WILL INSIST TO THE END
United States Claims Equal Privi-
leges in Manchuria.

Washington, May 20.-Regardless of
the outcome of the present negotiations
respecting the political domination of
Manchuria, it can be stated that this
government is prepared to insist to the
end upon commercial privileges for the
United States in Manchuria equal to
those enjoyed by the merchants of 9TH
er nations, Russia included. The state
department has had pledges from Rus
STA that, even in the event Of Manchnria
passing under the control of Russia,
our commerce and trade privileges
should not suffer, and will hold that
our commerce would suffer if Russian
goods can enter Manchuria free while
United States goods are forced to pay
duty. This attitude will go far toward
reassuring Southern cotton interests,
which have become alarmed at the pos
sible loss of their very best markets.

Young Sheep Best for Feeding.

Head for head. young sheep. in the
opinion Of Professor John Scott. not
only eat 20 per cent less food, but give
half more increase in mutton than
old sheep. Any one who taxes the
trouble to go over the weights for age
in the various sheep classes at the fairs
and feeding tests will find that the
average daily gain CT sheep between
twelve and twenty-four months does
not exceed forty pounds, whereas
lambs under twelve months increase in
weight at the rate of six pounds per
day, or 80 per cent more increase than
in the older classes. Therefore. If we
take 100 young sheep and 100 older
sheep. each lot consuming equal
weights of food. the former will give
IL weekly increase Of 5O4 pounds In
return for their keep. while the latter
will only give AN Increase of $50
pounds; and at 6 cents per pound in
crease the younger animals will pay
% cents per head per week against
about II cents per head for the older
sheep Massachusetts Ploughman.

Canning Farm Products.

There is tendency among farmers
in some sections to venture into the
canning industry. This has been
brought about by the low prices obtain
ed for their products from Gamers gem
orally, as well as by the thought that
there is considerable profit in the cam
ming business. To any farmer who has
this plan in mind the advice is not to
carry it out, for, in the majority of
cases, the result will be failure 1t must
be remembered that the expense of get.

which are practically closed to the
small packer This state of affairs
would not be offset by the fact that a
saving in expense would be made be.
cause of the low cost Of production.
This argument applies to any crop the
farmer may attempt to can with the
one exception of putting up jellies and
fruits in glass cans. and this comes,
properly, In the sphere of the wife.
There is no doubt but what there is a
market for fruits canned in the good
old way. such as expert women Gamers
understand, but the growth of such a
business would be slow. while 1t would
be sure. If the women of the farm
are irSt-class preservers of fruits, II
would be good plan to have them
put up some fruit and try it in the local
markets. Once started. the business
will grow if the quality is kept up.

IRELAND'S VIC[ROY
POPULAR WITH IRISH
Loving Horses and Hating Priggish-
ness, He Becomes Favorite.

DUBLIN. June 15.-It would be mis-
take TO attribute Lord Dudley's wide
spread popularity in Ireland to the fact
that he is associated In the minds Of the
Irish people with the new land bill
As matter of fact. there never was
an Irish viceroy less associated in the
mind OF the people with any particular
political party than the present lord
lieutenant. Lord Dudley possesses n
happy combination of two gifts which
always win an Irishman's heart. He is
lover Of horses and a hater OF prig-
gishness. Except at purely official func-
lions at Dublin Castle he is less OF the
viceroy and more OF the country gentle
man than any previous representative OF
the English ruler.
The Irish are a difficult nation for
knglishmen to understand. but II may
be taken as an axiom that Irishmen OF
all creeds and politics are constant in
their dislike Of snob or a bore, and IL
Is because Lord Dudley is so far re-
moved from snobbery and boredom that
he has won his way into the hearts of
the Irish nation

marked that Cor many years past people

ii was the turn OF the human race
The competitors we're then led out in
three patches Of thirty. They were
scantily clad in bathing drawers, aad
each one on his numter being called out
stepped TO the front and exhibited bis
muscles. Few Of the would-be Apollos
that we're exhibited could be called
beautiful. for there was singular lack
OF grace There was plenty Of mus
Gle. but very few OF the competitors
were symmetrically built. The winner
OF the first prize for beauty OF form was
