Pekin. March 23.-British headquar-

Russian and British troops from the
disputed territory at Tientsin. NJ. De
Giers, Russian minister to China. be-
lievese that everything will be AMIGA
bly, adjusted at London and st. Peters
burg and doubts the probability OF
further trouble in the matter. Gen.
Voyro--, commander of the French
troops, has ordered new regiment to
Tientsin to replace the one now there.
French officers here think it a mis-
take to leave a regiment recruited IN
the city at Tientsin. This regiment is
com posed of the tough Paris element.
At a meeting Of the foreign ministers
held yesterday the only question con-
sidered was that of policing the lega-
ton quarters.
A committee of commissioners has
been appointed to discover China's re-
| sources and report on her ability 20
| pay the indemnity to be demanded by
| the powers. Many ministers are
strongly opposed to China's having to
men here for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary.
Even those ministers who were here
| during the siege are tired of seeing
Pekin a military camp. They hope
China will be put upon her feet as
soon as possible.

PROPER CARE OF MILK COWS DURING
THE WINTER.

In order to secure the most milk
possible during the winter months a
great many 'dairymen keep their COWS
housed from early fall untillate spring,
giving them but little if any outdoor
air and exercise, says G. Jeffry in Ehe
american 4gricgLturist. Now these
changed conditions are all right if the
change gives the COWS greater com
fort and health. But in a good many
stables the ventilation IS decidedly
bad and the animal is day after day
laying in g stock Of disease germs, for
whatever you may do to your stables
and however we'll you may treat your
COWS as to feed and care, if ventila-
ton has been imperfect OF neglected
it is sure to result in some form of
disease. Circulation and ventilation
are inseparable and Indispensable
good that does not carry the foul air
out of the stable and supply Cresh and
wholesome air in its stead. The air
of the stable should never be ex-

do not communicate with the outside
air, they are of but little use, as the
hay, grain and straw readily absorb
the foul aGr, which is returned to the
system again in the form of feed to
continue it's deadly work.
The Ventilators should go from the
stable up through the roof, and a cir
culation should be brought about by
taking air through the walls to the
ventilatiors in such a way as to pro-
duce a direct supply of fresh air. By
arranging these Mentilators at each
corner of the building a perfect cir
culation may be effected. / know of
no case of Tuberculosis where the
stables have a good circulation OF
good wholesome air and have no
knowledge of any animals that are
kept in open sheds ever being afflicted
with this disease. Warmth is not the
greatest essential to comfort and
health. Exercise in the sun with a
real health and comfort. The dairy
COW must have it and plenty of it or
she will not do her best as a healthy
milk producer.
This is a subject which must be con-
sidered vital to every milk producer,
as no milk can be a healthful food
that comes from a diseased eow. All
animals are affected to a greater or
less extent if they r. not furnished
with pure air and proper exercise.
The strong and robust do not become
SO by idleness. Garry out natures
plans. Give plenty of sunlight and
air, pure and bracing, with moderate
exercise to bring the various functions
into active play, and you will kill the
disease you have been nursing.

OUR FARMERS.
The VaIuaI lie Toad.

Gardeners should appreciate and
protect the toad. The little hoppers
are great consumers of the insects
that would require vegetables worth
$50 to feed them during the season.
At that rate the farmer should find it
profitable to furnish a living for toads.
On my premises, not quite a half
mile from my garden, is a place in
which the toads make their home.
During the growing season, every
evening, the little fellows come hop
ping into the garden, where they eat
so long as their appetites endure and
the supplies of insects hold out. They
keep my garden free from larvae, and
they reduce the number of insects
perceptibly. Some of them clay for''
the insects in the daytime, and in the
Cabbage patch it is an interesting
sight to see the n~oiseless, bright-eyed,
patient toads darting out their tongues
capturing the flies that come within
reach. We take special pains never
to modest or scare these visitors, and
some OF them are so used to seeing
one or another of the family that they
are not startled when they meet the
familiar persons.-Erchdnqe.

Women in New Fields of Labor.

Woman has invaded fields of labor

LADIES' COLUM NJ.
THE CORN MEAL GRIEVANCE.

Of all our food grievances to-day
alas! how many they are-that touch
ing corn meal is perhaps the gravest,
and also the most ar-reaching, since
Gastronomically, there is no class of
dishes which more surely tickle the
unspoiled Or discriminating palate
than those made from pure (naturaD
corr meal; while there are none, from
their inexpensiveness, SO easily COM
handed by the poor.
We have only to look at a healthy
pig. in market condition, to appreci-
ate the wealth of nutritive gifts in
corn. And when we reflect that that
same animal is our nearest of kin
physiologically, we wonder why we
do not ourselves receive greater ply
steal benefit from the same source.
The answer is very simple,-it is COM
mercially profitable to devitalize corn
meal, as by so doing, keeping qualities
are developed not possessed by the
pure produce. In fact, corn meal as
commercially handled is almost as free
from liability to grow musty as ashes
tos, cork, or steel filings, while it is
of these.
To effect the desideratum mention
ed a bove, the corn instead of being
dried by slow natural methods, is put
into kilns and dried in a few hours,
by a heat so intense that it's natural
characteristic qualities of flavor, etc.
are entirely lost. But that is only
half the outrage. If you have ever
observed a granary to which rats have
had access, you will have noted that
only the soft white substance lying in
the cone shaped depression of the
corn kernel has been eaten away,
leaving the rest of the kernel uu-
touched. One would suppose that
this discrimination was made because
of the hardness of the portion reject
ed, but such is not the case. These
hard-toothed little robbers have a far
wiser motive for their selection. The
soft Substance in the corn kernel is
the germ, the vital part, the muscle
builder, the brain feeder. And this
germ, because it will not granulate,
and because it the most readily be-
m musty, is entirely removed,
leaving the devitaliUed portion reject
ed by the rat to be calcined in the
kiln and ground for our use.
What wonder that it is odorless,
favorless, and that it passes through
the a~limentary canal almost unchang-
ed! It is enough to make one weep
to think of the barrels of this imita-
ton food consumed in orphan
asylums and other institutions for the
helpless alone. And what shall be
said of those who are responsible for
the loss to all classes of the food val
ne of our great staple?-GoOd House.

ScaIded and Dry Picked.

The NeaO YoaE Produce RevSeqU says:
Many shippers, seeing dry picked
spring chickens quoted higher than
scalded, have been inclined to dry
pick all their chickens, which is a
serious mistake. Large dry picked
chickens do demand a premium of
one to two ceGts i've sosided, as they
can be used in place of Philadelphia
Or nearby chickens, but small dry
picked are not wanted by any class Of
trade eGceptatcheap prise, and where
the birds run small they are more at
tractive and sell better when scalded.
