London, March Southampton
welcomes home Britains empire
statesman" in huge letters, surround
ed and intertwined with Union Jacks
and Stars and Stripes, was the motto
that first greeted Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamberlain on
landing at Southampton from South
Africa.
The travellers had a magnificent
greeting. The quays were deliberately
decorated, the ships were dressed rain
bow-fashion, while rounds of cheering
and the blowing of whistles and sirens
greeted the liner Norman as she pass
ed up Southampton water front with
Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain, accompa-
MED by Lord Selborne, first lord of the
admiralty, standing on the promenade
deck
AS soon as the steamer was warped
to her dock Mr.. Chamberlain family
went on board the Norman. They were
shortly afterwards followed by the ma
yOr and corporation officers of South
ampton, who welcomed the travellers.
The mayors daughter then handed a
boquet to Mrs. Chamberlain and a pro-
cession was formed, with the mayor
and Mrs. Chamberlain leading and Mr..
Chamberlain and the mayors daughter
coming after them, and walked through
cheerful crowds to .Me reception hall.
Mr.. Chamberlain was bronzed, but he
looked very thin and appeared to have
aged considerably. He showed evident
pleasure at the heartiness of the wei
come. The party then entered car
rlages and drove through the thronged
and decorated streets to Hartley hall ,
the scene of so many previous func-
tons connected with the South African
war.
There an address of welcome was
presented to Mr.. Chamberlain, who, In
the course of his reply, warned the
country not to overestimate the results
he had actually achieved. He was
hopeful, and even confident, that the
Dutch of South Africa would hereafter
loyalty take their places os members
Of the empire to which they now be-
lOnged, but it could not be expected
that the long record of vacillation and
weakness which led to the war would
be wiped out in the twinkling of an
eye.
Subsequently Mr.. Chamberlain and
his party took train to London, where
a large crowd awaited their arrival.
Premier BalfOur and practically the
whole cabinet were present to meet
Mr.. Chamberlain.
Mrs. Chamberlain came in for a full
share of the welcome. Special cheers
were given for her, and in the greeting
of the deputatiOn from Birmingham
which went out to meet the Norman in
the Solent, she was especially men
toned. Referring to this in the course
of his reply to the Birmingham delega
ton, Mr.. Chamberlain said
Il thank you very much for includ
ing, as indeed you should. the name Of
my wife. 1t is indeed true that her

ing to God for His Many Bless
ings.
Washington, Oct. 81 The
president today issued his annual
thanksgiving proclamation in the
following terms:
STATES A PROCLAMATION.
y The season is at hand, when,
according to the custom of our
people, it falls upon the presi
dent to appoint day of praise
and thanksgiving to God.
During the last year the Lord
has dealt bountitulIy with u,
giving us. peace at home and
abroad and the chance for our
citizens to work for their welfare
unhinGered by war, famine or
plague. 1t behooves us not only
to rejoice greatly because of what
has been given us, but TO accept
1t with a solemn sense of respon-
Sibillty, realizing that under
heaven it rests with us ourselves
to show that we are worthy to
use Alright what has thus been
entrusted to our care. In no
!laCe and at no other time has
he experiment of government
If The people, by the people, for
he people, been tried on so vast
I scale as Eere in our own coun-
Try In the opening years of the
Twentieth century. Failure would
not only be dreadful thing for
us, but a dreadful thing for all
mankind, because it would mean
less OF hope for all who believe
in the power and the righteous
ness of liberty. Therefore in
thanking God for the mercies
extended to us in the past, we
baseech Him that He may not
withhold them in the future, and
that our hearts may be reused to
war steadfastly for good and
against all the forces of evil, pub
he and private. We pray for
strength, and light, so that in the
coming years we may with calm
ness, fearlessness and wisdom do
our allotted work on the earth in
such manner as to show that we
are not altogether unworthy of
the blessings we have received.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the Uni
ted States, do hereby designate
as day of general thanks giving
Thursday, the 26th of the coming
November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the peo-
pie cease from their wonted Oc-
cupations and in their several
homes and places of worship rem
der thanks unto Almighty God
for his manifold mercies.
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.

