This particular treaty was drafted during Secretary Oresham's administration of tho state department, but was not completed then, owing to the objec tion of President Cleveland to any oxtrndltion tronty that did not permit a country to deliver up its own citi zens under extradition proceedings. Denmark would not agree to surren der her citizens to tho United' States, and tho treaty waa allowed to remalu In nbeyanco until recently, when, find ing that the United States had mndo several treaties without tlio objection able provision, Denmark reneved the negotiations that ended today m the signing of tho treaty. Ab It will go to the Senate for approval, the conven tion Is silent on the surrender of a country's own citizens. PEKIN IN GALA ATTIRE.

A Hinall house hnH been found useful nnd com fortable where numbers of young pigs are raised, nnd It Is desirable to let them have all the exercise they wish. A number of these Hinall house may be built of rough lumber and covered with building paper. They are placed nt convenient places and covered, on the windy side, with com stalks, waste straw or other handy material to make them more comfortable. A-good ar rangement Is to construct n rough fence so that tho strnw covering placed on the sides and top will be inside the fence and the opening of the house Into the yard. Ten or a dozen stnnll pigs can occupy one of these small houses with comfort and will thrive. Indianapolis News. Old I'rlnclplcH In KnrmliiK. While it Is undoubtedly true that farmers have learned much about farm ing during lute years that has material ly helped them In making the form pay better rcturns.-lt is also true, I11 many cases, that they are getting away from some of the fundamental principles of correct farming. The tendency to sell ns much as possible from the farm Is too strong nnd too far-reaching. Time wns when sales from the farm were made ouly nfter provision bnd been made for the living and comfort of the occupants, human and animal. Then, too, the soil was considered, and If It needed anything produced on the farm It was furnished. These things well provided for, the surplus. If nny, wns sold. As a result the stock was well fed and the manure went to Improvo tho soil. True, there was not so much ready cash handled as now, but there were fewer things for which cash was needed, for everything needed that could be produced on the farm was so produced. It is admitted that In this age, when things are deemed necessi ties that were formerly thought luxu ries, more rendy cash Is needed, but, nt least, we can so arrange things In farm ing that the cash Is not obtained at tho expense of the animals or the vitality of the farm. UhIiik Abandoned Pastures. In many sections of the country, but perhaps moro largely in the East, one will Hud on the farms Acids which had been used for pasture uutll they wero no longer profitable for that purpose and not thought worth breaking up and rc-seedlng. Eight out of every ten of such pastures could be turned Into fer tile fields by proper hnndllug. One ex cellent plan for doing this Is to break up this pasture, manuring It as heavily as oilo can afford, and plant to corn. Cultivate tho corn several times during the growing period nnd sow. In August or September, to some cover crop. The following spring plant to potatoes. Fu ture crops should bo according to fer tilizing nnd what 0110 wishes to grow. The main point In this Item Is to call attention to tho value of these aban doned pastures for tho llrst crop of corn. Enlugh corn mny bo grown to carry a herd of pigs to a profitable market and nt an expense that will hardly bo felt. Exchange. Ail Kcouomlcul Itatlou, Wuero there Iu fair stock of clover hay on hand, and an abundance of corn stover, cows may bo fed very economically on n ration of ten pounds of clover hay, fifteen pounds of corn stover, cut or shredded If tho latter, tho clover ration may bo reduced one quarter four pounds of wheat bran, four pounds of corn meal and one pound of oil meal a day. This Is not a heavy ration, and probably would not do for n largo animal, or ouo whoso milk flow was heavy, but It will an swer very well for thd averngo farm cow, keep her lu good milk nnd bring her out lu the spring In good shape. If It Is posslblo to havo tho corn stover shredded by all means do It, whatever stock Is fed with It, for tho butts nro very rich, and all animals will cut thorn SWINK-KKEri.NQ CO.VTItl VANCE. i , , - - , ,. greedily if they nro cut nnd shredded so) thai tlicy mny bo readily chewed. With the above ration, plenty of pure water, and n warm, sunny and well ventllatcil stable the average cow will fare well, and the farmer who suffered from tho drought will have a comparatively small feed bill nt the close of winter. FnctH About the Hllo. Sllngc is oh valuable In summer ns In winter. Thirty pounds a day Is enough sllago for an average sized Jersey cow. Larger cattle will eat more. A cubic foot of sllngc from the mlddla of n medium sized silo will averngo about forty-five pounds. Fifteen feet In diameter nnd thirty feet Is n good depth. Such a hIIo would hold about 200 tons of silage cut In half Inch lengths. Silage comes nearer being n perfect substitute for the succulent food of tho pasture than any other food thnt can be had In winter. Corn Just passing out of roasting car Htngc Is the best single material for sl lago. Corn and cowpcas nro tho best combined mnterlnl. A larger amount of healthful food for cattle can be preserved In the silo In better condition, nt less expense of la bor and land, than by any other method known. The circular silo, made of good, hard wood staves, I.s the cheapest and best For 182 dnys, or half a year, nn aver age Jersey cow will require about six tons of silage, allowing for unavoida ble waste. I'cciIInc Kiluur Ilcctn. In sections where sugar beets can bo grown nt comparatively small expenso they should form one of the crops for stock feed even If not grown for fac tory use. In mnny localities sugar beets will form a fair part of the ration this winter when grain Is scarce and high In price. Some complaints have been made about the sugar beets, but. In most cases, this Is due to using them too freely. No green food or root crop should be used at the expense of grain or roughage, except in part, although they may be more freely used than they are. especially sugar beets. They nro especially desirable In the early spring for sows that have farrowed, nnd for new rollch cows, greatly Increasing tho milk flow. All farm stock Is fond of sugar beets, and If they are on the farm or con be bought at n fair price they should form part of the ration as long as they mny be had or until the stock Is turned out In the spring. Fruit AsHortlnu Table. The cut shows an assorting table for fruit or roots, which Is about 3 by 12 feet and nearly 3 feet high, with a four Inch rim all around so as to bold about six bushels of apples or potatoes and bring them right up so that the men can stand up straight In sorting. Speak ing of assorting potatoes In the cellar, a correspondent says in reference to this table: With a wire scoop shovel we scoop them up from the cement bot tomed cellar, leaving all dirt and dust AN ASSOnTI.NO TABLE. on the floor to be swept up and taken out. The table stands In a good light, and the sorting Is far more rapid, easy and accurate than when you kneel down and sort from tho big pile. The legs should be well braced both length wise and crosswise. We have two of these tables, and they nre a great help nnd a great saving of backache and kneeacbe In assorting several thou sand bushels of apples and potatoes In the course of a year. Ohio Farmer. Treatment of Old Orchards, Many nn old and apparently worth less orchard might be made of value by encouraging the growth of tho young shoots. One orchard of tho kind de scribed was supposed to bo too old to be worth anything. Tho largo branches wero cut back freely and where a young shoot with much vigor was found tho cut wns mnde so that this shoot was not Injured nor the flow of snp In the main branch retarded. Grafting was doue In somo of tho small er branches nnd the trees bore several good crops of-frult; more than enough to pay for the work and the nfter enro of tho soli. True, It wns taklug a chance, but the labor was not great nnd the trees wcro valueless- unless treated In somo such manner. FeetlliiR Value of Apples.
