manifest any uneasiness on this score.
Senators who have visited the President
have without exception, SO far as learned.
assured him that the Senate appreciates his
efforts to preserve peace under proper con-
ditions, and have told him that there is no
danger of precipitate action in that body.
They get the impression that If the worst
comes and it is absolutely determined that
no other course will avail, the President
will be found ready for armed Intervention.
On the score of politics he assures them
that he would rather see the Republican
party fail of future success than to wage
an unjust war, but that if war must come
it must be war for humanity. and that
this fact must be made SO evident that he
will have the entire Nation behind him in a
conflict at arms.

Birds and Farmers.

Birds are great helpers for the farmers.
They live on insects that would injure
and destroy the crops of the farmers.
Their value in this regard cannot be
fully known and certainly is not appre-
Ciated as 1t should be. When the birds
are killed or driven away the insects
rapidly increase and become more de-
structive. The State of Massachusetts
spent last year 100000 in trying to ex-
terminate a moth that was destroying
the beautiful elm shade trees If the
birds had been as plentiful as they used
to be they would have kept this moth
from gaining such dangerous foothold.
1t Is said that 100000 song birds are
killed in this country each year for use
as ornaments on ladies' hats and bonnets,
This also means the loss Of many mill
lions more Of little nestlings which
starve to death because they are deprived
OF the help of the parent birds.
To the orchardists the birds are most
valuable helpers. Where birds are plen-
tiful destructive insects are rare and
spraying Is not required. But with the
destruction of the birds the insects null
tlply rapidly until spraying must be re-
sorted to or no fruit can be raised. The
birds are much more beautiful in the
trees than on ladies' hats or bonnets, and
their songs are delightful thanksgiv-
ing for the life and liberty which they
enjoy II should be part of every boys
education to protect the birds, and swift
and adequate punishment should be
meted out to every vandal who would
kill them or destroy their nests.

Bronze Turkeys.

Our artist pictures here a fine specl-
men Of this favorite breed Of turkey.
While growers OF turkeys for market are
Of the opinion that the common Amer
lean black, crossed with the Bronze, Is
an ideal bird for the purpose, there Is a
demand In some markets for birds Of
heavier weight and larger size, and the
Mammoth Bronze fills the bill. The
breed are easy keepers, good layers, rea-
sonably docile and grow rapidly. The
flesh is Of good quality, and taken In all
Its points the Bronze promises to become
valuable as 1t becomes better known.
One of the main points in raising tur-
keys Is to have the stock as tame as
possible All breeds are more or less
wild and refuse to take to the comforts
which delight hen, especially In the
question of nests. Turkeys are not
happy unless they can steal a nest in
some out of the way spot where they
may raise their young without inter
ference Select some place in a quiet
spot, a fence corner for example, and
put some straw or leaves there protect
ing Them and making the retreat rather
dark, and nine times out Of ten the tur-
key will find and take possession of it,
thus enabling you to locate and keep
watch Of the young when hatched.
The Advocate and news., 1898-04-06
Selecting Stock for Breeding.

The eggs which are being laid now
will be largely used for Matching, and
whether the results are successful or not
depends largely on the breeder. The
males especially need attention, and one
Of the main essentials in a good breed
ing cock is that he should be healthy,
active and strong. If he spends most
Of his time summing himself he is too Tat
for good service, and should at once be
put on short rations, so that he will be
obliged to exercise in finding food to
satisfy his hunger. Even a strong,
healthy male should not have a family
Of more than a dozen hens, and some
breeders reduce the flock to four or five.
by this method of rating the hens will
lay more eggs when in company with
the male and they will be much stronger
in fertility. Eggs from well mated hens
are about the same size each laying, per-
feet in shape, and If the shells are hard
and smooth, the chances are in favor Of
hatch Of strong chicks. 0ver-large or
under-size eggs with rough, uneven sur
face will not hatch well and should never
be used for that purpose; such eggs usu-
ally indicate that the hens are too fat,
not that her entire product will be the
same. Tone her down by proper food
and she will soon lay the sort of eggs
best for Matching If she has been prop
erly mated.

ProfItable Tomato drowlng.

There Is demand for first class to-
matoes for canning, preserving and cat
sup making, and also for sale In the
open market during the season Of
growth. TO grow tomatoes prohtably for
a wholesale trade, the crop must be
large, the fruit Of fair and uniform size,
and properly and uniformly colored. To-
matoes will thrive on any moderately
rich soil, but it must be we'll prepared.
The plowing should be thorough, running
the plow both ways and making the soil
as fine as possible by the use Of the har-
row.
IL stable manure Is used it should be
well rotted and made fine before apply
ing. If commercial fertilizers are used,
a high grade complete potato manure
will be found more satisfactory than any
other. Sprinkle a handful of this fer
tilizer about each plant as set, with
handful Of wood ashes and a tablespoon
full Of nitrate of soda, being careful that
none Of these ingredients touch the stock
Of the plant or the foliage. After this
application run the harrow or weeder
through to thoroughly mix the fertilizer
and the narrowing after the fruit begins
to set. This method Of culture gives
strong plants, well ripened and plenty
Of 1t OF good and uniform size.

RIpenlng Cheese.

