Not More Crea meries but Better Cows.

Not More Crea meries but Better Cows.
G. l.. Hubbell: What we want is less
creameries and more and better cows.
IL half the creameries in Iowa were
to be permanently closed to-day there
would still be enough to do all the bus
mess, and in expenses alone there
would be saved at least $4,000 per day,
or 100000 annually. This amount
would be added to the profits of the
producer, besides the gain through i'm
proved quality. No, we as a state can
not afford to spend any more money
in creamery buildings and machinery,
but if the business is to grow in Iowa
let our surplus be spent in increasing
our herds and improving our methods
to the end that the cost Of production
may be made less and not more.
creamery which makes 100000 pounds
Of butter per annum will make the
dairy business much more profitable to
the producers than could three cream
cries on the same territory. Concen-
tration, Capitalization and true co-ope-
ration are the conditions that must
hereafter be observed to show any
profit in the cow.

Ice Water In Winter.

There is no more reason why Ice
water should be given to fowls in win
ter than to other stock. Too often we
know all kinds of stock on farm re-
ceive only ice water, but this should
never be so. 1t is always easy to give
the fowls warm or tepid water, at least
in the morning. 1t will not only help
the egg supply, but it will tend to pre-
vent indigestion. Who knows what eff
fects may result from carelessness in
this matter? Then, too, il the water
be warmed it will not freeze so soon
on cold days and can thus be left till
the hens have all taken what they want
and even till it is more convenient to
remove it. Water is necessary for the
digestion of food and acts as gen.
eral carrier. 1t is therefore necessary
to supply it in considerable quantities.
When it is tepid or warm the fowls
will drink far more than when it is
icy cold.

Roquefort Cheese Deteriorated.-For
many years epicures have delighted in
the flavor Of Roquefort cheese, which
was made from the milk of ewes, fed
in pastures containing an abundance of
wild thyme. AS the trade increased,
the thyme-clad banks of the Larnac
and Aveyron failed to yield sufficient
pasturage, so the flocks were fed in
grassy meadows, where they produced
more milk, but of inferior quality. The
cheesemakers, spoiled by prosperity,
took to the practice of mixing cows
milk with that of the ewes, and then
deteriorated their product still further
by artificially ripening the cheese. The
result is that buyers now look askance
at so-called Roquefort cheese, and a
business which formerly provided en-
ployment for over 100000 people is at O
standstill, with little hope of revival
The Roquefort cheese makers, like the
misguided manufacturers of filled
cheese in this country, will realize that
it is necessary to maintain a standard,
as well as to attain it.-Rural New
Yorker.

Of other, and what is regarded as more

Color of Butter.-A New York but
ter man says: The color of the butter
is OF great Importance For years there
was a prevailing opinion that consum-
ers wanted deep yellow, almost red
dish color to their butter, and butter
makers tried to give them just what
they wanted. But this requirement, if
it ever existed. has changed very much,
and there is now growing demand for
pale color. High colored butter does
not look we'll at best, and the addition
of SO much coloring matter imparts
foreign flavor. Our home jobbers sell
dom complain of too light color, and
the constant call from the export trade
is for pale butter. Il can't under

Gently, why the Americans persist in
painting their butter red" This is
defect too easily remedied to exist any
longer, and it should claim the atten
ton Of our buttermakers at once.

BAKER CITY (Or.), Oct. IA spe-
cial from Canyon City states that a
young man who was member of the
Sheriff's posse has just returned to
Canyon City with report of a desper-
ate fight between the whites and a
renegade band of Indians.
The nineteen white men and five
buck warriors were about forty feet
apart when the battle began. George
Cuttings, son of David Cuttings, re-
ceived a ball in the left arm, the mis-
sile passing through his lungs.
One of the Indians, who was shot
and killed, fought with desperate cour-
age After being repeatedly shot, he
continued firing his rifle until it was
empty, then fired his revolver until the
muzzle dropped so low that the bullets
struck the ground near his side.
George Cuttings, after receiving a
wound, started, in company with M.
Mosier, for lee, near the scene of
the trouble. The wounded man be-
came so weak that he was left near
the trail propped up against a tree.
When the searching party went to look
for Cuttings they found his body near
a spring where he had crawled. The
posse continued in pursuit, and after a
running battle killed all Of the five
Indians
Settlers have sent to Canyon City for
more ammunition. stating that the In
dians are gathering around lee in

