MEXICO'S WEALTHIEST MAN
Not unlike the mighty estates of
the old patroons, who used to own tre
mendous tracts of land around New
York and whose sway was more pow-
U erful than that of the most puissant
ml feudal baron in Europe, is that of
jGen. Don Luis Terrazas, "boss" of the
vPLoMfet. US® state of Chihuahua, owner of more
than half the land Included within its
Haf%| wide boundaries and the richest man
isl\ ln Mexico. His wealth is estimated
w- / -"ti vlt. wvrt'V not ' ess *' lan $25,000,000 gold and
Vm?/ \\wr\' v / many estimate It much higher. Ter
razas is of interest at this time, for
V many people are saying that he and
llis Koni "' law . Enrique Creel, are re
sponsible for the rebellion ln Mexico.
112% Vfc'} V.Gen. Don Luis Terrazas has lived
|w\ ull Ills life in Chihuahua. His parents
'iivv.wvK f.7' S• Y V'/I/M/. were small landowners before the in-
W JJO/i 4T i ) \////// vasion of Mexico by the French.
wmfrmß fsAjfi fk { V ffi'J/t' / mllll/l/il Ilen Mexico began to try for free
- nilffffff/f dom from the foreign invaders Ter
i 'iMtilftr \ fl r III 1 (111 raZ as, then a young man without in
fluence, starting with a small body of
valiant followers, built up a force sufficient to drive the French out of the
northern part of Mexico. Later when the French were defeated ln the south
and the empire overthrown with the death of' Maximilian, Terrazas took
charge of the portion of Mexico now comprised by the state of Chihuahua.
Later came Diaz, and Terrazas lent his aid in subduing and forming
the republic, receiving his reward "to have and to hold" the state of Chi
huahua. Nominally he was elected governor. Really he was made the boss
of the state, and while he has not held office as governor continually he has
dictated the election of every one who has been chosen and mostly the mantle
has fallen on the shoulders of some member of his own family. Therein lies
the cause of the present rebellion. Citizens of Chihuahua who have taken up
arms against the present government declare that Terrazas and his clan
have gobbled Chihuahua; that they can only live there now as peons; that
those in power are growing richer and richer every day, while the common
people are growing poorer and poorer.
Short of stature, weazened and wrinkled, with his short, white beard and
his Mexican cowboy dress, he walks the streets of Chihuahua today in spite
of his seventy-eight years, calmly collectiing his 12 per cent, and apparently
unadvised that there is a rebellion in his realm which threatens to strip
him of the power he has wielded for more than 30 years.

SHORTHORNS POSSESS MANY
EXCELLENT DAIRY QUALITIES
English Breeder Developed Milk Producing Strain and 1
His Cows Were W«I1 Known All Over
England for Their Superiority.
■ 1 ■
Prom tho very origin of the breed
Shorthorns have had two Qualities to
commend them to favorable considera
tion, and it is this dual capacity of
beef and milk production that has
made them so popular with farmers
and stockmen. As beef producers
Shorthorns are "known of all men;"
but their dairy qualities, though ex
cellent when properly developed, are
not so generally understood. The ear
ly history of the breed furnishes
many instances of cows that were
great milk producers, says tho North
western Agriculturist.
One of the earliest breeders to de
velop milk production in his herd
was Jonas Whittaker, and, as a re
sult, his cows were known all over
England for their excellent dairy
A Prize Winning Youngster.
qualities. Even in the herds of the
Booths, where beef form and fleshing
quality was the first consideration,
cows of heavy milk production were
developed. Sir Charles Knightley
had a tribe known as the Fawsley
Flllpails that did much to establish
the fame of Shrothorn cows as excel
lent at the pall. The herd of Thomas
Bates was established about the year
1800 and soon became the most
noted in England.
This herd was carefully bred for
WATER FOR I
DAIRY COWS
Important Thut tho Three or More
Gallons Given to Animals Dally

Dexrees F.
It is very Important that the water
drunk by the cows giving three or
more gallons of milk daily be warmed
to about 60 degrees F. Otherwise the
cows will not drink a.s much as they
need to keep up a good milk flow. It
does not take much ice water to chill
a thin-fleslied cow through and through
on a cold winter day, especially when
she is compelled to walk some dis
tance through the snow or a cutting
wind to get to the tank or pond. Ex
periments made at the Missouri state
experimental station show that drink
ing water is needed in proportion to
the milk yield. That Is, a cow giv
ing six gallons of milk a day needs
about twice as much water as a cow
giving three gallons a day. If the wa-

beef form and Boon became the foun
tain head from which other breeders
drew their herd bulls; yet Mr. Hates
was careful to cultivate the milking
qualities of his herd, and in conse
quence. had cows that give from
24 to 34 quarts of inllk per day. So
persistently did he Impress this In
tills herd of cows that many of their
descendants proved excellent milkers
many generations after Mr. Bates'
herd was dispersed. Hence the pre
vailing opinion that Shorthorn cows
of exceptional dairy qualities should
be sought among those carrying an in
fusion of liates blood ha 3 a founda
tion in fact; yet there are exceptions
and some notable ones.
Amos Crulckshank, who drew the
attention of the beef producing world
to the excellence of the Scotch Short
horns, by the wonderful fleshing quali
ties he had bred into his herd, was
not unmindful of the dairy qualities of
his cows, and in that mavelous herd
of beef cattle were many matrons
quite good at the pall.
The large dairies that supply milk
for London are composed quite large
ly, and In some cases exclusively, of
Shorthorn cows. This is also true In
part of dairies In New York and New
England.
I ter is too cold to be comfortable if
drunk in large quantities, the cow will
! not drink enough, and aa a result,
will drop considerably in her milk
yield. When Missouri Chief Josephine
was giving about 100 pounds of milk
each day last winter she drank dally
about 31 gallons of water. Imagine
how she would have suffered If that
had been ice water. It was warmed,
however, and Josephine did not chill
after drinking.
Green Feeding Worth While.

so often heard that Its repetition
seems silly; yet there are flocks on
fairly prosperous farms where one
would think the practice of regular
green feeding had never been heard

Exhorting the Ducks.
There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The oth
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks In the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
"Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tut. and ex
horted. "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up
for Jesu3!"

A serious-ininded New Yorker, who,
because of his dignified outlook on
life, has sent his son, aged twelve, to

hopeful's room, he climbed the four
flights of stairs necessary to reach it

Her Wedding March.
A young girl who had never heard
of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March,"
but was familiar with the more popu

wedding ceremony in an uptown
church recently. As the betrothed
pair walked with dignified tread to
ward the altar to be wed and the or
gan pealed forth Mendelssohn's inspir
ing march, the young girl was plainly
shocked. When she arrived at her
home she told her mother of the cere

Of The Rockford Morning Star.
"About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum a
trial.
"I had suffered acutely from various
forms of indigestion and my stomach
had become so disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
Intervals I would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for a week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and In a short time ceased
entirely. I have continued the daily

indebted to you for the relief It has
brought me.
