Having failed, after two yeara' strife, in subduing the insurrection in Batan cras province, which lies jnst south of Manila, and having satisfied himself that lenient treatment of the Insurgents is productive of no good results, Gene ral J. Franklin BeJl, the military com mander in thatprovince,has determined on the enforcement of the war in the most vigorous and determined fashion, involving reconcentratlon in a modified form, the application of martial law In all directions and the unsparing pursuit and punishment of the natives who act as spies and so-called traitors to tbe United States. st- SCHARL€8.

But little difference is there between this order of Bell's and that of General Weyler, whose operations in Cuba wre largely responsible for the Spanish American war.

Filipinos are "fighting for ielr liberty" too and we are up In arms lealn, but not for the Filipinos. It does make a difference whose ox Is gored.—Oeiweln Register. Our European Friends. The sudden ebullition of European friendliness for the United States is very nattering, but our heada are not likely to be turned by it. No one doubts that as a governmental and official ex preBSlon of respect it is entirely sincere, and in one or two cases there is no doubt tbat with respect is mingled no little good will on the part of those fn authority. But tbe loud execrations that greeted American intervention In Cubs,- ihe charges of hypocrasy with which our statements that our impul ses were humanitarian was assailed and tbe symptoms of popular dislike for Americans traveling In Europe dur ing the Spanl-h war are somewhat too recent to be entirely forgotten, though they are probably entirely forgiven as the results of misinformation and ina bility to understand tbe American na tional character. Moreover, the wide spread expressions of hostility toward American methods and the drastic measures propssed to put a Btop to the "American invasion" are matters of al most current comment. In short, how ever, much the American people may be gratified tbat Germany, Kussia and France have taken the cue ot England, and are tumbling over one another in their efforts to prove the priority ot their friendship and tbat they never had tbe slightest intention of interfering In our business with Spain, they are inclined to accept these profession as liitle more than a general recognitions of (he United States as a power worth Ukiug into account. Pleasing as this is it is a sort of hoi low friendship unless backed by the ap preciation of the people of Europe of wbat the United States and its people stand for. The only lasting national friendships are baBed upon tbe respect and admiration of one people for anoth er and a more or less thorough under standing of each other. That Ameri cans and American ideals and traits are misunderstood and disliked by tbe en tire continent there are too many recent proofs to permit the hope tbat the pres ent diplomatic flirtations express popu lar feeeling toward us. When Europe baB discovered tbat Chicago is not an Indian village, that Seattle is not a su burb of Mew York, that the American tourist is inclined to be facetious, tbat American commercialism rests on a more worthy basis than mere sordid nes8, and that we are not a nation of land-grabbers and hypocrites, and when it has rid itself of some other sapetBti tutions it may begin to really respect us.

