AMERICANS WATCH
The MEXICAN
INSURGENTS
Continued from page -

In a leiSurely manner and in good order
,fter exchanging a number Of shots
With the inSurrectos, and, finding that
they showed no intention of attacking
the city, the federals returned to
Juarez and maintained vigilant watch
during the night.
From the roofs in JuareZ, the feder-
ais could see the fires at the insur-
recto camp and from the camp the in
surgents could plainly see the lights
of the town. The two waiting COM
mands merely waited and watched
Each expected reinforcements and each
hoped the reinforcements of the other
would be the last to arrive.
The insurrectos this morning drove
about 200 goats down to the river for
water. The army is evidently not with
out food.
Mexieans Enthusiastic.
The enthusiasm of the American
Mexicans in the smelter settlement
when the insurrectos went into action
Tuesday afternoon was particularly no
ticeable.
The employees of the smelter seem
ed to be in sympathy with the rebels
and cheered them every time they
came to the river for water and many
threw them Coins after the skirmish
when the rebels had returned to their
former position on the river bank to
drink
The sympathies Of the Mexican resi-
dents of the smelter district were

that a number Of the more adventur-

causes for the production of eggs.
Hens over two years old must be dis
carded because they will not lay well;
heavy meat producing hens do not
make good layers: and breeders pos
sessing poor vitality can never be eX-
pected to lay or produce hatchable
eggs, no matter how we'll they may be
fed. Any fowl showing the least signs
OF low vitality should be discarded.
Eggs are made of the feed given TO
the hens and grain alone will not
make eggs. II winter eggs are desired
the poultryman must attempt TO re-
produce summer conditions. This
can be done by supplying beef scraps
or skim milk mixed with bran and
shorts accompanied by some green
food such as sprouted oats, cabbage,
or beets. Few Indiana farmers know
how their flock of poultry stand fl
nancially, due to the fact that few
records are kept. No one can tell
the standing af any line of business
without records and Mr.. Phillips
and Mr.. Crane heartily recommended
the keeping of few records at least.

powder was in demand because of its

that the dough in the center is not

and the same complaint may be made
in regard to the raised batter. Cake

this respect. If bread is harder to

"HORSE PRODUCTION"

THE MANAGEMENT OF
POULTRY ON FARM

At Q o'clock, Mr. Crane who has
charge of the poultry work at Purdue
talked on the subject of Management
of Poultry on the Farm" He touched
first on the subject of marketing eggs
and poultry, showing the immense an
nual loss of at least 100000 due to
present methods of handling eggs. and
advocating a grading system of buy
ing eggs according TO quality. At the
present time eggs are bought at so
much per dozen. irregardless of quail
lily. thus providing no incentive to
the farmer for better eggs. Such sys-
tenn should be abolished. Lack of
business methods on the part Of both
the buyer and farmer is the cause of
this present condition. In order to
market eggs they must first be pro-
duced and since the present prices of
eggs make the question a pertinent
one, Mr.. Crane showed some of the

ton among creamery patrons because
their cream tests vary from time to
time. 1t should be understood that
there are great many factors that
may cause this variation, and in most
instances the man testing has better
control OF his operations in testing
than the farmer does of his operation
in producing. There are a few fac
tors not controllable by the producer,
such as the percent of fat in the milk
TO be separated and it is found that
the percent of fat in the cream varies
directly as the per cent. of fat in the
milk. That is when other conditions
are the same. 3 per cent. milk will
produce 80 per cent. cream and five
per cent. milk will produce so per
cent cream. Then We have many con-
ditions under the control of the pro-
Queer that cause variation in the
per cent. of fat in cream such as ad-
justment of cream screw, speed of
machine, steadiness of machine, rate
of inflow, and amount of water or
skinned milk used for flushing, all
of these and many more cause wide
variation il not absolutely uniform.
Then too there are conditions under
the control of the purchaser that will
influence the uniformity of the test
They are: fairness of sample; care
of sample; and accuracy of test. All
OF the above should be considered
when there is a variation in the cream
test before anyone is accused of dis
honesty. The farm separator is one
of the most important factors in the
dairy business either for good or evil
depending upon the way in which it
is used
1t is the abuse and not the use of
the separator that has struck such a
blow at the quality of butter in the
past few years. If reasonable care be
taken of separator cream, there is no
reason why butter cannot be made
from it that will compare with the
best butter from the whole milk sys-
tenn.

lecture. Substitutes for oats suggest
ed by different experiment stations
and which have proven satisfactory
are ear corn, pound for pound: bran,

cotton seed meal. 1t is wise TO give
the horse on Sundays or holidays Il

working days. Bran. little corn or
oats; and plenty of hay; together with

LECTURED ON MAIN
TENANCE OF HOME

In the Domestic Science department
in the afternoon, Miss Woodward de-
livered a lecture on the Maintenance
of the Home" She said in part: THE
Maintenance of the Home-my topic
for today-has been chosen because
of the fact that so many women make,
unknowingly drudgery of their home
work. Much of the present aversion
to household duties would vanish if
all possessed adequate preparation to
perform them, for it is a known fact
that whenever ones knowledge of
subject has passed the stage of drudg-
cry and becomes science its perform
ance becomes pleasure. There is
little in home more pathetic than
household in which no organization
exists, no systematic direction. of
activities and order A haphazard,
aimless management of home leaves
it's unmistakable stamp upon it's
inmates. Without the knowledge of
it the housewife in such a home suf-
fers infinitely more friction, loss of
time, and strength and money, than it
would cost to keep her housekeeping
in better hand. The easiest way to
care for ones home is to drive ones
household duties before one and to do
this successfully it must first be
known what is to be done; second:
who is to do it; and third: when it
is to be done. This however cannot
be managed without a knowledge as
to how to perform each detail of the
manner which means necessarily in
the long run the quickest and most
satisfactory way. A routine for ones
work should be planned and each wo-
men will find her own best methods
although it will be possible to give
some general suggestions as to it,"

PROF. CRANE TALKED
ON FARM SEPARATOR

Professor Perry Crane had for his
subject on Friday afternoon the
Farm Separator. He described the
different methods of separating cream
used on the farm and gave a detailed
description of each. The farm separ-
ator, he said. is based upon the law
of centrifugal force. Here the milk
is run into the machine while warm
and the speed of the bowl throws the
heavier portions to the outside, fore
ing the lighter portions to the inside
and these two products are allowed to
escape through separate outlets and
the result is skinned milk in one and
cream in the other vessel He said
the gravity cream or cream secured
by the gravity system seldom tests as
high as thirty per cent. fat 1t will
not churn as completely as thicker
cream and find great loss of butter
fat is found as there is a larger
amount of butter milk.
The care and setting up of the hand
separator are very important factors
in the efficiency of the machine. 1t
must be held securely and level The
bowl of separatoro not properly set
up will tremble which means a loss of
fat in the skinned milk. The speed
of the separator also influences the
efficiency of separation. The ma
chine must be run at the speed indi-
Gated upon the handle for the best re-
suits. The efficiency of separation is
also effected by the condition and
temperature of the milk, the best re-
suits being obtained when the milk
is separated directly, after being
drown from the cows. The machine
should not be forced beyond its capa-
city as there will be a loss if too
rich a cream is required.
There is a great deal of dissatisfac-
