MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.-Property
damage in the City Of Mexico as the
result Of the warfare which has ragged
through the city's streets since General

at the head Of the rebel troops Sun

100000.
All industrial enterprises In the
city are demOralized. The damage to
commercial industries is appalling.
The loss Of life is estimated at above
5000, while the number of injured can
not be ascertained.
The red cross and white cross So
cieties today abandoned the work of
attempting to care for the injured be-
cause their flags were being continual

Ambassador Sends Protest.

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The state
department issued the following state
ment at midnight:
Ambassador Wilson telegraphed to
inquire whether anything could be
done to restrain Mr.. John Barretts
mischievous activity. He states that
Mr.. Barrett's utterances are being pub
lished in Mexico City and are pro-
ducing a bad effect on the situation,
which calls for anything rather than
sentimentality and amateur politics.
The ambassador adds that the Amer
lean colony at Mexico City resents Mr..
Barrett's utterances and protests
against them"
Mr.. Barrett, when the state depart
ment statement was called to his at
tention, made the following reply:
"This announcement from Mexico
astonishes me and | believe 1t must
be founded on a misconception OF my
suggestion for an international COM
mission and what inspired it. My only
purpose was informally and unofn-
cially to propose an alternative for
actual Intervention which would end
the hostilities in Mexico, protect the
lives of foreigners and adjust the
whole question in a peaceful way sat
isfactory to the United States, Mexico
and Latin-America.
'My suggestion, moreover, was maze
upon the request of many prominent
men who felt as did, and only was
to be acted upon in the event inter-
yention seemed inevitable"

Madero VIII Not Quit.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.-"I would
rather die than resign"
This reply was definitely sent by
President Francisco Madero today to
his advisors, and the members of the
senate who had spent most of the
night in an effort to induce him to alb
dicate and permit the election of a
new president, when renewed pressure
was brought upon him today in an
endeavor to get him to relinquish the
office.
The senators and members Of the
cabinet are holding another meeting

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.-2:15 p. m.
Francisco Mader0, this afternoon re-
fused the formal demand made upon
him by the Mexican senate, that he re-
sign the presidency Of the rebel
scourged republic and permit Of peace.
The committee of senators was
accompanied by Francisco De La Bar
ra, former minister from Mexico to
the United States, who had been Sc
lected as MaderO's successor.
Madero had intimated that if the
senate asked for his resignation he
would resign, but he positively re-
fused to do SO.
The meeting Of the president with
the delegation from the senate was
stormy one, but Madero, in spite of
all representations made to him held
firm in his purpose to ''die rather
than resign"

have ordered a carload of alfalfa With
out the slightest experimental knowl-
edge of feeding it. l have heard that
there is some danger, aud | suppose
that it Will be more economical to
feed it with some other cheap feed
anyway.
l. Is there much danger of feeding
dry alfalfa? That is over feeding?
3. Would the same danger exist in
giving one full feed, say either morn
ing or night, and something else at
the other feed?
3. Surprising balanced ration be
obtained, or nearly so, with other
hay, will there still be benefit from
feeding grain?
4. Surprising fairly good ration
of dry feed be made of alfalfa and
other hay or grain, will there be
much benefit from adding carrots, say
at $500 per ton, when alfalfa costs
SIG and the other from $40 to S12?
J. w. D. Chewelah, Wash.
Answer: l. We have experienced
no danger from feeding dry alfalfa,
and as rule we allow the COW to eat
as much as she will consume.
2. There will be no danger in
giving one full feed of alfalfa in the
morning and another feed Of som
other hay or gain in the evening, but
as a rule, we would prefer feeding
the mixture of grain with the hay
both morning aud evening and allow
ing the COW to eat the other rough
age, as for example, straw, if she
cares for it, during the day.
3. While alfalfa hay in itself is
practically a balanced ration for a
COW producing large amount of
milk, you will find that the COW does
not have the capacity for consuming
enough of this coarse material to
furnish the nutrients necessary for
milk production. In no case should
a COW be expected to do her best on
alfalfa hay alone. A liberal grain
ration must be allowed if the COW is
an average producer.
| 4. Relative to the feeding of car
rots or other root crops, will state
that these are fed not SO much for
the nutrients they contain as for the
beneficial effects on digestion. AS to
whether it would be pi oftable to feed
carrots at 800 per ton will depend
upon the prices of substitutes and
the value of the butterfat or milk. Ii
alfalfa costs SIG per ton it seems
that you could afford to feed carrots
at S7.O0.

what be the cause of the present con-

She is about five years old; she has
always been in good health; has been

GROUND WHEAT FOR DAIRY
COWS.

Question: l have Jersey heifer
three years old, fresh last April, that
is rapidly failing in her milk. l am
feeding all the clover and timothhy
hay mixed that she will eat and two
gallons of ground wheat day, also
about 10 pounds of rutabagaS. Is the
ground wheat too heavy, and should
it be mixed with other feed? She
does not eat good now. We began
feeding the wheat about three weeks
ago and she fell off right away. Il.
w. B. Snohomish, Wash.
Answer: 1t is probable that in this
case you are feeding too wide ration.
that is, there is a lack of protein.
Ground wheat does not produce milk
economically, nor is timothy hay
adapted for feeding to dairy COWS,
Since your clover and timothy is
mixed it may not be possible to OBJ
tain any other hay, and would
therefore change the ration as fol-
lows: Make a mixture Of bran and
oats equal parts, or bran and barley
equal parts, feeding one pound of
this mixture to three pounds of milk.
Ten pounds of rutabagas is perhaps
ample for one feed under average con-

ditions, but if she is high produc
ing COW she will consume as much as
20 pounds of roots to the feed If
you can secure any high protein feeds
such as proteina, or dried brewers
grains it would be we'll to feed one
pound of this at each feed in con-
nection with the other grain.
FEEDING CARROTS TO DAIRY
COWS.
Question: Can you advise me what
effect feeding carrots has on milk
COWS? e. G. L. LOOMS, Wash.
Answer: Carrots are good for
dairy COWS in that they produce the
desired succulence and also furnish
some nutrients We have found that
the more highly colored varieties
produce more highly colored milk
than do some of the other root crops.
AS rule, however, when selecting a
root crop we choose that variety
which will give the largest yield per
acre under local conditions, consider
ing also the cost of raising and the
paIatability.

NEW YORK. May Stocks re-

The Hartman Pacific shares were

The theory of professional attacks
on the general market was partially
qualified by foreign advices. It was
