festo published on August l6 by the Society for Peace" advocating the restoration of the monarchy, and sign cd by Yang Tu, head of the Hankow development plan, and other promi- nent supporters of Yuan Shi-kai, is generally regarded by Chinese of all parties as a feeler thrown out to de- termine how the public would accept the idea of an emperor. In some high quarters, both Chinese and foreign, 1t is believed that if no revolution or danger of revolution develops, Yuan shikai will worship heaven as the Emperor of China before another year
 For months previous to the ap- ] pearance of the above mentioned manifesto there had been a quiet campaign conducted in Picking and other cities for the establishment of monarchy The manifesto itself, as translated from the Chinese by the Picking Gazette, reads as follows:

three great governmental activities; the de-
velopment of our agriculture by better farm
banking facilities, the higher education of
our youth, and the building of our roads for

measures | will use the best efforts of which

The creation and maintenance of good
roads in this country will result in the saw

people. It is estimated that it costs the
farmer to move produce in France, where
they have good roads, only about nine cents
per ton per mile. In this country, where we
have bad roads, it costs twenty-three cents
per ton per mile. When we realize the num-
Der OF tons OF produce transported every
year, it can be easily seen that these figures
would make the saving enormous if we but
had good roads. | congratulate the people

MAKE PROFITS WITH STEERS
Animals Must Have Good Beef Char acteristics, Wide, Strong Back
 and Large Heart Girth.

How to select steers that will make good gains and return substantial profits should be we'll known by the man who plans to market his crops as feed this fall or winter.
 John l.. Torney of the University of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment station, is urging cattle feeders to look for the following characteristics in animals which they intend to finish for the market:
 Steers, if they are to make profit able gains in the feed lot. must have beef characteristics, wide, strong back. and large heart girth.
 They must have a strong frame and plenty of room for the vital organs, for an animal with weak constitu- tion can not hold up through the feeding season
 "A wide head and muzzle, which us- ually indicate good feeding qualities.
 Short legs, heavy hindquarters, and arched ribs are essential in the feeding animal.
 The skin should be reasonably thick. soft. and covered by a heavy coat of hair.
 The animal should have a straight back and low set appearance. due to the depth of body and short legs"

METHOD FOR DOCKING LAMBS
Operation Should Be Performed When Youngsters Are About Ten Days
 Old-Short Tail Desired.

Docking should be done when the lambs are about ten days old. The easiest method is to place the lamb between the operators legs, it's rear end in front of him. The operator lifts the tail and with heavy knife pushes the skin half way on the underside of the third vertebra back to it's junc- ture with the second. Then with a sharp cut he sewers the tail at this point Many shepherds leave the tail one vertebra longer, but short tail is greatly to be desired since it can not collect so much manure.
 Very seldom, if the lamb is docked early, will there be sufficient bleeding to cause any material harm. If pro- fuse bleeding does occur, cord should be tied very tightly around the stump of the tail. Pincers heated to high temperature, may also be used for this purpose, and by many are preferred The tail is severed by closing them upon it. The stump is scared or burned, which completely prevents bleeding. However, a burn will not heal so quickly as clean cut, and in the former condition suppuration or the formation of pus underneath the scab may occur.
 Of course. there is a greater liabil- ity of dangerous infection where the knife, without cauterization, is used, since the scared surface tends to pre- vent the entrance of bacteria. Infec- tion, however, can De avoided by the maintenance of cleanly and sanitary surroundings. The pincers can satis- factorily be adopted for docking lambs several weeks old. when the contin- gency of bleeding is more likely.

 Our adversary. perhaps, can obtain a few supplies from Turkey and Asia Minor. l cherish no illusions, for as long as there are neutrals complete blockade must be chimera. But while you and we breathe freely, thanks to the sea, we have kept and can keep open. Germany is like a man throttled with heavy gag.