The trouble arose over the Indians

of the Copper River with seven pas
sengers, among them A. j. Garrity of
San Francisco, who has spent more

He says: Natives say copper has
been found on Chitna River, 175 miles
south of Copper River. and a party Of
fifteen will remain there over winter to
prospect for the main copper de-
posit.''
Nicholas Mast, the talking chief"
of the Copper River Indians, claims to
know the exact location of copper
deposit, but he refuses offers of several
hundred dollars to guide people to it's
locations. Indians use copper for max
ing bracelets and other ornaments and
cooking utensils, and the chief claims
that the whites will limit the supply,
and thereby deprive many Indians from
means of making a living.

FALL OF FRENCH MINISTRY.
Why the Brisson Cabinet Resigned
Office.

LONDON. Oct. 2S.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily News" says:
The Brisson Cabinet was oven turned
ostensibly because it failed to protect
the army from slander. The real facts
are that the Ministers constantly but
vainly urged the staff officers to take
proceedings against their slanderers.
General Mercier, General Zurinden and
General Chanoine all declined to assist
the Government to vindicate the armys
honor, on the plea that it was useless
to proceed against filthy newspaper
rags"
General Chanoine's resignation was
timed to prevent the civil power get
ting hold of the Dreyfus dossier. 1t was
calculated that if he went out slam
ming the door, the Government would
be beaten by Parliament, afraid OF hav-
ing the army and people against it. The
coup was fixed for to-day (Thursday).
but M. Roulede's sting provoked Cha
noine to precipitate the matter.
However, the desired object has been
accomplished. NJ. Brisson was unable
during the suspension of the sitting of
the chamber on Tuesday to obtain NJ
Faures signature for the nomination
of a new Minister of War. Had he sue
ceeded, the secret dossier would now be
before the Court of Cessation, but M.
Lockroy, who was then ad interim War
Minister could not take the initiative.
The custodians of the dossier can re-
fuse to let him see it.

VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS.
Order Relating to Those Who En-
listed in the Regular Army.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-By direc-
ton of the Secretary of War, Colonel
Thomas Ward, Acting Adjutant Cen
eral, has issued a general order in re-
gard to the case of members of volun-
teer organizations who enlisted there
from in the regular army. 1t is ex-
planatory of a previous general order
issued in September last, prescribing
that such men will be given credit for
their service in the volunteer army.
The Endorsement required by the reg
ulations on the enlistment papers of
men who have served in the volunteer
army and subsequently enlist in the
regular army results in giving to such
soldiers credit on the records of the
department for time actually served in
the volunteer service, but without in
tention that the terms of the enlist
ment or re-enlistment in the regular
army shall be shortened by reason of
volunteer service.
According to the order just issued,
such soldiers begin new enlistment
in the regular army for the full terms
of three years, and their clothing al
lowance, likewise, begins at the first
years rates. The age limitation of 80
years for original enlistments in the
regular army does not apply in such
cases. The principal advantage, how
ever, accrues to those who re-enlist in
the regular army within three months
from the date of discharge from the
volunteer army. In their cases. the
time actually served in the volunteers
is added to the time served in the reg
ular army in computing the soldiers
service pay, from time to time.
Future enlistments and enlistments
in the regular army will not be gov
erned by the same rules, which OBJ
tanned during the war with Spain May
10th last Major General Miles, with the
approval of the Secretary of War is
sued an order announcing that men
enlisted or re-enlisted in the regular
army during the war may be informed
that they will be granted their dis
charges, if desired, at the close of the
war, upon their individual applica-
tions."
General Miles to-day issued an order
reVoking the previous order and an
nouncing that it's provisions will not
govern in the cases of men hereafter
enlisted or re-enlisted in the regular
army. Under this action. enlistmerts

Most of the Sickness at Tampa
Originated in Swampy Con-
dition of the Camp.

