FOR THE NEGRO PREACHERS.
' Sum of $2,000,000 to Be Raised for
1 Their Education.
Kb Fifteen clergymen and elders inter'
ested in the work of education of the
southern negro preachers have given
i&y a dinner in New York to Rev. G. S.
|j|-. Miller, superintendent of the John C.
Pp- Martin fund. This fund, which ap?proximates
$2,000,000, is to be used for
v- educating negro clergymen of all deig,
" nominations. It is the ultimate intention
to bring the work to a focus In a
* Chautauqua for southern negroes.
pt* X t The Rev. Mr. Miller hag been or&||
ganizing Bible institutes for a year. He
has completed the work in Arkansas
and made a beginning in Georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee. "We
jj?|; have 10.000 students now," he said,
uBHd hope to have 30,000 before we
are through. The clergymen are eager
to learn and they pass the knowledge
straight on to their congregations The
people of the south are with us; they
' approve of this method of uplifting the
negro.

LAWS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Senate Passes Bill Relating to Our Insular
Possessions After an
Extended Debate.
A Washington special says: The
senate Friday, by a vote of 44 to 23,
passed the Philippines civil government
bill. The final vote was preceded
by the presentation of many
amtuumems anu u. gcjutuai uis><juas>nj.a
of them as weii as of the provisions of
the bill. The discussion was conhned
quite generally to the merits of the
measure. On some of the amendments
suggested by democratic senators several
western republicans voted in the
affirmative, but Mr. McCumber was
the only republican who voted with
the democrats against the hnai passage
of the bill.
The most notable change made during
the day was the lowering of the
rate of interest on railroad bonds to be
guaranteed by the Philippine government
from 4 to 5 per cent.
The bill as passed exempts from
taxation all bonds issued by the Philippine
and Porto Rico governments;
authorizes municipalities in the Philippines
to incur a bonded indebtedness
amounting to 5 per cent of the assessed
valuation of their property at
5 per cent interest; authorizes the
Philippine government to guarantee
the payment of interest on railroad
bonds at the rate of 4 per cent per annum;
provides for the administration
of the immigration laws by the Philip
pine laws; establishes a system for
the location and patenting of mineral,
coal and saline lands; fixes the metric
system for the islands and gives the
civil governor the title of governorgeneral.
Curing the day Mr. Beveridge, from
the committee on territories, reported
the statehood bill, and he will make
a motion on the first day that the senate
convenes in January that the consideration
of the bill shall be entered
on at once.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill the provision exempting bonds
from taxation met with opposition
from Mr. Gorman, who contended the
exemption was wrong in principle. Mr.
Carmack said be was opposed to the
railroad bond provision because it
would make it more difficult for the
United States to get out of the Philippines.
He quoted the president's hope
that our Cuban policy might at some
time be adopted in the Philippines.
This he characterized as a renunciation
of the republican policy, and in
line with the democratic platform.
"We welcome the president to the
ranks of the anti-imperialists," he said, j
"He is all if not quite eligible to }
membership in the Boston anti-imperialist
league."
The senate then adjourned until
Monday.
MAY SETTLE BIG STRIKE.
Operators and Workers at Fall River
to Hold Conference.
uenewea nope 01 a seuiemeni 01 me
prolonged cotton mill strike in Fall
River, Mass, was given Friday night
by the announcement that another
conference had been arranged between
representatives of the strikers and the
mill owners.
It is understood that every effort
will be made to put an end to the
strike which has thrown nearly 26,000
operatives out of employment and
been attended with much suffering.
President Golden, of the United Textile
Council, and Secretary Albert Kibbert,
returned Friday night from New
York, where they met President Samuel
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor. The conditions in the
local mills were explained to Mr.
Gompers. Soon after President Golden
and Secretary Hibbert returned to
the city a meeting of the textile council
was called and at its conclusion the
decision of the strikers to meet the
mill owners was announced. The conference
was arranged by persons not
directly interested in the strike.

WILSON'S IRE AROUSED.
Secretary of Agriculture Takes Offense
at Resolution of Inquiry
Introduced by Livingston.
j A Washington special says; Congressman
Livingston, with his resolution
to investigate the governmnt cotton
estimate which sent the price of
i cotton down, has stirred up a veritable
hornet's nest about the agricultural
department.
Secretary Wilson and Statistician
Hyde are exceedingly wroth over the
attemtpt to secure the sources of information
on which the disastrous estimate
was made, and they have besought
the agricultural committee of
congress to report adversely on the
Livingston resolution. The committee
members, however, assured Mr. Livingston
that they would report favori
ably and thereby secure the de3irsd
i information for congress to consider
when it reconvenes after the holidays.
In a colloquy before the committee
Mr Livincston drew out of Mr. Hyde
. the information that the bureau has
certain sources of information upon
which the cotton estimate is based.
They ar? from bankers and precinct
reports.
The point Mr. Livingston now wishes
to establish is which one of these
sources is used as the most competent
in view of their widely varying re
ports. It is this information which
certain cotton experts oelieve will create
a sensation when it is disclosed.
Statistician Hyde, in a moment of anger
before the committee, declared
that the publication of the sources of
information would have a serious and
I widespread effect, whereupon Secrej
tary Wilson, who was present, immedii
ately flew into a rage and demanded
an executive session for further discussion
of the subject. Therefore, interesting
developments are expected
when congress reconvenes.

