MARTINIQUE IN HISTORY.
Bloody Naval Battles Fought OF Is
lands Coast.

From the London Mall.
Martinique and St. Pierre have played
their part in history. II is over 400 years
since Columbus discovered the island. The
French colonized it in 1885. but II has been
by no means an easy possession to hold.
England captured il from France no less
than three times. Sir George Rodney fought
famous fight known as the Battle of
Saints off Martinique in 1852 with the
French Admiral de Grasse. On the fourth
day there was an engagement which led
one London paper to drop into poetry
thus
This fierce engagement did begin
About six in the morning,
And held till seven i'm the evening,
To yield both parties scorning.
The English feet broke through the
French line in three places by means new
in naval tactics. 1T was a very great and
signal victory. 1t broke up the design of
the enemy and ended the war"
Martinique was restored to France in
1873, but little later 1t was again the
scene of conflict between England and
France. One part of il, known as the Dla-
mond Rock, was for long entered in the
navy list as III. MS. Diamond Rock" But
in 1915 the island was finally restored to
France.
One of the most interesting facts about
Martinique is that at Fort de France,
where the first reliable news of the dis
aster came from, the Empress Josephine
was born and lived for many happy years.
The ruins of her early home still exist,
and her association with the town Is mark
ed by fine statue of herself. "a
1t was at st. Pierre that the Spanish Ad.
miral Cervera suddenly reappeared during
the Spanish-American war, after q btys-
FERROUS journey about the Atlantic, during
which he was reported at many widely,
separated places. From st. Pierre he went
to Curacao, and thence to Santiago, and
there was captured.

Growth and Not Fat Required In
Young Cattle.

1t is proper to observe that young
cattle should be made to grow rather
than to fatten, that the gain in weight
should be of muscle and bone rather
than tallow, II they are to be run on
grass alone the following season, and
unless they are to be pushed for the
market. This point Is too often lost
sight of by those who take special
pride in the condition of their stock.
1t is safe to assert, however, that cat
tie may be sent to pasture in the
spring carrying much better flesh from
such feeds as oats, bran, clover or cow
peas in connection with corn, than
can those which have been fed on
timothy, corn fodder. sorghum, millet,
ETC., In connection with corn, for the
well known reason that the oats.
clover, etc. promote growth rather
than fat and give to the animal suit
able frame upon which to build on
grass. These remarks are not to be
construed as favoring keeping stock
thin or being satisfied with slow gains.
but that the gains at this stage of the
animals life be made up as far as Dos
sible OF muscle and bone instead OF fat
as is too often the ease.--Missouri Elk,
pertinent Station Report.

MiIlet as Stock Feed.

AS yet the feeding OF millet has in
II some problems that have not been
fully worked out. Among practical
feeders there are various opinions as
to its real value in the hands of feed
ers. 1t has the proper constituents
chemically to make ii good feed.
But the results of its feeding are r>t
always good. Doubtless the ploblems
to which we have referred arise large
ly from the varying stages at which
millet is cut and the way it Is cured.
The foxtail millets have made trouble,
with a good many feeders that have
used them when they have been I'D
alone. So far the trouble seems 10,
be a mechanical one due to the nu-
merous boards and also to the fibers
of the overripe stalks. These mat
into balls and cause impaction. When
these balls become large enough to
permanently clog the intestines death
results.
But beyond the mechanical injury
there seems to be another. When
hay is taken away from horses and
millet substituted the result is de-,
rangement of the kidneys, which is
frequently followed by lameness and
swelling Of the joints. The question
is does the millet cause an accumu-
lation of uric acid, which in turn
causes the lameness? Some veteri-
narians report that the bones Of af
fected animals are softer than in the
case of well animals and separate
more easily. A horse so affected will
sometimes be unable to pull heavy
load on account Of the weakening
of the muscles at the points of joining
of the bones. Millet should be fed to
horses only with care, and then with
other feeds. With other stock less
injury results. Millet cured properly
is a good feed, especially If it is fed
with other kinds of feed, but care
should be exercised against making
1t a sole ration.

Those Low Testing Testers.

Recently the Farmers Review COM
mented on the report that big cold
storage companies were sending out
low-testing milk testers. A dairy ex.
pert in New York asked the Farmers
Review to confirm its statements A
letter addressed to the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station on the subject
brought the following reply:
To the Farmers Review-Yours OF
the 18th inst, making inquiry In re-
gard to the small hand testers has
been referred to me for reply. we
have used the small testers referred
to in our dairy laboratory in connec.
ton with the school of agriculture and
dairy school and In comparing the
tests made by the small machines with
those made by the larger power ma
chimes we noticed that those made
from the small machines generally
read from / to 2 lower. No official
publication has been made of this OBJ
servation but instructors in the dairy
school have referred to 1t in articles
published. So far as our observation
goes the small machines do not pro-
vide enough power to get full read
ing and am Of the opinion that this
is the reason why the factories or
creameries who are buying the cream
are anxious to have the patrons test
1t with the small hand machines. The
difference in the reading between the
two machines is enough to make a
rye profit in the business.-T. l..

Nation crusade in southwest Okla.
homa. Until recently he has been a
common, every day Indian, but about
a month ago he developed into a tenn.
perance reformer, and his exhortation
to the menand women Of his tribe has
caused great stir. He has Swallowed
bibulous Indians in Lawton, and has
a long list of names Of men who sold
liquor to them, which he has sent to
United States Attorney Horace Speed.
He has already caused the arrest of
C. l.. Estes. who runs saloon at
Cache. and has sufficient evidence
against him to convict. The penalty
for selling liquor to Indians is very
severe.

