LESSONS OF THE TRANSVAAL.
Warfare of To-Day Bears No ReIa- tiOn to the Theatrical Aspects Called Mancuvers

London, June 24.-An interesting paper, written by Jean De Bloch (the Russian councillor of state and mem- Der of the Russian ministry of finance) on the lessons of the Transvaal war, was read at the United Service insti- tuition to-day. NJ. De Bloch declared that the South African warhad provtN that military service, as practiced to- day. was absurd, and that the sacrifice made on the continent to support con scription was unnecessary. The war showed that the theatrical aspects. called maneuvers, were in no way re- lated to real warfare. One of the most remarkable features was the constant impossibility of determining the enemy's position. This was not at- tributable to British defective recon naissance, but to the new conditions or war. 1t was neither the mistakes made by the British nor the qualities or the Boers, who had shown an en- tire lack of rational strategy and tac- tics, which produced the results seen. but smokeless powder and long-range. qulck-tire rifles, which involved in- visibility to 9 degree unheard of for merly, and to the possibility of pro- vldlng ritiemen with a larger number Of cartridges. The action of the ar- tlllery in South Africa had been pen- orally absolutely contemptible against an lntrenched enemy.

Breeding of Diseased Fowls.

The fate of a sick mongrel is to have
its head cut off, but what becomes of
the diseased high scoring birds? asks
A. X. Boyle in Inland Poultry Journal.
Who would think of killing 95-point
bird just because its head swelled up?
1t would be doctored and fused with
until all visible signs of disease were
gone, then into the choice pen it goes
to contaminate all the rest and pro-
duce offsprings subject to the same
disease and very likely become af-
ficted again itself with the first change
of weather If this is not true, why
do we see so many articles on the
treatment Of swelled head, roup, etc?
About ten years ago saw the effects
of doctoring sick fowls. Roup got a
start in our midst from poultryman
that lived on very low ground. The
neighbors that did not buy eggs or
stock traded eggs" because he had a
new breed. The consequence was half
the chickens were ''roupy." Some treat
ed their birds very sensibly, while 9TH
ers dosed theirs with anything recon-
mended. Some of us used the Ratchet
on all sick fowls, good or bad. That
soon cleared things up for the better,
but each year few cases would crop
out until all of that diseased blood
was bred out. There has been a gen.
eral change of breeds since and roup is
hardly heard of here now. have not
seen case Of roup for several years.
1t takes grit to butcher right and left
among your pets, but always remem-
Der you are saving the lives Of what is
left. Some claim they can cure roup,
but just so long as they try it just so
long will it keep cropping out when
least expected. l would as soon breed
from a glandered horse as a diseased
fowl. -t,.,.

erage score, home-trade scale, Of the
cheeses cured at and below so degrees
in 1899 was almost points higher on
flavor and rs points higher on texture
than the score of the cheeses cured at
So degrees and above. In 1900, when
some cheeses were cured at the high
temperatures of rs degrees and 80 de-
gress, the difference In the scores was
still greater: Flavor 81 points; tex
ture, 81 points. These are more than
10 per cent gains, so far as scoring Is
concerned; but the real advantage of
the cold curing is greater than this;

by improvement In quality that home
market can be built up which will
take all the cheeses the dairies of the
state can supply. Many of these
cheeses cured at low temperatures
were pronounced nearly perfect In
