fm ENGLAND IS LEARNING. fingiand is at last receiving some accurate Information touching the state of public opinion in this country to regard ito the Venezuelan question. The complacent Britishers -Who thave been reading the maid misre^resen'tattone of Smalley, the hy^terioall flailsificaltiibnfs of .Godkin, and the groltesque MeS of Pulitzeir, aire suddenly itreaited to am awakening 'douche of cold facts and calm statement. AH the British daily paper® have -heretofore accepted Salisbury's reply to Oilney as compteteily conclusive, and have 'alssumed tthe 'tone of pitying contempt or bullying arrogance towaird Americans who refused to ataoepit the Britialh view, eiays 'the Inia napoiiis News. All of them, too,mislead by ithe smalleyizings of fheir American correspondents afnd their dependence on Pulitzer and Godkin, have assumed t'h'at the president's message was merely a move in the game of politics, an)d 'that Americans could not Hong take it seriously. Thiis assumption was somewhat called in question' by the promjpt am unanimous action of the itw© 'houses of congress in sustaining- the president, But the piapers had 'so 'long been used to explaining a'1'1 Anaeiriican movements that they could 'not understand tby Ithe simple itfheory that tihey were due to partisan oa/uses, itihat 'tihey 'hiave still continued in sipllte of tire logSc of evenlts to hold that^Ir. Cleveland's principal reason for 'his position 'in regard 'to Ven^ ezuela is a deaiire to rnlake polilBJcaJ. caipittal -wih'itoh will .heilp ih'im to a re-eHieCtioin,

Curiicmisly enough all thils time no ish paper, so far as we Hiave learned, has made any attempt \to exiatmtoie Ithe data of the conltroversy. No efEortt baa been miade to reproduce origiraaJl documents and offioiia'l oorrespomd'e'nice, calcii'lafted Ito thirow light on the reafl question. BaJtiher it'he assumption fhlais been complelte th'aJt 'the British goveraih menlt's posiltion is riig!h!t and aJltogeitheir rig'hlt, because lit is Bniltisih and the government say lit 'is right and because Venezuela is 'badly governed, and because there is no livtag with Spanish-Americans, anyway, and becfeuuse of tlhe good old pdan. tthat they shall •ge't wbo Ihiawe 'the power, anldj

One of the cases fhalt every now and then make capital puniistomenit look Idikej legalized murder is found in thait of keep wiho can. Bu/t now 'the the notorious Bat Sheia, who was to London Chromicle has semt a "special commissioner" to Waslitogton, Who lis instructed simply to tell the 'truth, or who hate sufficient perspicacity and 4ntellectuial ihonesty accurately to. guag public sentiment, taind clearly 'to repoilt "the findings. 'H'ils disipa)tohie!s of yesterday and 'today give the kind of toformation^ both as to fadte and as to American sentiment, that the New York corresponidents of itfhe London press ought to have given 'tihteiir papers from the etart.

Doubtless 'the "spelcilal commissioner's" dispatches will toJave much weight W2th the fhougihtfu'l Briltiish people. Tihey corrobora/te wti'th the greaJt mass otf the Ameriioaai papers, copies of which must be In "the 'hand® of itlhe London editors by .this time, Wave all ailortg been saying, They explaSni to -the amilsle'd Bnbton the unanlhmity of 'the American congress iin support of the president they poilnlt out ia way by whitoh Saflisbury, if he fis wise, can retrieve ihis faflse step. It is well to 'bear to mind, too, that a "speciiial commissiloinier" of a relsponsible Brilbish paper is a much more dignified and important personiage than a spediafl correspondent. The commissioner is usually a man well known to "the public, who ihas achieved a rep-intia-ttion, fBnd whose oipiniiion carnfles a certain authority. I't tils maniife^t 'that the Chron'Me's commtosiOner 'ins a mam of .this chamaoter, as he laippeals 'to ihiis published 'books for ixroof that ihiis attitude of mimd is not lanti-Brilttislh.'' H'is dfispatches show that this oredenitiiais •have been such as Ito procure (him intercourse With members jotf 'tlhe aJdimilnlis•tration anld fwith other leading public characters at WasShSngton. For all these reasons as we just aaM, ihJls words will doubtless have mudh effect to clearing the air at London, land will help on to a, peiatoeful and bbnorafble adjustment of t-he dispute,

