German Government Spit s En Route to
the United States Samoan Mat
te, s Becoming More Se
riousLand Matter.
It is asserted in Washington by
those in a position to know that mat
ters have reached a serious state in Sa
moa. The natives have worsted the
Germans repeatedly, and according to
late dispatches Germany now proposes
to subdue them by preventing arm?
being sent in., ihe newspapers read
by Americans have been suppressed,
and the police of Apia are openly con
trolled by Uermans.
A private cablegram recently re
ceived at Washington announces that
the German government has orded a
military attache to report at Wash
ington to the German minister. His
business, it is said, is to investigate
and report to his government every
thing of interest concerning the Amer
ican army and navy.
Tho Republican Senators Sn caucus
bave adopted a resolution insisting
upon the admission as States of North
and South D. kota, Montana and
Washington. While it is regarded as
expedient that the two Dakotas hold
a constitutional convention, the Sena
tors are resolved that another vote
shall not be required upon the ques
tion of division. There is a disposi
tion for the adoption of a non-partisan
course in regard to New Mexico.
The case brought in the internet of
some Oregon settlers has been de
cided by the commissioner of the gen
eral land t-ffice. Heretofore the office
has required a new publication and
new proof iu cases where claimants
have made proet at a day other than
that indicated in the notice of publi
cation, or taken before au officer other
than that named in the notice. The
practice now will be to receive the
proof and submit the entry to a board
of equitable adjudication, where, if
there are no o' her irregularities, the
entry will be approved and recom
menced for a patent.
Commissioner Wright, of the de
partment f labor, has submitted a
report hlch relates entirely to the
subject of working women in large
cities. The report shows that the
working women are practically girls,
whose average age is twenty-two years,
and that out of the 16,427 cases inves
tigated, ODly 183 were in bad health.
At a recent meeting of the Ameri
can Shipping and Industrial league,
Gen. Joe W heeler, I Alabama, was
elected president for the ensuing year.
Kesolution8 were adopted favoring the
passage of a tonnage bill, which asks
for an allowance from the govern
ment for United States built and
owned vessels, of 30 cents a ton for
each 1000 miles sailed, or steamed ;
also favoring a system ef coast de
fenses; the building and equipment
of a strong navy ; the improvement of
harbors and rivers throughout the
whole couniry ; adequate compensa
tion for carrying the mails ; and the
patsige of a navy reserve bill.
The Haytian minister at Washing
ton has informed the secretary of
state that several vessels are being
fitted out at ew lork for an expe
dition against Hayti. The matter has
been referred to the treasury depart
ment, with the result that the collec
tor of customs at New York was spec
ially instructed to see that no viola
tions of the neutrality laws were com
mitted at that point.
The President has sent to the Sen
ate the name of D. Wade, of Mon
tana, to be chief justice of that Terri
tory.
It is now asserted that Consul Gen
eral Sewell will not agaiu represent
the United States at Samoa.
In Oregon and Washington Terri
tory, and it is stated in Ctslifornia,
there are many excellent government
lands, which would be at once settled
on were the land surveyed. There
are also hundreds of settlers, in Ore
gon especially, who are living on land
and have been trying for years to get
their land, but, owing to the small
price allowed surveyors by the gov
ernment for the work, they could not
undertake to survey it.
Friends of silver are eomewhdt in
dignant that Senator Allison has re
fused to accept the portfolio of the
Treasury department. They claim
that he has an opportunity to restore
silver to its former standing in coin
age. An important proviso of the Okla
homa bill as passed by the house re
cently is one reciting that nothing in
the act organizing the territory shall
be construed to authorize any person
to enter upon or occupy any lands in
the Cherokee outlet and Oklahoma
proper, for settlement or otherwise,
until after the Indian tribes and com
missioners shall have concluded an
agreement to that effect. It is also
provided that any person who may en
ter upon any part of the land con
trary thereto and prior to the time of
the President's proclamation opening
the same, shall not be permitted to
make entry upon any lands in the ter
ritory. Representative Hermann has pre
sented to Congress a petition signed
by 600 setclers on the high lands of
Eastern Oregon, asking for the for
feiture by Congress of The Dalles mil
itary wagon road land grant and the
Northern Pacific railroad land grant.
Petitioneas a ver that neither of those
companies has complied with the con
ditions of its grant, and that the pro
gress of the country is retarded by tfce
failure of the people to obtain titles to
their homes, or to acquire lands by
settlement.
Horses should be kept well shod and
sharp while they are worked on roads
slippery with ice and snow. Inatten
tion to this point often causes lame
ness and suffering to the horse and
loss to its owner. 2ub the legs, and
particularly the heels, dry with wisps
of straw when the horse comes in
from work in rain or snow. Obstin
ate cases of scratches come from neg
lect of this.

