Havana, Feb. 22.-The board of in
quiry into the Maine disaster met on
the lighthouse tender Mangrove at 10
O'Clock yesterday forenoon, with Cap
tains. Sampson and Chadwick and Lieu
tenant Commanders Potter and Mark
present. Captain Sampson presided,
and Lieutenant Commander Mark, re-
Gently executive officer of the Maine,
acted as recorder.
Captain Sigsbee, the commander of
the Maine, was the first witness called.
He was under examination until l
o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour
an adjournment was AIKEN. Then the
board made a careful personal exam
ination of the wreck, near which the
Mangrove is anchored.
Captain Sampson received the news
paper correspondents Immediately after
the morning session of the board. He
said in the course of the interview:
II would be glad to give the news to
the press, but owing to the delicate sit
uation the board has decided to make
nothing whatever public. 1t is only
fair to the Spanish government not to
tell the public the testimony until all
has been received n the findings
nave Deen C|OlSlueTeu. All stories puT-
porting to come from the court should
be set down as false. l shall give to
the press such routine news of the pro-
ceedings as is proper"
Captain Sigsbee, on board the Man
grove, told the correspondent that he
was quite pleased with the examina-
ton, and that he was able to answer
all the questions asked, not only as to
his own acts, but as to those of his
subordlnates on the Maine.
Consul General Lee says the Spanish
officials are not interfering with the
investigation into the causes of the
disaster. He has notified the captain
of the port that the wrecking tug
Right Arm will be here today from the
Merritt & Chapman Wrecking company,
No objection will be made to the pres
ence of the tug or her prospective
work. She will probably make an early
attempt to save the big guns, and If
possible the more valuable parts of the
Names machinery.

Dairy and Creamery.

The whole effort of the dairyman, at
least good part of his efforts, should
be toward making his COWS give him q
large quantity of milk cheaply. To do
this he must study carefully the bal
anced ration problem as we'll as the cost
of particular kinds of COW feed in his
vicinity. Whatever kind is cheapest for
him should be the base of his ration, and
he must learn to mix with it other foods
in quantity to make a properly balanced
ration. We may mention, as we have
done before, that the United States gov
eminent bulletins on the subject of
feeding milk cows and other live stock
may be obtained free of charge by writ
ing to the secretary of agriculture, WASH
ington.
Milk containing less than per cent
butter fat is scarcely worth taking to
the butter factory, although it may dc
for cheese. Milkmen who do not care
what they sell might also make profit
on it by delivering it to private custom
ers, but we must say we pity their Gus.
TONER'S Breed richness of milk into
your COWS.
Here is good ration for a 1000
pound COW: Ten pounds timothy hay.
pounds clover hay, 10 pounds corn fod-
der, pounds bran, 2 pounds cottonseed
meal. The cottonseed meal should be
stirred into the bran. If your COW ia
not in the habit of eating cottonseed
meal, begin with one pound day.

matter how we'll the dairyman feeds
his COWS, if he has not good milk stock
they will be loss to him. No matter
how skillfully the butter maker plies
his trade, if he has not sufficient raw
material to work upon he, too, will lose
money and everybody will lose money.
We present here two illustrations OF
the kind of COW which makes money for
the dairyman and the factory.
The first is an American born and
bred Jersey of family famous in this
country for several cow generations.
She is an ancestor of the Jersey that
won first prize at the Worlds fair. We
give her portrait here to show that Jer-
seys are not such tender cattle after all.
for this aged COW was 10 years old at
the time her photograph was taken and
due to come fresh again, having pro-
duoed calf every year since she was 2
years old. Where is COW of the SO
called hardy breeds of dairy cattle that
can beat it? This brave old Jersey is
owned in New England.
The second COW. Guernsey, is also
an American product. She is.perhaps
of a stronger dairy type than the Jersey
above, her body being thicker through.
She produced 9,748 pounds of milk in
4 months, being allowed to run dry for
a month. When fresh. she gives over
40 pounds day, and her milk always
tests over per cent butter fat. Its high

A Home Butter Trade.

