Soldiers' Hard lot la China.
The lot of the American troops in
China has been far from happy, ac
cording to the Tientsin correspondent
of the London Daily Mail. He says:
"There is a constant friction be
tween the troops of the allies, and al
ready there is a covert taking of sides
and getting Into line for the severance
which officers and men alike feel is
practically certain to come. The
Frenchmen, Germans, Russians, Aus
trians and Italians are gravitating to
gether, not so much because their in
terests are identical, but because of
their common jealousy and dislike of
England and the United States. Mean
while Japan sits on the fence. Fre
quent misunderstandings are resulting.
The soldiers of one nationality are be
ing killed or wounded by men of oth
ers. Numerous British, Americans,
and Sikhs are the principal sufferers,
chiefly at the hands of the French
sentries, who shoot on short notice.
These mishaps have resulted in
grudges and bitterness. One sore point
with the Americans was the shelling
of their men at long range by the
French troops in Pekin. No harm wa3
done, fortunately, but this does not
prevent the Americans from cursing
the French for a lot of stupid blun
derers. The Russians are also exe
crated for killing one American sol
dier and wounding another at Tang
Tsun by a shell which really seems to
have been fired by a British gun, but
John Bull is given the benefit of the
doubt Probably all this petty fric
tion, though irritating, may lead to
nothing more serious than cold looks
exchanged between officers of different
nationalities and between soldiers in
the crowded streets of Pekin and Tien
tsin. But some such trifle may pro
voke a spark and start an Internation
al conflagration of which no man can
foresee the quenching."
Attacks Army Trial System.
Frank P. Blair, the attorney em
ployed by O. M. Carter, the former en
gineer officer of the army who is im
prisoned at the Leavenworth peniten
tiary for misuse of public funds, has
made a spirited attack on the system
of military justice. In a brief, which
he has filed in connection with the at
tempt to secure Carter's release, he
says: "Less than three years ago
there were subject to trial by court
martial only 25,000 soldiers, all serving
within the borders of our forty-five
states and four territories. Now the
summary jurisdiction of these tribu
nals embraces some 10,000,000 people,
for the most part civilians of an alien
and partly subjected race. If we are to
believe the official reports of the com
manders in the Philippine islands as
published in the newspapers, men are
being executed for offenses scarcely or
not at all known to the civil law, with
out trial by jury, on the verdict of
from five to thirteen men, untrained
in the law, unskilled in weighing evi
dence, and on the mere approval of a
soldier in command of a military dis
trict It is precisely the same system
unimproved in a century and a half in
this country, long since abandoned in
the place of its birth, under which
Admiral Byng was shot to death, as
Voltaire said, 'to encourage the oth
ers.' The same system under which
Fitz John Porter was unjustly con
demned, a woman was hanged and Mil
ligan escaped only because our federal
Supreme Court staid the illegal sen
tence." General Otis,
The return to the United States of
Major General Otis, at his own re
quest, after more than two years of
arduous and most exacting service,car
ries with it a lesson, an admonition,
which it would be well for Americans
to need. General utis comes back a
successful man, with the peculiar credit
of having discharged with excellent
results duties without precedent in the
American military service, combining
a great amount of civil administration
with the actual conduct of a difficult
war and the solving of hard business
problems of transportation and sub
sistence. He has had to settle all sorts
of questions even religious ones. He
has met the test as all the world now
admits, with success, and on Ills re
turn will receive a loyal and patriotic
welcome from the whole people. Yet
throughout the gravest andmost try
Ins; part of his service, General Otis
was far from being held In general ap
probation. He was sharply criticised
in the press, blamed for the censorship
which he did not Institute, and charged
with Incompetence on account of the
very minuteness and industry with
which he discharged the almost end
less datles'of his office. The change
of sentiment with regard to General
I Otis, and the honor la which he is now
held, are certain proof of the unwls-
dom and injustice of condemning a
public servant when he Is attacked by
the press) before he has had a ehaace
to show whether or not he can do his
duty.

