Driven Into q Pocket.


Although all the past efforts of our
troops to get into the rear of the in
surgents have failed up to this time,
by sheer force of the battering ram the
enemy has been driven back step by
step into the pocket where nothing will
be left for them but surrender or the
mountains. Over IS miles, as the crow
flies. the rebels have been forced back.
Only Slight Resistance.
Manila, May 19.-Col. Summers COM

infantry. on the left. the Minnesota
regiment in the center and the Oregon
and North Dakota regiments on tho
right. preceded by scouts and accom-
panied by Scott's battery Of artillery,
advanced from Baluarte at daylight.
The troops first encountered the en-

rebels retiring when our artillery
opened fire. Just outside the town,

men. was entrenched. 1t made a
slight resistance, but quilted it's posi-
ton when our troops turned it's right
flank.
The Losses.
The enemy's loss was Is men killed
and 20 wounded. Our troops also cap
tured three prisoners and MANY rifles.
On the American side one soldier of
the Oregon regiment and one of the
Minnesota regiment were slightly
wounded.
After capturing the town, Col. Sum-
mers' troops continued their advance,
pursuing the retreating rebels for sew
eral miles.
Pushing Forward.

the Rio Grande, yesterday. meeting
with but slight opposition. One man
was wounded during brush with the
rebels. At daybreak to-day the Ameri-
cans began a further advance toward
Candaba, about six miles up the, river
beyond San Luis. The insurgents
along Gen. MacArthur's front evacu-
ated their positions during the night
time, presumably moving further up
the railroad. The Twenty-third in

Havana, May 16.-Gen. Maxine Co.
mez informed Gov. Gen. Brooke Monday
that he must withdraw from the plan
for distributing the $3,0o0,00O appro-
priated to the payment of the Cuban
troops to the extent that he will not
name other commissioners to replace
those originally named by him, who
have refused to serve.
Gen. Gomez added that he had ar
rived at this decision with great re-
luctance and with the most friendly
feelings toward Gen. Brooke person
ally and officially, but he felt he could
no longer represent the Cuban army
because cabal, composed of many of
the subordinate commanders, existed
to oppose and, if possible, defeat the
plans for partitioning the money.
Gen. Brooke expressed sympathy
with Gen. Gomez and said he regretted
the position he had taken; but, the
American commander added, if his
decision was Interchangeable he would
proceed to deal with the question
alone.

Situation Not Critical.

Washington, May 17.-Gen: Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba, and it is
not believed at the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condi-
ton of affairs
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerat ions The United States will
remain for the present in absolute con-
troll of the island and the orders of the
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.

A New Plan.

Gov. Gen. Brooke is to go ahead with
new plan, Gomez remaining in an at
titude of friendly inactivity. Gen.
Brooke will issue an order for Cuban
pr;vates and noncommissioned officers
to meet at specified places on specified
dates to receive payment. They are to
be accompanied by their company Off
GERS, for the purpose of Identification.
Both Gen. Gomez and the governor gen
eral feel that the privates ought not to
lose their share in the American gra-
tuity merely because the schemes of
certain high officers in the Cuban army
have interposed obstacles. The belief
among the Americans is that the COM
pany officers will assist in this way.
Gen. Brooke's order will be disseminate
ell through the newspapers, placarded
in the post Offices and given the widest
circulation practicable.
Monday afternoon Gen. Gomez wrote
history of his relation to the army
payment question. 1t includes the cor
respondence that has passed between
himself and the governor general. and
i. is intended to make his position clear
to the public, and to contrast his con-
duct favorably with that of the other
Cuban leaders,.
Rumor That Brooke Has Yielded.
There is a rumor which has gained
much credence to the effect that Gen.
Brooke waived the hateful condition
requiring the surrender of the insur-
gent arms to the American officials and
assented to their delivery instead to the
civil authorities of the districts in
which the various commands are now
stationed. The custody of these arms
is the chief point of contention in the
controversy which has arisen touching
the manner of distributing the money.
Whether the arms are to be given up or
not is a question which the American
military authorities evade for diplo-
matte or other reasons. The Cubans,
and even Gen. Gomez friends, say that
the arms will be delivered to the vari-
Gus municipalities and kept by the re-
spective mayors as trophies of the war
for independence,

Value of Employment.

