Thinks it Endangers Religious Peace —Waiting on Vatican. Berlin, June 9.—Chancellor Von Beth- matt-F.follweg, replying to an interpella- tion in the Prussian Diet to -day, spoke with decided emphasis regarding the re- cently issued papal encyclical, which he construed as oondemnatory of. religious reformers. The Chancellor said: "The Papal encyclical contains judg- ments about reformers, and the refor- mation, and about the princes and the peoples connected therewith, which must hurt the re_igious, national • and moral feelings. This explains the pro- found emotion in political circles, the effects of which must endanger religi- ous eligious peace. "Immediately after the Latin text of the encyclical had been received I caus- ed representation to bo made to the Vat- ican by the German envoy who express- ed. the expectation of Germany that the curia would find a way to remedy the damage caused by the issuance of the encyclical. "The Vatican has not as yet replied, and therefore I must refrain from fur- ther comment except to say that I reply to the interpollation at this stage so as to let the German people know the pos- ition of the Government which has tak- en up the matter; and also to assure the house that the government is deter- mined to do everything to insure religi- ous peace in the land, that can be done in the national interests." SUING PERRY. One of Cooks' Explorers Wants $10, 000 Damages From Him. Berlin, June 13.—Commander Robert E. Peary, who was served here yester- day with papers ill a suit brought by Rudolph Franeke, left for London this morning. The expiorer had nothing to add today t: tail statement of last night that he had placed the matter of the litigation in the hands of united States Ambassador Hill. Francke was associated with Dr, Fred- erick A. Cook in the North Polar expe- dition, and alleges that Peary found him ill at Etah and took advantage of hi's condition to secure his collection or furs, walrus and narwhal teeth as the pries of transporting him homeward. Francke demands $10,000 as the value. 'of the Aretic products, which he olaims to have handed over to the commander. The suit was brought in the Berlin court Later it was learned that while 'here Commander Peary said to a friend that he would dentend ,that the German eouste bad. no jurisdiction in the mat- ter, as he had no property or domicile here. The case will come up on June 28. Mr. Peary has arranged to be represented itt eaurt by an .attaraey, t The weekly drol pingso of a flock of, say, 25 hens, when scrapfed from the roeseng platforms, should be mixed with about eight pounds of kainit or acid phosphate and a half peek of sawdust. If one desires a balanced fertilizer for corn and other hoed erop3, a mixture of equal parts of kainit and acid phos- phate could he used instead of either alone. Good dry meadow muck or peat would be equally as good as sawdust, if not better, to useas absorbent. Fresh poultry manure at the present values of fertilizers would be worth 60 cents per 100. Figures from different experiment stations wolud give tate pro- duct of 25 hens ' for the winter season of six months as 375 pounds from the roost droppings alone. Poultry manure is especially adapted as a top dressing for grass because of its ' high content of nitrogen in the form of ammonia compounds, which are nearly as quick in their effect as nitrate of soda. A ton of the manure preserved with saw- dust and chemicals' would be sufficient for an acre, when compared with a chem - cal formula for top dressing, On the same basis of comparison, 100 fowls running at large on en acre should in a summer season • of six menthe have added to its fertility the equivalent of at least 200 pounds of sulphate am- inonia, 100 pounds of high-grade acid Phosphate and 60 pounds of kainit. In France• parts of the carcass of a fowl can be purchased' in. market—legs, wings, or any part wanted. It is a good plan to work the same horses side by side without change as much as possible. One hors, soon be- comes accustomed to the other's ways, and both will do better work when the team is seldom broken. Horses of a team should be stalled close together when it is convenient and they are agreeable. . A mare that prod, s a strong, healthy foal every year le worth double the money ef one equally' as good' every other way .that produces a foal every other year. This is characteristic of some mares. When a breeder gets one of the latter kind he will do well to get rid. of her at the first favorable opportunity, unless he wants her for general use. A cow does not come o her highest and best flow of milk till about the fourth week after freshe'}ing. During these first weeks of ladeon she should not be given all she will,g eat, and_part of .the feed should be 1, a laxative nature. She may belt" *'�. eaaefull feed at the end of the fog 1�' el eek, when the flow will be at its b The cow with her first calf may not come to her fullest and best flow of milk until the fifth or sixth week, owing to the fact that bringing forth young for the first time is a more severe physical strain than later in life, hence a longer time for recovery from the weakness caused by gestation will be required. For this reason the young eow coming fresh should be fed and eared for more carefully than older cows at the same period. A cow does not need much room, but she should have enough apace for com- fort when she is lying down. The stall should be wide enough so that she can move with ease from side to side when she wishes. Where the }lead is confined in a stanchion there should be enough freedom for a cow to move her head and neck- and for reaching hay and other feed, for two or three feet from the centre of her head position. Give plenty of roots behind the cows for the atteuclant in milking and eleaning out the stable. The Missouri Experiment Station sum- marizes the value of the silo as follows: Silage keeps young stock thrifty and growing all winter. It produces fat beef more