While the use Of the best cows Is n
very important matter, yet the man
agement of the farm and the cattle
have something to do with the produc-
ton of milk. There are cows that will
give more milk on some farms than
on others. due to better varieties OF
grass, more grain food and more com

er may have good cows from which
no profit Is derived because of poor
management. During long periods of

and 1t, therefore, becomes more diff
cult for the animals to supply them
selves. This deficiency the farmer
should observe and supply.

RUSSIA DOES NOT
WANT MANCHURIA

New York. March GA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Count Cassani, the Russian ambassa-
dor, cannot understand the reports that
Russia has Interior designs in Man
churia. In an interview he said:
"There ought to be no doubt concern
ing the position Of Russia in Chinese
affairs. Her attitude Is the same to-
day as 1t was on August 18th last,
when she declared that as soon as
lasting order shall have been establish
ed in Manchuria. and Indispensable
measures taken for the protection of
railway construction which, according
to formal agreement, China has assur-
ed, Russia will not fail to recall her
troops from those territories Of the
neighborlng empire, provided that the
action of the other powers does not
place any obstacle in the way of such
a measure
"Russia's policy has shown that she
does not contemplate SELLING Manchur-
la. Had she desired its acquisition, a
pretext could have been found in the
invasion of her territory by the Chi
nese. The best proof that she has no
Interior designs Is shown both by her
refusal to take advantage of this pre-
text. and her cordial cooperation with
the United States and other nations to
restore peace and order throughout the
empire"

At street corners at various public
places placards have been posted
which read thus:
ITO the people Of the United States:
Do not make any promises that you
are not sure to keep and never go back
on the word you have given" (Signed)
GEORGE WASHINGTON"
This is recommended to the consider
alton Of "all worthy compatriots Of the

Would Settle tho strike.

Denver, Colo, March 11.-Charles
Duncan, representing the United Mine
Workers Of America, has issued an ad-
dress ITO the People of Denver and
Colorado" in which he claims that IL
the Northern Coal Company had con-
suited with the United Mine Workers
an agreement could in all probability
have been easily reached by which
that organization would have been able
to guarantee an immunity from strikes
for specified term.
The address says, in conclusion: "In
the case Of the Northern Coal and Coke
Company, we have offered to enter into
an agreement with them which would
not add cent per ton to the cost of
production IL they will agree to treat
with us MS organized men, granting to
us the same rights which they them
selves assume: namely, to organize for
mutual benefit A copy of said agree
ment is now in their possession. All
we ask is an opportunity to prove to
the Northern Coal and Coke Company
what we have proven to the great coal
interests Of the middle West and east
ern states, that the conservative and
intelligent methods of our organization
have reduced the liability of strikes to
a minimum. We now ask the public
to judge whether or not our request is
reasonable and fair, and whether it Is
the miners or the company that is re-
fusing to be just in the attempt to set
tie the strike in the northern coal

RADICALS in THE CUBAN
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Havana, March 11.-Although the
political demonstrations have ended,
the radical element in the Cuban con-
stitutional convention has not given
up hope that the United States will re-
cede from the position regarding the
Plat amendment. The radical press is
doing everything in its power to keep
this view before the public. 1t attrib-
utes the action of the United States
Congress to the influence of the trusts,
declaring that the American people
ARE in favor Of giving Cuba absolute
independence and of rebuking the ac-
ton of the administration"
Articles from American papers which
seem to sustain the attitude of the con-
vention are given wide publicity.
Senior Gualberto Gomez says in In
