But

after the war of 1812 England *Uently revised her idea* of international law and dropped out “the right of search” ot American vessels on the high sea*. She will revise them again in regard to the Monroe doctrine before this controversy Is ended, and will admit that the Monroe doctrine does form a most important part ot intcrnatiotial law as far as matters regarding the American Hemisphere are concerned. Across the channel the sentiment is scarcely Ims serious. France and Germany, both having interests on this continent, view the message with undisguised alarm, as encroaching on their rights. They even go so far as to suggest that England alone is in poor shape to handle the husky young republic, but that if there were concert of action by the interested powers in denying the Monroe doctrine there would be no difficulty in ex pioding the bubble, which, however, has can*e<l many a continental statesman

The Farm a« an Investment. Those who complain that the farm Soesn't pay would often find that after summing up the situation that the ' showing is not »> bad after all, a* com I sired with business in the city, says the ' Massachusetts Ploughman. Secretary Morton, in his annual report, illustrates , the point by sup[><*diig a transfer of i F 4.000 agriculturally invested in each average farm of 1.17 acre*, with stock, tools, to be the choiceot Wall afreet, investment. Risk that money in rail- i road first mortgage ixind*. in bank I stocks, or in any other alleged safe «e- j curlty which may be found a favorite I among shykicks, brokers, plutocrats, j monopolists, money-power manlpulat- ■ ora and multi-millionaires, and if it re- ‘ turn* 6 per cent, it is a remarkably ! profitable investment in the eyes of j capitalists. Therefore. $240 is the an- i uual inctmie. Follow the transfer of the farm mon- I ey with that of the farm family to ur- ’ ban residence. Now. with the same la- , b«r in the city or village, asks the Sec- | retary. can they attain by hard work ; every day in rhe year, adding their wage* to the $240 Income, as much of independence, wbotasonie living and real comfort aa the same amount of money in the land and the same head* and hands working on the soil generously and healthfully bestowed upon them, in the sweet quiet of a home, amid‘flowers, trees, fruits and abundance, on the farm? Storing Onion**, Onions, like other bulbs, can tie easily preserved If k>>t dry, and although. If this is otiserveil. they will stand a considerable range of temperature, it Is desirable that they have a temperature of from thirty-five to forty-five degree*. When In a damp room they start readily. esjiecially if at high temperature, and as spring approaches the buds start even if kept comparatively cool. Pare should l>e tn ken not to store onions In too large bulk, and to prevent beating they should t*e in shallow bins or in crates. Tlsc Vaitso ot the Silo, The next thing we had to learn was 1 sow to grow what was to be put into It. I We had the corn In drills, using two and one-half bushels of seed to the acre, and getting weakly, sickly stalks that a storm would knock flat, says the Philadelphia Ledger. This, as I have said, we at first cut green, but the second | year we let It get a little more mature, and we found we had done well, as it was better. Our next lesson was that a half bUßhel of seed was better than the five times as much we had been using, and. with more space between the rows and hills, it gave us more pro-

