Postal Treaties.

The work of making changes in the
postal treaties between the Unit ID
States and France and England is pro-
crossing. II is desired to alter the
European treaties so that the limit for
parcels shall be about four pounds in
stead Of eleven The weight limit with
Germany has already been reduced from
eleven TO four pounds.
The Postofice Department feels that
1t cannot afford. in view of the rapidly
growing merchandise mail from Europe.
to allow foreigners to send through our
mails packages heavier than a citizen Of
our country is allowed TO send.
The United States sends more and
heavier packages to South America than
the countries on that continent send to
US, so that the balance OF mail IS in
favor Of the States. But with Europe
there is serious balance the other
way. Hence the discrimination.

TREATY WITH ARGENTINA
Secretary of Legation Takes
Steps to Arrange Parcels
Post Agreement.

w. S. Shallenberger, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, hac a conference
yesterday with the charge d'affaires of
the Colombian legation regarding the
signing by Colombia of the convention
OF the Universal Postal Congress held
in Washington in 1897. Colombia. it was
explained. did not sign the convention
because of the unsettled political con-
ditions in the country and it has re-
mained unsigned until the present.
The Colombian government asks if it
is too late to sign. Colombia wishes to
sign with the explanation that it de-
sires the rates named in the conEen-
tion reduced to a gold basis.
The monetary system of Colombia has
been sadly deranged by overissues OF
paper money which is of fiuctuating
value and the country wants its postal
obligations placed On gold basis
Through State Department.
MIR. Shallen5erger told the charge
d'affaires to notify the State Depart
ment of the United States of his gov
ernment's position and the State De-
partment will then advise Switzerland
whose government takes the direction
of postal affairs.
1t is believed there will be no diff-
Guilty offered 70 Colombia.
The secretary of the Argentine lega-
tion also called upon Mr.. Shallenberger
yesterday to take the preliminary steps
in regard to arranging for a parcels post
treaty between this country and Argen-
tina, such as exists between the United
States and the other South American
countries.

The Mare and the EoaI.

Mares after being bred should not
be worked for few days, after which
they may be worked right up to the
day they foal, providing you have the
right kind Of work for them to do,
writes John Gardhouse. They should
not be hitched to any very heavy
loads, or on to a tongue that will
strike them in the side, and they
should not be backed when heavy with
foal. After fall blowing is done and
you have no further work for them,
do not tie them in the stable and let
them stand without any exercise; that
is too sudden a change. Let them out
in the yard for exercise every after
noon, unless very stormy. A few
weeks before foaling, feed little
fiaxseed along with boiled oats and
bran. Never allow the foal to run
after the mare when working. Al
ways keep it in loose box, well
bedded, and with plenty Of light,
but no holes which 1t can get Ito
ucdu lulOuBn. Always 6i'O bho AooA
a little feed when you take the mare
out. Unless you are working a long
distance from the barn, 1t will pay to
take the mare in during the forenoon
and afternoon, giving her a drink and
handful of oats, and let the foal
suck, thus helping the mare and also
the foal. When the foal Is weaned,
feed 1t often with good clover hay,
chopped oats and bran, and all the
milk 1t will take. Winter well the first
winter. Many foals are allowed ID
winter around straw stacks and on
poor, dry feed, and are very little
heavier in the spring than when
weaned in the fall.

Ideal Type OF Hog.

In visiting many herds and nocKs ]
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact that there Is no uni
formity of type in them. Each man
has all sorts of types and kinds In his
herd or flock, says Professor G. E
Day, of Guelph. The result Is that
they breed up a flock or herd that will
never be of any use in the country
Each young breeder, and old one, too
for that matter, must find out what
Is the right typeI then set this up as
an ideal and work 1t. You cannot
reach your ideal at once. 1t may
take ten, fifteen, twenty or even forty
years to do so, and perhaps you may
never reach it, but keep it ever before
you, never lose sight Of 1t for an in.
slant, nor let anything else drive it
away. You will find that the man
who makes success Of breeding is
he who sticks to his ideal with. as
1t were, bull dog tenacity, and
though he may not become famous,
Nc viii d. lCdSI uhh0 q udm0 AOA
himself in his sphere of life. would
emphasize the Importance Of getting
the right type fixed in ones mind as
an ideal. There is type Of hog that
gives the best bacon, and If the pro-
duction Of bacon hogs Is the ideal a
man has set up for himself, then he
should get as near to the ideal type as
possible. Some breeds Of hogs come
much nearer that type than others.
In judging Of the length Of hog 1t
Is not enough that he should be long
from the nose to the tail. but 1t Is OF
special Importance that he should be
long between shoulder and ham. i
have heard some people say that 1t
costs more to produce the bacon type
Of hog than the fat kind. want to
give you this for your encouragement
lit has never been proved that 1t
does cost more. Our experiments show
very conclusively that 1t does not nee
essarily cost more to produce pound
Of gain in good bacon hog than in
a fat hog, and that good bacon hog
Is an economical producer. t

Swiss Dairy Cattle.

The cattle Of the several cantons Of
Switzerland noted for their dairying
differ mainly in color and name. The
Bernoise, Fribourgeoise and Simmer
thai cattle are all spotted, and have
yellows, reds and browns mixed with
white in varying degrees and an In
finlty OF patterns. Those with red or
yellow spots usually have light muz.
zles and switches. while black noses
and tails accompany the brown and
black spots. The Schwyz breed, BET
ter known as the Brown Swiss, has
been established in the United States
for about thirty years. All these
Swiss cattle are exceedingly coarse
boned, large framed and heavy. They
are exceedingly active for their size,
famous mountain climbers, but carry
a great superhuity Of flesh for dairy
animals, hardly compensated for by
their performances at the pail. The
simmenthals are the largest, and BY
some preferred for mich stock, but
unbiased judges generally give the
Brown Swiss first place for dairy pur
poses. In America the lastnamed
race has included cows which have
made famous records in milk and but
ter production; but. as a whole, all
Swiss cattle must be here regarded
as Of the "dual-purpose" kind, and
this means that they are not expected
to add much to the value Of our dairy
stock.-Henry e. Alvord.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
L \ notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family
where it is favorite remedy. 1,'3 @
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

Try soma Roots.

Many farmers are feeding some
roots to their poultry in winter. About
everything in this line has been tried
and most things with success. Beets
are split and the fowls are allowed
to pick at them at their leisure. Car

fowls seem TO like them better than
they do beets. Only few should DO

Of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-

Gratitude and desire to help others has
inspired thousands Of people to give public

not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men Of national
and international reputation have been will

result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
