TROUBLE in AFRICA.
Great Britain's misunderstanding
with the Boer Government.
events which Led Up to the Strained
Relations of the Present Day
EngIand's Part Was Not
Noble One.
Especial correspondence

That Great Britain is preparing to
conquer the republic of South Africa,
of which the famous Paul Kruger is
president, is evident; that the task will
be a heavy one is equally apparent to
anyone familiar with the character,
warlike disposition and religious fer
Vor of the Beers.
Viewed from a purely ethical stand
point the English government is in the
wrong when it seeks to destroy the po-
Iitical independence of the Beers, who
were the original settlers in South
Africa and whose valor and industry
prepared safe landing places for the
EngliSh traders and soldiers who ar
rived years afterward.
The Boers-the Dutch name for
'peasants''-left Holland in the seven
aeenth century and took possession of
-wharis now Cape Colony, after long
and bloody struggle with the Zulus, the
dominant tribe of natives. They were
left in undisturbed control of the coun-
rfry for years, until the beginning of the
ypresent century in fact, when the dis
"covery of vast gold and diamond fields
aroused the cupidity of English adven-
tuners and capitalists. In 1914 the Boer
territory, which had been existing I'M
der a crude form of republican govern
Iment, was formally annexed to Great
britain. Rather than become subjects
of any European prince or power, the
ignorant, yet Hberty-loving, Beers
moved and wrested the Natal country
from the still powerful Zulus. By tradi-
ton and training they were cattlemen
and farmers, and in the newly-con-
-quered region they found fat pastures
for their stock and rich virgin soil for
their crops. In 1887 Natal was a Boer
state to all intents and purposes, and

1t was a blistering hot morning. The
white sand reflected the suns rays like
a glass, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. What little breeze there
was stirring only served to whip up the
sand and fill ones lungs with the parch-
ing dust. The surf broke on the ocean
side of Sandy Hook with monotonous
roll. Even the sea looked hot. I en-
tered the ship news tower and slowly
climbed the five flights of stairs to the
observers room at the top. There are
no windows in the tower below the up

only owing to the darkness, but because
of the danger of fracturing ones skull

SYSTEMATIC WORK.
1t is Quite as Essential to Road Inn
prOvement as the Expenditure
of Money.

The best way to improve and secure
our ordinary country roads for COM
fort and convenience is the important
question for the farmer to consider.
One of the first important steps is to
keep the bed of the road dry. This can
be best secured by the action of the
common road grader or leveIer being
used as soon as the surface is dry
enough to crumble. The passage of
the grader fills up all the ruts and de-
pressions in the road and leaves the
center well rounded up and thus en-
ables it to shed the water. The road
must be kept clear of water, hence the
grader must be used after rain when
the clay will crumble. Now most of the
road districts are supplied with these
graders and the necessary machinery
to make and keep the road in good re-
pair, but too often the road master lets
the grader lie hid in some outlot or
fence corner till he has an idle time to
use it.
The great question arises, how can
we retain good roads after they are
graded? Here is where the question of
permanent roads comes in. In the early
history of our republic the national
government built and took charge of
the leading roads all over the nation.
The most prominent of them was the
great national road connecting ST.
Louis with Washington. This is an i'm
provement that any country might
well be proud of. All the bridges, cul-
verts, ETC., were of solid masonry, and
the road of good width and covered
with broken stone. It was one of the
primary causes for the settlement of
the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
One of the best arguments in favor of
good roads is it enhances the value of
the territory they pass through.
In the state of Missouri the counties
are waking up to the necessity of i'm
proving the ordinary highways, and
the state is helping them to improve
their roads. Many wish to have the
farmers shoulder the burden of improv-
ing the roads, but this is by no means
just, and when macadam or gravel is
used to make the bed of the road solid
it would be too heavy tax on the farm

SPANISH BLOOD IN IRELAND

height of the average man.
In the signalman's room it was sew
eral degrees cooler than at the level of
the sea. The solitary watcher was look
ing seward at the steamship City of
Rome, which was passing up the chan
mel, bound in. From her mainmast flew
her signal flags. Only a few persons APP
peared on her decks. Then, as we
looked at the ship as she slipped by US,
her port rails became lined with passen-
gers. A long line of moving white APP
peared from end to end. 1t had the APP
pearance of the foam on the crest of a
breaker.
"What's the matter with her?" asked
the signalman, poking his telescope
through one of the slides in the side of
the tower. ''They are shaking handker-
chiefs at something ashore here" he
added, after few moments inspection
of the ship.

storm which destroyed the Spanish

The race marks of this people are
well defined. Crossed as it has been
with the Milesian stock, it's Spanish
features offer most interesting study,
for they remain prominent. The men
are tall, muscular, dark-featured, with
black eyes and black hair. The women
have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are usually tall; bru-
nettes in some cases and fair in others;
with large, expressive black eyes and
an abundance of black hair. Their
beauty reminds of the women of the
Basque provinces, while among them
are TO be found the perfection of the
female form in all Ire and.

