radiance more beautiful than that on
earth. Beyond these mountains he says
he saw valleys and plains where people

L..suon, Jan. 31-The February
number of the National Review COR
tains a very timely article by Captain
Mahan, the noted naval writer, on the
Monroe doctrine. He points out that
the United States considers it essen
tial to her interests and to those of
peace to withstand the beginnings of
European Intervention in the internal
concerns of any American state.
Dealing with Venezuelan dispute,
Captain Mahan remarks
"Such an occurrence as the existing
difficulty between Venezuela, Germany
and Great Britain engages instant and
sensitive attention. This does not i'm.
ply any doubt of the wisdom and
firmness of our government, but indi-
Gates instructive political apprehen-
sion, not ELECTED by greater and imme-
diate interests in quarters external to
the American continents.
mot to invade the rights of an
American state is to the United States
an obligation with the force of law.
To permit no European state to infiu-
ence them is matter of policy.

any assault upon their independence
or territorial integrity, so she will

S. Otis in lecture at the University
of Chicago declared that prominent
Filipinos urged him to put down the
rebellion in the Philippines by devas-
tation and murder.
"The advice given me was that CIV
ilized warfare would not terminate the
rebellion" said the speaker. at was
urged that the insurgents would at
tribute humane treatment to coward
ice, and would be encouraged. Devas-
tation and murder were advocated"
Instances where Filipinos were bur-
led alive, beheadcd and murdered by
amigos" who did not countenance the
rebellion were cited.

Sugar Beet Tops as Feed.

A Denver News correspondent says
an important side issue of the sugar
beet industry is being found in the
the feeding and fattening stock values
of the sugar beet tops, as applied to
winter consumption by cattle, sheep
and hogs.
One Greeley colony farmer and
stockman reports the sugar beet tops
of ten acres of beets as a most success
full adjunct of the wintering of several
hundred head of stock cattle, while
one of the neighbors is using sugar
beet tops as one of the chief factors in
lamb and mutton fattening for the
coming spring eastern markets.
On many of the Greeley colony
stock farms these sugar beet tops are
being winter fed to stock hogs with
exceptional advantageous results. the
hogs not only keeping in flesh. but act
ually fattening on this practically ref
use of the sugar beet harvest. One
stock farmer says that he pulled the
tops from his sugar beets, taking care
to leave the center buds" of the beet
plant intact. from the time the tops
were big enough. and that while his
beets yielded twenty-four tons to the
acre with high saccharine percentage,
he also fattened his hogs.
Sugar beet tops will average four
tons per acre and are greedily eaten by
all kinds of stock.

SCOPE OF MONROE DOCTRINE
DEFINED BY CAPTAIN MAHAN

not countenance by her support any
shrinking of their international re-
sponsibility. Neither will she under
take to compel them to observe their
international obligations to others than
herself.
The United States is the inevita-
bly, preponderant American power, but
she does not aspire to be paramount.
She does not find the true complement
of the Monroe doctrine in underlined
control over American states, exer-
cised by her and denied to Europe.
Its correlative, as forcibly urged by
John Quincy Adams at the time of its
formation, and since explicitly adopted
by the national consciousness. Is alb
stention from interference in ques-
tions territorially European.
"In my apprehension, Europe. con-
strued by this doctrine, would include
Africa, with the Levant. India and the
countries between them. 1t would not
include japan. China nor the Pacific
generally. The United States might,
for very excellent reasons, abstain
from action in any of these last named
quarters in any particular instance,
but the deterrent cause would not be
the Monroe doctrine, in any legitimate
deduction"

Washington, JAN 31-The European
allies have not yet answered Mr.. Bow
ems proposition. made several days
ago, that there shall be no preference
of claims of Great Britain, Germany
and Italy against Venezuela over those
of other nations against the South
American country.
Minister Bowen thinks the delay
should be construed in a hopeful light,
on the ground that the delay in the an
swer of the powers indicates that they
realize their Importance in the mat
ter. He still expects a favorable reply
to his contentious, and believes that
the questions at issue will be settled at
Washington between himself acting
for the government of Venezuela, and
the representatives of the powers.

Wireless Steamer Service.

London, Jan. 31.-The first attempt
to supply incoming steamers with a
news service was made yesterday,
when Reuters Telegram Company
filed with the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph Company 100 words of news for
the Cunard line steamer Lucania,
which left New York Saturday last and
which is due to arrive at Queenstown
to-day or tomorrow. The wireless
company thus far will only engage to
attempt to transmit messages twenty
to thirty miles from Browhead, SO the
news will only reach the steamer a
few hours before her arrival at
Queenstown.
The company will have better
chance with the steamer Minnetonka,
which also left New York Saturday,
to which a news message will be
transmitted tomorrow. The Mime
tonka passes twenty miles from the
Scilly islands, but only reaches Lon
don forty-eight hours later.

