IT KILLS THE MANCHURIAN TREATY
CHINESE DIPLOMATS GREATLY srRPRISEI
BY THE NEW ALLIANCE.

Peking, Feb. 13.-The news Of the signing Of
the Anglo-Japanese treaty Of alliance became
known to a few diplomats here to-day, and was
an absolute surprise. The treaty is regarded
as the most important move made in Far East
ern politics of recent years. The Japanese Min
ister Uchida. visited Prince Ching president of
the Foreign Office and gave him copy of the
treaty.
It is not doubted among the diplomats here
that the new alliance win efectually veto the
signing Of the Manchurian treaty. The British
Minister Sir Ernest VI. Satow; the japanese
Minister Uchida. and the United States Min
lister, Mr.. Conger, have recently been pressing
Prince Ching 10 postpone signing the Man
churian treaty, and obtained promise to defer
so doing until fresh representations could be
made which representations were made to-day
in the form Of copy Of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty.
The Chinese officials who. were informed of
the signing of the treaty expressed the greatest
satisfaction. They said that TO British prestige
in the Far East had been given a tremendous
advancement.

declared that the Anglo-Japanese Treaty was
not directed specially against Russia, but un-
doubted1y ManchUria was within its scope It

The Manchurian question, however. was at pres

and the United States, representing the inter

trusted the negotiations would bring about
state of affairs in Manchuria which would not
be prejudicial 10 the other powers. il un-

The present treaty has no coiaterals in the
shape Of treaties between Japan and other
powers but it does not exclude the possibility
Of a similar treaty between Japan and Russia

The japanese Minister also said that the

Advantages in Fall Flowing.

All soils which are light and porous.
and which do not run together and be-
come compacted into a solid mass, may
be plouged 10 the fall. Some of the
advantages of ploughIng at this season
are: Work is often slack for both men
and teams. Ploughing now sets the
work ahead in the spring, when there is
always more to be done than there is
always time to do we'll. If plowing is
done late in the fall, insects which have
prepared their winter quarters will be
thrown out, and before they can arrange
new homes may be frozen and killed.
Some immature seeds of weeds may,
buried in soil, decay and not reach
maturity. Thus, possibly, the numbers
of two enemies, weeds and insects, may
be lessened.
Frost undoubtedly has a beneficial
action upon soils, mellowing 1t and
making 1t more suitable to feed plants
To get the full benefit of frost, the fur
rows should be permitted to lie rough
all winter. If the land is to lie exposed
to the frost all winter, a little subsoil,
an inch or less, will become reduced, IN
corpOrated with the loan of the subsoil,
and thus fertility will be added to the
field. The aim of every cultivator of the
soil is to deepen and enrich it. The sub.
soil may more safely be brought to the
surface of the ground in the fall than
at other seasons. If the field is cover
ed with some crop, as clover or rye
which will grow on every day when the
ground is not actually frozen, then the
ploughing may best be deferred until
spring. If the field is more likely tc
work badly if ploughed, 1t should lie
until the time to SOW the next crop

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
is matter for congratulstion to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week In each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec.
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for S1.9O for the entire five
one year. This is emphatically a good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For q large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has evel
been offered before that equals Il. A

Random Notes.

Tell us the news from your own
dairy and from your neighborhood.
Care, feed and handling are essential,
as well as good breeding, in the making
of COW.
We are always glad to hear from but
termakers, cheesemakers and others in
terested in dairying
The right selection of dairy COW is
an important matter to all buyers and
one of which they are never absolutely
certain until after having given the
animal good trial.
Where hand separstors are used on
the farms and the skim-milk fed to
calves, little cotton seed meal, costing
but little, will possess an equal or
greater feeding value than the butter
fat removed by the separator.
The question of persistent mixers
is one of vital siimportance if we would
gain our end. Think of this in the
younger training of the COW. From
the first, endeayor to make our heifers
persistent in the matter of milk
flow.
With the cooperative creamery, the
Babcock test, and the silo, man can
safely invest money In dairying. He
can put cows enough on his farm to
consume all the forage crops raised,
and not worry about making or
markets.-Creamery and Dairy.

REMARKABLE LAKE.
A Rody OF Water With a Roof of
Solidided Salt.

Solidided Salt.
A lake with n salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen Mt any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when
the sun is shining directly upon it.
This wonderful body of water is one of
the safest of the salt lakes and is sit
uated near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake
is nine miles wide and seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
posit. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
1t are adding fast to the thickness of
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
Of time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
Ill1S7S the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
cred its surface about three feet The
salt crust was SO thick, however, that
1t retained its old level and now pre-
sents the curious spectacle of salt
roofed lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. The
many islands with which the lake is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep the arched salt crust In
position.

The Great Western Adds4o New Engines
to Its .Euuipment.

SSASS'ASSAApAAASASs
The Chicago Great Western Railway
has ordered from the Brooks branch of
the American locomotive works, Dun.
kirk, N. Y, twenty new passenger loco
motives and IS many freight. The con-
tracts call for delivery In January and
February, and when the new engines
are added to the equipment of the COM
pany there will be total of 312 loco
motives, compared with 2l1 year ago.
The new engines are designed for
service on all divisions Of the. system.
With that addition the company will be
in fair condition so far as motive power
is concerned until the opening of the
Fort Dodge and Omaha extension,
and the consequent increase of business
renders more power necessary.
The new passenger engines are of the
Lake Shore type, piston valve and wide
tirebox. That type of engine has ten
wheels-a pony truck, three drivers on q
side and trailer. The drivers are 6S-
inch, the truck wheels 36, and the trail
ers AZ. The weight on the drivers is
10000 and the whole engine weighs
100000 pounds. They are similar to the
$50 CLASS engine but are lighter. They
are intended for local or limited use.
Phe freight engines are of the Prairie
type. Brooks tandem, and are similar
in all respects to the twenty engines re.
celved by the Chicago Great Western
last summer. The new engines will
have the Pyle national electric head
lights. The engines will each cost fro m
$4,000 to $4,000.

The woodcock.

The food of the woodcock consists of
worms, leeches and grubs, which the
bird seeks by probing with its bill the
earth of such swa,nps as contain them.
fhere are nlAes hntf miles OF wet
swamp lands among our hills where
the soil. composed of peat and de.
eayed leaf mold, is too cold and sour
to hold worms. Into such swamps the
woodcock never goes. The best wood
cock ground is along the banks OF
woodland brooks that wind in and out
through alder swamps, where the rich
black mold is soft and full of worms
and where the skunk cabbage and he'll
lebore grow thick and broad leafed.
Such places are the woodcock's dining
rooms, and in them he leaves his sign
manual, the oblong, almost triangular
holes which dot each and every square
foot of earth where worm might pos
sibly lurk.-Outing.

Though scarlet fever has lately been
very much less severe than 1t was fifteen
or twenty years ago and though 1t is re-
sponsible for only abCut half the num-
ber of deaths that measles is RESPONSE.
BILE for, 1t is likelyto have such serious
after-effects that the announcement of
the excellent results obtained by DR..
Paul Moser, of Vienna, with his serum
may by considered of first rate impor.
tance in spite of the fact that the treat
ment has not gone beyond the expert
mental stage In one hospital where DIR.
Moser treated 400 children with this
serum the mortality was only SO per
cent, while during the same period the
scarlet fever mortality in the other
Vienna hospitals was 800 per cent.
As the quantity of serum available
was at no time sufficient to give as lib
eral treatment as DR.. Moser believed de.
sirsple, and as no strong, concentrated
serum has yet been produced, this reduc-
tion of almost 33 per cent In the mortal
