DICTATOR HUERTA'S CONGRESS
ORGANIZES; IGNORES
WASHINGTON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City, Nov. 18.-The United
States will inaugurate blockade Of
Mexican ports.
This move OF President Wilson to
force Huerta to terms became evident
when several ministers representing
foreign countries summoned the heads
Of their more important commercial
houses and asked them for inventories
Of shipments expected. This move
was made, 1t is said, on confidential
advices from Washington, 1t being de.
sired to have the commercial houses
In position better to guard their in
terests.
The German minister, Admiral Won
Hlntez, was the first to call In com.
mercial men representing interests in
that country. to lay the matter before
them.
1t is said here, on authority, that
President Wilson would be content
with blockade. and might even per.
NIT the embassy to remain in Mexico
City until an open rupture occurred.
Organization Of President Huerta's
new Congress was completed Monday
when enough senators were gathered
to form quorum in the upper house.
General Francisco Pronces was
chosen temporary chairman of the
Senate.
There is nothing to indicate that the
formal opening Of Congress next
Thursday will be postponed.
President Huerta talked informally
to the members Of his staff and few
personal friends regarding the posi-
bilities Of Intervention by the United
States. He intimated that he would
be ready to resist such step.
Huerta resumed business at the ma
tional palace apparently with nc
thought Of any questions pending be.
tween his government and that of the
United States. He seems to regard
recent incidents growing out OF
Washington's demand that he vacate
The presidency as closed.

IMPORTANCE OF cow TESTING
Careful Study of Records Of Herds In
Test Indicate That SiIage 10
Very Essential.

The Bureau of Animal Industry of
the Department of Agriculture has
two men specially engaged in giving
assistance to state officials in organic
ing and conducting contrasting asso-
Citations. During the last fiscal year
33 new associations we're formed and
seven were discontinued. There are
now 81 such associations in this coun-
try, the greater number of which the
dairy division has been instrumental
in organizing. These 81 associations
comprise about 10000 cows. An off,
cial of the dairy division in talking OF
the work in this direction, showed a
record of two herds in one of the as
sociations as an interesting example
Of what is being accomplished in en-
abling farmers to keep records of cost,
production, ETC., and to detect and
remedy any shortcomings. In herd
No. 1, 9.207 pounds of milk were pro-
duced at a cost of $5104 for feed,
while in herd No. 2, 5,4S2 pounds OF
milk wer produced at cost for feed
of $5521. The former made a profit
of $76.22 per COW, while the other
made a profit of only $S.65 per COW.
The more profitable herd was fed an
abundance of silage. while to the 9TH
er no silage was fed. This. of course,
is not the only reason for the differ.
ence; however, careful study of the
records of these herds indicated that
silage is very essential. The owner OF
the Improbable herd has been living
next to a man who had silo for a
number of years, yet he did not real
lie its usefulness until he saw these
| figures, after which he built a silo al
once.
