The Chicago Inter. Ocean Of recent
date has column article descriptive OF
the methods employed by Col. Lockhart,
OF the Alfalfa Land Il Cattle company,
in the raising and feeding OF cattle. The
plan is this: He takes calves at. say, 6
months old and puts them in fenced lots
and feeds them on alfalfa, supplemented
by one pound Of foreground cornmeal
per day, fed dry from troughs, increasing
the cornmeal as winter approaches to
two pounds per head per day. As soon
as the calves become used to the feed he
dehorns them. Five men can dehorn
frym 600 to 500 per day. In the spring
he turns them on native grass pasture or
range. In the fall he takes them mp and
and puts them in feed lots again, giving
them now full feed Of corn for, say, six
months, with other solid food. At from
1S months to 2 years they are ready for
the market, will weigh about 1.l0O
pounds, and command top prices. The

The Canning Fnctory's Work

The management of the Rocky Ford
Canning Co. is being agreeably disap-
pointed in this years work. At the be-
ginning OF the tomato season the crop
was unexpectedly light and for time it
seemed that the output would be much
smaller than hoped for. But us the sea-
son progressed the supply Of tomatoes
increased rapidly, so much SO that for n
portion OF the time both day and night
runs were necessary to dispose OF the
large receipts. For n time there was n
scarcity OF pcelers. the improvements
devised by Supt. Draper enabling the
factory to dispose OF the operation OF
canning much more rapidly than during
former years With a continuance OF
favorable weather the remarkably large
output OF last year will almost be
equnlled, but we hope with much more
profit TO the company. The tomatoes
are being sold aud shipped as fast as
labelled and put in cases-which is a
great improvement on the management
OF former years. It will be matter for
general congratulation il the success OF
this season shall be such us shall induce
the company to greatly enlarge its works
next year. The fertile soil adjacent to
Rocky Ford will furnish oil the raw ma

on horseback and rode through the

morning he was somewhat quieter but
still showing great nervous tension. He
was taken in charge by Constable Mead

county Jail for the safety Of the public
had not friends vouched for his appear
ance for trial at later day. Some
months since the unfortunate man had a
similar attack. The insanity IN that in
stance was only temporary, but Of very
violent nature, threatening injury to all
with whom he came in contact. It is
quite well established that these inter-
walls OF lunacy IRE due to the use Of
drug which the patient periodically OBJ

Nh MoiTat has always been noted for
his democratic ways. He was born in

CUBANS CAUSE
SOME TROUBLE

War Department officials feel that they
are fully justified in their decision to re-
tain practically ali of Skaters army at
Santiago by the press reports that reached
them Tuesday, Indicating the growth of
serious friction between the American
forces and the Cuban troops, growing out
of the lattCr'S exclusion from Santiago, by
General Shaftcr's orders 1t is felt now
that the garrison originally proposed, two
immune regiments, would have been quite
insufficient to meet an outside Spanish
force that might come from Holguin or
Manzanilio, and, also. to restrain the IA
the present situation is full of difficulty
and the future is dark, owing to the dis
position evidenced by the Cuhans to ig-
more or refuse to be bound by the amcni-
ties of modern warfare. This first symp-
tom Of friction has suggested to the Off
Gals innumcrable difficulties that will arise
in the future OF course, it would seem
to be only polite now to avoid any open
rupture with the Cubans, provided they
can be kept in leash, and not involve the
United States in the disgrace that would
follow the sacking of helpless commune
ties; but it begins to appear that for some
time to come, and even after the conquest
of Cuba is complete, the United States
must maintain there a military govern
ment, iii order to meet the responsibilities
which it has assumed to the civilized world.
A few days before the surrender of the
city, General Garcia sent a committee to
General Shafter informing him that the
Cubans had selected Cuban named Cas-
tillo for governor of the city. 1t is plain,
however, from the reading of the Presi-
dents order to Shafter that it would be a
long time before this Cuban officer is al
lowed to exercise TIE functions of COVER
nor, and it is believed it is the Presidents
purpose, when the military government
he has just erected gives way, to replace
it with a popular government, meaning
thereby a government for Santiago chosen
by the free vote of the people of Santiago.
Some doubt is expressed as to whether
this program will be entirely acceptable
to that element of the Cuban party which
demands immediate possession of captured
territory, but as the administration is con-
WINGED that this element is neither the
most numerous nor respectable in the Gu
ban cause, it is believed their dissatisfac-
ton will take no more dangerous form
than protests and growls 1t has been
suggested that the Presidents action in
the case of Santiago might be construed
by European nations as duplicating an in
tent to disregard the terms of the congress
sional resolution which precipitated the
war, and to mean permanent seizure of
the islands in behalf of the United States.
This view, however, will not, it is believed,
obtain to any extent among the representa-
tiyes of European nations in the United
States, who are aware of the necessity of
some such action as that adopted by the
President, in order to prevent excuses
and lawless extravaganza at Santiago.