to handle number of new lines of nipple
ments and machinery, also stock of cream
cry and dairy supplies, announcements re-
garding which will be made shortly.
He states the firm has decided to put
branch stores in Spokane, Walla Walla and
North Yakima, in order to more thoroughly
cover the field in the Inland Empire. At
these branches large stocks of seeds, imple
ments, poultry and bee supplies of all kinds
will be carried. Heretofore none of these
towns have been supplied with stores deal
ing exclusively in these speciaties, and I'm
doubtedly they will be found of great ad
vantage to farmers of those sections who
then can get anything in these lines they
desire.

The amount of water needed for irrigating
an acre varies with circumstances, but Car-
ence T. Johnson, assistant in charge of the
government Investigations now being car
ried on in the west finds that the average
depth of water being applied annually to If
rigated fields is more than feet 1t was
ABS feet in 1890, AS in 1000, 400 in 1901.
This amount of water properly distributed
will produce maximum crops. 1t is this
kind of work that is being carried on by the
government irrigation Investigators Meas
urements like these are necessary in order
to determine the size and location of the
reservoirs for storing water. No one wants
to see large sums of money expended in con-
structing reservoirs only to find them inef-
fcient.

ing the flank and breast in one piece for
stews. The front shank should be removed
just above the knee, as it is of little use.
Then cut off the hind leg just in front of
the pelvic joint and cut off the hind shank
two or three inches above the hook. The
leg is then ready for roasting. In old NUT
ton or that which has been poorly fattened,
it will be more satisfactory to use the leg as
a boiling piece.
With the remainder of the side on the
block, with the outside up, the loin chops
may be cut from the rear end, cutting them
from one-ha1f to three-fourths of an inch in
thickness, according to the taste of the con-
sumner. Loin chops are cut until the ribs
are reached when one rib is taken off in each
chop and these are known as the rib chops.
The loin chops are considered the choicest,
although rib chops are equally good, except
for the larger amount of bone which they
contain. Where large amount of chops is
desired they may be cut clear up into the
shoulder, and in many cases the entire
shoulder is cut up for this purpose. The
best practice however, is to cease cutting
chops when the shoulder blade has become
so hard that it can not be cut through readily
with knife The neck is then trimmed off
even with the front part of the shoulder
and the balance used for roasting, if the
sheep is young, or for boiling in case of an
older animal. The neck may be cooked with
the flank for stews or put to any use that the
requirements of the consumer may dictate.
The best quality of mutton is usually OBJ
tanned from fully matured sheep. That
from lambs would be more tender possibly,
but it is likely to lack flavor unless the ami

of the mutton should always be white in
color and brittle If it is stringy and yellow,

Ed. F. Bogardus' Observations in the East.

