said, ''and Spain looks only TO the fu-
ture."
He was anxious Tor the latest news

asked his opinion OF the outcome OF
the campaign there, said
ut can have but one result. This
country is so powerful it will soon
compel the insurgents to surrender.
We in Spain are sorry for our soldiers

out the promise of the United statel

''It is quite clear" says the China

the French to create fresh 'Fashoda'

political and missionary activity so

political and commercial, neglects this
great province, the most important on
thewhole Yang Use, the French are
firmly establishing themselves, and by
every means in their power adding
strength to their position TO dispute
the future claims of the British to a
region which the British public are
being deluded into the erroneous belief
that their government has secured an
undisputed title to. One fine day they
will be badly disillusioued on this
score, and If they do not wake up they
will find the French firmly established
near Chungking, with large mining
concessions and an almost indisputablt
claim to the binterland.

For the Farmer.

The weight of the grain from an acre of
corn is about the same as the weight of the
cured fodder. Forty bushels of corn weigh
about long ton, and the weight of the
fodder will be nearly the same. There
may be variations sometimes, but one can
estimate very close te the weight of the
cured fodder by arriving at knowledge of
the number of bushels of corn from each
acre.
Hogs are very partial to cow peas, and
such food is excellent for them. They first
eat the pods, and where there are no pods
to be had they eat the leaves, following
with the stems When the vines are gone
they will, if the ground permits, eat the
roots by roofing for them. In this manner
the hogs will feed themselves and manure
the ground at the same time. Where
there is field that can be used in that
manner a crop of cow peas should pay well.
Hauling is one of the most expensive
items in farming. When planning for
crops and their location the cost Of the
hauling should always be considered. If
the teams are idle in winter it will pay to
haul the fodder in the fields to the barn,
and whenever the teams can be made to do
service in winter there will consequently
be reduction in the cost Of spring work.
Hauling is increased in cost when the teams
are idle at one time and busy at another
period.
The curry comb and brush are as i'm
portant for the COW as for the horse, and
promote thrift. The cleaning of the skin
is beneficial. Hundreds of cows are MIXED
daily while their bodies are anything but
clean, and it is not uncommon to notice
that the sides and udders Of some cows are
plastered with the filth of the stalls
Cleanliness of the skin of the COW is the
first step in cleanliness in dairying, and it
is almost impossible to keep cows clean un-
less they are curried and brushed. Before
milking the COWS the udders and teats
should be thoroughly washed with soapsuds
and then rinsed with clean water.
Where the family has but one COW the
butter is frequently bad, no matter how
carefully the churning may have been
done, This is due to keeping the cream
too long before churning. The new cream
is mixed with the old, and the butter is
not good This can be avoided by churn-
ing more frequently, Cream should be
ehurned as seon as it reaches the proper
stage of ripeness, and where there is a
mixture of the cream of different ages it is
impossible to have the butter of the best
quality.

A Good Cleaning Oil.
Frofn the New York Evening Post.


An excellent cleaner and polisher for
furniture with very high finish is recon-
mended by an experienced dealer in rare
woods To one tablespoonful of linseed oil
add an equal portion of turpentine, together
with piece of any pure soap the size of
walnut Pour this into vessel containing
one quart of boiling water, and let the
whole boil for about 10 minutes, stirring it
occasionally, so that it may be well mixed.
This liquid can be used either warm or
cold. but experience teaches that it is more
effective when warm; it can be heated sew
eral times before it win need renewing.
Apply with soft flannel cloth, well wrung
out, to small portion of the surface to be
cleaned. After the dirt has been well
wiped off, take fresh flannel to polish
with, and few minutes vigorous rubbing
will soon restore the wood to its original
brilliancy. Crude oil is the polisher used
in most of the furniture shops. But it is
well to remember that in the stores there is
scarcely day when each piece of furniture
is not carefully wiped off with sof, cloth,
keeping the surfaces perfectly clean, so
that the aid of the oil is only called in to
take off the cloudy appearance which will
at times disfgure the most carefully tended
furniture.
