FACTS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES

Area-The Philippines cover 114.'26
square miles all but 1900 square miles
Of the total Asiatic colonial possessions
OF Spain. They are small with the ex-
ception of Luzon. Luzon, or Lucon, as
it is called in Spanish. has an area Of
AO,O24 square miles, has population of
more than 5OOO.Q goo and is the source Of
the largest revenue from these islands.
Mindanao is the second largest island in
the proup. and has an area Of $3.50
square miles.
Population-The population lie about
100000. This includes the Spanish
army and navy. The native inhabitants
are of the Malay race. and there are q
few tribes of Negritoe. One-seventh OF
the people have never been conquered
by Spain. The native Malays. or Tsga.
days have been crossed with the Spanish
and a large part Of the people are half
breeds. These. like the Cubans. hate
the Spanish and have worked with the
natives to throw of the Spanish yoke.
Cities-Manila is the capital OF the
islande and OF Luxon. 1t 10 the largest
city and has . population Of 154.062.
Other important towns are Laoag, D,642;
Lipa. 434Os; Bsnang. $3.50, and Batan-
gas. 1851.

were told when war was declared that
SPANS ships and guns were far su'
periOr to those OF America, that the
land that Columbus discovered was
still inhabited by primitive uncivil-
lied race which scarcely knows what a
bull fight Is. Among the immigrants
to this country there have been few
Spaniards; most Of those who are here
arrived by way of Mexico and after a
residence there long enough to have
weakened associations with the
mother country. The peasant Of Ger
many or Italy or Sweden could not be
deceived about the resources Of this
country for their sons and daughters
are a: work here and In constant COM
municatiOn with their relatives across
the sea. Therefore the American
naval victories are a surprise to the
common people who have relied upon
the educated classes for information
concerning America. The Madrid
riots are partly in consequence Of the
deception which the people feel has
been practiced upon them. The peO-
pie are in revolt against the order OF
society and against its character.
The fact that there are so few Span
ish emigres indicates the strength of
Spanish patriotism. The Spanish
sailors who in the harbor of Manila
nailed their colors to the mast and
went down in their iron ship, for an
ideal, showed that they loved the
peninsula called Spain enough to die
for it rather than pull down the flag
which stands for it. Such identified
tion OF themselves with the land Of
their birth declares the Spanish peas
ant an idealist, starved and wronged
by national customs, government, and
a medieval system Of caste, into the
likeness of a brute. Under a different
social and governmental system, our
brother OF Spain would have been as
susceptible to the effect Of evolution
as any bOOrish American of us all.
President Norton is said to have re-
ferred to Americans as "a set OF
Doors" Well, We are in masses and
absolutely. But comparatively, to
the Spaniards, for instance, we are
gentle and refined. They love cruelty
and bloOdshed as spectacle, they
have no contemporary literature or
drama worth recording, nor primary
schools or universities since the days
OF Salamanca. they have not a love of
liberty, they have no capacity for or
inclination to self government. They
come short Of all the standards, of con-
temporary civilization except in music.
The inquisition is no longer a Spanish
institution because neigbbor nations
would not allow it. Spanish CathOl-
cism is as intOlerant, bigOted and
cruel as ever. On the other hand.
though, as Americans, in masses our
manners are disgustingly boorish and
selfish, measured by the standards
which establish the degree Of civiliza.
tiOn there is no other nation as ad
vanced along the path indicated by
what evolution has already accom- :
plished. In religious federation,
though still nothing to boast of. in
morality, in education, in the form Of

lege says we are a nation Of Doors and
measured by Christs' standards we are
But so long as We are the best there
is college professors might as well I'M
derstand that We are not going to get
of the earth because we are not polite.
The charge of cowardice made
against President Eliot and Professor
Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard col
lege and Professor Hodgman of the
Nebraska university because they have
publicly expressed disapprOval OF the
present war is rather foolish. No one
lacking bravery could decide to oppose
the spirit Of war expressed by the
hundreds Of young college men in this
country. They possess the enthu-
siasm which sent out the knights
Of old with VOW to rescue
the oppressed and incidentally
run the oppressor through. With an
unquestiOning faith in the righteous
ness Of the cause the young men have
responded to the presidents call with
the purity and devotion that belongs
to youth. To chide these volunteers
and explain TO them that they have
enlisted in an unworthy cause requires
convictions Of infallibility SO deeply
set as not to be disturbed by the IN
popularity sure to be suffered by any
one who expresses a doubt OF the
cause. To be sure war seems a foolish,
illogical, cruel way Of settling dis
pute, but SO far in the history of the
world the highest and best civiliza
tiOns have been able to conquer the
undeveloped or backward races and
establish a protectOrate over them.
1t is questionable if Professors Nor
ton, Eliot or Hodgman would stand by
and reason with a smaller man who
was abusing his 1.-THE professor's) wife
or children, or if he would agree to an
arbitration while the man was still
abusing his family. Under such cir
cumstances the professors fists would
be unrestrained by philosophy or con-
sideratiOns as to the smaller size of
his child's tormentor. By the time
arbitration in the shape Of the patrol
wagon arrived the small man, who
represents Spain torturing and starv-
ing Cuba, would be battered into in
sensibility. Literary men are so COS.
mOpOlitan, they read French, Spanish,
Italian and German until their ma
tiOnal prejudices are weakened. With
out any effort they are able to look at
questions from the point Of view Of a
foreigner. They are denationalized
and exult in it so much that they are
apt to overlook the virtues OF prOvin-
cialism or patriotism. TheosOphy has
also done much to destroy the contempt
which one nation has for another
Founded on sympathy and fraternity,
terms Of contempt such as dagos,
cOOns, paddles, greasers, etc, and the
provincial point Of view which in.
spired them. are taboOed by theosOphy.
In the last analysis the professors are
right. The only question is whether
they are not little previous in sup
posing that the period Of universal
peace has arrived.

was contrary to the Bible, yet it is re.

