CALI protesting the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner set
up than it is undermined and its au-
thority denied by those VINO are ex-
pected to support it.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution Of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And she has been swept by
civil war as if by fire. Her crops are
destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her
work cattle are confscated for the use
of the armed factions, her people fee
to the mountains to escape being
drawn into unavailing bloodshed and
no man seems to see or lead the way
to peace and settled order. There is
no proper protection either for her
own citizens or for the citizens of
other nations resident, and at work
within her territory. Mexico is starv-
ing and without a government.
''In these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
can not stand indiferently by and do
nothing to serve their neignbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mex
leo. Least Of all do they desire to
settle her affairs for her, or claim any
right to do so. But neither do they
wish to see utter ruin come upon het
and they deem it their duty as friends
and neighbors to lend any aid they
properly can to any instrumentality
which promises to be effective in
bringing about a settlement which will
embody the real objects of the revo-
lution-constitutional government and
the rights Of the people. Patriotic
Mexicans are sick at heart and cry
out for peace and for every self-sac-
rifce that may be necessary to pro-
cure it. Their people cry out for food
and will presently hate as much as
thye fear every man, in their country
or out of it, who stands between them
and their daily bread,
"It is time, therefore, that the gov
eminent of the United States should
frankly state the policy which in these
extraordinary circumstances it be-

In South American circles it was
declared today's statement was al
logical deevlopmnt of the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls when the
United States, with Argentina, Brazil
and Chile, signed protocol agreeing
to recognize the government set up
by agreement of the factions.
The statement started a variety Of
speculations as to what the American
government meant by lending "its ac-
tive moral support to some man or
group of men, if such may be found,
in an effort to ignore, if they can not
unite, the warring factions of the
country"
In high Official quarters, it was ex-
planned that the United States hitherto
had maintained neutrality as between
the factions, but now was preparing
70 choose between them or to give its
support to those elements in the exist /
ing factions which gave most promise
of success. An embargo on arms and
the cutting off of other means of sup
port in the United States would be
put into operation to assist the chosen
elements as against those which ig-
nored the American governments de-
mand for peace.

While details of the governments

"A great sensation was caused when
the body was discovered. The squad
ron was lying off Naples about week
after the Iris had left, and while we
were there the body was washed UP

highest Russian officials. who had, il

fore, concluded that his death had
been due to nihilist vengeance.

cousin living at Durham. Yet his
manner towards me was now most

obtain my money by marrying me to
his son Michael, whose evil reputa
ton as a gambler was well known IN

land in the autumn, and in the winter
he took me to stay with his sister in

GOOD POINTS IN MAKEUP OF BROOD sow
Feeding, But Not FattenIng.

weaned the sows should be culled and
those that are cross or nervous or
have produced small filters or are
inclined to be poor suckers, should
be discarded.
Good sows improve for several
years in the number and size of the
pigs they have at litter. The United
States department of agriculture COM
piled the records of over six thousand
sows and found yearling sows aver
aged 6.65 pigs per litter, and five-year-
old sows averaged 81 pigs per litter.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the year-old sows averaged rs pigs
per litter, with an average weight per
litter of 142 pounds, while sows FROM
four to five years old averaged nine
pigs per litter with an average weight
per litter of &c pounds. The commonI
practice Of farmers selling their old
brood sows each year and reservfngi
immature ones for breeding is a bad
practice, as the older sows are much,
better mothers and their pigs have a.
strong advantage in greater vitality,
at the start.

writer ever handled had a choice lit.

How to Apply Liquid.

Growers who wish to prevent seri-l
Gus loss from smut will find the for-l
malin treatment wholly effective andi

of formalin, which should be bought
in sealed bottles to insure full
strength, to forty gallons of water.
Mix thoroughly and apply to thel
seed oats at once. Spread the grain
on floor, or in the bottom of al
wagon-bed. Use a common gardenl
sprinkler to put on the solution andI
sprinkle until wet, mix the grain with
a shovel and sprinkle again. Every
grain must be thoroughly wet with
some of the mixture or the smut wilt
not be killed.
After sprinkling, put the grain in a.

SAVE ALL OF GOOD
BREEDING ANIMALS
Desirable Pigs, Lambs, Calves
and Colts Should Receive
Best of Attention.

The Importance of saving all of the
breeding animals that would make de-
sirable sires and dams will certainly
be apparent to those who think of the
subject seriously. There seems to be
strong demand for breeding animals
to place at the head of herds. Many
who have never given animals place
or their farms are now beginning
herds or wish to get breeding stock
for the purpose of making beginning
with animals. Let every man who has
desirable pigs. lambs, calves and colts
take care of the animals so they may
be of use to the people who need
them.
The man who raises breeding stock
for those who need them deserves
credit. He is making it possible for
his neighbors to raise better stock.
By his diligence in breeding live stock
he helps his neighbors and is making
it possible for farms to produce more
wealth.
Every breeder who has animals that
are desirable for breeders owes it to
his neighbors and friends as well as
to the country to advertise his animals
so others who need breeding stock
may buy. Poor animals should not be
used and it is useless to advertise
them. Successful breeders recognize
this and Gull out the undesirable and
offer only those that are valuable for
breeders. Every registered animal is
not suitable for breeding stock. Many
are not. These undesirables should be
slaughtered. 1t takes more than regis
tration papers to make a desirable
sire or dam. The animals must have
type and conformation, with pure
blood.-Farm and Ranch.
