BATTLE WITH GYPSIES.
Federal immigration Inspectors Have
a Hard Fight

NEW YORK, July ga pitched
battle was fought in Brooklyn today
between immigration inspectors and

The trouble had its ori"'" -
refusal of the gypsies to board the
steamer Verdi, which was to take
them to Buenos Ayres. In the heat
of the melee several children were

of children against the inspectors who
were trying to drive them from a tut

THE PIONEER PRINTER.

When people go out into the wilder
ness nowadays to start a new town
they take printing press along in
the same wagon with the first pillow,
for they have learned that there is
little profit in turning up the sod of
the prairie and building a town unless
other people are told about it in such
enthusiastic fashion that they will
come along later and buy the town
lots at advanced prices. Along with
the surveyor goes the editor his eyes
open for every natural resource, his
imagination supplying anything which
may be lacking. He is a picturesque

The Crop Reporter IS cndeayorlng to
tell for what purposes corn Is used. In
the year 1899, SO this authority states,
the total crop was 2,6G6,OO0,0OO bushels,
Or this crop 100000 bushels We're
consumed in the flour and grist mills ;
100000 in manufacture of starch. D.
OOG,0O0 for malt liquors, 100000 in
distilling of liquors, 4000O,00O for glu-
cOse 100000 for export and 49,
100000 for seed. This accounts for
only 1913 per cent of the entire crop,
most Of the remainder being used for
feeding purposes. The more one studies
the corn crop the more interesting it
becomes It's magnitude as a food
giyer and labor-employer grows with
every observation one makes of the
corn crop.-Springfield Register.

Make the Dairy Pay.

There are 81, 19i 600 mich cows in
the United States-an average of one
COW to four of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita of the consumption Of milk
and a decrease of COWS per capita OF
the population indicates that there has
been an improvement in the quality of
the dairy cows of the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production of every dairy cow
showed an increase Of LOCO pounds of
milk, or commercial gain of $2l1,-
mitted, there are many diaries that are
/ being operated at a loss. The life of a
dairy COW is estimated at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seyenth Of her full value, which is
taken into consideration in computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain if his herd is pay
ing profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate it, the cost of the
feed the interest on the investment and
the normal depreciation of the value
of the cows. All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
! The receipts of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges, but also leave a liberal
balance for profit.

Of the failure of the corn crop or fail
ure to get corn planted at all, is rec
commended by the Ohio station. The
earlier sorts can be seeded through
most common use made of the crop
and for this it compares fayoraby with
timothy, both in composition and di-
gestibility. 1t is good feed for cattle
horses and sheep, but when ovcrripc
should not be fed to horses exclusively

most equal to a summer fallow

Around the Dairy,

There must be no guesswork about
feeding the calf. The stomach of the
young calf is easily ruined by slipshod
methods of feeding. Think Of this when
tempted to feed it milk that Is too hot
or too cold in a bucket that is not as
clean and sweet as it should be.
Milk that sticks TO the sides of the
pail and becomes sour is a bad propo-
sition, as it may cause an attack of
the Scours. This trouble means a break
in the calls growth, perhaps a stunted
calf, and in the end an animal of little
value.
Do not oblige the cows to bunk about
the straw pile until the chilly nights
are past. Dry spots for them TO SLEEP
on are usually very scarce At that sea
son of the year.
Don't turn the cattle to pasture toe
early. A good plan to follow is to wait
until you conclude the grass is sufi.
GENTLY large to turn them on, then
wait a week or ten days longer.

Cats of New Colors.

Many triumphs in original color We're
seen at the great champion show of cats
at the Crystal palace.
With the modern cat beauty is to Il
large extent skin deep--that is to say,
coat and color reckon high, and high
value is set on certain combinations of
color which have only recently been
achieved in their full measure. The most
artistic of all modern cats is the blue
Russian, Of which Lady Dccies has the
Pick and won most of the prizes. Her
best exhibits are of level light blue
tint, absolutely Tnticckcd by any other
shade, and they possess that second de
Sidcratum-a copper colored eye, which,
to the regret of all cat breeders, is apr
a fade into the common green with age
In the ease of the white smooth haired
eat the eye should be blue. and such an
Gnimal as the unbcaten Eulmer Snow
storm is revelation in the breeders
power to get the pure colOrs he seeks.
Again. the silver tabbies, whose virtue
depends on the blackness of the lines
and the clearness of the marking he
tween them are preferred either with
golden or green eyes. But to judge by
two of the beSt-Miss Copes Roiail

of Thorpe-the gold is preferred.
SO, in the self-color "oranges,' 4 very
popular shade in rough haired cats. the
eye matches the coat very closely, But
TO the public. who do not deal in special
color, the smooth haired Russian blues
with the copper eyes are the most re-
uarkabe example of modern color
schemes and the highly artistic cat

about forty minutes the curdling mess
is pounded and then the whey pressed

SEA GULLS DEFENDED.
Massachusetts Expert Denies They Are
Destroying Fish and Birds Eggs.

The accusation made against sea gulls
by fishermen of Scotland that they are
destroying fish and eggs Of birds and
are increasing too fast under statutory
protection is denied by Prof. E. II. For
bush. ornithologist for the state board of
agriculture of Massachusetts, who has
made special study of the bird this
year and has not found one herring
gull or black headed gull attacking the
eggs of other birds.
Large numbers of dead fish were
washed up on the Massachusetts beach
Is this summer owing to the unusual
number of whales. which drove the small
fish so near land that they We're caught
by the breakers and tossed ashore. Town
scavenger departments found it difficult
10 keep the beaches clear and they would
have become offensive if it had not been
for the gulls which swooped down and
greedily ate the dead fish. This is put
to the credit of the gulls.
The live fish which the gulls eat, Prof.
Forbush declares, are not of the Valu-
able kind but small species like the
sand eel. mummychog and minnow.
Prof Forbush also points out that the
charge that gulIs kill young ducks must
not be brought against the gull family
as whole but only few individuals.
AS there are black sheep i'll the human
family so there are bad disposltoned
guls which may kill young ducks, put
On observer once noted that out oil
hundred or more gulls only two were
guilty Of such killing.
The value of guls TO the mariner,
Prof. Forbush says, is we'll known. In
thick summer weather the appearance
of guls in numbers or the sound OF
their clamorous voices gives warning
to the sailors that he is nearing the rocks
on which they breed. Shore fishermen
enshrouded in fog can tell the direction
of the islands on which the birds live
by watching their undertaking hight
homeward with food for their young.
The keen senses of sea birds enable
them to head directly for their nests
even in dense mist. Fishermen also dis
cover schools of fish by watching the
sea birds.
AS to tire statement that the protec-
ton Of the gulls is causing them to in
crease too fast, Prof Forbush says that
there is no chance for an abnormal in
crease in this country because of the
lack of properly protected breeding
places. The smallest of the family.
the the least tern, is in fact III danger of
determination.
Another service which the gulls and
other sea birds render is fertilizing, soil
building and seed sowing on barren is
lands.
