Cabinet Decides to Follow tho Policy
Already Being Carried Out.
d, WASHINGTON, June 13.-The cabinet
meeting was attended by Secretaries
Hay, Hitchcock, Long and Gage and
Postmaster General Smith. 1t was de.
voted largely to a discussion of the
Chinese situation. Secretary Hay laid
before the cabinet dispatches from Min
lister Conger which indicated that the
situation is very critical. Secretary
Long had no late dispatches. The steps
that have been taken to reinforce Adj
5miral Kempf were gone over and it
was decided to stand by the policy
which has been entered upon, Of push
ing measures for the protection Of the
lives and property Of American citizens,
and Of acting Independently as far as
possible. It may be that in the accom-
plishment Of this result the forces Of
the powers will have to act in unison
for the protection Of all foreign resi-
dents in the disturbed districts, but this
is to be the f
Extent Of American Activity.
Il is to be confined solely to the protec-
tion and safeguarding Of our own inter-
ests and those Of our citizens. The
Chinese government will be looked to,
under the general laws Of the comfy Of
nations, to restore order and to make
such reparation as ID proper. From all
political schemes in which any Of the
powers may become involved the United
States is to hold aloof. This is the gem
eral policy heretofore outlined and it
will be adhered TO.

FOR THE FARMER.


To manage flock of breeding
ewes so that they will yield fair
profit requires good judgment in
their selection as well as in their
subsequent treatment. The down
breeds are most popular for rearing
fat lambs 1t is not enough, how
ever, to have good breed, but
individual excellence should be
sought after. 1t will make an i'm
portant difference in the annual
profits whether the eve rears a
good lamb and yields fleece of 8
pounds of wool or only 3 pounds,
If the ewes are acquired by pur-
chase it will be well to know what
their feed has been, and give them
a little better fare than they have
been accustomed to receive Do
not purchase show sheep for breed
ing purposes. Put with your ewes
at the proper time good thorough
bred ram. His individual excel
lence is of great Importance,
whether he be Oxford, Shropshire
or Southdown. Any imperfection
of form, health or habits which he
may possess are likely to appear in
his offspring. Ewes should have a
good pasture. Land that has been
plowed and seeded with nutritious
grasses is best. All old grass should
be burned on pasture land in early
Spring. This pasture may be sup

Salt should be accessible always.
Hay should be placed in cribs so
constructed that all waste may be
prevented. If any is left after the
sheep have been allowed reason
able time for eating, it should be
removed and fed to other stock,
Start at each feeding time with a
clean manger. Their shelter should
be dry and well ventilated. Well
fed sheep are seldom injured by
cold if kept dry. Look over the

Curing Meat.

One important lteln III Cuiihs
meat of all kinds is to lay it out in
cold place, where there is a good
circulation of air, until the animal
heat is thoroughly cooled out.
There is a process of sugar-cur-
ing pork that requires that the salt,
sugar and spices be rubbed in while
the meat is still warm, but it re-
quires experience to do the work
properly, and the average farmer
can hardly afford to run the risk of
failure.
Generally at this season there is
little difficulty in thoroughly cool
ing out meat if it is spread out
over night.
Meat should not be allowed to
freeze before it is sailed, as it will
not take while frozen. The salt is
apt to form in cakes over the meat,
and unless looked after when a few
warm DAYS come the meat will be
certain to spoil. In applying the
salt the best plan is to take a
quantity in the hand and rub it on
the meat.
This will cause the meat to take
salt more readily than if it is simply
sprinkled over it. After rubbing
we'll lay the meat in the box or on
the shelf arranged for it and
sprinkle it literally with salt. If
the weather is moderate so that the
meat is not frozen it is best to go
over it second time in week or
ten days, rubbing as at first, and
then sprinkle again. If the weather
is cold enough to keep the meat
frozen this may be done in a few
days after the weather moderates.
When meat is picked instead of
dry sailed the brine should be
made as strong as possible and
should fully cover the meat. In
three days the brine should be
drawn off and either fresh brine
put on or the old brine be boiled
and the scum that rises to the sur
face skinned off and then when
cool poured back.
In both brine and dry sailing
the addition of some sugar, salt
peter and pepper will improve the
quality of the meat as well as aid
ing in preserving it.
Allowing the meat to remain in
salt too long has tendency to
make the lean part hard and un-
palatable. Whenever sufficiently
sailed it should be hung up and
smoked and then packed down. II
this is done before warm weather
comes the risk of loss will be great
ly lessened.

Our Meats VIII Win.

fact that they handle prime Ameri-

such an announcement would have

American beef has been tried and
found satisfactory by the greatest
and most critical meat-consuming
nation of Europe. 1t is safe pre-
diction that sooner or later our
meats will win a similar victory in
other European countries. Merit
and cheapness are hard comb

tries which now hold out against
our good and cheap meats are
placing themselves at serious dis
advantage industrially, as com

FATAL STORM.
Two Persons Killed and Several In
jured in Kansas-Many Build-
in4s Blown Down,

Wichita, Kan., April 16.-A storm ap-
preaching tornado in proportion is
reported from near Winfield, between
here and Newton, and in the vicinity
west of Clearwater. Two deaths are
reported, and four people are said to
have been injured by overturned
houses. Wires are down and names
and particulars are unobtainable. At
Putnam it is said several houses were
blown down, and four people seriously
injured. Word was brought by pas
sengers on the south-bound Santa Fe
train that two persons were killed, but
it is impossible to confirm this report.
The telephone and telegraph wires
were rendered useless by the wind, and
all attempts to reach Putnam, Newton
or affected points have proven of no
avail. West of Clearwater, in the coun-
try northeast of Adams, on the Engle-
wood branch of the Santa Fe, it is re-
ported that a strip of country five
miles long was swept by storm at six
o'clock Sunday evening, and several
farm houses, barns and other buildings
blown down. No casualties are re-
ported from there.

WOUND PROVES FATAL.
Prominent Chicago Millionaire Sue
cumbs to a Pistol Shot Received
in a W0man's Room.

Chicago, April 16.-Rufus Wright
died at five O'Clock Sunday morning in
Mrs. Louisa Lottridge's room in the Le-
land hotel from bullet wound in the
neck inflicted Saturday afternoon in
manner yet to be determined by the po-
lice department. He was treasurer of
the bicycle tire house of Morgan &
Wright, was 20 years old, millionaire
and philanthropist. Mrs. Lottridge,
who is about half his age, is prisoner
at the Harrison Street police station.
Sunday her condition did not permit
credence to be placed in her state
ments. She was suffering from overin-
diligence in liquor and liberal use of
cocaine. Mr.. Wright's dying state
ment was that it was an accident-that
Mrs. Lottridge was showing him new
revolver, and while he was handling it
cartridge was exploded and he was
shot. Mrs. Lottridge, however, says
they were scutfling for the weapon
when it went off. She does not know
whether or not she held it at the time.
Mr.. Wright's fortune is estimated be-
tween S., 100000 and SIC, 100000. Three
years ago an English syndicate in con-
troll of the Dunlop Tire company offered
Morgan T. Wright $40, ,0o0,o 900 jointly for
their immense plant.
