CHEAPER GAS" FIGHT
The people lost a point in the
fight for cheaper gas against the
Peoples Gas Light and Coke Co.
today when the decision of Judge
Seaman, restraining the com
pany from charging more than 80
cents per thousand cubic feet for
gas and. impounding the differ
ence between the 80 cent, rate and
the IS cent rate, the maximum
fixed by the new ordinance, was
reversed by the appellate. court.
The company will continue to
charge at the 80 cent rate, and
the difference between that and
the ordinance rate will not be inn
pounded.
A bill is now pending before
the superior. court, which will de-
eide whether the company shall
be enJol1ed from charging more
than the price fixed by the ordi-
nance.
Corporation Counsel Sexton
said he did not think the decision
was a blow to the. ordinance, as
the equity of the bill now in ,court
was not attacked, the Judgment
merely eliminating the provision
for impounding.

The FIRST REAL BATTLE
In the Newest Mexican Insur-

II Is Reported That Many Were KILLED
In Engagement at Chi
huahua.

FL Paso, Texas-The first real bat
tie of the revolt against President Ma.
dero was waged for the possession Of
Chihuahua City, the capital of the
province of the same name. Accord
ing to kilograms received here, the
casualties were heavy.
The battle showed a new alignment
of leaders on both sides. Gen. Pas
cual Orozco, leader of Madero's forces
led the rebl army, while Gen. Villa,
supposed to be died-in-the-wool rebel,
switched to the other side.
Orozco and his force was in com.
mand of the city and was attacked by
Villa in the forenoon.
After several hours fighting Villa
withdrew his forces, but renewed the
attack in the afternoon. At dusk the
firing ceased, but at o'clock Villa
again led an attack.
Gen. Salazar was notified by wire at
Juarez of the fighting and the garrison
was Immediately sent to the relief OF
the rebels at Chihuahua.
Recently Hernandez, with his COM
mand, was at Galego, about 81 miles
north of Chihuahua. Maxine Castillo,
another rebel chieftain, with 300 or 400
men, has been at Villa Ahumada, 80
miles north of Chihuahua. He, too, is
said to be proceeding to join Orozco.
American and Mexican refugees in
this city account for the report that
Villa led the federal forces against the
rebels with two explanations.

rounded by husk. Within the last
three years at least two such "discov.
cries" have been heralded through the
press of the country, but in each case
a little investigation showed that in
stead of something new it was only
our old friend, the pod corn, that had
come to notice and someone's dream
of a fortune went glimmering.
There are several reasons why pod
corn is thought to be the original type.
The first is that, when planted, it
shows tendency to break up into
several types. To illustrate: Last
year several rows of pod corn were
planted on the University farm and,
at harvest time, it was found that,
while most of the crop was podded,
some ears were only partly podded
and some ears were entirely bare, the
kernel husks having decreased to such
an extent as to be mere scales, simi.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1912-03-07

lar to those found at the bases of the
kernels of our common corn. 1t is
very easy for one to conclude that by
careful selection and breeding an i'm.
proved type could be developed from
this corn.
The pod corn plant suckers abund
ahtly, is very leafy and has a ten,
delcy to produce kernels in the tas.
sci. Every farmer knows that ordi.
nary corn occasionally produces a
freak" stalk or ear. 1t may take the
form of kernels in the tassel, ears
more or less podded, oddly-shaped
ears, or stalks branching and tree.
like. These are all considered to be
reversions back to an original type,
which answers pretty we'll the de-
scription of pod corn.
Pod corn is grown only as a curios.
ity or for educational purposes. 1t
has no place on the average farm and
it is brought to notice here only be-
cause of the interesting part 1t prob.
ably has played in the development of
our improved types of corn.

OF DETERMINING AMOUNT

IS BOON TO DAIRY INDUSTRY
Detects Improbable Cows, Condemns
or Praises the Separator and
Shows Efficiency of

TIE Babcock milk tester is a valu-
able asset to the dairy industry. When
properly used in connection with the
scales, II reveals the profitable and
improbable cows; it condemns or
praises the work of the separator and
shows the efficiency of churning by
revealing the loss of fat in the skim
sible to sell milk on it's fat content,
the only fair way to sell it. No dairy
mans equipment is complete without
this instrument. A four-bottle Bah
cock tester complete can be had for
five or six dollars. Larger testers
lest more.
The Babcock test is a simple, quick,
cheap and reliable method of determ-
lining the percentage of butter fat in
milk, cream, skim milk, buttermilk,
etc. General rules for making the
test are as follows: The equipment
needed for making the test is: The
tester, which consists of centrifuge,
either open or covered a number of
test bottles. pipette, bottle of
sulphuric acid and graduated measure,
a pair of dividers. General rules for
testing milk are as follows: Wash
ali glassware clean with strong al
kali solution and rinse with clean wa

pie to be tested should be represent
ative of the whole lot from which it is
taken. A temperature around 70
degrees F. is best for making the
test. A 17.6 C. c. pipette is used to
measure the required amount of
milk and to deposit it in the test
bottle. Care must be exercised to see
that the work is done accurately. If
the test bottle is held at little in