During tbe year ending September 30, 1901, there were Bhipped out of the state of Iowa 89,806,645 pounds of butter, a Those who have gone into the* extreme net increase of 4,425,930 pounds over dry sections of the north and west may be sreitlv disappointed In the near fu ture.—Cedar Rapfds Republican. It is a remarkable condition of thinpB that the United States, which is able to produce refined sagar enough to supply all the markets of the world, and do ft in competition with any sugar-produc ing country on the face of the globe, should be afraid to let down the bars and ndmit Cuban sugar free! Afraid of Cnhan competition! This republic with thirty Etates, either one of which can produce more sugar than cart Cuba, and do it cheaper than Cuba can, afraid of Cuban sugar! This country can man ufacture sugar and sell it to the Cuban planter cheaper than he can produce it in h1« own door-yard.—Independence Conservative. the year previous. These figures have been given out by the state dairy com missloner and will form a part of his annual report. They w'll prove sur prise to many dairymen who have been predicting that the butter shipments in Iowa during the past year would fall away, Tbe large increase over the year 1900 Is attributed by the state dairy commissioner largely to the rapid growth in tbe manufacture of process butter in the state. During tbe past year process butter factories have sprung up over the state very rapidly. Nearly all of the butter which is received by these factories and worked over comes from outside the state, so that the butter shipments as listed by the dairy commissioner do not represent the actual number of pounds manufactured in Iowa. The above fig ures represent the gross number of pounds shipped out of the state. The net shipments for the past year were 75,437.582 ponnds. In 1900 the net ship ments were 71,719,329 pounds. Reckoning on this basis there were shipped out of the state 1,437 pounds of butter per square mile during tbe year 1901. During the previous year the shipments averaged 1,280 pounds per square mile, making an increase for this year of 67 pounds per square mile. Comparing Milk. The Maryland Station has recently conducted a series of experiments for the purpose of testing the comparative digestibility of raw, pasteurized, and cooked milk. We bave not time nor space to enter into tbe subject fully but content ourselves with giving the conclusions drawn by tbe station, which perhaps in tbe present lack of interest In dairying, due to good times, is about all that our readers will care for. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Raw milk is more easily digested when fed to calves than either pasteur ized or cooked milk. 2. Contrary to theary, cooked milk when fed to the calveB used in these experiments caused violent scouring in the majority of trials. 3. A majority of physicians in charge of children's hospitals corres ponded with favored tbe use of raw milk for infants when the milk is known to be in perfect condition, but favored pasteurized miik under ordi nary conditions. 4. With one excep tion all tbe physicians corresponded with discourage the use of cooked or Bterilized milk for infant feeding. 5. Skimmilk was ")und to be as digestible as wbole raw milk. It should be said in this connection that by cooked milk ts not meant warmed milk, uniformly recommended for calves. Warming up to the tem perature of milk when drawn from the cow is meant, and that is not cooking it.—Wallace's Farmer. Care of Cattle. The rules for taking care of tbe cows are so few and simple that we wonder why we should repeat them each year, but each ye^r we see so many who do not practice tbem, that we cannot refrain, hoping that we may reform some of them. One of tbe first re quisites 1b a warm barn, not only for the comfort of the cows, but for tbe profit of the owners. When we think of some of the bams we knew when a hoy, where the snow blew in through the cracks behind the animals, and their tails were, perhaps, frozen down into the mannre, we do not wonder tbat farmers thought they were "tail sick" in the spring, or had a "wolf" in the tail. Luckily there are not man such barns now, for the farmers have learned that it took good corn meal to keep up the heat of the system, and that was more expensive tbBn shingle, and as tbe cold grew inside tbe barn tbe milk yield de creased. If those barns remain the cracks have been covered, and perhaps our modern barns now err in the other extreme, of being too tightly closed as to lack sufficient'ventilation, a fault that can be remedied by the use of ven tilation tubes from near the floor be hind the animals to some point where tbey can carry out tbe foul air above the hay. Another point Is a comfortable bed, to protect them from cold, the bard and often cold floors. Of course good food and enongb of it IB necessary, but tbat IB not all. The food should be varied in such propor tions BB to make what is called a bal anced ration. Enough grain so mixed with the rough fodder as to keep tbe proportion of protien to carbohydrates at about one to five, but BO much de pends upon the breed, and more upon the animal and its condition, that there can be no exact rule given as to tbe best mixtures or tbe exact amount. Any farmer can get from the experi ment station bulletins giving tables of the value of feeding stuffs, and figure out rations for Mb animals to suit himself, watching the results and varying them BB he finds It necessary. After food natursliy comes water* This should always be pure and clean, and with the improved tank beaters it In tbe meantime none of us are costs but little to keep tbe water warm, likely to lie awake nights.