OF THE STAT L
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The democratic State central com
mittec met Wednesday at the Carroll
ton Hotel. Baltimore. and fixed the
dates for the congressional district cob
ventions, accepted the resignation O
the Baltimore city executive commit
tee, prepared and adopted plan toi
congressional and municipal primaries
in Baltimore, and then lunched as the
guests of Chairman Murray Nandiver
of the committee.
Shortly after - o'clock Chairman
Vandiver called the committee to or
der in one of the parlors Of the Carroll
ton Hotel. A roll call of the counties
showed a complete representation eth
er in person or by proxy. Chairman
Nandiver then laid before the commit
tee the resignation of the city eNecu-
tive committee and, on motion of Mr..
Richard J. Penn, of Baltimore city, it
was accepted without debate. The fur
niture and papers of the committee
were later turned over to the super
visory committee. The plan for con-
troll of city primaries was presented
the committee by the city members
and, on motion of Col. Buchanan Schley,
referred to a committee Of one from
each congressional district. The COM
mittee retired to discuss the plan,
which it decided to report favorab1y.
The dates of conventions for nomi-
rating candidates for Congress were
fixed by the committee as follows:
First Congressional District-Ocean
City, August 25th.
Second District lkton, September
18th.
Third District-Carroll Hall, Sep
tember l4th.
Fourth District-China Hall, Sep

The twenty-third and twcnty-fourth
wards, Of Baltimore City, comprising
part of the lif,h congressional district
will have four delegates to the fifth
congressional district convention.
The fact that tie meeting was one
Of the largest and most harmonious
held for years shows that there is great
vitality in the Democratic party OF the
State, and the indications point to n
restoration OF union and harnCrN
amongst Democrats and a sweeping
victory next year when a general cleo
ton will take place.

VENTILATION OF SCHOOLS.

At the annual meeting of the Maryland
Public Health Association, held in Balti-
more recently, DR.. Augustus Stablcr
read a paper on "The Ventilation of Small
School Houses" He said in part:
Two things should be utilized to pro-
vide pure ventilation. First, fresh air
must be furnished through Il large metal
or wooden flue which Introduces the air
into the room just under the stove or
other source of heat. This inlet should
be provided with gate, or valve, which
may be partially closed in windy weather
but so constructed rs never to shut
absolutely tight then, again. a vcntila-
ting chimney, with Il large opening near
the floor, somewhat in the nature of an
open fireplace, should be arranged. If
the stovepipc is inserted in this chimney,
then the waste heat escaping through the
Stovcpipe will create an upward current
in the chimney, which will provide the
necessary auction to lift the air which
enters the lower opening into the chin
ncy. Such should be the scheme in erect
ing all new buildings.
If, however, the building is already
erected, and funds are limited with which
to meet the needs of health, then the
placing of the simple chimney, made of
plain wooden boards, in the corner Cf the
room, the same being carried several feet
above the roof and surmouAtcl with 4
suction cap, would answer the purpose.
These have been found to act satisfac
torily where not more than thirty or
forty persons occupy the room

Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn, is au
thority for the statement that the former
Spanish flagship, the Infanta Maria Teresa,
has tloated off the reef on which she
stranded, and that her heavy armament is
practically uninjured.
The Captain also says this cruiser will
almost surely be saved and form an add-
ton to the United States Navy. The Girls
tobal Colon may also be saved, though Il
good deal depends on the weather, which
is uncertain this time of the year. A heavy
storm might dive the cruiser so high on
the coral reef that it would be impossible
to float her.
Many naval men are outspoken in their
criticism of the treatment of the Colon
Immediately after her surrender. They
believe the ship could have been saved
when she slipped back from the reef into
deep water had divers, carpenters and ma
chinistS, with 4 competent prize crew,
been sent on board of her.
OF the four big ships which were in Adj
UllIdl AclN era liCet only TWO arc surely
doomed to destruction. They are the Wis
