EVACUATION DAY PROGRAM
Warning of the Coming Re-
gime of Law and Order.

| Havana, Dec 6.-The American evac.
uation commissioners will tomorrow issue
the following proclamation to the irhabi-
tants of the island of Cuba:
1.-The Undersigned commissioners on the
| part OF the United States, having been in
vested with power by the president TO ar
range for and execute the evacuation OF
Cuba and adjacent islands, and also taking
over the public property of Spain, have
entered into an agreement with the COM
missioners on the part of Spain for the
final ceremonies and regulations to be OBJ
served and carried out on the first day of
| January and thereafter until all Spanish
troops snail, have embarked for repatria-
ton. and the same is published for the
guidance of the inhabitants and others out
side of the Santiago district.
The undersigned desire in this public
manner to impress and enjoin upon al 1.-The
people of the island the necessity for strict
compliance with the terms of this agree
ment, to the end that public order and due
respect for the gravity of the occasion may
prevail, and especially to admonish all
classes OF people to exercise self-restraint
and moderation and refrain from giving
cause of offense or irritation, and from the
exhibition of excitement, undue manifesto
tion of feeling, or from doing any act cal
culated to produce irritation or bad feS-
ing.
For nearly four months this commission
and other officials of the United States
have been under the protection of the
Spanish authorities. They have extended
to US the most scrupnlous courtesy and
consideration and not one unpleasant in
cident has marred our sojourn IN their
midst, and now that our positions are soon
to be reversed and they are to become our
guests and entitled TO our protection, we
must see to It that they enjoy the same
immunity and consideration. Apart from
the eminent propriety OF sstch a course the
best interests Of all classes-Cubans. Span
1erds and Americans-will be thereby sub
served.
Acting under sense of duty to the
people and our government, we give notice
that any violation of the terms and provi-
sions OF this agreement will be resented
and offenders brought promptly to Justice

self whether she would like to hear
Herself or her sister spoken CT as a
shop girl or factory girl or a servant
girl, if necessity had compelled her for
time to be employed in any one OF
the ways indicated. If she would
shrink from it little, then she is lit

PEELED, into a class by themselves, feel

son who has accepted her work. and is
doing it faithfully,( whatever it is.
This designating others by their casu-

Yield of MILF

An instructive illustration Of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection, is
afforded by some details recently given
publicity to in connection with a prom
fnent herd, says an exchange. About
dozen years ago the milk of all the
cows comprised in this herd-over 60
in number-was carefully analysed.
Nine Of the cows were found to be
yielding milk showing over per cent
OF butter fat, twenty-five were yielding
over per cent, fourteen were Yield
ing per cent, and twenty-three were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward, calves were only kept of
the cows which yielded milk showing
over ~ per cent Of butter fat, and
the tribes Of the others were gradually
weeded out. By the aid Of regularly
kept milk record the product Of every
COW is known. and none is kept for
any length Of time which does not
yield over 600 gallons per annum. BY
combining what is learned from the
analysis and the milking record. and
only keeping calves from cows whose

quality and quantity. the milking prom

Loss by Too Cold Milk.

The Maine Farmer says: "a repre-
sentative of Maine creamery has
been testing the skimmilk of it's pa
irons, and taking the temperature of
the tank in which the deep cans were
placed for cooling and raising the
cream. Very much to his surprise, he
found that many of them kept their
milk too cold. He found the skimmilk
most free from butter fat when the
temperature was nearest to As degrees.
At 36 degrees there was from one to
tWo-tenths of one per cent. more of
butter fat in the skimmilk than when
1t was kept at As degrees, or near that
point" A difference of that amount,
or one or two pounds of butter in a
thousand pounds of milk seems
small amount, and would be in one
cows milk, yet it is worth saving,
and would be very important item
in creamery where they were using
the milk of several hundreds COWS all
the season. But the important point
is that this loss is obtained at some
extra expense. With water from a
cold we'll or spring it would require
very little ice to maintain a temper
allure Of As degrees, while to cool to
SO degrees would require heavy icing.
1t is poor economy to expend 81 worth
of ice to lose so cents worth of butter.

Chlcago's Milk Supply.

N. H. Warren, dairy farmer of
Wasco, ILL.,. has written an open letter
to Commissioner of Health Reynolds
in reply to the circular sent to pro-
ducers, handlers and shippers of milk
for the Chicago market. This circular
dealt with the danger of contamination
of the milk supply. Mr.. Warren says
the old dairymen, who are careful in
their handling of milk, are discouraged
because of the starvation price of
milk"-a yearly average of 2 cents a
quart-paid by the dealers in Chicago.
Many, therefore, are selling their cows,
probably to give place to new dairy
men who are not competent or willing
to deliver as good an article in as good
condition as the old dairymen. He
thinks some measure should be taken
to give the men who own the COWS a
living price for their milk and remove
the temptation to employ cheap,
slovenly help in the dairies. Commits
sioner Reynolds commends the writer
for Ibis intelligent presentation of the
case," but says: "Of course, the de-
partment of health cannot regulate the
price of milk"
