Feeding the DARN COlU.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-A good rule to follow in feed
ing dairy cows is to allow them what
roughage they care for and give in ad-
dltlon one pound of grain for every 81
or pounds of milk produced. The
natural wants of the body are first
cared for by dairy cattle and the
amount of feed necessary to provide
bodily nourishment is first taken for
that purpose. The surplus, if there is
any, will be used in the manufacture
OF milk. Thus it is plain that dairy
men cheat themselves and not the
cows by putting them on part rations.
In order to produce the milk most
economically it is necessary that the
cows be fed fairly well balanced ra-
lions. By balanced rations is meant
one part of protein to 81 parts carbo-
hydrate. If the ration has more than
this amount of protein it is usually too

Senate Adopts Resolution;
Sent to House for Approval

Washington, April 22.-The senate
at 81 o'clock this morning by vote
of z to 13 adopted the "administra-
ton" resolution declaring that ''the
President is justified in the employ
ment of the armed forces of the Unit
ed States to enforce his demand for
unequivocal amends for the affronts
and indignities committed against the
United States in Mexico.
The final vote came at the close of
a stirring all-night session, marked by
bitter discussion.
Several Republicans fought to the
last to broaden the resolution, so as to
direct it against all indignities offered
the United States in Mexico, while
other opposed it. All of the Is mega
tive votes were cast by Republicans.
AS adopted, the measure is a sub
stitute reported by the senate foreign
relations committee for the resolution
adpoted by the house Monday. 1t
eliminates the name Victoriano HUI
erta Administration leaders are con-
fident the house will accept the substi-
tute, virtually without debate.

given by the COW. The amount of
1000 given is best ascertained by
weighing, as feeds do not weigh the
same. In feeding by measurement, as
Dy the gallon, accuracy is not reached,
inasmuch as one kind of feed may
weigh 3 pounds while another kind
VIII weigh 5 pounds, to the gallon.
The feed is conveniently given by
using some sort of feeding cart, from
which scales may be hung, and which
can be pushed along in front of the
cows in the barn, The rations can
then be weighed and feeding opera
lions performed in few minutes.
One of the serious faults with ra-
lions fed to dairy cows is the lack of
succulent foods, such as silage, kale,
turnips, mangels, sugar beets, and
other green feeds. These succulent
feeds in the rations help to keep the
digestive organs in condition, increase
the appetite and stimulate the flow Of
milk.

Pride of Mexicans Hurt
BIZ Fall of Vera Cruz

Ell Paso, Texas, April 22.-The bus
iness-like expedition with which the
Americans took Vera Cruz, the gate
way to the capital of their country,
was severe blow to the pride of Mex
leans in this city, their detection
showing plainly in their faces.
In the offices of the rebel junta Off
Gals declined to accept the official
statements from Washington that the
big Mexican seaport had been evacu-
ated until bulletin after bulletin finally
drove the truth home.
Two hundred Mexican-Americans,
who organized military company
here year ago, met tonight and voted
to offer their services in case of need
to the National government in case
of war with Mexico.

President Asks Approval of
"Mensures Short of War;

Washington, D. c., April 20.-The
Mexican crisis today awaited Pres;.
dent Wilson's presentation of the stu.
alton to congress.
House and senate leaders were early
at the White House to learn the de.
tails of the Presidents plans so thew
might prepare the necessary resolu-
tions putting congress squarely behind
the President and giving him full au.
thority to act. While the President 8
plans were not officially disclosed. it
was conceded in official circles that he
would ask congress to authorize what
are known in international law as
measures short of war;" which,
while not being declaration of war
on the part of the United States.
might be so construed by Huerta.
According to best-informed officials
these would consist of the following:
Seizure of the ports of Tampico
and Vera Cruz.
2-Seizure of the Mexican gunboats
in those waters.
3-Seizure of the railroad from Vera
Cruz to the Mexican capital to point
including trestle 20 miles west of
Vera Cruz, to prevent the route to the
Mexican capital being blocked.
4-Probably request for a special
appropriation to carry out these meas
ures. The latter point, however, was
not definite.
Rear Admiral Badgers ships will be
at Tampico, early Wednesday, accord
ing to latest calculations.
Secretary Bryan left his early con-
ference with the President, saying the
situation was unchanged, that no new
dispatches had been received and that
nothing but complete backdown by
Huerta could stop the Washington gov
ernment's plan of action.
The attitude of Carranza and Villa,
the secretary said, he considered very
favorable, and did not expect any COM
plicating developments from that
phase of the situation.
The general comment among con-
gressmen was in hearty support of the
President and the possibilities of &C
ton. Some, however, dissented from
the Presidents plan. Republican
Leader Mann, of the house, has issued
statement saying he is not in SYM
pathy with the movement, and Senator
Bristow commented adversely on the
administration attitude.
According to official advices, Ameri-
cans in Mexico are already beginning
to leave. Officials understood that
hundreds of Americans left Mexico
City yesterday for Vera Cruz.
The State Department, through
O'Shaughnessy and by direct messages
from Bryan to American consuls
throughout Mexico, has warned all
Americans to leave.
Such protection as the United States
has undertaken to extend to foreigners
will not be afforded.

