CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
%Vhat the Allies Will Exact From
Germany and Austria.
p
The peace treaty which will end
the present war will be imposed on
Germany and Austria by the three
allied powers -Great Britain, Rus-
sia and -France--who will be actu-
ated by the following prinoiples
First -A war indemnity which will
represent the de,i ages caused by
the war, Second -As regards ter-
ritorial llequisitions, the allies will
show disinterestedness. Third -All
other considerations will be subor-
dinated to this one -viz., tale elim-
ination of the causes of future war -
fore. Fourth -This will be the sole
objeot in view in the reorganization
of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Fifth -In 'bringing about this reor-
ganization the allies will take ac-
count of the groups called national-
ities, but without giving them the
fictitious importance attributed to
them by political anthropology...
In order that is treaty have legal
force there must be is mandatory
whose duty it shall be to see that
the stipulations of the treaty be
strictly carried out, writes Yves
Yuyot in North American Review.
In 1815, for instance, 't'he Triple Al-
liance first and the Quadruple Al-
liance afterward undertook this
task, and in the present instance
the three allies will have to enter
into a similar agreement and dis-
tribute the roles between them, so
that if one of the conquered powers
should try to escape the conse-
quences of its defeat it will imme-
diately find itself in such a• position
that a single injunction will suffice
to obtain strict observance of the
treaty,

rangements which may guarantee a

class, "Why, Doris, I am ashamed
of you!" exclaimed the mother,
"Why don't you study harder and
try to get away from the foot of
your climes?" "It ain'b my fault,"
replied Doris in tones of injured in-

always 'been at the foot has left

Size of the Farmer's JLorse'
Neither the massive drafter nor
the diminutive pony .are What the
average farmer needs. Being an
average Tuan he wants a medium
sized ]gorse, one that will do farm
and road work comibined, One that
will draw .a plow, barrow or wagon
and possibly a oarl•iage or buggy,
for the average farmer these days
goes to church, pays some 80621
visits and likewise goes to the noun•
try town, courtlhouse or ,post office
pretty regularly writes Mr, J. M.
Bell. -
An 1,300 ore 2,000 ,pound drafter
won't fill the bill for these varied
requirements; neither 'will a. 700
or 800 pound scrub,
The average farmer wants some-
thing 'betwixt and between, as the
saying is, I should say from 1,200
to 1,400 pounds -a team well built,
with some snap and spirit, one that
the owner or the hired man will
hold the reins over with a feeling of
pride and pleasure. Let the large
manufacturing concerns in the city
use the huge drafters.
I knew a team of 1,100 pounds
horses some years ae,>. One man
drove them .consecutively for nine
years hauling cord wood in the' sum-
mer and fall mouths. Both of these
horses were by sires who had a lib-
eral strain of thoroughbred blood
in their veins.
They did farm work regularly un-
til corn was laid. then they were
put to hauling on the road. They
were true and staunch draft horses,
were never known to get stalled ,but
once in nineyears, apd they were
never arty. with a Whip,
After 23 years of age each they
were serviceably sound and were
full of life,'
Think of it: Twenty-one years
of hard regular service and still
able to earn their feed. They were
of the weight, size and breeding,
and, :besides, had been well taken
care of all their lives.
I know a yol;ng farmer' this year
who is starting out and •vho b aught
two heavy, awkward drafters .and
also a 1,000 pound mare of goofs
breeding. He worked the mare in
the tease with the two big fellows
and whenever he had occasion to
take a, trip in his buggy, always
drove the mate, letting the others
rest, still she held her own and
kept in good order.
Too. much has been written and
said advising the average farmer bo
use heavy drafters. Let 'him sell
them at big ',prices and use a mors
medium-sized horse on the farm.
One year's experience will show
him that lie is right.
Whitewash.
Whitewash is the -cheapest of all
paints for farm purposes and may
be used either for exterior or in-
terior surfaces. It can be made by
slaking about ten pounds of quick-
lime in a pail with two -gallons of
water, covering the pail with cloth
or burlap, and .allowing it to slake
for one hoar. Water is then added
to !bring the whitewash to a con-
sistency which may be applied
readily.
A waterproof whitewash for ex•
terior surfaces may made as fol-
low s : (1) Slake one Ibnsltel of quick-
lime in kwelve gallons of hot water;
(2) dissolve two pounds of common
salt and one pound of sulphate of
zinc in two gallons of 'boiling wa-
ter ; pour (2) into (1), then add two
gallons of skim milk and mix thor-
oughly, Whitewash is spread light-
ly over the surface with a broad
brash.
