Cats Rats and Chickens.

A certain weil-known writer for ag-
ricultural papers says that '"the cat
should be fed but very little. If they
are given enough food to satisfy their
hunger, they will hunt but very little"
Now it has been our, fortune when We
lived in a house that there should be
one or more cats in il, and sometimes
others ut the barn, ard not one of them
was ever allowed to go hungry much
longer than the members of the family
did, yet most of them that we remem-
Der were good hunters. and seldom
would one of them ever eat a rat. We
lave seen q half dozen or more rats
piled UP around the doorstep in the
morning, when we were newly moved
to farm where the buildings had stood
empty for some time, and the cat that
caught and killed them, after she had
called her mistress to look at them, was
as ready for her breakfast as if there
had not been rat on the premises, aud
she had it, too. The cat hunts because
she likes it, just as many men do, and
if she was hunting because she was
hungry she would have found better
picking at the chicken pen than among
the rats at the barn. Our cats catch rats
and sometimes snakes and even frogs.
but never are hungry enough to eat
them, and. being well fed, seldom touch
a chicken or small bird as a half
starved cat will do. Starve no cats in
our neighborhoOd when we have chick
ems in the yard and birds in the trees

convention becoming known, the Japan

convention becoming known, the Japan
csc government regarded the act of Rus
STA with suspicion and orders were given
for the Japanese navy to hasten east
ward. Still this government felt that it
was powerless beyond making. an emphat-
ic protest against the secret agreement.
Then as, the different powers realized
that China and Russia were acting to-
gether vigorous protests were made
against the accession of the Alanchurian
province without consultation of all the
powers To this Russia made answer
that it claimed the right to negotiate
with any other power it chose without
consultation or notification to any other
government. This reply was supposed to
have been directed against England in
particular, as that country claimed to
have possessions along the line of the
railway.
The terms of the proposed Russian
Chinese convention still remain secret.
though it is known that a number OF
notifications have been made to the orig
inal treaty. The first of these declares
that Kinchow and Port Arthur shall not
be annexed, but, as at present, leased
from the Chinese government. The sec
ond modification is that Russia will not
insist upon a Russian resident at Houkf
den. In the third clause it is stated thai
the Chinese army will be permitted to
maintain order in Manchuria prior to the
completion of the railway, which it is de-
elared will not require Russian protec-
ton during construction. The final mod
ification declares that Russia will forego
her demand that mining and railway con-
cessions in Mongolia, Turkestan and
Kashgaria shall be granted to none but
Russian Subjects.

Hand or Machine Labor.

There are many kinds of work upon
the farm which, if performed by hand
labor, require much strength. and
which can be done equally we'll when
the machines are driven by other pow
er. The grinding of grain has passed
out of hand labor long ago, but the cut
ting of fodder, saving wood, pumping
water and running of churn and sepa-
rator are yet done on many farms by
main strength of hand labor. The
steam engine run by gasoline or other
fuel, the windmill and the tread power
are all in use for doing such work. and
each has its advocates. Can any one
decide which will do the most work at
the least cost, or the amount that it
will be profitable to employ either for?
Or must we wait until electricity be-
comes a cheaper motive power than
either?-EXchange

inches; rear; u inches; width, IS inches
Inside measurements. make the
coop of matched pine, with board floor,
the cleats being on the outside so as TO
raise the coop off the ground. The top
projects three inches at the sides and
four inches at the rear. make closed
front boards the same as the coop,
the front being hinged to the top and
front mitered so as to close tight when
down. The coop front is kept in place
by cleats on the inside, these cleats al
lowing about seven-eighths of an inch
space on both sides when the door is
down for ventilation.
The front has iron strips, with three
or four holes fastened about the center
for the purpose of forming hood to
the coop which can be set at different
angles by placing screw eyes to the
sides of coop. This feature of the coop
is grand, as by the hood the hot sun
can be kept out as we'll as driving rains
These coops save me many chicks each

in which corn fodder has been handled
The silo has solved the problem of
making the most out of this valuable
food, but not one farm in 100 or per-

cornstalks on most farms have fallen

FUNSTON IS REWARDED.
Kansas Soldier Made rBri gadier in the
Regular Ar1ny.

