As Ian MacIaren Sees Us.

In his first sermon in his church in
Liverpool after his arrival from this
country the Rev. DR.. Watson said that
the thing which most startled him in
the United States was the power Of the
secnlar spirit and the weakness Of the
Christian church. Men were devoted
to money and money getting in way
and to degree which he could not
have imagined possible. The churches
lii the United States, he continued
were conducted to considerable ex-
tent rs large business concerns, money.
making permeating everything. In
many districts he found congregations
consisting almost entirely of women.
He eulogized the vivacity, intellect
and energy. the boundless resource,
high hope and confidence Of the Ameri-
can race, which he declared to be- cne
Of the most promising of the Anglo.
Saxon branches. The readiness of rich
americans to build and endow educa-
tisnal institutions be considered mat
ter for national pride.

NAMED president ever since 1881, and
nothing occurred to disturb the tran.
quillity of the Boer government until
1886, when Jameson made his ILL
fated raid against johannesburg, the
commercial center of the Transvaal.
Since then the uitlanders, who pay
most of taxes collected in the Trans
vaal, have several times applied to the
English government for redress of
grievances. Among other things they
demand the right of franchise and a
voice in the expenditure of the vast
sums which they are compelled to pay
into the Boer treasury. Joseph Cham
berlain, the British colonial secretary.
responded to the call of the uitlanders,
the majority of whom are Englishmen
and Americans; and not very long ago
Sir Alfred Miner, British high com.
missioner for South Africa, met Presi-
dent Kruger to discuss a readjustment
of Transvaal affairs. The English Off
cial asked for more liberal naturaliza.
ton laws and an increase of uitlander
representatives in the ''volksraad."
President Kruger submitted counter
proposition that citizenship be granted
to foreigners upon the following con-
ditions: First, registration IA days
after arrival; second, six months notice
of intention; third, two years con-
tinuous registration; fourth, continue
Gus residence; fifth, to have undergone
no dishonoring sentence; sixth, proof
of obedience to the laws; seventh, full
title of franchise in the country of
origin; eighthly, the possession of prop
erty, or a yearly income; all these con-
ditional upon England's consent to the
incorporation of Swaziland into the
Transvaal.
This counter proposal was, of course,
rejected by the British commissioner;
and it is quite probable that consent to
the English demands will be enforced
at the point of the bayonet. The Trans
vaal is prepared for such an outcome.
Its Notifications are in splendid con-
dition, and its army of 10000 men,
headed by Gen. Joubert, is equipped
with Mauser rifles and modern artil-
lery. Should war come, it will be q
stubborn and bloody conflict, the sue
cess of which may hang in the balances
for long time. That England VIII win
in the long run is almost certain, but
whether the victory will be worth tho
sacrifice it must entail is another ques-
ton g. w. WEIPPIERT.

Cultivating Sugar Beets.

In the early cultivation the ground
should be stirred as deeply as possible.
To accomplish this without covering
the plants the ideal implement would
be cultivator with numerous long,
hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one of which might be called a
cross between a harrow and cult
vator. Such culticators are now on the
market. After the beets have become
larger a cultivator with broader SHOW
els may be used in order to cut the
weeds more effectually, but deep work
ing Of the soil should be carefully avoid
ed, after it has become filled with the
feeding roots of the crop. The after
cultivation should consist in keeping
the ground free of weeds and keeping
the surface loose, both points being
necessary to the preservation of the soil
moisture.-Farmers' Review.

can be moved about the yard from time
to time and thus keep a nice pure
place for pigs to sleep, every time it
is moved using clean bedding, or rather
moving every time clean bedding is
used. Water is best supplied out in
the lots instead of in the feed room,
as hogs will keep the feed room more
or less filthy if water is supplied there,
especially if they can get to it to wal
low. A small cistern or well is located
in storage room from which under
ground pipes may extend to the sew
eral lots. In making fences between
lots do not make them more than three
or four boards high, just so man can
straddle over them comfortably. This
you will find very convenient in look
ing after your hogs. The outside fence
may be higher if other stock have ac-
cess to pens and are likely to jump.
Two and half feet is high enough for
all inside fences. = Orange Judd