If one contemplate selling butter to
home customers, the first thing is to
learn what they require and then pro-
duoe it for them, if possible. 1t is an
unsatisfactory as well as an expensive
plan to try to bring people around to
our way of thinking. My plan is to
give them anything they want as long
as they pay for it. Before starting out
with butter one should get some neat
business cards printed. These will at
once state the business and give conf
dence to the prospective purchaser.
One should never offer anything but
the best for sale. If, for any reason, he
has poor churning. it should not be
taken to regular customers, but rather
disposed of elsewhere for what it will
bring. One should aim to have the but
ter uniform in quality, salt, color, ETC..
and always be prompt in delivering it
at the expected time, says Rural New
Yorker correspondent.

Growing Horse Radish.

Horse radish is grown from small
pieces of the root 4 to s inches long.
For cultivation in the garden, the
ground is prepared as for other crops
and the pieces of roots are planted in
rows from to feet apart and Is to IS
inches apart in tie row. Mark off the
ground and make small hole with a
dibble or planting stick and set SO that
the upper end is slightly below the sur
face. Some growers double up their
land by setting the horse radish alter
nately in rows with early cabbage, and
the plan succeeds very we'll, inasmuch
as both crops require the same irriga-
ton. The soil should be pressed firmly
about the roots, keep the ground free
from weeds and cultivate as beans or
cabbage. The soil should be rich and in
good condition. The horse radish is dug
in the fall after other crops have been
taken care of. The earth is all shaken
from the roots. and these are stored in
houses or pits, to be marketed during
the winter. -Denver Field and Farm.

Strawberries For Succession.

With most growers it is advantageous
to hold the season as long as possible.
By selection of varieties, soil, situation
and fertilizers, mulching and cultivat.
ing we can make our season cover siz
weeks of profitable picking.
OF the staminates, the Beder Wood
is probably the most popular very early
variety for the northern states, followed
by the Lovett, Beverly, and end with
the Parker Earle.
OF the pistillate, Warfield, Hayer
land, Bubach and Princeton Chief are
general purpose market varieties which
have wide range of popularity.
High ground with light soil on 9
southern slope is the earliest. Nitrogen
aud spring cultivation will force matu
rity. Clay soil on northern slope is ths
latest; mulohing will retard maturity.
These points are presented by CORE

Live stock Points.

A writer in The American Sheep
Breeder controverts emphatically the
popular belief that cows and sheep do
not thrive together on the same pasture.
He declares he has for more than 80
years run sheep and cattle together on
one pasture. In the same field be puts
200 sheep and % cattle. He says the
steers get fat and the cows do fine,
while the sheep thrive all the better for
having the long grass cut down ahead
of them by the cattle. He is careful,
however, always to have in his pasture
plenty of grass for both. The cows pro-
tect the sheep from dogs.
The cheapest animal to raise is the
sheep, and with the growing appetite
for tender lamb and mutton in the
United States it is also one of the most
profitable. 1t will pasture and grow fat
on brief patches and weedy hillsides
where other creatures would starye
The mule trade, which has been rather
dull lately, is looking up briskly since
the war. Mules and a large number of
them will be needed for pack animals in
Cuba and elsewhere by our army.
A writer in The American Cultivator
is emphatic in denouncing the ''perni-
cious and demoralizing practice of let
ting calves intended for veal suckle
their dams in dairy. Such veal he de-
ciares costs at the rate of so cents to
81 for each 100 pounds of milk it
takes, besides demoralizing the COW and
reducing her milk flow. Among beef
herds the loss does not count SO much,
but in dairy such veal costs almost as
much as ice cream. The writer S method
is to take the calf from its dairy dam
"a hours after its birth and put it out
of sight and hearing Of its mother. As
soon as the cows milk is fit for human
use he runs it through a separator. To
the warm, fresh skimmilk left he adds
a quarter it's weight of oornmeaI and
very little cottonseed meal, and on this
diet he prepares the calf successfully
for veal.
Farmers who board horses during the
winter have additional profit in the
masses of manure that are ready to be
spread upon their land in spring,
