GERMANS ON Chinese SOIL.
Secretary Sherman Thinks Germany will Es-
tablish Big City.
Americans Would Have the Same Rights
but are Not Likely to Make En-
forts In that Direction.

New York, Jan. 7.-Speaking of the
situation in China to a Herald Wash
ington correspondent last night Secre-
tary Sherman said:
Il think it will now be in line for
Russia and France to take possession
of China ports. Their interests will re-
quire such action. Great Britain has
Hong Kong, which is the seat for En-
glish interests and now Germany has
Kiao Chau. Russia is DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning southern port, where her
ships will not be frozen in during the
winter. Besides her commercial in
terests are such that she ought to have
Chinese port such as Germany has
obtained.
80 far as American commerce is
concerned. ] expect II will have the
same rights in kiao Chau as that of
Germany. This depends. however. on
the commercial regulations which Ger
many will place in force. From my I'M
derstandifig of the matter Germany is
not given title to the territory. but she
has the right to substitute her laws
for those which the Chinese have
hitherto had in force. Her merchants

laws of China at Kiao Chau but will
be required to observe German laws.
Il presume the Germans will now
establish a large city at Kiao Chau
and push their commercial interests
as vigorously as possible.
Il suppose that II the United States
We're to indicate to China its desire
to obtain n China port the Picking gov
eminent would be willing to grant 1t.
But we want no such port. Our COM
mercial interests are satisfactorily pro-
teoted Mt the present time by treaties
and besides, at Hong Kong-and we

Kiao Chau-we are granted the free

engines were backed with all the steam
that could be put upon them, and the
backing was continued for 80 minutes,
but without avail.
ut was now seen that 1t would be
impossible to get the ship afloat. Cap
tain Smith gave the order to spike the
port battery and throw ths guns over
board, but it was not done, for the en-
emy's fire was becoming so rapid and
severe that the captain deemed il ju-
dicious to abandon the ship at once in
order to save the lives of the men.
While preparations were being made to
destroy the ship the sick and the wound
ed were lowered into boats and convey
ed ashore, while the men at the star
board battery continued to fight In
splendid style, firing at every fash of
the enemy's guns. The small arms were
thrown overheard and all possible dam
age was done to engine and everything
else that might prove of use to the
enemy.
1.-THE ship was first set on fire in the
forward storeroom, but three shots came
through below her water line and put
out the flames. She was then set fire in
four places aft, and when the flames
were we'll under way, so as to make her
destruction certain, Captain Smith and
his first lieutenant George Dewey left
the ship, all the officers and crew hav-
ing been landed before. The Mississippi
was soon in blaze fore and aft, and as
she was now relieved of great deal of
welght-by the removal of her crew
and the destruction of her upper works
she t1oated off the bank and drifted
down the river, much to the danger Of
the Union vessels below But she pass
ed without doing them any injury and
at $3.50 o'clock blew up and went to
the bottom"
Lieutenant Dewey was the last to
leave the ship. To keep her from fall
ing into the enemy's hands he set fire to
her himself and escaped ON cotton bale
which was floating down the river. Ad-
miral Porter, commenting on this moi
dent, said, ut is in such trying mo-
ments that men show of what metal
they are made, and in this instance the
metal was the best" The superior Off
GERS aboard the Mississippi conceived by
his actions that Dewey was q man of

Each particular make of separator has
its own best way of working. Some
yield the most cream with the milk at
a high temperature, while others skim
closer at lower temperature. Study
your own brand of separator and see
whether it skins closer with the milk
hotter or cooler.
Ten or ~ COWS are as many as one
person should be required to milk twice
a day. Always let each COW have her
own particular stall and give her the
same mixer all the time. Cows, like
people, get used to their own friends
and like to have them around.
Brewers grains are an excellent food
for cattle if used fresh and not allowed
to ferment, but great care must be used
on this point. They must be fed in con-
nection with other things Never give
even beef cattle mere than 40 pounds
day each, while dairy cows should not
have SO much. There ought to be 90
pounds to bushel of brewers grains.
See that you get this measure where
you buy them. 1t will be easy to test
the matter by weighing a bushel of the
substance at home after you get it,
Brewers grains go further as feed than
either mill feed, corn fodder or clover

