ENGLAND HEADS MIR. DOOLEY
Ambassador Choate Says He Sees II On
n Tables of tAristocrats.

London. April 11.-Mr. Joseph u.
Choate, the U. 5. ambassador, was ;hs
principal guest at a banquet given th S
evening at the reform Club by Mr..
Poultney Bigelow. The company inoluh-
ed Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford.
Baron Cbesam, Baron Acton, Baron
Monkswell, Baron Hobhouse, Lord X onald
Sutherland-Gewer; Sir Colin Monorieffe;
Gen. John Maurice, commander in the
moolich district; Mr.. Gilbert Parker,
Mr.. Anthony Hope and George Alfred
Henry.
Among the table decorations were four
books. which MIR. Bigelow in felioitious
speech said had 'done as much "a any
thing to bring together our two nations. !"
They were Capt. Alfred 4. Maiian's
Influence of sea Power in History" Sir
George Otto Trevelyan's "History Of
the American Revolution" Mr. Hender
sons Life of Stonewail jackson" and
Prof Bryoe's THE American Common
wealth."
In responding to the toast to the
Queen, Lord Charles Beresford spoke of
his cordial reception by the American
people and President Mckinley, which
he believed was accorded him solely on
account of the cool feeling now existing
bstween our two countries, u feeling
which will make for the peace of the
world.
At the conclusion of his response be
proposed the health of President NJ ckin-
ley. MIR. Choate, responding, alluded to
his more than friendly reception here
and said, that while he did not believe
the two countries would march shoulder
to shoulder as Lord Charles Beresford
had suggested, he was convinced there
would hereafter be a good understanding
between the two which would be IA bene-
tit to both and to the world In general.
And not only the books" he said, "to
which our host has alluded have contri-
buted to this happy result. but other
books, some of them written by men pres
ent tonight and read by millions in a me-
RIGA, have he ped this understan ding,
while the American authors have likewise
contrl buted their share. for instance,
a book | now find on the tables OF arts
tooIats' houses in England is "Mr. Dooley
in Peace and War"
The Daily News referring to MIR.
Choate's speech last evening ut the dinner
given by Mr. Bieelow, says:
'Mr. Choate's response was quite
unique among his public utterances here.
1t was q model of impromptu eloquenoe,
remarks able for the orderly skill which
brought every passing circumstance and
allusion into the service of brilliant i'm
provisAtion."

A Brand New Breed.

We have the promise of brand new
breed of sheep il the skill of the agri.
cultural department of the University
Of California is equal to the ambition OF
the managers. The sheep breeders oil
of the country will watch the making oil
this breed with Interest, for the gentle
men conducting it are trying to work
out au important problem. With female
Persian sheep aud Merino rams it is
hoped to produce large fleece of the
best quality of wool on carcass that
makes the best mutton. The expert
mentors have not succeeded yet, and no
public announcement has been made,
but we are told that there is bright
hope of success in the end.

any further excuse for its existence, for
it will have finished one of the most i'm f.

Water for Cows.

The more water that COW will drink
when subsisting on dry fodder the bet
ter she will do, provided, Of course, that
the water is at moderate temperature
when taken into the stomach. This
leads us, says George K. Newell, in
the Boston Cultivator, now that we are
on the threshold Of winter, to look about
and carefully inspect the water supply of
the diaries with its attendant facilities.
How many dairymen intend to drive
their cows to neighboring creek this
winter and through a hole in the ice
force them to drink water at the freez-
ing point of temperature? If such is
your plan, let me say right now that it
will be as hard to wiring profits from
your herd as to extract blood froom a
turnip.
l consider the water subject as i'm
portant as the feeding subject in its rela-
ton to winter milk production. Cows
need relatively more water in winter
than in summer, to balance the quan.
tity Of dry food they consume. If, how
ever, the water offered them is freezing
cold, and they are forced to seek it by
Drawing inclement weather, the animals
will often turn trail and 60 back into
the stable without even drinking.
With supreme Indifference to the real
cause have then heard many dairymen
exclaim their cows we're not thirsty.
knew one dairyman of this class, more
energetic than the rest, who used to
employ a whip in forcing his COWS to
the drinking hole. There the poor
creatures had to kneel on the ice and
drink, whether they would or not This
man had dim idea that water in the
cows economy played an important par,
in milk neutrality-suspicious. he had
read that water formed 874 per cent o.
milk-but he had only brutal concep
ton Of how or under what conditions
water should be given cows.
In more or less modified degree 1
large class Of dairyman all over the
country hold to this mans idea. They
may not whip their cows to an ice hole
but they give them the alternative Of
going to one daily or choking with
thirst, and that is Just as bad,
There is one humane and profitable
way. and that is to water COWS through
the winter in as comfortable manner as
you feed them | have found it best to
water cows shortly after they have eaten
which means three times daily. Above
all things they should not be given
water at an ice cold temperature.

Two Crops on the Same Ground.

A method of intensive culture which
has made some money for me is to pillow
a plot of ground in the fall, and manure
it heavily during the winter, then har-
row it in the spring, as soon as ! can
work the ground, and with one-horse
corn planter plant the earliest varieties
of peas in rows two and one-half feet
apart | cultivate the peas with hor {
and cultivatOr until some time in May,
when plant early corn with the corn
planter between each alternative row Of
peas, leaving alternate rows vacant,
frou which to pick the peas. The peas
are marketed the last of June, when the
vines are removed from the ground By
this time the corn will have made quite
large growth, and the space between
the rows can be cultivated aud set to
celery, cabbagos, turnips, or potted
strawberry plants; or Hubbard squash
can be planted in the corn rows the last
of May, and the vines will occupy the
ground between the rows Of corn after
the peas have been removed Another
profitable combination of crops is to
grow early bunch onions from sets, and
follow them with a second crop OF
celery, cabbages or cauliAowers.

pend on ones soil and market. | real

which are a success under certain con

Food Value Of an Egg.

Six large eggs will weigh about one
pound As flesh producer. one pound
of eggs is equal to one pound of beef.
About one-third of the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment, which is more than
can be said Of meat. There are no
bones and tough pieces that havA to be
laid aside. Practically an egg is ami
NAL food and yet there is none of the
disagreeabe work of the butcher ueces-
sary to obtain it Eggs at average
prices are among the cheapest and most
nutritious articles of diet. Like milk
an egg is complete food in itself. CON

the development of perfect animal 1t

No matter if the hens do have the
run of the farm. There are many farms
where chickens have been kept so long
that limestone aud other egg forming
materials have been used up, and this
must be supplied or eggs cannot be pro-
duced. All grains have a small guam
tity of lime in them, but not enough to
furnish eggshell material for hen that
is laying regularly.
