THU DIbZ DOCTRINE.

Spsnish-American affairs, whether they
be South American or Central American or
Mexican, are all about equally perDlexing

Of especial study. Scarcely anyene profess
ses to understand the meaning of the differ
ent revolutions and counter revolutions Of
the different states, and it is only when
North American or European iIteres are
directly involved that any real attention is
paid to meridional politics. Events on the
Isthmus, however, and the meeting of the
Pan-American Congress in Mexico, render
it desirable that one or two specific facts
should be dsentsngled and made clear at
the present. time, since they are not merely
important now, but are likely to be still more
important in the future.
A week or two ago one of the Mexican
delegates to the Pan American Congress
made speech which attracted very wide
attention. In it, after speaking with cordial
approval of the Monroe Doctrine as being a
bulwark tG all American States against any
possible European aggression, he went on to
set forth what he was pleased to call the
Diaz Doctrine, styling it a sort of pendant

and the higher the prices they will-!be able

there has been fair degree of prosperity

this condition, and this is registered by 3
falling off in American sales of goods in

to the doctrine of Monroe. The Diaz Doc
trine is the doctrine that not only shall
every nation in both North and South Amer
lea be secured against absorption by any
European State, but that its territorial in
tegrity and independence should be assured
against. even its American neighbors. All
the Spanish-Americaus who heard this
Dias Doctrine ennnciated broke forth into
stard that the Spanish-American States
ought never to be subdued or absorbed by
the United States. In the eyes OF South and
Central Americans, indeed, the U. 8. is
often regarded as greedy for new territory
aud as being anxious at some day or other
TO extend its sovereignty over the entire
Continent. TO their Jealous imaginations
We appear to be eagerly seeking for pretexts

land troops, occupy territory, and finally,
under the guiseEof friendship, to acquire a
permanent foothold, as they think that we
have already done in Cuba.
Now, as matter OF fact, there is much
need Of a general recognition of this so.called
Diag Doctrine, but the record of the past
shows that il is not the United States
against which it will most probably be
invoked, but against those very States
whose representatives in Mexico applauded
it SO vigorously. If there is one lesson
which the study of South and Central
American history teaches more than any
other, it is the lesson that the more aggres-
sive Spanish States are always
dreaming Of conquering and absorbing their
weaker neighbors. No intelligent Ohilian,

Sudden Attacks of Gnpes.

Gapes frequently attack chicks I'M
expectedly. TO prevent gapes keep
the chicks perfectly dry Con the barn
floor is the best place) the first four
weeks. If the ground is cold or damp
do not let them out until it is dry,
as dampness is one of the causes Of
gapes. Should gapes appear give
crumbs of bread with few drops Of
turpentine on them, or to pint OF
corn meal add one teaspoonful of
turpentine, mix thoroughly, then
scald and feed once a day. See that
every chick eats, and if any refuse
put a pill of it down each. The tur-

but it is better than attempting to
use feather in the windpipe, as is
dSne by inexperienced persons.

DESTROYING cLoDs.,
It II . Hard Job, But Perseverance,
and Good Common Sense Ac-
c0mplish Wonders.

IF you have piece of hard land to
break, which is so baked as to come
up in clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with disk or cutaway
harrow ahead of plows, and break with
very small scooters, says a southern
farmer. Do not try to turn such land.
If you still have clods do not wait for
them to harden, but run heavy roller
or drag over and follow with some
pulverizing harrow the same day.
An hour or SO will do this for each
days blowing. Thus you will pulver-
ize most of them quite easily. Run
roller ahead of harrow SO as to crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t will pay to take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
so much cheaper afterwards; and the
yield will be SO much greater. Every
time you go over with harrow and
crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.

times right along before we quit.
We then planted and cultivated this
acre just as we did the rest of the field,
running the rows right along through
it. The yield was much more than
double any other acre. This has con-
tinued to be true for five years, in all
kinds of crops. All through the grow
ing season this acre can be distin-
guished as far as you can see the field.
All crops grow off quicker and yield
heavier. Couture is manure is true.
But after all the old proverbs IAN
ounce of prevention is worth 4 pound
of cure" holds good here also. If the
hard pan is broken up and the water
permitted to go on down, so as not
to saturate the soil and remain in it
too long, the baking will be prevented.
If the baking or running together is
prevented the clods will not form. This
is as true of bottom land as of upland.
Stop the soaking and you will prevent
the clodding. One other point is worth
considering here. DO not burn any
vegetable matter in your farm. Plow
it into the soil. This will enrich the
soil and prevent the baking and clod-
ding.

together advantageously in the same
pasture for many reasons. Partly be-

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain IL RIpening
and His stock Growing Fat, He
May HIVE Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country ON
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing Of
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where l saw
man drop 20 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is a bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices. 81
"A very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king Of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knec-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothc1ing. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"

How to Grow Broom Corn.

