Beers Capture Kitchener.
There is a rumor in military circles
that Lord Kitchener, commander-in.
chief of the British forces In South Al.
RIGA, has been captured by the Beers.
The war office denies all knowledge O.
the subject and discredits the story.
The last dispatch received from Gen.
Kitchener was dated from Pretoria and
sent from that city at Sis "Wednesday
night. reporting the invasion of Cape
Colony. The Beers have been active
in the neighborhood of Pretoria for
several days.
The situation in the northern dis
tricts of Cape Colony is more serious.
Fully 1000 Beers have invaded that
section. Grave fears are entertained
that Dutch sympathizers will join
the rebellion and that this will spread.
Although there is no fear as to the
ultimate result, the lack of a sufficient
number Of mounted troops is felt by
the British. 1t is reported that the
Beers have occupied Colesburg, south

TREATY WINS OUT. q

ments.


Washington, Dec. 22.-After spending
the greater part of the past fortnight
in considering the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty for the modification of the Clay
ton-Bulwer convention of 1850 the SEN
ate yesterday consumed only one hour
and ten minutes In amending it and
ratifying 1t as amended. During the
time there were six roll calls and sew
eral viva voce votes. The first FIVE OF
the roll calls were on amendments Of
fered by individual senator's and the
last n on the resolution to ratify the
treaty as amended. All the amend
ments except those reported by the
committee on foreign relations were
voted down by majorities averaging
about IS. The ratification resolution
was adopted by a vote of IS t. IS.
The senate was in executive session
for about al hour before the time for
voting arrived. listening to speeches by
Senators Thurston, Gallinger, Wolcott
and Bard explanatory of their atti-
tude. Senator Bard coEtended for the
adoption of his amendment giving
preference to American ships passing
through the proposed canal. Senator
Gallinger spoke in defense of the treaty
as 1t originally came from the execu-
tive. Senator Wolcott said that the
original treaty would have been agree
able to him, but added that he consd-
cred the agreement as 1t had been and
was about to be amended. preferable to
no treaty at all. Senator. Thurston
strongly advocated the treaty, saying
that as Great Britain owns and gov
ems a very large portion of the terri
tory Of North America, It was perfectly
right and proper that that country
should be consulted in the matter OF
the construction of an isthmian canal
When Senator Mason asked II 1t were
not also proper that Great Britain In
that event should pay part of the cost

Guardlos Against Anthrax

NJ
AS rule farmers and stock raisers
are too careless in their handling oi
animals affected by diseases that are
either unknown to the owners of the
animals or are known to be contagi-
Gus or infectious. Both anthrax and
blackleg, when known or suspected to
exist, should be carefully handled. The
man that has charge Of such animals
should be impressed with the fact that
those diseases are transmissible to
man and may prove quickly fatal.
There are instances on record where
post mortem investigations have result
ed fatally to the men that made them,
as the blood gives the disease by mere
ly coming in contact with the skin
ct human being. Not only the blood
but all parts of the carcasses may be
the means of conveying the disease.
This is especially true if the physical
condition OF the person exposed is not
OF the JEST
When AL animal is taken slightly
sick with a disease that is suspected
to be anthrax such an animal Should
in no wise be sold for meat, as it has
been found that even cooking will not
render harmless the germs OF anthrax
Moreover in that case the butchers
are constantly exposed. History tells
US of great life losses from eating ami
mails that had been slightly affected
by anthrax. For instance on the ISL
and of San Domingo an epidemic
broke out that carried away $4,000
people. A medical examination showed
that the disease was due to the eating
OF animals affected with anthrax. 1t
is said that epidemics of this kind fire.
guently break out in Central Asia,
where horse flesh is quite a common
article of food, the diseases being
started by the eating of horse flesh
that is tainted with anthrax.
The carcass Of the animal that has
died with anthrax is hard thing to
get rid of. Burying is not sufficient &c
kill the germs and they will get 70
the surface no matter how deeply the
carcass may be buried. Moreover the
carcass of the horse. is seldom buried
very deep. It is too much work to dig
hole deep enough to thoroughly de-
stroy even an ordinary disease. But
years after the burying Of a carcass
that was affected by anthrax cattl,
have died from eating the grass over
the grave. Investigations showed that
every blade of grass in that locality
contained anthrax germs. Burning is
the only method that can be depended
On, and this should be practiced wher-
ever possible. AS a second best man.
ner OF disposing Of the carcass we
might suggest air-slacked lime. though
this is not sure Of being effective due
to the fact that too little lime is gen.
orally used.

Poultry Notes.

The man that raises poultry should
have some way Of distinguishing the
products Of the different years. Put
ting on metallic rings is one Of the
best methods. Thus, one year the rings
can, be put on the right legs and the
next year on the left legs. This need
not be done till the fowls have just
about reached maturity. There will
be no danger Of confounding the first
and third years, for the third year
birds will be disposed Of generally by
the time the first year birds are grown.
But II it be desired to keep birds for
q number of years different colored
rings may be used. Thus for two years
use brass rings and for the next two
years use steel rings. They may also
differ In width. Again, one kind Of
rings might be used on all ages. but
the year dates might be put on them.
This, however IS not so good, as it
inecessitates catching the birds to: as,
certain their ages. i..5

About Ducks.

Ducks should not be kept too warm;
they can stand great deal OF cold and
exposure, says Country Gentleman.
They will prefer to remain out in. all
the snow storms, ana will seek the
house or shelter only at night. There
is one important point to be observed
in housing. Although thsy are natur.
ally water animals, they cannot stand
damp bedding. The litter must be
kept dry, otherwise they will be Grip.
pied with rheumatism.
Give them, at this time Of year, as
we'll as in warm weather, all the exer.
else possible. Yard them, If you will
but let the yards be of fair size.
A good ration for breeders is halt
cornmeal and half wheat bran, tc
which add liberal handful of coarse
or black builders sand; mix all thor
oughly together with water. and feed
in rather moist or sloppy consistency
and never dry. Three times a weeb
add small portion of soaked ground
beet scraps to this ration. Add also
boiled and finely chopped vegetables
and give whole cabbages every day.
Whole grain, like corn, is not natural
food for ducks. although they will eat
it. Soft and moist food is more to
their fancy. When they are fed, which
should be only twice a day, fresh water
should be within easy reach, as they
will take billful Of feed and then
wash it down with water. If the water
is omitted they sometimes choke.
Breeding ducks should not be allowed
to become over fat. l
