Skimmilk Good for Chicks.
Recent experiments have shown that
skimmilk is a very valuable. food for
young chicks, but becomes less valuable '
as the chicks get older, though there is
:no doubt that skimmfllk is always valu-
.able as a food. But for young growing
chicks it seems to be more than or-
~d3inarily valuable. When added to the
ration for chicks it increases the con-
sumption of other foods. given.
[farmer almost always has a bountiful
supply of skimmilk,‘at least so far as
the demand for a feed for the chicks is
concerned. Meat. and milk as part of
.the _, ration of. .the .chicksw-ill cause a
rapid growth, and this is of great im-
portance when we are trying to get fall .
. iayers.—Farmers’ Review.

To the Editor: _
I think it my duty to inform
your readers of a remedy that
should be in every household.
I was a martyr to Dyspepsia
and Constipation and tric d
' everything in vain. In despair I
bought a ten cent package of the

in three days I felt better and
afterwards I bought a twenty-
five cent package and now I am
completely cured. Your druggist

LONDON, """
Jan. 12. —The newspapers
were reconciled during the early days 01
the war to cable censorship, taking it for l
granted that full narratives sent by mail I
For some
weeks, how e1cr, even the mail corre-
has shown signs of habitual scissoring by
the censor. Pages rue renumbered with-
out chronological or logical connection
leaving the happenings described quite
unintelligible in many cases. The editors,
acting possibly in concert, are laying
these factsbefore the public and insisting '
that they be permitted to know and to
print the facts The Daily Mail formally
accuses the war office of “doctoring” in
editing official dispatches before their is-
suance _and cites particulars. The Daily
Chronicle avers that there seems to be an
official conspiracy against letting the
truth be known. ' '-
Lee- Metford car'tiidges are running
short in the British magazines, and, ac-
cording to a semiofficial report, the war .
office purposes to fall back temporarily .
upon 100,000,000 “Mark IV” expanding
bullets, most of which are already in
storage in South Africa.
After the public announcement that. no
such bullet would be used in this war, its
employment, The Daily Chronicle thinks,
would be a serious breach of faith, espe-
cially as the British commanders have
complained'that the Boers occasionally
use such projectiles.
The Standard has the. following dis-
patch, dated Monday. from Frere camp:
“Our patrols have searched both flanks
of the Boer position. They found a large
camp five miles east of Colenso, evidently l
in anticipation of a B11t1sh attempt at a
turnim.r movement.”
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
Pietcrmaritzlmrg. dated Jan. 8, says:
"Pr ivatc adv was from Ladysmith, dated
Jan. 2. av that rations of bread and
meat are plentiful, and the garrison had
not then touched the ‘bully’ beef and his !
cuit supplies. Luxuries are scarce in La- ’
(lysmith, but the hospitals are well sup-
plied with milk, and the horses are in
good condition.” '
The queen has proclaimed the meeting
of parliament for Jan. 30.
General Lord Methuen, the B11t1~l
leader at \Iodder River, is 1"0pOlted in a'
special cable dispatch to be a maniac.
He will be relieved of his command in
two weeks and will return to England. I
This is the second general to go mad in
the Boer war. The other is General
Yule.
All accounts of lingersfontcin battle
show it to have been a. “hatchery.” l
The insane general. to quote Wart I
chope, “ordered us into a butcher shop
and left us there.”
Sixteen thousand troops, the flower of
the British army, are forced to obey this
maniac general.
Although the war office declines to con- ‘
firm the report that Lord Methucn has
been recalled to England, inquiries made
by a correspondent at Methuen’s home in
VViltshire have elicited the’information i
that when he received his wound his.
horse threw .himrheavily. and'spin'al and
other injuries supervencd.
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Mail, telegraphing Monday, Says:
“The vanguard of the Sixth division is
waiting at Table bay until the arrival of
Lord Roberts.
"The British cruiser Fearless seized '
the bark Maria L, which arrived at Port '
Elizabeth Saturday from the Argentine :
with sulphur.”
The Daily Mail saysz,
“\Ve learn that in the attack 011 Lady-
smith last Saturday, Jan. 0, the British
losses were 14 officers killed, 34 wounded
and over 800 noncommissioncd officers
and men killed 01' wounded. The Boer
losses, we hear. are estimated at between
2,000 and 3,000."
It appears that although Grout Britain
has released the American flour seized by
British cruisers, the British ships from
which it was lauded will not be permitted
to take it to Dclagoa Bay for shipment to
the Transvaal, owing to the British gov-
ernment prohibiting British ships from
trading with the Boers. A foreign vessel
will therefore have to convey the flour to
Loni-enco Marques from Port Elizabeth.
A British massacre of British troops
is the startling news that shocked Lon-
don today.
It reached heretby mail from a corrc
spondent with Bulle1"s army in Natal
and told of a mistake that set two Brit
ish regiments fighting each other in the
darkness until the ground was strewn
with dead, when the blunder was discov-
cred.
The battle was fought at \l'illou
Grange, near Estcourt. Thursday, Nov.
23, but. thanks to the censor. no word
of the deadly error has heretofore reach
011 England.
In the darkness khaki uniforms were
not recognized, and it. was not until the
hill was strewn with dead and dying that
the terrible mistake was discovered.

