FARM coNvENIENcEs,
From the Farmer and Breeder.

The busy western farmer does noL
give sufficient attention to having
things convenient for doing his every
day work. This is doubly true Of the
farm house. The farm house should
contain every possible appliance for the
creature comforts of the farmers fam
lily. The so-called modern house is
more readily arranged in the country
than i'm town and there is much more
use for it,. The household co~nveniences
for performing the necessary daily or
weekly home operations should be in
every farm house whose owner pretends
to live in comfort. The members of the
farmers family perform the work more
than the families of other house owners
and they should have the conyeniences
for doing so with the least possible hard
work.
The barn and feed yards should be
conveniently arranged in connection
with feed bins and hay mows. Water
should be where it can be had without
trouble and the stock Will be less liable
to go without at times. Doing chores
ais many farmers do them is not an
easy task, but with proper conveniences
the work can be lone with much less
labor and at the same time lone SO
much better. Stock Will not so out
to drink cold water many times when
the weather is extra cold until 50
| thirsty that they drink too much and
then SILVER away the growth they
should he making.
Prouer feeds is no more important
than proper times and methods Of feed
ing. Stock will enjoy being out III quite
old weather if the sun is shining and
they know that there is plenty OF feed
and a warm place in which TO rest
when the sun goes down.

Paris, AIN. 26.-Ministerial circles
here are much annoyed over reports
relative TO Frances alleged hesitation
and regarding the NeneZ-
uelan question.
Highly placed officials of the foreign
office today protested energetically
against such statements made on the
subject, saying:
France has always been and is still
determined to obtain the fullest salts
faction for affronts from Venezuela.
She will select her own time for the
action, and not stir up a wasps' nest
to which Castro has shown the way
until a general policy leaves her free
to do so. France will not act at n
ones bidding. She will choose her own
hour and moment and then act as be-
seems her, with absolute resolve to
have her rights respected"
To the question whether a blockade
had been ordered a direct negative was
given.