cheaply than does dry feed. It enables cows to produce milk and but- ter more economically. It is more con- veniently handled,than dry Wrier. The silo prevents waste of torn stalks in the manure when silage is fed. The silo will make palatable food of stuff that would not otherwise be eaten. It enables the farmer to preserve food which matures at a rainy time of the. year, when dry would be next to im- possible. It is the most economical method of supplying food for the stock during the hot, dry periods in summer, when the pasture is short. • The laying lien is not apt to become overfat. Nevertheless, it is a mistake to keep her on a dint of corn, expecting her to manufacture eggs from that article. Corn is no egg ,food. ♦90 DAIRY COW QUERIES Department of Agriculture, . office of the Dairy and Cold Storage Com- missioner. What is the object in keeping a oow? Is it simply to consume the crops grown in the fields? Is it to supply home-made fertil- izer fbr the farm? Is it to give the hired man another choreP Zs it not rather to produce plenty ef good milk? To bo of real service to mankind by converting feed that he cannot wes into nourishing, appetizing food? While being kept for this purpose does sbis earn a profit? Does she pay for her keep? Would you be better off if you sold the feed instead of keeping some of the cows that you now have making a pretence of using its profitably? Does each one of your COWS pro- duce milk at a cheaper rate per hun- dred pounds than the factory pays? Does each oow in your herd pro- duce milk or butterfat at a good pro- fit above the post of feed? Do you think so or just make a guess at it, or do you know for cer- tain? How else is your labor to be paid for.? Do you keep records so as to find out these things, or are you content to keep a few poor oowa in a behind - the -times style? Men who used to get only 3,500 lbs.. of milk and 133 lbs, fat per cow, are now getting 4,900 lbs, of milk and 186 lbs. fat, since beginning to keep reoords. Would you not be glad to obtain a similar increase of over 40 par Dent.? Then keep records. — C. P. W. THE UTTL O1E3 Superintendent Kelso Tells of Ne- glecteo. in His Annual Report. - Children Deliberately Put Out of the Way—Starved to Death, Toronto report: In his seventeenth annual report, Mr. J. J. Kelso, Provin- cial Secretary of Neglected Children, states that during the present year the Children's Aid Societies of the Province have found homes for 605 ehildren and of this number 468 were Protestant and 137 were Roman Catholics. The head- quarters office in the Parliament build- ings found homes for 155 Protestant little ones and 40 Roman Catholics. The Ottawa society has a record of 81, Ber- lin of 73. Belleville of 34, Toronto of 30, Guelph of 2:1; and Hamilton 19. Of those placed by the local societies, 220 were girls and 185 were boys. by the central office. 94 boys and 66 girls. "These figures are creditable, with ex- ception perhaps of those of Toronto, where the Shelter is overcrowded and over 1,300 children are in, public insti- tutions," remarks Mr. Kelso. He sug- gests that the society and civic authori- ties plan a speoial home finding cam- paign to .relieve the condition ,in To- ronto. "In epite of all our laws for the pro- tection of children it still seems neces- sary to confess that there is rnuchecare- lessness and insufficiency in our meth- ods of protecting infant life," says Mr. Kelso. `While the c'hild born in wedlock is lovingly and carefully tended, the un- fortunate little ones whose coming into the world is regarded as a misfortune and disgrace is traded away to anyone who will assume the burden. Recent exposures and police court trials reveal the heartlessness with which the traffic in infants is carried on. and the need that constantly exists for vigilance and. insistence on right methods. "To prevent abuses, every illegitimate child should be recorded and supervised by competent authority until it is at - least one year old. There might be exceptions, of course. where a child has been adopted by reliable parties, but the rule is one that should be observed ev- erywhere if we desire to stop the infant murder that is so prevailent. Ae few of these infants are deliberately put out of the way, but many others are slowly starved and neglected in s.•ueh a man- ner as to bring about death in a slower but even more cruel manner." CHINESE RUSH. Many Coming to Canada in Case Admission Fee is Raised. Ottawa, June 13. ---Recently there has been a very a great increase in num- ber of Chinese arriving at Victoria and Vancouver. Every steamer from the Orient is bringing the full allow- ance of Chinese who pay the five hundred dollar admission fee and enter Canada. It is believed that a report has been circulated throughout the Chinese coast towns that Canada contemplates raising the admission to a thousand dollars and the rush has been started among Chinese who want to enter Canada before the entrance fee goes up. TO STOP BRIDGE. Notice of Bill Given in Louisiana As - se nbly to Suppress Game.

Berlin, June 13.—Pastor Itolte hue given to the newspapers an account of a recent conversation he had with the Kai- ser, witidh is attracting wide attention, His Majesty is quoted as saying: "1 often read the Bibie. It is a pleas- ure to read it every night. A Bible lies on.a table at my bedside; I cannot un- derstand how so many people exist who do not attend to God's word. It is the source from which I draw strength and ligh1." The Fanperor is also represented as saying that he liked giving Bibles to Catholics. The essential difference be- tween them and Protestants was that the latter had only one mediator be- tween God and themselves, while the Catholics hall many mediators, "1 seek consolation therein in the hour of sorrow and depression and find com- fort. I cern convinced that many who have neglected religion and have fallen from God will regain their faith and feel the need of communion with the Al. in igh ty."
