The Fighting Power Of China.

The serious loss Of life experienced in the
capture Of Ten-Tsin by the allied troops is
reported to rave been a great surprise to
their commanders. The latter seemto have
taken for granted that the Manchus and
Chinese could not or would not fight against
soldiers equipped and disciplined In accord
ance with Western ideas. 1t was in pursu-
ance OF this assumption that Admiral SEY-
MouR. at the head of only 1000 men. under
took the hopeless task Of rescuing the lega-
tons In Pekin. la there any historical
ground for the assumption. outside of the
defeats encountered by the forces of the
Pekin Government In the recent war against
Japan. or the experience of Lord EIGIN2
The domestic history Of China Is replete
With examples not only Of singular daring
but OF remarkable fortitude in war. A re-
bellious province has been known TO main
tain its independence for many a decade
against incessant assaults on the part Of
the collective strength OF the rest ofthe En-
pire. OF the two Manchu invasions OF China,
separated as they were by a great space OF
time, the former succeeded In conquering
only the northern section Of the Middle
Kingdom, the rest of the country Offering a
stubborn and successful resistance un-
der native rulers. More than a genera
tion OF uninterrupted fighting elapsed
after the founders Of the present Manchu
dynasty crossed the Great Wall, before they
were able to take Pekin, and many more
years passed before they acquired ascen-
danoy In the middle and southern provinces.
There Ia no greater mistake than to suppose
that dynastic changes In China have been
have involved prolonged commissions, and
have cost millions of lives. This fact cam
not be reconciled with the theory that the
Chinese are constitutionally a timid and sub
missive people.
Naturally. In n region so vast and
30 populous, some differences are observ-
able among the inhabitants in respect OF
warlike aptitude. just as In India. the BEN

the most part. from the derizens of

Do not leave the herd out in the

this respect.
Take the world over. there are more

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
Some Interextin. Facts and Figure,
Concerning l'Oor Lo of
To-Day.

Excluding the members OF the five
civilized tribes and the Indians in Alas
ka. says correspondent of the Chi
cago Record. there are lS5.947 Indians
in this country. of whom 9O.o5o now
wear citizens dress wholly and 4O.6O5
in part. The tepees are rapidly dis
appearing and being displaced by
comfortable cabins.
The Indians cannot readily sell their
wares unless they are prepared crude
ly OF decorated after the method of
their savage ancestors. That retards
development. Many of them have
artistic ideas and mechanical train
ing, yet to dispose of their handiwork
they initiate the primitive designs of
their forefathers. They are going
back to beaded leggings because curio
hunters will pay more for the rude
and gaudy articles. Instead of manu-.
featuring their own dyes as formerly.
they now use patent dyes.
\ pottery was recently established
at Zuni. in which it was proposed to
instruct the Indians that they might
improve. and arrangements were
made for them to glaze their wares
But they refuse. because the ungluzed
old-fashioned pottery sells better and
porous jugs are preferred because
! they keep TIL, water cooler.

CALVES FOR MARKET.
A Profitable Industry In Localities
Where There Ia Small Demnnd
for MIX OF Cream.

1t is not improbable work 10 raise
calves for market in localities where
milk and cream are not easily sold at
remunerative prices, and if one goes
in for this object he can with little
study find considera BILE to increase his
income. OF course in darying dis
tricts where there is good market
for butter and milk this work might
not prove very profitable, but there
are many farmers so situated that it
is impossible to make much from the
milk and cream. There is very little
expense in feeding the young calves
if kept only until they are seven to
ten months old and then sold. Some
times we have found a good calf that
was worth more to US to keep for
breeding purposes than for selling to
the butcher, and we have thus added
materially to our stock. The average
calf, however raised, should bring
from $50 to S35 each when eight or
nine months old. When the calf is
born. instead of taking it from the
mother it is allowed to run with her
until ready for the butcher. Very
often a likely calf in this way can be
sold to purchasers on the lookout for
fine cattle, and they will bring far
more than if sold to the butcher For
instance, last year we sold one such
animal to a neighbor for $40. The
calf was from good grade of Short
horn, and it had all the indications
of developing into good breeding an
imal. 1t was ten months OF age and
was we'll worth the money it fetched.
In raising these calves there is lit
tie or no expense or outlay. and the
gain in the few months they are kept
represents nearly all profit. There
will be considerable milk and cream
obtained from the COWS even when
the calves are running with them, and
one might easily sell enough dairy
products to pay for the feed of the
mothers if there was any nearby
market. Those living in good dairy
districts might not find this profit
able way Of handling their herd, but
1t goes to show that one need not
be entirely discouraged if the price
of dairy products is way down. Las,
year we had ten calves which we
raised until they were from eight tc
ten months old, and we sold the 10,
for various prices. The total received
was s2GO.55. which on the whole we
considered paid us pretty well. In ad
dition to this we sold about $50 worth
of cream and milk and butter ant
kept large family supplied with al
that was needed of these products
Another year we shall repeat this OPP
GRAFTON if we cannot get decent prices
for the dairy products. which up il
this country is not an easy natter

rho wcirht Of rre.h Milk.

1t is generally estimated that q
quart of milk weighs two pounds. But
this is only approximate. Getting
down to scientific basis we find that
it is safe to figure quart at els
pounds. One so-called authority re-
duces it to Il finer basis than this. and
figures cubic foot Of milk at 64A
pounds. A cubic foot will make 7.4o5
gallons, and, taking this as Il basis,
we have the weight of one gallon as
s.62o4, and carrying out the division
we have the weight OF a quart. 2,l5d
pounds. But milk rich in cream
would weigh less than milk contain
ing little cream, for the reason that
the cream is lighter than the other
elements in the mill1.-Farmers' Re
