crate ceremony. Mile. Ferdinande de
Lesseps struck the first blow OF pick
ak at the point where the canal was to
enter the Pacific, each of the party fol.
lowed with q blow, and there was .
vast quantity OF applause and cham.
payne.
From the very first the French com.
pany was beset with troubles. AS tho
canal was not q government under
taking the work had to be let out to
contractors. and many Of these prov.
ed to be dishonest. They would, take
out the soft dirt, collect the stipulat-
ed price per cubic yard, and then go
into bankruptcy. At Bogota the poll
ticians not only exacted the usual
blackmail, but annoyed the company
with all manner Of litigation, the ma
tive courts invariably ruling against
the French. Worst Of all, perhaps,
were the yellow fever and malaria,
which killed OF the engineers and
laborers by the thousand. In the last
three months Of 1884 the death rate
per thousand was nearly 100. and In
September 1885, It reached 1867.
Sanitary science had not yet learned
how to cope with these diseases, and
there Is every reason to believe that
their ravages alone would have been
enough to insure the failure Of de
Lesseps' enterprise, without the gross
extravaganza and the dishonesty that
characterized the work.
THE crash came in 1885," says Mr..
Edwards. After eight years Of as
brave a fight as man had ever made
against nature, the bubble burst. 1t is
estimated that stock had been issued
to the value Of two hundred and fifty
million dollars. It is doubtful II half
this sum ever got near enough to
Panama to be expended on actual
work. Most of this paper was held by
French peasants and people Of mod
crate means. They had been led into
1t by the great name Of de Lesseps.
You may be sure that none Of the orig.
inal promoters were caught with stock

Many government officials were In

died a few years later in an asylum.
The company went into the hands OF
a receiver who organized the New
French Canal company, and this con-
Germ sold all its rights and property
to the United States In 1909. Many
Of its buildings, ranging in size from
de Lesseps' palace in Cristobal to
houses for laborers, were found worth
preserving and have been used by the
Americans. The hospital buildings at
Ancon and Colon were nearly all erect
ed by the French.
When Uncle Sam took hold Of the
canal work, the jungle all along the
route across the isthmus was found
full Of expensive machinery abandoned
10 the ravages Of rust and decay. Much
of this was recovered and used In the
earlier years Of the American regime.
and even now French dredges and 10
comotives may be seen at work there.
Nearly all the old French equipment.
however, has been sold to a Chicago
wrecking concern which has been pill

Lazy hens. like lazy men. are not

II is important TO keep the poultry
houses scrupulously clean
See that the dairy cows get all the
salt they need these days.
II is not the quantity OF food that
brings results. but the quality
Alfalfa hay is about the best rough
age that can be given the COW.
Let the colt have shelter from storm.
but let him have access to pasture
also.
Too much scientific work in the hen
business is failure. Just use common
sense
Give the ewes daily exercise and
fresh air, but do not expose them to
storms.
Overcrowding is one OF the worst
and most frequent mistakes made by
poultrymen,
Selling too young and feeding too
long are the two wrong ends Of the
hog business.
Trees that are making rapid
growth OF wood do not generally
bear much fruit.
Ducklings grow twice as rapidly as
chickens. and so require more food for
the first few weeks.
The Hollanders have evolved the
great milk breeds by working with
and not against nature.
Eggs ought to weigh a pound and
a half to the dozen or fifty.f1ve pounds
net to the thirty dozen eggs
Where possible, little grazing at
night will help the cows keep up the
milk flow at this time Of year.
The hens should be allowed any
kind Of food that is needed as an in
centive to greater egg production.
It's more feed" than 1t is breed"
but without the latter as foundation
the former becomes wasteful exercise.
A liberal amount Of forage crops

A COW must furnish $50 pounds OF
butter fat before she has paid her
bills. After that. what she gives Is
profit.
A good grain mixture for chicks is
two parts cracked corn. two parts
cracked wheat. two parts kafir and one
part millet.
Experiments have shown that the
greatest gains in fattening are made
BY young stock when two to four
months old.
II Is poor policy to change the
quarters Of hens or pullets while lay
ing for It usually checks or stops
egg production.
All clover is rich in protein or mus
Gle forming food. and It Is one Of the
best kind of foods for growing pigs
and for brood sows.
Western dairymen are finding out
that cowpeas are almost equal to clio
YER or alfalfa as a dairy ration and
are a much surer crop.
Diversified farming Is the safest.
different soils require different crops.
and upon all farms rotation is essen
tial to profitable production.
One Of the latest inventions for
aerating milk is the air pump. II
would seem that this is sure to find a
valuable place in dairy work.
One point in favor Of green man
uring is that It distributes the fer
tility through the soil more evenly
than can be done in any other way.
After maturity an animal gains
in fat only and so makes less gain
in proportion to the food consumed
and consequently less profit to the
feeder.
