pump about IS inches below it's dis
charge spout, and should enter the
tank at the top. Every time the pump
is used there will gallon or more flow
into the tank, depending upon the bore
of the pump, the size Of the pipe and
sthe length of time the pump is used.
The hotter the weather, the more
pumping is done, as rule, and the
cooler the water will be kept in the
tank.
The tank must have an outlet at the
opposite end from which the feed pipe
enters, and little larger than the feed
pipe. This outlet must be about two
inches lower than the top of the cans.
The water should always be q little
higher than the milk.
If it is possible to utilize the waste
water for stock it should be done. It
will save that much extra pumping. In
our case it is conveyed through an I'M
derground pipe CO. into the barn base

horses as needed.

pumped into a reservoir or trough at A.

adopted it will be found very satisfac-

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Bill Recently introduced In Congress Pro-
vides for One.

Bill Recently Introduced In Congress Pro-
vides for One.
A bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives and referred
to the committee on appropriations for
the creation of a special commission on
highways. 1t provides that one SEN
ator, two representatives, the chief OF
engineers of the army, the director of
the geological survey and the chief Of
road inquiry OF the department OF agri-
culture shall constitute q commission
to continue during the life of the pres
ent congress, to make reports by bill or
otherwise, and to inquire generally how
the government may promote the i'm
provement of highways by the scien-
tific location of roads on the public do
main, the employment of the geological
survey in the discovery of road ma
terials, the free testing Of road ma
terials, the construction of model roads
and instruction in roadmaking at agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tons, the military academy, and. when
practicable at all institutions having a
military instructor. The commission
is also to confer with the interstate
commerce commission and with rail-
way officials to secure reduced rates for
the transportation of road materials,
and by conference with state authorl-
ties and organizations to aid in awaken
ing general interest in road improve
mcnt.
It is not the function Of the national
government to undertake the construc-
ton of wagon roads in the states, but
Mr.. Crisp's objection, made four years
ago, that it is an infringement of state
rights to inquire into the condition of
roads in the states and to encourage
their betterment, is not worthy of seri-
GUS cOnSidera ton The educational en-
terprises of the federal government
have gone too far for the revival of the
cid internal improvements controversy
of 20 years ago, and it is not proposed to
repeat the experiment Of those times
and build post roads through the states
with national revenue The efforts of
the department of agriculture to pro-
mote local prosperity and distribute
useful information are as revolutionary
as the modest proposal that the govern
ment encourage road building. If this
may not be done, the Smithsonian insti-
tuition should be careful not to infringe
on state prerogativeS i'll scientific re-
search. The bill before the house de-
Dlands no large outlay. 1t simply APP
propriates $40, 1OO.o5, being the amount
returned to the treasury unexpended
from the last two years appropriations
for road inquiry. The Office Of road i'll
quiry of the department of agriculture
has done valuable work in circulating
information regarding Improvements in
different states and hints on methods
of construction and repair available un-
der varying conditions. It is believed
by those who are doing the chief work
for improved highways that the pro-
posed commission would be a valuable
aid in the enterprise, and their opinion
is entitled to consideration.-N. Y.

POSITION OF Mr.. cARLlsLE.
The Right Thing Said and In the Right


L
Place.
The attitude taken by Mr.. Carlisle
in his letter to friend concerning his
possible nomination for the presidency
is worthy of the man. The secretary
of the treasury is charged with some
of the most important duties resting
upon this administration. He could
not, without neglecting these, enter into
a rough and tumble struggle for the
presidential nomination. In this re-
spect, he sets worthy example to
those senators and Representatives
whose custom it has been to absent
themselves from Washington for weeks
while congress is in session in order to
secure their own denomination. In the
next place, Mr.. Carlisle is rightly con-
cerned far more about the declaration
Of principles of the democratic party
than about it's candidate. A mistake
in selecting a leader may be rectified.
Its consequences are but temporary.
But a mistake in a party platform
reaches far into the future, and re-
mains an embarrassment and a source
Of weakness to that party until gen
grafton arises that has had time to
forget the blunder.
In the present instance, a false step
would be more than unfortunate; it
would be fatal. The failure of the
democratic party to declare for sound
money and against silver monometal-
lism in it's national convention this
year would mean, must mean, party
disintegration and the absorption OF
democracy by populism. It is the eX-
istence and not merely the success or
defeat of the democratic party that
is at stake. Therefore, Mr.. Carlisle acts
the patriot and the loyal democrat
when he sets this issue in the fore
front and subordinates to it any per-
sonal ambition that he may entertain.

