their discontinue is assured.

stnelr ulScOnlIltufe IS assured.
In the absence of definite news from
Lord Roberts and Kitchener and the
correspondents with them the result of,
the fighting is enveloped in doubt. From
scattering dispatches, both from Brit
ish and Boer sources. it appears that
Lord Roberts plan has worked excel
lently so far as his troops are concerned.
but that Gen. Cronje, who has been re-
enforced from Natal and northern Cape
Colony, will be able To put up a much
stronger resistance than was expected.
When the Beers marched east from
Kimberly toward Bioemfontein Gems.
Kitchener and Kelly-Kenny started TO
head them eff. They succeeded in doing
so by reaching Paardeberg first. Gen.
Cronje then turned toward Koodoos-
rand drift. and it appears that Gen.
.MM;s!rcnald farestaIled him there hii,
| the appearance Of Gen. DeWet, with a
force of burghers. probably on the
Highland brigade'S flank. gave the Bo-
ers a chance. The fighting seems to
have begun at KoodoosFand, which is
just north Of Moddar river and due
south of Boshof. and then to have been
transferred To the south by Kip Kraal
drift. Cen. Cronje seems To have held
| his own with an inferior force up To
Yesterday. u is confidently stated that
| he has not more than 5000 men With
| him from Magersfontein. but he has
been reinforced from Spytfontein and
| also from Colesberg. 1t is doubtful
however. if any reinforcements he could
| get could long make neadway against
| three British divisions of infantry and
one of c3valry. However. he has made
the British pay severely for getting him
| in trap.
| II is considered strange that Lord
Roberts, in sending the number OF
wounded officers. had not-a word to say
on the course of the fighting between
| Monday and yesterday. Lord Roberts
is sure 10 have drawn UP from Cape
lsColony all the available troops for at
tack. while from the outlying districts
| Beers must come to assist the fore,
that is reinforcing Gen. Cronje. 1t /.
| quite probable that the final attempt
was made by the British to capture ths
/ Boer laager yesterday as every houl
! brings the burgheys sent by Joubert
nearer. The speed at which the 10000
| men who left l.adysmith for the Orange
Free State can travel may be the decid-
ling factor in the battle.
AS for Natal. Gen. Whites troop:

Army Horses In Austra1Ia.

According to an Australian writer
there is not a large number of horses
in that country fit for army use. The
principal Australian horse shippers
are unanimously of the opinion that
should the same high standard of
quality as is insisted upon by the re-
mount officials in India be adhered
to, the available supply in the colony
will be found to be very limited in
deed. The Indian requirements are
stated to be most stringent. To pass
the standard only well-bred horses,
with plenty of bone substance, stand
any chance of acceptance. The best
height is between Is hands inches
and Is hands inches. although up to
16 hands will pass muster. The limit
of age is seven years, and it is the
general experience of shippers that the
slightest blemish is a certain bar to
the horse being accepted. The Indian
veterinary inspectors insist upon all
horses submitted to them being clean
limhed. clean In the hook. freh Of curb

Professor Henry, in his book on
Feeds and Feeding" says: Rennie
found the hauling power of a draft
horse weighing 1900 pounds equal to
about 10S pounds at 25 miles an hour,
or $4,000 foot-pounds per minute, for
8 hours per day-a twenty-mile haul.
This is little over two-thirds of
Watt horsepower, at which value
Rennie rates the average draft horse,
and this is taken to be, ordinarily.
five times the power of a man. Be-
tween rs and miles an hour, the
hauling power of the horse is nearly
inversely as the speed.
The mule carries load of 200 to 400
pounds, and it's days work consists,
usually, in the transportation of the
equivalent of 5000 to 5000 pounds per
mile. The ass carries ITS pounds and
upward, and it's days work is the
equivalent of 5000 to 1000 pounds per
mile.
According to Weisbach, horse
should be able to carry 24O pounds on
its back 3.5 feet per second ten hours
a day. Carrying 100 pounds, he should
be able to trot seven feet per second
seven hours day, doing in the day
nearly ten per cent less work than be.

animal is said to be. as a rule, about
one-fifth its weight. Its usual effort

seldom in excess of one-tenth, or
about one-half the maximum. One
hundred pounds is common pull for
the average horse in draft vehicles.
In racing, the requirement of speed
reduces the work performed Garry
ing the rider) to the smallest amount
possi5le.
Low writes: when it is consid-
cred that an ounce of additional load
ing to the same horse may make the
difference of yard or more in half
mile of running, it will be seen how
greatly the weight borne may affect
the ISSUE in the case of horses of equal

Ohio Dairy 1ntersst is.

In the state of Ohio are 100000 mich
cows estimated at an average value of
$31.OO. This means an investment of
S25,0OO,000 in milch cows alone, and
If the farms and equipments where
these cows are kept, and the cheese
and butter factories are taken into
consideration, it will be found that at
least $500,000,000 is invested in the
dairy business in this state. BY the
proper selection of these COWS and by
feeding and handling, the annual re-
turns from these animals can be in
creased by several millions of dollars.
Much unnecessary loss in quality also
occurs in the manufacture Of the milk
into butter, cheese and bottled prod
ucts, which might be saved by more in
telligent methods of operation. A loss
OF one-tenth of per cent of butter fat
in factory receiving 10000 pounds of
milk per day means 4,258 pounds of
butter in a year, and this at the aver
age of 20 cents per pound amounts to
$S51.60, enough to pay butter max
ers wages.-Ohio State University
