FARM NOTES.
— Boiled oats are recommended for mak-
ing hens lay.
—Rye is not recommended for hens.
Unless very hungry they will not eat it.
—The man who permits geese to roost in
a barn does not care much for cleanliness.
—Pure drinking water and clear yards
will do a great deal toward preventing
gapes.
—One ounce of ground hone to each
fowl, every third day, is what our poultry-
man feeds.
—The late hatched chickens should be
fattened for the table, for they will be
worthless for laying or breeding stock.
—A full feed of corn, all they will eat,
just before going to roost, will fill the
gizzards of the fowls and aid in maintain-
ing animal heat.
— Among farm animals none are so dainty
in their likes and dislikes as sheep, and to
successfully raise them these traits must
be closely observed. Sheep will not touch
fodder of any kind that has been nosed by
other stock, nor will they eat grains that
are musty, dusty or through which rats
have been in the habit of running. Pure
water is also one of their requirements,
and they will frequently starve themselves
sick rather than drink water not perfectly
clean. Sheep are dainty animals, and seem
to have not only a dislike for mud, but an
actual dread of it. With these character-
istics to combat it will be readily seen that
it would be useless to attempt raising sheep
unless one is willing to provide clean and
comfortable quarters, pure water and sweet,
clean food.
—Geese usually begin to lay in March,
the eggs requiring four weeks for incuba-
tion. They readily become fat, hence care
must be exercised in feeding, or the eggs
will fail to hatch. They can secure their
subsistence unaided if they have a good
grass run. The only food they require is a
mess of cooked potatoes or turnips, given
at night, thickening the mess with ground
meat and bran. Goslings may be fed on
the same food, but should be allowed three
meals per day. Keep water in troughs for
them, and have it lukewarm, if possible,
for if too cold the goslings may have cramps.
They should not go on ponds until well
feathered, as they may become chilled and
perish if the water is cold. At night have
them under a shed, using straw or some
other litter as bedding. When the goslings
are well feathered they will need no further
assistance. It is better to hatch them with
geese than with hens, though a goose may
lay enough eggs to allow some tobe in-
cubated by hens.
—A firm of pork packers in Toronto say
they would like to buy 100,000 hogs a year
for the export market. They want lean
meat hogs and pay 62% cents a hundred
more for the heavy lean meat pig than for
the merely fat one. They divide the pork
into No. 1 and No. 2 bacon, according as it
is lean or fat. The fat is classed as No. 2
and commands only the second rate price.
For the heavy lean meat hogs they pay
$5.12} per hundred live weignt. Canadian
pork packers understand better what is
wanted for the European market than
Americans do, because they have made a
point of catering especially for it. Amer-
ican packers and hog raisers may therefore
gather useful points from them.
The select lean meat hog is the one now
wanted for the export trade. It is also
coming to be preferred at home. It is
the fat of pork that is not easily
digestible and that used to be supposed
to contain the scrofula germ.
Under no circumstances allow your live
stock of any kind to drink stagnant water.
It is enough to poison you and your whole
family in case of milk cows or of animals
used for food, and enough to kill horses.
—The poultry yard. It is very difficult
to select a breed which will answer all the
requirements of the farmer. The customer
who buys poultry and eggs must be con-
sidered in the matter. The American peo-
ple have a partiality for fowls with yellow
skin and legs, but such fowls are not al-
ways the best for the table. There is the
Langshan, a hardy fowl, flesh of excellent
quality, and the hens good layers, but it is
black in plumage, and when dressed for
market extra care is required to remove
the pin feathers. It also has dark legs,
which is a strong objection. Yet the Lang-
shan, although superior to the Plymouth
Rock for the table, does not hold as high a
place as the latter in the affections of farm-
ers and poultrymen ; its dark legs almost
disqualifying it on the market stalls.
When the inquiry is made, therefore, of
‘which is the best breed for market,”
there will be found many details to con-
sider. The best breed is the one that the
customers prefer, as prices depend on pref-
erences, and it may be added that there is
not a breed of fowls in existence possessing
desirable characteristics to which some ob-
jection cannot be made, and that is why
there is no ‘‘best breed.”’
—Most of the difficulties in growing
valuable cows, where the breeding has been
what it should be, come from their feed-
ing. It is hard to say whether the fatten-
ing or the starvation policy is worse for the
future of the cow. By the first she is made
fit only for the butcher. By the second
the animal is stunted and its digestion im-
paired so that it is little good for any pur-
pose. There should be an abundance of
food, and a good share of this should be
succulent, so as to furnish nutrition in
bulky form and stimulate the glands that
carry the milk. All the large milk-pro-
ducing breed of - cows have originated in
mild and moist climates, where succulent
feed can be had during most of the year.
