Watering the Cow.

No dairyman who makes a study Of
his business is satisfied with watering
his herd once day. If his cattle can
be induced to drink two or three times
a day he is glad of it. All the cattle
may not be equally thirsty at the same
time. Cows require an immense
amount of water, as every farmer boy
has noticed. Experiments have shown
that tie average milch COW needs about
eighty-one pounds of water a day
while in milk-this is nearly ten gal
lons-and over fifty pounds while dry.
OF this the COW in milk takes rather
more than two-thirds as drink and the
rest in her food, while the dry COW
takes rather less than two-thirds as
drink and little more than one-third
in her food.
Eggs from Prize Winners.-Before
you pay high prices for eggs for hatch
ing to a man whose birds took first"
or any other prize at the poultry show,
make sure first that the birds he ex-
hibited were his own, and not bor-
rowed for the occasion, and, second,
that the eggs you get are from the
same stock as he used for breeders last
year. There is so much borrowing of
hens and cocks to make a show, and
carrying them home without their ever
mating with or seeing his breeding
stock, that man stands about as good
a chance to go to some neighbor who
has the breed wanted, and get eggs
from his breeding pens, as he would to
pay a high price for eggs to one who
took the prizes, but whose laying stock
may be below the average.-Maine

Two Seamen of Each Nation Included

partment and then at the British en-
bassy with Sir Julian Pauncefote an(
Eliot, the British high commissioner
Dr. Won Holleben's announcements were
particularly agreeable to the American
aRd British authorities. coming after
the unofficial cables from London and
Berlin indicating that a serious hitch
might occur. The ambassador mad5
known the wish of the German govern
ment that the commission should leave
at once, catching the boat from San
Francisco next week. He gave assur-
ance that Germany would cooperate to
that end by naming her commissioner
although he did not officially announce
that Baron Sternberg was to be the
man.
Attention was next turned to getting
out the joint instructions and hurry
ing the commissioners away. If it be-
comes impossible to catch the boat on
the 18th arrangements may be made for
a special steamer from Honolulu. and
there is even a chance that the United
States may assign a naval vessel to
carry the high commission to Samoa.
This courtesy would undoubtedly be eX-
tended If the warships were not so ac-
lively engaged at the present time.
In an authoritative quarter il was
stated yesterday that reports of a Ger
man protect against Admiral Kautz
course in reference to the treatment of
the cruiser Fake were unwarranted.
All the negotiations, il is said, in the
highest German quarters, are of such
a character as to bring the govern
ments more closely together instead of
separating them. As il has been strong
ly intimated in the Berlin dispatches
that the German government was about
to make a demand for a disavowaI -ot
Admiral Kautz' actions il may be stated
that our government will certainly not
accede to any such request in advance
of full knowledge of all the facts liz
the case and a conviction that the ad-
miral acted wrongly. the presumption
being that our officers have
acted with due propriety until the con-
trary is shown to be the case.
If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa, the
king, with his thirteen
chiefs. dominating the affairs of the ISL
and. involving the suspension of the
functions OF the supreme court and of
the municipal council formally and duly
established by treaty, then ii was his
duty. according to the state depart
ment. to bring the conditions at once to
conformity with the treaty. If this in
volved the dissolution OF the provisional
government there can be no legal COM
plaint, II is said, by any one of the
three treaty powers who have bound
themselves to carry out and maintain
the treaty of Berlin.

sHAF1ER ON THE ARMY BEEF.
Favors the Canned Beef and Opposes Cat
tie on the Hoof.

tie on the Hoof.
Washington. April 12.-General Shas-
| ter was the principal witness yesterday
| before the beef court of inquiry. He
| said he had no discretion in the matter
| of rations. He took what. was sent to
| him by the commissary department. Il
was utterly impracticable to take beef
on the hoof. He regarded il as absurd
| to consider. After the troops were land
ed he ordered all troops forward with
three days rations. The meat ration
was not specified. Each commander
determined whether it should be bacon
| or beef. He heard no complaints of the
canned roast beef between the time OF
landing and the surrender. He heard
no complaints until after his return
from Cuba. Naturally inysuch a climate.
IL was not appetizing- He ate it every
day himself. The troops were furnished
with full rations of meat, hard bread,
coffee and sugar.
The health of the troops was fairly
good up to the time of the surrender.
The sick report July 16 would show but
1000 men sick. but the troops had been
weakened and after the surrender went
down rapidly. He took great interest
in the refrigerated beef and from his
Investigation pronounced il perfectly
satisfactory. Suspicion that il had been
chemically treated was never even sug-
gested at that time. He attributed the
immense amount OF sickness to ex-
posure. the exertiops of an active cam
paign and the climate.
Major Lee cross-examined General
Shafter. In report forwarded by Col.
Roosevelt some complaints were made,
but he did not regard them as impor-
tant, as the emergency had passed.
Major Lee read from Colonel Roose-
velt's report OF the action of July l. say
ing his troops had no food on that day
except what they captured from the
Spaniards. IF they didn't have food il
was their own fault" Observed General
Shafter. They were ordered to pro-
vice themselves with two days ra-
tions."
As to Colonel Roosevelt's statement
that they did not have adequate food
or medical supplies. that was a matter
of opinion. They had their ration pro-
vided by law. If the rations of the
Rough Riders gave out en- route to
Cuba it was the fault Of their officers,
who should have drawn supplies to
keep ten days supply on hand as he
had ordered.
From your experience do you regard
canned roast beef as a suitable meat
ration for such a campaign" asked |
Major Lee.
Il do not know Of any substitute re-
piled Shafter. Canned corned beef is
perhaps better. Possibly il is not so |
good as bacon, but that depends upon |
the individual taste 1 myself think |
there might have been less meat and |
more beans and rice Campaigning in /
