Premier Katsura of Japan in an ad-
dress before a club of bankers at
Tokyo outlined the policy of the gov
ernment in a manner which should al.
lay the apprehensions of timorous
souls who see in every move in that
direction a threat of war with the
United States. The premier set forth
plans for developing the resources Of
the empire and avoiding unnecessary
expenditure. This peaceful program
contained nothing to which objection
can be taken anywhere. On the con-
trary, the plans deserve the warmest
approval. Japan has had enough OF
war for the present. and sees that her
highest interests will be served
by promoting prosperity at home
and Strengthening friendly relations
abroad.

The daylight saving" bill appears
to have gone by the board in. the
British house of of commons, and no
great harm done. The matter was
solemnly considered by a committee.
and for awhile 1t looked as though par
lament would enact the measure But
sober second thought set in. and the
committee reported in favor of drop
ping the BILL because of grave doubts
whether its objects would be attained
without subjecting some important In
terests to serious inconvenience" And
that is the end Of the agitation SO far
as parliament is concerned.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

Keep salt, either rock or barrel,
along within reach of the cattle. Pref
erences differ as to which kind Is best.
A little grain for the calves is es-
sential and remember that the first
years growth is the most important
IN their lives.
Alfalfa mixed with other legumes
and grasses will provide a great
amount of feed and pleasing variety
for all classes of cattle.
Forage crops for soiling will keep
the young stock growing and main
tain the milk flow of the COWS when
the pastures get dry in late summer.
Don't let the high prices of wheat
and feed grains induce you to curtail
your live stock operations. Stock
keeping is an absolute necessity in
modern farming.
It's a great loss when the stock
does not have plenty of green forage.
Temporary pastures of the small
grains provide fine pasture and are
not nearly appreciated.
This season Is unusually late and
pasturage is far behind the average
season. It will pay to keep the pas
lures in good thrift and not have them
gnawed down to the roots at the be-
ginning of summer.
The breeding bull should be kept in
thrifty condition at all times. He
needs good care and feed to do this.
The sire's physical condition at the
time of breeding exerts much infiu'
ence on the offspring.
One of the great advantages OF
| mixed grasses for pasture Is that diff
| ferent varieties mature at different
seasons and some of them are al
their prime feeding value at all times
| of the pasturage season.

ShAep Manure.

Prof. Roberts of Cornell University
says the fertilizer produced by sheep
in year is worth $S.17. While the
most of this is left in the pasture, its
value to the farmer depends much
upon the condition of the grass there.
Many of our pastures are in such con-
dition that they need breaking up and
reseeding as much as they do fertil-
izers, and until something is done to
remedy this trouble the value of the
manure made by the sheep would to
some extent be wasted. We know
that the sheep improves the pasture
and thus gives the grass a better
chance; but the sheep should not be
forced to live entirely upon weeds

Feeding Cows.

Animals of the same variety are not
alike, and scarcely any two will do
equally well on the same food. Each
animals wants should be well sup
piled, If possible. Cattle of different
ages should be separated for feeding,
as the weak ones will not do well with
the strong. Cows are weak and shy;
it takes them longer to eat their meals
and they should therefore be put
where they can not be domineered by
superiors in strength.

were followed less than week later
by J. B. Giffen, who produced a
chunk of gold weighing almost
pound, with a value of 1892. AS
was only natural, the find set the

was a mere bagatelle compared to
that which, tornado-like, struck the
camp last Saturday, when Barney
Francisco, who has a lease on the
December claim, below the Lemon
mill, broke into gravel that went

looked brighter. With gravel run
