PRAISE OUR PRESIDENT.
HOnOred by Patriotic Americans md
Admired by Discerning
Foreigners.

President Mckinley, by the mastery
manner in which he has handled the
Spanish war problems, has thoroughly
engrafted himself in the confidence of
all the people, and even those who were
most bitter in their denunciation of his
course of action six weeks ago are now
enthusiastic in his support. He has not
only won every patriotic American over
to his methods, but his wise course Of
action has commanded the respect OF
the nations abroad, and he is receiving
praise from all over the world. The Lon
don Spectator, paper which is not
given to indiscriminate and superfu-
Gus praise, speaks of President McKin-
ley as follows:
AT present II looks very much Is II Pres
ddent Mckinley were going to turn out one
OF the public men who are remade and IL
Illuminated by the force of the mighty issues
with which they have to deal. All the ac-
counts from Washington seem to show that
the president Is facing very difficult prob
lem with Just the quiet dignity and strength
which one would desire to see displayed by
the head Of the state.
IF the accounts we have quoted are we'll
founded II would seem that the president
has been able to face the situation In the
true spirit IL he can, America should be
grateful. for In spite of her vast power
and SPANS weakness, America may yet
find the need of the cool head and the
steady hand. There seems a tendency
among the people Of the United States to
call for quick successes. II this temper
continues and Increases II may require all
the presidents frmness, tact and temper
to pursue his own course. The attempt to
gain quick successes is sure to lead to a
fiasco, but 1t may require a man of perfect
calm and self-possession not to be carried
away by the excitement and the demand for
instant action. Our own belief Is that Mr..
Mckinley will prove equal to the crisis"

The pheasant of the Mongolian kind
will in few short years succeed the
quail as the popular American game
bird. The pheasant has not only its
toothsome qualities to recommend it,
but its beauty, in waving plumage Of
ravishing hues, and therefore will
prove prize that every sportsman
will endeavor to secure when the sea-
son is once open for its slaughter. IT
has unduly attracted the attention of
our sporting gentlemen for many years
in consequence of its successful in
PRODUCTION on the Pacific Slope, and
now many Eastern States are introduc-
ing the Mongolian bird into their
domains. In Ohio alone over 20C
birds were liberated this year, and in
several Southern and Eastern States
the bird has been introduced foi
breeding purposes.

Hence, TO breed these birds success
fully it is essential that cock be'pro-
videl for each hen.
1.-The Mongolian pheasant is n
prairie bird and is seldom found in or
about the timber. He likes the tall
grass, ferns, wheat stubbles and low
bushes, such rs the wild rose and the
buckbrush. After the young birds
reach full growth they do not congre-
gate in large focks, rs do the prairie
chickens, but are found alone, in
pairs, or in,small hocks of five or six.
They feed on grain, insects and green
vegetables, such rs red clover, cab
bage, etc. These birds are great
favorites with sportsmen. The mag
nificent plumage of the cock almost
rivals that of the peafowl in beauty.
His prevailing colors are gold and
bronze. with touches of black. He
also has n clear white ring about the
neck. The head and upper half OF
the neck have blush green of change
able shade, similar to that of the NAL
lard duck.

Quality OF Corn Fodder.

There is much difference in original
character of corn fodder as well as in
that made in curing. Only that which
mas matured far enough to tassel
should be put up for winter feed, and
II 1t has been planted thinly enoughto
furnish some nubbins not only the
grain will help, but the quality of the
stalk will be improved. Farmers have
often noticed that the husked stalks
were eaten by cows in preference to
Ihe thin, watery and tasteless stalks
pf corn sown for fodder. The COW
knows what is best for her. No corn
'or fodder should ever be sown. It
should be drilled, and will be all the
better il drilled not 80 closely as to
prevent all caring. At its best fodder
,orn is full of water when harvested,
and unless the farmer is willing to do
good deal of lifting for nothing he
should make the fodder rs nutritious
as it can be grown.

