With Both Annies In South Africa.
•'We have been misinformed and
blinded by a propaganda against the
Boer." says Richard Harding Davis In
hiBbook on the South African war
which Is just issued by Harper Broth
ers. "a manipulation of press and par
liament which has never been equalled
in dexterity of misrepresentation nor
audacity of untruth, not even by the
boulevard journalists, who live on
blackmail and the Monte Carlo susten
ance fund."
The title of Mr. Davis* book explains
Its most striking feature. He entered
South Africa with the British army
and in full sympathy with the British
cause. He began as a correspondent
of Bullets army, and was one of the
first to enter Ladysmlth after the siege.
Through this part of the book he Is
with the British army In person and
Iq spirit. He next went to Pretoria
and remained there until the British
took the town. He entered the coun
try of the Boers filled with the British
prejudices. He had not been there a
week before he was captive to the Boers
and their cause. Tbe quiet dignity
and tbe manliness of the sturdy burgh
ers, he says, won him to their side
and oaused. a corresponding revulsion
of feeling for whti the British were
doing. The action of the British
prisoners at Pretoria increased Mr.
Davis'resentment. He aaya he went
into the prison compound with a sym-'
pathetic rediness to do anything be
could for the men. Their violent abuse
of the Boer officers, who accompanied
him, however, not only embarrassed
but angered him. He says: "When
one has^ refused to fight further with
tbe rifle, It is not becoming to continue
the fight with the tongue, nor to in
sult the man whom you have begged
tor mercy." Mr. Davis found that the
Boers regarded the war with a calm
ness and fairness in striking contrast
with the hysteria of the British on the
same subject. "It must be." he says,
"because the English are so conscious
of the injustice of this war that they
rail as they do at the Boer.1' Amonv
the burghers, be says he found none of
the abusive talk against the enemy
that he had heard dally In the Brltsih
camp, Mrs. Kruger was found red
eyed with weeping, three days after
the Boer victory at Spion Kop, because
she was haunted with the thought of
all those English dead still lying un
buried. "I cry when 1 think of tbe
mothers and children. *of those poor
men," she explained.1* When General
Botha wrote to General Buller request
ing permission to bury tbe English
dead, Buller replied that he would re
frain from firing on the burying party
and requested that the Boers should
"Send him a bill for the trouble." Mr.
Davis found that this reply of Boiler's
and a certain British officer's reference
to "good pig sticking" at Elandslaagte
were the only Incidents of the war
which the ^urghers could not discuss
with tolerance,
After commenting on the Ill-breeding
and callousness of such remarks, Mr.
Davis says:
In this campaign everything seems
to have been done to degaade war, to
make It even more brutal than is to
callous the mind toward it to rob it of
all its possible heroism and terrible
magnificence. We have the incident
of the British officer who protested
loudly against General Cronje receiving
a cigar when he a*ked for one of an
other who distributed Mrs. Crooje's
wisp of false hair as

Durlug this crisis tho Englishman did
not, unfortanateljr, see himself as
others aaw him. He acted, and talkedL
and wrote as extravagantly about this
little war aa be would had tbe combin
ed fleets and armies of the whole world
attacked his Island home. Fie stamped
bis foot and sang "Britons never, never
.ball be slaves," when nobody wanted
to make him a slave, and he recited the
"Absent Ulnde£ Beggar" on all public
occasions, and wore a necktie of N
tional colors as though tbe foeman's
foot ware already on his shore, instead
of seeing as every one else saw, that
after forcing a war most insolently and
barefacedly on one of the smallest
governments gn the globe, that
smallest
government was giving blm for six
months a severe and humiliating thrash
ing.
Mr. Davis thinks that by the war
the British have not only lost their
20,000 men, but, what Is more serious,
prestige and the respect of the nations
of the world. "When Lord Boberta and
bis army fling out the black flag," he
concludes, "and go forth under it on
Jameson raids—when they murder old
men and young boys because they fight
for their homes—the best they can ask
of anyone Is silence as to their mis
deeds and that their triumph may te

Nearly all the socialistic communi

for 4 while because they create better
conditions of life than the foreign peas
ant has been acoustomed to. But they
do hot grow, because they do not offer
as much as the Independent American
citizen can hope to secure from Individ
ual effort. Socialism Is attractive to
those who live under a social system
with fixed stars and sharp limitations
to the reward for Individual effort. It
has no attraction for people who ap
preciate the opportunities of individ
ualism in a country where there are no
limits to the honor, wealth, or .^q^tlon

A little heartening In the battle's stress,
A lltUe singing at the olose of day—
And oht this life Is not all cold and gray,
But sweet with oomfort and with sunshine and

