DEHORNING CATTLE.

Bulletin IA, Maine experiment s.a- tion: Dehorning cattle has been ex- tensively practiced in many parts of the country. In the dairy sections, the need and advantages of dehorning are not as we'll understood as on the ranges where cattle run together in large herds. The subject is attracting atten- tiOn just at present in this state and the bulletin on dehorning now being distributed by the Maine agricultural experiment station will be read with unusual interest. The following con- clusions regarding dehcrning are talk en from the bulletin: Dehorning is to be recommended because dehorned cat tie are more easily cared for than these with horns, and because dehorned cat tie enjoy life better. "A great deal of suffering is prevented by the removal of horns." To dehorn mature animals. clippers should be used that will re- move the horn perfectly at a single stroke and in moment of time. When it is skilfully performed animals do not give evidence of great suffering as an effect of dehorning. The tissues in jured in dehorning are not very well supplied with nerves and they are Qu1ckly cut through. GOOd evidence that dehorning is not very painful is the fact that cattle will resume feeding immediately after being operated on, and the yield of milk in cows is not perceptibly affected. Compared with castration of colts and calves, dehorn- ing may be considered painless. Those who are familiar with the operation of dehorning and the results of it are it's most enthusiastic advocates. In the past, efforts have frequently been made to prevent the practice of dehorning on the ground that it caused needless pain. It would seem to us that efforts can now better be expended by endeav- oring to have the last relic of horn removed from our domestic cattle, who ceased to need them when they came under the protection of man. Horns may sometimes be ornamental, but it is evident that they are usually use less, expensive and dangerous lux uries.

SPAIN OFFERS US A BAIT.
Her Policy of Leaving Cuba Unpro-
 tected Leads to Disc ussion.

New York, April PA Washington dispatch to the New York Evening Post says: "A good deal of discussion has been heard in official circles to- day as to the meaning of Spain's re- cent naval movements. It seems to be generally agreed that in leaving the harbor of Havana practically un- guarded except by a single ship, and that one not of the best, Spain has made plain her purpose to lure us, for any fighting we may wish to do, over into European waters.
 "If so, she will have to let Cuba go, perhaps, without firing a gun. But this will not be the end, but only the beginning of the war, for she Will then have concentrated her navy in European water, to take Cuba's ran- som out of our merchant ships where

INSULTS FOR NEGRO TROOPS.
Citizens and Soldiers at Key Wes
 Hostile to the Twenty-Fifth.

Key West, Fla, April 22.-Two com panies of the Twenty-ifth infantry, sent here to guard Key West, came ashore from the Miami steamer feeling almost that they were in hostile country The troops are negroes and are said to be about the best in the United States The only persons to welcome them them when they stack ed their rifles on the wharf and began to carry their tents ashore were negro citizens of the town. The Cubans did not turn out, because they are afraid of being drafted. The southern whites did not turn out, because their dig nity was offended at negro troops be- ing sent.
 The Key West Herald, edited by a local Colonel Starbottle," had at tackled the black soldiers and called on God to send yellow fever and small pox to kill them off The white artil- lery garrison made no arrangements to quarter them.
 Two companies of the Twenty-fifth were no sooner in camp than the trou- ble began. The soldiers assured de- liant attitude. One entered a barber shop to wash his hands and was or dered out. He loft vowing vengeance.

ever found. The only way we can es- cape effects of this sort of campaign will be to give up our commerce alto gether and withdraw from the seas or else send a fleet across the ocean and fight the Spanish navy in its own seas.
 "The fear of priyateering on either side is unwarranted. We shall have no reason for resorting to privateering and Spain will not dare attempt it for a warning has been conveyed to her that the instant she begins issuing letters of marQue Great Britain will swoop down upon her and break up the business in very short order With all our shortcomings, it is argued here, we are still in a much better position than Spain on the privateering ques- tion, for, although Spain and the United States were both unwilling to sign the Paris convention, Spain did so on the ground that she did not wish privateering abolished, whereas the United States complained that the Paris code did not go far enough, be- cause it left private property unpro- tected.
 Great Britain, although heading the antl-prlVateer1ng movement, would not concede protection to private property on the high seas in war time. This ended the matter for us, and we paid pretty dearly during the civil war for the position we had taken.
 "One reason which Spain would have for transferring the seat of war to European water is that we should have to transport all the coal for our fleets 2000 or 5000 miles, This makes the attitude of Great Britain upon the question of coal as a contraba1d of war very important"

BLACK SEA-BALTIC CANAL.
The Cars Great Project for Devel
 oping the Country.