—St. Paul and the stockman who does not do this Fionew frees. Mc 1 Is behind tbe times and is not handling "I MAR* his stock to the best advantage. A few more general rules mBy beadd ed to these. Always feed at regular hours. To stand watching and wait ing for food that should have been readj before is conducive only to worry aad that dn^s not make milk or put on fat. Feed no more than can be eaten, Hud if any ia left, clean the troughs or mangers as eonu hb they seem to hBve had enough la the Bhort days of win ter two good feeds a day have been found better than three. Do not feed before daylight or after dark, and do not disturt them during the night un less the burn is on fire. When wb say regular hours, we do not mean by the clock, for the cows have no clock and measure the day by the amount of day light. They want the hours of dark ness for Bleep or rest They will be the better for a carding and brushing every day, not only for cleanliness sake, but it puts the blood in circulation and in vigorates them. Always treat them kindly and gently, because kindness Is a good Investment. Follow these rules, and there will be but l'ttle use for vet erinarians or cow doctors.-Farmers' Tribune. Many of the islands of the western Pacific have in their streams nud lakes largo numbers of eels of immense size which seldom are used as food by the natives, who seem to have a horror of the snakelike creatures. The eels of Strong's island, one ot the Caroline group, are peculiar in that they hiber nate roguUtly and seek for their place of hibernation the loftiest places which tbey can find. These eels sometimes will climb mountains 2,000 feet high and select tbe summit as the place for their win ter's rest. They select or make a de pression in the soft, moss covered soil and lit themselves into It snugly, re maining for months at a time abso lutely motionless and Inert. Sometimes the eels are covered with moss or vege table debris and at other times tbey are found exposed to view with their broad, flat heads doubled baqk upon their bodies. After their season of rest upon the mountain tops tbe eels wriggle their way down to the val leys and, plunging into the rivers and lakes, begin to feed upon the craw fish, for which crustacean they bave a fondness which is shared by tbe na tives. These eels are excellent eating, but nothing will induce tbe natives to touch tbem, alive or dead. Relieved. It was along ride through a desolate and dangerous country, and the politi cian sought to relieve the monotony by philosophic musings on his recent vic tory emfrfirniFctmfutts that even success brings. "Hold up your hands!". The stagecoach gnre in'rcn and stopped. The ray of light that shot in to the vehicle turned the spattering rain into myriads of evanescent gcm9.

"They are yours." must say you're good natured any how," said one of the highwaymen. "Not at all. Are you sure that's all yon desire?" "What in thunder did you think we wanted?" "X was afraid"—and the politician's voice trembled a little—"you wanted an office!"—Philadelphia North Ameri can. Inaect Peats In Brnsll. I should take small gang of prac tical coffee planters from Ceylon with good digestious to be not afraid of chigoes, ticks and Berne flies, to say nothing of the dear little mosquito. The writer had extracted during four years in Brazil no less than 200 chig oes from underneath every toe nail of both feet. Of all the vile insects on earth the Berne liy is the worst. She lays her eggs inside your flesh and hatches three very ugly Insects an inch long with three rings of bristles round the body and with sharp nippers. They take about six weeks to develop un der your skin, then commence to turn somersaults just when you want to go to sleep after a hard day's work in the sun. The natives of Brazil adopt a novel way of extracting the brute when full grown. They tie on apiece of raw pork and the Berne comes out of your skin and takes a header into the piece of pigskin.—Ceylon Observer. Li Hung Chang's "Souvenir," When Li Hung Chang was in Paris, he went to visit the Credit Lyonnais and showed lively interest In its hails, Its stairs, its safes and the room where the bonds of the last city of Paris loan are kept. Me was tfrst shown bonds of 500 francs and 1,000 francs and then of 5,000 francs. Taking them in his hands, he serutiulzed them, exclaiming frequently. "Joil, juli!" Then be finally thrust them in his pocket, saying, "Souvenir de Paris!" The governor of the Credit Lyonnais went to the min ister of foreign a Hairs with a list of the bonds aud asked'what he was to do. It was agreed that it would not do to ask Li to give them uji. and the foreign office refunded his "souveuir de Paris!" Firearms lti Russia.