Shields for Bapid-Flre Goas
The board of ordnance and fortifica
tions held an important meeting in
Washington recently and decided that
the rapid fire guns of the seacoast de
fenses should be supplied with shields.
This action must be approved by the
secretary of war before it becomes
operative. The ordnance officers, the
engineers and some artillery officers
do not approve of shields. This is a
continuation of the contest between
the ordnance officers and engineers on
the one hand and the majority of the
members of the board of ordnance and
fortifications on the other relative to
disappearing gun carriages. In con
nection with the action at the meeting
there developed an interesting feature
of the proceedings of the board rela
tive to field artillery. It appears that
an agent of the department has come
into possession of what he asserts are
accurate plans for the new Frencn
field gun and these he offers to place at
the disposition of the board if he Is
permitted to undertake the construc
tion of a sample gun from the plans
at the cost of the government The
board decided to avail itself of the op
portunity to build the test gun and
made a recommendation to that effect
to the secretary of war.
Robber Heels for Soldiers.
Everyone knows that when soldiers
cross a bridge they are ordered to
break step, so that the regular vibra
tion of so many feet shall not endan
ger the safety of the structure. Now
an army surgeon of France has dis
covered that the brain jar due to long
marches, in regular step is trying on
the human frame as such marching is
on the structure of a bridge. To the
regular repetition of a shock to bones
and brain caused by this uniform and
long-continued marching are due the
peculiar aches, pains and illness of the
troops. On a one-day march, he says,
this shock is repeated 40,000 times, and
often the strongest men who can walk
the same distance without trouble
when not in line succumb to the strain
in two or three days. Therefore this
surgeon proposes as a remedy the use
of rubber heels. This device has been
tried in the French infantry with great
success.
Generals la the British Arssr.
The apparent anomaly of a major
general in the British army ranking
lower than a lieutenant-general Is eas
ily explained. In the olden days the
highest rank of general in the British
army was captain-general, next came
lieutenant-general and then sergeant-major-general.
When subsequently
certain changes were made in the des
ignation of ranks, the title captain was
dropped and the captain-general was
made a full general. The rank of lieutenant-general
was retained and the
title sergeant was dropped from the
third rank, it then becoming major
general. The relative rank of the three
grades of generals remained as before,
the lieutenant-general thus being su
perior to the major-general. In the
field a general would usually command
an army corps, a lieutenant-general
one division, and a major-general one
brigade.

Prof. H. H. Dean of Guelph. Can..
In aa address before the Vermont
Oairymen'a Association, said:
The cheese industry of Canada is a
result of the favorable natural condi
tions, and a reflection of the genius
and tastes of Canadian people. The
great lakes and inland rivers and
streams, together with a fertile soil
La most parts, making almost Ideal
conditions for manufacturing Ched
dar cheese. The descendants of
Scotch, English,. German, Dutch and
French settlers, together with a good
sprinkling of New Englaaders, have
Inherited the tastes and aptitudes of
their forefathers for making fine
cheese. The countries from which
t Canadians have sprung are among the
most noted cheesemakers in the world,
and their sons would be casting dis
credit upon their ancestry did they, not
make good the traditions of their
fathers.
In 1864 the system of co-operative
cheesemaking was Introduced to Can
ada from the state of New York. At
that time we were Importing cheese
for home consumption. At present we
export from $17,000,000 to $18,000,000
worth of cheese annually, or $3 worth
for every inhabitant of the country.
At this stage it may not be out of
place to compare the relative exports
of cheese from Canada' and the United
States. In 1864 Canada exported none;
In 1870 Canadian exports of cheese
were nearly 6,000,000 pounds. The
United States exports in 1870 were
nearly 60,000,000 pounds. In 1880
Canada had Increased her exports to
about 40,000.000 pounds, but the Unit
ed States had Increased theirs to 127,
500,000 pounds. From this time on
Canadian cheese exports have in
creased, while those from the United
States here steadily decreased. In
1890 American exports had dropped
to 95,000,000 pounds; In 1895 to 60,
000,000 and in 1898 to 46,000.000
pounds. Canada in 1898 exported 150,
000,000 pounds.
There are doubtless two main
causes of this decrease in exports of
United States cheese, viz: A rapidly
increasing home population which
consumed large quantities of cheese,
and laxity of laws relating to the
manufacture and sale of "skim" and
"filled" cheese. These two classes of
cheese have prejudiced the British
consumer against American goods and
has been favorable for the introduc
tion of "full cream" cheese from Can
ada. In Canada no "skim" or "flhed"
cheese is allowed to be made or sold.
The number of factories has in
creased from none in 1864 to about
j.000 in 1900.
This rapid growth is due, in addi
tion to causes mentioned, to:
L The fostering care of provincial
and Dominion governments.
2. The good work done by the vari
ous dairy associations in appointing
Inspectors and instructors, and in
spreading dairy knowledge among the
people.
3. The work of the dairy schools
In training cheesemakers to take
charge of the factories.
4. An improvement in buildings
and equipment though there Is still
room for improvement in this direc
tion. 5. The growth Is due to the fact
that the cheese Industry has paid.
Like Americans, Canadians are not
fond of a calling which does not pay
them. While there have been years
In which the business was not profit
able, yet, on the whole cheese has
paid as well as any branch of agricul
ture during the past thirty-five years.
There Is still room for improvement
in the class of cows kept on Canadian
farms, in the care of the milk, in the
methods of making and curing the
cheese; also in marketing the cheese
and dividing the profits among all
classes concerned. At present there
Is not true co-operation, but each class
endeavors to get all out of the busi
ness which Is possible for them, re
gardless of consequences to the others.
A more hearty co-operation, together
with less selfishness, would promote
the growth of the cheese Industry in
Canada.
Dairy Botes.
A dairyman says that milk should
never be taken to the factory or
creamery in a springless wagon, as
the result will be the churning of the
milk and cream, which then becomes
less available for the making of first
class butter by the creamery butter
maker. e e
The aeration of milk is coming to
be one of the essentials of good dairy
ing. In many parts of the world it
seems to have been demonstrated that
milk properly aerated will give a better-flavored
butter product than will
milk not so aerated. In Europe and
in the most progressive dairy sections
of this country the practice has be
come popular. Recently a creamery
board of trade passed a resolution to
the effect that their creameries should
in the future pay 5 cents per hundred
pounds more for milk aerated than un-
aerated. But while aeration is 'advis
able, it must be done in the proper
place and under proper conditions.
The place for aeration Is not in the
barn or in the barnyard or in the cel
lar. It must be In the pure air and
where there are no odors that will
get into and injure the milk.
Feedtac la Nebraska,
In a recent experiment, eight lots of
lambs were fed. Alfalfa and prairie
hay were used as roughness, four lots
being fed .on each. Seven lots had a
protected yard and a shed for shelter.
Lot 8 had only an open yard with no
shed for shelter. The lambs weighed
an average of SO pounds when the ex
periment commenced on November 26.
1899, and sold in Omaha 100 days later!
weigmng an average of 78 pounds.
Four different grain rations were fed
to the four lots on prairie hay and
three grain rations to the four lots on
alfalfa hay.
Lot 1, on alfalfa hty and corn, gain
ed 33 pounds in 100 days and paid a
profit of $2.05 per lamb.
Lot 2, on alfalfa hay and a arain
ration of. three-fourths corn and one
fourth oats, gained 32 pounds In 100
days, and gave a profit of 1L98 per
lamb.
Lot S, on alfalfa hay and a grain
retion of three-fourths corn and one
fourth bran,- made a gain of SO pounds
each, aad gave a profit of 11.90 ner

