Russia has «on in the contest for a site for a coalipg station and naval hospital at Masampho, in Korea, thus marking another step toward the completion of her strategic defences against any power that may dispute her paramountcy in North China and the Hermit Kingdom. As was to be expected, the action has caused con- siderable stir both in England and Japan, in the former because it is deemed a flagrant violation of the official pledges of Russia in 1886 not to acquire any territory whatever in Korea. It is true that in reply to guemions in the Commons on the subject, the Salisbury government asserted that as Masampho is a treaty port, the right coded by Korea to Russia would nOt limit those of tther nations, and, moreover, that the northern power had Igre-ed never to ask for conâ€" sessions on the opposite mainland or on the neighboring islands. But as it was admitted that the government had not yet received the text of the agreement, and it is known that Rus- ria’s demand was for the purchase of 170 acres of land on the harbor front, and that she now insists on the right to land trOOps there, there seems lit- tle doubt that she has acquired Korean territory. . England being preoccupied else- where, she has secured a naval base on the southern coast of the Korean peninsula which will prevent‘ her sea route between Vladivostok and Port 1 LArthur from being cut off by Japan, ' which holds the opposite side of the Korean Straits, and has fortified the island of Tsushima. At the same time she has insured the safety of the over- land connections between the two Rus- sian bases by repeating at Masampho the demands for the landing of troops which, made at Port Arthur, secured to her the virtual possession of Man- ehuria. It is this phase of the matter the fact that with :1 foothold thus tes’ta Olishtd by Russia in Korea, Japan’s hope of securing such a hold upon the peninsula as will permit its use as areservoir for the overspill of her industrial population, and so far as possible its political conâ€" trol is seriously threatened, that has caused so much stir in Tokyo. The forty-four millions of Japanese :i re already pressing closely on the means of subsistence and the relief promised by the acquisition of the great island 9"- of Eormosa has proved illusory, the Japanese being unable to endure the tropical climate. As it is improbable that Japan can i follow England’s example, and live by the expansion other manufactures, because (if the lack of capital, and be- cause the market which she might have found in northern China and Munchuria promises to be cut off by ! Russia, some cultivatable oversea l territory must be found for her ‘ surplus population. Only in 'Korea,i which can support twice its present '- [Opulation of ten millions, can such an arable area be obtained, together with a permanent market for such manufactured articles as Japan may‘; produce. But as Japanese control of i Korea would menace Russia’s supre-} macy in North China, an ultimate con- 1 flier for the possession of the peninsula ‘ seems inevitable, and it is only post- zoned now by the protocol of Nissi- Rusen of 1838, under which Russia agrees not to interfere with the deve- lopment of Japanese commerce and industry in Korea. Whether the Tokyo government will see in the Russian occupation of Musampho a violation of the terms of that convention to \\ hl('h it cannot submit, remains to be seen. but it is intimated that the approaching naval manoeuvers may be turned into a naval demonstration. ._p~.â€"â€"_ . -._. l The Animals Pram 0m- Sorth-Wcsl Shop the Trials of Campaigning “'cll. Mr. George Lane. of Calgary, NW. T., has received a letter from one of the veterinary staff of the Second Canadian Contingent, in which the following passage occurs: "Out of the forty horses purchased from you only two casualties have taken place, one dying of sunstroke and another of dysentery. Our march of 600 miles was made under the most unfavorable conditions for horses. and I think I am not en- larging on the truth when I say that no other class of horses in the world could have. stood the misery and hardship: which our North-“'est horsesw-s-nt through since they leftl Halifax.

I wish to emphasize the feet that milch cows should be kept separate from other domestic animals, both in the stable and pasture. This is not a matter of sentiment, but of practical business, as by thus doing more and better milk will' be obtain- ed. Too often when a cow stable is constructed; no other provision is made for the shelter of calves, horses, and perhaps pigs! I have even seen hens roosting on the poor cow’s backs. What can you expect from such a medley? Well, all the other animals and fowls will probably do well ex- cept the milch cattle. In the first place the bleating of young calves distressos their mothers, and cause the milk flow to become erratic. They should be kept in an- other building, entirely separate from the cow stable, out of sight and sound. The smell of horses and pigs in the same apartment is particularly obnoxious to cows, while the danger to milk quality thereby is incalcul- able. Cows are largely what man makes them. and so their environment should be of the best. Farmers carrying on mixed stock raising as well as general agricul- ture are apt to keep all kinds of cat- tle in the common pasture, to the detriment of dairy interests. Such men often wonder why their milch stock never can be made to pay “like they read of in the farm papers.” Is sfiéEEREn TERRIBLE AGONY Dug T0 KIDNEY AND LIVER , ‘ TROUBLE. M»!

