BREEDING soWs.
They Should Be Kept In Medium Flesh
at All Times.

Breeding sows should be Kept IN
medium flesh At all times. They can
not be kept thin without decreasing
their rations below what they should
be to keep up vigor. In keeping them
too thin there is also the possibility
Of a tendency to breed In q quality
preventing rapidity Of fattcning. The
thrift Of the sows should always be
such that their progeny will inherit
the tendency to fatten quickly. Also
the sows themselves, when beyond
their usefulness as breeders. will need
to be fattened, and the quality should
be retained for that purpose.
II a SOW is permitted to become
too fat she may deteriorate as .
breeder. Overwhelming breeding ami.
mails, says the Farmer Review, some
times causes such changes In them
that they are never afterwards of any
good as breeders. The breeding sows
should be fed q ration having a good
proportion of protein, about one part
Of protein to FIVE parts of carbohy.
drates, and should be allowed to run
in a place large enough to induce ex.
erciss. The exercise combined with
the quality Of the rations should keep
them in q medium condition Of flesh,
and will do so II the quantity Of the
feed be restricted to an amount that
will prevent overwhelming. Even with
a thoroughly balanced ration 1t Is pos
sible for sow with a healthy appe.
lite to become too fat.

Pasturlnq Sheep.

A correspondent asks US how many
sheep can be pastured on 80 acres
of fairly well set land in blue grass.
In reply to this inquiry, 1t may be
said that there IL no hard and fast
rule. 1t depends entirely on the luxuri.
ance of the pasture, the season, ETC.,
says the Rural New Yorker. Practical
sheep men say three to four sheep
per acre are enough. And yet. as al.
ready stated. this would depend on the
season. character Of the pasture, etc,
Much In all these practical things must
be left to the flock master. In this
connection It may be said that one
growing sheep should have q few
acres Of rape to turn the sheep to
from the pasture occasionally. Rape
is . rapid grower, and Is very valu'
able for sheep, till late In the fall
season.

On sober second thought Canada Is not
quite sure It wants to build couple Of
Dreadnoughts to aid Great Britain and
increase the imperial navy strength
The matter has been held up while
the cabinet considers the subject care
fully. There is not the slightest doubt
Of the Dominions loyalty to the British
crown, but, as has been limited by some
prominent statesmen up that way.
there may be times when Canada
would prefer to go alone and not get
drawn into British complications.

CONFERENCE WITH sEcRE-
TARY KNOX.
MAY ADJUST EMERY CLAIM
Nevertheless Our Naval Forces In Cen
trail American Waters to be In
creased to Six
Vessels.

Washington, Mar. 16.-Ntcaragua'
Through her minister here, Senior Es'
|pinoza, protested to Secretary Knox
Monday that the military and naval
activity now In progress in that cOun-
try is destined entirely for defensive
purposes; that she does not contem-
plate making any attack on her sister
republics, and that conditions are quiet
within her borders.
The minister went to the state de-
partment armed with bundle OF dis
patches from his government and
spent half hour with the secretary
during which he discussed also the
Emery claim, which has been the
source Of dispute between the two
countries for years.
Both the secretary and the minister
after the conference expressed the
hope for a satisfactory adjustment OF
the claim and a peaceful solution oil
the whole situation.
Notwithstanding the minister's as
sertion Of Nicaragua's peaceful inten-
lions toward her neighbors, the ad-
ADMINISTRATION has decided to argument
the naval force in Central American
waters to a total of six vessels. In
addition to the yorktown, now en-
route for Amapala, Honduras, the arm
ored cruisers Maryland and Washing
Eton are to remain on the West Coast
the former going to Acajutla, Salvador
and the latter to Corinto.
The most significant news that
reached the state department Monday
was that about 5000 Nicaraguan
TROOPS are near the Honduran frontier
THE chief scene Of activity being
lin the nelghborhood of Corinto, where
are also concentrated four gunboat'

lit is gathered that the Nicaraguani
are doing nothing to make his position
agreeable, but that on the contrarl
there are evidences Of hostility to him
and 1t is understood here also tina
some of his dispatches have not reach
ed him as promptly as they should.
The whole situation is inexplicabl'

Association Receives Important
Report on Forests.

