REPORT THAT SOLDIERS
ATE HORSE MEAT.
Raior Lee, Counsel for Miles,
Will Trv to Prove the
Charge.

Washington, March There is a
prospect of getting new light on the
war department beef scandal. There
is . strong possibility that much Of
tie canned roast beef TO which the
troops on transports and in the
fields of Cuba and Porto Rico OBJ
5ected was not beef at all, but horse
meat. This is theory constructed
by some men who have closely fol-
lowed the proceedings Of the Alger
Relief Commission and the court Of
inquiry It is a theory built on
strong circumstautial evidence.
The theory has been accepted by
Major Lee, the counsel for General
Miles,, and he will seek to prove, &C,
:o7ding to the rules Of evidence that
nzch OF the alleged canned roast
beef furnished to the army was boil
cd horse Msjor Lee will insist on
sending bona fde specimen can to
she bureau OF animal industry of the
department of agriculture for exam
ination. The cans Of meat hitherto
submitted to the department of az
nculture for chemical analysis with
a view of determining the nutrition
OF the meat were not represent ative |
cans; that is, they were not fair sam
pies of the meat issued to the troops
during the campaign il the tropics;
they did not contain the kind Of
meat which sickene3 the soldiers /
and against which they vehementIy |
protested.
Nearly every line officer, both reg /
nlar and volunteer, who has been !
called before the Miles Court of In
auiry has testified that the men
yould not eat the canned roast meat /
They woulj throw it away, causing
great shortage IN their rations and |
suffer from great hanger rather
than eat it. 1t nRusaated them and /
made them unfit for military duty.
Every private and noIcommissioned
officer who appeared before the
SQUIRT insisted that the meat
Tasted strange, did not smell like
the kind of beef used at home, was
dark red, course and fbrous. That
it was tough and stringy and that

GcE lam REVENUE
Jefferson, Mo, March 9 With
but slight opposition, the senate
passed this morning one Of the many
measures which have been iniroduc.

states revenue at the expense of the
counties. The measure passed this
morning is the Wilson bill II pro
vides that the Pc ceut tax now
collected on the business done in
this state by foreign insurance com
panIes be turned into the state
treasury and credited to the general

law, one half of this tax goes to the
counties for their SCHOOLS. Now it
is proposed to give it all to the
state
La the year 1898 this tax brought

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Lime and ashes help to secure n good
development of roots.
With all kinds of fruit appearance is
a great factor in selling.
Fruit that is badly injured, poor and
watery, will not keep well under any
circumstances.
In orchard planting select with a
view to good bearing, good quality and
good marketing.
The red raspberries are propagated
by suckers, the surplus of which must
he destroyed, the same as weeds.
Small fruit plants should make a
good growth this season if they are to
yield a good crop of fruit next year.
Plants that propagate from suckers
should always be planted where the
grower can cultivate all around them.
Use raspberry tips from young plants
in propagating, rather than from old
ones. They will produce thriftier
plants.
Onions should DE harvested as soon
as the tops die down. Spread them out
under shelter where there is good
ventilation.

MISTAKES IN FEEDING.
Most MIX and Likewise Re-
auires the Hest Food.

II is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One in
clined to go to fat makes an excellent
beef COW, but a relatively poor mixer.
As the nervous COW is apt to be smaller
in proportion than n large, fat, beef
making COW, the idea gains some head
way that she requires less food. In
deed, there is tendency in some quar-
ters to reason that Il COW needs food
in proportion to her size; that is, n
large COW requires more than II small
one. This is an error of most pro-
nounced order. 1t is nervous energy
that absorbs and uses up food, and IL
requires more to feed such nature
than it does one of a phlegmatic dispo-
sition. If anything the opposite TO
what is true in general practice should
be observed. More rich and highly con-
centrated food should be given to the
small mixer than TO the large beef
maker. The good mixer. if her di-
gestion is good, can change more of
her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat. A
good deal of this food that is given
to the mixer is converted directly into
milk. and is thus more profitable than
when fed to the beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that of the
heavy beef-making animals. A pillow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high-strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thorough
ly, either in their feeding~er> caring
for good mich cows. AS the whole
value of the animals produets-depends
very closely upon the condition of her
digestion, a study should be made con-
stantly of the cows health. In nor
nal condition she can take n great
amount of food and convert it directly
into milk. This food should be given
with the best possible caution, so that
il will not iniure the health of the
animal. Give all to the COW that she
will eat up clean is good rule to go
by, but If her appetite declines there
is something wrong with her digestion
that needs instant attention. Very fire.
quently this cause is SO simple that one
overlooks it. In a nervous COW sud-
den fright, undue excitement or run
ming in the field, or anything that will
upset the nerves, may cause the flow
OF milk to stop temporarily, and upset
the digestion so that the full quantity
OF milk will not be given for weeks
1t is to guard against such slight acci.

