A QUESTION or QUALITY.
Does 1t Pay 60 Raise Dairy Cows 90
&aIlf

S@lIt
The question as to whether 1t pays to
raise dairy cows to sell Is often raised
and discussed. says L. ". Lightly in
National Stockman, bet much depends
on the stock a man raises and the sale
he has for Ids byproducts. Were / to
sell my skimmilk l could get only s
cents per 100 pounds. / can make con-
siderable lowland hay that is a little
rough and coarse and has practically
nogmarket value. MS 1t Is not salable,
but young stock thrives on II.
Looking oyer my accounts. / find the
cos about as follows the first year:

When about a year old. the heifer Is
served, and for the next nine months it
costs just about half as much as 1t
costs me to feed a COW one year, or SIS.
Thus 1t costs me SOS to produce a
heIfcr with a calf at Its side. i doubt
II they can be raised much cheaper in
this part of the country.

very little or no profit. indeed. but il
We have the right class OF stock the

them into good dairy cows. and when

us no profit. but rather loss. but dairy
COWS in the true sense OF the term are
always ready sale at good prices. HaY.
ing done this kind of work for some
years, my cows have won for them
selves a reputation. and very frequent
ly l have customers who keep but one
or two cows for family use and are

the. customer wishes II I make a test
right before his eyes. The very best l
always keep for my own S and to
breed from.
This makes me a profitable market
FOR some u~nmarketable hay and gives
me q profitable outlet for my skim
milk. Under certain conditions 1t is
more profitable TO buy than to raise,
but that makes a market for those who
are favorably situated to raise them.
The conclusion is that 1t pays to raise
good stock under certain conditions.
Poor scrub stock never pays.

CANADIAN YACHT WINS AGAIN.
Red Coat OutsaiIs the American Boat
 Minnesota.

Montreal, Aug 6. The Canadian yacht Red Coat won from the American Minnesota to-day in the international series for the SeaWanhaka cup. The start was commenced with almost a calm at 8 D. m, but the American chal- lenger got over the line first. Red Coat, however, soon forged ahead and although both tried the WindWard posi- ton the Red Coat finally secured 1t and held it across the lake.
 The Red Coat made the two miles pre- vious to the eight mile buoy in one hour and thirty seconds and did the leg from the eight miles buoy to the tenth in 13:40, The clouds showed that there was q breeze springing up from the north and of this the skipper of the Red Coat took due advantage and the race was concluded at 6:48:03, within the four hours time limit by eleven minutes and twenty-two seconds. The Minne- sota finished two minutes and fifty eight second later.

STATE DEPARTMENT FIRM.
Will Not Consent to the Removal of
 EnvOys.

Washington, Aug. 6--The position of the United States automatically re- mains unchanged. This government will not consent to the removal of the ministers and foreigners from Pekin until there is free communication by the powers with their ministers. Nor will this government consent to commit nication in plan language alone, but will insist that cipher messages must pass freely between Minister Conger and our state department. It is emphatl- cally stated that unless such messages are exchanged the United States cannot know beyond question that the mes sages were not garbled and both the United States government and the min- isters misled.
 There seems to be no doubt about the safety of the ministers at Pekin for the present and tha tthey will remain where they will be able to protect themselves, and will not be induced to accept offers of the Chinese government to escort them to Tien Tsin until they have had communication with their governments. Confidence is expressed, however, that the Chinese government will soon see the necessity of accepting the terms laid down in Secretary Hays note to Consul Goodnow.

KIISER ON GERM1NY'S FUTURE
Arm of the Emperor Reaches the
 Worlds Remotest Parts.

q
 Bielfield, Prussia, Aug. 6.-At the statue of the great elector to-day Elm peror William delivered a notable speech, dwelling upon the dark days of the thirty years war and the i'm perishable service" rendered by Fred erick William in building up the coun- try in the hope of establishing q great northern empire, which one day should draw together the German Fatherland.
 This wonderful result" said the en- peror "has finally been fulfilled, and chiefly because every Hohenzollern prince has been animated by the con- sciousness that he was only an earthly governor and had to render an account to a higher king.
 "To me it is perhaps granted to fulfill q part of the great electors dream What he could only point to we are now able to take up on larger scale, be- cause we are united in the Fatherland and marching forth in an army con- sisting of the sons of every hamlet in Germany to support the black, white and red flag, which shows that the arm of the kaiser reaches to the remotest parts of the world. Without the great elector this would have been impossi- ble. If every one takes the same view of the task of the elector, then I am convinced that great times are still in store for our great German Father land"

THIRD-RAIL CARS TAKE FIRE.

