CRUISERS LOADED
WITH ARMS FOR WAR
Three Warships Filled With
Ball Ammunition, New
Rifles and Revolvers.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The big cruis-
ers Tennessee, North Carolina, and
Montana expect to clear for Guantan-
amo at daybreak tomorrow.
That the Navy Department anticipates
more of a fight than "a frolic" was
shown by the placing on board today
of nearly 5000 rifles of the new SPRING
field type, used by the army, and the
same number OF the recently adopted
type of navy revolver. which also uses
the same ammunition as do the weapons
OF the army.
More than 10000 rounds of ammunition
accompanied the shipment, and the off,
GERS on the big war craft, although
under orders not to talk, had hard work
concealing their surprise, as 1t had been
understood these rifles and revolvers
would not be ready for navy use until
midsummer. Because the rifles use the
regular army type of ammunition, there
was a general belief that the marines
and sailors of the cruisers may yet be
doing duty shoulder to shoulder with
the regular troops now in Texas.
The warships are coaled, amply pro-
visioned, and their magazines are full,
but they will be held here through to-
day to permit all members of the crews
and officers now on furlough TO join.

NEW YORK. March 9-Enrique G.
Creel, the Mexican minister If fOreig I
affairs, sent a telegram from Mexico
City to Frederick Stallforth, Mexican
banker now in New York. reassuriHg
him as TO conditions in Mexico. Mr..
Stallforth, a banker OF Parral, IN Chi
huahua, and representing large New
York interests in Mexico, had wired Mr.
CTeel saying that persons having inter-
ests in Mexico were very much alarmed
by the printed accounts OF the situa-
tiOn, and would like to be more certain
OF the state of affairs. Mr.. Creel re-
piled:
There is no reason for uneasiness.
The government is making strong prep
arationS to control the situation. Small
bands of bandits in other states Uhan

canoe"
Another man representing large Amer
lean banking interests in Mexico said
when shown the dispatch from Mr.. CreeI
that he considered Mr. CreeI the strong
est man in Mexican affairs next to
President Diaz, and that he believed the
minister's statement of the situation to
he q true one. He said that he was not
worrying much over possible danger TO
American investments in Mexico.

BLOOD OR LINSEED MEAL.
BY e. G. Glitzke. Kansas.

Few farmers understand the feed
Ing and medicinal value of either
blood meal or linseed meal Perhaps
no other food contains the necessary
food element In such concentrated
form.
In order to be successful In their
use one must thoroughly understand
their composition, for the one Is ex-
food value. from the other.
Blood meal Is a highly concen-
trated form of protein. that most val
liable of food elements-the part from
which animals receive their muscles.
1t is the main element that growing
stock should have In order to build UP
a strong constitution.
Where much corn Is fed some blood
meal should be added In order to
balance up the ration. for corn Is very
rich in fat.
Such young stock as pigs. calves and
colts very often get the scours from
overlooking. but a few doses of blood
meal will correct the bowels at once
and carry the animal safely through
this dangerous disease.
In the case of very young stock
that follow their mother 1t should be
given to the dam and the young will
get the benefit Of 1t through the milk.
In all other cases give It directly to
the young stock In such quantities as
may be needed to suit the size of the
animal and severity of the case.
Linseed meal is exactly opposite In
all its properties. 1t has a tendency
to loosen the bowels, therefore it Is
very valuable in cases of constipation.
food element that gives heat and
energy to the stock.
Where any food deficient In fat is
fed to- the stock a quantity of linseed
meal should be added to balance UP
the ration.
Hand fed calves are usually fed
on skinned milk. Now the fat OF
tho milk has been taken out by the
separator and therefore the protein
remains in excess of all other elem
ents.
"A small quantity Of linseed meal fed
in the milk will balance up the ration
and make 1t practically as good as
the whole milk.
In cases of constipation In very
young stock that follow their mother
it should be given to the dam as the
young will get the benefit of 1t through
the milk.
Where these two articles are kept
on hand the farmer need have nc
fear of either constipation or scours
in his stock, for these two articles
act exactly as described and no evil
.aeu1+o oood no foprod from III oiY
constant use.

SCIENCE AND FARM BOYS.

The sky-scraper newspaper editor
recently asserted that "all the science
there IS about farming can, be easily
acquired by the young man as he
grows up with the farm and assimi-
lates II with the practice of agricul-
ture."
It IL one of the common and most
dangerous mistakes to assume that
any boy born and raised on a farm
is natural farmer. There are as
many boys born on The farm who
ought to be In commercial life as
there are boys born in the city who
ought to be farmers. No matter where
a boy Is born he must have a natural
love Of farming and to this he must
apply science in his everyday work to
become successful.
If the science Of farming was taught
to farm boys there would be fewer
discontinued ones. Many a boy with
an active brain and healthy ambi-
ton leaves the farm because he can
not see any scope for his activities
He must have occupation for his brain
as we'll az his muscle and II he had
been taught the science Of farming he
might have found plenty Of both to
keep him from becoming lonesome
and might have remained on the
farm.
The monotonv Of farm life Is the
result of ignorance rs to Its wonderful
interest and possibilities and when
these are understood by either boy or
man. contentment and success always
follow.

To prevent scours in calves. proper
care should be given to the mother

AS scours Is a germ disease, It is
important that the calf be free from

offspring.
It is for this reason that calves SO

Scours in calves or calf cholera IN
many instances differ from diarrhoea

lures Of its own. taking the form OF
infectious intestinal catarrh which Is
far more serious than the diarrhoea OF
the full grown animal.
Scours in calves generally appear
suddenly. A perfectly healthy calf
may be seized all at once, apparently.
without any change in food or care.
The symptoms, Of this infantiie
diarrhoea usually appear during the
first two or three weeks Of life.
II many cases scours appear within
a few hours after the animal is born.
and the calf may die within from
twenty-four hours unless it receives
prompt and proper treatment.
It Is common for the calf to be af-

birth, even before it has had time to
suck or take any nourishment what