The result of the Laguna de Tache
grant land suit at Fresno, it is said,
will be to transfer a water monopoly

fits. Farmers in the southwestern part
of Grass Valley township, Nevada
county, are organizing fcr the purpose

snap the weapon. Tnursday he loaded
the gun with buckshot and playfully
placed the muzzle in his mouth, ask

THE SECRET OF BREEDING AND
FEEDING CATTLE.
The, Proper Management of Seed Fo.a
toes-The Advantages of Well
fe hod Horses A Receipt for
Preserving Ergs.
Grooming should be thoroughly per
formed on every horse at least once a
day. Never groom a horte in its etal!
wuue me r.orse is eating, but take it
out for the purpose. Otherwise the
dust and dirt which fill the air become
mixed with the horse's food, making it
unpalatable and unwholesome.
Breediag sows should be eiven com
fortable, clean quarters, with freedom,
or, at least, the liberty of a yard large
enough for moderate exercise. Dv not
let them run with cattle or hordes,
though, they should have generous
and plentiful rations of bran and
other muscle-forming food, tut net
much Indian corn or meal. Skim
milk, bran, oil-meal, boiled to a thin
gruel, peas, etc., are good foods for
them.
The management of seed potaks
is one of the important arts of the
potato grower. The chief point is to
prevent them from sprouting, and for
this purpose a low temperature as near
to the freezing as is possible, without
touching it, is desirable. Nearly ev
erywhere farmers find that the late
varieties of potatoes are more product
ive than the early ones. I? not this
p irtly due to the fact that early varie
ties have been injured by sprouting,
while late varieties are less liable to
this it jury.
Tbe following receipt has been tried
by a lady who says she has egg that
were preserved by it four years. They
are still good. Take one pound of
unslacked lime and one pint of com
mon salt to two gallons of soft water.
Put your eggs on end, in layers, iu
any good tight vessel a j ir is good.
When as full as you with, make
enough of the brine to completely
cover the eggs. If you put the eggs
down as gathered each day, add some
of the brine so as to keep all complete
ly covered all the while.
In breeding and feeding cattle the
first legitimate purpose is to make tbe
animal do the very best that it will.
The saving of food in the direction
of depriving the stock of all that it
will eat has no place in the calcul e
tion at all. It is true that in some
cases the animal will cat its bead off,
though that will occur only with scrub
stock. But in such cases the animal
ehould be got rid of. It does not de
stroy the rule that profitable dairying
demands abundant food and good
food.
Probably meal will finish up a steer
better than ear corn, but for the bulk
of the feeding there are no trials to
which we can point that show in favor
of meal over whole corn. A step still s
further in the right direction is to feed
unhusked corn, fodder and all, to the!
cattle. Such innovations may appall T
many farmers, but what we are drill-!
ing toward is rot more complicated j
methods ol feeding, but big crops t j
feed, better stock to feed it to, and
simple, rational methods of getting
feed to the animals.
If the owner of a small farm brings
to bis work tbe bus-mess capacity and
good judgment which tbe large land
owner does, it is very evident that,
proportioned to the acres cultivated,
he will have tbe most money at the
end of the year. Hired help is not
only expensive, but at times very un
certain and unreliable, but a man's
own hands, with a heart in his work,
which seldom accompanies hired help,
are always available for every little de
tail on which success depends. Many
men will do more with teu acres and
get more out of, and from them, than
others v ill with a hundred. It re
quires as much labor, however, for the
ten as the hundred. It is intelligent
labor and good management that
count on a farm, hence it is that small
farms pay the best and that farmers
contiuually complain that there is no
money in farming. To our way of
thinking, and we are familiar with
every department of farm business,
and measurably so with the city,
there is no enterprise one can engage
in which offers better opportunities
for a healthful, independent and suc
cessful life than a moderate sized farm
under good management.
There are many who never take a
ramble in tbe woods in the winter sea
son. They seem to think that because
the trees, save the pines, hemlock?,
etc., are bare, and because tbe birds
have left for a warmer climate, there
is nothing to be seen in the woskIs in
winter. Those who bave learned
properly to use their eyes, will find
that the woods prevent enough of in
terest at all seasons to make a vi-it to
them profitable at any season. Lum
bermen, who work at felling trees, do
so iu the winter only, and can distin
guish trees with great accuracy, and
tell one kind of tree from another as
far off as they cm see them. They do
tins from the peculiar way in which
the tree branches, and the color and
markings of the bark. We have
found that these Bamo lumbermen, it
shown the leaves aud fljwers of the
trees with which they are so familiar
in winter, tail to recognize ihzm , in
deed many are surprised to learu that
forest trees bave Mowers. To be able
to recognize trees at all season, and
to name them accurately, whether
they have leaves or not, is a very use
ful sort of knowledge which every far
mer should acquire. The carpenter,
the cabinetmaker, and all other work
ers in wood, while they may not be
able to recognize the trees, can tell at
once, from a mere chip, the kind of
wood they are handling.

