Mexitun Government Will K.rvsK
Contempt for V. S.
Smarting under the chagrin of be
ing outplayed at the dlplonmtlc gnlne
by I resident Diaz and Snor Creel.
Secretar of State Knox has seat to
the Mexican government a note
which amazes the foieign'contim:ent
in Washington as another example of
current '"shotgun diplomacy."
The imprisonment of Jamt-8 A.
Cook, an American citizen, at Guada
lajara, is the pretext for Secretary
Knox's brusque-items toward Mexico,
but the cause is said to be found in
Mr. Knox's anger at Mexico when
that government out-mau5uvored him
In Nlcarngmn affairs.
Meanwhile all latln -Vmerira, as
represented here. Is boiling with In
dignation at the United States and
such statements as the following
made by a serious and responsible
student of South and Central Ameri
can affairs are common:
"The United States hast lost more
prestige dining these lust 15 davs
than it had gained in the previous
15 years.
It is further declared to be tli"
Intention 'of President Diaz to re
ceive the late President Zelava as
the guest of Mexico City and shower
honors and courtesies on him as a
mark of Mexican contempt for the
?tiite department at Washington.
Worse, still, there Is trustworthy
information to the effect Thnt nearly
all the South and Central American
Governments have lost fa ml In the
United States, both as to fairness and
iustice of nrocedure. and as to the
fimness with which it was expected
o pursue Its policies.
They have come to the conclusion
that, the present' diplomacy of the
United Stntes Is a "big. flat bluff,"
and say that while Uncle Sam may
bluster and browbeat, he is not to be
feared, because he Is sure to back
down In the end They Instance the
humiliating retreat of Secretary
Knox In the affair of the Alsop claim
again Chile, wherein he issued an in
sulting ultimatum, was "called" by
the Chileans and then had to appeal
secretly to the Brazilian secretary of
face ,
They cite also Secretary Knox's
somewhat ridiculous blustering attl-
! tude about arresting Zclaya. which
in the end he was meekly forced to
abandon and permit Diaz to carry the
tyrant off in triumph.
"In future.' say the Latin-Amert-mii
diplomats, "we shall call Mr.
Knox s blurts os orten as ne miiKes
hem. The United States has lost
its influence with us and Mexico has
come to the front."
"The department deplores the sen
sational stories based on this art."
said an official of the department
todny.
''i ne United States has taken steps
to safeguard the rights of an Ameri
can because the friends of that citizen
believe these rights are not being
recognized.
"Personally T 'know nothing about
the case, but I do know that the man
in the case ha not been .imprisoned
much longer, if as long, as luany sus
pected persons under the smne charge
have been Incarcernted In tills coun
try awaiting trial. It la entirely nat
ural that friends of Cook should be
anxious about his and should like
wise exert every effort to have Mm
brought to a speedy trial.
"The Idea of an American pictur
ed as helpless and subjected tn per
secution, languishing in a fore'un
jail, always will appeal to the tender
hearted It is altogether likely, how
ever that the Mexican lnw Is taking
Its course.
At present the exchanges between
he United States and Mexico are
purely friendly and Informal. They
are being conducted through the reg
ular diplomatic channels and on the
part if the department with a com
pete recognition of the peculiar lnws
governing the operation of rai'ronds
In Mexico. Not the slightest friction,
officials of the department insist, has
arisen as a result of the JntercKinge.
md a satisfactory solution of "the
problem Is a matter of a few hours,
or days.

The loss of flesh at weaning Hue
may br reduced to a minimum if the
colt Is taught t) eat grain with its
dam before it Is weaned. It Is not the
best practice to feed the colt large
quantities of grain while with the
mare, but rather to get him to eating
small amounts. Teach hlin to stand
tied with a halter before weunlng.
so that he will not fret when taken
away from the mare. Colts that are
accustomed to being lpd and tpd are
much easier to manage during wean-
1
ing time than those that have neer I
been handled. '
About 6 months of age Is tho prop-'
er time to wean a strong colt. Many
good horbeineti prefer to wean thmi
at once, while others wean them more,
gradually, allowing them to suck once '
a day for a number of days before ;
they are taken away entire). Alter I

mare It is essential that she have '
good care and her udder should be j

cold water and spirits of cumphor
to prevent it from becon.lng caked
and feverish.
When the colt is taken from the
mare he should have a" box stall
that Is well lighted aid ventilated.
Tho box stall will afford him more
exercise than a single one. Alter giv
ing him a box stall do not think he
should have no other exercise, 'but
turn, him out once a da when the

to run around tho yards. Hran and

The Know How ef Di'iryhig.
One of the main causes of failure
in dairying is guess, work. The
amount of butter fat produced by
each member of the herd should be
determined by actual test, and not by .
guess. If you have not made a test I
of your cows there are some surprises j
fn store tor you. ' It is a common ex- i
perience to find that the most nrom-I
ising looking cow. and the one you
guessed to be the best was the worst,
while the row of unpromising appear
ance proved to he the best. Dairvmen
who are not making the bust'ittss pay
as It sho-jld do well to apply the
Babeoek test. Don't have any guess
work about the stables. Don't guesp
that this or that is right, but know
that It Is right. Know that your help
is gentle with the cows. Know that
each cow has fresh dry bedding each
day. Know that each cow receives a
rubbing down with comb or brush in
'ho morning after being milked.
Know that after tho cows are milked
they are turned out for r.ir nnd ex
ercise, unless It be a stormy day.
Know that the stable Is thoroughly
aired and cleaned. Get the habit of
knowing, and you will succeed
