Hold the Cow to a Good Age.

We do not agree with the notion that
every COW should be forced and run
through as quickly as possible and then
discarded, says the Practical Dairy
man. Rather, we say, get good COW
and then take measures to keep her in
good paying shape as long as possible
Cows twelve to fifteen years old often
do as well or better than younger ones
We have a COW fully fifteen years old
which gives as much milk now as she
ever did.
II does not injurc COW to feed her
we'll, even with rich grain, if this is
done in a rational manner IL is not
the use Of COW to her full capacity
which destroys, but rather abuse by un-
wise feeding and handling, We believe
that almost any good COW, rightly man
aged, will yield we'll nigh her full guam
tity and quality Of milk up to the age of
twelve years If this is 50 why throw
her away at the age of from six to eight
years I 1t takes two or three years after
she first comes in got the heifer up to
her full capacity. Therefore we should
keep her as long as we can proftably
when she gets to be mature COW, and
not be possessed Of the false idea that a
COW should be gotten rid of while she
is yet in her prime. Continually max
ing unnecessary changes in the per-
sonnet of the dairy cows occasions many
troubles and annoyauces that may just
as we'll be saved.

Pumpkins as Pig Food.

The Oregon Agricultural Experiment
Station has been experimenting with
pumpkins as food for pigs and gives the
results in recent bulletin.
The pumpkins were cooked, mixed
with shorts and sailed. and fed to the
pigs weighing from 140 to 210 pounds
at the beginning of the experiment,
October 80, 1897, no other feed but
shorts and pumpkins being given The
amount Of each feed per pound Of gain
made the first fourteen days was Is as
pounds of pumpkins and 2 is pounds of
shorts. For the second period of four
teen days the six pigs ate 1875 pounds
of pumpkins and 16S pounds of shorts
and made gain of one pound for each
14.95 pounds of pumpkins and l.3
pounds Of shorts. The third period of
fourteen days the hogs consumed 2,17O
pounds of pumpkins and 252 pounds of
shorts, or 1i.39 pounds of pumpkins
and 1.79 pounds Of shorts per pound of
gain The fourth period they consumed
2,170 pounds of pumpkins and 1856
pounds of shorts, or 14.46 pounds of
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds of shorts per
pound of gain.
Reckoning pumpkins at $3.50 per ton
and the shorts at $12 the cost per pound
of gain was 2 9 cents. The object was
to secure as large a consumption of
pumpkins as possible but the pigs did
not seem to be satisfied without an in
creased amount of shorts. As will be
seen by the above, the amount of shorts
consumed the last periods of fourteen
days is double that consumed the first
while the increase in pumpkins was
about rs per cent. The average daily
gain during the whole period was about
one and a-half pounds and the bacon
produced of very superior quality We
believe. says the bulletin, gain can be
made much cheaper by substituting,
during the latter period, corn at prices
for shorts at $l2 per ton, but for grow
ing pigs or milk COWS shorts would
furnish . much better balance than corn.
Speaking of pumpkins in his book,
"Feeds and Feeding" Prof Henry
says:
"Grown as a main crop, or even as a
secondary one in the corn field, the
pumpkin vine often yields large returns
on a small cost of production. A tract
of well prepared land, devoted exolu-
sively to this vegetable. will pay well
under good management. y For
swine in the first stages of fattening
they are useful, either fresh or cooked
with meal"

Most wholesome Foods for Break
fast, Dinner and supper.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer, writing on "The
Best Food for Growing Child" in the
Ladies' Home Journal, says: "A child
must have in it's active life at least two
thirds carbonaceous foods and one
third heterogeneous or fesh-building
foods. For breakfast he may have first
well-baked or steamed apple, little
apple sauce, ripe peach or some grapes,
followed by well-cooked cereal with
milk, after which a soft-boiled egg, a
small bit of broiled white-fish, little
broiled sweetbread. a piece of broiled
chicken, or he may take simply bowl
81 oatmeal or wheat preparation, and a
slice of well-toasted whole wheat bread.
For dinner clear soup, followed by
red meat, either beef or mutton,
broiled, boiled or roasted, or any of the
wild meats, with one starchy vegetable.
such as rice, potato or stewed macaroni,
and one green vegetable simply cooked,
such as spinach, caulifiower, asparagus,
lettuce, cress, celery, well-cooked Gu
cumber, carefully stewed turnip or
well-boiled radish, over which is poured
little cream sauce, giving the
required fatty matter. Next comes
the dessert. Such things as rice pud-
ding, cup custard, caramel custards
mock charlotte, floating island, rice
dumplings and boiled rice and milk, or
moulded wheatlet with whipped cream,

be the accompanying beverage.
Supper may consist of bread, thor
oughly baked, with either butter or
milk, or cornmeal mush and milk, mush
bread. bread sticks and chicken broth
Milk is, however, the better liquid food
for the child's night meal. A child who
is fed properly, and is well bsthed and
comfortably clothed. will eat well,
sleep well and be happy and good"

Crippled by
Rheumatism.

Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all

the remedies prescribed by the doctors

producing severe aching of the bones.

whether the bulletin contained all the
information given In Admiral Samp-
sons calegram, there is reason to be-
lieve that it did not. The officials re-
fused to discuss the subject, or to
vouchsafe further Information than
was posted on the bulletin board.
Only one additional point was elic-
tied by questioning. That was that
the cablegram contained no informa-
ton about the landing of either land
forces or marines.
The information received from Ad-
miral Sampson was evidently quite sat
isfactory to the naval authorities.
While they declined to discuss either
the reasons for, or the probable conse-
quences of the bombardment, they were
thoroughly satisfied with the results
accomplished. 1t is pretty we'll under
stood that the bombardment was for
the purpose of paving the way either
for the landing of troops or merely to
cover the landing of marines.
Dispatches received by the Associated
Press from Spanish sources tonight
indicate that a landing was effected
either during or Immediately after the
bombardment. This is regarded by
naval authorities as entirely reason-
able. 1t is deemed likely that Samp-
son landed a sufficient force of marines
to hold the ground he had gained, and
to make preparations for the landing
of the regular forces upon their ar
rival. if indeed, some of them are not
already at hand.

A perfect shower of shell and shot

About noon, according to the Cape
Haytien dispatch. landing party Of
American marines near Daiquiri was
attacked by Spanish infantry and a
squadron of cavalry The insurgents
were posted in the neighborhood, and
with the aid of marines, successfully
took up a position, holding il. and
later making it base from which they
operated. The Spanish force was de-
feated with heavy losses and driven
back toward Santiago, leaving their
wounded behind. The Americans are
now intrenched near Daiquiri, and are
landing heavy guns preparatory to
moving toward Santiago and laying
siege to the city.
There is panic in Santiago. The
residents who can are fleeing to the
country, joining the insurgents or doing
anything to get away from the certain
destruction that now awaits Cervera's
fleet and the forces Of Pando and

Morro Reported to be Shapeless

NEW YORK. June IA special from
Cape Haytien, describing the lombard
ment of Santiago de Cuba on Monday,
says that the forts of the harbor are
now a shapeless pile Of ruined masonry
now a shapeless pile of ruined maconry
and dismantled guns, and the Estrella
battery is utterly ruined. This re-
suit, the dispatch says. was the work
of ten American ironclads which

on the east Of the harbor entrance,
discharging their guns as they steamed
along. so that scarcely q yard of the
coast escaped the deadly cannonading.
At Port Aguadores, the fort recently
constructed by Colonel Ordonez, the
artillery expert, was blown to dust. and
Colonel Ordonex himself was badly
wounded by the flying splinters and
debris. Captain Sanchez and Lieuten-
ant Yrizar, artillery officers. were also
wounded. Two infantry Lieutenants,
Garcia and Perez, and twenty zone pri-

A Prompt Invasion Of Cuba to Be
Made at Santiago

WASHINGTON, June THE Cab
met meeting to-day was not particular
ly important. AS is usual, the whole
field of military and naval operations
was gone over. but nothing was done
looking to any change in policy or
plans. 1t is almost certain that no
regular troops have yet been dis
patched to Santiago, but it is the in
tention to Immediately begin heavy
movement. 1t had been the inten-
ton of the military authorities to have
started the first expedition a day or
two ago, but the non-arrival Of the
equipment Of the large siege guns
which 1t is proposed to use in the re-
duction Of Santiago and the capture
Of Admiral Cervera's fleet necessitated
a short postponement
The transports are in perfect readi-
ness for the embarkation Of the troops.
and nothing now remains that should
occupy more than a day or two. The
army of occupation will then be hur-
ried forward. and nothing win be per-
mitted to interfere with the prompt in
vasion Of Santiago and the capture or
destruction Of the Imprisoned fleet.
In commenting upon the reports of a
military engagement near Santiago 1t
was said after the Cabinet meeting
that If there had been any collision it
probably occurred between the Span
iards and force of our marines, who
may have been attempting to land
arms for the use of the insurgents.

STEAMER CENTENNIAL.
The Charter Of the Government
Has Been Cancelled.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn is rapid
ly shaping the question of ships for
transportation of troops to the Philip
pines. 1t was definitely decided to-
night that the steamship Centennial
will not be of the fleet, as she has been
found unseaworthy. Acting on the re-
ports of the vessels condition, Mr..
Meiklejohn directed that she be thor
oughly examined, and tonight he re-
ceived a telegram from General Mer-
ritt stating that Lieutenant Lopez and
Naval Constructor Snow had examined
the vessel, and report that she is not
now in a seaworthy condition, and
should not be permitted to sail.
Acting upon this information, Mr..
Meiklejohn Immediately telegraphed
Peter Larsen of Seattle. owner Of the
vessel that his charter for the Govern
ment had been Cancelled.
1t is probable that the War Depart
ment will impress into Government SER
vice the steamships Senator, City Of
Puebla and Queen of the Pacific, Of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company As
sistant Secretary Meiklejohn to-day
telegraphed General Merritt to have
these vessels inspected, with view to
their use as troop ships, and if found
suitable, to impress them into service
In addition to these vessels, the War
Department has in view several ships
of the Northern Pacific Steamship
Company. This is British corpora
ton, and the vessels are the Arizona,
Victoria, Tacoma, Columbia and Olym-
pia.
Mr.. Meiklejohn this evening received
telegram from the company stating
that these vessels would be chartered
to the Government on condition Of re-
ceiving American registry at practical
ly the prices the War Department had