Teacliins Animals to Eat.
Young animals tliat have never
passed a winter in the feed lot know
of no other food but green pasture.
If they are not taught to eat while on
<rrp<s<s thpv must hp stnrvpd to tlrv feed
when winter approaches. Starving
is indeed expensive under any condition
and is especially so with young
animals. The check in growth, the
going backward may not be overcome
until grass comes again and the work
and food given for winter goes for
naught. A gradual change by giving
fodder and grain while on grass is
much preferable to sudden changes.
Study the Matter.
A few days ago an Indiana cattle
grower marketed a few carloads of
cattle weighing over 1300 pounds per
head at $0.10. On the same day another
with a lot of cattle of about the
same weight and general appearance
could obtain only $5.50. The beef cattle
expert, who was able to see the
thick mottled meat as the first lot appeared,
saw a larger profit from the
block than he did in the cheaper lor.
They were both grade Shorthorns, and
the difference was only in the feeding.
In view of these things, occurring almost
every day in the great markets,
it is well that the agricultural colleges
have taken up the subject of cattle
feeding, and are teaching students
how necessarv it is to feed orooerlv in
order to obtain top prices in the market.
The difference of sixty cents per
100 pounds on cattle weighing 1300 to
1500 is too large a loss, when it may
be avoided by learning how to feed
properly and in a way requiring no
more time or labor, nor with feed-j
stuffs costing any more. It is a matter
worth studying.?Indiana Farmer.
Mutton Chops.
Sulphur, or snuff, rubbed through
the fleece will destroy ticks.
The best single grain for breeding
sheep is oats. Bran is also good for
breeding ewes to stimulate them and
produce strong lambs.
Corn should be restricted to the fattening
flock, and then must be strong
with a nitrogenous food such as clover
hay. .
Timothy hay is. not suited to the
heeds of the sheep; digestive disorders
occur when timothy hay is fed, which
often result in the loss of the sheep.
Clover and mixed hay may be fed to
the flock with good results.
Roots, when fed with grain, produce
choice mutton. The sheep may be
herded on the root crop in the field,
after which the cups can be pulled
and stored before frost.
A few neglected sheep will eat up
the profit of several good ones. Get
rid of the unprofitable ones and give
the others good care.
Each sheep should be allowed five
feet floor space and eighteen inches to
two feet at the rack.
The troughs for grain feeding should
be ten to twelve inches wide so that
the sheep must eat slowly.
Racks which prevent the chaff from
getting in tne wool snouiu oe useti.
A rack consisting of vertical slats,
with a moderate slant, placed hbout
two inches apart, will keep the fleece
clean, as little or no hay is placed over
the sheep's backs. The back of the
rack may be given a slant to allow
room for sufficient cay.
It is best in feeding not to carry the
hay over the sheep's backs; it can be
dropped from above to the racks, or
placed in the racks from the ends or
alleys.
Drinking places should be provided
which allow fresh water to be kept
before the flock.?Farm Journal.
Horse Talk.
The greatest watchfulness and common
sense should be used in the care
and feeding of the weanlings.
They should have an abundance of
nourishing food, plenty of sunshine
and exercise.
Colts suffer sometimes from teething,
and at such times they may run
down so much in condition that serious
setback may result.
Crushed oats and barley steamed,
also cooked roots mixed with ground
grain and wheat bran, are very nourishing
and should be fed.
A little ground flaxseed should always
be added to the ration.
If the colts do not thrive as they
6hculd, skimmed milk should be given
them dailv.
A good allowance of bright clover
bay should be given them, but not all
they will eat.
An oversupply will stuff the digestive
tract and cause dyspepsia.
Liberal feeding must be accompanied
by plenty of exercise in the open air.
Every fair day should be spent in
the paddock or field.
In cases where a weanling is weak
and thin, whole cow's milk can be fed
with profit.
The stalls should be k^pt clean, level
and well littered with bright straw
free from dust. Uneven and slippery
floors may easily ruin a most promising
colt.
Handle them quietly and carefully
every day as you move around them,
always offering a piece of apple or sugar.
It will pay to raise mules. I noticed
a magnificent pair of mules. Upon inquiry
I found that they were three
years old and cost $SOO.
I should say they were Percheron
mares. They were jet black and well
matched. Some of our folks would
make a success in this industry.?

kind, such as corn.
The seed of Kafflr corn is excellent - ^
as an exercise grain. It is small and*> >.;?
hard to find, and keeps the fowls

five inches of chopped straw.
A little linseed meal is a help at

a pailful of soft feed.
The grain has been cut and carted,
Now is the time to give the young pul- _ o'.
lets a change; it will do them a good #
deal of good, and cost less for feeding,
build up large frames, and fit the
young birds for winter laying. They
should be slrut in the house over night, *~~+ \
and next morning be moved out on to .
the stubble. A piece of six foot wire
netting should be placed around the . >
house for a day or so, until the birds get
used to their new quarters. The M
house should be moved frequently; one
on wheels is best tot the purpose. They > .
require very little feeding; in fact;
they need only to^be* fed when-* the > j
weather is wet, as they cannot then
go about in search of food. If farmers
knew the value of their stubbles for
this purpose, I think more would make *
use of them. They not only do the *
birds good, but it improves the land
considerably, as they find a large
amount of insects and slugs, which v
would do harm to the growing crop
next year. Where the late chickens f
have been hatched, if they can be pot '-M&
on the stnbbles, they will grow much
faster and keep more healthy.

which make his business a success, t
I might write you and tell you what
kind of a stanchion I thought was best
and when you got it you might think ^
differently and wish you had not done
as I advised you to do. While It is > . ^
the object and aim of this journal to
aid its subscribers in every way It
can, it is not its purpose to lay down
rules to govern them in their business *
projects. The purpose is more to lend
an aiding hand and strive to help them
who are striving to help themselves.?