If that we keep, each helping as he may,
These little things In sight.
A little hope, a little faith serene,
A little word of strength for those who fall,
A little smiling, tho' tears come between,
A little charity if need should call—
And oh! not paltry is our life, nor small,
But big and fine and fllled with sweet delight,
If that we keep, each for the sake of all,
These little things In sight.
—Ripley D. Saunders, in St. Louis Republ'c*
E.'Oi'Adams, state dairy and food
commissioner of Wisconsin, delivered
an address at tbe National association
of State Dairy and Food Departments
of the United States, held In Milwaukee
last week, on the "Necessary National
Legislation Relative to Dairy Products."
He said In part:
'Extensive adulteration of foods in
the United States has given rise to the
enactment, in nearly every state, of
laws regulating to a greater or Icbs ex
tent the manufacture and sale of food
products. New York, Massachusetts
and Ohio have been the leaders in
this class of legislation."
"Food adulterations are of sufficient
extent to warrant not only the inter
vention of state authority but the pow
er of the national government as well.
It 1s estimated that $300,000,000 worth
of adulterated foods are sold annually
In the United States."
A national pure food law has been
under consideration by congress for
several years and there are now pend
ing In the lower house of congress two
measures of this character. It Is now
urged, in opposition to a national law,
that the regulation of food adulteration
should be left to tbe states, aud that
the states have a clear and undisputed
right to prohibit or regulate such adul
teration through tbe exercise of their
police powers."
"Nattonal legislation, however, is
needed, because only a portion of the
spates have t^ken up this matter of food
legislation to any extent and in others,
where the laws are adequate, they are
practically a dead letter because of the
failure of state authorities to enforce
them. There comes pouring in over
the boundaries o' every state which has
efficient laws and good administration a
flood from every direction of manufac
tures sold in violation of the laws of
the state Into which tbey enter. The
evils of food adulteration would be
very greatly lessened if they were con
Bned by a strong national law within
the limits of the state in which tbey
originated. Tbe evils of food adulter
ation are not and can be defended. It
is not only within tbe power of congress
to go to the limit of its authority in
this matter, but it is the plain duty of
that body to adopt the most stringent
possible legislation."
Mr. Adams then spoke of the purport
of the Grout bill, alBO of the bill of Sher
man of New York and concluded as
follows.
"More and more public sentiment is
becoming aroused and public judg
ment informed as to the character and
effect of food adulteration. The efforts
of friends of pure food laws should be
steadily exerted in the direction of se
curing strong and uniform state legis
lation and the enactment by congress
of as radical restrictive and prohibitive
national legislation as the constitution
al power of that body will warrant."
Feed
MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1900.
and Care ofOowa.
Liberal feeding will produce the larg
est quantities of milk that a cow Is
capable of producing, but tho only
method by which the composition of
milk produced by a herd can be perma
nently improved iB by proper culling
and breeding to bulls of a strain known
to produce rich milk.
While the quality of milk cannot be
appreciably changed by tbe food given,
so far as its contents of fat and other
components are concerned, we know
that the flavor of milk Is easily affected
by the fooa. Familiar examples are
turnip flavor, leek, onion and rye flavors
In the milk, which unquestionably in
most esses have 'their origin directly
from the food eaten.
The qualtty of the butter fat and of
the butter can, however be readily
ohanged by a proper selection of foods.
The most marked example Is perhaps
that of cotton-seed meal, which will
produoe a hard and white butter that
is laoking in flavor. Carrots and pas
ture grass, on the other hand will make
a yellow and high-flavored butter.
The most important point in feeding
dairy cows and making a success of
dairying is that the dairyman shall
know intimately the wants and habits
of all his cows and shall feed eaoh one
according to special needs. Good re
sults In feeding dairy cows cannot be
obtained by treating the herd as a unit.
If feeding standards are constructed to
permit of or encourage such a practrce,
tbey will do more harm than good.
It may not be out of place, In con
clusion, to call attention to the fact
that feeding the dairy herd is only one of
the factors upon which success in dairy
ing depends. Without attending to
general wants and comfort of the cows
they will not do their best. Tbe cows
should be housed in an airy, well venti
lated and comfortable stable, where
they will not freeze In cold winter
weather
Tbey
should
worry,
be kapt
and occasionally groomed. The man- David City, Neb., April 1, 1900.

are prime virtues in a good
dairymin. He should not only practice
these vlrtueB himself, but impress on
his hired help the necessity of doing

day (a pinch of salt each time, say half healthier. We have used it for years.
an ounce), or have access to salt. The
water they drink must be pure, and in
freezing weather should be warmed to
about 70 degrees F. It is much cheap
er and far more humane to warm the
water by means of a small tank heater
than to force the cow to warm it.
Fresh air and a little ont door exerciss
daily are furthermore essentials in keep