South Africa as a Dairy Market.

The dairymen of two or three ma.
tons are looking to South Africa as
a possible dairy market. They may
and may not find what they are look
ing f1r. The South Africans are
thinking very hard about becoming
dairymen themselves. The Cape gov
eminent has gone so far as to appoint
dairy expert, who Is bending all his
energies to stir up interest in dairy
ing In some cases cooperative COM
panies have been formed for cheese
making. These have been able to dis
pose Of their products at fancy prices
20 to 25 cents per pound. TINS has
stimulated others to form like COM
panies. Dairying is not a new thing
in South Africa by any means, but it
has not yet become leading agricul-
tural industry. The recent war gave
it backset from which 1t will be
some years in recovering. The great
loss of horses has affected dairyIng, as
it has made 1t difficult to deliver milk
either to creameries or to private Gus
toners. For some years at least South
Africa will be good market in which
to sell butter and cheese. Ii is likely,
however, that the nations that will
reap rich harvests are those lying in
the southern hemisphere, such as Au
stralia and New Zealand.

leuhorns for Meat.

1t has been generally supposed that
Leghorns are of value only for the
eggs they lay and not for the meat.
Yet some markets take Leghorn broil.
ers in large numbers. An Indiana
breeder told the writer that he was
shipping Leghorn broilers to New
York in large numbers. He said he
had experimental with about all the
leading breeds to find one that would
suit the market and make money for
the producer. Finally he settled
down to the Leghorn. The bird is
plump and has large proportion of
meat on its breast Probably the Leg
horn will never be favorite bird for
the common trade in poultry flesh. but
it has better chance with the fancy
trade and with the trade in broiIers.

Profit In Egg Production.

SOME writer makes the statement
that the profit in egg production lies
in the cost of the food given the
fowls. II this were so the profit in
eggs would be very easy to figure out.
Unfortunately for the arithmetic OF 1t
there are almost innumerable factors
entering into the equation. One OF
these Is the selling price of eggs 1t
makes all the difference in the world
to the profits whether the eggs be laid
principally in the early and middle
winter or in the spring In the first
case they are high in price. In the
second case they are low in price. In
the case of winter eggs a large profit
may be the result and in the case OF
summer eggs the balance is likely to
be ON the wrong side of the book. The
cost OF food may be approximately the
same in both cases. Even If 1t were
double In the winter what 1t was in
the summer the profits would still be
on the side of the winter eggs. The
proposition may be put in this way.
A man had flock of hens that pro
duced 100 dozen of eggs which sold at
10 cents dozen. Time, spring. Cost
OF eggs per dozen, five cents. Another
man had flock of hens that produced
In the winter 100 dozen of eggs. They
sold at 80 cents per aozen, but the
food cost twice as much as did the
food for the flock belonging to the
other man. What was the difference
In the profits? II may be taken for
granted that good many men will
answer by saying "The eggs Of the
winter flock sold for twice as much
as did the eggs from the summer
mock, but the feed cost twice as much.
Therefore there was no difference in
the profits" 1t is just that kind of
reasoning that keeps the mortgage on
the farm. Actually figuring out the
problem will show that the profits
from the winter laid eggs were double
those or the spring laid eggs. The
question Of time of year at which eggs
are produced is then the first one to
be considered in the matter Of profits
In other words the profits in eggs
come from reversing the course OF ma.
ture as to the laying of eggs.

TEACHING A SHEPHERD DOG.
How He 10 Trained by the Natives Of
New Mexico.

wv" W kiiS VI
New Mexico.
The natives Of New Mexico seem to
have an original way of training shep-
herd dogs. A pup is taken from its
mother as soon after birth as possible
1.-THE breed of dog Is immateriaD. The
young of sheep or goat is taken
away. and the pup is substituted.
After the first few days the pup is
never fed except Just before the flock
goes to pasture in the morning, and
Just after the sheep are brought in at
night.
AS soon as he can walk he goes out
with the flock and stays with 1t all
day. Whenever he begins to antici-
pate suppe. by trying to drive the
flock in before shutdown he gets pun.
ished.
After he is about year old he takes
q flock out, guards them from other
dogs and coyotes during the day. and
brings them in at the proper time at
night without supervision. All kinds
OF temptations can be tried on any dog
that is encountered in the hills with
his flock, but in spite Of all he will
remain faithful to his duty, driving his
flock to a safe distance before ven
turing to make the acquaintance Of
any other dog.

TRAINING German Soldiers.

Workmanship for men OF the Ger.
man infantry, beginning with prelimi-
nary instruction, comprises range fir
ing and lastly field or combat firing.
BY ingenious methods the advance of
achievements or the thinning of a
line Of infantry or the advance of
column of soldiers is simulated. Bal
loon targets are used to represent
lines of sharpshooters lying in a
trench. Imitation keeps them erect
and when punctured by bullet they
soon collapse. showing the firing line
that another enemy has fallen. The
agility of sharpshooters is represented
by variety Of targets which can be
made to pop up and down out Of
trenches and behind entertainments at
will. Other movable targets are at.
tached to sleds and drawn over the
surface of the ground by steam power
or by horses.
