All Imperialism is the Same.


John Morley, the English statesman.
thus strikes home at England and
IAmerica:
+ First, you push on into territories
where you have no business to be. and
where you had promised not to go;
secondly, your intrusion provokes
resentment, and in these wild countries
means resistance; thirdly,
you instantly cry out that the people
are rebellious and that their act is
rebellion (this in spite of your own
assurance you have no intention of
setting up permanent sovereignty
over them); fourthlY you send force
of men to stamp out their rebellion;
and filthy having spread bleodshed,
confusion aud anarchy, you declare,
with hands uplifted to the heavens that
moral reasons force you to stay. for, if
you were to leave, this territory would
be left in condition which no civil
lied power could contemplate with
equanimity or composure."

pose the gun is trained down the track
In the opposite direction from which
the train goes, and Is discharged. How
far will the cannon ball and the gun
carriage be apart at the end of min
ute, the train running at the above rate
of speed at the time of discharge?
Also what will be the relative position
of the ball and engine at the end of a
minute. if the gun is discharged in the
direction of the engine? In both cases
the track is both straight and level.

Mating up the Pens.


Where fowls are yarded during the
winter, it is best to mate up the pens
when the fowls are put into permanent
quarters. Towards spring some
changes may have to be made usually
on account of the favorable or unf av-
orable development of the young stock
and also some old stock. If, however.
the fowls have not been mated when
they should have been, it will be better
to attend to it even late. Even farmers
who do not pay much attention to their
fowls should pick out their best birds,
procure a new rooster and try to
improve on the common stock. It takes
about two weeks for fowls to become
accustomed to new quarters, and the
new cock should be with the hens two
weeks before any eggs are saved for
Matching purposes. The best that one
may have is none too good for breed
ing purposes. Like ought to beget like,
but it will not always.-R. w. Dawson,
in Agricultural Epitomist

TIMELY NOTES.

The farmers who are making the
most money in this locality are those
who are giving much attention to small
fruit and poultry. There never is a
failure in butter, eggs and poultry.
and if the business is followed
intelligently, year alter year, it will
bring in more cold cash than the field
crops. We know of dozen farmers
near Chanute who made more money
from their cows and chickens than they
made off their farms, Otherwise, and
they raised good crops. too.-Chanute
Blade.

Market Male Fowls and Broilers.


Discard every male fowl except the
one in the breediug-pen; they are
worse than useless. The hens that are
given free range, and that are to
supply the family and grocer with eggs
will produce more eggs, and the eggs
will remain palatable longer, if there
are no male birds with them than if
they are allowed in the flock. A good
plump hen twill bring. more in market
any day than rooster; then why
allow these worse than useless fowls a
longer lease of life than is required to
fit them for broilers7 At the broiler
age they will bring more cash and will
have done less damage than can be
said of them at any later period in
their lives. Market them then-as
broilers.
Believing that the best is none toe
good for farm yard fowls, and that
pure bred fowls are more profitable as
well as more pleasant to care for, we
earnestly hope there will not only be
more fowls reared during the year 1900
than was ever reared before, but that
they shall be better fowls.-Alma Cole
Pickering, in Farmers Advocate.

They are shipped in refrigerator cars,