Federal Troops Leave
Border City in Ruins

Laredo, Tex, April 25.-Nuevo Lar
edo, the thriving Mexican border
town, opposite here, is in ruins, devas-
tated by dynamite and fire by Mexican
federal soldiers, who late Saturday be-
gan an orgy of destruction which did
not end until they were forced to flee
before the guns of the American bor-
der patrol.
Two Mexicans are known to have
been killed by United States troops
and several were seen to fall when
machine gun platoon at Fort Mcintosh
got into action. Several brisk skirm-
ishes between the Americans and Mex
leans were fought, as the Mexicans,
their troop trains ready to pull out of
the burning city, began an indiscrim-
mate fire across the international
boundary. There was no evidence
that their shooting had been effective.
Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will rearch $780, 900. Among the
buildings destroyed were the United
States consulate, municipal building,
postoffice, theater, the -four mill, one
of the largest in this section of the
Southwest; railroad shops of the Ma
tional railway and other smaller struc-
lures.
The fire was left burning by the
fleeing Mexicans, with no chance that
it would be controlled until everything
inf1ammable had been consumed.
Kerosene and other combustibles, lib
orally used, added to the wreckage,
which otherwise would not have been
great, owing to the adobe construction
largely used.
There was no loss on the American
side. Both international bridges are
safe, although efforts to dynamite
these resulted in the death of two men
engaged in the undertaking. One
Mexican was shot by a sharpshooter
from the top of the water tower. The
Mexican was trying to reach the end
of the international foot and wagon
bridge. Another was killed when he
tried to blow up the American railroad
bridge.

Dimes In Ell PasO.

Fl Paso, Tex, April 24.-General
francisco Villa, head of the rebel mil.
itarv forces, informed George C. Car.
otbers, special agent of the State de.
nartment, that he would decline to be
dragged into war with the United
States by anybody.
why" he smiled, as he threw an
orro about the broad shoulders of the
government representative, call Eu-
Tone would laugh at US if we went to
war with you. They would say that
tbe little drunkard Huerta has drawn
them into tangle at last. F"
Villa said he was not consulted in
the drafting of the Carranza note to
Rrvan, which was somewhat hostile
in tone.
The rebel leader told Carothers, who
renorted the interview to the State de-
nartment, that one of the chief rea-
sons that he came to Juarez was to
show the American people that his at
tjtude was friendly and that he did not
fear to trust himself on the border
without a military force behind him.
Carothers took supper with Villa
and canvassed the situation thorough
" while doing Juice to an American
meal of salad, beef and potatoes.
Honest" said the rebel general
between mouthfuls, II hope the Amer
leans bottle up Vera Cruz so tight
they can't even get water into it..
Your admiral is doing something it
would have taken us long time to &C
complish, if we could have accomplish
ed it at all. +"
The general brought with him 100
woven rugs of the softest lambs wool
as a present for General Scott, who
recently left Fort Bliss to become as
sistant chief of staff at Washington.
Carothers promised to forward them
along with Villas congratulations to
the recipient of the promotion.
Villa said he had arranged with all
foreigners except Spaniards to ship
out their cotton from Torreon on pay
ing a war tax, to which the foreigners
had agreed. He said that Spanish cot
ton was not included in the arrange
ment, having been confscated. There
are $4,000 bales there, valued at
$3.50, 900.
General Villa was supposed to be
bringing a personal escort of 200 men,
but to avoid provocative appearances
the General left most of them behind
at chihuahua and appeared with only
Is or 80 of his followers. On his ar
rival he remarked: "What does the
United States want to pay any atten-
ton to that drunken old ass, Huerta,

totaler. +R

Vera Cruz, April 25.-Twelve Amer

are being held at Cordoba or Orizaba,
on the line Of the Mexican railway be-
tween here and the capital, four of
whom at least are threatened with ex-

