FORMAL DEMAND ON CHINA.
Secretary Hay Talks Plainly To
Chinese Minister.
MUST PERMIT MESSAGES.

Chicago. July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Secretary Hay has demanded of the
Chinese government that the state de-
partment be put in communication
with Minister Conger at Pekin without
delay.
This demand was made upon Mr..
WI, the Chinese minister in Washing
ton. who has, no doubt, laid the mat
ter before his government in
roundabout way through Sheng, the
director of the Chinese telegraph sys-
TEN.
Secretary Hay has grown impatient
at the delay in hearing from an au-
thentic source the truth about the
conditions in Pekin, especially in re-
gard to Minister Conger.
Apparently the imperial government
at Pekin, the secretary declared, when
the Chinese minister appeared at the
department of state with a copy of the
imperial decree, was in communication
with the outside world, and there was
no reason why Washington should not
be permitted to communicate to its
representative at the Chinese capital.
Secretary Hay pointed out that
while some credence should be put in
the advices from Pekin, all of which
came from Chinese sources, the best
way to prove their accuracy and au-
thenticity was to permit Mr.. Conger
to send message to his government.
It is believed the position taken by
Secretary Hay will produce immediate
results.

Guam for a Penal Colony.

Manila, July 17.-Guam is advocated
as a possible and advantageous resi-
dence for captured officers and civil
officials. Archbishop Chappele is a
supporter of the idea. He believes the
policy of leniency is wasted upon
Asiatics who fail to comprehend the
motives for it. To the American OIL
GERS with whom he has talked the
archbishop has said that the heads of
the leaders should be cut off. There
is little doubt that the paroled officers
in Manila are in communication with
their brethren in the field. Those who
are released from prison, many OF
them at least, take up arms again.
General Young shipped to Manila 200
or 500 of his prisoners whom he con-
sidered the most dangerous characters.
General Otis reloaded them on the
steamer and sent them back north
where they were disembarked TO fol-
low their own wills. Most of them
soon drifted back into the insurgent
camps.

REVENUE OF CITIES ATTACKED.

Claim Made That an Fines Must Go to

Topeka, July IA question has
been raised in the Topeka Amity Club
liquor case in the Kansas court of APP
peals which is of vital Importance to
every city in the United States which
has adopted the monthly fine system
of handling the joints.
In the Amity Club case it is contend
ed by the defense that all ordinances
providing that money derived from
fines shall be turned into the general
revenue funds of the cities are uncon-
stitutionaL It is argued that such or
and in line with its provisions an:
penal laws and the constitution pro-
vides: THAT the proceeds of fines for
any breach Of the penal laws shall be
exclusively applied to the support of
the common schools" This is section
of article vi. of the constitution.
Under it, the attorneys for the de-
Tense say, all fines must be turned into
the school fund instead OF the revenue
fund, and that any ordinance which
directs the disposition of the money
otherwise is unconstitutional and void.
Attorney General GODDARD says it
never has been the practice to turn
fines collected in police courts over to
the common school fund, and he. doubts
if the courts will hold that the money
ShOr11d orO fhere IF has aIvauS heep
turned into the general fund to help
pay the expenses of the city govern
ment. Only fines collected in state
courts have been turned into the school
fund, and he believes that the courts
will hold that the constitutional pro-
vision only applies to state courts and
not to police courts in cities.

Prediction. On kansas Crops.

Kansas City, July 16.-President w.
T. Kemper, of the Kansas City board
of trade, predicts that, with the most
favorable weather conditions from
now on the state of Kansas will not
raise more than half a crop of corn,
and says that unless rain falls at once
in Central, Northern and Western
Kansas the failure of corn crop will
be calamity in many sections. Some
sections of Southern Kansas have had
good rainfalls, and with favorable
weather the next few weeks will have
fair corn crops. Encouraging reports
have been received from Chanute,
Independence, Cofeyville and other
towns in that section of the state.
The corn is very clean all over the
state and would have been in excellent
condition had there been sufficient
rainfall. Mr.. Kemper predicts that no
amount of rain could make the average
yield more than two-ffths of crop in
the Central, Northern and Western
parts of the state.

