japan and War,

-H .H-|T" r.. FIIEr.
A prominent ambassador at Wash
ington says the peace Of the world de-
wolves upon the United States; that
the danger Of war pivots upon the far
east, and Japan has played her hand.
If war results from the situation in
the far east in a way to involve this
country the decision rests ultimately
with Japan. The United States may
be the only possible peacemaker, but
that is a secondary consideration at
present.
The United States is not seeking
wal with Japan o nagging the Japs
into hostilities. She is insisting upon
the observance Of certain treaty stipu-
lations and loyalty to various agree
ments." Her attitude now is what It
was five years ago, and If aggressive
now in Japan's eyes it has been ag-
gressive all the way through. Japan
may see that her commercial future is
imperiled by the growth Of the United
States. If the Japs are determined to
eight over that, this country cannot
yery well hold them without first adj
ministering a thrashing. That's all.

Fairbanks as Q Peace Prophet.
Former Vice President Fairbanks
promptly held up to ridicule the au-
thors Of war rumors when he returned
from his globe encircling tour. The
jingoes who advance these rumors, he
says, are neither wise nor patriotic.
Referring particularly to Japan and
this country, Mr.. Fairbanks sees not a
cloud upon the horizon between these
two nations.
The people Of this country are well
aware that there is no Ill will here
against Japan. For the truth about
Japan's attitude we must look to cool
and obsefvant Americans who have
first hand knowledge Of the situation
Ii the far east. Japan's own protest
OF friendliness may or may not; be sin
eere. But the facts cannot well be dis
guised with the door Of travel open
and capable minds reading the signs
OF the times on the spot.

Forecasts Of the 1910 Election.
Speculation is rife just now. at the
opening Of the second year Of Taft as
to the lineup and results in the gen.
eral elections Of 1910. Voters are ex-
pected to express at the polls their
likes and dislikes Of things as they
seem to be drifting. Perhaps the first
gun Of 1912 will be fired next Novem-
Der. But it may kick. and scatter con-
fusion in the rear.
Much, much may happen between
November, 1910, and November, 1912,
to affect the next national election
Seats in congress and in state execu-
tive mansions may be lost this year
and spur the losers to come back
stronger and recover them in 1912. It
will be an important of year election.
and present prospects r that party
lines will be run over in the zeal to
settle issues more vital to the public
veal than the life Of any particular
party combinations.

several points to be thought Of here
first, that fertilizers Of a good grade

pay for the second year.
If this is SO with millet, would it not
be SO with grain seeded with grass and
clover? That millet is a profitable
crop both for soiling and cured Is ap-
parent when even and one-half tons
cured fodder can be secured per acre.
As. millet contains only about 2 per
cent of protein, it should be fed in con-
nection with alfalfa or clover hay. II
these cannot be obtained the ration
should be balanced with such feeds as
oilmeal, cottonseed meal or the better
grades Of gluten feed.

horses through the effect 1t has on
the kidneys. With the hay crop as
light as it has been for two years, as
the dry season has been very hard on
new seeding, 1T will surely pay u
farmers to give more attention to the
millets. Any one Of the different kinds

The ends Of the box are made Of
pieces of 2 by 8 bolted together. A
hole bored in the center Of each end
forms the bearings. The sides Of the
box are made of one inch lumber and
are simply nailed to the ends with
twelvepenny nails. One-half Of the
box is made so that it can be detached
and lifted off when the mixer is to be
filled or emptied. The detachable half
is secured to the other half by NEAR
of strong hooks so placed that by slip
ping this half about an inch to one
side all of the hooks are loosened at
once. After it is in position the re-
movable portion is held in place by
means of a barn door latch.
The driving gear is simple, but very
effective. It consists Of the rim taken
from the wheel of an old rubber tire
buggy. With the tire removed the
grooved rim makes a very satisfactory
wheel upon which to run a three-quar-
ter inch rope belt. The belt is driven
by a small sheave pulley, which is fas-
tened to the countershaft. A belt
tightener Is used upon the rope, n
by using a very loose belt the tight
ener is made to act as a friction clutch.
This particular mixer is driven by a
two horse gasoline engine, which is
belted to the commensurate. The en-
CINE runs continuously, and the mixer
is started and stopped by means Of
the belt tightener.
Many other systems Of driving might
have been used in place of the rope
belt. The main gear Of an old self
binder makes a excellent gear for a
mixer. An old mower gear may also
be put to good use in this connection.
It is not necessary to have the mixer
driven by an engine or horse power. A
crank may be attached and the ma
chine turned by hand. Many prefer
turning such a machine rather than
mixing the concrete with a shovel.

Homemade Device That 10 Useful on

OF interest to farmers I who need
cement for any purpose. such as lay
ing floors or walks or making posts,
is a bulletin issued by the Colorado
experiment station which tells Of mix
ing concrete by machinery and prints
the accompanying illustration Of a
homemade mixer. which is described
thus:
Two pieces of 4 by 6 form the stills.
Upon these two. uprights about three
feet high are fastened. A one and one
half inch pipe passes through holes
bored in the top Of the uprights. Upon
this pipe the mixing box is turned, and
through the pipe the water is added
to the mixture at the desired time.
The water is poured in at the top Of
the upright pipe and flows down and
out through holes which are drilled
in the lower side Of 1t. The other end
Of the pipe is closed by a wooden plug.

