RUMoRs OF CHANGES.
Shifting Of Positions in the Diplo
matte Service.

Henry White, at present secretary of en-
bassy at London, is the latest and most
formidable candidate for the vacancy in the
Italian embassy to be created by the re-
tirenent Of Ambassador Meyer Mr. White
is strongly urged by Senator Lodge and has
a good records in diplomatic practice. He
was secretary of the embassy when Mr..
Hay was ambassador and consequently he
has warm friend In the Secretary.
Mr.. Bethany Sterer. NOW minister to
Madrid, is to go to Berlin as ambassador,
to succeed Andrew d, White when that
officer retires, which, it is asserted, will be
next fall. The only contingency that may
defeat Mr.. Storers aspiration in this direc-
ton lies in the attitude Of the Ohio sena-
tors toward his promotion. If they are
jointly opposed they may defeat the pro-
posed appointment. a.
Mr.. Storer's retirement from Madrid will
leave a vacancy there which rumor con-
meets with the name of Mr.. Henry Clay
Evans. the retiring pension commissioner
though it is learned" upon inquiry that this
Is not yet assured. o.

MISSIONARIES CLAIMS.
No Action Regarding the Damages
inflicted by the Boxers.

The appropriations committee of the
House has as yet taken no action on the
recommendation of the President to pay by
appropriation 81. 100000 Of the missionary
claims growing out of the Boxer trouble in
China. and an informal understanding has
been reached that 1t will be inadvisable to
pay their claims before they have been ad-
Indicated in the usual manner by a COM
mission Of some other body and also before
China has paid the $25 900 GOO indemnity
coming to this country The matter came
up recently when the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill was under consideration
and Chairman Cannon called In Mr. Hit of
the foreign affairs committee, to get his
view of the subject. All agreed that the
claims ought to be adjudicated before being
paid and ought to await China's settling up
1t Is probable this terminates any present
appropriation of the amount Of these
claims

It is stated here that there will be no

Mr.. THING ANSWERS.

Your correspondent asks a question
and proceeds to answer it himself. He
answers as we'll as | am able to do in the
main. | am aware that pair of horses
will do great deal more work than q
pair of oxen. This is especially true IN
harvesting and blowing. | sometimes
get discouraged on a hot day, especially
if have pair of cattle that are inclined
to be warm natured. But the advantage
is not all with the horses. 1t costs a
great deal more to hitch pair of horses
than a pair of oxen and it takes more
time to do it; and we can get into the
field as quickly with the oxen as the
horses.
If man is snug enough and saves
every cent, both time and money, he
may use pair of horses until he uses
them up and come out square, but the
ordinary man will use the horses up in
five to twelve years and unless he is a
good calculator he will not be able to
tell where they have gone to, while the
oxen if they have eaten as much pro-
| vision as the horses, will sell for enough
to pay for another yoke and have enough
| left TO pay his taxes. 1t makes all the
difference in the world who owns the
teams, some men always have a pair of
fat cattle and Others always fat horses.

but admire good team of white faces.
There is young man drives by my
house occasionally with team of six
white-faced steers, and years old,
and | never see him or his steers but
l think of the money he will make if he
keeps on in the way he has started.
like good colt or good horse, but
had rather have boy with a yoke OF
steers by far. There is no questioning
with oxen but they stand for just what
is in them and will sell any time for what
they are worth.-D. ii. Thing in Journal

AaniIr GREEN BONE.

The advocates of green bone for poui-
try often, and indeed usually fail to give
an idea of W hat green cut bone is or should
be. We remember only one who was
careful to state that it should be bone
ON which there was not any tainted
meat. Better have no meat on it at all
than meat that has begun to decay, as
tainted meat not only imparts its un-
pleasant flavor to the eggs if fed regular
ly, but it conveys the germs Of decay so
that the eggs grow stale and rot more
quickly, but the dressed chickens tna'
have been fed on it will not keep even IN
cold storage, and out of it they spoil al
most before they can be fitted for the
table. We do not approve of its use
even when it is the best that can be pro-
cured, but the stale bones with rotten
meat ON them, that are usually offered al
the country markets after they have
been under the bench day or two, are
too much like the offence of the King OF
Denmark, so frank, it smells to
Heaven"

HOlSTelNS FOR PLEASURE ANO
PROFIT.

Unauestionably the sun does not shine
upon a country that has made such RAPID
improvement in its various breeds OF cat
tie as America. Our breeders have been
stimulated by competition and the great
demand for good milk and butter for the
fast growing population of our towns and
cities. The advancement made In the
last % years is enough to astonish the
natives. If three-quarters of the farmers
of the eastern states could have attended
the great Goth century interstate fair a!
Trenton, n. j., last season, much good
would have resulted to every close oo-
serving farmer.
Throughout New England to-day per-
haps no breed of cattle for all purposes
| is attracting more attention than the
Holsteins. So rapidly are these cattle
being improved that great results are
reached by many individuals in the
production of large quantities OF milk
and butter by great specimens OF the
breed, both cows and heifers and both
publicly and officially tested. Yet the
increasing demand is beyond the supply
| for the best specimens of this beautiful
breed. The homesteads of New Eng.
land are already blessed by peace and
plenty because of the Holstein cattle.
The 10Th century will see greater adj
vancements in the science of agriculture
and the improvement in the breeding OF
| live stock than the world has yet seen.
Farmers are fast learning that more de-
pends on the sire than on the dam In
breeding stock. The best bred HOlstein
sires are greatly sought after. The value
of a good sire can hardly be estimated,
as future results must be taken into con-
sideration; $50 or even 500 extra, may
often be returned by single heifer from
the time she becomes mixer until she
| is matron of II years. Her extra
production would more than pay the
purchase price of fine sire. Farmers
often fail to see this poiut, and SO reason
badly. And then, too, she becomes the
foundation for still greater Improvement
Our farms should be stocked with the
thoroughbred cattle of whatever breed
they are best adapted TO keep. Thor
oughbreds breed truer and are usually
better producers than grades. They
often produce more than the difference
in purchase price of heifer or cow be-
fore they reach the middle OF their use.

income in the value of their calves, and
the great pleasure derived from having
and caring for them.-N. +. Homestead

A Lincoln Reason.

Speaking of gray hair puts me IN
mind of Bates - Attorney General
Bates, you know-and of one OF Lin
coins remarks. We were all going one
day out from Washington to Tennally-
town-the president, Secretary Chase,
Mr.. Bates and myself-to see General
Mcclellan review the Pennsylvania re-
serves. Bates hair, l noticed, had re-
tained it's original dark color in perfect
freshness, while his beard was almost
as white as mine is now. 1t was an ex-
ception to the usual law, and ! asked
Mr.. Bates after he had spoken OF the
popularity If he knew any especial
reason for It. He said he didn't, but
the president exclaimed laughingiy;
"Why, don't you know? It's because ne
uses his chin more than he does hia
head."-Era.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

One of the troubles in farming is that
the farmer seldom sets the price on his
own products.
When farmer sells hay or any other
direct product of the soil he sells the
fertility of his fields.
Dairy products, beef, mutton,- pork
and poultry are concentrated products
and do not impoverish the farms
fertility.
The animal department is the fertilizer
factory of the farm and should be work
ed to its full capacity.
This home product is worth far more
for a light soil than any chemical com
bination. Manure builds up the soil
commercial fertilizers tear it down.
Put the heavy crops that have to bt
taken care Of in limited time, as nea
the barn as possible.
