MiIk-Fed Edible Rates.

The Chinese diplomat regarded his

feeders, ela?"
The American laughed long and
loud.
"You." he cried. "are repealed by
frogs legs, you who eat dogs and
rats"
"Ah, but" said the Chinaman, "our
edible dogs and rats are the cleanest
feeders imaginable. They are equal
to celery-fed duck or California peach
fed hog. They are confined in ruins,
you know, and to make their flesh
white and delicate. they are fed on
mushes of bread and milk and vegeta-

You Americans think it disgusting
to eat rats and dogs because you
imagine them fattening on carrion and
offal. But these frogs here-no, Pm

WORLD CONDEMNS CASTRO.

Press of All Lands Agrees That Ven
ezueIa's President Is an international
Nuisance That Some Power Should

Apropos Of the trouble between Cas-
tro and the Dutch. the Pan-American
In it's current issue publishes comment
from the newspapers of Europe and
South America on Castro. his style Of
government and lis method CT dealing
with foreign powers and interests. In
its own account the Pan-AEerican
says:
THE result of the association of de
hurtful. One South.American repub-
lie has done more to b!acken the char
acter Of and destroy the worlds con-
fidence in Latin American republics
than can be wiped out of the worlds
memory in many decades. This alleged
republic and its kind should be black
listed commercially and in all national
dealings. Most of the important world
powers have already ostracized this
republic for good and sufficient rea-
sons South American states would
do well to follow Europe's example"
Neither La Prensa of Rio de Janeiro,
the Herald of Buenos Aires nor Modern
Mexico expresses any sympathy for
Castro. The last named paper advises
him not to look for help from the
United States should ths Neither

Modern Mexico adds: "Castro would
show sound sense by meeting the
American government halfway in the
matter of the American claims.
"But II he won't it is not likely, I'M

to leave the United States government
no choice. that there will be war or

An international Nuisance.
From the London Times this quota

belauds himself and his sway and as
sures the world. with all the eXtrava-
gance of Spanish rhetoric,
that he has made Venezuela great,
glorious and free are masterpieces OF
impudent mendacity. But the man is
not only ruthless and greedy tyrant
at home. He has long been an inter-
national! nuisance. and sooner or later,
by one power or by another that nui-
sance will have to be abated"
The Hague TELEGRAPH says: ''The dis
pute is not of private or commercial

CoUNTRY's RESOURCES
Conservation Commission Meets to
Hear Reports on Inventory - Big
Task Completed = First Stop in
Great Undertaking.

| Washington, Dec. with the open
the national conservation commission,
the movement inaugurated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for conserving the ma
tons resources, is nearing fruition. At
today's session the first steps will be
taken toward putting into tangible
shape the results of the six months
hard work on taking stock of the
country's waters. forests, lands and
minerals.
| Next week, after the commission has
gone over the inventory, it will hold
a joint meeting in Washington with
tories, or their representatives.
AT the meeting the governors will
discuss the work which the national
conservation commission has been car
rying on during the summer and fall.
The outcome of this work is the first
thorough inventory of the nations
natural resources the federal govern
ment has ever made. The inventory is
now practically complete. On this in
ventory. which the conservation COM
mission expects to lay before the gov
ernors, the report which President
Roosevelt has requested the commits
sion to make to him not later than
Jan. l, will be based
With less than six months in which
to make the inventory the four
branches into which the commission is
divided, aided by the cooperation of
the government departments, have
brought together what is probably the
most useful collection of facts about
the material things on which national
industry and progress are based that
has ever been assembled at one time.
Reports presenting these facts and
pointing out their significance have
been prepared These reports, sum-
married and indexed, will be submitted
to the commission at it's present meet
ing.
The work is now practically done
The facts are there, in dollars and
cents, tons OF coal. board feet of tim
Der, acre feet and horsepower and wa
ter. acres of land. And the possible re-
form measures have been weighed The
final report to the president will be the
necessary supplement to the addresses
at the White House conference. The
note of these addresses was a note of
warning. The report is expected to
show that the warning must be heed
ed if the exhaustions of natural re-
sources is not. one day. TO impoverish
the nation, and it will also undoubted-
~ bring out how the country's re-
sources can be developed so as to last
the longest possible time and serve the
greatest good of the people.
Next week will be conservation week
in Washington. Besides the meeting of
the governors the country life COM
mi rsion will hold a meeting. The
southern commercial congress will be
in session Dec. { and s. and will then
merge with the national rivers and
harbors congress, which will hold its
annual meeting Dec. 9 and IL.

| Chicago, Dec. 1.--Cattle-There were
few, but choice animals on the market
and altho receipts We're 5000 less thar
yesterday, trade early was slow, at
unchanged prices. Later, however
better demand sprang up. and the mar
ket closed strong with top price of
$7.75.
Moderate runs will likely be all that
can be cared for later this week. Beef
trade is not such as affords a ready
clearance of the present well-loaded
coolers. The situation both in local and
eastern beef channels calls for contfn-
ued small runs of cattle later this
week Heavy shipping of finished
beeves later this week will likely
prove a bad policy. The sales Of
show steers on Thursday will fill most
probable demands for choice grades.
Buyers usually give preference to the
show animals as against those on the
open market

Receipts for the month Of November
have been very liberal, and total close
to $4,000 head. This is the largest
November crop since 1901. The gain
over last year is striking and stands
at $4,000. That was partly because
a year ago at this time the market
was badly depressed on account of the
financial panic For the first eleven
months of the year the hog supply to-
tails 100000, which is a gain of $751;
900 for the year thus far.

Receipts of sheep for November to-

more than came last year, because of
the unusual run of native stuff. The
supply was the largest for November
since 1903. The years receipts thus
far total 3,91S. 900, gain of 10000 over
the same period of last year.