Ensilage is good feed for heifers, though if
it be of corn fodder some dry clover hay
should be fed with it to increase the ma-
terial for growth. If clover cannot be had
a small ration of wheat bran mixed with
the corn ensilage will make a better feed
than ensilage alone.
We believe in breeding heifers early, and
at the same time feed liberally of food that
will make growth rather than fatten. If a
heifer drops her first calf when sheis a
year and a half old she will always bea
better milker than if she were kept from
breeding until a year later. If the heifer
is too small let there be a long time be-
tween the first and second breeding, and in
the meantime feed more liberally than
ever, but not with corn. Some oats may,
however, be given, if the milk production
is large enough to keep the heifer thin in
flesh, but the grain feeding should be stop-
ped when the heifer dries off as she ap-
proaches her second parturition. Heifers
thus managed will be about as large as if
they were kept until they were past two
years old before being bred, and they will
all their lives be much better milkers.
General Gomez Speaks.
Sympathizes With the United States Over the
Maine's Loss.—Cautious in His Expressions.—
Can Express No Opinion on the Belief in Cuba
That Spaniards Destroyed the Ship, But 8ug-
gests Spain's Record,—Cuba Needs no Outside
Help. .
General Maximo Gomez was seen not long
ago at his camp on the estate La Demaja-
gua, on the west side of the Jucaro-Moren
trocha, by a special messenger, who took
to him the first news of the catastrophe of
the Maine in Havana harbor. The Cuban
commander-in-chief had a force of only 800
cavalry, but two miles west of his camp
was brigadier-general Jose Gonzalez with
1,500 men of all arms ready to repel any
Spanish attack upon General Gomez.
A few days two important engagements
were fought at La Demajagua, in which
the Spaniards were utterly defeated in their
attempt to surprise general Gomez’s camp.
The great Cuban leader, after having re-
mained for some time on the estate, was
just preparing to remove his camp further
west to join the forces of Gonzalez when
the messenger reached him. Such a move
is characteristic of general Gomez's tactics.
Knowing that the Spaniards would un-
doubtedly attack him again with stronger
forces, he goes to meet them half way, thus
destroying their pre-arranged plans for an
assault on his camp and surprising the
Spanish commander.
‘When the messenger delivered the letter
to general Gomez from the Cuban agent in
Sancti Spiritus, giving him a detailed ac-
count of the disaster of the Maine and of
the expected international complications
between Spain and the United States, the
grim old veteran seemed astounded. He
had already been informed by communica-
tions from president Maso and General Ca-
lixto Garcia of the strained relations be-
tween Spain and America on account of the
Cuba war and of the fact that Spain, either
directly or indirectly, had been notified of
the determination of the United States to
intervene after public evidence of the com-
plete failure of autonomy ; but he had not
the least idea of the Maine disaster at
Havana. The communication of the
Cuban agent also emphatically expressed
the belief that the American battleship
was blown up by the Spaniards. A
letter from Havana was included in which
a Cuban lady, a relative of one of
the most important insurgent leaders in
Havana province, gave an account of a plot
against the Maine concocted some days be-
fore the explosion by several well known
Havana Weylerists.
General Gomez twice read the startling
communications, and read them very slow-
ly, and also the clippings from the Havana
newspapers sent to him by the agent.
Then he dismissed the messenger with the
direction that he return to his tent after
two hours for his answer.
The messenger has just come back from
General Gomez’s camp and the Cuban rep-
resentative in Sancti Spiritus has given the
following extracts of General Gomez's let-
ter to The Sun’s correspondent, refusing to
permit him to translate the whole docu-
ment, because it contains some matters not
relating to the Maine affair and of an en-
tirely secret nature.
“J shall not venture an opinion yet,”
says General Gomez, ‘‘as to the causes of
the horrible disaster, and Iam the more re-
strained if my words are to bg published in
the United States, as generally happens
with my letters. I can only express at
present my deep horror in the face of this
awful calamity, and my profound sympa-
thy for the victims and the American peo-
le.
“But I am not surprised at the general
belief in Cuba that a new crime has heen
committed by Spain. We know too well
what Spain is capable of doing to destroy a
foe. Our ranks have been deprived of great
leaders and patriots, murdered in the most
cowardly manner by the cruel hate of the
Spaniards. Personally I feel that I am
just as liable to be struck down in the dark
with a Spanish stiletto in my back as I am
to be hit in battle by a Spanish bullet.