Gen. Fred Funston has Seen appointed
by the President as brigadier general
in the regular army as a reward for his
bravery in the capture of Aguinaldo. Gen.
Lloyd Wheaton was made a major gem
eral and Col. Jacob H. Smith was pro-
NOTED to a brigadier generalcy. Gen.
Funston is the youngest of the general
officers of the army being only 50 years
old He will not reach the voluntary
retirement age until 1923, or four years
after Gen. Leonard Wood reures. 1t Is
among the possibilities that Funston will
become the lieutenant general command
ing the army.
The promotion of Gen. Funston, an
nounced forty-eight hours after the news
of his bold exploit in capturing Agui-
naldo reached the United States, is, says
Washington correspondent, body
blow to the desk soldiers of the War
Department. No warrior in recent times,
not even excepting Gen. Miles, has arous-
ed such bitter resentment and enmlty
as the little soldier from Kansas by his
daring conception and bold execution. Ey7
cry man of infuence in the department
from Secretary Root down was arrayed
"9oihSN uho(Vul sHu tAe 4 ASoANNhS N''''
urged to hold mp the plan of making him
brigadier general in the regular service
until Il complete Investigation of his re-
cent achievement should be made.
The President, however, was not will
ing to shoulder the responsibility of turn
ing Funston down or of Withholding from
him the star of brigadier general in the
reorganized army. He made this clear
when he personally sent congratrlatory
message to Gen. Macarthur instructinS
the commander of the army in the Phil
ippines to convey his high appreciation
of the gallant conduct of Gen. Funston
and the officers and men of the army and
navy engaged with him in the Palanan
expedition.
Gen. Funston was notified by cable Of
the Presidents action. He will undoubt-
eddy be retained in the Philippines for
long time to come and given further
opportunities to display the valor and
daring which has characterized his com
duet since he first landed Mt Manila as
the colonel of the Twentieth Kansas vol
unteerS in the summer Of 1898.

Sally Ward was long acknowledged
throughout the South to be the fore
most of its bellies with the grand and
dashing manner" writes William Per-
rine in the Ladies Home Journal. 1T
is u Blue Grass legend that once in a
riding party, which included Tom Mar
shall and Miss Jennie Smith, Sally
urged her horse quite up the steps to
the second story of the Gait House.
She had a brother too, who created a
great sensation by shooting dead a
teacher for logging one of the younger
Ward boys. and who was acquitted on
the ground of self-defense. When
Sally Ward travelled in Europe she at
tracted attention in every capital as a
regal type of American beauty, and in
the South there was great delight when
it was learned how graciously she had
acquitted herself when she was pre-
scented at the court of st. James. She
was tall. with a finely symmetrical
form in her youth, her hands andyfeet
aristocratically small, and her voice
rich in the melodious fullness of its
tones. while her lily-white complexion.
her profusion of light-brown hair, and
her large, dark-blue eyes, impaired to
her not a little of the dazzling charac-
teristics of a blonde. She was credited.
too. with fine taste in dress, and her
silks. laces and jewels would have
graced royal wardrobe. In CONVEX
sation she was ready and fluent"

RUSSIA NAY FIGHT.

CONCESSION.
China Rejects Terms of Manchurian
Conyention-Japan Had Determined
onWar, but Conditions Switch Around.
and Now 1t Is Russia's Turn.

Russia has been checkmated in its own
favorite game of diplomacy. China has
toyed with the Cars Representatives
about the Manchurian convention so long
that diplomats had made their minds up
that a bluff was being worked and Rus
STA had the situation well in hand. So
firmly had this idea found root that Eng
land had practically retired from the
field disgruntled and resentful, fully sat
ished that Russia would have clear
sweep in its demand ON China.
The news that the Manchurian eonven-
ton has not been signed upsets all that.
1t now seems plain China has played a
waiting game and had Russia's moral
support when the other powers were
menaeing her fercely on the indemnity
question. Now that the indemnity sit
uation is to all intents and purposes dis
posed of China boldly announces that
Russia can have no concessions.
\ London correspondent asserts that
there can be only one result to this pro-
nunciamento. Russia cannot back down.
China dare not recede. Japan is deter
mined to fight for its own rights, which
the Manchurian convention seriously
menaced. Therefore Russia will have to
force China to yield and that will mean
japanese Intervention and war.
