as many bacteria. In another very
dirty farm, 97 per cent. of the bacteria
were kept out by the covered pail. At
the Wisconsin station extended tests
showed 20 times more bacteria in milk
from an open pail than where a small
top pail was used.
RATIONS FOR DAIRY CATTLE
- r——— Ww
‘More Palatable the Food the Greater
Quantity a Cow Will Consume—
Water Ils Also Important.
The following general facts should
be observed in making up the ration
for a dairy cow. A cow should be fed
all that she will eat and digest well,
giving due consideration to the cost,
digestibility and composition. of the
food fed. The more palatable the
food the greater quantity a cow will
consume. Variety often increases
palatability.
A part of the ration should be suc-
culent in nature, as such food stimu-
lates action in the intestinal tract,
which stimulates vigor, thrift and
health in fhe animal. Another im-
portant part of the food supply is
water. Too often this is not given
proper consideration.
Cleaning Utensils.
If any utensil has become sour or
tainted, special scalding will be nec-
essary to restore it to usefulness.
Steam is still more powerful than wa-
ter as a destroyer of bacteria, being
more penetrating as well as giving
more intense heat.

CF BENTON CASE
Gen. Carranza Bars I[nvesti-
ca ors Cut of Chlhuahua
CRITISHMUSTTREATWITHHIM
The Order Came As a Surprise to the
Commissioners—VYilla at Chihuahua
Has Repeatedly Expressed His
Desire to Hasten the Inquiry.
Juarez, Mexico—The Benton inves-
tigating committee was prevented from
proceeding to Chihuahua to examine
the slain Briton’s body by rebel or-
ders. Col. Fidel Avila, military com-
mander here, declined to permit them
to board the regular passenger train
which was waiting.
Whether the incident means delay
or the permanent prohibition of the
mission could net be learned. The
mystery thrown around the occur-
rence led to many rumors of an ap-
parently exaggerated nature.
No official in Juarez has authority
to take such action as was taken in
this case. Only two persons in North-
ern Mexico have the power—Venus-
Hane Carranza and Gen. Francisco
Toe order came as a surprise to the
commissioners.
has repeatedly expressed his desire
to hasten the inquiry and his offer of
a special train to take the commis-
sion from this city to Chihuahua,
where. Benton's body is said to be
buried, was formally accepted by
Marion Letcher, the American consul
there.
Washington, D. C.—No examination
of the body of William S. Benton, the
3ritish subject executed by Gen. Villa
at Juarez, will be made by the com-
mission composed of American and
3ritish government representatives,
| vending the outcome of an exchange
>f notes between Gen. Carranza, chief
of the Mexiean Constitutionalists and
the United States government.
Gen. Carranza’s declaration that
(3reat Britaim instead of the United
jtates should deal with him concern-
ng the death of a British subject,
soupled with gthe broad intimation
hat all communications on interna-
ional affairs should first be addressed
o him, instead of to Gen. Villa or
ny other of his subordinates, inject-
4 a new complication into the situa-
ion and the expedition to Chihuahua,
rranged to start from El Paso, was
yostponed.
In some quarters Carranza’s sug-
resticn that he should be first ad-
ressed was regarded as a bid for
armal recognition. The American
overnment, however. it was stated
n the highest authority, holds that
scognition could be extended only,
irough formal announcement and ex-
)ressed intention rather than through
ny casual relationship.
New Orleans, Lia.—Great Britain
never will recognize the Constitution-
ilist party of Mexico even to the ex-
‘ent of requesting that ' Gen. Car-
-anza investigate the death of William
3enton, according to Sir Lionel Car-
len, British minister to Mexico, who
was here on his way to Washington
and England.
“Great Britain has recognized the
Huerta government as the only consti-
uted authority in Mexico, then why
should my government request Car-
ranza for a report on the Killing of
Benton?” Sir Lionel asked.
Try to Wreck Flyer.
Albuquerque, N. M.—An attempt
was made to wreck Santa Fe Over-
‘and Limited train No. 1 at Gallup. A
switch leading to a work-train siding
12 mile east of the town had been
chrown and spiked down. The pas-
senger train was half an hour late,
and a switchman who was sent out
to handle an incoming freight discov-
ered the open switch.
Beachey Drops 1,600 Feet.
Santa Barbara, Cal.—While “looping
the loop” here Lincoln Beachey, the
aviator, lost control of his biplane
and fell 1,600 feet, but managed to
right himself 400 feet from the ground,
and escaped with slight injuries. His
machine crashed into a tree, but was
uot much injured.
FUSILLADE GREETS FIREMEN
State Armory Bombardment Follow-
ing Biaze Scatters Crowd.
