Havana, Feb. 4.-COnsiderable anX-

Bu ambition is not the only spur to
Gen. Marin'S activity. 1t is coming To
be admitted even in Cuban circles that
the instruction has reached Il precari-
stage from several causes, nOta-
bly, lack of ammunition and arms and
the want of fresh horses and supplies.
The steps taken by the Spanish au-
thOriti"s in gathering in all the horses
and cattle possible. have had the eff
feet of weakening the insurgents con
siderahly. Their horses. as n rule, are
almost worn out. and being kept al
most continually on the march for
months past. they are not allowed to
rccupcratc. The tactics of the Span
iards seem to be to keep the insurg-
ents constantly moving from place to
place night and day, and so gradually
wear them out. There Is little doubt
that the insurgents are feeling the eff
feet of these tactics. for their trails
are marked by numbers of lame,
emaciated horses and their number is
increasing as time wears IN.

Salt given to cows has some effect
on the quality Of the milk. This is
necessarily so, as the salt aids very
much in the digestion of the food. and
it is the quantity of the food digested
that regulates the quantity and quality
of the milk. Salt is Indispensable to
the health Of any animal that feeds on
vegetable matter, and the milk is af-
fectcd greatly by the health or oppo-
site condition of the cow. When salt
Is given to excess. 1t Is injurious, and
causes an intense thirst, but this does
not necessarily make the milk more
watery than usual. If the COW drinks
more water than Is customary there IL
no reason to believe that this excess Of
water dilutes the milk. The milk Is
not made In any such way as would
make this possible. IL Is produced by
the breaking down of the glandular
tissue Of the udder. and this never con-
tains more than the normal quantity
OF water. The kidneys are charged
with the removal OF any excess OF
water from the blood, and this drain.

Last Milk Drawn the Richest.

The last milk drawn is very much
richer in butter fat and total solids
than the first drawn. 1t has been
found by experiment with several
cows, covering a week or more, that
the first half of the milk drawn, pro-
vided it is taken from all teats equal
ly, contains little more than half IA
much butter fat as the second half
AS between the first and last half
pints drawn, a difference of -four to-
one has been found as the average OF
several cows for n number of days.
Individual. cases will vary greatly, and
the difference in the same COW will
vary widely, although the causes for
these variations have not been salts
factorily explained. Neither is it
known why the last milk drawn is
richer than the first, although at first
thought it might seem to be naturally
attributed to the partial rising of the
cream in the udder of the COW just as
T. occurs in milk standing in a vessel
in the dairy.-Denver Field and Farm.

Dairy Notes.

Milk at regular hours-mornings and
evenings.
Corn by itself is not a good ration
for milk cows.
Good butter cannot be made ont Of
milk which has nee got out OF condl-
ton.
In starting a dairy il Is always best
20 on a small scale first.
The dairy GOV in winter should
either be fed ground or soft feed, bns
never whole gain.
A good dairy cow win tern the extra
feed into milk and the poor one will
turn il into fat.
AS a general rule butter wheo
churned from clear cream will have IN
oily or Shiny look.
Cows should be fed and sheltered so
as to give milk for as long a season as
possible.
The difference in the quality of milk
is not so noticeable until IL Is put into
the ciIuTn.
The whole subject Of winter care cf
