atory to Curacao - Troops Are
Called Out.

Willemstad, Island Of Curacao, July
28.-The relations between Venezuela
and the people of the Island of Cura.
Gao, Dutch West Indies, are strained
to the breaking point. Following a
long series of what the residents of
Curacao regard as antagonistic &C.
tions on the part of President Castro,
directed against themselves and the
Dutch government, mobs gathered in
force at this capital Saturday night
and yesterday and expressed their re.
sentiment in an attack upon the home
of a Venezuelan who had published
statements in Venezuelan papers de.
rogatory to the island, and later held

zuelan consul, surrounded the German
consulate, where he had taken refuge
and compelled the ordering out of
armed troops so that the consul might
the protected from injury. The demon
stration before the residence of the
Venezuelan consul, Senior Lopez, oc.
Cured late Saturday night, and al
though no actual attack was made it
is stated that two. shots were fired
from the consul's house. No one, how.
ever, was injured.
Prior to this, about 10 o'clock at
night, mob numbering about 1000
gathered in front of the dwelling of
Venezuelan resident, who, it is al
legged, had insulted Curacao in the
Venezuela papers, broke down the
doors with stones and, selling the
man, compelled him to sign a paper
which set forth an elaborate excuse
for the publication of the statements
with which he was charged.
Forced to Apologies. ~
The leaders of the populace also
forced him to make public apology
from the balcony of his home, while
the crowd below hooted and groaned
in accompaniment. No bodily harm
was done to any one, but the shouting
and cheering continued for a time,
and then procession was formed and
a march made upon the consul's
house.
There was gathering again of the
mob yesterday morning, and when it
was learned that the Venezuelan con-
sui had proceeded to the German con-
su!ate this building was surrounded
by an ever increasing mob.
Troops Patrol Streets.
The attorney general made deter
mined effort to quiet the populace,
which was becoming more and more
excited all the while. A small mill.
tary force attempted to check the
demonstration, but for time that
was found impossible.
1t became necessary eventually to
call out additional troops, and these
at once proceeded to patrol the
streets and stop the rioting. An
armed guard was left to protect the
Venezuelan consulate and another
guard was stationed at the consul's
residence. Other troops continued
patrolling the city.

REJOICING OVER suLTAN's ACT.

Constitution Shown in Turkey.
Constantinople, July 28.-Following
the momentous act of the sultan of
Turkey in proclaiming Saturday the
restoration of the constitution of 1876,
the Turkish newspapers are trying to
awaken the enthusiasm of the people.
They published long articles praising
the sultan for the establishment Of
the constitution, which the writer's
declare finally assures the prosperity,
liberty, justice and equality so long
awaited.
The imperial trade was officially
read in all Of the provincial centers,
where it was received with signs of
popular rejoicing such as were nota-
bly, lacking in the capital.
Day Of Rejoicing.
Sunday was given up to patriotic
demonstrations and speeches in the
general rejoicing All the steamers
on the Bosphorous were gaily deco
rated with flags and 10000 men
marched in procession to the Yildez
Kiosk and cheered the sultan continu-
ously. The evening papers publish an
imperial rescript pointing out that
owing to the previous condition of the
country it was impossible to apply a
constitution but that the time had
arrived to grant this to the people.
The hope was expressed in the re-
script that the people would cooper
ate with the parliament and the sui
tan. The rescript concludes with the
imperial thanks for the popular mani
festations During the demonstra-
tions on Saturday the people compell-
ed the ministers of state to swear
fidelity to the constitution. :,

FIERCE FIGHT WITH INDIANS
Mexican Troops Attack Village AM
Kill Nineteen Papaqos.


Tucson, Ariz., July 26. - In a des
perate battle between Mexican troops
and Papago Indians at the Imaculada
ranch, near Cetro, Colo, a mining
camp in the Altar district of Sonora,
nineteen Indians and two soldiers
were killed and five soldiers were
wounded. The encounter resulted
from an attempt to return the Indians
to their reservation. The Papagos are
usually peaceful, but many complaints
of depredations upon ranches by this
band caused the government on two
previous occasions to send troops to
subdue them. The Indians fed to the
mountains both times.
The present expedition, under Capt.
Baron, with sixty soldiers, surprised
an Indian village. The soldiers found
no one in camp but two boys, as the
remainder Of the population were
gathering cactuo fruit in the hills.
The soldiers set fire to the houses and
the Indians rushed to the rescue of
their homes.
Seeing the troops, they took refuge
behind nearby rocks and opened fire.
Baron ordered the bugler to sound the
retreat. The troops retired and the
Indians pursued, thinking they had
routed the soldiers. The latter, how
ever, soon halted and opened fire, kill
ing nineteen of the hostiles and
wounding many. The Indians fed,
taking their wounded with them.
Among the killed are Chief Dolores
and his soon. These two are said to
have been the chief trouble makers.