One of the reasons that dairying has
been profitable to the Wisconsin farmer
is the fact that this industry gives
steady employment throughout the en-
tire year not only to the farmer him
self, but in some measure to his chill
dren, large and small. as we'll. This
factor is often of the highest impor
tance and brings the dairy industry in
strong contrast with grain growing,
where labor is employed only part of
the season to be idle the rest of the
time. There are farmers who have no
children to assist with stock and who
own considerable tracts of land Such
persons, if they do not care to pay heavy
help bills, naturally turn to stock opera
tions, in which one person can manage
a large number of cattle. With them
dairying is not favorite line, while
steer feeding or the handling Of sheep

Milk Producing Food.

At the Massachusetts experiment sta
tion they have been comparing gluten
meal and cornmeal, using corn fodder,
hay and bran alike with each, with re-
suits in favor of the gluten meal in
quantity of milk and butter produced.
They found the food cost Of milk was
16 cents per 100 quarts less and Of but
ter 1 cent pound less when the gluten
was fed than when cornmeal was fed.
This was the average for the whole
herd, 151a cents pound for butter on
gluten meal and 161a cents on corn
meal, but the best cow produced on
gluten meal 10 pounds of butter a
week, costing IA cents a pound and
the poorest COW produced 81 pounds a
week at cost of 1873 cents a pound,
almost cents pound difference. On
the cornmeal ration the best COW pro-
duced 81 pounds of butter week and
the poorest a pounds, and the differ
ence in cost was but 2 cents pound.
This indicates that the better the COW
the greater the gain by giving her milk
producing food, and we think that need
not be limited to the question of gluten
or corn meal, but it is applicab BILE to en-
silage, clover, alfalfa and other foods
which are known to increase the milk
production.

DEAFNESS cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dit. hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine ses out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.

Variety of Feed.

While COWS need a variety, they
want it to come by having mixture
of feeds at each meal and not by receiv
ing one kind of feed at one meal, an
other in the next and still another at
the third. Such method of giving
variety is sure to reduce the yield, as
the COW at a given feeding time expects
the same kind of feed that she ate yes
terday at the same time, and if not
given this she will be disturbed and
will give less milk 1t is not necessary
to give a COW the same kinds of feed
for supper that she had for breakfast,
but the breakfast mixture should be
alike for all breakfasts and the supper
feeds the same for all suppers for con-
siderable period Sudden changes usual
ly decrease the milk yield even when
the new ration is better than the old,
and when it is necessary to make a
change it should be made gradually,
taking week or ten days to make any
radical change. Live Stock

Drying Up Cows.

To dry up COW reduce the feed,
take away the grain, and when the
milk yield drops milk first once day,
then once in two days, and in one to
two weeks the average cow will be dry
and her udder in good condition. With
persistent mixers there is seldom diff
Guilty if hay only is fed for time If
COW continues to give milk under this
treatment or if the udder is hard and
feverish, the work Of drying up must
stop and the ration be changed to a
light milk ration with loosening feeds
and the cow MIXED regularly. Forced
drying up under these conditions in
jures the cow. If by oversight the dry
ing up process has been neglected until
within three or four weeks of calving,
do not attempt it. as there is risk Of in
jury to the health of the COW and her
udder. After becoming dry the COW
will need little attention before calving
if she is on good pasture, except to see
that she has plenty of good water and
shade, is comfortable and not annoyed
or injured by other cattle, particularly
steers. If the COW is on dry feed, more
attention is necessary. She must be in
fair condition, but not fat and should
have bulky feeds-both roughness and
grain-and succulent feed is exceeding
ly desirable, either ensilage or roots.
One Of the best grain mixtures for cows
before calving is by weight two-t thirds
bran and one-third linseed meal. This
grain mixture is good one for the first
two weeks after calving, Alfalfa hay
is excellent for roughness. The bowels
should be kept loose This is essential
and needs more attention than any
other condition, and for this purpose
roots and ensilage are very helpful.
Corn and cornmeal should not be fed

COUNTERFEIT BUTTER.
TnsidiOus Foes Trying to Undermine
the Dniry Interest.

