London, July I5.-The viakfontein fight
has come near TO spelling Waterloo" for
the government.
The officials at the war office are more
worried now than at any previous time
during the war and are working strenu-
ously to explain and atone for the mis-
take.
The incident has awakened in the public
mind an eargerness. most unfortunate for
the government, to know the details or
operations. and an ever-increasing dissat-
isfaction with the progress of British
arms in South Africa.
For months the public confidence in
and admiration for Lord Kitchener. has
been waning. now he is openly and severe
ly criticised.
BLOOD NAY SUCCEED KITCHENER.
A rumor, which cannot be substantiated
Is current that Gen. Sir Bindon Blood,
who has been operating in Eastern Trans
vaal. will soon succeed Kitchener in the
command OF the British forces In South
Africa.
Shrould this change occur Il probably
would be chiefly due 10 differences of
opinion between Lord Milner and Lord
Kitchener and would be announced in the
form of a promotion, accompanied by the
statement that the operations in South
Africa no longer justify the presence
there of an officer of the seniority OF
Lord Kitchener.
There is little doubt that Lord Miner
and Kitchener have had several disagree
nents and the high commissioner does not
want TO return TO South Africa as long
as the hard. high-handed Gen. Kitchener
remains in control there.
The censorship OF one newspaper de-
spatch has crystallIzed public sentiment
concerning the conduct on the war in
South Africa. Dissatisfaction. long pent
up. now finds free vent not, strangely
enough, through the columns OF the op-
position newspapers. but in the govern
ment jornais.

HELP THE HOGS ALONG.

Alfalfa is well-liked forage crop
for hogs in the west. 1t will be pop
ular in the east when it is better un-
derstood.
1t is too dangerous to take the risk
of driving fat hogs this time of year.
You can save time and trouble by using

Ring tie hogs if it is actually neces.
sary, but do it as humanely as posi-
BILE. Get the best rings and the best ap-
planes and do it just right.
Shade is an absolute necessity for
the comfort of hogs in the heat of sum-
mer. It is as important to furnish
shade for them as it is food.
Never get so busy as to neglect your
hogs. A stroll through the fields every
few days might bring to your notice
some disease or irregularity that
might be costly if neglected.
Don't hesitate to ask your neighbor
how he manages his hogs if he makes
more of success in this line of bust

you if he is gentleman, and you may
get some pointers in this way that

piece of cloth and place between the
end pieces and the trough. Then, aft
er you have your end pieces on, get a
piece of hath just long enough and fit
between the ends, and nail it length
wise just above, the level of the trough.
This will keep the chickens out of the
water. Put two eyes on the top of the
end pieces to hang it by. Drive stakes
in the ground just far enough apart to
let the trough swing. Put pins in the
top of the stakes to fit the eyes on the
end pieces of the trough. The top of
the trough should be about six inches
above the ground. You can use your
judgment about painting it. If you
do, put some water in it and let it
stand about day before allowing the
chickens access to it.-Poultry Keeper.

SUNSHINE FOR HOGS,
POINTS to BE Considered in the%C Con.
struction and Inside Arrange
-. ment OF Pens.

Why is it that the nature of the hog
has been so misunderstood? He does
not thrive on filth, hislpen and his food
should be clean, and there is one other
point that has been too often lost sight
of, his pen should not be dark and dis
NAL. The hog likes sunlight. The
Maryland experiment station says
that the hog is an animal to which sum
shine is just as essential as it is to the
corn plant. Neither corn nor pork can
>be successfully produced without
plenty of sunshine. In this latitude
and farther north this sunshine in win
ter will have to be brought into the
pens through glass, but farther south,
under normal conditions, it is only nec-
essary to face the pen to the south;
allow the suns rays to reach the back
of the pen on the beds and give good
shelter and protect from the north and
west winds. In constructing the hog
pen for the station, the following
points have been observed: (1) 1t is
faced to the south so as to permit the
rays of the sun to shine upon the beds