Cows for the kIondIke.

A man in Tacoma is preparing to
leave soon for Dawson, and will take 125
cows with him. He will take sled for
each cow and make them haul enough
provisions for the trip. He already has
about third of his herd, and is busy
breaking them to work in harness. He
expects to get away in few weeks. He
is positive it will be a paying venture,
as fresh milk is little known article
in the Yukon. He has had no trouble so
far in breaking his cattle, and talks as
though it viii be no extraordinary
sight to see 125 cows vending their way
along the mountain trails, drawing
sleds laden with hay and grain. He
will take them down the Yukonin boats,
and expects to be at the lakes as soon
as the ice breaks. He has been over the
ground, and feels confident of success.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
che System Has Been Received with
Great Satisfaction in All Parts
of the Country.

The post office department is con-
stantly receiving a large amount of
evidence tending to show the popular
ity of the free delivery system where
1T has been tried, and the desire for the
extension of the service to other terri
tory where it is not yet in operation.
The original appropriation by the last
congress under President Cleveland's
administration, for the trial of the sys-
tenn, was $4,000, and the Fifty-Fourth
congress followed this with an appro-
priation of $15O,OGO to continue the
experiment. The congress Just ended
increased this amount to 100000, and
the system is now considered practi-
cally a permanent feature of the post
office department. 1t is stated by the
officials that very great satisfaction
has been expressed throughout the
country, and those familiar with the
subject claim that in populous sections,
where the country is thickly inter-
spersed with farmhouses and whose
correspondence naturally is consider
able, the system will be self-sustaining.
The only persons, it is stated, who are
opposed to the free rural delivery are
the fourth-class postmasters, who lose
not only their revenue from stamp can
cellations, but also the privilege of
doing out provisions of various kinds
to the patrons of the Office, who ma
turally, in a good many cases, deal
with them in the grocery line, the
fourth-class postmaster usually keep
ing store. The service has now been
extended by the department to nearly
all the states and territories, and in
such states as have made application,
the department is now considering the
most advisable systems to introduce.
In some of the sparsely settled regions,
where the farms are very large and the
distances between houses great, eX-
pertinent is being made with bi and
triweekly system instead of a daily.

promised to afford permanent home
to the industrious thousands who had
created it.
But three years later Lord Napier,
then governor of the Cape Colony, is
sued a proclamation denying the right
of the Beers to form an independent
colony anywhere in Africa. The Beers
paid very little attention to. this pro-
nunciamento, and nothing would have
come of it had not the agents of the
various chartered companies in London
discovered rich gold and diamond de-
posts in Natal. In 1912 British troops
were sent to invade the Boer strong
ShOlds and Natal became a British col
Ony. The Beers then began their sec

ming on the pulleys. Rivet Stats (calIed
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die.
At each end of the lag small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as bridge to keep them from
sagging under the weight of the dog.
Two rivets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
ternate lag must have these strips set
in aninch so they will lap past each 9th
er and rest on a lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in the illustra-
ton.
The connection with churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by ''tumbling rod" connection, as illus
trated, or by belt on the band wheel.
The lags may be half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. AS the pitch
may need adjusting to furnish the
power needed for different kinds of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps so the elevation can be changed
at will.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Locating the Barnyard.

Speaking of barns and stabling, here
is hint for those who are locating
them anew. Arrange your barn yard so
that it will not be necessary to go
through it in passing from the house
to the barn. Let the barn or stable be
between the house and the barn yard.
Of course, where it can be conveniently
arranged, it is usually preferred that
the yard be on the south or on the east
side of the barn, but it may be better
on the north, if necessary, rather than
where one is obliged to pass through it
in going to and fro so many times as is
required during winter. A well shell
tered barn yard can be arranged almost
anywhere by means of a tight-board
fence or sheds; or a wind-break of ever
greens could well be planted so as to
protect it from severe west or north
winds.-Hoard' Dairyman.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1899-07-13

British government became aware of
this intention, it proclaimed the Buffa-
10 river as the northern boundary of
Natal.
For the third time the Beers moved
this time into the country bounded on
the east by the Drakensberg, on the
north by the Vaal. on the south by the
Orage and on the west by the Wall
and established the Orange Free State.
England, its eyes ever on the main
@chance-annexed the Orange Free State
lin 1s48; and the patient Beers began
their fourth move-across the VaaI
river, northward into what is now
uKnown as the Transvaal.
The patience of the people was thor
oughly exhausted; and on June II, 1S4S,
the burghers stopped at Bloemfontein,
sthe capital of the Orange Free State,
and routed the British regulars. On
August 20, of the same year, the Beers
were defeated by their enemies at
Boomplats, but only after stubborn
fight. The exodus to the Transvaal
continued, bat $4,000 Beers remained
