n 90 30 il''u O"l01y "u
- journed when an army of
twenty thousand m n
was assembled on the Mexi-
can border for what exact pur-
pose the administration has
not said. During the session
representative orators were
slurring the army and magni-
flying our defenseless condi-
ton. It was given out that
Japan could land quarter of
million of soldiers on the Pa
cifc coast before we could get
ten thousand there. Well, in
less than a week we have as
sembled a completely equipped
army of twenty thousand men
more than half way on it's
journey to the Pacific slope,
and there is no doubt that
with the lines of railroad at
our disposal we can in two
weeks or less time place forty
thousand men in a position to
defend the three of four SEN
sitive points of attack on our
western litoral.
The prevailing opinion at
present is that the military
demonstration of the + 10
Grande is for a purpose some
what similar to that which
precipitated the war with
Spain. We can no more toll
crate the perpetuation of geu-
rilla war in one Spanish coun-
try than in another on our
borders. The benign despot-
ism that has for twenty-five
years OF more masqueraded
as a republic in Mexico and
which has depended on one
man cannot IN the natural
order much longer depend.
Diaz's strong hand has plainly
lost its grip. The central gov
ernment is nerveless. Mexi-
CO is nearer to us than Cuba,
as near to us, in fact as Can
ada. We have interests in
that country amounting to
nearly two billiondollars. The
Rio Grand is a good place
stragetically for the army.
The time must come when
we will be able to send an
army from Laredo, Eagles
Pass or FL Paso by train di-
rect to the ribbon strip that
we own at Panama. Call it
manifest Destiny or what
you will, there is no getting

America, including Canada
with Great Britain behind her,

POULTRY NOTES.

Be sure there are no bad drafts in
the henhouse.
Leaky roofs should be repaired be-
fore fall work begins.
Give the hen the proper material
and she will lay all right.
Some form of dry animal food is q
satisfactory food for egg production.
Though fowls are primarily grain
eaters, they desire meat food In some
form.
Turkeys are insect hunters, ducks
are grazers, and chickens are grain
eaters.
Learn to handle from 80 to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
that can be used.
1t is the little details that make the
difference between success and failure
in poultry raising.
The presence Of cOckerel with
hens has little effect upon the number
and quality of eggs.
Oil meal Is high in protein content
and is most valuable in the fall when
melting Is in process.
If given whole grain, for which they
must scratch among the straw, hens
get necessary exercise
1t may be truthfully said that under
the same conditions, eggs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do something toward bal
ancing their own rations, and they
will take more or less exercise If they
have the chance.
Thousands Of farmers market their
milk and cream daily; and an appeal
is made to them to market the eggs
produced daily also.
The quality which is most desirable
in milk and cream for immediate con.
sumption Is sweetness. In eggs, the
corresponding quality is freshness.
Keep fresh water. grit, oyster shell
and charcoal before the chicks all the
time, cut grass If they are shut in a
small run, dry wheat bran and finely
ground beef scraps.

SAVE MONEY ON STOCKINGS
Wonders Of Economy During

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
10 Matter on Which There 10 Not Per
feet Aqreement-SoIl Conditions
Materially Influence.

The depth to which corn may be cuL
tivated, especially in dry areas. is a
matter on which there is not perfect
agreement Soil conditions materially
influence this question. Usually shall
low cultivation only is recommended
and as rule such cultivation Is cor"
rect, but there are some exceptions.
says the Dakota Farmer. One difficult
ty is to know exactly when the excep-
lions occur.
One exception is found in soils that
are much Prone to settle too adhes-
lively, az for instance stiff clays. In
these 1t may be necessary or at least
advantageous to cultivate somewhat
deeply the first cultivation that Is
given. This, however, will depend
somewhat on the size Of the corn when
the first cultivation is given. II the
corn has reached say foot high be-
fore such cultivation is given, some
caution must be used about going down
deeply, as the lateral roots of the
corn will have pushed out far from
the plants and not far from the sur
face. II the first cultivation given Is
deep, then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception is found In that
condition Of soil which not infre.
quently occurs in the west when a
crust forms below the line of the shall
low cultivation. This crust may be
lower than some of the lateral roots
hv{p will ho
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
eral roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. The
best authorities favor the breaking up
of the crust, and doubtless they are
right. This can only be done by send
ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought.
There Is also difference OF opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. 1t
would seem safe to say that 1t should
usually continue longer than is the
case In the 0,erage experience OF the
farmer. But after the crop gets high
the work of cultivation becomes more
costly, as 1t has to be done with one
horse cultivator. When thus man.
aged, 1t may be continued until the
forming of the ears.
The objects sought in such late cul-
tivation are twO-fOld. The first object
Is to maintain the covering OF loose
earth so as to prevent evaporation,
and the second Is to destroy weeds
that would otherwise mature. Wild
oats, for instance, may terminate af-
ter the usual time for maturing seed
ceases, and the same is true OF mus
tard. A corn crop will not result In
all the benefit that may result from
growing it, unless 1t is kept perfectly
clean.

ly: IF a man wants to learn about
horses he must learn from horses" A
man to be successful must be with
horses and be close observer of their
moods, manners and makeup. A colt
should be trained from the first mo-
ment he is helped to his feet. If
taught to yield early to mans re-

SAVED BY TR0USER BUTTON
Alpine Guide Finds Tiny Article In
Rock Cleft and Lost Climbers

. The Alpine guide has practically
no knowledge of the use Of map and

of lives would have been saved on
Mont Blanc alone had such simple
aid been appreciated. The profes-
sional prefers to rely on his powers
of observation and that peculiar in.
stinct sometimes aptly described as
the bump of locality. He is alert to
detect the slightest traces of pre-
decessors. A party of US were once
befogged and had lost all idea of our
position on the complicated westerly
face Of the Riffelhorn. A young
guide was with us, and he became so
dangerously disconsolate and help
less that one of the amateurs had to
take the lead. For some hours We
fought with severe difficulties, dis
couraged meanwhile by our compan-
ions prophecy Of certain disaster.

lose her only support. Things were
