receive, the better
grades will bring more wealth to the
country than comes under the present

AVeteran Parrot.

The ''Daniels parrot" that died in
st. Johnsbury, VT, the other day,
was fifty-one years old. He was taken
from the nest when very young, and
lived for fourteen years on the Isthmus
OF Panama. For seven years he was
with the Spaniards in Mexico on cat
tie ranch, and spoke Spanish we'll.
He spent eleven years on a steamboat
crossing the Gulf of Mexico; three
years with the Wise family, in st.
Johnsbury, and for the last fifteen
years with the Daniels family, who re-
ceived an offer of $50 for him six years
ago from the managers of Barnum's
circus. He laughed and seemed very
bright almost to the time of his death.

Macon is running municipal farm
and doing it successfully, too. 1t is a
small one, comparatively, comprising
sixty acres, and it is devoted to the
raising Of food for the fifty horses and
mules which the city uses in work on
the streets. When not otherwise en-
ployed these animals are used in
working the farm, while the manure
from the city stables fertilizes it. Under
these conditions the only cost in
operation is for the labor employed in
planting and harvesting. From forty
acres Of oats crop of $500 bushels,
Of al estimated value of $3.50, is ex-
.pected this season. In addition $4,000
worth Of hay is looked for from the
other twenty acres. From measured
sore of land last year there was cut
54OO pounds Of fine hay. This was
after forty-bushel crop of oats had
been harvested, and nearly enough to
make certain another cutting of hay
before frost. 1t had long been the
custom of the city to rent this land at
SIS an acre. Now its value in annual
product is figured at over $50 per
acre

Mark Twain, writing Of the Queens
jubilee, says that the most remarkable
thing that has happened during Vic
toria's long reign is the increase in
the number of English-speaking peo-
pie. When the present Queen Of Eng
land was born, seventy eight years
ago, there were only 100000 Eng
lish speaking people in the world; now
there are more than 1928, 900, 900. No
such rapid spread Of language was
ever known before. The great Eng.
disappearing nations and their popu-
lations are as follows: 80
County Population.
United States, $4,000. 900
United Kingdom, 100000
Canada, 5000, 900
Australia and New Zealand, 5000 900
In Asia, Africa and elsewhere, 5000, 900
Total, 12S,O0o, 900
The greatest increase in the num-
Der Of English-speaking people has
not been in the Queens domain, but
in the country which cut loose from
English rule. The. population of the
United States in 1920, when Queen
Victoria was 2 years old, was only
9,633,S25. 1t has increased more
than seven and one-half times since
then. In 1921 the population of the
United Kingdom was 81, 272,1S It
has scarcely doubled in the seventy
six years that have since interviewed.
England, it is true, has made remark
able progress during Victoria's reign,
but the progress of this republic in
population and all other respects has
been far more wonderful.

Could we 'begin again."
And yet, how vain the asking!
Life's duties press oil OF us on,
And who would shrink from the burden,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone?
And it may be not far on before us
Wait places fairer than then:
Our paths may yet lead by still waters,
Though we may not "begin again."
Yes, upward and onward forever
Be our paths on the hills oflife,

Will glorify trial and strife,

RIVERA TO BE SHOT

CHICAGO, June 18.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says :
Spain is to be brought to terms.
General Stewart L. Woodford, the
new minister to Spain, after dining
with President Mckinley last night,
spent the evening at the White House.
He received instructions as to his work
in the Spanish capital, for which he
will start in a week or two.
General Woodford's task is divided
into three parts. His first mission will
be to present demand for reparation
and indemnity for the death of Dr..
Ruiz. His second task is to prepare
the Spanish government. for the ine-
vitable, and the inevitable i5 the loss
of Cuba as colony. The third phase
of his work is the presentation of a
distinct proposal from the United
States as to the disposition of Cuba.
President Mckinley also instructed
General Woodford toimpress upon the
public men at Madrid these vital
points:
l. The United States is not actu-
ated by an unfriendly feeling toward
Spain.
2. The United States does not desire
to take advantage of Spain's troubles
with her colony to bring about the
annexation of Cuba to this country.
8. But unless Spain will herself
make a move toward meeting the in
evitaple toward giving Cuba freedom,
the United States will be compe lied to
interfere and in the case of interven-
tion annexation might naturally follow.

IN THE EVENT OF WAR.
Canovas says Spain is Capable of Risin

Canovas says Spain is Capable of Rising
to the Emergency.
NEW YORK. June 20.-A dispatch
from Madrid to the Herald says:
Premier Canovas declared yesterday
that in the event of conflict between
the United States and Spain, the latter
country was capable of rising to the
emergency.
General Woodford's expected ar
rival awakens considerable specula-
tion, since it is known here that from
the date of his confirmation, he is al
lowed 80 days to receive instructions,
aud 80 days for the journey to Madrid.
Her majesty makes it an invariable
rule that foreign ministers shall
neither take leave nor be presented at
San Sebastian, since facilities are
wanting for the requisite ceremonial
and the royal family wishes complete
retirement. So, normally, Mr.. Wood
ford cannot present his credentials
until October l, when the court re-
turns to Madrid. If the usual course
is followed of fastening Woodford
here, or of pressing for a reception
ahead of time, Spain will regard it as
an effort to precipitate events.

VIII Try It Again.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-President
Mckinley has determined to revive
the general treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. He has already turned his
attention to the subject, and under the
direction of Secretary Sherman, the
matter has progressed to the extent
that a new treaty has already been
drafted to serve as the basis of negotia-
tions. In the draft which is to be used
as the basis there are said to be none
of the Objectionable points which
caused the failure of the Olney treaty.
1t is not in contemplation that the
treaty will be submitted to the senate
before next December. and there is