the pen in the winter season and also
to give shade in that portion in sum-
mer. (2) The lattice CONSTRUCTION be-
tween the pens at the: ends and rear
admit of free circulation of air in
warm weather. (3) The location Of
the manure pit in the center and below
the level of the sleeping and feeding
floors, with all the drainage below it,
aids materially in maintaining prop
er sanitary condition: (4) Swinging
gates close the pigs into their beds
while the manure is being loaded. (5)
The manure pit is concreted, which en-
ables the saving of all liquid increment
which, with the pig, amounts to 81 per
cent of the total manure value. co.
Feed bins are placed in front of each
pen, which facilitates feeding and en-.
ables keeping different feeds for each
pen if desired. Some of these require
ments may seem pretty nice for swine
according to the old ideas, but they are
correct and important to success in
raising the best pork.

LATEST THING IN BEES.
Everybody Is Now Trying to Produce
q Race of Insects with Very
Long Tongues.

The latest fad in bees is strain with
long tongues that can extract the nee
tar from the deep tubes of the red
clover blossoms. Beekeepers have for
long time coveted the honey in the
red clover blossoms, and the italian
bees when introduced into this coun-
try were supposed to be able to reach
it, and the job was placed in their
hands. But after lapse of time it
was discovered that but a small per
cent. of them did any work on red clo-
yer blossoms.
OF late the fact has been developed
that some bees have longer tongues
than Others, Various ingenious con-
trivances have been made to get the ex-
act measurements of the bees tongues,
and it has been found that they vary
in length all the way from 1900 to
20-10O of an inch, the last-named be-
ing very rare. If I am not mistaken,
a few, perhaps, have exceeded this. It
seems that the required length is
about 25-1OO.
Every beekeeper of note is now
pussy Improving MS stock along this
line, and if you were to pick up bee
journal of the present you would fndin
most of the advertisements of queen
breeders the announcement of the
tongue length of the breeding stock.
Everybody is confident that it will re-
quire but a little time and pa thence to
add length to the tongues of all bees,
for there has been so much attained
in breeding bees in other ways that
this does not seem Impossible. It is
we'll known that the common red clo-
yer is perhaps the heaviest nectar pro-
ducing plant known, and honey from
it is of fine quality. The value will not
altogether lie in the honey crop, but
the complete fertilization of the bloom
will add greatly to the seed crop, thus
beneiting the farmer.-A. II. Duff, in
Kansas Farmer.

Food Anect. the wool

Deep pastures or lowlands are not
conducive, to the health Of sheep, as
they prefer upland pastures and q
great variety of grasses. It is known
that the quality Of the food and the
pasture has more influence on the
wool than does climate. Fat sheep
produce heavier and coarser heeces
than do those that are poorer in flesh.
That the food is an important factor
in affecting the quality of wool is
shown by the fact that when fine wool
sheep have been taken from the east
to the west the fneness. is not always
retained, although the sheep will
gradually become larger and the
6eeces heavier.

Reaerv0ir for the Farm.

There is one thing TIL at every farmer
should do, if his land is in such shape
that he can, and that is to dam up a
ravine on his farm so as to form lake
not mud-hole, but a lake. know
hundreds of farms on which this can
be done at little expense and depth
of ten to twenty feet of water secured
I have noted many sorry attempts at
building dams for this purpose, the
work being less than half done, with
the usual result-a broken dam and a
shallow puddle. have also seen the
work we'll done, and a fine lake 200 to
300 yards long, 80 to, 60 feet wide and

ice are taken every year.-Fzed Grun-

Feeding Richness Into ERxs.

The question is now being raised as
to whether richness can be fed into
eggs, and the amateurs are trying to
demonstrate that it can be done. One
man asserts very positively that his
eggs are richer when he feeds very
rich foods than when he feeds foods
not so rich. The trouble with this
kind of evidence is that it is not exact.
A man reports thing as being so be-
cause he believes it is so, relying on his
senseNOf taste. But, as with the ques-
ton of feeding fat into milk, so here,
appearances are not to be relied on.
All analysis, of the eggs will show that
the increase of richness is imaginary.
