Farm Horses in Winter.

Some farmers imagine that after the
let-up in fall work almost anything Is
good enough to keep the horse up till
the spring work begins. When that be-
gins they begin to feed on oats. Natu-
rally the horses, which have probably
bean existing on poor hay only up to
the time the work begins, fall at the
end of half days work. To pick them
up they are then crammed With oa;s,
with the usual result-"a cr'lc." and
perhaps a dead horse. ! horses
strength is allowed to run down 1t can
not possibly be picked up again by
overlooking. and If a horse which is
not used to oats Is suddenly given
liberal allowance 1t Is nearly certain to
give a collie 1t is much better to try
and find some work for the animal TO
do all thru the winter and keep fair
supply of oats going to him. SO as to
keep up his muscle. The animal will
then be able and willing to perform
whatever reasonable work he is re-
auired to do in satisfactory way. We
have often asked veterinary surgeons
why the mortality in spring was so
high they always reply, injudicious
feeding. A horse will do very we'll on
oats and oat straw-if hay Is scarce
hut we do not advise giving barley
straw to a horse. as 1t is very liable to
give acute indigestion, followed by co.,
ic. A horse. for its size, has very
small stomach. 1t should. therefore, be
fed often. and not too much at time.
For this reason care should be taken
to supply food three times a day.

RURAL CARRIERS WAGES.

Senator Cul.om's bill to increase the
annual salaries of rural carriers from
$500 to $500 viii meet with general APP
prevail from the public and should be
passed without contradiction. While
the tendency is usually to raise the
salaries of government employees above
what they might command from indi-
viduais or corporations the rural car
rier's case has so far been an excep-
ton to the rule. Their pittance has
been insufficient to their actual neces-
sites. That any man can keep family.
feed and shoe a team and furnish his
own vehicles on $50 monthly without
actual suffering is scarcely compatible
with the statistics of the cost of living.
II any class of public servants have
earned and deserve recognition the ru-
raj carriers have done So. Their faith
fitness has grown into proverb.
They face cold and wet, mud and snow
and the terrible Iowa springtime roads
'N.sNA
day after day for much less pay than a
liveryman receives for the use of
team for a similar trip. They have
keen sense Of duty and instances OF
their failure to bring the farmer his
expected mail are exceptionally rare.
This courage and faithfulness is thor
oughly appreciated by the patron OF
rural routes and the proposed addition
10 the carriers salary W.T., have few OPP
ponents among the agriculturists.
There will be no dissent to Senator
Cullom's bill by the people. There
should be none in congress. Eight hun
bred dollars per year is not too mucn
for prosperous nation to pay for such
service and responsibility as devolves
upon the carrier Of our rural mails.

the TREATY WITH PANAMA.

There has been no time lost in nego-
tiating a canal treaty with Panama
and the new treaty bearing the sigma
lures of the Panama minister and the
United States secretary of state is al
ready In existence and ready for the
approval of the two countries. 1t Is
practically the treaty contemplated by
the Spooner act and confers to the
United States all the rights and privi-
lopes provided for under the Spooner
bill. The bargain with Panama is In
some respects better than the one re-
tected by Colombia. The price, $10,-
100000. Is the same, but Panama prof
fers a strip ten miles wide for. canal
purposes against the six-mile strip
specified in the Colombian negotia-
lions. The United States is to have
perpetual control OF the canal zone.
Panama retains the administration of
Colon and Panama 80 long as she
maintains order and good government
Failing III these the United States Is to
assume police and judicial administra-
ton OF the affairs of those cities.
Panan1a's secession has practically
assured the building of the canal.
There will be no delay in the ratifica-
ton of this treaty. This opposing po-
l.tical parties IN the United States con-
Sress are agreed upon the canal ques-i
lion. Neither will Panama delay. She
needs the canal and the $100.00o,000.

the shadow OF the wing OF the Ameri.-

ratification and with the new treaty

done within the next few months. the

NOT 4 oIscouRAeIxe OUTLOOK.

r. G. Dun h Company's commercial
agency has for the past month been
receiving special reports from its
branch offices on. the industrial situa-
ton. The agency has made a sustained
and special effort to get at the condi-
lions which foreshow trade and indus

in the aggregate Is highly promising.
While 1t Is true that steel is not be-
ing made at The marvellous pace 1t was
year ago, and prices have declined
very materially FROM those quoted when
consumers We're offering
high premiums for quick delivery. 1t
is equally true that the industry is in
q far stronger position than at any
time previous to the beginning Of the
last period OF expansion. Mills and
furnaces are more modernly equipped,
and every method Of production has
been wonderfully improved. Textile
industries received check from the
inflated prices of raw materials. espec-
tally cotton, but spindles are gradually
resuming, and, II consumers can be
made to pay higher prices for cotton
goods in proportion to the advanced
cost of production, the years results
will! show but a small percentage of
idle machinery. Aside from these two
branches of manufacture, the reports
are most gratifying. Wages have adj
vanced with scarcely an exception, and
in many branches 1t is still difficult to
secure skilled labor. With the advance
in cost of materials, fuel and labor, tho
margin OF profit is narrower. String

doubtedly been most deleterious infiu-

Farmer, may be kept in the winter Tar

Inc. In the ordinary farmhouse cellar
the celery stalks, with the roots In
tact, may be set upon the damp floor

this position. If the roots are kept damp
and the tops are dry, the celery will
keep in good share far into the winter.
There is always a reasonable OBJ
lection to storing vegetables or fruits
in cellars under living rooms. 1t is
better to provide a root house. Then
celery and all other growths of the root
order may be stored perfectly. The
farmer can provide thus, without much
expense, storage that will enable him
