HINTS FOR FARMERS
Feeds Per Day For cowa.

There is no doubt that different kinds
Of food might make some difference in
The number of feeds required in day
for the best preservation of the cows
health and the greatest production of
milk she is capable Of affording, writes
J. w. Ingham in American Cultivator.
1t is well known that some foods are
figested more quickly than others and
possess less nutritive qualities and
therefore should be fed oftener for the
comfort of the COW and the most profit
of the dairyman.
Some cows have stronger digestive
powers than others, and consequently
their stomachs have done their work
and are ready to receive another meal
sooner. Green, tender grass, roots,
pumpkins and apples Will be digested
sooner than hay, corn fodder and grain.
A COW Of vigorous digestion, fed on
food that is easily digested and not
overstrong in nourishment, might get
hungry oftener and do better on three
meals day. but the generality of cows
fed on dry feed, hay, cornstalks, silage,
cornmeal and bran are, according to
my experience, less dainty and par
ticular about their food, eat it with a
greater relish and do better in the long
run with but two feeds per day.

writes an Illinois farmer in American

Washington, Feb. 2T.-As a result of
cablegrams received at the state de-
partment from United States Consul
General Rodgers at Shanghai announc-
ing that American missions at Nan
chang had been attacked by Boxers,
fourteen missionaries forced to flee and
six French Jesuits and two members
Of the bingham family. English mis-
sionaries, killed, orders were given for
the dispatch Immediately to Shanghai

now at Cayite, in the Philippines. This
move is regarded as significant
Mr.. Rodgers sent two kilograms. In
the first he said that during the riots
the American mission stations at Nan
chang had been destroyed and that the
fourteen American missionaries there
had escaped. The bingham family
consisting Of two adults and two chill
dren. were reported killed. The Ameri-
can missions at Nanchang were Meth

French and British Slain.
Mr.. Rodgers later cabled that the
Nanchang trouble originated in dis
pute between the French Jesuits and
Chinese officials. A Chinese magis-
trate was at first reported to have been
stabbed by Catholic missionary, but
it is now asserted that the magistrate
stabbed himself In the riot which oc-
cured six Jesuits and two members of
the bingham family were killed
Chinese troops were protecting the
refugees, who are going to Kiulliang.
The American mission building is I'M
derstood to have been saved, and order
Is now restored Mr. Rodgers adds
that all is quiet in Shanghai He be-
lieves the trouble is entirely local.
The American gunboat Ell Cano at
Marking has been ordered to proceed
Immediately to Kiukiang, where she
viii probably arrive tomorrow. The
scene of the trouble IS about 400 miles
up the Yangtse river.
A cablegram sent by Commander
Fletcher, the senior officer of the RAJ
leigh, at Shanghai. received at the ma
Wy department confirms substantially
Consul General Rodgers report
Trouble Only Local.
The Officials here accept Consul Gen-
eral Rodgers suggestion that the trou-
Bile at Nanchang is local. but it is real
lied that the incident itself appears to
justify such preparations as are now
under way from military point Of
view The report that English subjects
have been killed is the most serious
phase Of the affair, for it is said that
this fact may be made the basis Of
forcible measures on the part OF the
British government that might intiame
the entire Chinese population.
Nanchang, where the missions were
destroyed, lies upon the shores of Lake
Poyang, in the northern portion of the
province of Kiangsi. and the Yangtse
river is navigable up to that point, as
well as the lake itself. for warships of
considerable size.
