DIspOsING THE VESSELS.
The Squadron i'm Turkish Waters Will
Not BE Increased.

Not BE Increased.
1t is stated with authority that in the
present state of affairs in Turkey The Navy
Depa rtment will not add to the strength of
the United States squadron now in Turkish
waters, which will consist of the San
Francisco and the Marblehead. 1t is felt
that these two vessels are ample to pro-
tect American residents in Turkey, even in
the event of actual hostilities, and to as
semble a strong naval force there now
might be construed as joint participation
by the United States in the demands which
are being made on the porte, whereas our
government has no intention Of becomn &
embroiled in any European complicatio tions,
no matter in which direction cur sympa-
thies may incline.
The Asintfc Squadron.
The Asiatic squadron is to be kept at it's
present full strength for some time to
come, certainly until there is no longer
reason to apprehend further wars in the
cast or uprising against foreign mission

long time on the stations, and many of the
time usually regarded as tour of sea duty,

which they enlisted, the department will

Butter Fat Lost.

A man in New York State who has
been testing a large number of COWS
by the Babcock test has been telling
the results of his experience in this
line to the American Agriculturist. In
one herd he found that half the butter
fat had been lost in the skim milk and
buttermilk where the milk to be churn-
ed was set in vessels for the cream to
rise. He states further that n third
of the butter-makers in New York are
using the same appliances, and he
says: THE most ~exasperating thing
about it all is they won't believe when
you show them wherein they are losing
money

Drying Off Cows.

Drying off cows should be practiced
with caution. 1t is not the rule, but the
exception, to milk a cow up to calving.
1t is thought by many that a COW
ought to have some rest from milk
giving f.om a month to six weeks at
least. All depends, however. on cir
cumstances-and with special refer
ence to individual cows. Sometimes.
previous to parturition, the milk be-
comes thick and clotty and unfit for
use, and should be discarded. AS a
rule, as long as milk seems to preserve
it's normal condition, and the COW ap-
pears in good h%ealth-no harm to use
it. If it is decided to dry off a COW it
should be done very gradually. First,
cut off the feed. Second, milk only
once per day and leave a little milk
in the udder. Third. gradually get
to milking once every other day. leav-
ing some milk in the udder as before.
If the period of parturition is near
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1895-10-18

at hand, and the COW begins to increase
her milk flow, do not attempt to dry
her off at all.
Young heifers with their first calves,
should be MIXED continuously up to
within a month of calving. And this
should be done with second calf also.
This helps to train her as a continuous,
persistent mixer. The COW is large
ly q creature of habit and we must aim
as much as possible to train her to
such habit as we desire her to form.
If the heifer, then, is a natural dairy
animal in her breeding, it may not be
a difficult matter to train her to pro-
duce milk up to within a month of
calving. On the other hand. if she is
not naturally a dairy-bred animal, we
can hardly hope to make a continuous
mixer of her. In our own herd, it is
usually a difficult matter to dry off
most of our COWS, because they are
thoroughbred and high-grade Jerseys
and they have had the persistent
milking tendency bred in them. No
heifer that drops a first calf in u
herd ever milks a less period than
within a month of calving-we make
it a rule to go through the operation
of milking, however small the amount
of milk drawn. BY following this
iron-clad rule for fourteen years, we
have built up a herd of persistent
mixers, second to none in this vicin-
ity. Several of our COWS have never
been dry in years and we do not see
that they are in any n the worse
for it. nor their offspring.

Dairy Notes.

Personal contributions from our
readers are specially solicited for our
Dairy Department.
By testing carefully the butter
product of each COW in the herd. and
wedding out the inferior, very many
dairymen have doubled their butter

In washing dairy utensils, first rinse
with cold water, adding p small guam

THE fall of the year is here. Win
ter will soon be upon us. Are you
prepared to shelter your dairy COWS
and your young stock comfortably?
Or do you propose to let them all seek
any shelter that Nature may provide
and take the weather as it comes?

WHAT is a profitable dairy COW?
One that gives a good flow of milk,
and that milk rich in butter fat. One
that is a persistent, continuous milk
err. One that produces milk at a mod
crate cost for feed.
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1895-10-18

THE way to build up a choice herd,
is to weed out every Improbable COW
and hold on to the best. How are you
to tell? The most perfect method to
determine the value of each individu-
al animal. is by means of the Babcock
test.
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1895-10-18

NEVER breed to a grade sire, if pos
sible to secure service from a thor
oughbred. The high grade male may
possess all the outward excellences of
the pure bred animal, but he is never
a reliable breeder.

