TURKEY YIELDS TO FRANCE.
Rupture of Diplomatic Relations Be- tween France and Turkey
 AyerteL.

Paris, Aug. @5.-Turkcy has yielded to French pressure, as was inevitable, and full rupture of the relations between the two countries has been avertcd. The official communiQue an- nouncing the granting of the French demands follows:
 'In consequence of the declaration made to the porte by the French ann baSsador that he acts under instruc- tions from the minister of foreign affairs, an imperial trade has been is sued declaring that no obstacle shall be opposed to the free exercise by the Quay company of the rights re- sulting from their cOnccSsion.'
 A tirman for the settlement of the matters in question will, it is believed, be issued shortly.

EDUCATION A NECESSITY.
The Farmer, in Order to Achieve Success, Must be Liberally
 Educated.

There is no profession or calling known among men, in which thor
 ough education is more necessary to success than farming. The farmer has to deal with all the natural sciences, and whether ignorant or informed, must abide the results. If he knows nothing of botany, he is handicapped from the start. If he knows nothing about agricultural chemistry, or the laws of plant growth except what is necessary to distinguish between a very poor and very rich soil, or to know what plants grow best in sum- mer and what in winter, he is at se- rious disadvantage when competing with the best educated farmers. If ignorant of zoology, entomology, my cology or ornithology, he is at dis Sdvantage wherever his business touches these sciences, and suffers loss propOrtioned to his lack of informa- tion. Of course, it is not expected that farmers generally shall be experts in all these branches of scientific llnoWl- edge; but if they are grounded in the elementary principles, they will know where to go for what they want. A wise philosopher has said that the

THE SOLDIERS IN MANILA.
Present Force Considered Inndc- quate for Emergencies. and to
 he Rcinforced.

Manila. Aug. 26.--In the city of Ma nila there are now less than one thou sand effective soldiers, and it has been decitfCcs to increase this number by four companies of infantry. The of hcial reason for the increase is that the guard duty is too heavy for the present force. As q matter of fact, however, there is a feeling that, al- though there is no apparent uprising in the future such as is always possi- ble among the Malays, it would be better to have d sufficient body of troops available.
 Gen. Chatfee says he considers the city of Manila to be perfectly orderly and he can see no prospect of an up rising.
 Commissioner Wright thinks the people "cNtremely peaceable." He is satisfied that although among cer- tain class there is some discontent on account of the land tax, which is not vet underst cod. this class is not like ly to foment trouble.
 Many army officers say they are EEHtlllSu at tit luCltdSS III tlt Hlhl- tary force. They think that, with the military guard withdrawn from the prison, an uprising there might result in the release of about eighteen hun- dred prisoners,
 Civil officials look upon this con- tingency as unlikely, inasmuch as the 500 white police could mobilize at the prison before any of the prisoners gould escape and become dispersed throughout the disaffected district.

FACING STARVATION.
Terrible Suffering Reported from ZacntaEata County. Texns-Re-
 lief Urgently Needed.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 26.-Re- ports from Zacatapata county confirm the news that the poorer classes there are facing starvation. They must have immediate help in the way of food or the results will be terrible. Range water has failed, and cattle are too weak to travel and are dying rapidly. The country is literally burned up by drought. There are no evergreens to be seen but cactus plant. This county is 50 miles from the near est railroad, and whatever in the way of food that is sent to the farmers in the tamine-striclien plane must be hauled from Laredo. a two days trip at best.
 Mayor Hicks of this city has start ed relief fund, and has already sent a small sum of money to Laredo to be used in buying food for the sufferers.

HERE AND THERE.

Tt takes the right kind of feed to produce eggs, just as it does to produce bone, meat or muscle.
 It is a very poor farmer who can't make $500 a year on 100 acres of good farming land. That is five dollars per acre, and represents ten per cent. on land at $50 per acre. There is plenty of that sort of land all over the southwest.
 The Sea Island cotton crop of 1S99-1900 was calculated by the Unit de States department of agriculture as one of the largest ever grown, amounting to 98,33S bales. Large quantities are now used for rercer- ized yarns. This cotton is also very much in demand for making nigh class goods.
 Green pasturage is the chief fac tor in profitable pork production. Corn to put finish on is equally nec- essary. Oats, or any winter grain, al- falfa, cowpeas, sorghum and Bermuda and Rescue grass are sufficient for the purposes of growth. and in the sonth, west can be had all the year round.

American Competition Worries the Bankers and Manufacturers
 of Europe.
BALANCE OF TRADE AGAINST THEM.
~They Perceive" Says Former Scna- tor Washburn. "rhat We Are Just Getting Rendy"-The Power of American ReprisnIs Would He Terrible, Says London Outlook.

London, Aug. 25.-Former Senator W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, Yrior to sailing for home on the American line steamer St. Louis, said 10 a representative of the press that he had found considerable uneasiness among the bankers and manufactur- CTS on the continent concerning American competition.
 They perceive,' he added. that we are just getting ready, and in no re- spect is it likely they can beat us in the future. How long can Europe stand to pay d balance of trade of s65O,OOO, ,Oo0 a year, after all our se- eurities are sent back? Some able con inental observers to whom l put the inquiry were unable to answer. They fear us.'
 Commenting on the "fantastic" idea of a commercial bond of the Eu- Topean nations against the United States, the Outlook says: "One might as we'll try to hang a Venetian blind over the sun as to try to exclude the infuenc of American industries from the world. For one thing, Great Britain would be no party to the bond. For another, the power of American reprisals would be terrible. Even now Germany is on the verge of a struggle between classes, caused by the proposed tariff. Under the German tariff Austria would suffer grievously. It is not easy to see how countries which are at issue with themselves and each other, and whose fiscal arrangements excite class against class, could agree on a policy against a commerce competitor.