The Brlitons are rapidly coming ito mvderstamd, we think, now ithait tihe Americans are tremendously tifrx earnest in regard to the Monroe doctrine thait tihey propose 'to defend Jt and enforce it at all hazards, that itlhe wise (thing therefore, for them wM be to find sosne way to geit out of 'the. present, cal Wlthtout loss of preslbige. Tihe graidual ooolihUg of comttoeHitail support of the British conftenition, as the AmeriCam posStiion oomes to 'be better understood, must also (have a ahas tending effect on British arrogance. GreaJt Briltai/n will go flar to escape an open rupture with tthe UuSted States, iwben she lis moraUly certain that such a ruplture would be Russia's opportunity to do a gTeat many itfi'imgs fwhiidh would noit be exactly helpful ito British interests. With the admirable commission to investigate, and with the growtog succession Of British information, we believe thlat a just and honorable solution of the controversy will soon be discovered.

FARMS AND FARMERS.

302KE OOOD.NATUKED HINTS AS TO PASTURES AMD GRASS.

Strong Clay Land* Cannot Be Well Worked For Cereal Grains Unless They Are Underdralned.

The general practice of devoting jsuch lands as, cannot be advanltageoiusly worked with the ploy to the growth of grasses and the uses of pasturage is in all respects commendable. The lands that can always be profitably thus used are lands that are frequently under water, as salt or fresh waiter meadows, or the rich bottom lands upon a river bank: also all heavy, tenacious clays, and mountain or steep hillside land

Lands that are frequently inundated receive with each inundation a dressing of alluvial soil from the flowing waters, writes Aqricus in. the tShlcago Inter Ocean. The fertilizing matter thus deposited conducts greatly tto the luxuriant growth of ithe grass, and makes most excellent hay. Another advantage in keeping these lands in grass is found in the fact that the matted roots form a protection to the soU, preventing its being washed away by the overflown current, amd, besides, grass is not injured by frequent submersion, as other crops would surety bG

Sitronfe clay lands cannot be well worked for the cereal grains, unless they are undaxteained and well filled with manure, but these soils are, next to the bottom lands, the most profitable for grasses. These lands yield most-profitable at first, before they are broken up at all, as the vegetable mold on theit surface is one of the best soils possible for grass. When these lands are broken up by deep plowing, they should be well manured on the surface and heavily" seeded to grass. If any spots seem to show a deficiency of growth they should be resown and dressed with manure or compost until thie whole surface shows an unbroken growth of luxuriant grass.

The steep sides of hills should not be plowed, as through the channels made by the furrows not only the soluble matters but manv of the finer particles of the soil are washed out and carried far beyond reach. Such lands should be kept in permanent pasture, if not suitable for mowing. If fed off by sheep, they drop most of their manure on .the higher points, which is partially washed down and sustains the fertility of every part. There is still another .class of lands that should not be broken up for tillage. These are such as are filled with small stones, from the surface of which they have been cleared, but which plowing and harrowing will again bring to it and there leave a perpetual annoyance to the mower.

These lajst mentioned lands may be used advantageously for pasturage simply, feeding the flocks upon it, and never mowing the grass. Hay for winter use and for market can be raised upc a the lowlands first referred to, which, as a rule, are free from inundation during the summer and time of harvest. There is no objection to feeding off these meadows in early autumn, while the ground is dry and the sod firm. The roots of the grass isure rather benefitted than injured by the browsing and the tend is improved by the dropping from the cattle, and more particularly by sheep. It is economy to purchase hay at any price rather than to spring pasture meadows.

The general theory adopted in regard to pasture lands is that they are manured sufficiently »by the animals feeding on them. This opinion is only partially correct. Pastures wear out less than other lands, but when milk cows and working animals are fed upon them, they carry off much of the produce of the soil which is never again returned to it. Even the wool and carcasses of sheep, with the ordinary escape of the salts by the washing of the rains, will, after a long time, impoverish the land. How much more rapidly when much of the manure and all the milk, which is rich in all the elements of plants, is daily carried from the soil. To such an extent have the permanent clay pastures of Cheshire (in England), been impoverished, that it has been found necessary to manure them with crushed bones, which at once brought up their value more than 100 per cent. There ismuch phiosphate *of lime in milk, and this drawn from the soil, should be returned to-Jt itr the form of bones. Gypsum is also a valuable manure, and so are ashes and salt, restoring the mineral constituents of the soil, which are depleted by the growth of grass.