HAVE you a kicking COW? If so,
what first caused her to form this bad
habit? Investigate and you will prob
ably find out that bed treatment in
some manner, by some attendant, orig
mated the trouble.

Better Than Grain.

The great advantage the dairyman
has owe the grain grower lies in the
fact that he sells no fertility off his
farm. In feeding his cows. he feeds

water. Same with churn and butter
worker.
If the dairy is not proving as profit
able as you think it ought, suppose
you decrease the number of cows, re-
tanning the best individual animals,
and by better feed and care endeavor
to increase the yield per capita to its
fullest capacity.
The large portion of those who
make butter for sale in the South do
not really know what is good butter.
They need to learn what constitutes a
first-rate article. Butter is judged by
texture, grain, flavor, aroma, color,
and you will always be able to get a
first-class price.
1t is claimed that the same amount
of feed required to produce one pound
of dressed beef will produce one pound
of butter. The beef is retailed all the
way from five to ten cents per pound,
while the butter sells at from fifteen
to thirty cents per pound. If this be
a fair statement of the matter, then it
ought not to take one long to choose
between beef growing and butter MAX
ing.
1t Is said that a COW calving in the
fall will give more milk in a year than
one calving in the spring Or summer.
She milks reasonably well all winter,
and when the grass puts up in the
spring, she enters upon the milk-giv-
inn h,1cinncc with rnpnuvn1 x,iror Tho
COW that calves in the late spring or
summer. is disposed to dry up when
the succulent feed becomes scarce in
the fall.
Don't let the COW shrink in milk.
Keep up the milk flow by liberal feed
ing and you will be likely to increase
profits in proportion to the feed you
bestOw upon your cows, provided you
give them enough for support" with
a surplus to insure milk and butter.
Liberal feeding does pay. Intelligent
feeding does pay. Feeding rich foods
in the proper combination, is the thing
to do.
In sailing butter the amount of salt
to the pound of butter will depend up
on the taste of the consume if you
would sell your product readily and
have it give satisfaction. In shipping
to commission men in the large towns
and cities of Alabama, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, the demand is for very
salty butter. One who begins to ship
butter the first time, will be very apt
to have his commission merchant
write back that the butter is deficient

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-While the time
of the house was mainly absorbed today in
debate on the Republican plan to create
three committees of nine members each to
deal with the election contests, its interest
was conferred upon the p, esident's message.
The debate on the election committees
plan was fruitful of partisan discussion of
election methods in the house and the Re

the Fifty-frst congress. The principal
speakers were Cannon of illinois, Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, johnson of Indiana and

Democrats.
The plan was adopted bv party vote.
The house began business by agreeing
to the senate amendments to Mr.. Hopkins

Then the change of rules increasing the

with the exception of the clause changing

This prolonged discussion caused Crisp

IRISH NATIONAL ALLIANCE
Issues a Manifesto to the American

Profession of Unfailfng Loyalty of Irish.
American Citizens and an Offer Of
Armed Assistance

Associated Press, Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE following
manifesto has been issued by the execu-
tive courcil of the Irish National alliance
o America, and copy of it has been sent
to President Cleveland:
To the Members of the Irish National
Alliance and the American Public: 1t has
been publicly charged that the purpose of
the Irish Ma ional alliance is all Irish pol
icy of hatred toward England and is. there
fore, contrary to the interests of America.
This calls in question the loyalty to the re-
public of our people.
We declare it incontrovertible that no
more bitter, more perfidious or more unre-
lenting enemy Than Great Britain to the
United States has ever existed. England
has ever been the vengeful foe OF Ameri-
can liberty and of republican institutions.
Imbued wi b this conviction and seeing
that Great Britain has avowed her inten-
ton to trample upon the Monroe doctrine
by her attemp to rob Venezuela of her ter
iitury. and has dared to violate the integ-
rity of our territory in Alaska, we hereby
offer as proof of our loyalty and devotion
to the country of which we are citizans TO
place at the disposal of the president of the
United States 100000 soldiers, as brave
as have ever shOuldered rifle, and every
man of whom is believer in the princ-
Piles and teachings of the Irish National
alliance.
Our army, which is now organized, is
ready to serve the American republic in
any part of this continent, and should the
enforcement of the Monroe doc rine need
its aid will, either on Irish soil or English
ground, establ sh the fact that the intre-
pidity, the valor and determination of The
Irish brigade will again prove the loyalty
of Irishmen to the United States.
We pray that the day may soon come
when we, exiles from our own land, shall
assist in driving the foe to whom we bear
unending hatred from our island, we re-
