Milk as Food on the Farm.

10 every city resident one of the
advantages of living in the country is
that those living there can easily
secure fresh and pure milk directly
from the COW. 1t is most valuable
food product, whether used directly
as milk or cooked in custards and
cakes, in the various ways that milk
and crenm can be used. Probably
most housewives who have lived in
the country find when they remove to
the city that the absence of the best
milk and cream which they used to
have in abundance was stronger
handicap to successful cooking than
anything else. At the wholesale prices
that are all that milk producers can
get for milk it is much cheaper food
than any other that comes on their
tables. Ii farmers ate more of their
milk product they would be better off
physically as we'll as financially.
What they then sold would probably
bring as much as does the larger por-
tion that they sell now.

There is something about lard

after the fat is tried ont of lard, that
makes them especially liked by hens
in cold weather. They are very warm

they will redden fowls combs and set
them to laying in cold weather when
no other feed will do so.

COMPLICATIONS AT MANILA.
IL is Said That Manila is Occupied by
Forces from Foreign Ships There.

LONDON. June 2.-The Daily News
publishes a statement. alleged to come
from a correspondent having access 10
good information that the occupation OF
Manila by parts OF the crews OF the for
eign warships there is an accomplished
fact. although It may probably be three
or four days before the official news ar
rives by way Of Hong Kong.
The communication proceeds 10 say:
over n month ago Admiral Dewey pre-
parted 10 lombard Manila. At this juno
ture. however, a new factor was added 10
the situation. The German Consul. acting
on precise instructions which had just
arrived by the German warship Irene.
strongly opposed a bombardment.
These instructions were clear and cate
gorlcal and emanated directly from En-
per0r Williams Cabinet.
lit was then that Admiral Dewey ask
ed for rcinf0rcements and supplied Aguin-
aldo with arms While Germany gather
ed a naval force. the intention AT Berlin
was. If not 10 take possession OF Manila
ae least 10 cooperate In the landing.
Admiral Dewey's force not being sufii-
cient 10 protect German interests Cap
tain-General August had on his part in
formed his government OF the situation
and several interviews took place at
Madril with the German Amba;ss ador.
the result being that II was decided Cap
tain-Generai August should appeal TO
the foreign warships al Manila. excluding
the American 20 protect the lives and
property OF the inhabitants against the
insurgents.
1T was an indirect way Of captivating
while sparng Spanish amour propre.
There is no doubt Admiral Won Diede-
richs has taken command OF the forces
landed. although he has not taken pos
session IN behalf OF Germany. but will
he. when the American achievements
arrive. be willing 10 allow his forces 10
re-embark. The whole question lies
there"
