European countries are finding
that where pure, clean food Is given
to hogs in clean pens and boiled wa
ter only is supplied, they are not
troubled with cholera The germ
theory explains hog cholera, and we
know that where hogs are allowed
to drink filthy water that cholera in
some form will develop.
Get the bears aud sOws in good
breeding condition early; litter of
pigs in March is worth much more
than one in May. To get strong,
healthy pigs, both sire aud dam
must be in perfect health at the
time of mating. Do not turn the
boars loose with. the sOws, but let
them give single service and shut
them away for the day, and your lot
of off spring will be the better for it.
If you can manage to have all the
pigs come about the same time 1t Ia
easier to take care Of them, and
there will be more even growth.

There are no infexible rules in
feeding, for each animal has its own

each hundred pounds of weight in

EARLY blowing allows the late
frost to pdlveriz4 the soil, and the
ground may be turned when there is
more water in it than would be al
lowable later. Where sod is to be

cold weather of early spring kill off

horticulture.


Trees set out late in the spring
may grow, but those planted earlier
will do better. Often the ground
may be plowed during the winter,
and the necessary manure applied;
the orchard should be planned and
stakes set where the trees are to go,
and, if the soil is porous or we'll
drained, the holes may be dug at
any time. Then, when the trees are
set out, not only label them, but
have plat which will show you at
any time what variety is growing
on any given spot.
Berries can not be grown and
marketed as easily as wheat, corn or
potatoes, but, like gardening, re-
quire the greatest concentration of
good soil, labor and study. With
berries. ordinary farm methods are
not sufficient.
Cherry trees differ from others in
that they do not seem to require
cultivation; those which stand in
dry places and are surrounded by
grass seem to do better than those
in the field or garden. In the gar
den they seem to either get too
much moisture or too much manure.
Next summer If we give more
attention to cultivation ia the berry
patch, we shall hear less complaint
of the damage from the drouth.
Tobacco stems are cheap, and it is
we'll to buy them and mix with the
horse manure in the compost. They
contain no small per cent. of nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and phos-
phorous, and make an excellent
plant food, especially for garden and
fruit crops.
Trim the grapes before the sap
starts and at any time during the
winter when the vines are not frozen.
Ounces sell well, and the bushes
occupy but little ground; they are
easily cultivated, and grow we'll on
most good soils. Prune them as
vigorously as you do any other tree.

A Hawaiian Denied Naturalization

One day last week a native Of Ha-
waii made application to the district
court 10 this city for his final
naturalization papers. 1t seems that
he took out his first papers in 1892,
and then took up a homestead in
Toole county, where he has resided
ever since. He was refused final
papers by Judge Hiles, as the
territorial supreme court in a case
which came before it in 1889 held
that under the naturalization laws a
native Of the Hawaiian islands could
not becoms citizen OF the United
States.
This particular case is doubly
interesting because there is now be-
fore the senate for consideration
a treaty for the annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands, native of which
has just been refused naturalization
by the courts. 1t is certainly an
anomalous condition of affairs that
our naturalization laws deny
citizenship TO the natives OF the
islands it is proposed to annex, If
it is desirable that the Hawaiians be
not granted the privilege Of acquir-
ing citizenship though naturaliza-
ton, is it desirable that they acquire
it though annexation7 And If it is
desirable that they acquire it
though annexation, is it not equally
as desirable that they acquire it
through naturalization? We think
it is likely that the annexation treaty
will be ratified, but il should not be,
would those members of congress
who favor it favor amending the
naturalization laws 30 that native
Hawaiians could avail themselves
OF them? OF course, the policy Of
the government on the naturaliza.
ton question was fixed before that
OF annexation como up, but to the
native Hawaiian mind the situation
must appear to be one OF strange
contradictions. Ii we annex the
islands we shall have to take the
ISLANDERS with them whether or no
the islands are desirable.-SaH Lake

The Plans of Congress.

Boston, Mass, April IA Wash
ington special says: The Foreign
Relation Committee Of the Senate
are already at work on the resolu-
tions which are to be response to
the Presidents message. Before the
resolutions are reported the House
committee will be consulted so that
the two branches OF Congress may
act in complete harmony.
The resolutions will recognize the
independence of Cuba. They will
declare that Spain must quit the
island and they will authorize and
direct the executive to employ the
entire military and naval forces OF
the United States to carry the reso-
lutions into effect. This is the pro-
bable framework, although it may
be somewhat amended.
But Of equal Importance with the
resolution will be the preamble, and
in this preamble Congress will call
attention to the destruction of the
Maine and will give this greatest OF
wrongs a place in the recent offenses
for which Spain is to be called to
account
1t will be found when the books
are made up by Congress that the
Maine incident is not regarded as a
matter OF minor Importance. There
will be no further diplomatic repre-
sensations by the United States
This may be set down as certain.
