NEUTRALITY OF THE CANAL.

The canal can at once be built. The
United States controls and policies II 10
maintain its neutrality and freedom. Any
steps short OF fortifcations can be taken
to carry out this guarantee. and where a
hostile attack was imminent any STEPS
are lawful needed 10 carry out an inter
national guarantee. Just as England IN
1882 occupied the SueZ canal with a mill
tary force and made 1t q base OF opera
lions against Arab Pasha, so the United
States would have a like right to protect
the canal from any hostile approach.
These broad public reasons constitute an
overwhelming argument for the ratidca-
ton OF the treaty. Nothing but partisan
campaign ike that against the Spanish
treaty can leopard the present instrument
Philadelphia Press.
The argument that an isthmian canal
that We did not have the right to close
against our enemy in time OF war would
be a source Of danger to us is weak
shallow and utterly unconvincing. Pro-
tect IL as we might, a waterway under
our control would be too dangerous a
place for our enemy to trust himself in
for the thirty-six hours or sd that II

In some way the wheat and oat
straw should all be utilized If it can
not all be fed to the stock to advantage,
it can at least be used for bedding and
in this way be converted into manure
There are few farms where there is too
much manure Generally If more care
were taken to make, save and apply
more manure, better crops at a less
cost would be grown, and where wheat
and oats are made a part of the farm
crops, the straw should in some way
find its way back to the land.
Straw alone is not a complete food.
Animals must consume too large bulk
of it, more than can be properly digest
ed if even a fairly thrifty condition is
maintained But If combined with
other materials it can be used TO a
good advantage If mixed with clover
hay and small proportion of wheat
bran is added, very good ration is pro-
vided and one that is at the same time
economical. Like everything else
saved for feed much depends upon the
condition. With a little care in stack
ing, so that it will keep in a good con-
dition it can be used TO a much better
advantage either for feeding or bed
ding. Even when wanted for bedding
it should be stacked up where it can
be kept dry, as dry bedding will help
materially in making the stock COM
Portable in winter.

pushed along as rapidly as possible, as
it is easier to do this now than when
the weather becomes cold.
When the chickens have attained
their full growth or nearly 80, and the
fattening period begins, they should
be confined in small yard, so that
while they may have little exercise,
yet not the unlimited run they were
accustomed to. If the fattening is to
be done very rapidly, each bird should
be confined in a small coop just large

The Moving Machine.

We remember when the first NOW
sng machines began to be used there
were many farmers who expressed an
opinion that they cut so close to the
ground that the grass roots would be
burned out by the heat of the sun if
there was not rain soon. Probably this
has sometimes happened upon certain
soils. where the roots did not penetrate
deeply, and where the stand of grass
was so thin that the stubble did not
shade the soil at all to prevent the evap-
Grafton from It, Yet many of those
same farmers cut their grass closer to
the ground with the hand scythe than
the moving machine cut; that is, they
did SO in the center of the swath, for
they were not what we call good now
crs. pointing In and out and leaving the
stubble level, but cut with a swing that
aeft each swatb what we called "hog
trough" high where the swaths met,
but very low in the center. The most
obvious way to remedy the danger of
cutting too low would be to set the
knives higher, but it is not the best
way. Make the soil light and porous
by having plenty of vegetable matter
5n it, and rich enough to grow a thick
ture, and there is little danger of the
sunshine injuring the roots, and a
shower or even n heavy dew will cause
81 70 brighten up very quickly.-Ameri-

Frank Whitehead, Whitewater farm
err, killed himself rather than get mar

ness for the wedding ceremony. The FUR

as he was loading up the furniture mes
sage came to him to leave the furniture
and bring a coffin instead. Whitehead
had shot himself to death. The man has
been very nervous because of the APP
preaching event, and no reason is known
for his self-desuuction except pure fright
over the wedding ceremony. He left
nothing to account for his action. lie
said to one of his farm hands that he
would give anything if he could get out
of the ceremony, as he did not feel that
he could stand up and be married before
a lot of people, Whitehead was pros
porous farmer, and both his family and
that of Miss Taylor are wealthy. The
parents on each side had ready check
of 81, 600 as one of the wedding presents.
The couple had been engaged for about a
year, and the match seemed to be hap
by one in every respect.
