Italy Accepts Open Door.

Italy has returned a favorable response
to the recent note of the State Depart

1t is learned that, although Italy was

prompt than any other in the negotia-
tions. This is explained by the fact
that the Italian government was nd
dressed OF the subject some time
after the other continental nations had 1t
under consideration, owing to the fact
that our ambassador, Mr.. Draper, was
away from his post on leave of absence

WIS regarded rs best TO make no depar-

adopted in the case of the other govern.
ments, of addressing them through the
United States representatives at the
foreign capitals.
Immediately upon Mr.. Diapers return
to Rome, he laid the matter before the
Italian government, which, therefore,
has acted with more promptness than
most of the other powers. The agree
ments have not yet been reduced to
to their final form, but the State depart.
ment will now enter upon the task of
putting them into shape, and as in each
case the agreement to the principles in
volved in our invitation is returned in
un, quiyccal terms, according to the de
partment officials, it is not anticipated
hat any difficulty will be experienced
in accomplishing this work satisfae-
torily. Pending that outcome, the State
department does not intend to make any
statement to the public as to the exact
terms OF the agreement, though it is
admitted that the ground has been GOV

Sheltering Sheep

The month of November and so much
OF December as may not be very cold are
times when sheep need shelter from cold
rains and winds. They can endure a great
deal of dry cold, but when wet to the skin
they do not easily get dry again, and the
the chill will lower vitality if it does not
cause disease. 1t is also bad time for
sheep, because they like what grass they
can find in the fields better than dry fod-
der at the shed; yet it has but little nutri-
ton in it. and it is time when they
should have little grain every day.
While we like the ewes to have a run out
every day that it is not stormy, we want
them in dry shed at night, and confined
there until they have taken a good break
fast Then if they pick at little grass il
will do them no harm.

The low estimate placed on human life
in some communities of the south may
be shown by the record of the principal
undertaken of Greenvlle, 5. C., for the
past six years, which give IS persons
by violence and unlawful means. This
town is not a sample of all southern
places, but it is an undisputed fact that
the loss of life from foul means is much
greater than in the northern states.
The only hope in correcting this evil is
in developing more sacred feeling for
human life among all classes as will call
for speedy punishment for those who
take the lives Of their fellow beings.

AS an instance of shortsightedness In
business affairs Ex-Governor Hoard Of
Wisconsin, who attended the National
Dairying Association in Vermont, this
week, cites the stupid dishonesty of the
American policy which he says lost us
an immense foreign market. In 1880 we
shipped to England $l5, 900 900 worth of
cheese. Then we began to make "tilled"
cheese and in 1899 our exports to Eng
land was SO 100000 worth of cheese.
Canada has laws that secure pure foods.
She saw her opportunity and has taken
the English market from US. She ex-
ported in 1899 1000 900 worth of
cheese. The figures prove that sound
ethics are good commerce. Fraud results
in loss of trade. What we want to do is
to provide against counterfeits and grad
ually regain our trade. This is good
sound doctrine and farmers of this
country should heed it,