SarduS q Co., has returned from an extern
sive trip throughout the eastern and middle
states travelling as far as Vermont and New
Hampshire. The New England States had
been suffering from a prolonged drought,
which threatened ruin to the crops, but re-
freshing rains came at the most critical per-
iod, bringing them out all right.
Conditions throughout the East generally
are good. Notwithstanding the labor troub
les SO generally prevailing, together with
heavy liquidation of stocks which has been
going on in Wall Street for some time, bust
ness remains in a very healthy state.
Mr. Bogardus visited a large number of
manufacturing towns in the various states
through which he passed, and found the
factories generally running under heavy
orders. At Battle Creek, Mich, there are
fifteen great factories turning out breakfast
foods This is where Grape Nut" is manu-
featured, which has made fortune of five
million dollars in a few years for its pro-
prietor. At Niagara Falls he went through
the great plant which manufactures "Shred
ded Wheat, the finest in the world, and
costing 100000 to construct.
He attended the annual convention of the
National Seedmen's Association at Atlantic
City. The fact that he journeyed from the
Pacific Coast and was present at this con-
vention on the Atlantic seaboard was the
occasion for comment among the seedmen
generally.
''It is surprising to note the great change
in sentiment that is taking place among the
people of the East regarding this coast"
said Mr. Bogardus. -Four or five years ago
when 7 went back there, and [ told the peo-
pie [ was from Seattle they wanted to know
where it was, and when told it was on Puget
Sound in the state of Washington they look
ed on me as an object of curiosity coming
from the wilds of the frontier, where every
body went around with his finger on the
trigger. Now this is all changed, and when
| announced I was from Seattle they all
knew of the place Great town. they would
say, wish I were young man, that's where
[ would CO. They realize that this country
is going to develop rapidly, and has great
future.
''I found the greatest prosperity prevail
ing in the agricultural districts, and particu-
larry where dairying is carried on in Wis
consin. Illinois, Ohio and New York. The
dairy farmers have fine places, comfortable,
we'll furnished homes, great brick and stone
barns, and splendid herds. From my obser-
vations in those sections I conclude that the
dairy business in the Pacific Northwest, the
development of which is now taking place
so rapidly, is going to be one Of the leading
factors in Our prosperity. There is no part
of the Union where conditions for dairying
are more favorable than right here"
ct found" continued Mr.. Bogardus, Ger
cal factories in the east ship their grain from
the west, manufacture into specially Drepar-
ed breakfast foods, etc. and ship the finished
product back here The same is true of
many lines of farm implements. They get

New Cattle Era Coming.

Is the country facing a shortage in beef
cattle and consequent return of prices ap-
preaching those of the memorable summer
of 1902? There are phases of the trade that
point an affirmative answer to the above
question.
While feeder prices for the last six months
have been dangerously close to the selling
value of fat cattle, there is a suggestion
that it has been shortage of suitable young
cattle and not manipulation of spectators
nor bidding prices up on themselves by
farmers and inexperienced feeders that has
brought about this condition.
In conversation with an old-time commits
sion man few days ago, Live Stock
World man asked the above question and
the answer of this man, who has made as
much of success of cattle feeding as he
has of the commission business, was, in sub
stance, that the country is surely facing an
era of new conditions and higher prices
in cattledom Take, for instance" said
this man, "our own trade, we find that
whereas few years ago Wisconsin fur
nished enormous supplies of feeding cattle
to this market, of late years that section has
switched and furnishes comparatively few
stock cattle. Wisconsin farmers have gone
into dairying There is some attention be-
ing paid to breeding improved lines of beef
cattle, but the general run of farmers are
running to dairy stock, and are sending
their calves to market. They have found
that they can realize almost as much out of
a I2o-lb. veal calf as they can by holding
the animal until he is a year old and then
putting him on the stocker market. Other
northern sections of the country that have
been relied upon to furnish large numbers
of young cattle to corn belt feed lots are
doing the same thing and it is being felt in
a shortage of feeders. We have orders for
fully 5000 feeding cattle, other commission
houses are also carrying large orders that
they cannot fill, prices are too high and the
cattle are not in sight. All of which points
to an era of higher prices not far ahead for
beef cattle
1t is just possible that the dawn of this
higher era is not far distant Studious men
of the trade have, within the last ten days,
gone on record with prediction that good,
fat corn cattle will sell at 5000 before the
first of August.

ON THE ISLAND OF PINES.
to Have Established a Base Upon Panama Territory.

Colon, Panama, Dec 22-Informa- tion has been received here that about 100 Colombian troops have landed at the island of Pines, northwest of Cape Tiburon, which is situated at the west ern entrance of the Gulf of Darien. The island of Pines is on Panama ter ritory and is the only island along that coast which is wooded, peaked with mountains and also well watered, thus offering every facility for camping and being used as a base of observation. It is significant in this connection that the United States auxiliary cruiser Mayf1ower left this harbor Sunday bound in the direction of the island of Pines, to obtain confirmation of the re- port.
 The United States gunboat Bancrcft is still on that coast, in the vicinity of Nombre de Dios.
 The United States cruiser Nashville has returned to Colon from Bocas del Toro.
 Rear-Admiral Coghlan has trans ferred his flag to the United States auxiliary cruiser Prairie