WAR PREDICTED.
Japan and Russia Likely to Fall at
Each other Soon.
VANCOUVER, B. 0., Jan. 12. —-Advices'
by the steamship Empress of J apanmhich
arrived at Vancouver yesterday, say that
many of the Japanese papers are predict-
ing war between Japan and Russia at an
early date. All the papers chronicle the
rapid movement of Japanese troops tc
points of vantage.
George R. Gregg, cx-mayor of VVinni-
peg, who arrived from Yokohama by
Wednesday’ s steamer, says the prospec.
of war between Japan and Russia has
been in no respect diminished through
the recent overtures of the St. Peters-
burg government. Shortly before he left
Japan the government had placed an or-_
der for 100, 000 winter uniforms with a
British firm, while coincidently the Japa
nese press announced the puichase 0!
large supplies of campaign foods by the
army commissary department. Hundreds
of horses arebeing. mustered at Hiro-
sham and drilled for cavalry service.
The Kobe Chronicle looks upon war a!
virtually assured and says that a few
days ag0'a'steamer left a certain Japa-
nese port under sealed orders with a large
force of soldiers equipped for the field on
board. It also announced that three oth-
er steamers had been chartered as trans.
ports for the graveyance of troops. Their
destination is Masampo, _Korea, where
the Russian gunboat _Domsky, with sev-
eral other "1va1 vessels of the same flag,‘
had proceeded with the excuse of Water-
ing. -‘
Another significant report is given by 11
Tokyo correspondent. He says the Brit-
ish government recently applied to the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha to charter some of
their steamers as transports. The appli-
cation was refused, the J apancsc govern-
- mcnt declining permission 011 the ground
that it might need the steamers. It is
easily understood that the situation is not
improved by the Japanese active and
hearty indorsement of Great Britain in
her South African policy and the assur-
, ancc given by no fewer than 40 Japanese
; towns that if desired they will supply
Great Britain with complete and experi-
enced regiments for service in the Trans-
vaal.
PORTO RICO DELEGATES.
Three Conunittees Set Sail For tlle
United States.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 12.—The
three delegations recently appointed tc
lay before the government at Washington
the special needs of Porto Rico have
sailed for the United States by the
Philadelphia. Senorcs Finlay,
Luce and Juncos go 011 behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce, Senores Gonzalez
and Amadeo will represent the agricul-
tural interests and Senores Ames and
Larriniga the Federal party. Senores
and Latimer, the Republican
delegates, will probably sail on Saturday.
All are representative Porto Ricans, thor-
. oughly acquainted with the conditions ex-
isting in the island and well able to give
all necessary information to the adminis
tration 01' to congress.
The provisional court has rendered a
decision that the people of Porto Rico, in
their aggregate capacity, are not sover-
eign and have no legal right to sue col-
lectively. The matter was brought up in
connection with the annulment of the
election in Guayama, where the local
court had claimed the right to issue a
I writ annulling the election as an incident
to theisovercign sovereignty of the peo-
ple. A demurrer filed by the complain~
ants sought to be removed was sustained.
Senator Mallory “’11! Not Resign.
PENSACOLA. Fla., Jan. 12.—A Tam-V
pa dispatch to the Atlanta Journal an-
nouncing that Senator Mallory would re-
sign and that Congressman Sparkman
would be appointed his successor created
:1 stir among Senator Mallory’s friends
here. Their uneasiness was dispelled by
a telegram to John B. Jones, Mr. Mal-
lory’s
11edy of New Orleans, the senator’s broth-
er-in-law and physician. Dr. Kennedy
stated that Senator Mallory is steadily
improving in health and would soon be'
able to attend to his duties in lVashingr
ion. The rumor that he will resign, Dr
Kurnerly 111' 015, is absolutely untrue.
Dewey Arch Fund Growing.
.\'E\V YORK, Jan. 12.—Charles Nicoll,
secretary of tho Dewey arch committee,
was surprised yesterday when he was
told of the rumors that it was possible
that the Dcwcy arch project would have
to be abandoned owing to the lack of
subscriptions. Mr. Nicoll said that the
rumor was not true and that it has never
been thought possible that there would be
a failure. The total amount so far rc-
ceivod is about $210,000. Yesterday al-
most $7, 000 was received. The largest
subscription was from J. Picipont M01
gun, who sent a check for $5,000. An
other check for $1,000 was received from
another banker in \Vall street.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 12. —J. G.
Thurtle, a prominent English resident of
this city and first cousin to Lord. Roberts,
who is at the head of the English army
in South Africa, furnierly served in the
~English army and for several years’ held
a commission under General Methuen in?
South Africa. , He became thoroughly ac-'.
quainted- with the Boers and their coun-i

