France is supposed to be, of all
countries in the world, the one in
which mans freedom to drink what
ever he pleases is most maintained.
Yet General Donop, commander of
the tenth army corps, recognizing the
magnitude of the drink evil, has pro-
hibited the sale of alcoholic drinks in
the army "canteens." The good effect
of his order is being observed, and it
may yet be extended throughout the
Ffench army. For the army of the
example of sobriety and abstinence
will be striking incident, and one
which may we'll bring shame to some
other ountries.-ErchGnqe.

Youths Companion publishes more
than 200 short stories, yet SO carefully

OUR FARMERS.
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF
STOCK FEEDING.

The dairyman who owns a summer
dairy, whose cows run dry all winter
long and bone in the spring, does not
worry much about their winters feed.
But the man who is alive to his duty
as a farmer cannot dismiss matters so
lightly. He is studying upon or has
worked out his scheme of winter feed
ing. He has grown and harvested his
crops and is considering what to buy
at the mill for grain feed. Yet he,
though on higher plane than his
shiftless neighbor, often makes mis-
takes. His homegrown crops, and
in particular his purchased feeds, are
ofthn i'll adapted to milk making.
His success is likely to depend largely
upon his knowledge of the funda-
metal principles of stock feeding
Many a dairyman- fails to do as we'll
as he might more from lack of knowing
his bushes than from lack of money.
If man knows why he does thing,
the reason, the explanation, the
underlying law on which the action is
based, he is more likely, other things
being equal, to achieve success than
he who works at haphazard without
this knowledge.
If for instance, more dairymen knew
how urwise and uneconomical it is to
buy corn meal for cows; ifthey under
stood the special uses of the concen-
trated feeding stuffs; if they realized
better the possibilities of the silo,
their pocketbooks would fatten. If,
however, in addition, they knew why
corn meal is less fitted to make milk
than is gluten, and why the corn in
the silo is better than when stocked,
not only would pocketbooks grow
stouter but they should receive
goodly dividend of satisfaction.
Vermont farmers have now a good
chance to learn the better methods of
stock and dairy feeding and to study
the laws on with their practice rests,
if they will but avail themselves of
the opportunity. Bulletin 81 of the
Vermont experiment station on the
"Principles and Practice of Stock
Feeding is now just being issued
from the press. 1t is a fifty page
pamphlet, which discusses these mat
tiers in clear every day English. Its
% erusal should be helpful to every
dairyman in the state. Tt is worth, fits
teachings be needed, thousands of
dollars to Vermont agriculture. 1t
will be sent without charge, as are the
station publications, to any address
for the asking. If the applica Mt wishes
his name placed on the mailing list,
so that he may hereafter receive with
out charge and until further notice all
the station publications, this request
should be made in addition. A postal
card addressed to the experiment sta
ton, Burlington, VT, stating desire
is sufficient.

Fall setting of trees is preferred by
many of our best fruit growers, says
The Stockn,an and Farmer. They have
more time then than in the spring.
The trees can be dug and delivered
before they start growth and one is
sure of getting better selection.
The roots have an opportunity to cal
lous over and often start out few
rootlets, so that when spring opens
they are ready to start at once into
growth and often gain from four to
six weeks over spring set trees. This
start is often great enough to carry
them through the summers drouth,
when spring set tree would not sur
vive. Fall set trees have not many
roots to steady theml in high winds,
therefore they must have some pro-
lection. Where the winds whip them
about, the trunk will work hole in
the ground, down which the water
will run, and in freezing around the
roots will often kill the trees. High
banking-a foot or fifteen inches high
is necessary to hold the tree steady,
or it may be necessary to drive a
stake and tie the tree to this. The
banking is helpful in any case to turn
the mice and can be leveled off in the
spring. Peach trees and raspberries
are better set in the spring, but all
other trees, currants, grapes and
blackberries may be set in the fall
with decided advantage, except on
land which heaves badly.

to the latest figures there were before
the outbreak of the Boxer troubles,
1902 foreigners in the country, in
Guiding 1885 Americans, and 1862

