CIRCULAR LETTER TO THE MILK
TESTERS, AND CHELSE AND
BUTTERMAKERS.
DEPARTMENT OF Atcf11C'l-I.TURE
OFFICE OR TI11•: DAIRY ANI)
COLD STORAGE COM-
MISSIONER.
Dear Sire ---At the beginning of an-
other season of milk production, it L. de-
sired to remind you of the great im-
portance of getting your patrons to take
up cow testing.
1t is quite expected tint all the old
members of association" will continue,
but there are probably very many more
who would take it up if you. recommend
the plan to them as etrougiy as you pos-
sibly can.
With the commencement of cow test-
ing comes more milk per mow, which
is a. great gain to the patron; for some
men are now receiving twice as much
Meow, per cow es they were four years
ago. There comes, also, the opportunity
for you to make a substantial addition
to your income every month through
doing the testing. 'aa this Department
pays five cents for every test and sup-
plies the acid.
The probable gain to tine factory is
very important. Bore milk from H the
sante territory means leaver cost both
of hauling and making, besides a longer
factory season. Then as •meinbers be-
come better dairymen there is improve-
ment in the care of milk which means
easier work in the factory and a bet-
ter product. •
Will you, therefore, do your very best
in assisting to extent this cow testing
movement':
As soon as you have seen your pat-
rons, please write what the prospects
are, when this Department, will be glad.
to help yea in every way possible. Yours
very truly, Chas. F. Whitley, in charge
of )airy Records. 3. A. Ruddick, Com-
mieisioner.

New York, March 13.---A herald table
from Limiest says: Hugh ltranklin, who
was imprisoned in : December last for
attaching Mr. 'Winston Churvlrill, the'
TimmSeeretaty, in a train with a clog
whip, will be brought before a tnagis•
trate to -day for throwing a stone at the
Home Secretary's residence, 33 Rede-
eton square, ass a protest against the
treatm8ent of a friend of his, Alfred Als-
bel, who was isnnrisoned for sealing the
SOLD LAST CORN.
But they were a united family and
could not resign themselves to the part-
ing. So the father spoke up and ;said:
"" a have still a few stalks of corn left;
let us take them to the city and sell
theift for a few cash. Perhaps that will
keep us alive till the relief committee
makes its distribution; but, if die we
must, let us die together." The son
aecording carried the corn stalks to the
eity and received in return 200 eash
(eight cents, gold), with which he bought
a little food, But, as you know, the
bank has been slow in getting the cop-
per coins to us, and it has not been
possible to make our first distribution
of 100 cash per person, which could have
kept them alive for a few days longer,
and yesterday the members of the gen-
try, in telling me the story, reported
the entire family ,as dead. With all its
sadness, it is refreshing to hear this ac-
count, for wives and, children over ten
are being daily sold ns slaves, and not
only is it not .considered wrong to buy
them, bat he who does so is looked upon
as benefactor.

She had tried to give the child away,
but could find no one to take it, for it

surely die. She had made up her mind
to expose it by the roadside among the
grave mounds, but when it came to doing

Anyway, whatever breed you select,
the big part of chicken raising comes af-
terwards. For the novice it would be
best if be starts small. Every expert
poultry raiser will preach that to you
day acrd night. And there's a reason.
You mutt get practical experience, must
have your failures and successes before
you can think of making money on x
large chicken farm.
One other thing to remember is when
you start with a particular breed stick
to that breed. if they don't coma up is
snuff as layers, change the strain, but
keep to the breed of which you hove al-
ready learned something. More will be
:Relit about layers in later articles.
Before you get the chickens get the
house for thein to live in. The size of
that depends altogether upon the size
of the flock you will want to keep, and
upon the spare at your disposal.
The main tbnigs to be remembered in
building chicken houses are these: lb :y
must be dry. well -ventilated, both win-
ter anti summer, and room enough for
each fowl; roosts need. not be more than
15 inches from the floor; plenty of Hee
is also necessary.

the back of the house, and except on
real cold nights burlap coverings for

MEXLCAN REBELS
ROUTED IN BATTLE
Heavy Losses on Both Sides in Fight
at Cases Grandes.
Insurgents Lost Three Machines,
Guns, Horses, Etc.
El Paso, ']'eras, iQaxelt 13. --The battle
fought at Casae Grandes en Monday, in
which the force under Madero was rout-
ed by the federal troops under Col. Cuel-
lar, lasted the greater part of the day,
with heavy casualties on both sides, ac-
cording to a military man who claims
to have seen the-engagement.'The for-
ces engaged on each side is said to have
been. six,, hundred. Madero's men are
said to have succeeded in reaching the
outskirts of the town, where they open-
ed' a heavy fire on the garrison. While
a portion of his force held the insurrec-
toe in cheek, Caulla? led the remainder
of his force in a flank movement that
placed the insurreetos under a arose fire.
Madero received a small reinforce-
ment; during the engagement and was
able to holdd..hia,ypoea,tion until darkness
fell, when he, succeeded in .withdrawing
his men under a hoary fire from ma-
chine guns.
Madero is said to have lost three
machine guns, a large quantity of am-
munition and many horses.
It is said Madero was able to rally
but four hundred of his nix hundred men
in the retreat. He is reported retiring
toward Conora.
E1 Taco, 'Tens. ,March 9.—F. 1. Madero
and his army of six hundred rebels were
routed at Cases Grandes Monday with
heavy lessee on both sides, according
to the statement of Americane who ar-
rived here early to -day. They said
they were wltnessee of the battle.
FRANCE' INTERESTED.
Paris, March 13. ---The ofifcials of the
Foreign Office to -day informed the Can-
adian 'I'rese9 that the French Government
haat made no reorese!rtatione to the
United States regarding the protection
of French intereste in Mexico.
News of the American activity wee
received with extraordinary interest by
the Foreign Office, where, in the ats-
sence of special adviees from Washing-
ton on the subject, it is aasnined that
the reasons for the step taken was wacki-
ly sufficient.
Local financial interests are somewhat
concerned regarding events in Mexico.
where it is roughly estimated, this caste.
try has $100,000,000 invested.
The explanation of the latest dev,lion
ment current on the Bourse is that the
United States Government has in grind
the ultimate possibility of being requir-
ed to protect the immense American in-
terests in Mexico, which might be irn-
,perilled in consequence of the death o`
President Diaz, by widespread disorth's s
in that country.
JUST A MANOEUVRE.
Washington, Mar. 13. --President Teft
to -day assured Mr. De sea Barra, tits
Mexican. Ambassador to the United
States, that the statement issued in USA -
leo City last night through the Auu+r•i-
can Embassy accurately presented. the,
attitude of the U. S. Government to
sending 20,000 troops to Texas. He told
Mr. De La Barra that troops were there-
for
erefor manoeuvres, and that there welt
nothing in the movement that should.
excite alarm or unusual interest.

Winnipeg, March 13.—The conference•

The increase is effective on. ail Vince

nature .have meantime been made. The
new arrangement is specially ebenefioail.

they are on heavier trains, which are