Meadowlands, from which the grass is mown each year, if not manured, are exhausted with much greater rapidity than pastures, though the deprecation is much more gradual than with tillage lands. There Is no greater mistake than to suppose they will keep in condition by taking off one annual crop only, and either pasturing the aftermath or leaving it to decay on the ground. By recurring to the table of thie ash of plants, it will be seen that the analysis of .hay there given shows oU"Br 6 per cent, while dried cloVer yields from 7 to 9 per cent of earthly matter. Every particle of this is essential to the success of the plant, and yet if the land produces at thie rate of .three tons per acre they are taken off to the amount of upward of 300 pounds per annum. No sils but such as are periodically" flooded with enriching waters can long endure such a drain. They must be renewed with thte proper manures. Ashes, lime, bones and gypsum, the latter to te especially used upon clover lands, should be used in due proportion, and animal or vegetable manures also. The best way to apply these is -to scatter them over the surface when the grass is just beginning a new growth in the spring, or with the first rains that oome after mowing. THie growing vegetation soon covers them and the showers wash the soluble matters into the roots: and even the gases that would otherwise ecape are immediatesly absorbed by the dense leaves and stalks which everywhere surround it. The loss of any kind of manure is trifling, even in a state otf active decomposition, when scattered broadcast under such circumstances.

EVOLUTION IN CATTLE.

Consumers NooLonger Want the F/ig Four Tear Old Steers. Time was, and not many years ago, when the big 4-year-old steer, weighing from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds, was the best selling animal at the leading stock markets of the country. Exporters wanted him, and the butchers also for their local trade. And some grand bunches of such steers have been marketed and shlown at the Chicago stock yards and the fat stock shows. But times change, and cattle change with them. Consumers will no longer buy this class of meats those steers furnished. They demand less fat, and younger and consequently more tender meat. The big steer has passed or is passing away, and is being succeeded by thie young 2-year-old. or even less, fed from the day he was calved to bring into condition for the market at the earliest moment possible. He is two years younger than his predecessor, and weighs about 30 per cent less. His cost per pound is much less If of good blood, because the feeder has had the advantage of his growth as well as in the added flesh upon his carcass. It is as sure as anything can be that the younger the age at which a steer can be put in the best shape for the block, the greater will be the margin of profit to the feeder and the greater his carcass will please the great bulk of consumers.

In feeding cattle, therefore, it is well to remember that early maturity as the result of good breeding and careful feeding is more than ever requisite for success in cattle feeding. The competition is closer, prices lower, and economy in food and time, the Items or greatest cost, should be given the most careful attention. While the profits will be less, it must be remembered that they will come quicker. As compared with twenty years ago, the time has been cut off one-half, and two young steers can be fed to a weight of 1,000 each cheaper than one can be fed to a weight of 2,000 pounds. Your returns, therefore,, will come in two years under the best conditions, instead of four as formerly. or three, as has been the rule until quite recently. But you must have a good animal tp start on, or your profits will never be realized even at tne present low prices of the coarse grains and feed stuffs. To feed a steer Is simply to put your grain and feed Into market at the very lowest price, while the good one will always pay better price for your feed than any ifl

EARLY MATURITY OF HOGS.

Spring Fig*, Fattened" in tihe Fall, K*k the Best Pork. There is not so much call now for hogs that: will keep on growing three or four years before they reach maturity, says the American Cultivator. She large hog has always coarser meat than the young pig, and the difference, we suspect, is because there is always some check to growth in cold weather. Spring pigs, fattened in the fall, will always make better pork than they will if ke*t later. In these times, too, the hog that weighs 200 to 250 pounds sells for a higher price per hundredweight than one that Is heavier. Hence the early maturing breeds that reach their full weight when 1 or 2 years old are now the favorites with farmers. But there is something to be said in favor of the heavyweights, Ir not alolwed to get too fat the late maturtnir hogs are better breeders, especially for dams. A cross of an early maturing boar with large, long bodied sow brings pigs that for fattening are betterthan tner breed alone. They will be larger at birth, and at 10 pounds more than the full bloods of either to 11 months will weigh thirty to fifty early or late maturing varieties. One reason why late maturing sows are better breeders is because they keep on growing until 3 or 4 years old. and therefore their food does nbt go to fat so much as that of the early maturing breeds, which never attain large size.