Chicago, Mar. 15.-Leading railway
engineers from all parts of the ceun-
try were in Chicago Monday in attend
ance on the sessions Of the annual
convention of the American railway
engineering and maintenance Of Eav
association which opened in the Ahdi-
forum hotel. SO far as the general
public is concerned, the most interest
ing and important feature of the con
Yention, Is the report Of a special com
mittee which, If favorably received
by the association, will result IN the
active cooperation Of the railways
with the government in the conserve
ton of the country's forests.
This report, was made Monday BY .
subcommittee on forest supplies OF
the comHAtttee on ties. 1t recommends
that the utmost care be used to pre-
vent waste Of timber and that own
ers of forest lands be encouraged 10
replant. 1T Is also proposed that
measuresSbe adopted to prevent tires;
that legislation be sought that VIII
make 1t unnecessary to cut timber to
pay taxes, on the lines Of the ma
tional conservation commissions plan
for a separate tax on the land, that
on the timber to be paid only after 1t
is cut; and that a statistical bureau
be established to obtain information
as to the life of ties, timber supplies
and waste.
Not having found any reinforced
concrete tie suitable for heavy or
high speed trafic, the committee rec
ommends the use Of ties chemically
treated and protected by the plates.
The report was received with the
greatest interest by the members oil
the association and its Recommended
lions were looked upon generally with
favor.

RECEIVED HIGHEST REWARD.
Honestly and HOnOrably.


An article recently appeared In
these columns attacking the genuine
ness of the award given Calumet Bak-
ing Powder at the Worlds Pure Food
Exposition, held at the Coliseum IN
Chicago In 1907, and intimatlng that
this high award was obtained by IL
Legitimate means.
This article was not news item,
as YOU were perhaps led to believe,
but 1t positively was an advertise.
ment in every sense of the word, sent
out and paid for for the sole pur-
pose of injuring Calumet Baking
Powder.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley's name was
used in this article to make 1t APP
near forceful and to create the I'M
preston upon tho minds of the pub
lie that he had condemned Calumet
Baking Powder. This, we are inform
ed, is absolutely false and without
foundation.
when the Worlds Pure Food Ex-
position Of 1907 was organized, 9
Commission Of Tests, consisting oil
10 most eminent scientists Chemists
psychologists and physicians) was
appointed, which had entire control
Of the granting of awards.
This Commission Tests directed the
chemists as to the nature and extent
of the tests to be applied In the case
Of each particular product. The re-
ports made by the chemists were the
~ ii, - Roota unon which the commits
sion granted the awards. Every pos
sible safeguard was placed about the
granting of awards, to prevent
crOokedness.
Under these circumstances the Cal'
umet Baking Powder Co. feels justly
proud of having received the highest
award for Calumet Baking Powder,

Poor America.

The American novelist of the newer
order Is apt to write, as the American
young woman talks, at the top of his
voice. There is something in the at
mosphere of the United States, partly
natural, partly artificial, and the eff
feet of an inveterate spirit of rivalry
which stimulates the organs of ex-
preston to an excessive, often a
strident, pitch of energy. The itching
national desire to be thought original,
to have "snap and CO." in season and
out of season, leads inevitably to
, ,freakishness, irrelevance, slang and
grievous maltreatment of language.
Tho literary ideals of Hawthorne
are evidently obsolete. Even those
Of Mr.. Henry James and Mr.. w. D.
Howells are contemned or forgotten.
The ambition of the. younger school
of transatlantic novelists is. as we are
frequently told, to produce "real live"
stories. Assuredly that is one of the
most laudable of ambitions, but it,
miscarries sorely when it results in a
fussy effort to galvanize inert matter
to a semblance of vigor and gayety.
Not thus is the novel endowed with
organic life.-London Chronicle.
