1t was Congressman Spalding of
Maine who introduced the bill abolishing
canteens in the army and not his name
sake the congressman from North Da-
kota. Our republican contemporaries
don't seem to be i'll any hurry to correct
the error they have made in crediting the
abolishment of canteens bill to the wrong
party. The Fargo Argus went off half
cooked in the matter and the other fel-
lows have been following like flock of
sheep. Jermane, of the Minneapolis
Journal, was the first to sin and we have
not seen any correction from him.-Park

The following is correct list of the
congressional delegation from Maine:

Further, there is only one Spalding in
congress and he is from North Dakota.
Also B. F. Spalding of North Dakota is
the man who introduced the bill.

2la, 900 MEN IN THE FIELD.

Mr.. Wyndham's remarkable declara-
ton in the House Of Commons last week,
that Great Britain will have in fortnight
lso, 600 regulars in South Africa, 1000
Canadians and Australians and 26, 600
South African volunteers, is received
with wonderment. OF this total of 213,-
600 troops, with 452 guns, all are now
there with the exception of about 18, ,00O
that are afloat.
Beyond comparison, this is the largest
force Great Britain has ever put into the
field. At the end Of the Crimean War
she had scraped together $4,000 men.
Wellington had at Waterloo 5000. MIR.
Wyndham's speech was the strongest
defense the government has yet put for
ward as to what has been done and is

one will carefully see that thorough

THE NECESSARY LINK.

Perhaps we were rash in buying the
wagon, and perhaps we ought not to
have bought the horse; but having made
those investments for better or for worse,
let us not now hesitate about buying a
set of harness. The way to justify ex-
pansion is to make the most effective
possible use of what we have acquired.
Our altered position in both oceans,
coupled with the enormous recent in
crease of our foreign trade, must require
larger and more expensive navy hence
forth than we have maintained in the
past. A canal on our own soil, making
it possible for us to use the Gulf of Mexi-
co and the Caribbean Sea as great naval
centers from which our ships can have a
quick and safe passage to the Pacific,
will almost double the efficiency for de-
fensive purposes of given number of
war vessels, and will accordingly save us
enough on our yearly naval bills to meet
all interest and sinking-fund charges on
the cost of the canal. Viewed from the
material standpoint and tested as bust.
ness proposition, the Nicaragua Canal is
as necessary to the completion of our
new territorial, commercial. and strate-
gical policies as the harness is necessary
to the utilization of the horse and wagon.
The indirect opposition that has made it.
self ielt so powerfully at Washington
comes, of course, in large part from
transcoutinental railroad interests. This
is natural enough, and it is merely well
that the public should know it. We have
good reasons for going ahead, and in the
end these transcontinental railroads
themselves will be the richer for all the
business developments that may follow
from the construction Of the interoceanic
canal.-From "The Progress of the
World" in the American Monthly Re-
view of Reviews for February.

MEXICAN MONEY.

From very interesting letter from
Roscoe G. Wilson who is making BIZ
cycle trip in Mexico, as printed in the
Pink Paper, we extract the following
paragraphs, which are of peculiar interest
as shedding considerable light on certain
financial questions which were in debate
about three or four years ago; to-wit: the
worth of Mexican silver dollar; first as
compared with gold dollar; second, its
comparative purchasing power in goods;
third, the wages of the laboring man on
silver basis, and fourth, the method of
living among the common people of
Mexico.
1t was three hours before could pro-
ceed again and managed to make La
Jarita, about thirty-two kilometres from
Laredo-before dark. Here met the
proprietor of large hacienda, or ranch,
who spoke very good English and who
very Hospitality gave me my supper and
lodging. He told me that it was 12O
miles around his fence and that he en-
ployed about 600 men, among whom
were number of Americans. He paid
seventy-6ve cents per day (silver) and
boarded his men. 1t would be we'll to
mention here that Mexican money is
worth less than half as much as Ameri-
can. In getting my money changed at
Laredo received $2.1O Mexican for 81
American. Many people in the United
States have the idea that a dollar in
Mexico will go as far as the same in
America. 1t is anything but the case as
all the necessities of life command very
high figure. A good pair of shoes will
cost from S8 to S15; Stetson hat s8 or
80: sugar costs twenty-five cents pound
wholesale; butter eighty cents per pound;
milk twelve cents quart, etc. One can
plainly see from the above figures that
living is not very cheap in Mexico.
The roads began to get better as
progressed and Imade about sxty miles
that day, reaching Lampasos at six
o'clock, where enjoyed a regular Mexi-
can supper Of tortillas, pronounced tor
tee-yalis) J frijoles, (ire-ho-las) fdeos,
(fee-da-os) coffee, etc., which cost me
thirty-one cents, silver. The old Mexi-
can woman who cooked the meal squat
ted on the floor before the hot Goals,
which were fried on fiat stone, and
baked her torlillas, which are simply
corn cakes without any leavening and are
almost as tough as leather. Everything
is cooked with an unlimited amount OF
grease and pepper and the dishes are
rather unpalatable at first: The red
pepper acts as an indigestion preventive
and that ailment is scarcely known here.

40 per cent strength. This is the strong.
est solution of formaldehyde upon the
market. Formaldehyde of less strength
would make your treatment operations a
double process.
DO not use more than 50 gallons of
water for pound of formaldehyde nor
less than 40 gallons. A solution of less
strength than the one recommended is
not sufficiently strong. A solution
stronger than the one recommended is
liable to injure the growth of the wheat
more or less.
DO not leave wet grain in pile long
enough to get hot, the termination may
be ruined or the yield at least consider
ably injured. 1t is usually good plan
to treat the seed which is to be sown in
the afternoon in the morning and that
which is to be seeded in the morning, in
the afternoon.
Do not put treated seed into bags
which have held untreated seed, or drill
the treated in drill which has just been
sowing smutty grain without cleaning the
drill.
After treatment, the grain will be
Slightly swelled. One should know how
much seed he has submitted to the
treatment, then find out how much there
is by measurement when he is ready to
drill it. This will allow one to set the
drill so as to throw as much wheat per
acre as he wishes to sow of dry seed
When properly treated a bushel and a
peck OF wheat usually becomes equal to
about bushel and a half through SWELL
ing. One can estimate the amount of
formaldehyde he will need to buy if he
remembers that according to the care
with which he handles the grain and
saves the solution he may treat from fifty
to one hundred bushels of seed wheat
with each forty-fve gallons of water.
If there are not sufficient details given
in this pamphlet to satisfy you you ought
to treat your seed wheat, write the expert
ment station for its regular bulletins in
the matter or ask such questions as you
may desire.
P. S.-The pamphlets are valuable to
any farmer, and cost nothing. Address