MILK PRODUCTION.

Atwood SAYS that one quart OF milk
has about as much nutritive value as
pound of beef. Now, we can purchase
in milk nutritive material at less cost
than you can get in beef. | would
like you to bear in mind that milk is
one of the cheapest of the nutritlve
foods which we may purchase and mas
this great advantage over beef-1t is
almost, if not entirely, digested. Man
in the process of the study OF this
question looked for some animal which
could give him this nutritive material
at the smallest cost and after expert
menting with all the lower animals he
came to the conclusion that the COW
was the one which would produce milk
in the greatest quantity and at the
lowest cost.
One of the factors we must bear in
mind regarding a good cow is that we
must have a strong, healthy, vigorous
one if we would have milk that has
what is called vitality. | think it
would be impossible to get the best
milk for drinking purposes from a
COW that is low in vitality.
Secondly, the cow must be fed the
right kind of food There are some
their COWS straw all winter, give them
all the straw they can eat, and then
swear at them because they will not
give more milk.
1t is little wonder that many farm
ers are unable to obtain satisfactory
milk production. They do not feed.
For five or six months of the year
the farmer must substitute for grass
such foods as mangels, carrots and
corn silage. Turnips should not be
fed to COWS producing milk. If you
want the best quality in milk do not
feed turnips.
We should recommend the following
rations for winter milk production:
Eight to 10 pounds clover hay, 80 to
40 pounds corn silage, 20 to 80 pounds
mangels, eight to 10 pounds meal
made up of equal parts of oats and
bran by weight and one to two pounds
of oil cake, gluten meal or pea meal,
the ration to be given in two feeds
daily to each COW. A cow does not
need to be fed more than twice day
under ordinary conditions.-Pro H.
H. Dean, Ontario.

products are higher today than they
ever have been in the history of dairy
ing, and we see no more danger OF
overproduction now than we did 40
years ago.
Each year we find people consuming
more dairy products. The advent of
the breakfast foods has been the
means of increasing the use of milk
and cream; the advent of the cream
cry has brought more uniform and
better grade of butter and consequent
ly increased consumption and the ad-
vent of the milk bottle has increased
the city consumption of milk. 1t has
increased the consumption of milk, not
only in the household, but great guam
titles of milk are now served in hotels,
restaurants and saloons in half pint
bottles. 1t is safe to predict that the
consumption of milk will not only in
crease as the population increases,
but there will be an increase per cap
tia as we improve the quality of our
dairy products.
The great danger at the present
time is underproduction for there are
fewer COWS relative to the population
than there were 10 years ago, and
people are consuming more milk,
cream, butter and cheese.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

In an editorial on the growing in
terest in dairying. the Chicago Dairy
Produce says: Another gratifying and
assuring feature is the big demand
there is for the true dairy COW. Breed
ers of this type report an unprece-
denied demand for both pure bred
dairy COWS and dairy sires as well.
The facts are the breeders are unable
to supply the demand. This all goes
to prove that the farmers recognize
the fact that they must go into dairying
more extensively and must go into it
right. The better the COWS the more
profit there will be in the business,
and the greater the profit the more
permanency there will be to the bust
ness. We don't mean by this that dali
rying will be overdone; if properly
conducted it cannot be. With in
creased interest in it we can look
for an improved product; the neces-
sity for this will be apparent to every
body and this is what we particularly
need. We need a better product.
Make it good enough and we never can
make enough of it.

The Ellensburg Capital states that
A. M. Stevens has been aiming for a
herd of COWS which will average 500
pounds of butter each year. He has
been raising the records every year at
the rate of about so pounds per year,
and says the herd of an average of 500
pounds butter per COW is in sight. His
herd of 1871 cows( one milking but
half the yearly period) averaged 447
pounds of butter per COW for the past
IL months. The total amount of cash
received for the butter was $1,75141.
The best COW in the herd was Ger
ties Brown Bessie, which produced
11,O61.11 pounds milk, which yielded
555.71 pounds butter fat Her aver
age test was 5.0237.
