POSITION OF A. o. H.
The Order VIII DO All 1t Can for the
Beers.

Washington, January 1.-THE National
officers of the Ancient Order OF Hibern-
ians met in this city today and later is
sued the following statement to the pub
lie:
The National officers met at Washington
to discuss a demand on the part OF large
majority OF the representatives OF our
10000 members that the order render
some assistance to the Beers in the Trans
vaal. 1t was agreed to render any assis-
lance compatible with our loyalty az
American citizens and which would not
interfere with the neutrality laws of the
United States. We are impressed with
the splendid precedent shown by the re-
public in going to war with Spain to free
Cuba from the oppression of that country.
We believe that Americans sympathize
with the Beers and that we are acting III
accord with the principles which urged
the United States to carry the flag in IL
struggle for the Liberation OF the gallant
Cubans. Our people would flock to the
armies of America il the government
marched to the assistance OF South
Africans. 1t Is unnecessary for the
! Hibernians to proclaim their loyalty to
the United States, but it becomes them to
state that no action OF theirs will be
contrary to the law. Knowing the
character of the British government, its
| cruelty and its ambition, we are desireus
to assist the citizens of a sister republic
in their struggle to defeat English ag-
gression. What kind of aid win be given
we can not state at the present tihe. but
! certainly II Will be Of a, practical nature
and acceptable to the Boer government.
Were this Nation the antagonist of Eng
land we could from our ranks, send fifteen
to twenty regiments Of the best hghting
material the world ever saw. In fact
in any just cause in which the United
States may see mt to draw the sword the
society would respond as 1T did in the
former wars The Irish regiments of
Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts and New
York were largely recruited from our
ranks and In some Of the regiments OF
United States regulars recently sent TO the
front, are divisions OF the A. o. H.. duly
affiliated with the parent order In this
, country.
The order at large is hopeful that the
government win yet rise to the wishes
and hopes of the Irish Americans and ex-
tend to the brave Beers the sympathy

COLOR OF THE SKIN.
II Really Indicates Nothing Although
Some Buyers of Cows Pay
Attention to 1t.

The color of a cows skin is thing
that counts for much in the estima-
tion of many purchasers of dairy
cows. Especially in the case of ths
Jersey is it believed that yellow
skin indicates much yellow in the
milk in the way of cream. But when
we get down to reality and away
from fancy we are compelled to ac-
knowledge that the yellowness of skin
indicates nothing, and that color OF
the skin does not denote high breed
ing. Some of the best Jerseys have
skin that is nsarer white than yell
low. There may indeed be connec-
ton between the color of the skin and
the color of the milk, but there is
none between the color of the skin
and the amount of butter fat in the
milk. There is, however, value in
yellow skin as well as in yellow
butter, because people have n fancy
for the yellow color in both, and ara
willing to pay more for n COW that
has u yellow skin than for cow
with a white skin. For this reason it
is best to breed in the color where
it can be done without sacrificing
something else.--Farmers' Review

MILKING BY MACHINERY.
A Problem Tint Mny Well Engage th&
Thought and Ingenuity OF
Dairy Engineers.

One of the reasons stated in the re-
ports from creameries as to the reason
of the decrease of the production Of
milk was the fact that farm help that
should and could milk was so hard to
get; that farmers were reducing their
dairies, getting along with as little help
as possible, with only their own imme-
date family, and therefore the num-
ber of cows that were being milked is
gradually being lessened.
Within the past ten years there have
been devised and talked of through the
dairy press milking machines" That
any of these have been practical and
come into general use is not fact, hut
that demand exists for milking ma.
chine that will do the work properly,
right and at a reasonable cost, is alsa
q fact that is believed by a great many
interested in the dairy industry. There
is usually action among practical me
chanics, that when the world needs
an Improvement in machinery, some
inventor finds it out. Finds the way
to do it.
So with this great need of a milk.
ing machine to keep the dairy industry
in line, to increase the amount of milk,
that will be placed upon the market
whether in the shape of raw product
or finished, we have faith that soma
inventor will out of the many plan,
that have been devised, perfect milk
Ing machine and will do the work suf-
ficiently well to bring it into general
use.
Our dairy engineers may well take up
this problem and give it their thought
and attention, SO that we may expect in
the future something in this line that
will be up to the needed requirements
