HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE



The death BY heart failure OF Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, says the Medical
Record, emphasizes the repeated
warnings Of the medical profession
that we should treat senile heart
with respect. As far as we know
there Is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point -every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-fve,
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
7 through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but a heavy man,
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries hydrostatic pressure be-
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
THE pitiful feature of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant IN his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion Of lie
insurance examiners that army off,
GERS. were becoming poor risks on ac-
count Of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart OF a man over forty
I'VE with more gentleness.

KANSAS COWS
MAKE RECORDS
CarIotta Gave 1878 Pounds OF
MIR In One Year Fatr1y
Good Average Yield Is
5000 Pounds.

If cow gives 5000 pounds of milk
q year most men are satisfied. This
is fairly good average yield But
here are some two-year-old Ayrshires
tht surpass that figure by long way.
Their work was described by Prof. O.
E. Reed, head of the dairy depart
ment, in the annual institute. Here
are the records:
Canary Belle, 1918 pounds of milk
and 437 pounds of butter, 81 per cent
test.
Fearnot of Oakdale, 5,218 pounds of
milk and 1872 pounds of butter, 40S
per cent test
Johanna of Juneau, 1881 pounds Of
milk and 1896 pounds of butter, 372
per cent test.
Rose of Oakdale, 1886 pounds Of
milk and 308 pounds of butter, 4.42
per cent test.
Any one of these cows would sup
port family of five persons. Such
cows probably could be bought for
sits or 5000, but not at the college.
The cost Of feeding the ration, and the
income. may be gagged for all the
group by referring to the history of
Johanna Of juneau. a model family
COW; Johanna ate, every day, thirty
pounds of silage, ten pounds of alfalfa
had, and nine pounds of grain, con-
sisting of four parts of corn, two parts
of bran. and one part of cottonseed
meal. This ration cost So a month.
1t was fed as described only when the
cow was giving the highest yield. One
pound Of the grain ration was allow
ed for every three pounds of milk, so
that when Johanna gave 81 pounds of
milk a day she received 8 pounds of
the grain
Johanna gave 1913 gallons of milk
which sold in Manhattan for 80 cents
a gallon. 8 cents quart, or $685.. rs.
Not bad kind of COW to have
around. And. by the way. gallon of
milk weighs eight pounds Professor

An explanation of why Captain
Davis. OF the Paducah, did not land
marines at Daiquirf was received in
cablegram at the State Department
from the American Consul at Santiago.
1t stated that the Cuban government
had established permanent garrison
Of IS men at Daiquiri, where the Span
ish-Amerfcan mining properties are
located That force is probably suf-
ficient for the present to defend the
place against the insurgents. The
Paducah Is still at Daiquiri and may

Want 10000 Rifles.
The Cuban Minister. Senior Rivero,
called at the State Department to
secure permission for the purchase OF
10000 stands OF rifles to arm the
volunteer corps now being raised in
Cuba by the government, and to en-
able the plantation owners to arm
their employees and organize into
guards to protect their property
against pillage by the insurgents. The
request will be granted and the War
Department will have an opportunity
to advantageously dispose OF guam
tity Of the discarded Krag-J orgensen
rifles. Some Of these weapons were
sent to Cuba about two years ago.
With an American gunboat station
Cd on each side OF the Eastern end Of
Cuba prepared to land forces at a
