The trouble between the Mexican and United States officials at Havana, Tex., growing out of the seizure of 3,000 sheep by Mexican officials, is receiving the at tention of President Cleveland and Sec retary Gresham. All telegrams and other data bearing on the subject are now De fore the State Department for action, and the matter may soon become one of unusual diplomatic importance. Special Agent Ayers' much-talked-of suppressed report on tin plate nas Deen given out by the Treasury Department. It shows during the period from July 1 to March 31 the aggregate production of tin plate in this country from sheets rolled in tlie United States was 34,632, 052 pounds.

The recent advices received by Secre tary Morton from an aiient in Europe fully confirm previous reports regarding the shortage of certain crops in many sections of Europe, which he represents is likely to guarantee a large demand for American forage crops, including corn.

The Deputy Col lector of the district of Vermont, sta tioned at Montreal, states that the object of this action is in the first placo to pro vent false branding and misrepresenta tion of foreign butter and cheese as Ca nadian in the country of destination, and second, to supply a safeguard against the substitution of Canadian butter and cheese, which increases the transit and retention of the foreign product in Can ada without payment of duty. At no time since the war have customs receipts been so low as now. The matter is causing Secretary Carlisle a good deal of worry. In the' Treasury last week the cash balance was reduced to (105, 000,000, inclusive of gold reserve and (10,000,000 abrased and uncurrent and subsidiary coin. What is left of the de picting gold reserve continues to be the only cash balance in the Treasury with which to pay current expenses.

The vigorous protest entered by tlie United States government against the outrage to Miss Milton, an American missionary, in the Turkish province of Mosul has borne fruit that will insure to some extent in future the safety of Christian missionaries in Turkey. The United States made a demand for a rigid investigation of the otttrnRo am) punish ment of the guilty parties. This de mand was met by the Turkish authorities in a manner entirely satisfactory to this government. Hereafter the Vizier of Mosul will give a Vizieral letter to mis sionaries, recommending the bearer to the protection of the authorities, and a military escort will be furnished all mis sionaries who desire it. Furthermore, the Vizier has sent an officer and troops fo the scene of the outrage with instruc tions to investigate and make a report; bat, owing to the remote situation of the placo, no report has vet been made. The difficulty of guarding ellectually the vast frontier of tlie United States on the North and South has been frequently made apparent. Chinese come in from Mexico and Canada; alien contract la Isircrs, too, cross our frontiers, and now it is discovered the aboriginal American is engaged in eluding tlie vigilance of Uncle Sam's customs officers. A case was brought to the attention of Assist ant Secretary Hamlin the other day. An Indian was roiKirteil as havine crossed iroitu unadawith (2,000 worth of Indian goods in Ins possession. Ily law tlie In dians in their migrations oil the North em tKirder co to and return from Canada at will, and aro allowed to carry their ' lltl'lliO.! " U-ltl, llw.lt. .Int.. fv.u. Tim Indian, it is asserted by the special agent reporting the case, has evidently learned "some tricks" from his pale-faced neigh bors, and is bringing into this country as his personal "effects" goods subject to duty. In this case the Indian Bwore that the goods were his, but it is learned that lie is a runner for a Canadian inanufact urer, ami that they are sold to Indians in tlie United States on tlie Northern Itorder without paying the dutv the law requires. An investigation of the mat ter has lieen ordered A great many bills have lieen filed In the House. A great majority are bilis that havo al ready found a place on the calendars of the previous Congress, such as bills to repeal the Federal election law; to repay to States the cotton tax; to establish a uniform system of bank ruptcy: to increase the facilities for prosecuting war claims of various kinds. The original bills chiefly grow out of the existing financial conditions. Several are to repeal the 10 per cent tax on State bank circulation find two to establish an income tax. One by Richardson (IK'm.) of Tennessee is radical in its provisions, lie proposes a tax ol 2 per cent on (3, OiH) to (5,000, 5 ht cent on 5,tHXl to (10, 000, 10 per cent on (10,000 to (20,000, 15 per cent on (20.000 to 10,000, 20 percent on (;0.000 to (50,01V, 30 per cent on (50, 000 to (100,000, 4l) per cent on all over (100,000. A national bank bill has been projiaivd by Harter (Dein.) of Ohio, un der the provisions of which a national bank may issue circulating bonds to se cure it, and the bonds now on deposit with the Treasurer to secure circulation may be withdrawn, the United States to take the tirst lien on the assets of any failed national bank to secure its guar antee of the bank's circulation, and in rase the a sscts are not sufficient to re imburse thogoverninont the Comptroller ot the Currency is to make an assess ment upon all the national banks of the State in which the derelict bank is lo cated, divided pro rata according to the capital and surplus, to make up the de ficiency. Resides the 75 percent ot the circulation provided for as stated, tlie Iwnks may issue an amount equal to 50 per cent ot their capital and surplus to he known as emergency circulation, se cured by United Mate bonds, and to pay a tax of 6 per cent until retired. Among the other bills introduced are: To provide for the admission of Arirona; to enable the people of New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Oklahoma to form a constitution and State government and be admitted into the Union.