Again an om,nous ASPECT.

London, July lathe Chinese sftua-
ton again bears a most ominous
aspect. Eighteen days ago Sir Robert
Hart dispatched his last message, de-
claring that the situation was desper
ate, and since then no word has come
from the Europeans in Pekin. Ac-
cording to Shanghai correspondent,
Ii Hung Chang has received an i'm
peria1 decree ordering his immediate
departure for Pekin, presumably to
break the news of the Pekin tragedy
to the European powers and, in his
usual role of negotiator with Europe in
difficult matters, to endeavor to act as
mediator and avert the vengeance of
the powers. To add to the grimness
Of this suggestion, all advices from
Tien Tsin tend to confirm the reports
of the perilous conditions of the allied
forces and belle the optimistic Chinese
rumors. Unless reinforcements speed
iIy reach Tien Tsin another disaster
may be expected.

Chicks on Frse Range.

We notice that one poultry writer
is advocating giving the old hen full
liberty to drag her chicks anywhere
He says that if this be done the chicks
will be harder, more fully developed
and in every way better birds when
mature than those reared to the wean-
ing age with the hen confined to =
coop and a few square rods of ground.
But we would suggest that the trouble
comes in the fact that there are like
ly to be very few birds to mature. By
the time the old hen has dragged the
lives out Of some of them, and cats
and rats have had their pick, to say
nothing of the bout with the gapS
worm, the number VA be few. Nor
are we convinced that il is healthfA
for a chick to be over exercised or that
it is rendered hardy by being soaked
with the dew or chilled by cold winds
When a hen drags her chicks to re-
mote corner of the farm the mink or
cat finds it a good chance to gather IN
one Of the stragglers now and then.

AMERICAN FLOUR IN JAPAN.
Also American Built Mills Which
Grind American Wheat.
THE DEMAND is INCREASING.

Washington, July 16.-Vice Consul
General Mclean has made a report
from Yokohama on the subject of the
importation of American -four into
Japan. He says that the use of flour
is not confined to the large cities of
Japan, but is becoming common
throughout that country. He speaks
of three or four American built flour
mills, the largest having a capacity of
$50 barrels day, that are now helping
to supply Japan with -four There are
many small native mills of hand and
water power throughout the country,
but their product is of coarse char
acter and they do not compete to any
extent with the imported stocks
American wheat also is being import
ed in Japan and the considerable
amount of flour made from it is being
sold there. The demand for flour
Throughout the Orient is rapidly in

Making q Natural Starter.

The method of making this natural
starter is simple. There may be vari-
GUS plans, but one which is satisfac-
tory enough is as follows: A perfectly
healthy cow from a clearly, well kept
dairy is selected. After the under parts
Of the body are carefully brushed, and
the udder moistened with a damp
cloth, the first few jets OF milk from
the teats are rejected, and the rest is
drawn into a sterilized vessel This is
then covered at once and taken to the
dairy, heated to a proper temperature
and passed through a separator. The
skim milk thus obtained is again col
lected in a sterilized vessel, carefully
covered, and set aside to sour After
1t has become properly soured it serves
as a starter for the cream ripening
process. OF course there are many
other methods of obtaining a natural
starter, for a natural starter is moth
ing more than a lot of skim milk or
whole milk obtained under specially
clearly conditions from an exception
ally good dairy and allowed to sour
naturally.
OF course it is impossible for the
dairyman to be sure that such
natural starter contains the species OF
bacteria that is wanted for ripening.
Sometimes it may contain proper
species and at other times an unfavor-
able species. Logically then the use
OF a natural starter is very unsatis-
factory. But our dairymen are not so
much interested in the logic OF the
method as they are in practical re-
suits, and care not whether the process
they use is theoretically the best, pro-
vided it gives them a good quality of
butter. There can be no question that
the use OF natural starters thus made
has been very decided advantage to
the butter maker as it has been
adopted in the last ten years

Important Tax Decision.