History-The Philippines have been
subject to Spain since 1860. but it was
not until 1923 that Spanish rule was
finally acknowledged. To this day the
Negrito tribes in Mindanao have no
communication with the Spanish.
Taxation-The Spanish have been
severe and the natives
have been oppressed by fearless cruel
ties which Spain alone knows bow to in
flict. The income tax has been collected
from persons who have no incomes, and
the poll tax is enormous and cruel.
Rebeliion-The insurrection came two

have suffered have been Undesirable,

The horrors Of Spanish rule in the Phil
ippines are inconceivable to civilized
minds. Still. the insurrectlonists have
been fairly successful, and in the few
fights that have taken place the Spanish

Live Stock Points.

In breeding animals particular care should be taken to mate them properly. How to do this is something which can only be learned through experience with individual animals, watching results closely.
 When young steers are started in to fatten, they will eat l2 to l5 pounds of hay day each, besides all the grain | they want. As they become fat, how ever, their appetite diminishes, and they will only consume from to 10 pounds daily. They should be made to eat as much hay or fodder as possible along with their grain feed It is economical, and it is good Cor them.
 Market horses are divided into five | classes by buyers and exporters, and every animal must go into one of them. Glass No. l is in all cases well bred horse of good color, standing from l6 to 16n hands, weighing from l, 200 to l, 300 pounds, with fine style and ac- tion, smooth head and neck, short back, smooth hips, round barrel, plenty of bone and substance, good feet and good | quality in every way, we'll broken, with good disposition. The higher the action with quality the more money he will bring. This class ranges in price from S100 to S400.
 Keep account of how much it costs to feed and take care of each sheep on the average. Then if you can sell your sheep for 1 cent pound over the cost of feed and care you make a profit on the sheep; otherwise not.
 An Iowa man bought some Cotswold xSCs two years ago at S3 a head. He l:eI them till they raised two crops of lambs for him and sold them for S4. 25 apiece The first year their fieeces aver aged 1l1a pounds. the second year l2 each. One crop of lambs from them brought S5. 50 per 100 pounds, the other 80. 50. All the owner did to fatten them was to give them corn husks and timo thy hay and let them run ill the yards where he was fattening cattle. They picked up corn enough for themselves around the troughs. That man did not lose anything on his ewes, did he?
 One acre of alfalfa will keep ten sheep through the summer if it is cut and fed to them.
 Results of experiments in feeding in England show that the Red Poll cat tie make as large beeves and fatten as economically as the distinctively beef breeds. As Red Poll cows are also good milk animals, this seems to be the best breed for farms on which it is not con venient either to have a purely beef or purely dairy breed of cattle.

CORN AND HORSES.
Great American Cereals High Place as
 Food For Working Teams.

Great American Cereals High Place as
 Food For Working Teams.
 Professor Thomas Shaw writes as fol- lows:
 "Corn is deserving of higher place as grain food for work horses than is generally accorded to it and of a higher place than the chemist would assign to it The chemist speaks of it as contain. ing too much starch to make it suita- ble food for feeding to horses, especially in warm weather. Or if the chemists do not say that many who have written on this subject say it for them, after they have taken the analysis of the chemists as the basis of their remarks. But the facts do not sustain those state- ments, since Illinois. Iowa and other corn states have good, sound. healthy horses, speaking relatively, and when at work their chief grain food is corn. Much of the prejudice that exists against corn as food for horses has doubtless arisen from the i'll effects that have come from feeding it when not in perfectly wholesome condition. In many instances it does not properly mature, especially i'll the northern states. When it does so mature, it is likely to mold more or less, even when the mold on the exterior surface of the corn is not apparent to the eye. Such corn is not wholesome, and dealers sometimes grind it to hide traces of mold. Such meal should not be fed to horses. The man who feeds it on the cob knows best what he is feeding. On the other hand, the fact should not be overlooked that corn is not nearly so good food for immature colts and brood mares as oats and bran, since it has not enough of the phosphates in it to build up the horse properly or enough protein to build up the flesh"

Forage Crops For Hogs

One of the best forage crops you can sow for hogs is oats and peas. la bushel of oats and one bushel of peas per acre.
 Fit the ground we'll and as early in the spring as possible. Sow the peas broad. cast and cover with cultivator. Tho cats may then be drilled ill or sown broadcast and narrowed in. For 25 hogs you should have at least six acres of land that can be devoted to the raising of forage. The accompanying diagram will explain how the succession of green forage may be secured. In the second sowing barley is substituted for the oats, because it is less likely to be injured by rust. At the Cornell expert ment station the past season plots of barley and peas remained in good con- dition for feeding until Dec. 1. This diagram shows three plots of two acres

Weakness of Philosophy.
 Again, I remark that all those per sons are incompetent to give any kind of comfort who act merely as worldly philosophers They come ill and say: "Why, this is what you ought to have expected. The laws of nature must have their way" And then they get eloquent over something they have seen ill post mortem examinations. Now, away with all human philosophy at such time What difference does it make to that fa- ther and mother what disease their son died of? He is dead, and 1t makes no difference whether the trouble was in the epigastric or hypogastric region. If the philosopher be of the stoical school, he will come and say: You ought to control your feelings. You must not cry so. You must cultivate cooler temper ament. You must have self reliance, self government, self control'-an ice berg reproving a hyacinth for having drop of dew ill its eye.