The period of necessary privation in
the life OF the American is ended, ex-
cept perhaps, in isolated cases. In
every neighborhood there are some
who force themselves and their fam
lilies to live on the least food possible
to sustain life, to do without the COM
forts of easy chairs, and carpets, who
dress shabbily, use a rickety old vehi-
Gle as family wagon, and thus bring
themselves into premature grave,
merely to add few hundred dollars
more to the bank account.
If the prime mover in this accumu-
lation could witness the final use of
his money he would, if possible, turn
over in his coffin at the senseless
squandering of his hard earned dol
lars, and if in his power, would cry
aloud in thunder tones, to those who
are yet toiling and wearing life away,
to halt and take more ease, comfort,
recreation and pleasure in this world.
The desire and aim to secure com
potency is commendable, but when it
entails heavy sacrifices of needed
comfort and rest, driving one to bed
each night tired and weary in body
and mind, it is time 20 consider if the
results are worth suffi cient amount
of consideration to compensate for all
these weary hours and years of toll,
of suffering, and of privations which
materially shorten life, obscure
thought, and antagonize all higher
aim.

The secretary of the treasury in
Washington issues, every business
day, what is commonly known as ''the
daily treasury statement 1t shows
how much money the government has
on hand, and of what kind, gold, sill
yer and paper,-it also tells what the
receipts for that day, month, and year
have been, and also the expenditures.
It corresponds to the cash account of
an individual. Although table of
dry figures, these daily statements
contain many facts of interest to
thoughtful young Americans. Before
the Spanish War it used to cost about
a million dollars day to support the
United States government, or $780,
900, 900 year. But this large sum has
been surpassed. Government receipts
are grouped under three heads,-cus-
toms, internal revenue, and "miscella-
neous." The month of March, on
the other hand has shown a surplus
of $2,OOO'OOO. This daily statement
reveals, in black and white, the tre-
mendous costliness of war. Army,
navy, and pension expenditures are
chargeable to wars and the fear of
wars. The interest on the public debt
is Indirectly chargeable to the same
source; and so is considerable part
of the civil and miscellaneous expendi-
tures.-Household

ENGLAND ANGRY
Because Russia Has Secured
Coal Depot in Korea.
A Breach Of Faith and Injurious to
Great Britain.
Enaland Will Probably Take Pacific Measures
In the Trouble.

London, May 20.-The news that Rus
STA had secured a coal depot in Korea,
as announced, May IS, in dispatch 10
the Times from Pekin, has raised
storm of Indignation, and many OF the
Conservative organs have declared
that this Is merely another unfortu-
nate instance of the premiers utter IN
capability to protect British interests
in the Far East.
Among those who study Chinese
questions. the belief obtains that Rus
sia's latest move is a direct breach Oh
contract with and a blow against
Great Britain and Japan which brings
these nations face to face with grave
crisis, which pusillanimous diplomacy
will neither end nor mend.
The Globe openly advocates immedi-
ately sending powerful fleet TO horea
and bluntly demanding that Russia
forego the advantages she is alleged
to have secured in contravention WIN
the agreement of 1881.
However, though the important or
Hans are in bad humor over the mat
ter, 1t is said on good authority that
Lord Salisbury has much to Keen an
appreciation of Great Britains present
troubles to take any alarming action
in the immediate future, and that he
only contemplates diplomatic inquiries
and passive aid to Japan in the pro-
tests she will doubtless make.
At the Japanese legation. the news
was regarded with suspicion. not be-
cause the Russian. seizure of Masam-
pho was improbable, but because 1t
would be inopportune for Russia just
at the moment when Japan has the
power to sweep the Russian navy out
Of Eastern seas. OF this ability there
is not shadow of doubt at the lega-
ton, and confidence in their naval su-
premacy Is justified by the facts
They have heard at the legation that
France is under bond to Russia to help
redress the naval balance of power if
called upon, and the japanese hope
that this is the case, because in that
event 1t is argued, England could
scarcely keep out Of the fray.
At the Russian embassy, they decline
to discuss the subject, but there is rea-
son to believe that Russia diplomatical-
" contests the charge that she has vio-
lated the promise given to England not
to acquire territory in Corea as long
as England refrains from Selling Port
Hamilton. That pledge was given IA
years ago. and still holds good. say the
Russians, but they add that Russia has
not acquired territory in the proper
diplomatic acceptance Of the term. She
has merely obtained a lease Of land,
which is n very different thing.
1t is further argued that Corea is a
sovereign. Independent state, and that
If anybody feels aggrieved representa-
tons should be addressed to the Cor
can government. This is probably
what Japan will do in the first in
stance if shn desires to p Dstpone a con-
flict with Russia. but in the end she
must either acquicsce in the Masam-
pho matter or fight.