Binghamton, N. Y.—Fire which
broke out in the Babcock, Hinds &
Underwood’s 4-story hardware store,
destroyed that structure and spread
rapidly to several other buildings.
The state armory, where thousands
of rounds of shotgun and rifle ammu-
nition were stored, was the next
building attacked by the flames. The
fusillade that followed was terrific
and the crowds scattered in fear, but
no one was injured.
Organize to Raise Skunks.
Berkeley Springs, W. Va.—A com-
pany has been formed here to raise
skunks and other fur-bearing animals
on a farm of 2,600 acres. The new
company will raise skunks, raccoons,
foxes and muskrats.

TRIO OF FIRES CAUSE BIG LOSS
First Two Do Heavy Damage While
Third Ranks Second in Havoc.
Pittsburgh, Pa.—Three fires, two
breaking out almost simultaneously
and the third less than two hours
later, wrought a loss Sunday of $175,
000. The terrific wind and the biting
cold made the efforts of the firemen
extremely hazardous and uncomfort-
able. The establishments damaged
were the Columbia Phonograph Com-
pany, Federal street and Duquesne
(way; George Wehn Son & Company,
627 Penn avenue; Pearl Nickelodeon,
| Rubinstein Wall Paper Company and
the British Raincoat Manufacturing
Company, 1108 Fifth avenue; Fried-
berg & Melbron and B. Josephson,
both at 1106 Fifth avenue.
Biggest Postal Bill Passes.
Washington,, D. C.—The Senate
passed the largest appropriation: bill
ever to meet the approval of either
House of Congress, when it sent to
conference the Postoffice measure,
carrying $311,492,067, an increase of
nearly $840,000 over the b’ll as it
was reported by the Postoffice Com-
mittee. All efforts to limit the pow-
er of the Postmaster General to reg-
ulate parcel post rates, zones K or
weights were defeated.
RAFFLES AMONG OFFICERS
: Mysterious Thefts Occur Aboard Bat-
tleship—Court of Inquiry Ordered.
Boston, Mass.—A genuine scandal
in naval circles has developed since
the arrival here of the United States
battleship New Jersey, and one of the
most popular ensigns on that vessel
is under suspicion of having commit-
ted a series of thefts covering months.
The New Jersey came here from
Vera Cruz. Prior to the voyage many
articles had been lost in the junior
officers’ quarters. The missing ar-
ticles included $600, the property of
an ensign, and numerous rings, stick
pins and trinkets of value. The thefts
became so frequent and so mystify-
ing that an official investigation was
made and a report rendered. Devel
ppments were awaited and they came
in the form of a notice to Captain
Kellogg from the Navy Department
to the effect that the court of inquiry
had been ordered.
Turkish Birdmen Killed.
Canstantinople, Turkey.—Fethy Bey
and Sadik Bey, the young officers of
the Turkish military aviation corps
were killed while attempting to fly
from Constantinople to Alexandria,
Egypt. After leaving Damascus on
the way to Jerusalem the aeroplane
broke down in mid air and the two
aviators fell with it from a high alti-
tude.
Will Build $1,500,000 Plant.
Massillon, Ohio.—Three open hearth
steel mills will be erected and placed
in operation before December 1, 1914,
by the ‘Massillon Rolling Mill Com-
pany; adjoining its present plant on
Tolumbia Heights. The plant will
zost $1,500,000 and employ 500 men.
Swallows $3,250 In Radium.
London, England.—A woman in a
Vienna hospital swallowed a tube con-
taining $3,250 worth of radium, with
which she was being treated for a
zancer of the throat. The radium was
recovered by a surgical operation.
Dr. Paul A. Hartman Dead.
Harrisburg, Pa.—Dr. Paul A. Hart-
man; a widely-known physician, died
here, aged 63.
Schooner Goes on Rocks.
Warfigld, R. L—The four-masted
schooner Jacob S. Winslow, lumber-
laden from Fernandina, for Provi-
dence, crashed on rocks on the south-
past side of Block Island. Captain
Wilson and his crew of eight were
brought shore by the Block Island
life savers who made a hazardous
trip in a surfboat against a southeast
zale blowing a mile a minute, and
through menacing seas.
Torpedo Boat on Rocks.
Glasgow, Scotland.—The Laverock,
one of the newest and finest torpedo
boat destroyers of the British navy,
went on the rocks in Skelmorlo Bay
on the Firth of Clyde and stuck fast.
The crew was taken off safely.
Said Pasha Is Dead.
Canstantinople, Turkey.—Said Pasha,
former Grand Vizier, died here. Said
Pasha began his career as a clerk in
a government office and advanced
gradually until in 1879 he received
his first appointment as Grand Vizier.
