Increase of MIX Eat.

A bulletin from the agricultural eX-
pertinent station OF Cornell university
describes experiments carried out on
ten cows to ascertain whether the fat
in milk could be increased by liberal
feeding. mixtures of such foods as cot
tonseed meal, wheat bran, gluten feed,
buckwheat middlings and linseed meal
being given, as much as the animals
would consume readily, in most cases
twelve pounds per COW per day, which
one COW exceeded. The summary Of
conclusions is that In a herd OF poorly
fed COWS ar abundant ration easily di-
gestible and rather heterogeneous in char
acter continued through two years re-
suited in an average increase of one
fourth OF per cent of fat in the milk.
which was about 6 per cent of increase
on the quantity given. This was ac-
companied by an increase of about 80
per cent in total amount of milk and
fat produced, and the increased produc-
tlon was secured economically.

East-Taft Estimates Cost.

Washii gton, March 6.-President
Roosevelt sent a message to congress
Monday, accompanying plans for coast
defense prepared by a joint board Of
army and navy officers, in which he
emphasized the necessity for further
defenses and reviews the history Of
the defensive works in this country.
The president calls especial atten-
ton to the recommendation of the
board that the entrance to Chesapeake
Bay be added to the list of places in
the United States to be defended. He
says the insular possessions cannot BIZ
longer neglected, if the United States
desires to hold them.
Defenses are recommended for Ma
Mia Bay, Pearl Harbor, Guantanamo,
Guam, San Juan and Honolulu, be-
cause of theft strategic locations. De-
lenses are recommended for entrance
to the Panama canal.
Necessity Greater Today.
In closing, the president says:
"The necessity for a complete and
adequate system of coast defense is
greater today than twenty years ago,
for the increased wealth Of the coun-
try offers more tempting inducements
to attack, and hostile fleet can reach
our coast in a much shorter period OF
time The fact that we now have a
navy, does not in any way diminish
the Importance of coast defences; on
the contrary, that fact emphasizes
their value and necessity for their
construction 1t was due to the Sc
curely defended condition of the Jap
anese ports that the japanese fleet
was free to seek out and watch its
proper objective-the Russian fleet
without fear of interruption or recall
to guard its home ports against raids
by the Vladivostok squadron.
"The security and protection of our
interests require the completion Of the
defenses of our coast and the accom-
panying plan merits and should re-
ceive the generous support of the con.
gress. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

port Of the board to the president,