Passengers Bruised i'm Escaping Now
 Haven Mans Shoulder Dislocated.
 New Britain, Aug. 6.-Two accidents occurred on the third rail electric rail- way to-day. At 1:3O o'clock this after- noon a third-rail car crowded with pas-s sengers from Plainville entered the de- pot here with the lower woodwork on fire and when it was brought to a stop the occupants rushed to escape and sev- eral were bruised. The fire was hottest at the forward end of the car, and the motorman, who stuck to his post until the blazing car was brought to a stand- still, afterwards exhibited pair of bad- ly scorched shoes.
 The second accident, which was of 2 very similar nature occurred at Clay- ton on the car leaving Hartford at 2:80 o'clock. The lower portion of the car caught fire from the motors, and Sev- eral passengers jumped while it was running al quite rapid rate of speed All of these escaped serious injury with the exception of John K. Averill of 168 Columbus avenue, New Haven, q sales man. who fell heavily and suffered 2 dislocation of the shoulder and a gen. eral shaking up. The motorman stop ped the car, but before the frightened occupants could chamber out several women had fainted.

 This is the only message received in London this morning bearing out the reports of Admiral Ren1ey and Com- mander Taussig regarding an engage ment at Pei Tsang. The fact that the advance did not begin until Saturday is taken to strengthen the accounts of battle Sunday, especially when it is said to have occurred so near Pekin as Pei Tsang.
 A Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail says that the Americans there are urging the appointment of General Macarthur as comnander-in- chief of the allied forces.
 Tt Is learned now that the members of the Tsung-li- Yamen who were put to death for their alleged pro-foreign pro- clivities, were not beheaded but were cut in twain, this being the severest penalty under the Manchu code.

FINE NAPTHA LAUNCH BURNED.
The Gladys Owned by c. l.. Alvord of
 New York-Damage 1000.

Stonington, Aug. 6.-The naphtha launch Gladys, fifty-five feet long, own- ed by c. l.. Alvord of New York, was destroyed by fire in the harbor here about o'clock this evening. There was no one on board at the time the fire started, and the cause is not known. The loss is about $11000; insured. MT. Alvord with his family came here on the yachts several days ago, but later went to Saratoga, N. Y, leaving the boat in care of Captain Richard Peter son and Engineer Samuel Harberg.
 MT. Alvord gave the captain permis- sion to use the yacht during the ab- sence of the family, and it was his in- tention to run over to New York to- night, accompanied by his wife and his sister-in-law. The party put out to the launch just before o'clock in small boat, and when they clambered aboard q small blaze was detected near the tank. Captain Peterson assisted by the engineer worked hard for few mo- ments in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but the fire spread so rapidly that they were forced to take to their boat and go ashore, fearing that the gasoline tank would explode. In less than quarter of an hour the flames covered every part of the launch, and soon her moorings were burned away and she f1oated in toward the shore. The captain and engineer then put out in boat and succeeded in sinking her, but the flames had eaten down almost to the water edge, and nearly every thing of value had been destroyed The captain tonight said he did not think the hull would be worth raising.

NEW CUBAN MARRTAGE LAW.
The Ecclesiastical Ccrem ony to be Rec-
 Ognized ns Legal.

Havana. Aug. 6.-The new ecclesias- tical marriage law, revoking the decree issued in May of last year by General Brooke, will go into effect next Mon- day. The Brooke edict prohibited ec- clesiastical marriages, recognizing only the civil ceremony. After much con- sideration and taking into account the best opinion of ecclesiastical and politi- cal functionaries here, Governor Gen. eral Wood directs that the ecclesiastical ceremony be recognized as on a basis of legality like that upon which it rests in the United States. From Monday next, therefore parties wishing to marry may go through the ecclesiasti- cal or civil ceremony or both at their option This decision restores to the church the privileges it enjoyed pre- vious to the American occupation.
