Two Of the largest merchant SHIPS
aiOat have just been launched from
the San Francisco yards. American
shipping on the Pacific is growing at
a rapid rate without any encourage
ment by government subsidies There
are several reasons for this, the prin-
clpal ones being the advantageous
position Of the United States 10
reference to the commercial nations
of Asia and the possession Of Islands
and coaling stations. Our tariff makes
ship building more expensive to US
than to the nations of western
Europe. For this reason we have few
ships on the Atlantic. On the other
hand, ship owners of western Europe
are cautious about establishing lines
on the Pacific because of the danger
Of loss in time of war. Still we are
anxious to dig the Panama Canal and
divide our pond with all corners.

According to Associated Pres dis.
patches Judge Alton B. Parker Of
New York refused to attend a meet
ing Of the Lotus Club, at which his
friends were to launch his boom for
the presidency. He gave as his rea.
son the fact that he did not wish to
appear in the attitude OF seeking the
nomination. At the club meeting
Judge Charles NJ. Preston, his neigh.
Dor and warm personal and political
friend stated positively upon infor-
nation fer which he offered to be per-
sonally responsible, that Judge Park
er would accept the nomination if it
came without his seeking, and that
he had voted for Bryan in 1896 and 10

that Judge Parker, while he believes
in the bi.metalic standard of money.
was not 10 sympathy with his party's
declaration for the free and unlimited

never been induced to express his
views as to Judge Parker S availabili-

dorsed anybody who is big enough

RouGHAGE FOR STOCK.

While both horses and cattle are
sometimes troubled with throat dit
iiculty that needs the attention OF
veterinarian, in the majority OF cases
it will be found that that trouble is
due almost wholly~to the feeding OF
dusty hay. Horses are much given
TO this acute throat trouble in con
nection with sneezing. which will stop
almost Immediately if the hay is well
moistened before being fed.
1t is a good plan. If hay is fed in a
manger instead of rack, to sprinkle
a little water in the bottom OF the
manger each time before feeding and
then moisten the hay. Do the same
when the hay is fed to cattle. 1t is
a good plan to wet the corn slower
also, for while there is less dust in 1t
than in hay there is enough to trouble
the cattle; besides, the wet fodder is
always more palatable.

THE WALKING GAIT.

Walking is one of the gaits that is
nearly always neglected. and yet an
active, quick, clsar-footed walk is a
valuable gait to the horse intended
for the farm. for use as a roadster OF
for a sadd,er. A horse broke to har
ness is generally trained for a while
at the side of some steady Old ami
NAL. and the youngster, if inclined to
walk fast soon begins to learn that il
is not the thing to do For that rea
son it is best to break a young horse
in single harness or under the saddle,
and train him to be a good walker
as well as good at other gaits A
three-year-old is generally better
walker than he will be at any other
age if he is kept as harness horse,
unless specially trained with view
to brisk, active movement in that gait

HOW TO DIP SHEEP.

For dipping number OF sheep,
from 1000 head up, the vat should De
at least forty feet in length and five
feet deep. The bottom OF the vat
should be six inches wide, the sides
sloping outward and upward. till at
the top the measurment across Is at
least two feet, but on no account
should it be any wider, as then the
sheen swimming through could turn
around. which is one of the things to
be guarded against. The vat is made
five feet deep to obyiate the danger
of the sheep striking the bottom or
the vat when thrown in, and is made
sloping at the sides to save expense
in dip. The inside of the vat should
be flush, so that no obstruction VIII
interfere with the passing through OF
the sheep Sink the vat in the
ground to the depth of four feet. The
vat should be filled with water to see
if it leaks. Keep water in it till the
leakage stops, then. bail it out and
fill with the dip.