HUNTSVILLE (Ala), Oct. 2l.-The
War Investigating Commission pesah
it's work to-day with Captain Augues'
who was in the Quartermaster's De
partment at Tampa. He said that LOT
a time the department was sWampeu
there. but he attributed the congestloh
to the railroads.
Captain Gutter, an Ohio volunteer
surgeon who had charge of the Arnpu-
lance Corps at Tampa, said there was
shortage Of ambulances there, and that
the camp conditions were bad.
Colonel Duffy of the Sixty ninth New
York said his command had never
lacked commissary supplies, but that
there was some delay in furnishing
ouartermaster stores. The sick had
been well cared for, and while he had
seen some criticisms in the New York
newspapers, he thought most of the
sickness originated in the swampy
camp at Tampa. There they had to dig
only six inches to get water, and there
were no tent floors. He said there had
been sixteen deaths in the regiment.
CAPTAIN Charles V. Parkhurst of the
Second Artillery detailed the partici-
pations of the artillery in the siege Of
u.
men did not have time to eat, but there
was no time when they did not have
food. There was also plenty of forage
for the horses. He was wounded twice
on the I'd of July, and his wounds were
dressed within few minutes after they
were received.
First Lieutenant Conkling of the Sec
ond Artillery, who was in the Santiago

in the supplies was in the powder,
which he thought should have been
smokeless. He said that in going to
Cuba the guns and horses were sep
arated, but he understood that this
could not be avoided. He was the only
member of his battery, officer or man.
that had not been sick as q result of
the Cuban campaign, but he did not
think the sickness could have been pre-
vented.
Major Lebo, in command of the Sixth
Infantry complained of the difficulty
of securing lumber, firewood, horse
shoes and stoves in the camp here. He
also said the tents were of poor ma
terial, and leaked even when new. He
also said there had not been sufficient
medical supplies in Cuba, and that the
transport Gate City, in which the COM
mand came north, was poorly suited to
the purpose.
Captain Stretch of the Tenth Infantry
gave in detail the hardships of the reg
iment during the San Juan fight He
said there was no time when the men
had nothing to eat, but he did not re-
member having drawn a full ration
while in Cuba. He said the sick of the
command We're fed at Montauk better
than they had ever been in their lives
The War Investigation Commission
devoted the afternoon to an inspection
of the military camp at this place. The
camp was found in good order. The
men generally were putting things in
order very much as though they ex-
pected to remain all winter. There
were several complaints of poor tents.

FIRE AT FRESNO.
Twelve Thousand Dollars Worth
of Property DESTROYED.

FRESNO, Oct. PA fire broke out
about 10 o'clock this evening in the
furniture store of w. F. McVey, and
in half an hour the place was COM
pletely gutted and $4,000 worth of
property destroyed.
The fire began in the rear Of the
store, where considerable excelsior and
other infiammable material was stored,
and spread rapidly. Had it not been
for the bursting of hose, however, it
is likely that some of the property
could have been saved.
McVey's stock was valued at $1O,-
600, and the insurance on it was $4,000.
The damage to the building, which is
owned by the Bradley heirs, amounts
to about $1,000.
Nothing is known of the origin Of

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Believed at Paris That the United
States Will Retain Them.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Standard says:
The Government has good reason to
believe that the United States intends
to retain the Philippines on the ground
that President Mckinley must satisfy
public opinion.
The Government believes that the
American Commissioners will argue the
necessity Of thus deviating from the
spirit and text of the protocol, on the
ground that the condition of things in
the Island of Luzon and the archipelago
renders ii impossible for America to
abandon her native allies, or for Spain
to re-establish her rule without heavy
sacrifices Of men and money, and fin
ally because Spain could not be al
lowed to retain possession except under
conditions unpalatable to Spain and
her colonial traditions.
Spain, however. cannot yet believe
she will be deprived of the Philippines
without some pecuniary compensation
in addition to the Philippines loan of
1896. Therefore upon the question of
the Philippines the Spanish Commits
sioners will make even a stronger re-
sistance than they have made over the
Cuban debt