Without ussistance'from those who ,un-
dbrstand the science of military tactics
better than ’they do. Their method of
fighting is that of the'open field work,
and they are not shrewd in the science of
successful warfare.
"The English are placed at a disadvan-
tage in fighting the Boers, due to the con-
dition of the atmosphere in that country.
In the first place, the surface of the
country is mountainous but 'level.
are plateaus, and they are surrounded by
mountain ranges. These plateaus are
very large, and it is very difficult for an
officer of the army who is not acquainted
with the condition of the country to suc-
cessfully direct the campaign. I am of
the opinion that Lord Methuen’s army
was surrounded on one of these plateaus,
and he did not understand the nature of
the country sufficiently to get out of the
trap. The atmosphere is perfectly clear,
and objects many miles away will appear
to be very close. Men :1 great distance
away appear to be within shooting range.
This is one of the difficulties in the way
of the successful waging of the fight by
the English.
“The Boers have been preparing for
this conflict for more than two years, and
as a result they are in splendid fighting
condition. However, they could do noth-
ing if it were not for the fact that they
are secretly aided by the French and
Germans. They cannot win if they are
placed on their own resources, and it re-
mains to be seen how far the assistance
from these countries will he carried.
“Do I think the English people will
win?, Yes. but it will take time, money
and cost many lives.”
.0011] In Cuba.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, Jan. 12.—Business
men, especially those interested in min—
ing, were greatly interested in a test '
made of coal recently discovered in the
Mayari district. A coal mine in Cuba
would be of the greatest possible value.
At present the price of coal is $8 per ton
for ships and steam plants, and there is
virtually no domestic consumption owing
to this prohibitive figure. Scientists have
always held that it was impossible that
coal should exist in Cuba, and all tests of
reputed discoveries heretofore have re-
sulted in failure. In this test the fire
was kept burning continuously for ten
hours. The coal appears to be a product
between bituminous and cannel. With a
strong draft it developed a remarkable
degree of heat, and the experts declared
it equal to the best steam coal in the
southern states.
goat Raising in the West.
The climatic condition and food sup-
ply of a large part of our mountain-
ous country are admirably adapted to
Angora ranges, and there is not a
state in the union, east or west, in
which they cannot be grown to good
advantage. Notwithstanding the in-
breeding, cross-breeding' and inability
to get fresh blood, American ranch-
men have improved the stock they
had to work with just as they im-
proved the original Merino sheep. and
believe they will in time produce a
better animal, larger and finer, than
the original stock with nearly 3,000
years of historv behind it.
