Opinions differ as to whether a semi

end 10 the present lnvertebrate policy
Certainly considerable confidence is felt
in Gen. Folavieja in the present difficult
juncture.
The belief is current IN Madrid that the
delay IN Commodore Watson's starting Is
due to a desire TO give Gen. Poavieja time
to form a cabinet and TO sue for peace"

The Peace Commission.

Late advices from abroad show
a hopeless breach dividing the
Spanish and American peace com
missiOners. The Spanish reply to
our demand for the Philippines
discloses the fact that with their
usual diplomatic adroitness the
Spanish government were careful
to place themselves on record
against the cession Of sovereignty
Of the archipelago, and at this
our demands will look very much
to an outsider like pushing our
advantage too far. We believe
that the United States should
control the Philippines, on just
arrangement with Spain, on ac
count of our commercial interests
in the East. AS we understand
the question, however, Porto Rico
WAS SelZeu as war lntemnlty
and we are handicapped in some
sense by our grandiloquent proc.
lamatiOn of war. We see no wax
of holding the Philippines with
honor and dignity except through
negotiation and the payment OF
money. The outlook now indi

Remember the Strain.

The close Of the political cam
paign which the people settled
last Tuesday will be accepted with
grateful feelings of relief by many
Of our fellow citizens. During u
Canvass things are more or less
badly mixed up. Men are drawn
away from their ordinary pursuits,
and the affairs of life are practi
cally suspended, awaiting the
election. Whether this hurry
burly politics is useful, or clevat-
ing, or enrolling, it boots not to
say, but that the best men of all
pursuasions take an active inter.
terest in canvass, goes without
saying. Men may say that it is
undignified to go about soliciting
votes, but the fact remains that
the very best men do it; and it is
hardly unfair to say that u man
who don't get mixed up in an i'm
pOrtant canvass is not as good a
citizen as he ought to be. But the
work is over and the best men of
both parties can rest a spell, and
stop saying things they don't
always believe. Business can now
be resumed so that the money
contributed by one class Of law
breakers can be spent by the
criminals who received it in lien
of their manhood; and everything
is serene and the political goose
don't honk so high as heretofore.
This is satisfactory on many ac-
counts, and we hail the peaceful
era with joy on account of some of
our friends. Mr.. Tom Lynch, who
has worked IN season and out of
season, needs rest. Our neighbor
of The Republican is beginning to
show symptoms Of returning aber-
alton, and Col. Joe Harrison, who
is q better farmer than politician,
can revert to his CALVES and cab
bages.

An Old Negroes Explanation of PeopIo
Without Brains.
This relates to a gentleman who
tried up-to-date farming in Arkansas
and 4 wise old negro who was his u.s.
sistant.
Shortly after his arrival in that his
toric State, which is said to he the
nursery of tradition, he bought himself
farm. He stocked it with all the
necessary ilocks of blooded sheep, cat
tie, hogs, and horses, and bought
patent cotton and corn planters. and
started in to use all of the latest mod
elled machinery, which the farmers
where he came from think indlspensa-
bic to agriculture. For running his
place and assisting him in farming he
hired an old negro. who became rs
enthusiastic as his boss" in the use
OF the new-fanglcd implements for
farming as soon as he began to under
stand them. One day the boss" and
his man were just starting in to cut
the corn crop with the patent corn
cutter when II number of the ncighbors,
passing by the field, which adjOined the
road, stopped. aud after watching the
machine work for while, commenced
to laugh and make fun of the new
farmer and his assistant. The old ne
gro was quiet awhile. but finally burst
out, Don't yo' min 'em, boss. Yous

When the no'ghbors had finally gone

skim Mill, for Chickens

With the purpose of studying the
effect of skim milk diet on young grow
:ng chickens, an experiment was con-
Quoted at the Indiana agricultural ex-
pertinent station, in which two lots OF
chickens were under observation.
There were ten chickens of two breeds
In each lot, ranging from four to six
weeks of age at the beginning of the
experiment. Each lot received the
same food, care and treatment, except
ing that one was fed all the skim milk
wanted, while the other was given
none. The grain fed consisted of two
parts crushed corn, one part bran and
one part ground oats. They were also
fed cracked bone. cabbage and lettuce.
When the experiment began the total
weight of one lot of chickens was only
one-half an ounce more than the other.
The experiment lasted from July II to
Sept. 5.
The results of the feeding show that
the chickens fed milk and grain ate
some considerable more grain than did
those receiving no milk. The results
also show that the chickens of lot 1.
receiving no milk, made an average
weekly gain of 2.62 ounces, while those
fed milk made gain per week of 4.46
ounces. or over one-fourth pound. The
chickens fed milk made Il more rapid
and uniform gain than those fed grain
only. The general results of the feed
ing In every way seemed to show the
superior influence of the skim milk on
the growth o. the birds.
