TO PAY FOR PANAMA.
Ten Million Will Probably Be Civ.
IN to Colombia by the
United States.

Washington. Feb. 2.-Negotiations
for the payment of between $4,000
900 and $40. 200, 900 to Colombia by
the United States have. it is said.
reached such stage that they will
be concluded within the next ten days.
For this reason the Republicans in
the senate are now seriously consider
ing proposition from the Democrats,
which will at once clear up the situa-
ton with regard to the Panama canal
treaty.
The proposition is that resolution
be adopted requiring the president to
use his good offices to bring about the
establishment of friendly relations be-
tween Colombia and Panama, and to
enter into negotiations whereby the
United States will argee to pay some
money to Colombia for the loss of
Panama
he Democrats say that if the Re-
publicans will agree to such resolu-
ton they will agree, with four excep-
tions only. to vote for the raticfiation
of the canal treaty.

caucus of Democratic senators
will be held for the purpose of agree
ing upon the terms of the resolution
The Republicans say that the negotia-
lions with Colombia are so near COM
pleted that they are disposed to accept
the Democratic plan
1t would probably end in the United
States paying Colombia about S, 900. =

money the isthmian government is to
receive from the United States.

PRINCE MArHlLps DEAD.
All France Mourns the Loss Of a
Favorite.

Paris.-Princess Mathilde, the only
daughter OF Prince Jerome Bonaparte,
is dead. Shortly before the princess
expired. ex-Empress Eugene and Prin-
cess Clothilde visited the bedside.
The death of Princess Mathilde has
caused sorrow throughout France, not
only because she was one of the last
of the Napoleons, but because she was
always known as "the good princess"
Prince Jerome Bonaparte arranged
a marriage between his daughter and
Louis Napoleon, but without success.
The pretender, who later became en-
peror, caused the breaking on OF the
match and this rupture was followed
by Princess Mathilde's marriage to
Count Demidorff, a rich Russian.
While they were in st. Petersburg
Emperor Nicholas conceived great
affection for the princess and gave her
a decree of divorce when she was no
longer able to live with her husband.

Catching Sheen.

A sheep should never be caught by
its wool. This method not only
causes the animal unnecessary pain,
but in the case Of fat sheep, that are
to be killed, it does much harm to
the joint Of mutton that lies under
meath where the wool was pulled. 1t
causes a dark bruise just in the same
manner as our bodies become discol-
ored from being bruised. A Califor-
MIA sheepman advises that the proper
way to catch a sheep Is to take It
either by the hind leg just above the
gambrel joint, or by putting the hand
underneath It's jaw or neck. In using
crook it is important, that the sheep
are not caught below the gambrel
joint as injury to the leg is liable
to result from this.-New England

The hard keeper Is the horse to sell.
The easy keeper is the one to keep.
Give the horse a bath occasionally.
By bathing the shoulders and keeping
the collars clean, many cases of CALLED
shoulders might be prevented.
The digestive powers Of hog are
marvel. He is short-lived and he does
not have time to injure his constitution
by overeating. The way he evens up is
TO cause the dyspepsia in the human
family.
The history of every country has
been that fertility decreases until a
certain stage has been reached when
farmers come to themselves and a sys-
tenn is ushered In that will bring back
or increase fertility.
To keep seed corn it should be in a
dry place and not exposed TO severe
cold. Selected ears should be hung
up where the air circulates freely, but
in warm room. Corn thus kept sell
dom fails to terminate.
Should the implement shed have but
one door or opening 1t will be good
plan to store the machinery so that
which will be used first in the spring
can be obtained without removing the
rest of the machinery in the building.
The reason for this is obvious.
There is need of some science in
hauling out manure. One needs to know
the conditions of soil, the kind of crons
to be grown, the season to apply and
the character of the manure to be ap-
piled.
Good results with potatoes have been
secured by mulching between the rows
with straw as protection during the
dry season and for keeping down
weeds. The mulching with straw has
long been known, and has its advo-
Gates, but one objection Is that the
straw serves as harboring place for
insects

Roots for Hog Cholera.

The claim has been made that If
hogs are fed regular rations of root
crops such feeding will prevent chol-
era. The statement is too broad for,
while 1t is admitted that roots will
do much to keep the hog in good con-
dltdon, preserving the animals vital
ity and enabling it to fight off dis
ease, such rations would be of no
avail If the animals were surrounded
by everything conducive to the dread
disease, such as a filthy pen and q
more filthy yard, damaged grain for
food and impure drinking water. At
ter an experience of more than quar-
ter of a century in swine-raising, / be-
ieve that cholera is due wholly to
filthy quarters and the other condi.
tions just mentioned. True, the dis.
ease is contagious or more properly
infectious, but even then few hogs
will be afflicted if they have been
properly fed aud housed. The feeding
of roots is advisable and by all means
practice it, but do not consider it a
cure for cholera or even a proven,
tive.-Indianapolis News

Doubling the Yields.

There are but few farmers, compar-
ed with the whole number, who do
not plant a larger acreage then they
can attend to profitably, the conse-
quence being smaller crops in proper
ton to cost than should be the case
Instead of forty bushels Of corn per
acre the farmer should secure eighty
bushels. The smaller yield is more
expensive than the larger, while the
time expended on twenty acres is
much greater than on ten, the manure
also being distributed over too large
surface to permit of any portion of
the crop receiving a sufficiency Of
plant food. If the expense and labor
bestowed on twenty acres could be
concentrated on ten, the yields would
be doubled, and leave the farmer ten
acres on which to grow some other
crop. In periods Of drouth the farmer
who puts his work on the smaller plat
will give it better cultivation and save
his crop. while other farmers may not
be so fortunate. Intensive culture
leads to systematic rotation Of crops,
and the land will be improved by a
diversity Of crops. All farmers have
manure, but they derive little benefit
therefrom, because they endeavor to
apply it over too much land. Give
the land the plant food and 1t will re-
pay for all expense bestowed.

Bai1inR shredded Corn.


Since it has been demonstrated that
corn slower is economically shredded
much Of this work is being done and
1t has been noticed that considerable
of this shredded stover is being put
on to the market in sections where
considerable feed has to be bought
or course this baling is done by men
who are familiar with baling hay,
but there is no reason why the farm
er cannot do 1t himself IL he Is To-
Gated near a market, where there is
likely to be a demand for the stover
put up In such a manner. Where
there Is a shortage of the hay crop or
or crops used by stock as roughage
there is likely to be a market for
the baled slower.
Care must be used, however, to
have it properly cured before it is
baled. 1t should be cured In the
shock as much as possible and then
finished In the barn. After the stow
er is shredded it will usually sweat
some and when this is over it Is fit
to bale. 1t is advised that one look
into the conditions near at home and
see what the opportunities are for a
market for baled corn stover.-St.

Selling TURKEYS,

The largest and best turkeys bring

them all because you are greedy for
money and keep inferior stock for
breeders. The breeding stock should

They should not be overgrown. Me-
dunn sized turkeys, with well rounded
bodies and large through the breast,
have strong vital organs and will be
