Irish Nationalist Says America Of Necessity
Will Own West Indies.

London. July 3.-During the debate
on the second reading of the military
works bill, john Dillon, Nationalist,
objected to the proposed expenditure
on the dcfeuses at Halifax and Ber-
muda. adding that he firmly believed
all the West Indian islands would soon
belong to the United States, as the in

inhabitants of the British West Indies,
Mr. Dillon said. would find they must

since nature intended those islands to

The people Of the islands will uIti-

they would have 10 advance more loans
to the islands ana they would soon

contest. which was brim full Of excit-
ing episodes and full of hard and scien-

that after being ordered to break no
blows should be struck from clnch.

drubbing and was only saved from a

Butter Fat.

AS has been pointed out before in
these columns, the per cent of butter
fat that milk contains is not depend
ent so much on the kind of food the
cow eats as on the COW herself, says
Coleman's Rural World. The butter
fat content of milk is an individual
and inherent characteristic and is not
varied by the character of the food
eaten, except within very narrow lin
its. 1t is a characteristic that is trans
Missile by sire and dam to progeny,
even through a number OF generations
and 1t is because of this fact that we
have individuals, herds, families and
breeds that are noted for the large per
cent of butter fat found in their milk
One expects a Jersey COW to give rich
milk, although the expectation is not
always met From a Holstein COW we
usually look for a large flow of milk,
but not a high per cent of fat. II 1t
were possible to feed fat into milk by
giving rich food, it would be an easy
matter to get together a herd OF cows
that would average 500 pounds of but
ter a year by taking a lot of heavy
milking Holstein COWS and then feed
ing such food as is supposed to add
to the fat content of the milk 1t is not
to be understood that the butter fat"
Characteristic is absolutely unchange-
able, for such is not the case; but
greater changes are made in it by
other means than by tho food eaten.
Exposure to unaccustomed extremes
of temperature, rough treatment and
other causes Of excitement will result
in material reduction in the per cent
OF butter fat.