DEHORNING CATTLE.

Growth of Horns May be Prevented by the Use ef Caustic Potash. The agricultural experiment station at Stillwater, Okla., has twice dehorned a considerable number of cattle. In no case has any serious injury resulted. The director says: "The operation is vary painful for a time, but the animals apparently soon recover. In most instances there was some shrinkage in weight for a few days, although this might have been caused by a change in food, in part. Sevieral calves were dehOrned this fall, and seemed to suffer less than older steers, some of them not showing any shrinkage in weight. The growth of horns may be prevented by the application of caustic potash. This is preferably done before the calf is a month Tia. It is better to clip off some of the hair, wet the skin, and rub with the caustic directly over the budding horn or knob. Good judgment and some experience are necessary to determine just how much is needed. Too much causes needless suffering: too little will not prevent the growth of the liorns. When carefully attended to this plan is to be preferred to cutting or sawing the horns when the animal is older."

Tramps Bent a Room and Hold High Carnival. Word was sent to poffice headquarters yesterday afternoon itJhlait a gang of insulting hobos were holding high carni-. vaQ in a vajoan robin on Titppecanoe near Sixth street. A detail of poltee went to 'the place anld fbuird a patrol wiagon loaid of the (toughest specimens of humanity itihait has been .seen to Terre Haute 'im omainy a day. They were all cripples.lamd when ithey were unloaded and the crutches thrown into the jaiffl it looked Tike loading cord wood o»n a steaimboait. A few moments later another gaing wais (taken from 'thie house to jail. It was afterward-learned that the hobos had paid the rent on the house for a week i'n advance and were holding a sort of a convention. It was their indention to remain 'in the rtxwn un/tM Ithewea'ther moderated sufficiently for them to resume their journey. One of the 'tramps said the maim feature of yesterday's sessile® was 'the resolution passed by the hobos conidettnnimg Hicks' wea ther system.

There was an old stove in the room anirt as the tourists had stolen coal enough to last over night and had begged money enough during the day to supply itihem With an aibundanice of beer they were as happy as millionaires and about as drunk as oooild be an'd manage .their crotches with any measure of saJfety to 'themselves. They have been camping in that locality (for several 'days anid have been a source of intolerable attunoyamce to the residents. They were busy all day begging food and when refused they would become impudent. When sure there were no men afbout the house they would 'threaten ithe women anid frighten them until they would surrender almost anything in the provision line the hobos asked for.

They were keeping warm in Ithe old room .getting all they wanted to eaJt, and hlaid they mot 'been disturbed by 'the police lit lis 'believed ithe dodge would •not have adjourned till spirting, as thiey could easily hia-ve begged money «noug!h to pay rent on 'the old shell and make it a home for affil the tramps Who come •this way.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Th.« scientific results of forty-seven bttltaoa .Germany between June 1888, and February 1S95, are now being stxMted. In some of these voyages the grcaitest height yet reacted were recorded. Among the-facts discovered are: that the aar temperature above 4,000 metres (about 2% miles) to considerably lower thaai had been assumed that, contrary to previous belief, tlhe decrease is fairly uniform wu-th increasing height, and the isotherm of freeztog point fis found between 3,600 and 3,800 metres that the variation of temperature with the seasons is very small above 6,000 metres that the inversion of temperature during wnter, and at nffght, up to a height of 1,000 metries, appears to be a regular phenomenon and that the aiqueous vapor 4s unexpectedly small 1 to regions even moderately high.

In one sense Germany may be said to be the modern medicime purveyor of t.hf world, says the Independent. It was her chemists and doctors in tii-.e last ceatury who demonstrated the value of the minerals, mercury, arsenic, antimony and sulphur and now they have planmted a systematic attack on the vegetable kingdom. The Berlin Pharmaceutical society has established a cesitral office for extending the world's knowledge of -poisonous and healing plants, and they expect to receive reports from all parts of the world on the "botamilc, ohemfc»amd pharm a co-log cal discoveries im plants, of a healing or poisonous nature."

