some Facts which Indicate the Po-s.--
racans' Willingness to Learn.
The Portoriean is mentally acuts.
The children learn with surprising ease
and quickness. Boys and girls eight
and ten years OF age viii DO a sum in
long division on the board without
showing the process; doing the multi
plying and subtracting mentally, and
only setting down the figures of the
1uotient, with the remainder. / have
talked with men and women in the
poor quarters of several cities and
towns, have seen the peasant in the
deld and in the market place, and did
not ind one with slow wits or dense
ignorance OF ordinary affairs. A work
ingman told me Of a class of laborers
be had formed in Arecibo who studied
at night to prepare themselves for Che
educational test required for the fran
chise. He said they made rapid prog
reSs In learning to read, says Hon H.
K Carroll in the Forum The fact Of
iiliteracy is not due to lack OF inteIli-
genee, but rather to lack of opportunity
and the lack, also, OF q stimulus. The
peasant has not been able to see how
he could improve his condition by edu-
cation The mercantile and the bank
ing business were almost exclusively
in the hands Of the Peninsular Span
iards- 1t was next to impossible for
a native to get position of any kind
in one Of these houses. They preferred
young men from Spain, relatives OF
they had them. These young men
would begin at the lowest round Of the
ladder, sleep in the store, live IN the
mSst economical fashion and trust to-
experience and opportunity for ad-
yancement, which seldom failed to
come. When the heads OF the house re-
turned to Spain with a competency, to-
live the rest of their days in Ora
cha" the newer part of Barcelona, the.
clerks succeed to the business. A Por-
torican who has a large and paying
business in San Juan says it was with
the greatest difficulty that he found a
chance for himself with a Spanish firm.
There was apparently no chance any
where for the peasant. If by the great
est possible good luck he got steady.
work, and lived so as to save some
thing, he was likely to be made the vic
tim of some unprincipled, coVetous
neighbor, who had property and infiu-
ence. When poor man was compelled
to part with his COW because he could
not raise eight pesos to pay the alleged
tax on her, and she became the prop
erty of a rogue at half price, peasants
would say, What is the use? Better
have no belongings: we will spend as
we 60" They saw nothing to be gained
by stinting and starving themselves to
educate their children. The system
was against them; and government
and wealth seemed in league to prevent
them from rising. The high rate OF
iIliteracy in Porto Rico is not due to
the unwillingness or inability of the
people to learn, or to their Indifference,
but to conditions from which they
could not extricate themselves.

Situation Serious in Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 16.-The situa-
ton in the contests for Governor and
the state officers and the question of
what is going to happen when the
final results are declared are of the
most extravagant speculation.
If the adherents of the contestees,
the Republican incumbents of the state
Offices, carry out the line of procedure
they now threaten by refusing to va
cate, even in case the legislature de-
cides in favor of the Democratic con
testents, the situation will be serious,
and if the statements of some of the
nea high in the councils of the state
are to be credited, this is what they
propose to do.

prof1table management of sheep.

Let ewes drop their first lambs after
warm weather and grass have come
In the spring. Grass is the best milk
producer and young ewes need it to
enable them to nourish their lambs
satisfactorily, says an exchange. From
the late weaned lambs I would renew
the breeding flock, for I believe 1t will
be much more satisfactory, for many
reasons, to grow ones own ewes.
These lambs. of course, should be of
the breed desired in the permanent
flock, and for them I should use a
mature ram. The male lambs of this
crop may be sent to the mutton mar
ket at 10 and II months of age. If
Merinos, they will sell better when
shorn than in full fleece.
Whether to breed the ewes for a
second crop of eve lambs or not should
be determined by the need of more
ewes. Under well-established flock
on this plan, two crops of lambs OF
this class would be required to keep
I'D the number of the entire flock. The
second or third crop of lambs from
any class of ewes I should have
weaned in March.
The age at which eve should drop
her first lamb depends somewhat upon
the breed, but more upon the care she
has been given. When they have beer
pushed to rapid maturity, ewes may
raise a lamb at years Of age. But
they should be fed SO as to continue
to grow during their third and fourth
years, which they will do after thii
temporary check. If the wool will ap
proximately pay for their keeping,
prefer they should not raise lamf
until years old. Raising lamb viii
reduce the fleece 20 per cent in weigh
and the possible carcass weight abou
10 per cent. Hence, lamb raised be
| fore the eve is mature is not entir'
gain. With her first lamb at years
of age, a eve may raise four lambs ant
be put upon the market herself fat a
| years of age.