FARMING MATTERS.

The constitution of Colorado pro-
vides that the waters of the state are
appropriated for beneiicent irrigation
and domestic uses, but does not give
any person or corporation the right to
more than for actual needs When the
appropriation act was first passed 1t
was supposed that the water went with
the land, but courts have decreed that
the water may be transferred separate
ly. yet excessive use is not allowed.
There is now a bill in the Legislature
to regulate this matter.
An Abilene, Kansas, dispatch of jan
uary 23rd, says The highest price paid
for butter fat in the sixteen years of
the creamery industry in this county

cents and charge for SKINNED milk; ~
cents for hand separator cream, all
prices being net to the farmer. The
creamery patrons are making the larg-
est profits in years, owing to the
abundance and cheapness of feed and
the high prices for milk. The Belle
Springs company alone paid farmers
S23, 200 for milk furnished last month,
nearly all going to patrons in this
county.

A PENNSYLVANIA man desires informa-
tion regarding the average yield OF
orchards in this country. Full bearing
orchards should yield carload or
about $50 boxes of apples and loo
boxes of peaches to the acre. When
apple trees are young-up to twelve or
fourteen years old-they bear, as
rule. good crops every year, but when
they get older they seem to yield an
enormous crop every other year. TAX
ing a rest the of year as is usually the
case with unirrigated orchards
Peaches on the other hand. appear to
bear well every year. In 1898 Delta
county man named Matthews bought
the fruit, ready for shipment, from oOo
Elberta peach trees for 81 SOL. In 1893
he purchased the crop for S2,74I. ana IN
1900 for $2,46S. Peach trees are long
lived under irrigation. We know stur-
dy trees in Mesa county nineteen years
old which are bearing every year

RIlaht Iniures Maple Trees.

Prof. II. l.. ShantZ. instructor OF bi-
ology at Colorado College, has Issued
a circular warning owners OF maple
trees of serious blight that menaces
the principal shade tree OF Denver
The circular follows:
IAN examination of the naples IN
eastern Colorado shows the presence
of great numbers of the cottony maple
scale (puIyinaria innumerabilis ratho).
They are much more numerous IN
many sections than they were last
year, and we may therefore expect to
find considerable damage done to the
shade trees the coming summer.
ANY one who cares to take the time
may determine for himself whether or
not there are scales on his trees. They
are small, about twice as long as
broad, and of the color of the bark.
They are found on the younger
branches.
"These maple scales have a simple
life history. The females TOR the
scales we find at this time are all 1e-
males) will produce eggs next spring.
The eggs appear in cottony egg sacs
and are produced in great numbers.
from the eggs small lice-like animals
are developed. These migrate to the
foliage parts and there live on the
living tissues of the leaf The males
develop wings. but the females do not.
The males die and the females migrate
back to the woody stems, there to re-
main unnoticed during the winter.
This form has so many natural en-
emies that it is seldom harmful. In
fact, it is seldom plentiful for two sue
cessive years and on account of this
fact we probably have little to fear
from these scales. At times, however,
it becames very plentiful and does
much damage before the natural enc
mics can have multiplied sufficiently
to check its increase.
Artificial means can be employed
for the destruction of these scales. The
trees may be sprayed in summer or in
winter. but the latter is preferable. A
wash of one pound of whale oil soap
to one gallon of water is highly recon-
mended for winter use.
"A rather full account of this insect,
with partial list of it's enemies and
also artificial remedies, may be found
in an article by l.. o. Howard in bulle-
tin No. % (new series) of the United
States Department of Agriculture, di-
vision of entomology.

TRYING TO AVERT DANGER in
VENEZUELA COMPLICATIONS

atives of the allies what in a measure
might be regarded as an ultimatum, as
defining his position. Mr.. Bowen de-
clines absolutely to discuss the ques-
ton, but 1t is known that he said to
the allies that If they persist in their
determination to receive preferential
treatment in the matter of the settle
ment of the claims. he would call to-
gether the other creditor nations hav-
ing claims against Venezuela, with
view to their making formal protest
against the demands of those who par
ticipated in the blockade.
The effect of this would be that the
other seven creditor nations would be
lined up against the three allied pow
ers, with the result that the settlement
of the whole matter in all probability
might go TO The Hague. If it is to be
settled at all. This note is believed to
be having its effect in staying the final
determination of the question by the
allied governments.
A question of most serious import
ance before the Cabinet yesterday re-
lated to Venezuela. The action taken
in Congress for the Strengthening OF
the coast defence Notifications and the
improvement of the naval and military
establishments generally. was referred
to and cordially approved.
1t is made clear that the United
States is not expecting and is not look
| ing for trouble. but the administration
| is determined not to be unprepared
for any situation that may arise.
