What War MOUeS Mean
By ]. W. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE capture
Of General De Wet probably Will
bring the South African rebellion 70
an end and will relieve British troops
for operations against German East.
and West Africa
The open activity of the rebels has
not assumed serious Importance at
any time. The chief fear of the
British authorities has been that if
the leaders of the instruction were
not speedily caught, moral effect
would have been produced on the
Beers generally, and unrest might
continue until the end of the war.
Colonel Maritz, who led the initial
mutiny, is out of action because OF
wounds and General De Wet is
prisoner. These two were the chief
inspirers OF the instruction. Their
removal from the field, after so rapid
2 campaign. probably will have a
decisive effect on unruly Beers, who
are extremely careful of their own
skins.
De Vets capture raises a serious
problem for the British in South
Africa BY every rule of war, this
soldier who mutinied while the en-
cmy was attacking his country,
should be shot
The affair, however, has an ex-
tenuating circumstance. De Wet
vas one Of the chief leaders OF the
Beers in their war against England,
and fought to preserve his country's
Importance. He may claim his pres
cnt revolt was not for the purpose OF
helping Germany. but that he want
cd to restore South Africa to its for
rrer freedom.
Whether this view of the case will

Il the loyal Roers. Is the. press
clamors strongly for a termSSf i'm
pfisonment instead Of execution for
their old leader, doubtless executive
clemency will be exercised
With the BOeT revolt well in hand,
South African troops are now re-
leased for operations against the
Germans. To the present time, the off
lcultios created by the Beers have

so seriously hampered the British
campaign against German East AZ
RIGA and West Africa that the small
police force in those territories has
been able to preserve German SOW
ereignty almost intact.
Germany's colonial possessions will
be England's only territorial gain
from the war, if the allies win.
Particularly does England want Ger
man East Africa, so that her Cape
to-Cairo railway, which is to run
along the whole eastern side of the
continent, can pass everywhere
through British territory. For this
reason. a movement of British troops
upon German East Africa probably
will be the first undertaking after
the South African administration is
sure the Boer revolt will not break
out again.
1t is possible that the early sub
jugation of the Boer mutiny will
keep Portugal out of the war. Eng
land doesn't want Portuguese to
fight her battles except as a last re-
sort. for besides the question of
prestige involved, there is the mat
ter Of territorial remuneration.

VRYBURG, South Africa, Dec.
4.-Gen. Christian De Wet,
the backbone of the South
African rebellion, who was
captured on a farm at Water
burg, in British Bechuana-
land, has been brought here
under a strong guard. He
surrendered finally without
the firing of a single shot.
A motorcar brigade pursued him
relentlessly through sandy
and undulating country, thick
ly wooded.
De Wet zigzagged and doubled
over his course in an en-
deavor to throw off his pur-
suers, but the dying, over
ridden horses he was obliged
to abandon in his flight blazed
the way FOR the men of Gen.
eral Botha, who were hunting
him down.

PROPER FEED FOR
LAMBS PAYS we'll
Sudden Change in Ration Gre
ates Dietetic Disorders and
Consequent Loss Of Life.

(By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College.)
A small percentage of loss in lambs
in the feed lot is to be expected, but
this loss in some instances is far
greater than it should be. When range
lambs are placed on a %fattening ration
the change of feed is SO sudden that
dietic disturbances a general
disorder and several dead sheep are
found in the pens each morning. This
invariably leads to the suspicion that
they are dying of some infectious dis
ease.
In some cases the ration is not we'll
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions Of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only a nominal loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw, ensil-
age, ETC., must be made gradually and
herein lies the secret of the heavy
losses of lambs in the feed lots in
the early fall. The desire to get the
lambs on a fattening ration as early
as possible and failing to appreciate
the danger of too heavy feeding and
change of ration has helped to make
lamb feeding an u%nprofitable business
in some instances. A sudden change
of feed or, overlooking must be guard
ed against in the domestic animals, es-
pecially is this true with the horse and
sheep.

PRACTICAL HINTS
AROUND THE FARM
Ration for Idle Horses Should Be
Reduced-Get Cows Into
Good Condition.

A Pennsylvania man had a fine
young horse die from nothing in the
world but overlooking when not in
work. If he had cut the ration down
to one-half while the animal was stand
ing In the stable idle, it would not
have had a%zoturia, a disease that is
almost always fatal.
When your horses take cold, a few
drops Of oil of tar dropped into the
feed will do a lot Of good.
When you put the horse in the sta
Bile, wet from hard work or driving
on the road, rub down first with dry
straw, then put on a light blanket,
later following with a heavier one. A
horse cared for that way will rarely
take cold.
Scrape the snow and litter off your
shoes before boing into the house.
Your wife is an awfuIly good woman.
Of course, but she often feels tired
when you come in bringing a load Of
perfumery on your shoes and sit down
at the kitchen fire and perhaps in the
nice clean sitting room. Be thought
full Of these things.
II your cows come through skin
poor, it will take you several weeks
after they go to grass to get them up
in condition to do good work. That
will cost you a good deal more than
it will now to give them plenty OF
good feed to bring them up into good
condition.
A good sled is a nice thing to draw
manure out on If you do not own a ma
nure s%preader. Have it about ten
feet long, made of good strong stuff
and furnished with a good bottom and
sideboards. BY putting the manure
on day by day as made, you can keep
your yard clean all winter through,
and in the bargain have your manure
all drawn out when spring comes.
Water runs down hill. Think OF
this If you draw manure in winter.
II you spread it on the side of a hill
when the snow comes, it will carry
off a good share Of the goodness OF
your fertilizer in the spring. You
can't afford that. II you can, few OF
US can.

No known domestic fowl antedates
the goose. The wandering tribes OF
Israel used geese freely for food. AT
the beginning OF the Christian era
geese were plentiful in all localities.
Caesar found geese in Britain when
he landed there. Before the Ameri-
can turkey became the favorite Of the
banquet hall the boar's head and the
goose held first place. Trussed and
decorated they made a striking ap
pearance and as a meat course they
were superior to anything known be-
fore the time of the toothsome tur-
key.
During recent years geese have not
been popular for state dinners, though
they have never been more popular
than now among the people at large.
1t is no uncommon sight to see as
many as 10000 geese in the fatten-
ing yards near Boston. A familiar
picture shows a goose train made
up OF many carloads Of geese on its
way from the lowlands of Russia to
the markets of ST. Petersburg and
Berlin. In these markets the fowls
are fattened and distributed to ada
cent territory.