A DISAPPOINTED REPORTER.
She Didn't Can on Miss Grace Dodge

She Didn't Call on Miss Grace Dodge
Again.
A woman newspaper reporter, who Is
now a welI-known author, once called
upon Miss Grace Dodge, the million
aire organizer and head of the New
York Working Girls Clubs, who is also
the author of "a Bundle of Letters to
Busy Girls" says the Philadelphia
Post. The servant looked sympathet-
icaIly at the reporter, invited her into
the house, took away her wet rubbers
and shoes and brought dry ones, an
act which filed the visitors heart with
10y. Then she brought cup of tea and
some biscuit. After a long wait Miss
Dodge came in. Are you reporter?"
she asked the newsgatherer. Yes?
I am very sorry you should have come
I'D here this rainy day to see me. You
know I never talk about my plans for
publication, but we can have just as
nice a time talking about books and
pictures. Won't you have another cup
OF tea? Must you be going? l am
very sorry. Wait a minute and have
the coachman drive you to your ONCE
or your home. Come up some day when
we can have more time, and I'll tell
you all about the Working Girls Clubs,
but of course you won't print any OF
it" The reporter rode home, but she
didn't call again-at least, not on BUSH
ness.

It has been stated that Queen Vic

over 500, OOO, 900. The actual amount
of the queens savings is known to a
few people. One of these is Henry
Labouchere, the radical, who came by
his information officially as member OF
a special committee of the House OF
Commons about eight years since.
Subsequently Mr.. Labouchere Wrote:'
1.-The impression prevails that the

selves for some weeks till they are
found to be free from parasites and
disease germs. Only few weeks ago
a man known to the writer planned
to increase his flock OF layers by pur-
chasing some Plymouth Rocks from
farmer near. The birds were all that
could be desired, to all appearances;
but they brought with them that ter
rible disease-the roup.
Because the cold weather OF winter
has reduced the danger from mites to
the minimum is no reason why we
should not keep the poultry house
clean In a way the droppings at this
time of year become more dangerous
than In the summer time. Dampness
is held by the manure and IS let loose
in large quantities on every warm day
in winter. The fumes Of ammonia are
sometimes so strong on warm winter
days that it is a wonder how the birds
can endure it. Were this condition
confined to the day time it might not
be so bad, for during warm winter
days the poultry house is generally
opened, but during the warm nights
the houses are kept closed to protect
the fowls from cold drafts while sleep
ing. It is never advisable to leave the
poultry house open on winter nights.
and the only thing that can properly
be done to keep down the fumes OF
ammonia is to keep the house clean.
The export of eggs from the United
States is never likely to assume large
proportions. The population of this
country is already so great that it is
with difficulty that the pressing de-
mand for fresh eggs can be supplied.
The American buyer will always pay
more for fresh eggs than will the for
eigneP when the cost of transporting
eggs long distances is considered. The
American hotel is an institution that
abominates a stale egg, and the egg
whose source is known and whose
freshness is beyond question is in real
| ity ready-money, for it can always be
exchanged for the circulating medium
and at par. We have more than TO-
0OO, 900 people in this country now, and
that number is being increased by
more than a million year. But the
farming area is not perceptibly in
creasing, and the future is sure to see
our sources Of egg production taxed to
| the limit to meet the demand. Under
these conditions we need not worry
about securing foreign market fol
| our eggs.