A bare-hole near 'Port J*ackson, New South Wales, has reached a depth of nearly 3,000 feet. It shows an increase in the earth's temperature of 1 degree F. Ln 80 feet, while the average in the Northern Hemisphere is 1 degree in 60 •feet.

A mummified cat found under a haymow has attracted a French writer. The drying df the skin to parchment has forced open the mouth in a horr.ble expression of paiin, and the hair has disappeared. The weight -as one-third of a pound, while a live cat of the size should weigh from 5% to 6% pounds.

Ba'ts in captivity have been found by J. D. Patten, am English artfst, to be easily fed on meal-worms when, flies and moths are not available, to be docile and easily managed, but to live not more than a 'few months. The common bat proves to be practically blind in light or darkmess, but the long-eared bait can see an*! hear better. When bats are asleep im the cold days of autumn they sometimes take as much as a quarter olf aji hour ito awaken. If one is'taken in the hamd, it lies quite still, and is dead cold ta 'the touch. On 'holdinig it to the ear a throbbing Is heard, 'beginning slowly with more than a second between the beats, then gradually qufakenrlng until it is .impossible to count the beats, while the warmth increases rapidly. At least the throbbing becomes a contiguous whirr, not unlike the purring of a cat, and the body leels quilte hot to the hand. Then, r&fiher suddenly, the throbibilng quiets down, slows somewhat, anid becomes almost inaudible. The bat coughs and sneezes, chatters a lii'ttle with his teeth, and begins to move about expecting to be fed. Inuring the long sleep of winter two of the ibaits under observation died, when it was found that the spleen was much enlarged—a fact whjch serves as a reminder that little is known of the organs ahd tiissues of aniknals during hibernation.

An extensive scheme of sanitary service is be'ing developed in India. An imperial bacterioliogilcal laboratory is to esta/blibhiefd at Agra, and an Imperial chemTcal laboratory in Calcutta. Healtti officers are to have six month's training in bacteriology special dfplomas in hygiene are to be granted by t'he colleges and 1,900 muasflciipali'tLes will be expected to appoint trained men for saniktary work. Smaller laboratories will probably be organized in. each of the great Indian presidencies With arrangements for giving six months* training to medical officers in the service.

The American oyster, says Prof. W. A. Her dm am, is more prolific tham the English, producing as many as 60,000,000 ova at a time. The oyster is thought to Tive about twenty years, those fittest for market being aflbout five years old.

The hulman skito in a coaidiMkxn of health may be inflamed by light of great intensity arid fin small-pox the already intfiamed skin seems tk be as sen- •. sitive to the chemJcaJ rays as the photogiuphic plate. This discovery has led to recent experiments 2n the exclusion of the actinic rays of sun-light from small-pox patients to prevent suppurotkxn and pitting. From an account by Dr. N. R. Ptnseh., of Copenhagen, it appears that the treatment should be commenced as early as possible, that the cheimtical rays should ibe carefully shut out by window glass otf a deep red color, or by very thick curtaiins that the pa1tient may Safely use candle light when taking his meals and that naitural daylight must not ibe admitted unftl the vesicles have dried up. This treatment does not interfere With any other that may be considered necessary. In several cases of unvaccinated children suffering from small-pox, one phyaician, at first skeptical as to the influence of the red light, Was surprised at the favoreible course of the disease as the vesicles did not suppurate, there was no secondary fever, and no permanent putting resulted.

Some ancdenft Mghways of the Mexican state of Mtohoacan, according to Baron von Brackle, appear to centre toward the Bay of Maruata, on the Pacific coast, and may have been used in the transportation otf copper and other mtoenaJS from the vJcimdty of Coalcoman. The roiads are straight, sfx or a seven 'feet wide, and paved with large unhetwn stones. Many of the stones have been removed Tor modern buildJmgB, but enough remain to maike it pos- ,v sible to trace out and map the entire system.

The globe would be about 400 feet In diameter and mountains a mSe high would appewr as elevations of about half an inch.