Feeding Fowls In winter.

One of the reasons why hens do not
lay in cold weather is because they
then get their food with too little ex-
ercise. During the summer the fowls
are obliged mostly to care for them
selves. They get great variety of
food, eating slowly and taking much
exercise while they are filling mp. In
the winter they have only one or two
kinds of food, usually grain, and this
is put in mass before them SO they
can fill themselves at once. Then the
fowls stand idly by while the food di-
gests. This would be Just what is
wanted if the fowls were to be fattened.
In fact, the hens thus fed do fatten
and thus become unfit to lay. II any
eggs are formed they are apt to be with
thin shells, the result of fattening and
lack Of exercise. Give the hens only
small grain, oats or wheat, or better
still, mixture of both. Oats only ore
not heavy enough food for fowls in
cold weather. The chaff of oats fills
their crops so that they cannot get
enough nutrition. Then il this grain
is buried in mass of cut straw, and
the hens are obliged to scratch for u
living, as they do in summer, instead
of being moping and dull, their lively
prating will be heard all through the
day, their combs will become red, and
if kept warmly enough they will 10y

mer season. Boston Cultivator.

done to test her staying qualities.
The eggs should then be placed under
the hen at night time, after removing
the hens eggs.
Food and water should be placed in
the runway so the hen can subsist
during incubation. !
The eggs should be examined every
day, and for this purpose the lid or
roof of the box should be lifted willie
the hen is ont in the runway, so that
none become broken or soiled. Should
any of the eggs become soiled from
broken eggs or otherwise, they should
be cleansed by taking rag wet with
tepid water and wiping them, but do
not place the eggs in water.
1t takes from twenty-five to twenty
four days for the eggs to hatch.
After the eggs have been under the
hen twenty days, they should be
sprinkled with lukewarm water twice
a day. This is necessary in order to
aid the young birds to leave the shell.
The runway and box should fit close
to the ground 10 prevent the young
birds from leaving, as they will surely
leave the hen as soon as they are out
of the shell. unless this precaution is
needed. The hen and Young birds
should be kept closely in the box for
twenty-four hours after they are
Matched, and should not be allowed to
have either food or drink. At the end

In recent article in Recreation, o

pheasant which was introduced into

from China and which has attracted
the attention Of hunters throughout
the IUnitod States. Mr.. Miller says
Of this interesting bird:

Weatern Oregon, it outnumbers any

Meal and Skim MIX.

The Iowa station has been making
experiments in adding different kinds
of meal to skim milk in fattening
calves and have apparently had ex-
cellent success. The meals used were
oil meal with cost of 2.S cents per
pound of growth; another oatmeal
costing 81. and with cornmeal and
ten per cent. faxseed costing % per
pound OF growth. They do not seem
to have tried Aaxmeal alone. From
the account have in the Rural New
Yorker, no statement is made of the
age of which the calves are put on the
skim milk and meal This is q vital
point in counting the cost, and espec-
tally in adapting the young calf to the
new feed.
II meal of any kind is fed to the calf
before it is q month old, great care
must be taken to see that it does not
upset the young things stomach and
bring ON scours. Pure fiaxssed is the
only one of the standard meals that
the authorities have been willing to
recommend for the right young calf.

in good, thrifty condition, other meals
may be added, but the question of
cost in raising a calf depends prin-
cipally upon how much full milk it
has drunk.
For this reason the prime point is
how to get the young thing off of full
milk and we'll started on skim milk and
meal. In this article from the Rural
great stress is laid upon the virtue Of
oatmeal, and the Rural goos SO far as
to recommend it for raising dairy
calves. With ordinary oatmeal, with
the hulls included, j found it very
irritating to young calves. There is
too much starch and too little oil in it.
What we want is something to take
the place OF the butter fat removed
from the milk, and SO far as can see,
fiaxseed meal is the best substitute.
This meets the theoretical require
ments, and has proved the best in
practice according to the testimony OF
