THE DAIRY INDUSTRY /.

UFACTTRE

Washington. Oct. CspeciaD.-During the nine
teenth century tho dairy industry in the United
States has probably advanced more than any other
branch Of agriculture. Butter and cheese to-day
constitute of the chief exports of this country
and the great creameries in the North and West
have been remarkably successful for the last quar-
ter OF a century. Dairy cchoos have been estab-
nsbed for the training of young men to become
skiiful operators of the modern butter making
machines, and the industry's development gener-
ally has been watched with the keenest satisfac-
tion by agricultural experts.
Darytng was practised in this country in Colonial
times, butter and cheese being mentioned among
the earliest Of American exports But in those
days It was only a feature Of general farming
while it Is important industry; in fact
entire farms OF many hundred acres are devoted
exclusively to #. This progress has all been made
during the last three-quarters of this century for

London, March a. a. m.-Lord Roberts main army continues waiting at Bloem- fonten. The sentimental interest in the fate of Mafeking has intensified with Col cnel Plumer's forced retirement to Croco- dile Pool, where he was two months ago. Relief from the north Is expected. Lord Methuen is skirmishing with the Boers at Warrenton, 167 miles away. Although seemingly in force sufficient to do pretty much as he likes, he has not advanced these five days. It Is hoped that his mili- tary administration has a pleasant sur prise in preparation for the Britishers by raising the siege with strong column of cavalry and artillery detouring to Mafe- king, while Commandant Snyman is drawn off to engage Colonel Plumer