-Four of the Americans were taken
from train on the Vera Cruz Isthmus
line at TERRA Blanca and further
along at Motzolonga station three
other Americans and an Englishman
were seized. Those captured at
TERRA Blanca are w. A. Mangan,
superintendent of the railroad; Engi-
neer Elliott and Conductors Riley and
Hart.
At Motzolonga, Edward Weunch, his
son, Sidney; A. M. Thomas and Mr..
Boyd, an Englishman, were arrested
by the federals.
The names of five more Americans.
arrested by Major Panucci Martinez
and added to those whom he previously
had taken to Cordoba reached here to-
night. These men.were taken few
miles out of Vera Cruz from train.
The news of the capture was brought
to Vera Cruz by newsboy. Major
Martinez took them to TERRA Blanca
and thence to Cordoba.
The men are w. B. Wofford, of
Georgia; F. w. Lehmer, of Omaha;
w. D. Bedford, of Michigan; w. C.
Disbrow, of New York; and James
Blicher, of Buffalo. All these men
are interested in agriculture in the
section where they were arreted.
The belief that the federals intend
ed to execute at least four of the pris-
oners was gained from the converse
ton of the soldiers who captured
them, which was overheard by passen-
gers on the train. The prisoners were
taken to Cordoba and it is believed
later were transferred to Orizaba, a
point nearer the capital.
Eighteen Americans are still in

APRIL Is WAR MONTH IN

the history of the United States. Four
of this nations great wars, and four
smaller ones, have begun in April.
The revolt of the colonies began on
April 10, ITS. The war with Mexico
started on April "a, 1916. Hostilities
in the Civil war broke out on April IL,
1861, with the firing on Fort Sumpter.
The Spanish-American war began on
April FL, 1898.
Of the lesser wars, the Black Hawk
Indian war, the Apache, Navajo and

Of course it must be remembered
that each cow is separate Individual
and that all cows cannot be fed alike
any more than can group of men.
Successful dairymen will watch each
cow closely and learn to feed her to
the best advantage. Some cows will
increase their flow of milk when the
ration is increased. Others will not
or if they do so it will be at too great
cost. The COW should be kept in
good flesh, but there is no advantage
in fattening the COW during her milk
ing period.
Strict regularity should be observed
in feeding, since the COW is a creature
Of habit. If the feeding time is de-
layed the process of milk manufacture
is interrupted and the flow is
lessened. Feeding should be attended
to in such way that the cows will

expensive. If it has less it fails to
produce the desired results. This pro-
TEN should be furnised in the form
most satisfactory to the cow and most
economical to the owner. Otherwise
the food materials will not be fully
used in the making Of milk, or if they
are, the cost will be too great.
1t is thus seen that the main feeding
problem of the dairyman is to provide
feed that meets this requirement.
Where he has variety of materials to
select from it is difficult if not impos-
sible to make the right selection with
out a general knowledge of the food
content of each element of the ration.
The following table including many of
the important feeding stuffs produced
in the Northwest will serve as a guide
to the intelligent dairyman in making
up his feeding rations:

get the greatest possible satisfaction
from these events.
Cows that give large quantities of
milk need large amounts of pure,
fresh water each day. The milk itself
contains a great deal Of water and the
process of digesting and assimilating
the feed require other large amounts.
Cows as rule drink from 60 to 80
pounds of water each day, while those
giving large quantities of milk have
drunk as much as 270 pounds in day.
Water should come from a spring or a
deep we'll. Ponds that receive drain
age are especially unfit for use.
Cows also need large amount Of
salt. They should have about an
ounce each day. The salt may be CIV
en- with the feed or rock salt may be
placed where they may get it as their
appetite calls for it. Experiments
have shown that where salt is not fed
cows begin to lose their vitality, their
hair becomes rough and they finally
