THE CUBAN SITUATION

Much interest is folt as to the
part the United States is going to
play In the situation in Cuba.
That the Cubans are incapable OF
self-government. seems to follow
from recent events. The late cleo
ton Of President Pslma was vio-
lently opposed by the insurgents,
and to depose him they have re-
sorted to violence. President
Roosevelt has taken hand in the
matter, and just what the outcom"
will be cannot yet be forecast.
The United States, at the con-
cluslon Of the Spanish-American
war, with the consent of the Gov
erRment of Cuba, entered into q
treaty with the CubaHs to ecker
else the right to interfere for the
preservation Of Cuban independ'
ence,. and the maintenance OF a
government adequate for the pro
lection of life, property and indi-
vidual liberty"

THE PEACH WILLOWS

State EntomOlogist Phillips has
issued second circular to fruit
growers on the subject of "peach
yellows," in which he urges
prompt action in order TO save the
trees from this disease. No spe-
cifc cause or cure has been dis
covered, although the United
States Department of Agriculture
has spent thousands of dollars in
vestigating and studying the dis
ease.
The presence of this disease is
indicated by the fruit Eipening
prematurely and lrregularly. The
peaches on portions of the tree
may ripen, while those on the rest
of the tree are perfectly green.
Trees 90 affected have never been
known to recover. The disease
will spread to other trees. The
drastic remedy suggested is to dig
the trees up by the roots and
burn them.

Preventives of Calls,

Perfect fitting, hard collars kept
clean and the shoulders properly
cleansed when the work is done AT
night form the best preventives OF
gals. \ very successful worker ce
horses who seldom if ever had horse
with n sore shoulder made a practice of
bathing the parts with strong decoc,
ton of white oak bark for couple of
weeks prior TO the opening of springs
work and then keeping it up until the
shoulders had become thoroughly hard
ened. OF course he saw to it that the
collars were of correct size and shape.
Scratches may be in large measure pre-
vented if the legs and heels are well
cleaned and dried before the animals
are put to bed. The mud should be
wiped off the extremities as soon as
the horses come in ct night and the
dirt and dust thoroughly brushed out.
A stitch in time will save the prover
,bial amount Of trouble and money In
these cases.

SHIPPING CATTLE.
Some Points ON Grating and Sta1lin&
by Express and Freight.

by Express and Freight.
Express is always preferable to
freight where the expense is not too
great. Express companies require the
animals to be Grated, and generally I
use a short, light slat crate for little
calves, with head protruding from the
crate-that is, the body alone is cased
With older and larger animals use a
large, strong and heavier crate, full
length of animal, with the animals
neck placed in sort of stancl ion
made of two hardwood sticks that run
from floor to top and are secured at
each end. Feed can then be placed
before the animal and water will be
given by the express company's people
In shipping by freight it is generally
necessary for some man to accompany
the stock as an attendant, and then
feed, bedding, ETC., are supplied for the
trip and the attendant is expected to
care for, feed and water the stock.
The animals can be placed in stalls
that are made in the car or in stan
chions which run the length of the car.
These are made by taking two four OF
at bottom and at regular intervals
place an upright which is securely fas-
tened to these pieces and also to the
floor and the roof of the car, then in
between these pieces OF uprights place
a piece that reaches from floor just to
the top of the frame, being pinned at
the base so that it will move enough
at the top to allow the animals head
to enter the space, then close the space
and put in another pin at the top to
hold it there firmly.
The animals, of course, stand side
ways in the car and unless exception
ally large will have ample room in the
ordinary eight foot wide car and leave
a space in front of the stanchion for
feeding. Hay in small bales can be
carried over the animals by building n
sort of floor over them. Water can
be carried in barrels near the door
ways to be used in case of necessity or
haste. Where only one or two ami
mails are to be shipped by freight they
can be tied in the end of the car or Il
cheap stall made. Almost all railways
require the presence of an attendant
and generally give free fare at least
one way and sometimes both ways

RAISING CALVES
FOR BEEF

The late fall is good time for calves
to drop if we are prepared to give them
good shelter during winter, and after
much experimenting | have come to
the conclusion that shed with a saw
tooth or sectional roof with a row of
place for young stock in winter, says G
writer in Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
This shed should be connected with the
COW barn, and the barn should be
warm enough to prevent the chilling Of
q young calf which may be born during
a very cold night. There must be hay
racks and little feed hunks in the shed,
also water tank and a galvanized or
cement trougA in which to feed fresh
SKINNED, warm separator milk, but
care should be taken that nothing may
hinder driving in and turning inside
with the manure spreader This makes
it easily kept clean, and if there is nc
manure spreader at present there soon
will be. The barn must be provided
with several box stalls for the purpose
of keeping by themselves for a few
days the nurse COW and her calf and
the calf she is expected to raise until
the calves are strong enough to be
turned out into the shed.
Glover hay fed in connection with the
grains named and mill feeds should in
sure 4 fairly good flow of milk, but il

Tennis.

Tennis.
Tennis was first played in the
early part of the sixteenth century
in England and France. Matches
for considerable wagers were fre-
quently held, and rather than give
up the game many men played for
parts Of their wearing apparel after
their money was gone. In England
toward the last of the century COW
cred tennis courts were erected, and
nearly all the nobility played, in
cluding the women. Henry VII.
was a devoted follower of tennis,
and Henry VIII. was also fascinated
by the sport. The first royal tennis
match was played between this mon
arch, with the Emperor Macmillan
for partner, against the Prince Of
Orange and the Marquis de Bran
denborow. Charles IL was the first
person to adopt tennis costume

THE POULTRY HOUSE.
Winter Quarters of Fowls Should Be
Prepared For Occupancy.

Winter Quarters OF Fowls Should Be
Prepared For Occupancy.
1t is not too soon to begin prepara-
lions for next winter, says Farm Jour
nal. Too soon to do the work is not
to be considered unless there is nothing
to do. 1t is surprising how much one
will have to do when winter comes on
and he is unprepared.
The poultry house may require over
hauling in various ways or new one
may be built. 1t will be found that a
new house will be less damp if built
soon enough to allow the wood to sea-
son before winter. Earth floors that
have been saturated with the drop
pings of the fowls should be removed
to the depth of six inches and fresh
material used, and the roof should be
carefully examined while made tight
on the old house.
Another point is that it is only after
one has built poultry house and used
it a year that he knows what he wants.
No man ever built a poultry house that
he could not see something to improve
about it, and it is this experience that
is assisting to get more eggs in winter
Then there are the roosts and nests
Those who have spent hours per-
forming the work of cleaning out the
poultry houses will appreciate any la
Dor saving contrivances, and the time
to adopt them is before the winter be-
gins.
1t is suggested that the house have
plenty Of windows, SO as to secure
sunlight and warmth Nothing is so
repugnant to fowls as darkness during