Lot S was fed in an open yard with

Counting all losses aad all expenses
against the sheep fed. they made an
average profit of $1.60 per lamb. The
alfalfa hay fed lambs consumed 1.34

each per day, against .88 pounds of
hay and .89 pounds of grain consumed
by the prairie hay fed lambs. The al
falfa hay fed lambs on different grain
rations made 52 per cent greater gains
than the lambs fed prairie hay aad

A bird that has been sick is not
fit to be a breeder, for it is a waste
of time to build on weak constitutions.
In buying birds look after the same
point, and be sure that the man from
whom you buy has good healthy
stock.
e e e
A fowl that has been sick should
never be used as a breeder. For this
reason fowls that get over any trou
ble should never again be put back
with the flock if the eggs from the
flock are to be used for hatching pur
poses. This shows the necessity for
a breeding pen, which should always
be selected from fowls that are per
fectly healthy.
see
It Is said that as poultry raisers
women often succeed where men fail,
especially if the work is to be carried
on on a small scale. This is account
ed for by the fact that women are ac
customed to fight dirt, and dirt is one
of the things that makes poultry keep
ing a doubtful venture. Then, too,
women can more easily adapt them
selves to the task . of looking after
small details than can men.
see
Which breed is the best? Is a ques
tion that cannot be answered oft-hand.
The public may esteem one breed of
fowls more than another, but that is
no proof that the breed so esteemed
is the best or is at all superior to some
breeds that are not popular. The fact
is that advertising a breed both in the
newspapers and m the show rooms
tends to keep it in the public eye and
to convince the casual observer that
it has about it something that other
breeds do not The wise buyer will
pay no attention to fame that has
been obtained by advertising only, but
will pick out his breed according to
what it can actually do.

According to one writer on poultry,
pulverized charcoal is a fine thing for
turkeys. He tells about two pens of
turkeys of four birds each. One pen
was fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. The other pen was fed the same
way with the addition that they had
a pint of finely pulverized charcoal
mixed with their feed. They had also
a plentiful supply of broken charcoal
in their pen. The eight were killed
on the same day, and the ones that
had the charcoal weighed one and a
half pounds more each than the ones
that bad no charcoal. This is im
portant if the birds were of equal
weight when they were put into the
pens or if the differences of weight
were taken into consideration at the
time they were killed.
Sheep Itei
Wyoming flock masters have decided
to feed corn in small quantities on the
range in bad weather, considering it a
cheap insurance against loss for want
of food.
In South America the breeding of
mutton sheep has increased until now

Sheep breeders who migrate from
Wisconsin with their flocks to South
Dakota, state that sheep do astonish

It is said that buying sheep by weight
is becoming popular with Western
stockmen. That is the way they are
sold, and when purchased on that basis
the feeder knows Just what he is get

J. C. Mills, the live-stock agent of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, says that Oregon has this
year the largest crop of, lambs and of
the best -quality in the history of the
state. There are probably 100,000
lambs that are for sale, though feed
is abundant and growers can afford to
keep them if buyers stay away.

Western exchanges say that Utah
will send large consignments of sheep
to market this fall. The lambing sea
son in that state is said to have been
very profitable, the percentage run
ning up to 90 in Utah county. Sheep
men have been allowed to use the
Uintah reservation grazing lands this
year for the first time.

Tim Kinney, recognized as he sheep
king of Wyoming, recently sold 90,
000 head of sheep and 36,000 head of
Iambs. Mr. Kinney is the largest indi
vidual holder of sheep in the country,
and he increases his herds year to
year. The recent large sales are said
to have been the result of shortage of
feed on the range in this section.