'Mr. Albert Fisher, accountant at Payne’s cigar factory, Granby, Que., is known to almost every resident of; the town, and is held in the highest esteen by all who know him. In con- versation with the editor of the Mail recently, something was said con- cerning Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, when Mr. Fisher remarked that he had found these pills a very valuable‘ medicine. It was suggested that he should make his experience known, and to this be readily consented, handing to the Mail the following letter for publication :â€" l Granby, March 16th, 1900. i In justice to Dr. Williams’ Pink lPills, 1 think ii my duty, in view of l éwhat they have done for me, to add ', my testimonial to the many which I ‘huve seen in print.

A young dairy friend of mine once made the sad mistake of putting his ashes and pigs in the same enclosure. He supposed that by so doing he was killing two birds with one stone, but the result was most disappointing. The calves were soon taken with the scours, and he had some most valuable young heifer ones too, and despite ex- tra slopping with milk and rations of oil‘meal, they drooped and constant- ly ‘définned. Then he placed them in a pasture far removed from the swine, and they soon began to re- cuperate. However, what was lost at the beginning was never fully re- gained that season so you see how costly the experience was. Cows naturally are fastidious about the water they drink and they should not be compelled to fre- quent a watering place used in com- mon by other domestic animals. I consider that the purity and abund- ance of the water supply has as much to do with assuring dairy success as does the quality and amount of food given to the cows. If you possess any dairy interests at all, do not let the rights and privileges of the milch cat- tle be in any manner infringed upon. Do not let other stock crowd upon them either in the stable or pasture, as it cannot be allowed without seri- ous detriment to your milk yield. 'While a good many farmers consid- er lightning rods a delusion and a. snare, yet the investigations of scien- tists prove that when properly put up and grounded they are of great pro- tection to buildings. The best rods are made of copper, aluminum or brass. but copper is generally used. It is cheaper and the best conductor. Aluminum is also a good conductor and the low price at which it is pro- duced compared with a few years ago seems destined to bring it into favor for this purpose. The best form of rod is that of a' ribbon. say 1-8 of an inch thick by 3-4 or 1 inch wide. In rodding a building the points should be not over 40 it. apart and stand 6 ft. above the roof. They should be connected along the ridge and the rods run to the ground on each end of the build- ing. Sharp turns must be avoided in erecting 11 condunor, for electrical charges prefer to go in a straight line through the air rather than turn corners. The rods can be raised above the roof and away from the building by glass or porcelain insula- tors. l l 4 Unless the wire is well grounded; the equipment will! not prove satis- factory. The conductor should be at- tached to a ground plate of copper having at least 25 sq. ft. of surface, including both sides. An old copper boiler flattened out makes a cheap and effective ground plate. This must be buried in damp earth and if possible should be located near a spring or stream. If the rods are also connected to the water pipes a bet- ter ground connection will be made. Moist soil is the only kind which will conduct electricity, and if the place cannot be put in soil that is naturally moist, provision must be made to wet i it occasionally. THE USE OF LIGHTNING RODS. In very warm weather and when] horses are doing heavy work, such as! drawing the binder, it is excellent? practice to take water to the field and ‘ water the horses two or three times in the course of a half day. This is very little trouble and is of wonder ful help to the team besides being humane. This can be accomplished by placing a barrel on a low sled. drawing it to a conVenienL point in Lthe field and wrapping the barrel with wet gunny sucks. The water can thus be kept reasonably cool for half a d A SURE WAY.

"If the courts fail, science may be depended upon to knock out the ice trusts,” says a chemist in the Kan- sas City Star. “I venture the predic- tion that the average well to do fam- ily will be making its own ice in- side the next two years. For a long time past a number of the cleverest inventors in the coun- try have been trying to devise a small, compact ice machine, with a capacity of from 50 to 500 pounds a day, that can be operated by any domestic servant, and they have made sufficient progress to bring suc- cess clearly in view. It is an in- teresting fact that nearly all the re- markable improvements which have been made in large commercial ma- chines during the last two or three: years have suggested themselves in this tireless search for a practical household apparatus. “When I say that. success is in sight, I mean that all the most serious pro- blems have been solved,the difficul- ties that remain to be overcome are purely mechanical. As a matter of fact, four or five small machines are already in the market, but none of them quite meets the requirements. The ideal apparatus for use in cities iwill probably obtain its power from an incandescent lamp socket, just like the ordinary electric fan. The !cook will fill up the receiver with iwater, make the connection and go about her business. “There is nothing Utopian aboutl this little forecast. Private ice plants are already practical for very small commercial concernsâ€"restau- rants, confectioners, etc..-â€"and the household machine is one of the adâ€" vances along the line of domestic ecoâ€" nomy to which we may look forward with absolute confidence. By the by,- one of the inventors who is peg-i ging away at the problem is a New Orleans man, and I was told lately that he h ld turned out a very success. ful working model. I have said no- thing about liquid air, because that strange product has proven so tricky {and intractable that it is risky to lventure any predictions as to what may or may not be done with it.