The above is quoted from the news
columns of one of the most rabid and
insistent newspaper champions OF pro
lection. 1t carries its own argument
These gentlemen met at the finest hote:
in the world. and decided to increase
the cost of steel to the builders of all
structures in which these billets are
used by 17h per cent No one who
observes building operations in the
large cities can fail TO understand how
Cumbersome this will be upon con-
tractors and builders. There will be a
crowding of expenses in other direc-
lions, and the workingmen will not
reap any advantage. Upon all grades
of men, from the housesmith to the
tenant who occupies the completed
building, the representatives of $780,
G0O,O0 of capital have made levy of
171s per cent.
This is of special Importance just
n.sw because of the political relations
of these gentlemen. The present tariff
on the products they control is 35 per
cent This tariff enables them to COM
bine and raise the price three dollars
ton higher than the competitive level.
But not satisfied with this enormous
advantage, they are investing their
money in a presidential campaign, in
the hope of securing a still greater
advantage over the consumers of the
goods they make. The trusts and pro-
tected manufacturers are not investing
their money in a republican candidate

Very Profitable Combination.

There is great profit in a wise COM
bination of the swine and cows. There
is much waste of milk which cannot be
used on the farm in any other way.
The milk adds variety to the food of
the hogs and tends to afford a balanced
ration. No food is more palatable to
the pigs than milk. A vigorous diges-
ton is promoted and q disposition to
take on flesh is extended. For shoats
tue sour milk is especially appropriate.
In the estimation of some practical
feeders whose conclusions are to be
respected, the acid in the sour milk for
the older pigs-those more than four
months old-s particularly valuable
and equivalent to using cooked food
in many instances.-Western Rural.

Some one asked for plans for home

It is simple, convenient, durable and

Any kind of cans can be used. Com
mon cans, holding IA quarts, can be had
of a timer for about rs cents, with
cover. Have them made to order, with

of this description, SIC inches in diam

31a gallons. It is a nice size. convent

preferable to an oblong can.
To accommodate four cans of this
size the tank ought to be about AXIS
inches inside, and Is inches deep. By
making it 20 inches longer it will hold
two extra cans, and it will be a good
place in which to keep the cream cans
in hot weather. The additional cost
will be but little.

it can be made of lighter boards and

have tight-fitting hinged cover, and if
unprotected from the direct rays of the

be placed near the pump, and be con-

First of all, let the fight be made for
sound-money principles, and candidates
will not be lacking.
There is not word in Mr.. Carlisle's
letter, of course, from beginning to
end, which can be construed as a
definite refusal to accept a nomination
under any circumstances. 1t is not
believed that he would. All that he
has said is that he does not wish to
obscure issues or divide forces in his
party until its attitude on the cur
rency question shall have been definite
ly determined; and that he does not
propose either to slight the duties of his
high office, or to use, as his predeces-
sors have done, it's great patronage in
order to force himself upon his party
as its presidential candidate. In both
of these positions Mr.. Carlisle COM
mends himself to his party and to the
country as a high-minded, honorable.
old-fashioned democrat, worthy to bear
the name and to be the chosen leader
of his party if it should SO declare.
He has said the right thing in the
right place, and the whole country
respects and admires him for it.-St.
