,.,.iIs of Plans Will Be Submitted to
Ambassador o'Brien at Early Date
Canadian Minister Concludes Neao-
+iatons-Criticized for ignoring the
American Representative.

Toxic, Dec 2S.-Rodo1phe Lemieux
canadian minister of labor, who con-
o,nded his negotiations with the Jap
orpse government regarding the regu-
,o+ion of immigration to Canada, said
tn the Associated Press:
"NTv lips are sealed on the subject.
ANY statement have to make belongs
6rst 10 the dominion government. ny
mission will be completed only after
NV return to Ottawa. My colleagues
-bpre will be in position to fully dis
orcs and consider the whole question
in its various phases. I have every
roason to believe that solution Of the
difficulty will soon be reached and
am pleased to say that my negotiations
with the Japanese foreign office were
conducted in the friendliest spirit.
q return with nothing but the most
nIpasant recollections."
The Associated Press is in a posi-
tion to state that the situation is iden-
ticaI with it's previous forecasts. Mr..
IAmieux and Sir Claude M. MacDon-
aid the British ambassador, fully
agreed with the terms of the memo
randum, whereunder the Japanese
government outlines it's plans for the
future control of emigration, the an
nouncement of which will probably be
made when a similar arrangement is
outlined to Mr.. Thomas O'Brien, the
American ambassador, who, it is un-
derstood, has submitted number of
SUGGESTIONS from the American gov
eminent for the consideration of the
foreign office.
Control of Emigration.
These suggestions, it is believed,
largely served to guide the arrange
ment submitted to Canada through
Mr.. Lemieux, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the Japanese gov
eminent will soon submit to Ambas-
sador OBrien the details of the plans
to control emigration to America,
which practically amount to the pre-
yention of all labor emigration.
The attitude of Mr.. Lemieux toward
the American ambassador has aroused
much comment in diplomatic circles.
Lemieuy entirely ignored the Ameri-
can embassy and evidently preferred
not to discuss the matter with Ambas-
sador O'Brien. It is understood that
the foreign minister, Viscount Haya-
shi, throughout his conferences with
Lemieux consistently declined to sac
rifce any treaty rights, or to set any
limit upon the number Of Japanese
which will be permitted to land in
Canada monthly.
Mr.. Lemieux and party sailed for
home on the Empress of China Decem-
Der &c, the Canadian government hav-
ing instructed him to report at the
earliest possible moment.

Money In Peanut Raising.

Texas farmers are getting 80 cents a
bushel for peanuts, and with yield
of from fifty to sixty bushels to the
acre are calling it big money"
The acreage in peanuts for another
year will be large, as this price win
bring more than cotton at 10 cents per
pound.
The farmers OF Burmah have recog-
nized the commercial value of the pea
nut, and have this year increased the
area planted to 78,743 from 37,110
acres last year, and 1t Is reported that
a much larger area will be planted to
this tuber next season. Thus far most
of the peanut planting is done in the
provinces Of Magwe and Myingyan.

Foxtail and Pigweed.

Both these weeds are ANNALS; that
is, they grow from seeds each year or
season and the plants die after ripen-
ing seeds. The way to keep them down
Is to prevent the plants from ripening
seed and making sure that are no seeds
in the grain sown upon the farm. Fox
tall Is troublesome, because 1t springs
up In cultivated fields after the crops
are laid by, and then it comes up in
stubble and in meadows and pastures.
Late cultivation Of corn fields, and
moving the stubble, meadows and pas
lures to keep seeds from forming, IL
the way to attack this weed. Judging
from the way these weeds spring up,
whenever conditions are favorable,
there must be great stores of them In
cultivated fields-showing the seeds are
long-lived. Pigweed quickly springs up
In corn or potato fields, after culti-
walton has ceased. These seeds ripen
from August 10 to November 1, 80 1t
will take vigorous measures to get rid
of them. In fact, the only way to get
rid of these weeds is to cut them down
before seeds mature. II crop Of
them is left to mature in corn fields,
and then the seeds plowed under the
coming season, you have stored away
enough seeds to bother you for the
next ten years.

TO Feed the Horse.

A common way Of feeding dray
horses and other street teams in the
city is illustrated here. A sack is

inches in length. The bottom is made
of good stiff piece Of harness leather
cut out and sewed firmly into the hem
of the ducking. A leather strap is
riveted into one side Of the mouth of
the sack, and buckle is riveted on
the other, so that the whole may be
strapped on to the horses head, as
shown. In order to feed horse must
be unchecked, and he soon learns to
place the sack on the ground, where he
can push his nose to the bottom Of it to
clean out the last of the food.
For the farmer who takes day to
60 to town these sacks will be found
very handy, as horse can be fed with
them without any waste Of grain pro-
viding he is unchecked. A little eau
tion should be used in placing the sack
on horse not accustomed to 1t, as 1t
may cause him. to jerk back. How
ever, after he has once eaten a meal
from it he can be considered well

Cowpea Hay.

II. M. Cottrell, after years OF expe-
rience and observation, says that cow
pea hay is nearly equal to alfalfa In
feeding value, and contains nearly one
half more flesh and milk making ma
terial than clover hay. 1t is rich In the
mineral matter that is needed In form
ing bone, blood, flesh and milk. These
qualities make it especially valuable
for feeding growing cattle and pigs,
dairy COWS and fattening steers and
hogs. The cowpea enriches the land
on whicb>it grows, the same as alfalfa,
clover and soy beans. 1t makes hard
soils mellow and aids in holding loose
soils together, and stands dry weather

Shide, Isle of Wight, Dec. 31-The
hill observatory registered an earth
quake yesterday morning. Prof. John
Milne, the well known authority on
seismic disturbances, says that it was
one of the greatest earthquakes ex-
those in the early part of 1907 and
the previous year. Prof. Milne, in
making a comparison from the records
of today, referred to the Kingston,
Jamaica, disaster as being similar in
kind. He believed that the present
disturbance, if not of submarine orr
gin, may prove to have been most de-
structive.

"A series of earthquake shocks of
great violence were recorded at the

between Mexico and Colombia, and
produced formidable effects. The rec

began at $50 a. m. and reached the
maximum at TIA a. m. The disturb

To Remove Blue of Furniture.

Many housewives have been an

which so often appears on mahogany
pianos and other pieces of highly pol
ished furniture. For removing such
An appearance one woman has very
successfully used a solution composed
of a tablespoonful of vinegar in a
quart of clear water. This applied
with a cheesecloth rag, first saturated
and then wrung out as dry as possible.
The furniture is rubbed very lightly
with this and is then polished just as
lightly with a dry piece Of cheese
cloth. If the first application is not
successful it may be tried again in a
week.
