or Foreign Affairs HayaShl.
Relations Are Cordial.
He prefaced his statement by ex-
pressing the hope that a sincere pro-
nouncement by the foreign minister OF
Japar and its publication would pre-
vent further Misrepresentation and
finally result In discrediting those who
are constantly circulating false and
harmful reports. He spoke not only
as a foreign minister, but as repre-
senting the sentiment of the entire
cabinet and the public Minister
Hayashi then said that the relations
between Japan and America were
as smooth and cordial as ever, and
the cause of civilization as well as
the community Of interest demanded
their lasting peace and friendship.
Confirms Expressed Views.
That full weight may be given the
Interview, 1t Is proper to state that it
was granted by the foreign minister
only after lengthy consideration of the
propriety Of an official statement at
this time. His pronouncement con-

grafton question was the most serious
matter and was uppermost In the pub.
lie mind, but he was positive that it
would be settled without friction.
Question Requires Patience.
Already it practically has been de-
cided. The Japanese government pro-
poses to control emigration in such a
manner as to benefit Japan and at the
same time conform to the wishes of
the American government, and is TAX
ing most active steps in this direction
The foreign minister believes that
Japan will be able to solve the ques-
ton in this manner, 1T requiring only
the patience of the peoples of both
countries. One thing certain is that
the japanese government is not So
lititous for the immigration of its peo-
pie into any country.

JEWELS OF VAST ANTIQUITY.
Discoveries Made at the Capital o.
Ancient Persia,

Remarkable discoveries have been
made in the ruins of the temples at
susa, the ancient capital Of Persia.
where marvels Of jewelry have been
brought TO light, the earliest examples
ever known of that country.
The jewels Of gold and silver are
;he first OF those codn tries and those
ages which have come down to the
present day. In this they present .
great interest. Unfortunately, II is not
possible TO assign a precise date TO
each of them. AS the cylinders and
seals which form part Of the find,
belong to all periods from the fortieth
or fftieth century B. C. down 10
date OF foundation, SO II is with the
jewels. There are some OF every
age. The rings OF filigree work and
the scepter with the lions head seem
TO be more recent than the statuettes
OF gold and silver, which have 4
frankly archaic appearance, but one
can not be sure OF this appreciation
Have the discoveries not been surpris
cd by finding rings which, II their
origin had not been certain. would be
attributed by the most acute connois
seurs to the Greek or Etruscan
epochs,
Before the discoveries al Dashur
nothing was known OF The Egyptian
jevelry. The opening OF the tombs
OF the princes OF the twelfth d, mast,
was a revelation. 1t is the same nov
aS regards Elan.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.

Kentucky blue grass requires three
or four years to become firmly estab-
lished, and great care must be exer-
cised to pasture 1t lightly until it be-
comes firmly set. After 1t has grown
into thick sod. close pasture will not
hurt 1t.
When pastured close to the ground
in favorable weather It will reproduce
itself in a few days. The early spring
growth Is excellent for young pigs, and
as the summer advances the quality
improves and its capacity for flesh
producing increases.
blue grass pasture should not be
pastured to death. It will stand al
most unlimited pasturage, but there is
a point beyond which 1t will prove I'M
profitable to pasture. and that point
should not be found.
The most satisfactory way is to have
the fields cross-fenced and allow the
swine on one pasture at time and
give one an opportunity to grow up
while the other is being cropped.
There is no economy in allowing the
hogs to run in a field where there is
no grass. It will do them no good and
will keep the grass from growing new
shoots and the roots will die out.
Time should be given 1t to recuperate
by changing the hogs and not allow
ing 1t to become overstocked.
The fall growth of blue grass. IL left
standing, will afford excellent winter
grazing for the swine and 1t will be
the first grass that will put forth Its
leaves In the spring.-W. M. Kelly.

CARE OF The WOODLOT
Waste Must Be Stopped or Farmers
Will Suffer Great Loss
Later On.
THERE is right way to do every
thing, and the care of the farm

THERE is right way to do every
thing, and the care of the farm
wood-lot is not an exception to
the rule. The right way, moreover, is
often quite simple, the good results
which follow being out of all propor-
tion to the time or labor expended.
Too many farm wood-lots are SIM
ply neglected, and by far the greater
number of them are misused for want
of foresight or a true appreciation of
their value.
We must not dispose of the wood
lot. We need it for our own use. We
can make it give us fuel, posts, poles.
boards, ETC., which we need to keep
our farmstead and barns in repair.
With q little encouragement, its
value for home supply will increase
year by year, While we use it, it will
renew itself. and the price of its pro-
ducts are certainly not decreasing. On
the contrary, they are rapidly getting
higher each year. and are doing SO by
leaps and bounds.
The prices of lumber are advancing
and the man who builds must pay ex-
brilliant prices for ordinary grades of
building material.
The wood-lot should never be turned
into pasture. If it can be avoided.
Tree seedlings are quickly bruised and
crushed by the trampling of live stock.
Hungry cattle browse upon them.
The soil becomes packed hard and
is unable to retain moisture so much
needed for the encouragement of
young growth.
In thinning the woodlot 1t is best
not to leave large openings for the
sunlight streams through them, dry
ing the soil and encouraging the
growth of grass, which should never
be suffered to replace the spongy hui
mus that forms the natural top layer
Of soil in healthy forest.
A crown canopy, formed by the
leaves and branches, should always
shade the forest floor. Too much

For grazing alone. blue grass is one
OF the very best, IL not the best, grasses
that can be grown on the farm. Once

just when this point is reached.
The Department Of Agriculture Is
testing machine designed to record
the amount of moisture in corn. This
is of great Importance, as no grain is
so subject to deterioration by moisture
as corn.
