sessions of Spain.
Current comment in many of the
leading journals is that this republic
should gain and keep Cuba, Porto
Rico, the PHILIPPINES, the Carolines,
and the Sandwich Islands. These
newspapers do not have the admins
tration of the government, but they
reflect public opinion, and public
opinion rules.
The war resolutions declared that
this government had no intention of
adding Cuba toits possessions. Now,
that the insurgents are not able to
give the assistance that was expected,
the argument is being used that since
the United States has paid the ex-
penses of the war, the prize should
also be ours.
Then about Hawaii. Speaker Reed
has stood out against their annexa'
ton, presumably for the same reason
that many thoughtful people have,
because of the fear that their acquisi
ton would lead to a policy of i'm
perialism. But fears of imperialism
are a back number. The annexation
of Hawaii is only circumstance as
compared with the momentous
dreams of "world power" now being
INDUCED in.
Porto Rico and the Carolines must
be seized, we are told, before treaty
of peace stops our conquering arms.
Such land grabbing hardly finds a
parallel in the grasping policy of
greedy Europe. The Spaniards call
the Americans hogs; "put yourself in
their place" and see how differently
things look.
But the PHILIPPINES raise the most
serious and pressing question. The
thunderings of the guns of Dewey's
fleet had hardly ceased to echo across
the harbor at Manila before the
American newspapers began to dis
cuss the permanent occupation of the
islands. The Pioneer Press called at
tention to the seriousness of the ques
ton, but that paper, too, seems lately
to have joined what we will call for
want of a better term, the imperial
policy party. The Minneapolis Times,
too, has taken a conservative stand,
but aside from these, none of the
prominent papers of the Northwest
have seemed to realize how fraught
with momentous affects the perman-
ent ac'. uisition of the PHILIPPINES
would be. 1t is truly difficult ques-
ton. To return the islands to Spain
would be criminal. They are not
ready for self-government. To dis
pose of them to any European power
would excite the jealousy of the 9th
ers. America will, of course, keep
them for the present, but let the in
tention be clear not to keep them as
permanent possession.
Then, most of all, an alliance with
England is proposed. This must not
be. A friendly Understandings
treaty of arbitration-will conserve
the interests of both nations. They
must stand shoulder to shoulder. But
an alliance means only another step
in departing from the "policy of isola
ton" of the fathers, which policy is
being SO much abused at present.
Whittier, then? Do the signs of
times point to the United States
adopting an imperial policy, an zen
tangling alliance policy? Will the
next few years show that the Amer
lean Republic, with it's ancient tradi-
tons of independence and non inter
ference, and with it's form of govern
ment utterly unfit for success in
international politics, and with it's own
declarations in the Monroe Doctrine

A MerfnO-Peralan Crosa.

At the agricultural department OF
the University of California an attempt
Is being made to establish a new breed
OF sheep by crossing Merino rams on
Persian ewes, says an exchange. The
object is to produce a breed with good
mutton qualities and having a heavy
fleece Of fine wool. The experiment
has been carried on only three years,
and those who are engaged in it are
not yet prepared to announce results.
though they are hopeful Of complete
success. 1t has been claimed for some
breeds that they are equal to the South
Downs as mutton sheep and to the
Merino in quantity and quality Of wool
production, but probably few dealers
are prepared to admit such claim. II
the California experiment should re-
suit in establishing distinct breed

teristics sought it will bring an i'm

breeding must be followed before the

The hard times and low prices q

tain Husbandman. When Il was hafl
to make ends meet in these pursuits
owners sought to make their stock
profitable by breeding the best In order
that they might get top prices. top
prices having always been remunera-
tive. When wool was lowest It was
sought to make mp for the loss In price

same las been the case In the produc-
ton OF beef and mutton. During the
past ten years there has been q marked
Improvement along this lire. and % the
years advance herds and iocks will
steadily decrease In size and improve
IN quality. We are aware that the idea
Is prevalent among many people that
one attempts to do anything with
cattle he must have two or three hum
dred head. but this is a mistake. A
nice profit can be made from forty head
OF cattle, or even less. The farmer.
1or instance, with a dozen milk cows
VINO can fatten five or six beef steers
every winter, will find that it will pay,
ana the time is coming when. instead
OF q man standing aloof from sheep
because he cannot own two or three or

not more than 1000 head will multiply

dozens OF small ranchmen produce
enough feed on $50 acres OF land to

Gays OF small herds and flocks. which
must come sooner or later. 1t will be
olnerent from the small owners Of ten
years ago. Then all sought to keep
their increase and become large own
ers. The man with a few milk cows
husbanded his herd until it became
large, and the small owner Of sheep
SO manipulated things as to keep his
increase and soon own a number Of
hocks instead Of one. but In the new
era men will follow tho industry Of
raising cattle and sheep and will dis
pose OF their increase every year. They
will, in fact, be so situated that they
will not have the facilities for caring
for increased numbers, and will there
fore be content with just what they
can care for. But even then the pur-
suit will pay and their bank accounts
will grow even more rapidly in proper.

to their increase. Just now. Of course,
there is a strong tendency towards
large fccks and herds, but this will be
OF short duration, and in the new order

may look for better breeding and far
better results, since stock handled in a

Abortion and MIX Fever.
In herds the best regulated and cared
tor there will occasionally occur q
physical accident or some sudden
fright that causes q COW to prema-
turely drop her calf. writes Henry E.
Alvord In Northwestern Agricultural.
The herds should be constantly watch
Cd for symptoms of abortion, which
VIII generally be recognized by the
experienced herdsmen. Should such
symptoms appear, the animals should
be Immediately removed to q hospital
until the case Is over or the signs dis
appear. In case abortion occurs in
stable, yard or pasture, despite pre-
cautions. and wholly without warning.
as Is sometimes the case, take the AMI
NAL to hospital at once and use every
exertion to thoroughly clean and dis
infect the place where the accident
occurred. The aborted COW should be
carefully nursed and the genital organs
freely dressed with antiseptic solu-
lions. The animal should not return
to the herd until fully cured, clean,
and free from all vaginal discharges.
Be on guard for second case follow
Ing the first in few days or within
three weeks; If month elapses, re-
currence is not to be expected. Vet
erinarians recognize two distinct kinds
OF abortion, viz, the sporadic, which is
hrst mentioned above as resulting
nhrc fv,iv n
fright, from disease of the uterus, or
from Sympathetic" influences, and the
epizootic contagious, which is I'M
doubtedly germ disease, communi-
Gated from animal to animal by the
germ and caused only by contagion.
There is still much uncertainty about
this dread disease and its prevention.
Milk fever, dropping" or parturient
spoplexy is another scourge of the
dairy, twin to abortion 1t is an at
lection which comes without warning,
attacks the deepest and richest milk
ers, Is sudden in attack, rapid in
progress, and generally fatal. The
symptoms are chill, twitching of the
head muscles, failure to eat, chew the
cud or pass manure, distended udder
without milk, insensibility Of the hind
quarters when pinched or pricked;
later the cow becomes unsteady on her
hind legs, and presently drops. Good
cows should be carefully watched for
forty-eight hours after calving, and II
such warnings appear, a veterinarian
can not be called too soon. Proven
tive measures form the best assurance
of the owner against losses from this
cause. The COW should have abundant
exercise up to the week before calv-
ing, and then quiet and good care, with
daily grooming and active rubbing.
Keep the bowels active with proper
feed, or purgatives If necessary. In
sure comfort. guard against cold, and
endeavor to maintain active circula-
ton on the surface Of the body. A
strong dose of physic and brisk groom
ing may be used Immediately after
in case Of cows believed to be
to milk fever.