According to Engineering, some
experiments conducted at the Ports

to determining the resistance of metals
at different temperatures, indicate that
the strength of iron increases uni

ductility diminishes up to about 300
degrees; it then inoreases until a some

and then remains nearly constant up

How is scrap iron utilized? In a city
here there are so many foundries and
manufacturing works as in Pittsburgh
an immense quantity of it is sold. But
what do the dealers do with it?
Doubtless this question has puzzled
others besides the reporter who under
took its solution the other day. In his
wanderings about the city the news
paper man spied a sign on a building
indicating that the latter was occupied
by "dealers in iron and steeL" and at
once sought an interview with the pro
prietor.
What do we do with scrap? Cut it
up and sell it to furnaces and mills.
Come out Into the works and I'll show
you how 'tis done,"
And the gentleman led the way from
the office into a yard in which was
piled tons upon tons of old iron and
steel. There were all sorts of utensils,
or pieces of them, from wagon springs
to engine boilers. Old axes, shovels,
hoes, cooking stoves, piles of stove
pipe, pots and kettles, and a thousand
and one other articles made up the
miscellaneous assortment
"Tbe first thing to be done with the
scrap after it is received is to sort it
separating the iron from the steeL
Castings that are too big to hartie in
the bulk are broken up by a big ma
chine called tbe 'drop,' and then the
whole is cut into convenient shape
for use in crucibles. For cutting there
are powerful machines which I will
show you."
A workman was seated oa a bench
with a big pile of wagon springs near
him. These he was feeding, one by
one, to a big machine which kept a
huge jaw working up and down, biting
off a piece of steel with each move
ment Near by was a larger machine
which must have been many tons in
weight The knife that did the cutting
was attached to and apparently a part
of a huge iron beam, which worked up
and down propelled by steam power.
This beam resembled in shape ihe
head and snout of a big black hog, and
this appearance was heightened by the
steady opening and shutting of the
ugly iron jaw. which was chewing np
the plates of what had once been a
strong engine boiler, into pieces three
or four inches square. When the iron
or steel has been cut or broken into
this shape it is ready for sale in lots of
several tons.
"Where do you get your material?"
From many sources. Some of it
comes from cities as distant as Mil-
kee and Detroit and some has been
picked up here at home. It comes to
is in boat-loads, ear-lo3ds and wagon-
loads. The rar men of the city gather
up iron on their rounds, and when the
junk dealers have accumulated several
tons o it they sell it to us. Then the
trading boats that ascend the Alleghany
analMonongahela bring us large quanti
ties. They take out glassware, tin
ware and other goods, which their
owners exchange with farmers and
others for old iron, and come back
loaded with that material. It comes
to us in every conceivable form from
every quarter." FUtsburjh Dispatch.
ABQUT SHOP LIFTING.
How a Detroit Merehant Treats Persons
(aught at fUferlng; Ooods.
"Do you have much trouble with
shop-lifters?"' asked a reporter of a
Detroit dry goods merchant
"Very little,' he answered. "I have
been in business a great many years
and have probably had as good a
chance to know as any one in De
troit e have had very little stolen
from us."
"How do you account for that?"
"In several ways. One is that we
do not leave our goods lying 'round at
loose ends or thrown promiscuously
upon the counter. Then if some one
is e-aught stealing a pair of gloves or a
yard of lace or a pocket-handkerchief.
we first assure ourselves of the fact
that it is a theft, and then ask for a
return of the goods and let the parties
off with a reprimand. I have no time
to attend police courts and can not
make myself see the necessity of ar
resting people for trivial offenses, 1
have faith enough in human nature to
believe that the parties themselves will
do better by me, with such treatment."
"Yes," said one of the partners,
"that has always been our firm's policy
and I think it is a good one. I remem
ber a stranger who was passing our
old store, nabbed a man and brought
him in by the collar. 'I caught this
man stealing,' he said. He had taken
some trivial thing from outside. My
brother looked at him a moment then
he asked sternly:
"What did you do that for?
The man shivered and shook and ex
pected to be sent to jail, but my part
ner just looked him over and said.
"Get out of this! Don't let me ever
hear of your stealing again."
"How about the rich kleptomaniacs
who purloin fine goods which you
charge in your bills?"
"All nonsense. There are no such
people, or if there are, they do not
patronize me, AU this talk about
systematic stealing and shoplifting is
nonsense. There are professional shop
lifters we should probably know them
at a glance. At all events I would
rather lose a few dollars in that way
than to expend it in- convicting some
poor wretch in the courts." Detroit

Undoubtedly some harm is done by
those who insist upon bringing up all
children after one cast-iron pattern.
In a certain sense it is true, as an old
lady once said, that " if you have thir

can be managed alike." But
after all, the worst harm, and a great
deal of the most of it is committed by
those who say: " There is no use in
trying to bring up a family by rule.'