IMPORTANT FACTOR IN HOGS.
An Important Factor in Hog Raising it to Keep the Animals
 Growing.

It is possible to keep the hog grow ing and thrifty in July and August, as well as in April and May, if the conditions are made favorable. Hogs may be grown successfully by soiling, but this plan requires more attention than many farmers want to give. So the next best way is to provide a ing to the system, and are just suited to pigs in dry, hot weather. This suc- culent food is also rich in the muscle and bone forming materials, and on a pasture the pigs get exercise which is very necessary for their proper de- velopment. But wether the pigs are on pasture or not, they never will be thrifty in summer unless plenty of pure, fresh water is given them. This is of great importance, yet l believe it IS a matter that is neglected by very many farmers. Of course, slop is partial substitute, but will not en- tirely answer the purpose of drinking water. To get an idea of about how much they will drink, measure the water out to them in pail some dry, hot day in August. You may be sur prised at the quantity they will con- sume.
 Another thing in the case of hogs in warm weather, and one which is too often overlooked, is shade. In go. ing through the country how often we see half dozen of more hogs con- fined in a small lot entirely destitute of shade. Again, it is common prac- tice among some farmers to pen their hogs up in a small yard adjoining the hog house, where they are kept throughout the summer in mud and filth. The building answers very well for protection from sun and storm, but a grove or wood lot would be much better. You can smell some hog pens farther than you can see them, and to confine these animals in such places at any time of the year is very wrong, and especially in hot weather. There is no cleaner animal on the farm than the hog, and he will keep the pen and yard in a sanitary condition if given a chance to do so. The hog is a great economizer of food, and it surely will pay farmers to study closely everything relating to feeding pigs improving their pens and rations, and to look after their general dealth and comfort, for the hog crop is an important one with the average farmer, and it is these 1itt1e details that we nnuSt look a fter carefully, if we expect to grow hogs at a good proft.-V.

GASPED AND FELL DOWN DEAD.
Sudden Demise of United States Dis trict Attorney Evans, of
 Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 26.-Robt. G. Evans, United States district attor- ney for Minnesota, died suddenly, yes terGay, from heart disease, on the balcony of his home ill Queen avenue, kcnwood,
 About eight o'clock Mir. Evans went to the bedroom of his daughter to awaken her. He crasped the foot rail of the bed and shook it, seemingly un- able to speak. Just as she awoke Mir. Evans staggered from the room and made his way, with difficulty, to the balcony over the front porch. There he seized the railing. threw back his head and gasped, then sank to the floor dead.
 He had been a sufferer from heart disease for over year, and a sudden attack of the trouble carried him off.
 MT. Evans was 47 years old. He was a prominent candidate before the leg islature last winter to succeed Sena- senate, but was defeated by M. E. Clapp, of St. Paul. He had been en- tertaining Senators Fairbanks, of In diana, and Quarles, of Wisconsin, the past week, and the party returned from a fishing excursion to Alexandria on Thursday. He seemingly was in excellent health up to a few hours be- fore his death.
 Dr. Moore, his physician, says he does not think the runaway accident of eight days ago in which Senat or Fairbanks and Mir. Evans were badly bruised and shaken up, in any way hastened Mir. Evans death. He over- worked himself in the late campaign, and it is thought this aggravated the trouble. His wife died four months ago, and it is believed by his friends that this great loss hastened his deat He leaves three children, Mar garet, 22; Stanley, 20, and Graham, IF.

next best thing to the possession of knowledge is to know where to go to obtain it. Without education in the sciences upon which success depends, farmers can not hope to hold their own with the commercial and manu- featuring interests, with the best training the world of commerce can bestow. These branches do not come in contact with any science but that of numismatics, and that is acquired by simple contact. or as is often the case, by inheritance. Every operation of the farm, from turning the furroW to protecting harvesting and feeding out the crop, is based on natures un- repealable laws, and a knowledge of these laws is science. Such knowl- edge is never inherited or acquired 1 by accident or incident. It must be secured by hard study and persistent thought. There is no calling, with the exception of that of teaching, that re- quires for best results such broad learning as agriculture. The time is rapidly approaching when farmers must be educated in every branch of knowledge which effects their calling early in life to be effectual. It should or they must take position with the rear guard. This training must be- gin at home, continue in the public schools, be carried on through the ag- ricultural colleges, and continue through life. When a farmer becomes too old to learn any more, he should sell his farm, move to town and do the best he can.--TeXas Farm and Ranch.

FINE ARTS AT WORLDS FAIR
MT. Charles Vi. Kurtz. of New York, to Re Prof. Halsey C. Ives'
 Chief Assistant.

St. Louis, Aug. 26.-Charles NJ. kurtZ, of New York, who was assist ant chief of the department of fine arts at the Columbian exposition, has been assigned to the same position for the Louisiana Purchase exposition by the executive committee. The appoint ment was made at the recommenda- tion of Prof Halsey C. Ives, chief of the department of fine arts, and of the committee on fine arts.
 ''This appointment gives St. Louis the same organization which produced such al. excellent result for the Co., lumhian eNposition," said Isaac W. Morton, chairman of the committee on fine arts. 'Mr. Kurtz has an es- tablished reputation as an organizer of gre at art exhibits. He has a wide acquaintance among artists and col lectors, both in this country and in Europe, and can elicit their best ef- fortS."
 "St. Louis fine arts section starts out under attractive auspices" con- tinued Mr. Morton. Ut has on its staff two men who were the moving force in the greatest temporary art display that has been collected in this country up to the present. These men have overcome all the difficulties that lie ill the way of such a work, and are in position to be pioneers in new fields while holding all that is good in the old fields. It is certain that no time or money will be spent in fine art col lection experiments at the St. Louis exposition"