FAEM AND GARDEN. Do Not Depend on the Stock to Keep Down the Weeds. TIME IS MOSEY TO THE FARMER. Good Fowls for Laying Oregon and Washington Sheep Some Short Rows Etc. A large dry-goods box made tight on top answers as well as a house for ban tams. Provide shade and plenty of fresh wa ter for fowls during the extremely hot weather. Collect eggs every day, for they soon spoil if left in the nest during hot weath er. Put them in a cool place. The best thing you can do to insure success with your young stock is to fur nish every head of it with a good sire. This advice is not so much like putting tlie cart before the horse as it may seem at first. In the care of our domestic animals economy and humanity are synonymous terms. . jsvery brutal act, every harsh word even and every lack of proper cam will take something away from the proh't account. Do not depend on the stock to kepn down the weeds. It is true that thev may do something toward it, especially if you have sheep. But this is tlie time of the year when weeds go to seed, and so do most damage, and you should keep your eye on them. Cattle-growine cannot be followed in any haphazard way and be made profit able. There must be a definite purpose in your plans, and breeding and feeding must be such as will directly minister to mat ena. Anytmng stiort of this is pretty sure to bring disaster. Time-ft money to the farmer if it is to any man under the sun. Has it ever oecnrrpd to ynn tbftt a fa0t-vca!kir!gtca:ii would save you lots of lt7 In everv on. eration of the farm you would find them of benefit, and when vou go to town with a load of grain they would save you so much time that it would be equivalent to a Detter price lor your wheat. An economical method for handling part of the corn crop at least is to crib it with the husk on. Then run ear and husk through a cutting machine, and feed altogether. The corn must be thor oughly dried before it is cribbed. The huBk will be eaten better in this manner than in any other, and supplies the bulk that is always needed when much corn ia fed, ; When dressing broilers see that the skin is not torn. If this happens, sew it together neatly and press in place with the hngers. Pick off all the little pin feathers and drop the carcasses in ice water in order to remove the animal heat. Then hang in a cool place to drain, wipe dry with a clean towel and pack in a barrel or box with alternate layers of ice, and be sure to ship them at once. If you give any of the stock especial care through the winter, it should cer tainly be the breeding animals. We know that a good farmer will say that he treats all his stock alike, doing the very best he can for all. But perhaps certain quarters are more comfortable than others. Then put the breeding stock there, for on their comfort and thrift depends much of the value of the progeny. Sufficient variety is a most important item toward maintaining a good appe tite and good health. A man or an anb mail will tire of any one food when com pelled to live on it exclusively for any length of time. Never get the idea that it is expensive to feed a varied ration, for on the contrary it is the most eco nomical thine that you can do. It will bring about the most rapid gain at the least expense. GOOD FOWLS FOB LAVING. A noted writer on fowls says : " For laying hens select large, strong, healthy birds of the Leghorn varieties, with large, square bodies, without regard to fine points, such as pure white, flat ear lobes, or very yellow legs, or combs with just hve points, or plumage that is per fectly white in the white variety! or without a white speck in the brown. It is not that these points are any detri ment to the health and vigor of the birds, but that a constitution has been too often sacrificed to them, which often resit ts m a strain of enfeebled though handsome fowls. The Leghorns are ac climated American breeds, which origi nated from birds brought from the Med iterranean, and they have been im proved in this country by circumstances that have.given them a pre-eminent po sition for the farmer, when birds such as are above recommended are selected. Other breeds or crosses from them are much better than the Leghorns or any of the smaller breeds. Chickens that are the result of a Dorking cock and and Brahma liens are large and mature much earlier than the other. Moreover, they are hardy, fleshy, tender and fine flavored. Houdans in place of Dorkings are also good to cross on Brahmas or to breed with the first-mentioned cross, as they keep up size and quality. Plymouth Rocks are also a good table fowl, and are good to cross with the above." OBEGON AND WASHINGTON SHEEP, An Oregon correspondent writes: Sheep-raising on the ranges of Oregon and ashington is an industry of ran- Milium a mi . . r - aixjiG a I rr. il in 'd- 2.000,000 sheep in Oregon alone, And l oalimn l' 1 ... heavy producer , ibiiit uurt in me latter portion about 100,000, are started fromYhese twS States for Montana and Nebraska, the largest and finest being shipped from the Trv Kte 0 ChiaB anl otler9 go ing to Nebraska to be corn-fed It takes u.c uionms to make th s ktirnBv! hut as the grass is generally abundant, the stock arrives at it H.in,: : . i condition.
