MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. AT Il

VIENNA, Dec. IA very sensational

flied with England's greatness and dar-
ing to fault. This very daring caused
the troops to be led without tactical pre-
caution, which explained the great loss
of officers and the comparatively small
loss of soldiers.
In conclusion Field Marshal Ratzen-
hoff said
"After the war what will England do
for the reorganization of her army? The
same as she did after the Crimean war,
the Indian mutiny and the Afghan cam
paign-that is to say, nothing. Unim-
portant reforms may be made, but un-
iversal military service will not be or
dered.''
Archduke Leopold Salvador and Baron
Beck, chief of the general staff, were
present at the lecture.

Texas Operators Want More Pay and

AUSTIN, Dec. Information received
here indicates that the situation in tele.
phone circles in Texas is nearing a
crisis. Within the next week or SC
strenuous efforts will be made to force
the abandonment by operators of all 10.

hopes of effectually blocking the work
of the company, SO that they will be
forced to concede to the demand of one

The fight promises to be long, bitter
and ruinous to all interests, as the com.

CoNsTANTINOPLE, Dec. l. - The ru-
mors that a rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between Turkey and the United
States is imminent are unfounded. The
relations between the porte and the
United States legation are excellent. In
fact, United States Charge d. Affaires
Lloyd O. Griscom has been received in
audience six times this year. Only a
fortnight ago he was invited to must
cal entertainment at the Yildiz palace.
This proves he is persona grata at the
palace.
The visit of the United States battle
ship Kentucky to Smyrna does not infiu-
ence the nature of these relations, though
it does induce the porte to more strictly
concern itself with the United States
claims for indemnity, which were al
ready on the point of solution.
DIR. Thomas H. Norton is going Mon
day to take possession of his post at
Harpoot.
The United States legation will con-
tlnue to press its demand for an exequa-
tur, but prompt solution OF this ques-
ton is not likely.
The order to the Cramps of Philadel-
phia for a cruiser will be small the price
being less than 500, 900 Turkish pounds.

Principles and Practice of stock Feeding.
The dairyman who owns summer
dairy, whose cows run dry all winter
long and are racks of skin and bone in
the spring, does not worry much about
their winters feed. But the man who is
alive to his duty as farmer cannot dis
miss matters so lightly. lie is studying
upon or has worked out his scheme of
winter feeding. He has grown and har-
vested his crops and is considering what
to buy at the mill for grain feed. Yet
he, though on higher plane than his
shiftless neighbor, often makes mistakes,
His homegrown crops, and in particular
his purcha sed feeds, are often i'll adapted
to milk making. His success IS likely to
depend largely upon his knowledge OF
the fundamental principles OF stock feed
ing. Many a dairyman fails to do as
well as he might more from lack of
knowing his business than from lack of
money. If a man knows why he does a
thing-the reason, the explanation, tie
underlying law on which the action is
based-he Is more likely, other things
being equal to achieve success than he
who works at haphazard without this
knowledge. If, for instarce moie dairy
men knew how unwise and uneconomical
it Is to buy corn meal for cows; if they
understood the special uses of the con-
centrated feeding stuflS; if they realized
better the possibilities of the silo-their
pocketbooks would fatten. If, however,
in addition, they knew why corn meal is
les fitted to make milk than Is gluten,
and why the corn in the silo is better
than when stocked, not only would poe
textbooks grow stouter but they should
receive a goodly dividend of satisfaction.
Vermont farmers have now good chance
to learn the better methods of stock and
dairy feeding and to study the laws on
which their practice rests, if they will
but avail themselves of the opportunity.
