THE FATE OF PRIVATE
1R0|B IN new MEXICO

Juarez, Mex, Feb, 24.-The muir
der for which Second Captain Juan
Azpieta, of the 62nd infantry battal-
ion, was tried before a general court
martial here, occurred on the even
ing of December 27, 1915.
Private David Troib, of New York
City, member of the 18th United
States infantry, was reported mis-
sing at retreat that night from his
outpost camp at the Ell Paso viaduct.
A search was started and his mutt
lated body was found opposite the
viaduct on the Mexican side of the
river. There was bullet hole
through his forehead and his face
was marked with long cuts and
scratches indicating that the body
had been dragged into the cactus
bushes beside the river road
The body was brought to Juarez,
a photograph made of 1t after the
Mexican custom and then delivered
to American military authorities for
shipment to his home in New York
City. The United States intelligence
department discovered a number of
eye-witnesses to the tragedy, one be-
ing a Mexican woman who was de-
tanned in Ell Paso until the court
martial trial was held. Another was
ia 16-year old soldier of the Juarez
garrison.
The trial attracted much attention
here and on the American side OF
the border because of the fact that
the penalty for murder committed
by member of the Mexican army
is execution by firing squad.

Milwaukee,, Feb. 24.--"What we
do to help Italy at this time should
be done in spirit not Of pity, but
of gratitude" said Prof. Charles Up
son Clark speaking on Italy's part in
the war before the members of the
City Club recently. "Wherever you
go in Italy," he added, you see
meteries-silent reminders that
100000 Italian boys gave up their
lives, not merely to keep Italy in
tact and independent, but to hold the
line until we could collect our forces
to take our place in that line.
''The battle of the Piave is the
symbol of our freedom from German
imperialism. 1t was about to leave

Strainer cloths containing 35O0O,OOC

found in use on dairy farms.
The average strainer cloth, of whicl
about SO square inches is in contact
with the milk, is likely to contain fully
a billion bacteria If it is not washed
and sterilized after each milking.
If the cloth is folded, the number of
bacteria is likely to be still greater.
Milk produced under conditions
where utensils were not sterile was
found to contain more than 666,OOO
bacteria per cubic centimeter.
When all utensils were sterilized.
the average bacterial count was only
about $1,000 per cubic centimeter or
less than one-twentieth as many.
Bacteria in milk are not necessarily
injurious to health, but they reduce its
keeping quality. Certain kinds of bac.
terra, if too numerous, also affect its
paatability. For the production Of
clean milk the department of agricul.
ture urges strict sanitation in every
dairy operation.
Utensils and strainer cloths should

SYSTEM OF CROP ROTATION
Successful Dairymen Will Have Ono
Market or Cash Crop Besides
Profit From Dairy.

The most successful dairSmen have
system of crop rotation that enables
them to have one market or cash crop,
besides the profit Of the dairy. The
Increased fertility that is brought on
to the farm from the use of cOncen-
lrated feed stuffs more than offsets
the amount of fertility removed by
the sale of the dairy products. An
other factor is that the same help
required to properly conduct a dairy
can find time outside Of the routine
dairy work to care for a profitable
market or cash crop.