The dairy interest, in so far as 1t APP
plies to butter, has never been obliged
10 recognize more powerful and insidi-
GUS foes than today, says Live Stock.
Never was the need greater for concert
ed action among agricultural classes and
their representatives in legislative and
executive branches of state and nation
al government. In a number of our
states laws are badly needed which will
afford adequate protection to the inno-
cent consumer and at the same time
preserve the integrity of dairy and
creamery butter and conserve the bust
ness health of the milk producer and
the butter maker. That gigantic fraud,
Oleomargarine, remains stubbornly in
trenched in a few states, notably Hi
nois. Those engaged in its manufacture
are afraid to offer it honestly for what
it is, but disguise its CHASTITY face
through the stolen livery of the genuine
product and covertly sell it for what it
is not.
Perhaps less reprehensible, yet quite
outside che pale of a legitimate dairy
product, is process butter. This is
compound of various grades Of butter,
manipulated by boiling, rehandling and
returning and the use of preserva-
tives. While technically butter, and
therefore not subject to stamp tax, as is
oleomargarine, it is none the less fraudu-
lent. It completes with creamery butter,
too, often being sold to the consumer as
such, although originally secured by the
manipulators at figures as low as to 6
cents per pound. Our dairy interests
hould not rest until this fraud is chased
into the light and forced to sell for ex-
actly what it is-'' embalmed" butter.
Fortunately the Pennsylvania depart
ment of agriculture has decided that it
must be plainly labeled renovated but

i've. At Albany a like measure prom

At late session of the French Ma
tional Agricultural society, Paris a
molasses cake was exhibited which, it is
said, had been used for cattle feed with
excellent effect. The cake is made by
Partisan, Mr.. A Vaury, the well known
maker of bread for the army. It's man
ufacture consists in the boiling Of mo-
lasses and working it briskly with mix
ture of corn flour and bran, when it is
pressed into the ordinary form of cake
and packed in bags for sale. The pro-
portions used are one-third molasses,
one-third -four, one-third bran. The
suburban dairymen claimed that in the
use of this molasses cake there are extra
yield of milk and an increase in pro-
portion of butter fat. The proper guam
tity in feeding should be six to ten
pounds daily, which is not intended as
a basis of food, but as a condiment and
to assist digestion. National Pro-

AERATION OF MILK.
A Simple Method of Increasing Quail
ity and Price.


There is hardly a place in which
milk is used that it will not pay to cool
and aerate it at the same time Such
milk brought to the creamery or cheese
factory, if all the patrons would prac-
tice it, would show at once in the in
creased quality OF the product and the
price. The difficulty is that there are
so many patrons who don't believe i'll
any improvement if it is going to cost
something 20 set it at work. Yet wher
ever there is a factory OF creamery that
has prevailed on the patrons to practice
aeration and cooling that institution
stands high in the price received for it's
product, says the Elgin Dairy Report.
Do not be misled by few cranks
who will tell you that the aeration OF
milk is of no value; who will tell you
that aerated milk will not remain sweet
one whit longer than any other. Do
not be misled by these, we say, but try
Cor yourself. Get good combined cooler
and aerator and use it every day in the
gear, winter and summer alike.
In buying cooler and aerator dom t
make the mistake of getting one that
stirs the milk without cooling it. Don t
make the mistake of getting one that
cools the milk before it airs it, as aera
ton to drive out animal and food odors
must be done while the milk is hot
from the cow and before any reduction
in the temperature has been made.
Don't make the mistake of getting one
with many joints and pipes in contact
with the milk. Don't get one which
does not allow the milk plenty of fall
through the air to allow the animal
gases to escape. Don't get one that is
bulky and hard to handle or one that
will soon rust out because it is impos-
sible to dry cut the cooling tank OF
pipes.