Abilene, Kan, July 11.-An impor-
tant decision was handed down by the
supreme court Saturday which affects
many counties of the state. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Railway Com
pany refused to accept the action of
the board of commissioners of Geary
county, which raised the valuation put
on the roads property by the state
board of assessors. The county's val
uation was raised in 1896 10 per cent
by the state board of equalization on
all property other than railroad prop
erty. The county commissioners re-
fused to accept the valuation fixed by
the state in computing local taxes and
when the road rendered a smaller
amount than levied refused to accept
it, but sued for the balance. Judge
Moore, of the district court, sustained
the county, but was reversed by the
court of appeals. The supreme court
has sustained Judge Moore, fixing a
precedent on which the same question
will be decided in several counties

Health aud Condition of Horses.


A recent government report treats
of the health and condition of horses
for the year ending March 81. It sum-
marizes as follows:
Losses.-Of the 10 states each esti-
mated to contain SOC, 900 horses or up
ward, all except Missouri report losses
from disease somewhat less than those
of the preceding year. The year 1898
SO, however, was characterized by q
rate Of mortality slightly higher than
that Of any previous year for which
figures are available, and accordingly
a comparison OF the year now under
discussion with the ten-year average
is less satisfactory. Ohio. Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas
report rate of mortality below their
respective ten-year averages; in the
case of Pennsylvania and Missouri the
percentages of loss agree exactly with
the ten-year averages, while in New
York and Illinois they are slightly
above such averages.
Condition.-The condition OF health
fulness and flesh on April L was very
high, being only 8 per cent below the
normal, as compared with Sc per cent
below the normal on April 1 of the
preceding year.

Destroying Our Market Abroad.


The secretary of agriculture of Mis-
souri,. in his last report, says:
Adulterated Cheese.-Oneof the worst
features of this business is that imi-
tation butter compounds and adulter-
ated cheese are destroying the market
for United States dairy products
abroad. To illustrate, in 1880, the
United States sold in Great Britain one
hundred and twenty-eight million
pounds of cheese. while Canada only
sold forty million pounds or less than
one-third what the United States did.
In 1898 this condition of the trade was
reversed. the United States selling to
Great Britain only forty-six million
pounds, while Canada sold one hun
dred and fifty million pounds, OF more
than three times the amount sold by
the United States, a condition that
may be attributed almost solely to the
TACT that in this country the laws per
mitted manufacturers to brand skim
milk and filled cheese as full cream ar
ticles, and as such it was exported and
sold.
Adulterated Butter-The same in
crease in the sales of Canadian butter
and decrease in the sales Of butter from
the United States may be noted since
butterine has been manufactured and
placed upon the market in imitation
OF and sold as creamery butter In
dicating this decrease in 1898, New
York exported to Great Britain only
sixty-hve thousand packages, while
Montreal exported two hundred and
twenty-seven thousand packages, and
in 1899, with Secretary Wilson, of the
United States department Of agrieal-
ture, making every possible effort to
extend the sale of dairy products in
Europe, New York exported one hun
dred and three thousand packages
while Montreal exported four hundred
and twenty-five thousand packages, OIL
more than four times as much as this
great country with its largely extended
area, its abundance of all kinds o.
stock, food and grasses and its supe
rfor climatic conditions. The pure
| food products of this country are equa
| in character to those of Canada. Th'
demand should be as good and thu
supply far in excess. The unfavorabl'
| condition Of our butter trade with Eu
rope may be attributed to the fact tina
we have offered for sale in that coun
try fraudulent Imitation articles, tina
we have lost the confidence of con
snmers and brought into question tn
| purity of our product

81 lbs.

In conclusion, then, 1t may be said
that rations in which from 40 to so
per cent Of the protein was supplied by
animal food gave more economical re-
suits than rations drawing most OF
their protein from vegetable sources.
The chief advantage was in the produc-
ton of rapid growth. although the cost
Of production is also in its favor.
While inferior palatibility may have
had something to do with the marked
results, especially with the ducks, the
whole bearing OF these experiments
and others not yet reported seems to In
dictate that the superiority of the one
ration is due to the presence in 1t Of
animal food.
