POWERS WILL FOLLOW SUIT.

Proposed Arbitration.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE action
taken by the United States in desig-
mating eX-President Harrison and ex-
Senator Gray as members of The
Hague court of arbitration is attract
ing the attention of foreign govern

to the steps taken by this country. the
indications being that the American in

the other powers interested.
AS far as can be learned none of the
foreign governments have named its

NO ONE SURPRISED
At Russia's Expressed Intention Of Acting In
dependentIy from Powers.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE ca
bic dispatch from st. Peters
burg Indicating that Russia's attitude
in China will be independent of the
concert Of the powers caused no sur
prise among officials here. 1t was no.
ted when the aggressive military
movement was begun by Germany and
the expedition against Pao Ting Flu
started that Russia was among the
powers which did not join in the move
mont. The dispatch from St. Peters
burg is looked upon as merely another
step similar to that taken when Rus
STA withheld support from the Pao Ting
Flu expedition and other aggressive
military moves. Moreover, it is re
garded as quite in consonance with the
pacific tendencies Of this movement
which has been directed all along to
securing a settlement by diplomatic
means rather than by the sword.

pleasures of life than other occupa-
TONS. They. associate with the work OF
the farmer the idea Of drudgery con-
slant and unending. The millions who
toll in factories increasingly, the other
millions who drudge year after year at
the counter or desk, in store or Office,
have little reason to exalt their condi-
ton over that Of the independent and
unhampered tiller of the soil. The
merchant and manufacturer are no
less drudges and must keep everlast-
ingly at 1T If they desire success. The
lawyer, doctor and teacher are all hard
and constant workers If ambitious and
faithful and under continued strain.
None Of these, 1 believe, enjoy that
lasting freedom of person and Of spirit,
that feeling Of contentment and the
general immunity from care, trouble
and disease which are the usual bless
ings of the farmers life.

AUGUST DAIRY LOSSES.

We want to say word about August
losses in dairying, which in SO many
dairy herds constitute the big leak on
the dairy farm. Poor pastures and
fies-that's what's the matter. You
know all about it. The COWS shrink
in their milk yield in August, and
when the fall rains and fall feed come
they never get back. This is one Of
the leaks which you can stop il you
will go at it. Plant sweet corn in the
field adjoining the pasture fence. Take
the cows up and keep them in dark
ened barn from 10 a. IN. until %. m.
during the worst of the fly season.
Feed them literally with sweet corn
in the pasture night and morning.
There Is no breed Of cows that we
know Of which can make milk out Of
bare blue grass pasture, punched on
knoll all through the heat of the day,
fighting flies. Too much trouble to
fuss with them, you say? Well. then,
if we could not take care Of the milk
COW, we'd let the calf suck her.

They (the vaudeville theaters) are

CROSSING TYPES.

The experience of the past decade
has taught no lesson more emphatical-
ly than that mixing of types is disas-
trous, says The National Stockman.
Sections which were successfully DOM
mated by the trotting, the coach and
the draft horse crazes can show the
worst lot Of "nothings" in their his.
tory as, a result Of such mixing. The
horses named above are worthy Of na
other classification. They are the draft.
coach, road or anything else Of great
value. This year breeding will be re-
vived. More mares will be bred than
for years, and as stations are not over
plentiful the owners Of mares will be
tempted to cross types rather than go
to the trouble or expense Of finding q
stallion of the type they need on their
mares. A word of caution: Don't. Bet
ter not breed than to go to extremes in
the matter Of type. There is neither
pleasure nor profit in raising s'noth-

There is almost always some sort Of
a craze going out among the farmers.
This year it seems to be in the matter
of organizing stock companies to buy
stations. A lot of smooth sharpers
are in this business Of organizing these
companies and are working a whole
lot Of $500 horses on to farmers at
from $1,SOO to $500 each. The way
seems to be to give lot Of stock in
such company to the big man Of the
community for the use of his name,
and, having obtained that, the sharper
finds the little fellows easy picking.