facing another row. A closely boarded
partition about four feet high forms the
front of the stall. Each COW has 3 %
feet in width. The floor is made tight
and there is no drop in rear of cows.
except the thickness of one plank, which
is the double floor of the stall. The
feeding rack is constructed for two pur-
poses-tirst, to contain any hay or
rouRhage that may be fed the COW (the
Stats are put on wide enough so the
COW can easily get her nose between
them); second, to force the COW when
standing to stand with her hind feet in
rear of the crossbar across the stall
floor. In constructing the feeding rack
nail by 8 piece of scantling edge
wise against the board partition This
constitutes the bottom of the rack and
should be placed about 80 inches from
the floor. Place the top soantling about
two feet from the partition. This makes
the feeding rack eight inches wide at
the bottom and two feet wide at the
top. In the center of the bottom scant-
ling fasten ring screw to tie the halter
to. Fasten the COW with common
web halter, she wearing the headpiece
all the time. The halter end of the rope
has safety snap to fasten into the ring
OF the halter under the throat. To pre-.
vent the COW from getting loose it is
we'll to divide the end of the rope into
two strands, each six inches long, and
put snap in each, fastening in both
the ring when tying the COW.
Tho -, nj -.
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the COW usually lies ON. If she lies
ON her left side, place the grain box on
the right side, as seen in the engraving.
This box is large enough to contain the
ensilage and grain feed aud is reached
by an opening in the partition. 1t is
best to have the feed box slant down to-
ward the COW, so that all the feed will
easily work down to the end nearest
her. This box should be long enough to
extend from the partition into the stall
as far as the upper part of the feed rack
projects and about Is or 20 inches wide
and g inches deep. If placed sufficient
ly slanting, the feed will easily work
down to the lower end next the COW, so
that she will not need to bring her hind
feet in on her bedding in order to reach
the contents of the box.
In placing the bar across the stall
bring the COW IS head squarely up against
the feeding rack; then just forward of
her hind feet nail down a 3 by 3 scant-
ling. Fill the space forward of the bar
with bedding, which being without
waste will last till entirely worn out
In this way each COW has her bed in
true proportion to her length. 1t should
be made fresh once week, however
for the sake of health. We commend
this stall to all dairymen who are look
ing for clean, comfortable method of
stabling dairy COWS.

POULTRY NEEDS CARE
WARMTH AND VENTILATION ESSEN
TlAL TO HEALTH.

Every Poultry Yard Should Have Shade
Barrels For Nests to Good Advantage.
Food and Drink For sitters.
Fowls will pay best, says Farm and
Home, if you will care for them and
give them the little attention which
they require. In the first place, you
need person to care for them, one who
does not want to see dumb animals suf-
fer, and who is willing to be tied down
little, for the fowls need to be fed reg
ularly. Select some member of the fam
lily who is in sympathy with the poul-
try, and who will take pride in seeing
them thrive under his care. Have q
building separate from the regular farm
buildings placed in a sheltered, sunny
spot, we'll drained, in a corner of the
orchard if not too far from the house.
This may vary according to the number
OF fowls to be accommodated and the
space or funds available, but no matter
how you build you must keep certain
things in view from the beginning.
You want warmth, dryness, ample space
and simplicity of inside arrangements
that they may be easily cleaned and
kept free from lice. Hens will lay
more eggs if divided into pens of not
more than 10 or 10, and in building
make the house 10 feet by l2 feet for
each 12 hens to be housed. This allows
for four foot alley on the north side.
/ have found that in the long run
house made with a good solid balloon
frame, with matched or novelty siding
on the outside, with tarred paper be-
tween the boards and studs and on the
inside another thickness of tarred pa.
per, covered with matched ceiling, is
best For the roof use what is known
as clear butt single and for the inside
partitions planed hemlock boards for
the first three feet from the floor and
two inch mesh wire netting from that
up to the roof In the south side put a
IL light window for each eight feet.
Many people make great mistake by
putting too much glass in their poultry
houses, forgetting that it is as good q
conductor Of cold as of heat.
A writer in The Country Gentleman
says it is of the greatest importance
that there be shade in the poultry yard.
Poultry will not do well without it.
Many poultrymen plant plum trees in