Broom corn thrives on any kind Of
soil that produces Indian corn or
maize. The ground should not be
worked deeply but should be fine and
smooth. Broom corn should be drilled
in rows about as far apart as corn.
1t should be planted after you are
through planting corn and not until the
ground is warm. One bushel of seed
will plant Is acres, or about one-fourth
of q peck per acre. 1t needs very lit
tie cultivation: so that it is kept clean
oftweeds it will grow. The best time
to harvest it is when the seed is in
dough. The best way to harvest is to
break all the stalks one way and cut
the tops with a corn knife.-Prairie

Homework and the Hands.

When engaged in sweeping and dust
ing and similar household tasks the
hands should be protected with loose
gloves. If rubber gloves are not used
in dishwashing, a dishmop should be
used. to prevent the hands from being
so frequently immersed in hot soapy
water. After doing rough, coarse
work which has begrimed the hands,
before attempting to wash them rub
in the pores little vaseline or oil to
loosen the dirt, then wash them in
hot water and pure soap, using hand
scrubbing brush. J.ather them well
and remove every particle of CRIME
from about the nails. Turn out the
soapy water and rinse them in tepid
water and lastly in cold, so that they
will not be made too tender. Hard
water is very harsh and trying to the
skin of face or hands, and b1iled, dis
titled or soft rain water should be
used when obtainable Chicago Daily

BRCILERS FOR MARKET.
This Is a Business That Pays Quite
Well, If Conducted on Common
Sense Principles.

Some one asked, short time ago,
about rearing broilers for market.
First, the breed. 1t seems from the
various reports of broiler raisers,
that Plymouth Rocks are almost the
ideal breed for the purpose, the only
objection to the Barred is the dark
pin feathers, which objection does
not hold good with the White Rocks.
White Wyandottes are hard to beat,
also. The idea is to get breed that
will stand forcing and will present
nice appearance dressed at the age
you should market for broilers.
The first day they are fed sand.
after that they should be fed every
two hours during the day. The first
week they should be fed rolled oats,
millet seed and cracked corn, sweet
milk, sand and powdered charcoal;
the next week add a mash, and use q
greater proportion of cracked corn;
the third week and on until mar
keted, for breakfast feed cracked
corn, then chopped raw potatoes. A
meat mill is the thing for this, then
chopped cabbage, next mash, and last
a full feed of cracked corn. Before
this last meal no more is given than
will be eaten up quickly; if from any
cause they fail to be hungry, miss a
meal or two. This will generally
bring them around all right. The
last few feeds before marketing stir
cotton seed meal and treacle (mo-
lasses) in the mashes; this is to give
them the rich yellow color desired.
At the end of the eighth week the
birds should average almost. if not
quite, two pounds each. Continuing
this course, by IS weeks they should
make 51s pound roastcrs. 1T is inn
possible to get such results from
mongrel stock. but of course. should
You be compelled to use them. such
feeding is bound to result in quick
growth.-Emma Clearwaters, in Ohio

habit of reading or talking to the

Mothers Who Are Too Kind.

The so-called good mother" is too
frequently really a bad one. She
makes of her children monsters Of
selfishness, and never ends her vol
untary slavery to them. So far as she
is concerned, as mother finds her
chief joy in being a constant slave to
her boys and girls, no one need COM
plain; but such a course ruins the
children. They grow up into selfish,
ill-bred, dictatorial men and women,
without self-control or discipline of
mind or body, and utterly ignorant Of
that flower of courtesy which each
human being should wear forever,
fresh and fadeless, making the weari-
some places of human life endurabls
by its charm. The most beautiful girl
in the world, if she thinks of herself
alone, and shows it by bad manners,
merits only contempt.-N. 7. Weekly.
