trouble is too many farmers feed not
only too much corn, but feed 1t too
exclusively.
So long as farm horses are kept for
work mainly, so long corn must be
portion of the ration when 1t Is raised
on the farm: on the other hand, a ra-
ton OF oats or OK rye and oats, with
liberal feeding II good hay, would
give quite as good results; or a good
ration could be made of feeding one
part each OF rye and wheat to two
parts of oats, giving th:Ac on four
quarts at a feed, Win hay at night.
This ration has been especially good
with the writer, and corn is intro
duced by feeding 1t in place of the
mixed grains mentioned, three or four
times week. The horses do heavy
farm work on this method Of feeding
and are In good health all the time.

CUBA UNABLE TO eET CASH.
S35, 100000 Loan Delayed by Condi-
ton of Money Market.

Although the Cuban commission which
came to New York about month ago
10 negotiate a loan Of S35,000000 for
the government of Cuba, has not yet lost
hope, it has received little encourage
ment from bankers
The unsatisfactory and uncertain con-
dition of the money market has been adj
vanced as q reason why S35,000,000
could not be spared at this time from
the country. But the negotiations have
not even reached the point of looking
about for underwriters.
Bankers. it is said, have plainly in
formed the loan commission that the spe-
cial internal revenue law, which is to
raise a sinking fund to pay off the loan,
is inadequate as a guarantee. They want
to have the surplus customs revenue
pledged Internationally before they viii
look at the loan. The object Of the loan
is to pay the veteran soldiers Of the late
rebellion

Coop for Fattening chiclena.

Where it is desired to take extra
gains in fattening chickens, it is nee
essary to confne them in close quar-
ters for two or three weeks before kill
ing. The coop shown herewith is ideal
for this purpose. 1t is set on legs 21h
feet above the ground for convenience
in caring for the fowls. The coop is
about . feet wide, 8 feet long, and
2 feet inches high, and win easily
hold six birds.
The bottom should be constructed of
Stats. somewhat closer together than
the sides and ends, so that the drop
pings may fail through The coos
should be placed under roofs to shea
rain and TO protect the fowls from the
hot sun. In cold weather it would be
necessary to protect them still more
by placing the coops In buildings. Feed
troughs and water vessels are attached

siiare aud Roots.


A silo for storing corn is cheaper
than a barn for storing hay. A silo
holding about two hundred tons may
be constructed for about $780, About
twice the number Of cows may be
kept on farm if the silo is used. The
ensilage may be kept over and fed
during the dry and hot months of July
and August when pastures are short.
and that is the most difficult time to
keep up the flow Of milk, and if cows
once drop in the flow of milk it is well
nigh impossible to get them to regain
the full flow When dairymen do not
have silos the next best thing is roots,
such as stock beets, which yield six
hundred to seven hundred bushels per
acre, and may be preserved IN base

America Vastly Enriched.

AAlS triumph lof America, means, IN
brief. that Great Britain admits the right
of the United States to about 20, roo
square miles Of territory, instead of a
small fraction thereof, and continued
control of the many important bays and
inlets throughout the 60 miles of sea-
coast. 1t means besides American SUI
premacy in the northern Pacific and
American possession of much valuable
mineral land that Canada has claimed
for years.
Portland Canal is at the southernmost
end of this strip of territory, and the
American boundary line is merely shifted
from the southern to the northern side
of the channel. A Canadian factory and
small settlement OF Canadians are at
its head, and the American commission
ers. seeing that Lord Alverstone was dis
posed to grant the justice of their CON
tentions on every other point, ag~"ed to
allow Canada to have it.
The agreement was arrived at only
after deliberations extending over a
week. All this time the chance seemed
to be that he commissioners would reach
no definite Judgment and that the dead
lock of the jo.ut high commission which
met in Quebec aad Washington ia 1898
and 1899 would be repeated.
When the first vote was taken Satur-
day, however the uncertainty was re-
moved, for Lord Alverstone said he had
made mp his mind that the American
contentious were just, except as to the
Portland Canal. After luncheon the
American commissioners agreed to code
this point, and the controversy was set
tied

Canada hIneh Disappointed.

While Canada will be much disap-
pointed the opinion is widely held in
Official and diplomatic circles that the
decision will help to cement Anglo-Amer-
lean friendship.
The Canadian claims did not find a
great number of active supporters in
London; in fact, only languid interest
was felt in the proceedings. The first
days were dun and the trial of the case
in the foreign Office in Downing street
was attended by few outside of the per
sons concerned and the wives of the
American commissioners and counsel.
Mt until toward the close, when At
torney Jacob NJ Dickinson. of Chicago,
made his eloquent and forceful appeal,
did the British commissioners rouse
themselves from their semi-lethargy.
Lord Alverstone on that occasion compli-
mented Mr.. Dickinson on his argument.

IN THE HOUSE.
Bill to Settle Original Package Matter
Passed Without Division.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The House de-
voted the day to bills reported from
the judiciary committee, passing about
| 20. Most of them were of minor
character relating to the times of hold
ing court, ETC., but two were of gen.
eral Importance. One was to meet the
original package decision of the SUI
preme court by making intoxicating
liquors imported into states subject to
the jurisdiction of such states. The
bill is designated to prevent evasion
| under the original package decision of
the liquor laws in prohibition states.
The bill was reported by the COM
mittee, yesterday. 1t relates to the de-
cision of the supreme court against
the power of the states in the exercise
of their police powers to prohibit the
importation of intoxicating liquors I'M
der the jurisdiction of the states as if
manufactured or produced therein.
Clayton. Ala, who was in charge of
the bill, explained that it would permit
prohibition states to break up the
practice now INDUCED in of permitting
firms to buy and import intoxicants in
original packages but that it would
not prevent an individual from import
ing for his personal use.
Barthodlt, Mo-, opposed the bill on
the ground that it would legalize pro-
hibtion.
Several of the Iowa members ex-
planned how the prohibition law in
Iowa was evaded' by importations I'M
der the original package decision. The
bill was finally passed without di-
vision.
Bills were also passed to create an
additional circuit judge for the eighth
judicial circuit to provide for an adj
ditional district judge in the district
of Minnesota; for the relief of the
clerks of circuit and district courts;
TO provide for an additional district
judge in the southern judicial dis
trict of New York.
The other important bill is the
Senate bill to increase the salaries of
federal judges. 1t raises the salaries
of the chef justice of the supreme
court to $4,000; the associate JUS
tees to $4,000; circuit judges to $1,000;
district judges to $4,000; the chief JUS
tice of the court of claims to $500;
associate justices to $4,000 and the JUS
tees of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia to $4,000. When it
was called up, Smith, KY, opposed it,
maintaining that the work of the
judges had not increased enough to
warrant the monetary increase Dris-
coll, N. Y, also opposed the bill.
Cannon concluded the protracted de-
bate in an argument in favor of the
bill. He said it increased the salaries
of the United States judiciary 25 per
cent. or about $4,000. On motion of
Olmsted, Pa, an amendment was
| adopted striking from the bill the pro-
vision abolishing the payment of any
expenses of Federal judges.
Randall, Texas, offered an amend
ment to prohibit federal judges from
accepting free transportation from
railroads or telegraph or telephone
franks. 1t was lost So to ia. The
bill was passed, 125 to IA. At 5.35 P.
NJ, the House adjourned.