Philadelphia, April PA letter from St. Petersburg says: The Siber- ian railroad is not the only vast pro- ject which Russia has on hand for the development of her resources. The young czar is ambitious, and has set his hand to work which will do much to revolutionize the trade of the west ern half of his dominions. I allude to the project for uniting the waters of the Baltic with those of the Black sea by means of a canal A glance at the map of western Russia will show that the headwaters of the Dwina flowing into the Baltic, and those of the Dnieper flowing into the Euxine, ap- proach within measurable distance of each other. It is proposed to unite them and the configuration Of the land renders this quite possible
 The Baltic end of the canal will be at Riga, and its course will be up this river as far as the city of Dunaburg. From Dunaburg artificial excavations will be made for 125 miles as far as Lepel on the Beresina, and as Beresina IS on the Dnieper, there is thus a con- plete water way to Kherson on the Black sea. The entire distance from Riga to Kherson will be about 1000 miles. The beds of the Dwina. Bere- slna and Dnieper will be deepened so | that the surface breadth of the canal will be 1161A. The depth of water in ] average seasons will be 28 feet, so that | ships Of heavy draught will find no dlfhculty in steaming along the whole length of the canal.
 near that the preliminary surveys nave been finished, and that the work can be commenced in the spring of this year.
 | The Russian engineers compute that the entire cost of the undertaking will
 not exceed $25,000,0O0, and that the
 tune required for its completion will l De under ten years. Both from the commercial and strategic point of view, the Baltic-Black sea canal will De or the first importance. Seventeen towns and cities of considerable pop- ulatlon will be touched by the canal and brought into direct communica- ton With the sea- The chief of these are kleH, Krementchug, Dunaburg, Ekaterinoslav, Alexandrovsk and Mi kopol, all of them immense grain en- poriums. Grain, therefore, and the ether staple products of southern and central Russia will be shipped from these districts to the north and west Of Europe in one-half the time and at less than one-half the present cost. But it is, perhaps, from the strategi- cal point of view that Russia will reap the finest benefit from the completion or this vast undertaking. At the pres 1 ent time the Russian Black sea fleet
 IS locked up; not a single warship can
 pass through the Dardane1les without
 the consent of Turkey, or without rais-
 ing storm among the powers which
 signed the treaty of Paris With the
 Baltic-Black sea canal in working or
 der the powerful ships in the harbors
 of Sebastapol and Nicolaieff could
 reach the Baltic in four days or the
 Baltic fleet could be sent down to the
 Euxine within the same time. It is
 said that the czar is carefully going
 into every particular himself, and Is
 determined to make his canal sue. cess.

suburbs. Its residents are of the
highest class; they are moral, edu-
Gated, and cultured, majority of
them coming from active life in the
greater business centers, seeking in
the climate of Canon and quiet of
Lincoln park, health, rest, and recre-
alton. They have improved and built
up the park until it would hardly be
recognized by former residents. They
have built school houses, established
library, churches, Sunday schools,
and literary societies. They have
made the desert mesa on the hill to
blossom as the rose and to flourish
like the green bay tree. For this
reason the RECORD, ever alive to the
wants and interests of its readers
feels amply justified in devoting some
extra space to this popular and popu-
lous part of Canon City
The history and every day life of
Lincoln park cannot be written even
should we Try without the liberal
mention of Mr.. Dali DeWeese. He
has furnished the enterprise that has
made Lincoln Park what it now is.
Mr.. DeWeese settled on the Park
fourteen years ago. Then there were
but four houses on the mesa. Now
two hundred is small estimate of
the number. He has several times
purchased large tracts of land, put it
under water, set out orchards, and
sold TO newcomers. of his own self
directly he has located no less than
thirty-eight families on the Park. At
present he is setting out sixty acres
of orchard which when completed
will give him three hundred and
twenty acres of fruit land set in trees
on Lincoln Park. He now has sixty
men at work improving and planting
these lands. 1t is but well deserved
compliment to say that Mr.. DeWeese
is a personification of enterprise and
push and to him Canon City owes
much for her present growth and
prosperity.

rnr MESSAGE.

The presidents message was a dis
appointment to the jingo politicians
and sensational newspapers. II was
most too conservative for the radical
and too deep for the Mason stripe Of
politicians. There Is class OF cheap
congressman who would like more
war capital on which they might hope
10 be returned TO the house at the
next election. and the yellow jour
mails" which print their poems and
cartoons in red would regret to see
their sensational matter cut short.
While il is to be regretted that the
president could not favor these two
important factors in American civil
zation vet It is pleasant TO note that
there are those who admire the presi-
dents calmness and conservatism and
have faith in his patriotism and exc
cutive ability.
In the message the president re-
cited in full the struggle of Cuba for
liberty, keeping none Of the facts
which have come TO him from congress.
He told of the inhuman warfare being
waged against the Cubans and asked
that something be done TO feed the
starving and prevent further blood
shed. He showed while the responsi-
bility of destroying the Maine bad not
been clearly proven on Spain yet II
proved her TO be unable to protect
the war vessels of friendly powers
when in her harbors on missions Of
mercy. At present Mr.. Mckinley is
opposed TO recognizing Cuba as belli-
gerent because it would do her no
good. and also thinks it unwise TO
recognize her independence because
Cuba, as is well known fact, has no
substantial or stable home govern
ment. Recognition of any particular
government at present in Cuba might
draw us into complications with
others, and in fact such recognition
is not necessary in order for the
United States to intervene and pacify
the island. The president suggests
that when il shall hereafter appear
that the island has a government
capable Of performing the duties and
discharge the functions of a separate
nation it can promptly be recognized
by our government.
He asks congress for the authority
and means to, forcibly if necessary.
interfere with the war in Cuba, to.
stop the slaughter of the innocent and
to feed the starving. As to declar-
ing immediate war with Spain he
leaves that to congress which is the
real war power Of the government.
Just what will be done cannot at this
writing be predicted, but if it is
necessary to have war TO settle our
trouble with Spain the people can de-
pend on II that the president will do
his part to bring successful and
glorious termination.
