the British charged and the American
militia broke and fled. The sailors
and marines alone disdained to re-
treat. They put up a resolute resist
ance and were overcome by numbers.
The president and his cabinet were
at Blandensburg when the British
approached, but returned to the city
when the conflict began, and narrow
ly escaped capture.
AS soon as the British entered
Washington they began their work of
destruction. The congressional lib
rary, with many valuable historical
documents, was destroyed, and an
attempt was made to burn the capi-
tel. The torch was also applied to
the White House, the treasury and
the war and state departments, and
before the British evacuated the city
and the flames were extinguished,
property valued at $2,000,000 had been
destroyed, and in addition many Am
erlcans had been killed and wound
ed. The black mark which the raid
left on Washington came very near
to ending its career as the capital
of the United States, and it required
all President Madisons influence to
prevent the seat of government being
removed to some place less resembling
struggling village that had been
visited by conflagration.
When the world heard of the sack
OF Washington it denounced it as ex-
oeeding the limits of decent warfare
Nevertheless the British government
honored General Ross by permitting
his family to add "of Blandensburg'
to their patronymic. Most British his
torians have attempted to excuse the
vandalism by stating that the acts
we're in retaliation for the depreda-
tons committed by the Americans
oiOhS bhC Sdhuuidh bOiuCly PAL ly
in the towns and villages in the vic
Unity of Niagara Falls. Others have
sta ted that the British soldiers were
incensed because of the attempt made
by citizen of Washington to kill
General Ross, whose life was saved at
the expense of his horse.
After applying the torch to Wash
ngton the British beat hurried re-
trest and during the next month es-
3ayed to capture Baltimore. They
we're defeated September 13, and Ross |
Y as slain. 1t was while these opera
ions against Baltimore we're in pro-
sress that Francis Scott Key wrote |
he words of the "Star Spangled Ban
Ter" which set to the melody of an !
I'D English drinking song, has be-
,ome what is generally called the

new MEXICO WILL
BE A DAIRY
STATE
THE GROWTH OF INTEREST IN
MlLCH CATTLE is EN-
cOURAGlNG

Albuquerque, Aug. 24.-That New
Mexico is to become one of the chief
dairy farming states of the union is
the confident prediction of President
Ralph C. Ely of the state fair COM
mission, himself practical dairyman
and owner of herd of pure blooded
Jerseys on his farm near Deming.
The state fair commission has been
pushing the organization of the New
Mexico dairymen's association. A
secretary has been employed whose
entire duty is confined to organiza-
tiontion work and the encouragement
of cooperation in the expense of
breeding up the dairy herds of the
various farming districts.
Information being gathered by the
association, for presentation to a
state dairymen's convention, to be
held in Albuquerque Octobc. $40
during the state fair contain1 some
interesting facts about the develop
ment of the dairy industry IN TIE
state during the past five years, at
which time there was one creamery
in New Mexico; a small plant which
confined itself to supplying a small
part of the local demand AS against
a production of creamery butter of
practically nothing five years ago,
New Mexico creameries in the 1913
1914 year, to July l, paid to farmers
and dairy farmers, for cream or but
ter fat an average of $4,000 a week,
or approximately 100000. Ell Paso
hotels alone use from 700 to 800
pounds of New Mexico creamery but
ter each week. The Harvey system
uses several hundred pounds each
week, and the requirements of that
system are very high. Large quanti-
ties of butter are being shipped to
west Texas, Trinidad and La Junta,
and into the mining camps Of south
ern Arizona.
Only New Mexico owned dairy
herds will be permitted to share in
the prize money at the state fair ex-
htbit of dairy cattle this year, but
the commission is encouraging breed
ers of high grade dairy stuff from
other states to bring in their stock
and is offering every advantage for
sale OF such stock The result will |
be an unusually large exhibit of dairy
cattle and this will be used in a Sc
ries of practical lectures on dairying
and breeding by well known experts.
The dairy farmer, active or prospec-
tive, in fact will be given thorough
short course in the industry, from the
breeding to the finished creamery
product. The Albuquerque creamery,
D thoroughly modern plant of large
just completed, will be open
ed to the dairymen and the lectures
there will have to do with butter fat
values, shipping, cream testing and
other practical details of the business
which will be of value to the producer
Of butter fat.
The theory of the fair commission
is that all conditions in New Mexico
being favorable to dairy farming, and
he native people being primarily a
pastoral people, the commission can
DO nothing more profitable than to
encourage dairying on large scale.
rhe average Mexican farmer of the
state has small tract Of land which
yields him bare living. Figures