‘A people capable of sending to Cuba as
captain general at the end of the nineteenth
century such a man as Weyler, and of hon-
oring him after his criminal deeds as a na-
tional hero, is capable of anything. It
would not shrink from the idea of massa-
creeing 200 American sailors in the harbor
of Havana, after it had killed by starvation
200,000 defenseless women, children and
old men, and had exterminated 400,000
more non-combatants by fire and sword or
by the utter destruction of their homes and
the inhuman spreading of famine. More
even than that, it cannot have any pity for
the fate of 100 American sailors, regarded
by Spain with or without reason, as her
enemies, when it has had no pity for its
own 200,000 soldiers, poor and ignorant
Spanish peasants, driven from their homes
in Spain by a proud, rapacious and mur-
derous government, and sent to certain
death in Cuba from the bullets of a hostile
army and the ravages of a hostile climate,
in a vain attempt to conquer a country
which is fighting for its freedom. Yes, we
know all these facts well, and perhaps this
knowledge we have acquired in our long
experience of Spanish barbarity may lead
us now to belief in a crime which, if it has
been committed, will fill one of the most
shameful pages in the whole history of
Spain.
“I think that the American government
will investigate the cause of disaster and
act manfully in the matter. I cannot
avoid the sad reflection that if my letters,
addressed to President Cleveland and to
President McKinley, and the reports of the
Cuban government to the American gov-
ernment through our representative, Tomas
Estrada Palma, had been heeded by the
United States, that nation would not have
suffered the loss of $300,000,000 of Cuban
commerce, the constant annoyance due to
the danger of foreign complications and
the present loss of its cherished sailors and
of one of its best men of war, besides all
the troubles that may result from this ter-
rible incident ; and Cuba, poor Cuba, the
heroic island that is fighting alone, with-
out resources, without navy, against a Eu-
ropean power, would not have heen the
prey of a Weyler and now the victim of
the hypocrisy of a Blanco.
‘‘But one of the saddest disappointments
af my life is the knowledge that there are
in the United States persons who believe
that our just representations, asking only
for the recognition which we have the right
to request, were made for the purpose of
involving the United States in a war with
Spain because we could not cope alone
with the Spaniards.
fighting them three years more, and no
honest man can doubt after we have that
we are resolved to die rather than surren-
der. I have been thirteen years in the
saddle, and Spain has sent against me,
across the Atlantic 400,000 men. I have
needed no help to do that much, for with
me were the 40,000 Cubans who died in
the last war, and to-day the whole Cuban
army is ready to die for the principle we
maintain.
“It is a gross injustice, therefore, to
charge us with hypocritical and dissembled
‘We had fought the | 8
Spaniards ten years. Now we have been |
intentions when we ask the great nation of
Washington to grant us the same rights
they give to Spain, and not to use against
us and in favor of Spain their navy and
their police.—New York Sun.
Pope Leo XIII
Celebration of the Anniversary of His Coronation.
Pope Leo XIII.,, who celebrated the
eighty-eighth anniversary of his birth
recently and the anniversary of his cor-
onation as Pontiff a few days ago, is the
son of Count Ludovico Pecci. He was
born at Carpineto March 2nd, 1810, and
was baptised Vincenzo Gioachino. In 1818
he entered the Jesuit College of Viterbo,
and in 1824, on the death of his mother, he
was sent to Rome in the care of an uncle,
wkere he became a pupil of the Collegio
Romano, then restored to the Jesuits.
Young Pecci was such an ardent scholar
that in 1828 he got the first premium in
physico-chemistry, and his first accessit in
mathematics. He then studied philosophy
and in 1830 obtained the first premium,
and in the following year, being but 21
years old, the ‘Laurea.’ At the early age
of 12 he wrote Latin, prose or verse, with
facility, and it may be mentioned that since
he became pope a volume of his verses,
chiefly Latin, has been printed.
Having been made an ‘‘Abbate,”’ young
Pecci entered the College of Noble Ecclesi-
astics, but he frequently lectures at the
Roman University to learn canon and civil
law.
Becoming a doctor of laws, he was by
Pope Gregory XVI., made a domestic pre-
late and referendary of the signature in
1837, and in the same year he received holy
orders in the chapel of St. Stanislas Kotsa
in the Church of Andrea at Quarinate.
Following this he was made prothonotary
apostolic and sent as apostolic delegate to
Perugia, and later to Spoleto.
