Our Relations With Germany.

WASHINGTON. December 23.-The an
nual report of Jacob Mueller, United States
Consul General at Frankfort-cn-the-M Main,
Germany, has been received at the State
Department. He calls attention to the re-
dictionary tendencies prevailing in that
country on the industrial and commercial
relations with the United States, which
tendencies. he says, explain the i'll will
against the United States. They dread
American hogs, wheat and imports gen.
orally, but still more the importation of
American ideas. Not only is the tendency
to refrigeration noticeable in the politi-
cal, economic and religious spheres Of
life. but the barriers existing be-
tween mankind are also fostered and
multiplied to such all extent that the
spirit of caste is again prominent and the
feudal system resurrected. He aliudes to
these tendencies as the principal reason for
the prevailing anti-Anericanism, and in
order that this Government may be prepared
not to anticipate from official Germany or
Austria. hostile as they are to American
liberty and prosperity, any gratuitious con-
cessions. The Consul reports that the de-
pressed state of trade and industry in Ger.
many has continued during the past year.

Wnole.Milk Cheese.

There is only one way to make good
cheese and that is to use the whole milk.
Skimming the milk in the morning and
then adding that of the evening to it
will not produce a good article. Nor
can farmers or ereameries afford to
make poor cheese at the present time,
as the markets are full of it and prices
down. There is. however, fair de-
mand for whole-milk cheese. and it is
scarce. Where buyers have been as
sured of procuring good cheese they
have not failed to take advantage of
the opportunity, and those who make .
specially of manufacturing full cream
cheese will soon have the field to them.
selves, as the skim-milk article has met
with such disfavOr on the part of buy
ers as to cause quite panic among that
class, they being foolish enough to sup
pose they could palm off any kind Of
stuff as pure cheese. Even the addition
of neutral lard did not give it value,
and in future less inferior cheese Will
be placed on the market.-Far7a, Field
and Stockman

If farmer thinks that carding
his cows does no good. ''says a Con-
necticut dairyman, ''let him single out
one animal and card her every day for
. month. At the end of that time he
will see difference enough in favor of
the carded COW to convince him of its
utility"
The American people love butter,
and they despise cheese, and with good
reason; for the green, raw, curdy
cheeses which almost alone are kept
on sale in western markets are, with
Bologna sausage and sour-krout, the
most indigestible of edible things. which
no one can persist in using without be-
coming confirmed and hopeless dys-
peptic.-The Indmstrialist.
"A friend of Jerseys and other small
breeds of cattle says: 'Better keep a
COW that is worth but little for beef,
that will give you fifty dollars or seventy
five dollars a year in dairy products.
than to keep a beef animal that will yield
only twenty dollars to thirty dollars q
year, because in the end she will sell
for few more dollars to the butcher.
A dairy cow should not be considered
at all from beef producing point Of
view. Western Rural.
Skim milk, says Prof. L. B. Arnold,
when used alone. forms q more one
sided diet than milk in any other form.
it can be better tolerated by the young
and growing than by the old, but it is
unsuited to either and should be used
in connection with foods that are drier
and richer in starch, sugar or fat.
Used in this way it can be made to
form part of a perfectly wholesome diet.
1t is better suited for young domestic
animals than for human use.-Hodrd's
Dairyman.
Temperature is one of the most i'm
portant things in the management of
the dairy. By neglect of it, one meets
with the greatest difficulties. In the
winter these difficulties often quite pre-
vent the making of butter, or if the
butter can be made at all, the quality
is inferior and at times so poor rs to
make it unstable. Winter dairying,
upon this account. can be made easier
and more profitable than summer dairy
ing, because the right temperature can
be better and more cheaply maintained
by means of fire in the dairyroom. in
cold weather, than by ice in tine hot
weather.-Nontreal Witness.

COWBOYS AND INDIANS.

The Indians Of New Mexico Complain q
the Cowboys-An Uneasy Feeling.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, December a.
The Navajo Indians living oH the reservar
ton about one hundred miles from this
city are getting vety restless, and in spite
Of the fact that they own an immense
amount Of property In hocks Of sheep and
herds Of cattle, are liable to break out and
cause another Indian war, and far more
bloody one than that now in progress. from
the fact that they number very close to
5000 warriors and arc well armed with the
latest and most improved weapons and am-
munition and have grievance. 1t seems
that every once in while few Of this
tribe of Indians wander Of their resesva-
ton and take hunting or fishing trip, or
sometimes 90 to neighboring towns to
trade horses and transact other busi-
ness, get their Gil of the fire.water of
the white man and do a. any other race Of
people would do on an excursion. It has
been the practice, however. for the cattle
herders and cowboys, whenever they find
these Indians OF their base, 80 to speak. to
pick a quarrel with them on some slight
pretext, such as muddying waterhole at
which they let their horses slake their
thirst, and il then they showed the slightest
intention of talking back or endeavor to
take their own part the revolver comes into
play. Just such an instance as this oc-
Cured few days ago by which two per-
fectly peaceful Navaj0s were killed, and
indeed SO frequent have these killings be-
come that the Indians are getting mad.
Governor Slower of this city has received q
letter from the manager Of his branch estab-
lishment, which is situated close to the
agency, in which he strenuOusly urges Gov
ernOr Slower to 20 to Governor Ross at once
and see il these indiscriminate killings can
not be stopped. He says that If something
is rot done Immediately an outbreak will
be inevitable, and then no one can tell the
large amount of damage which these war
riors will do in as thickly settled part Of
the Territory as that contiguous to the
Navajo Reservation. Governor Ross has
issued an order that the cowboys must not
carry arms, but there is no authority at
present to see that the order is carried out.
and some other method must be devised ii
bloodshed is to be averted. The Navajos
are now q very peaceful tribe, and
know that in declaring war they
will lose the wealth and property
they have acquired since their settlement
on the reservation, but they think that
while they have no right to 60 of the reser-
walton without permission, yet the land
over which they generally travel is Govern
ment land and the cowboys have no more
right there than they have. Governor Ross
has the will to right these matters, but it is
feared that he has not the power to back
that will. However, he has shown by his
actions in the past that he will do all he
can to protect the wards of the Govern
ment when they are wrOngfully imposed
upon, and it is earnestly hoped that he will
be able to devise some means by which tho
evil may be abated.