duct Then we Improved It still » cr * l.y lettiu* it *< t riptr before cutting, it took many dollars and muck' meutlA* and study to find out all that l« , known iww-more than thv*e who are j now being benafited by Us result* v ' the exporianco reallre. Anyone with a dairy of ten cows and upwards should have a allo. Nothing can bw grown upon an acre of Found that will give aa great return a* corn fur tbs allo. No other kind of corn fodder has given u* anything like the *a:u* satisfaction as ensilage. It i* * »***• giving food, but wheat bran !• necessary to give the balanced ration. Now we cut the corn when the ear* b*g!n to glare, cutting all of it. ear*, blade and stalk, and putting it In. Another lesson we learned wa* that pressure I* nos necessary. One Way to Have M»»ney* During the winter many conveniences and nerewaary farm tool* and implement* on be made In the home work- * bouse, say* the Agriculturist HayI racks, wagon bed*, swing gates, water J trough* and tank*, sled*, tool rack*, stalk rakes, chicken coop*, shipping crates and berry boxes are simple in construction. Any bright farmer, with the assistance of a blacksmith, can make all of these and more. The expense win be much les* than if bought in town or hired made. The tool* which j every well-regulated farm ought to pote i m-ss will answer. We liave in mind a ' young farmer who does all this kind of | work, and he is prospering in spite of i bard times, cheap product*, etc. He : raises a* much grain and stock a* hi* | neighbor* who buy everything "ready” I made, and ha* much more "ready” ■ ash. Try your hand at it when the weather prevent* outside work. Many kitchen thing* are also easily made. Home-Made Sausages. The sausages that come on the farmer* table ought always to be home made. Tb-.we which are purchased in the butcher shops are almost always made of meat that i» nearly ready to decay, and the high seasoning they get with spices Is for the purpose of concealing their unwholesomenea*. A wellmade sausage is nc. at all unwhole•MDe. though It is usually harder to digest than meat not so highly spiced. The home-made sausage ought to have not more than one-fourth of it* meat fat. Most bougbten sausages contain more fat than this, the sausage being ll—i to get rid of fat meat that would not be otherwise salable. Care in Keeping Apples. There are greater difficulties in marketing fruit successfully than in marketing any other I-rm product. Even the best keeping apple* will waste enough under ordinary care between fall ami spring to more than offset their increased price at the latter season. Moot farm cellars are too warm to store fruit successfully, and if ventilated to keep them coot it makes the living rooms above too cold. A cellar built by itself half above ground and half below is liest for storing fruit. This can be ventilated, and in the very coldest weather a stove can be heated to prevent danger of the fruit freezing. Feeding Cora in the Ea'. The Western Dent corn doramot dry out so quickly as the Flint varieties. It ha* more weight per bushel of ears, especially if the kernels are well filled out. In cold weather or on poor sol! the Dent corn will much of It be light and chaffy, especially toward the tip end. The Flint corn is less likely to be chaffy, but If the season is unfavorable, more or less of it will not be filled out to the end. Where the pollenizatlon is deficient the corn will be scattering on the cob, though the kernels will be larger and better than when they are compressed In an ear where there is not a missing grain. Keeping Cabbage. Most people bury cabbage for wlnte< use. says Ida Keys, in the Agriculturist. and. if properly done, it is the very l>est way to keep them. They are, however, not easily got at when the ground is frozen or covered with snow. A part of the crop may be satisfactorily kept as follows: Trim the heads very closely, wrap in newspapers and pack in barrel*. Set In a cool cellar and use as needed. They will not dry out or decay as when placed in the cellar without protection. If this process Is followed. a quantity can be taken from the ground at one time. Keeping Hog* in Barnyard*. We know many farmers who make a practice of wintering their hog* in the barnyard, letting then gather refuse thpt would otherwise be wasted. It is a gixxl plan where the other animals are stabled and fed. *o that the hogs will not annoy them by soiling their feed. If cattle are fed whole grain a few hogs will get much of their living by eating grain voided in an undlgestible state. In such cases the hogs often get quite as much benefit from grain so fed as do the animals to which it 1* given.—American Cultivator. Hedge* a* Crop Dentroycr*. The hedge is not so popular as it used to lie, and i* destined to be less so a* land becomes scarcer and more valuable. Even when closely trimmed the hedge destroys the crops for several feet on either side. In England hedges are much more common than here, but It is mainly because England lack* other fencing material. The English hedges are, however, carefully trimmed and the parts pruned off have the advantage of being worth more a* kindlings for coal than the cost of th* labor required to secure them. Drive Good Stock. We have for a long time Judged the fa.-mer by the horse he drives. This animal, more than all other*, indicates the condition of the farm. Show us a man with a fat. sleek span of spirited animals, and we wik show you a farm in goo! tilth, neat improvements and everything wearing a prosperous look.

N ot Like Home. ‘•The gorge'us new hotels of York are not homelike and comf rtabb as the old ones,” said a frequent visitor to town. ‘•The new palace* are *•> heaped and littered about with costly brie a brae, pointings and statues that the proprietors have to keep servants hanging arou i all the time to see that the pretty things are not damaged or stolen. “One consequence is that noons feels at ease in them, and there is no such thing aa privacy except you lock yourself in your bedro tn. To hr Id a private consultation with a friend in one of the parlors is imf* wsible, unless you do it in whispers, because there is always a maid or detective loitering near you. And if you whisper you become a suspicious character at ones. “A wealthy Westerner who cresses very carelessly made a scene in ne of these luxurious lounging rcs>ms th* other day. Whenever he went into the parlors he was watr hed and followed. Either a maid or a man Uok turns in keeping eyes on him. -At last he went up to the detective and ordered him out of the ror m. “‘I live here,' said he, -and I don’t propose to be shadowed am-ther five minutes.' ••The man went ou' ' “• er the indignant pers n was a guest.