A well-cured cheese contains higher
percentage Of fat than the same cheese
does when green, and this gave rise to
the idea that the action of rennet, or Of
the fermentation process, caused certain
OF the constituents OF the cheese to be
converted into fat. Partly with the OBJ
1ect OF testing this theory, DR.. Caldwell
has undertaken an investigation Of the
changes which occur in the curing Of
cheese. The course pursued was to take
several green cheeses fresh from the
hoop, analyZe the same, and then keep
them in air-tight receivers to cure. BY
daily examination of the air in the re-
ceiVers, everything that was given or
from the cheese, or absorbed by it, was
traced and noted.
Without going into minute details, 1t
will be enough to say, in brief, that the
examination Of the air in the receivers
showed that the cheeses all alike rap
idly gave off carbonic acid and water,
and as rapidly absorbed oxygen, in the
early stages of curing, but afterward
this steadily diminished. The weighing
showed a steady loss in the total dry
substance of the cheese from oxidation,
and loss in the total of each solid con-
stituent-fat and casein-and that the
casein lost more than the fat, thus leav-
ing the fat in the cured cheese in larger
proportion than in Its green stage, and
demonstrating that the increased per-
centage Of fat in the ripe cheese over
that in its unripe condition was not due
to any Increase Of fat in the curing proc.
eSS but to q greater lOSs Of pasain thaI
Of fat by oxidation.-Farm and Home.
The Advocate and news., 1898-04-06

Considerable space has been devoted
In this department to the new industry
of raising beets for sugar, and the reader
has been warned to go slow.
An average of ten to twelve tons OF
marketable beets an acre may be taken
as fair yield In favorable seasons, and
the cost Of raising an acre of sugar beets
may be placed between $40 and $50 when
all conditions are favorable. In gen
eral, profit of $5 to $40 an acre above
all expenses may be regarded as rea-
sonable expectation from the crop. To
cultivate crop so sensitive In regard
to It's content Of sugar as the sugar
beet requires such careful attention to
details as is demanded by no other crop
grown on our farms, and there Is danger
OF regarding exceptional yields as rep
resenting the average, when for the first
few years an average Of twelve tons OF
beets an acre may be regarded as fair
average.
Taking all these facts into consider
alton, farmers may not expect to realize
unusual profits for any long period Of
time from the growing of sugar beets.
The crop promises to be one which will
give satisfactory results only to those
who learn to grow 1t successfully.

The Horse Industry.

Many horse-breeders are led to believe
that present low prices will continue al
most indefinitely. To imagine that
horse-raising will never prove remun-
eratiVe, or that horses will never again
bring good prices, Is great mistake. The
farmer must have his horses. The ma
ture horse on the farm to-day need have
little fear Of being displaced by ma
chinery. No motor Of any kind will give
the same satisfaction under all circum-
stances that good team will, at an equal
cost. Steam has been tried as motive
power in plowing on large scale, but
1t has never come into general use. Elec-
tricity cannot be used on the farm until
a perfect storage battery is invented.
Electricity will do very well for pro-
pelling streetCars on their smooth, solid
tracks, where each successive trip is
made over exactly the same route. On
the farm it would be quite different. The
bicycle has undoubtedly taken the place
of many horses, but not to the extent
generally supposed.
Because horses are cheap now is no
r .son why they should remain so. Any
ther branch of the livestock market
tuctuates with the supply and demand.
Because the horse market has been away
down for several years is one of the
best Of reasons for predicting an upward
turn before long, and horses will then
be as high as they are low now. Horses
will become scarce as well as other stock.
They are certainly scarce in some Sec
tions now. Very few strictly good mar
ketable horses can be found. Farmers
quit breeding years ago. 1t did not pay;
horses could be bought for less money
than it cost to raise them. The supply
has been cut off at both ends. There are
several classes of horses that are bring
ing good prices now, and will so con-
tinue in spite Of steam, electricity or BIZ
cycles. The extra heavy draught horse
and the fancy coach or driving horse will
continue to be in demand for the next
century at least. The supply Of horses
that will mature and be marketable in
1900 is very small indeed. The farmer
who owns a good brood mare or two can
very protltably turn his attention to rails
ing good horses. In order to raise good
ones, he must breed a finely-built, sound
mare to an equally well-built and sound
sire. Constitutional and structural de-
fects are largely hereditary, and should
be carefully avoided.-American Agri-
culturist.

Care must be taken not to remove the
mulch from the strawberry beds or to
uncover the tender canes Of raspberry
plants too soon. When 1t Is certain that
the frost Is entirely out of the ground,
1t will be soon enough to uncover them.
After the coarse mulch Is removed from
the strawberry bed the fine manure
should be worked into the soil as soon
as the soil Is dry enough to properly
work. The plants will make quicker
start If this Is done, and especially II
an additional quantity Of fine, well-rotted
manure Is spread between the rows and
well worked in. One of the secrets OF
getting q quick and strong early growth

hand. The lOw-headed tree will come
into bearing early, and its naturally
spreading habit Of growth will keep 1t
fruitful. Under trees thus managed there
can, Of course, be no plowing, but they
will not need It. Grass is easily sup
pressed by the shade Of low-headed trees,
and little mulch spread under the trees
will keep the soil always moist enough
for a thrifty growth Of roots. Most of
the fruit on low-headed trees can be har-
vested from the ground, or by standing
on short step-ladders, leaving very little
