side" requested an old, crippled soldier
engaged in poultry raising, to give his
views, and received the following:
Eggs are always cash. They are ready
for market the minute laid, and the
sooner they are got to market the
better. They require no cultivation,
pruning or harvesting, but are at once
In salable condition. With plenty of
eggs on the farm there are host of
good things In the kitchen and money
In the family purse. Gathering up eggs
Is like picking up dimes and dollars.
Great Is the hen that produces them.
When everything is dull in winter the
egg basket has wonderfully helped out
many a poor farmer. The crops may
be poor, the provisions low. the family
cow dry, with long wait for the next
growing season, but the hen comes up
smiling, and is ready to get pound of

she will respond as readily ahen the
snow is on the ground as when the
fields are green. She is a friend to the
rich and poor alike.

where poultry can be kept for nothing,
as 1t can very nearly be on the average

From January l to January /, I kept

dozen eggs and raised 34n chickens.
Eggs sold at home for ss74 A: the
chickens were part sold aa3 part kept

says that his method of setding is to
have corn on hand, winter and sum-
mer." When cold he feeds either grain,
with warm bran and meal padding. He
also feeds chopped clover and other
hay. He adds: 4 have tried this plan

Madrid, Feb. "a, 1898.
The Queen Regent to-day presided at
a Cabinet council which discussed the
relations between Spain and the United
| States.
The United States Minister, General
Stewart l.. Woodford, gave a banquet
to-day In honor OF the new Spanish
Minister t Washington, Scnor Polo Y.
Bernabc. In addition to the latter the
guests included the Austrian, Russian,
French, German, Italian, Turkish,
Dutch and British Ministers or Charge
dAffaires and their wives. and the
Duke of Feragua, the lineal descen-
dant Of Columbus, who was the guest
of the United States at the time OF

tached here to the incident and the
banquet coupled with the peaceful ut
tennces of President Mckinley, ac-
cordinS to Il semi-oific:al report, have
been enthusiastically utilized by the
Ministerial press.
But the Imparciai to-day takes the
Spanish Government to task for its
apathy, contraeted with the patriotic
feeling of the country, and warns the
nation against the hypocritlcal Yankee
policy which really aims at the in
dependence of Cuba.
Continuing, the Impartial says
president Mckinley may make and
reiterate protestat!ons Of friendship
and pacific Intentions, but his actions
contradict his words. While the Presi
dent of the United States is cajoling
us with words, he sharpens his dagger
to stab us behind While talking con-
cord he utilizes Ais Sundays in unusual
United States war preparations at the
docks and cancels the furoushs Of the
marines. Can we trust those who are
preventing the pacinca ton of Cuba
and fomenting rebellion and hI!bustet-
ing expeditions, sending warships un-
der the preteXt of friendship and
preaching peace? We must prepare
for war. There is no time to acquire
new warships. but we should fit out
Immediately what we have. sending
the Pelayo, Colon. Carlos V. and Maria
Teresa TO follow the Almirantc OQuen-
do and Nizcaya to Cuban waters and

sula. Other policy than preparedness
Is only to play the Americans game.
which is to exhaust our resources and
gain the independence of Cuba without
risking anything. How long does the
Government mean to favor the Ameri-
can plans? How long will the agoniz-
ing nation tolerate the apathy of the
