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.

Three or four days ago a woman passed out of the west gate of the city not far from here, carrying a baby in her arms. She had tried to beg, but both she and her baby were gradually etarving to death. She had tried to give the child away, but could find no one to take it, for it was young end weak and would almost surely die. She had made up her mind to expose it by the roadside among the grave mounds, but when it came to doing 60, her heart , failed her and she could not.

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. effort Must be macre to prevasTI drafts, therfore place the roosts near the back of the house, and except on real cold nights burlap coverings for doors and windows are enough.

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.

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.