. Washington Art Commission,

A Washington Art Commission.
The career Of the special art COM
mission set up under the late admin
istration was. short, but seems to have
borne fruit. Some of its work was crit
icised during a recent debate on the
bill Of Representative Mccall to estab-
lish an art commission for Washing
ton. But the fact that 1t erred once, II
err it did, is 40 reason for condemn
ing the idea. Washington is becoming
more and more the show place Of the
nation, the center Of national tradition
and the repository Of national memo
rails.
Washington is the spot for national
statues. and as they have been liber-
ally scattered there In the past con-
sistency requires that the. work con-
tinue. The national public buildings
are in q way monuments. They should
be models Of architecture, likewise Of
adaptability to purpose. As planned II
the Mccall bill, the art commission
will be composed Of artists and win
have the say about the new public
buildings as well as upon the location
and design Of statues. There is need
Of some competent authority to pass
upon such public works Of art as the
nation may choose to set up In its capi-
tai or elsewhere, for that matter.

POWER FROM BROOK DAM.
Expert Urges Farmers to Store W
Water For Various Uses.

v0S0G uOU vdbuV0O S&00s
BY EDWARD R.. TAYLOR.
Mr.. Farmer, what are you doing
with the brook on your farm? Let:
ting it have its own sweet way III q
hurry (and sometimes in q great hur.
ry) to get its waters into yonder
river? Why not curb it and make
good use Of it as it passes? John T.
Mcdonald of Delhi, N. Y. some ten
years ago began making good use of
his brook-lights his house and build
ings, runs saws and various machines
in a little shop in winter and on rainy
days and has enough power in addf-
ton to heat his house if he fitted up
for it. Why don't you do likewise?
The dam is made from stones and earth
from the nearby fields, costs but little,
securing a pond Of about three acres
which abounds in beautiful trout and
other fish, and from the pond Mr.. Nc
Donald cuts 500 tons Of ice per year
for himself and neighbors.
1t is really the most valuable land
he has. Did you know If you have the
only pond on your stream all the lar
gest fish will make 1t their habitation,
and If you make a spillway in on
nection with your dam large fish from
below will come up and settle in your
pond, and you and your boys and girls
will go fishing there for the profit as
we'll as for the fun Of it? Make a
safe place and teach the children to
swim. Besides, it is stimulating and
grateful in summer weather.
I almost think you are really inter-
ested, and perhaps r thinking now
where you have the best site for the
dam. Begin the work by laying down
sewer pipe two or more feet in diam
eter and twenty, thirty or more feet
long, according to the size Of embank-
ment you must build. This car be in
the bed of the stream, diverting the
water for the time by a little dam
above. On the upstream end Of this
pipe build a square box of plank as
high as you wish the water to be in
the pond. 1t will take away lots of
water safely in floods. Near its bot
tom on the upstream side fix a gate
Of plank which you can open to
drain the pond in summer for repairs.
If you put a grating made. say, of
old strips of wagon. tire in front of
the gate it will keep back all the fish
that are too large to go through. This
all done in good shape, you can let
the water run through the pipe while
you are building your dam proper.
At the right Of the spillway of
Charles NJ. Calls dam near my home
is a square box connecting with the

way is thirty-two feet wide, and the
piers each side stand about four feet
above. having been raised about two
feet for safety after Mr.. Call had
seen the water almost get over his
bank the previous spring. Too much
care cannot be taken in having ample
and safe spillway to take all the water
that can possibly come down. With
such adequate spillways dirt dams are
about the best and cheapest a farmer
con construct, as almost all the work
can be done by his own teams and
scraper. Below the spillway on the
lower side Of the dam is a good place
to dump stones If you have them on
the farm; If not and the bottom is
not Of hard material you must finish

PRESERVING FERNS IN WINTER
They Should Be Placed Where They
Get Diffused Light.

Get OItTuSeo Il9nt.
Although ferns are greatly admired
for indoor decorations, the plants are
in general singularly unfortunate in
the treatment they receive at the
hands of their owners. It being well
understood that most varieties thrive
better when not exposed to strong
sunshine. they are. usually relegated
to any shady and cold position that
may be otherwise unoccupied in the
house. This method Of dealing with
the plants invariably ends in disap-
pointment. Although it is true that
ferns do not like the direct rays Of the
sun continually upon them, yet a GER
tain amount Of light is necessary for
their development, and instead OF
standing them in corners and other
unfavorable places 1t is far better to
give them the full benefit Of a window
"a northern aspect will door, at any
rate, they should be placed where they
get ample diffused light.
Another frequent cause Of failure
In ferns is the semi.starvation to
which they are subjected. The idea
is very prevalent that they do not re-
quire manure, and in consequence any
poor soil which comes to hand Is used
for potting them up. Certainly a son

CITY MEN FOR FARMS.

If They Had Chance.

Many Would Make Good Hired Hands
If They Had Chance.
Many farmers throughout the coun-
try find it a difficult matter to get
hired hands, while in the great cities
there are thousands Of men out Of
work. The problem of inducing some
Of the down and outs of city life to go
out on the farms is claiming the atten-
ton Of social students.
A commission Of the New York leg
islature recently has been making an
inquiry into the matter. though it has
not taken up the subject exclusively.
John Mitchell, the noted labor leader,
was present at one Of the sessions and
made suggestions.
The chief trouble seems to be that
those in the cities who r always
deep in poverty know nothing Of coun-
try life, seldom IL eve having seen
the green fields. They were born to
their conditions and know nothing
else.
Thousands of these men, no doubt,
If they should be taken out and given
Jobs on farms would return to the city
as soon as they earned money enough.
That is because the city sights and
sounds have become second nature to
them. They would pine for the filth
and furore Of their native element.
But, on the other hand, there is no
doubt that many men in the cities
would welcome a chance to get away
to the country. for themselves and
their families and would develop into
excellent farm hands. The problem is
to put these men in touch with farm
ers who need them.
