SCOTT GOES TO
 MEXICAN BORDER
Commander of U. 6. Forces
 Hurriedly Leaves Capital.
BELIEVED ON PEACE MISSION
No Announcement of His Purpose Will Inspect Troops on Frontier Expected to Confer With
 Villa and Possibly Carranxa.

washington.-Of the events that moved rapidly over the Mexican screen at the State Department the most striking was the hurried de. parture of Major General Scott, Chief Of Stan of the United States Army, fer the Mexican border Ion business of the State Department
 The ostensible mission of the ac- tual commander of the oountry's mill tary establishment is to compel the Carranza forces to vacate neutral territory along the border according along the border, according to agree ment Villa has respected this pact, but Carranza has broken it.
 It is more probable that Gen. Scott will assume direction of the 19,000 troops practically the mobile army at all points along the Mexican border.
 The actual purpose of his departure from Washington, however. is, as al ready indicated in these despatehes, to represent this country in the final effort 10 rescue 5000 000 inoffensive Mexicans from 150.00 revolutionaries.
 The instructions given the head of the army were of course, not made public. It is probable that he himself was not fully informed Of the Presi- dents ultimate purposes. The State Department. the War Department and Gen Scott himself on leaving for Chi. eago maintained silence regarding his mission
 That his departure has relation to the other events that for two hours engaged the attention of the American Secretary of State. three Ambassadors and three Ministers Plenipatentiarv of Latin-American countries there is lit tte room to doubt Yet as far as can be learned, Gen seotts mission was not discussed.
 There is a fixed belief in Washing ton that whether the Latin American countries invited by the President to cooperate with the United States In ending intolerable conditions in Mexi- co agree to act with him or decline to do so the United States will move decisively.

The tubercular COW is a menace to public health.
 If you expect a COW to produce reg ularly she must be fed regularly Kindness and regularity in handling dairy animals yield profitable returns. The cream separator is one of the necessities of the all round dairy farm.
 If YOU are manufacturing butter inc best way to sell it is to the special customer.
 If we cannot get the best COWS there are, let's get the best we can and then work for better.
 The yield and character of A dairy cows milk is directly influenced by the character of her surroundings. Begin this week to dig that pit silo. You will be So pleased With results that you will dig another one next year.
 The man who considers fOot-and- mouth disease lightly is the very one we would expect to light his pipe in a powder factory.
 It is not advisable to milk COWS be- fore ealying except very heavy milkers whose udders become so distended as to cause suffering.
 
 In handling hogs on the dairy farm the shorter the fattening period the. greater the profits. Remember this and feed accordingly.
 
 An important point to inquire about in buying a COW is the milking record of the sires dam and you must know what she eats and what she yields. Either alone is not sufficient.

PURE-BRED SIRES ARE BEST
Selection of Herd Bull Is of Greatest lmportance-Avoid Contagious
 Abortion and Tuberculosis.

Farmers everywhere are beginning to appreciate the need for pure-bred sires. In dairying the selection of the herd bull is of the greatest impor- tance because he is at least half the herd from the breeding point of view His influence on the characteristics of every calf born in the herd is as great AS that of the dam of the calf If he is 8 pure-bred animal used on grade COWS. his influence will be more than half because his transmitting powers in breed characteristics will be stronger.
 No bull whose dam and paternal grand-dam were not capable of pro duelng 300 pounds of butterfat in 365 days should be used for breeding pur- poses if good results are expected. It would be much better if this premium were set at $50. The prudent dairy man will select calf from COW which produced 400 pounds or more of butterfat.
 If the use of bulls from dams and paternal grand-dams producing less than 300 pounds of fat were prohibit ed by state law it would be a long step in advance. Much damage has been done by interruptions and ignor- ant breeders, who have sold, for breeding purposes and at low prices, pure-bred male calves from cows

 In getting bulls from other herds be sure that they are healthy It is especially important to avoid conta- gious abortion and tuberculosis.

HER INHERITANCE
BY FRANK F,Lson.

Little Miss Raymond read the letter
beside her plate and looked up In
da1ed way. 1t announced that sns
had fallen heir, most unexpectedly. to
the sum of 5000.
When one IL thirty years OF age
not prepossessing. and stenosrapnei
on SIS q week, the future does NOT
look very promising. Miss Raymond
had bought new suit that very week
She had almost decided to let 1t 80
back, although she knew that she
looked most attractive In 1t. But
now, of course, there would be many
suits and dresses.
Then the thought Of Philip Barton
struck home to her, and she hushed
guilty. and the mirage Of new dresses
suddenly disappeared.
Philip was her only friend In the
big city. He had lived In the same
rooming house for three years. and
they had been fast friends all that
time. He had confided to her that II
he had a certain sum he could start
q profitable undertaking in the manu-.
facture Of certain mechanical apph.
ance now made at a disproportionate.
ly high price by the firm which EN-.
ployed him at $40. And he had fixed
the exact sum at $1,000. Not that he
expected ever to have that amount.
But he had confided 1t to her as one
of those unrealizable dreams that
come to all Of US.
That was last Saturday night. For
. whole year they had dined out each
Saturday night together.
Philip was two years younger than
herself. A mere boy. she considered
him. She priced their friendship the
more because she realized that some
day love would come into his life.
Poor, tfmid little Miss Raymond! No
love had ever entered hers, though
she was overnowing with charity and
affection for all humanity. She was
the sort Of woman whom men seldom
apprixe at their true worth. When
