The situation In Brazil Becoming Alarm.

All Quiet In Chill.
NEW YORK. November 9.-Cable.
grams give further details OF the trouble
between the Brazilian congress and
President Fonseca. il seems TO have
had its origin In row that broke out
in the Legislative chamber.
The senate passed o bill TO establish
the responsibility OF the president for
his different acts. This met with Fon-
seca's violent disapprobation, and he
refused to accept what he termed any
such dictation as to his rights and du-
ties from congress. He ordered the
troops under arms throughout Rio de
Jaueiro. This led to intense excitement
among the people.
Bands ofopponents Of the government
assembled and shouted out their disap-
proval. Between them and the soldiers
many fights took place. Riots broke
out all over the city. and the troops
were given orders to fire upon the riot
ers, which they did, and many OF the
rioters were killed. Rio was practical
~ in state of siege, and 1t was not
safe to stir out OF doors. Soldiers pa
trolled the streets, and martial law was
proclaimed. AS in previous cases q
strict censorship OF the press was pro-
claimed.
A spirit of revolt manifested itself in
the army. When Fonseca heard OF this
he went at once to the troops and made
stirring speech, promising TO guard
their interests and protect them in all
their rights. His words had good ef-
feet The unruly spirits were COM
pletely brought around to his side, and
ut the end OF his address they cheered
him heartily.
The chiefs Of the army then request
ed Fonseca to assume the functions OF
dictator, saying that the emergency de-
manded 1t. He appeared TO demur for
time. but at length gave his consent.
He then issued q decree relating the
causes of the disagreement between
himself and congress, and defending
his position. At the same time he de-
clared that congress had gone so far in
its attempts to interfere with his pre-
negatives that he thereby dissolved it.
1t no longer had any excuse for exist
ing, he said, since 1t was passing laws
that were contrary TO the constitution
At 8 O. m. Fonseca's decree was made
public. He said the dictatorship would
last until the political revolutions were
at an end and law makers learned to
keep in progress with American ideas.
kilograms from Porto Allegro say the
authority OF the dictator Is not recog-
nized there. Allegro has o population
of sc, 600, and is in the state of Rio
Grande de Sui, one Of The most prosper
GUS and independent Of the states. The
republicans there say they will not toll
crate a dictatorship, and demand armed
opposition to Fonseca They say he
wishes to restore imperial rule, with
himself rs emperor, and that he has
grown tired Of republic.
The navy has pronounced In favor OF
Fonseca. All Is now quiet at Rio. 1t
is believed that the revolt will be put
down and peace soon restored.

Rapid Milking.

Many agricultural writers advise milk
ing rapidly as necessary to obtain the
largest flow of milk. In this there is
only partial truth. Generally those
who milk rapidly do so because Of long
experience. 1t is something in which
skill is acquired by constant practice,
and the mixer must learn to do the
work we'll and thoroughly, and to SO
handle the udder and teats as not to
give pain to the animal, and when one
has done that he may strive to increase
the speed.
However, let two mixers who have
long MIXED the same cows, one milking
much more rapidly than the other, change
cows, and it will be found in most cases
that both lots of cows will shrink in
their milk. The unaccustomed touch
annoys the animal to such an extent that
she does not "give down" her milk.
Either it is not secreted, or she possesses
the power of holding it back to the ex-
tent of lessening her milk production
several pounds In day. Probably it is
the former, upon the same principle that
one secretes more saliva when eating
food that is highly relished than when
eating that which does not taste right.
The injunction to milk rapidly, how
ever, may have done injury in many
cases by causing those who were I'M
used to tho business to exert unneces-
sary strength in pressing the teats or
against the udder to force giving
down, which caused pain to the animal,
and by so doing defeated its own pur-
pose, as it checked the secretion. In
some cases there is no doubt that this
vigorous squeezing and pulling has been
the cause Of breaking some of the minute
blood vessels, and causing bloody milk,
and in more cases it has produced an
inflammation Of the udder that resulted
in garget or ropy milk.
The motto for the mill1yard should be,
handle all cows gently and quietly, so
that they viii not dislike the handling,
and when milking, after brushing and
washing the udder to remove all dirt
that might drop in the pail, milk stead
lily without pausing as long as the flow
is kept up, and without the use of any
more force than is needed to keep up the
Itream to the full capacity Of the orifce

Fodder Pulling,

Fodder from the cornfields has long
been the chief source of supply for PROV
ender for the work stock on the farm in
southern states. Commenting upon re-
Gently expressed views deprecating this
practice a correspondent writes in South
ern Farm: II agree with those who op-
pose fodder pulling, that, as frequently
practiced. the resultant injury to the
corn is more than the value of the fod-
der; but this is, ! think, usually unneces-
sary. Let the fodder remain on the stalk
until one-third or sometimes half Of
the whole crop has dried up. BY this
time the corn will be SO nearly matured
as to be but slightly, if at all, affected
by the stripping of the blades. Now go
over and pull what good fodder is left,
what is left on the stalk as worthless has
not cost you any extra work. Horses
and mules prefer corn blades to any hay
| have ever tried them on, and it is cs-
pecially desirable for noon feeding, when
the time allowed to the mules in the
barn is limited, as they will eat more
fodder in a given space of time than
they will of any other kind of hay. The
difference between the amount of prov
ender saved by the average hand in
pulling fodder, or in cutting crab grass
with a grass blade, is a good deal less
than is usually supposed"

FAITH IN MILK TEST TUBES.
Confidence In the Fat Valuations Regis
tered by the Milk Tester.

Confidence In the Fat Valuations Regis
tered by the Milk Tester.
Probably the most significant feature
of the recent meeting Of the committee
Of tweny-one Of the Columbian Dairy
association and the representatives Of
various cattle breeders associations was
the strength of sentiment in favor of
chemical analysis of milk and the hearth
ness Of the Endorsement given the Bah
cock test as cheap, quick, easily OPP
Grated and altogether reliable means of
determining the butter value Of milk
The Jersey men alone held out for the
churn as tho court Of first and last resort
in calculating the butter capacity of
COW, but they were also in favor of the
corroborsting testimony of the chemist.
The conditions of the prolonged test
at the Worlds fair-which have been
rather indefinitely outlined at present
are such IS to render the use of the
churn ont of the question and to COM
bel a resort to the chemists tubes for fat
valuation, and this being the case it is
especially gratifying to note the conf
dence born of extended experience which
was manifested by practical factorymen
in the accuracy Of this means OF milk
testing. 1t was stated that those patrons
who were at first violently opposed to
the innovation of receiving pay for their
milk on the basis of its actual content Of
butter fat as determined by the Bah
cock test have on trial become the most
staadfast converts to the system.
We may be very sure that this change
has not been brought about without evil
dence of the most convincing character
In many cases the farmers tested the
milk tester by now watering their milk
and again adding cream to it. and every
time the tubes registered infallibly the
ATTEMPTED deceit. Such tests were cal
culated to convince the most skeptical,
and the consequence is that thousands
of patrons the country over are receiv-
ing paw from butter and cheese factories
on the actual value of the milk which
they deliver instead of, as formerly, re-
ceiving compensation on the basis of the
average or pooled value of the total
amount of milk delivered to the factory.
The possibilities Of improvement in
the character of our dairy herds opened
up by this simple means of testing mill,
are almost unreasonable; nay, more, the
necessity of wedding out with this easy
means at hand for determining the value
of the product of each COW is fairly i'm
perative. The thin mixers can nc
longer escape detection on account of ar
average richness of the herds mill