slope deferred maketh the heart
sick Everybody knows that the we'll
made macadam road is thing of beau
~" and, likewise, "a JOY forever" On
the main highways and principal thor
olghfares of the land no other kind of
material should be considered unless
something better shall be discovered
At the present time macadam is the
best, and the best is none too good.
But there are miles and miles of
highways that no one can hope will be
macadamized for--who can say how
many years? They are the quiet, un-
frequented roads which lead off the
main highways and happily meander
through ideal pastoral neighborhoods
Their charm lies i'm the fact that they
are not big, busy thoroughfares. Such
as these are ideal paths until it hap
pens TO rain or they become filed with
superfuity of dust.
About half the time these otherwise
lovely ways are not fit to be Travelled.
And yet during all their seasons of dis
agreeableness. there are hills of gravel
lying within easy reach of their worst
spots. Or there are banks of clay,
which. when burned, would make ex-
cellent ballast.
The point is that people in rural To-
calities where the building of macadam
roads is remote possibility should at
once make thevery best use of the means
and materials at hand. Town meetings
should be called. committees appointed
materials to use, and some substantial
road work should be done this'year.
Don't let good gravel banks stand un-
touched when there are mud-holes or

That they have learned to use the
white mans weapons is proven by the
fact that since the beginning of the
present revolt, or within two months,
over hundred miners and as many
soldiers have been shot by the rebel
lious Indians. Gen. Miles has ex-
pressed the opinion that this war will
not be over for months, and may drift
into years.
At ordinary times the Yaquis are re-
served and exclusive rather than hos
tile. They sometimes desert their vil-
lagos at the approach of strangers,
leaving behind them nothing that can
give aid or comfort to the invaders.
When attempts are made to penetrate
their mountain retreats they OCCASION
ally resort to resistance, but even in
such cases they rarely do more than
block the paths by which strangers
must advance. Great rocks and trees
are thrown across the narrow trails,
stopping all progress of curiosity seek
ers and mining prospectors.
The Yaquis are Industrious and law
abiding, but Mexican regulation re-
quiring all men to wear trousers has
always been particularly obnoxious to
them. When they visit n so-called civ
ilized village to sell their pottery,
woven mats and baskets they do not
put on their trousers until they are
about to enter the corporate limits, and
on the homeward journey they take Off
the hated garments as soon as they are
clear of the town and carry them in
little bundles on top of their heads.
The only strangers with whom they
are on friendly terms are the Apaches
of Arizona, and scores of these murder
Gus savages, outlaws from United
States territory, have found safe ref
uge in the Yaqui country.
DR.. w. J. Magee, of the-bureau Of
ethnology at Washington, d. c.. who
has made researches in Sonora and is
familiar with the Yaquis, describes
them as a pastoral people, somewhat
skilled in the arts in rude way. They
are ruled by their own laws, follow
! their own customs, and are deeply
rooted in their ancestral pagan faith.
| They have towns, which are often asy-

again in 1925, and again in 1892, against
Mexico, when, armed with bows, battle
axes and spears, and led by their cele-
brated chieftain, Banderas, they put
up n noble fight, although finally over
come. They made another revolution
airy attempt in 1S4l, and defended their
mountain Businesses with rare valor,
and for years held the Mexican troops
at bay. Order was finally restored by
q compromise. The present conflict
will be still more sanguinary; because
to-day the Indians are well armed. The
bows and battle axes have been sup
planted by winchester repeating rifles
and field guns.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is an au-
thority on everything pertaining to In
dian and border warfare, states that
when few years ago a company began
to build a railroad south from Benson,
Ariz., to Nogales and Hermosillo, the
capital of the state of Sonora, and
still further south to Guaymas, on the
Gulf of Mexico, the Yaquis flocked to
the region along the line of the road
and offered their labor which, of course,
was well paid for. With the money
tLus obtained they purchased rifles of
the latest patterns and vast stores of
ammunition. Many of them continued
to work along the road, and thus kept
up the supply of funds for the purchase
