The Cow.Thief.

If the man behind the COW" would
do his part, no improbable animal
would masquerade under the fictitious
appellation of "milch cow" and she
would either go to the butchers block
or be made to return profit by more
intelligent care and management. 1t
passeth understanding why theft by a
COW should be tolerated more than
theft by human. In effect, the result
to the loser in either case Is the same.
Our government has found it wisdom
to study and establish far-reaching
methods for the detection and the re-
preston Of the latter; and by the
same token why should farmers and
dairymen be less vigilant in regard to
this possible proclivity in their cows
beasts described as dumb, yet out
whiting their owners? So long as
cows of this class are permitted in the
dairy herd, so long will there be dis
satisfaction and failure. Improve
ment is the route to success, whether
by breeding, better management OF
other way, and intelligence in ouI
cowmen is the power that will force
advancement in the right direction
Dairying has come to be one Of the
most important factors in agriculture
and, rightly conducted, is one of the
surest moneymakers of our varied In
dustries. 1t is incomparably more ra
tlonal than any one-crop system, OIL
even general farming, as its practice
tends to rotation Of crops, maintains
or increases the fertility Of land, anC
affords steady employment with re
turns remunerative according to thu

Breaking founa Horses.

The first thing to do when you md
a new foal is to take him In your
arms, one arm under his breast, and
the other under his rump, and carry
him about and into the house and put
a pinch of sugar on his tongue, and
1t is we'll to give him a little ride often,
two or three times week, at least
until he gets too heavy, and when he
gets 10 be a full grown horse. he will
never doubt that you are able to take
him up and carry him. When he Is a
fortnight old lead him with a small
rope around his neck, which he will
easily understand and teach him his
name and to come at call. Never play
with a colt or horse; let all your inter
course with them be grave and seri
GUS business, but kind and never
harsh or cruel. Teach them daily oil
as nearly so as possible to know the
use of a bride, saddle and harness
and to draw a vehicle. A colt sc
trained will work the first time he Is
asked to, without resistance, and gen
orally without awkwardness. Colts
that have been properly treated viii
soon take pleasure in doing what you
want them to, and manifest 1t by
their actions. They are never vicious
or unmanageable, and are not alarmed
by accidents, as breaking of the har
ness or vehicle. Such an educated
colt is worth twice as much as one
allowed to grow up without education
raw and green, and you will never per
ceive that it cost you anything to give
him the increased usefulness ant
value.-Barnum's Midland Farmer.

Some CHEAP cIaptrap.

The estimate held by the gentlemen
conducting the Hearst newspapers Of
the stock of common sense and intel
ligence possessed by the average
American workingman is evidently not
a high one.
These sheets pretend to be greatly
exercised over their recent "discoy-
cry" that American labor is going to
be Disseminated against in the mat
ter of employing workmen for the
coarse kinds of labor in constructing
the Panama canal. Natives Of the
tropics and sub-tropics (as West In
dian negroes) are to be employed, and
the other day Gen. Davis suggested
that the use of coolie labor might be
necessary. Thereupon the Hearst
papers-scenting an opportunity to
play Ito their own profit on the as
sumed childlike ignorance and credul-
ity of our laboiing classes-raised the
cry that American workingmen are to
oe cheated of the right to dig the
canal, through the employment of Chi
nese cheap labor. Coolies" says Mr.
Hearst's hired man, in high moral
indignation, work for less than free
men. But the people of the United
States will have something to say
about making the isthmus a slave
camp"
Now the people of the United States.
including the laborlng classes, are not
exactly fools, and are fully aware of
the fact that the employment of our
American white labor in the work It is
proposed to hire gangs of negroes and
If necessary coolies to do, would be
next to a physical impossibility.
White men, natives of our ATTITUDES,
could not do hard manual labor under
the tropical sun and in the fever
haunted swamps Of Panama. It is the
humane purpose of the canal commits
sion to employ so far as possible only
such laborers as are Injured to the eli
matte conditions of the isthmus and
immune from the fever peril. The
Hearst talk of the governments cheat.
ing American labor of the privilege Of
working in the Panama swamps, and
making the isthmus a slave camp"
is mere claptrap, and an affront to the
intelligence Of the class 1t is addressed
to.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

More Canal Legislation Needed.

with and somebody should be vested
with authority to attend to 1t.
A bill has been reported to the sen.

but which is based on the correct
principle. 1t makes the canal com.
missloners the governors of the canal
strip. This Is a proper Capitalization
of power while the canal is under con.
struction. 1t does away with the pos.
slblllty Of that friction which might
arise II there we're two sets Of Off.
GERS exercising functions in the same
limited territory. There are on the
commission two men OF decided ex.
ecutive ability-Admiral Walker and
Gen. Davis. The latter was military
governor of Porto Rico.
The civil engineers on the commits.
sion should be quite willing to devote
themselves to canal problems and
leave questions of government to
their more experienced associates.
The commissioners are on their
way to Panama to look over the
ground and study the situation thor.
oughly. The grant of authority to
regulate police and other matters in
the canal zone ought to follow them
speedily.-Chicago Tribune.

NOTHING TO BE DONE
DEMOCRATS SEE LITTLE PROS
PEcT FOR GETTING VOTES.
Entire Session Of Congress Has Been
Republican Vote.Maklng Time and
the Opposition Is Naturally Willing
to See an Early Finish.

1t is said that the Democrats are as
anxious as the Republicans to get
an early adjournment of congress.
The Republicans have been figuring
on closing the session about April 30,
and as they are likely to have all
the big money bills of the government
out of the way by that time, they can
probably accomplish this without det-
riment to the public service. True,
the date would be earlier than any
previous adjournment in a presiden-
.ial year for about half century, but
the work is well advanced and the
leaders of the party are anxious to
get home to do some preliminary
campaign work.
Several reasons are responsible for
the Democrats willingness that the
session should end long before the
national convention time. They see
that nothing which will be done in
congress will give them a chance to
make party capital. They supposed
they could embarrass the Republicans
by the Smoot inquiry. This resource
has failed them. The Swayne i'm
parchment matter has no votes for
them and they know It. There is no
prospect of getting any Democratic
campaign material out Of the state
hood question. Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory are favorable to union.
Arizona and New Mexico will accept
Joint statehood, although there Is
some opposition in Arizona to 1t now.
Thus the Democrats are wise In
consenting to let the Republicans have
their own way about an early winding
up of the business of the session.
Everything that can be done in Con-
gress from this time forward is more
likely to aid the Republicans than 1t
is to help the Democrats. In fact, the
entire session has been Republican
vote-making time. Every big question
that has been before Congress or that
has been considered in any Of its
aspects, from the Panama treaty and
postal investigation down, has helped
the Republican party, and correspond
ingly impeded the Democracy. These
are Republican days in any case, and
as the deliberations and deeds of Con-
gress, when they affect the conditions
at all, help the Republicans, the Dem
ocratic members are right in consent
ing to an early finish of business. The
presidential campaign is not likely to
be particularly exc ling in any stage
but the Republicans are ready to open
1t at any tlme.-St. Louis Globe Dem

Draft Horses as Farm Products.

There is no kind OF horse that can
be more easily turned into money than
the draft horse. provided he be Of
good size and sound. He is not a
very expensive proposition for the
farmer, as he can be put to work at
two years Of age and kept at work till
he is sold. From the time he begins
to work he is paying his way, and
sometimes he is doing much more.
All the value that is put onto him
after that time is put on at practically
no cost. This fact enables the farmer
to have on his farm anlrnalo that cost
nothing to keep. II they are credited
with the work they do. but which can