In 1843 he was sent as papal nuncio to
Belgium and received the title of Archbish-
op and Damietta (in partibus infidelium).
After three years in Brussels he was ap-
pointed bishop of Perugia,
Gregory’s successor, Pius IX., proclaimed
Pecci a cardinal in the consistory of Dec.
19th, 1853. Having been a member of
several congregations of cardinals, he was,
in September, 1877, made Cardinal Camer-
lango of the Roman church, in which capa-
city, after the death of Pope Pius, Feb. 7th,
1878, he acted as head of the church in
temporal matters, made the arrangements
for the last obsequies of the dead pontiff,
received from the Catholic ambassadors
and superintended the preparations for the
conclave of sixty-two cardinals, which on
Feb. 18th, 1878, elected him pope by ac-
clamation. He assumed the name of Leo
XIII, and on March 3rd, 1878, was
crowned in the Sistine chapel of the vati-
can.
In 1887 Pope Leo celebrated his jubilee,
commemorative of his having been fifty
years in the priesthood, and in 1893 his
episcopal jubilee.
Spain’s Fighting Force.
pu
She Has Lost Seventy Thousand in Cuba and Has
only 60,000 Men Subject to Duty.
Seventy thousand is the number of Span-
ish soldiers who have keen killed,
wounded and other wise incapacitated in
Cuba. The present force in Cuba is 135,
000 regulars, of whom 80,000 are effective.
About 25,000 are in the eastern provinces
of Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Principe,
and the remainder are in Santa Clara, Ma-
tanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio. There
are about 30,000 in the volunteer army,
mostly in the province of Havana. There
are 55,000 men who are not effective for
military duty. The strength of the Span-
ish army at home and including her near-
by possessions is 100,000 men, which may
be increased as follows : First reserve 50,-
000, second reserve 160,000 men, all of
whom are instructed in military tactics,
and a second reserve which is not instruct-
ed of 300,000 men, making a grand total of
610,000 men. Since these figures were re-
ceived here recent drafts of 15,000 men to
strengthen the army in Cuba leave only
85,000 men of Spain’s regular army now in
the peninsula, the Balearic islands, the
Spanish possessions in North Africa and
the Canary islands. In the Phillippine
islands Spain has an army of 32,000 men,
which includes about 15,000 native troops.
In Porto Rico there are 5,000 Spanish
troops, which in the event of hostilities
could be supplemented by 4,000 vojunteers.
War Preparations Everywhere.
The United States is not alone in its ef-
forts to create and assemble a formidable
navy. All of the great nations of the
world are rapidly preparing for possible
hostilities. All Europe is an armed camp.
Germany is expending $50,000,000 in the
building of battleships and cruisers. Eng-
land is to make additions to her already
powerful fleet, and her naval budget car-
ries $127,000,000. Russia has set apart
$70,000,000 for new ships, and it is suspect-
ed that a great shipbuilding yard is to be
laid out at Port Arthur, possibly under the
direction of Mr. Charles H. Cramp, who is
‘now speeding eastward across the Atlantic.
France is making plans for building vessels
at an expense of about $50,000,000, while
Japan is hurrying to completion a very
great addition to a navy which is already
an imposing one.
Thus at the end of the century war clouds
surround us all, for there are many great
questions to be settled. And yet may it
not be that in these vast preparations we
shall find safety, and that the nations will
hesitate long before resorting to their
death dealing machines.

Blanche K. Bruce Dead.
— -
One of the Most Distinguished Men of the African
Race Passes Away,
Blanche K. Bruce, register of the treas-
urer, died last Thursday morning.
Mr. Bruce’s death has been expected for
several days. He suffered from a com-
plication of stomach troubles, which at first
appeared not serious, but toward the close
of the week it became apparent that his
vitality was ebbing rapidly.
Blanche K. Bruce was born in Prince
Edward county, Va., March 1st, 1848, and
therefore was 57 years old. He was of
African descent, was born a slave, and re-
ceived the rudiments of education from the
tutor of his master’s son. He taught
school for atime in Hannibal, Mo., and
later became a student at Oberlin.
In 1875 he was elected United States
Senator as a Republican and served until
March 3rd, 1881. He was a member of
every Republican national convention held
since 1868. In 1881 he was appointed by
President Garfield register of the treasury,
and later was appointed recorder of deeds
of the District of Columbia. About six
months ago he was again appointed register
of the treasury by President McKinley.
Next after Fred. Douglass, Mr. Bruce had
long been regarded as perhaps the most
conspicuous man of his race.
