a few more general rules may be add
ed to these. Always feed at regular
hours. To stand watching and wait
ing for food that should have been
ready before is conducive only to worry
and that does not make milk or put on
fat. Feed no more than can be eaten,
and if any is left. clean the troughs or
managers as soon as they seem to have
had enough In the short days of win
ter two good feeds day have been

before daylight or after dark, and do

regular hours, we do not mean by the

ness for sleep or rest They will be the

Having failed, after two wears, st,i

Having failed, after two years strife,
in subduing the insurrection in Batan-
gas province, which lies just south of
Manila, and having satisfied himself
that lenient treatment Of the insurgents
is productive of no good results, Gene
raj j. Franklin Bell, the military COM
mander in that province, has determined
on the enforcement of the war in the
most vigorous and determined fashion,
involving Recommendation In q modified
form, the application of martial law in
all directions and the unsparing pursuit
and punishment of the natives who act
as spies and eo-cslled traitors to the
United States.
All this appears from long report to
the war department just published. It
is recommendation order and provides
zone around the gsrrisons into which
friendly Inhabitants are to be required
to come under penalty of conHscation
and destruction of their property. The
military officers are to fix the price of
the necessities Of life.
But little difference is there between
this order of Bells and that of General
Weyler, whose operations in Cuba were
largely responsible for the Spanish
American war.
General Bell justlfies his act of herd
ing the natives like sheep with the plea
that it is necessary to bring about con-
'ition of pacification. General WeyIer
'atd the same thing We nicknamed
veyler "the butcher" We were up in

Care of Cattle.

The rules for taking care of the
COWS are SO few and simple that we
wonder why we should repeat them
each year, but each year we see so
many who do not practice them, that
we cannot refrain, hoping that we may
reform some of them. One of the first re.
quisites is warm barn, not only for the
comfort of the COWS, but for the profit of
the owners. When We think of some of
the barns we knew when hoy, where
the snow blew in through the cracks
behind the animals, and their tails
were. perhaps, frozen down into the
manure, we do not wonder that farmers
thought they were "tail sick" in the
spring, or had a "wolf" in the tail.
Luckily there are not man such barns
now, for the farmers have learned that
1t took good corn meal to keep up the
heat of the system, and that was more
expensive than shingle, and as the cold
grew inside the barn the milk yield de-
creased. If those barns remain the
cracks have been covered, and perhaps
our modern barns now err in the other
extreme, of being too tightly closed as
to lack sufficient ventilation, a fault
that can be remedied by the use of ven.
tilation tubes from near the floor be.
hind the animals to some point where
they can carry out the foul cir above
the hay.
Another point is comfortable bed,
to protect them from cold, the hard and
often cold floors.
OF course good food and enough of it
Is necessary, but that is not all. The
food should be varied in such proper
tions as to make what is called bal
anced ration. Enough grain so mixed
with the rough fodder as to keep the
proportion of PROTEIN to carbohydrates
at about one to five, but SO much de-
pends upon the breed, and more upon
the animal and its condition, that there
can be no exact rule given as to the
best mixtures or the exact amount.
Any farmer can get from the expert
ment station bulletins giving tables of
the value of feeding stuffs, and figure out
rstions for his animals to suit himself,
watching the results and varying them
as he finds It necessary.
After food naturally comes water'
This should always be pure and clean,
and with the improved tank heaters it
costs but little to keep the water warm,
and the stockman who does not do this
is behind the times and is not handling

Ii Hung Chang. .souven,r.,

When Ii Hung Chang was in Paris,
he went to visit the Credit Lyonnais
and showed lively interest in its halls,
its stairs, its safes and the room where
the bonds of the last city of Paris loan
are kept. He was first shown bonds
of 500 francs and 1000 francs and then
of 5000 francs. Taking them in his
hands, he scrutinized them. exclaiming
frequently. '.joli, joli!" Then he finally
thrust them in his pocket. saying,
Souvenir de Paris" The governor of
the Credit Lyonnais went to the min

bonds and asked what he was to do.

ask Ii to give them up, and the foreign

CHRISTM AS

Tn reply to a correspondent who asked
if it is true that Christmas had been
celebrated long before the advent of
Christ, the New York Tribune says:
"Yuletide has been held as a sacred
festival by numberless nations. Chris
tians hold December % rs the anniver-
sary of the birth Of Jesus. China, on
the same day, celebrates the birth of
Buddha. son of Maya. The Druids
held during the winter solstice the fes-
tival of Nolagh. Egypt held that
Horus, son of Isis, was born toward the
close of December. Greece celebrated
in the winter solstice the birth of Ceres,
Bacchus and Hercules. Numerous
Indian tribes keep Yuletide as a relig-
ious festival. Mexico holds in the win
ter sostice the festival of Cap@rame.
Persia at the same period honors the
birth of Mithra. Rome celebrated on
December % the festival 'Natalis Soils
Invicta.' Scandinavia held at Yule-
tide the festival called Jul, in honor of
Freya, son of Odin."
