Our experience is against weaving
pigs other than to let nature take its
course. 1t is almost impossible to pre-
vent them from receiving q check II
weaned at seven or eight weeks old, as
some advise. You will not only check the
growth of the pig, but it seems great
injury would result to the sow. No one
would take calf from it's mother, re-
frain from milking her, and then ex-
pect the cow to escape without injury,
and surely sow must be something like
a cow. Teach the pigs to eat at as early
an age as possible, gradually increase
the feed until about two months of
age, giving as much butter, or skim
milk, as they will take along with what
grain they get, and weaving will not
be hurtful to either the pig or dam.
More loss Of growth is incurred right
here than at any period Of the pigs
life. If you must wean them at an
early age, don't do it suddenly.-South-
ern Swineherd.

seems always room for one more, no

good cows, feed them well, make gilt
edge butter, and furnish it to the same
customers year after year, at fixed
price satisfactory to the consumer and
profitable to the producer. Mr.. Ander-
UOn always makes pork from skimmflk,
and snaps his fingers at hard times.
The silo has foundation of stone,
surrounded by two foot hollow walls,
four feet high, inclosing a circular
space ten feet in diameter, with a
smoothly cemented surface inside. On
top of the wall, flush with its inner sur
face, 4x4-inch sills are placed. The
sills are made felloe-like, to coin
eide with the curvature of the wall, and
consist Of two two-inch plank doubled,
so as to break joints. On these sills,
held by toe-nailing, stands the bottom

clamps and six-inch take-up screws, for

the slaves. The door openings are two
feet wide and continuous up and down,
except eight inches of slaves at the

nailed to curved cleats and hung out

double course of bin boards, with paper

Dumping Car for the Barn.

One of the greatest contrivances /
have yet seen for cleaning out barn
Is found in the barn of a neighbOr who
does not believe In piling manure up
against the side Of the building, as is
so often observed on some farms. He
has track similar to the one on which
the hay carrier runs, and it extends the
entire length of the barn in the rear Of
the stalls and some distance outside of
the building. A dumping car is swung
on this track which will hold almost
wagon load of manure. 1t is wheeled
along behind the stalls where needed
and when filed is pushed out on the
track to the manure pen and dumped.
This contrivance has not cost great
deal, and it is very great conven-
jence.-Rural World.

replied that the position of this gov

ditional sympathy with a people strug-
Cling for autonomy and freedom. but,
nevertheless, this government felt it to
be its plain duty to honestly fulfil
every international obligation.
The president further said that every
precaution had been take so that, if
occasion should arise in Cuba. the
United States could assert itself with
force; but he did not think that occa-
sion would arise.

spoken, and expressed his individual
opinion that some authoritative state
ment should be made to put an end To

On Secretary Bayard'S advice the
controversy which involves a large and
valuable tract of the American 18TH
mus, was referred to Spain for delim-
itation, that monarchy being at the
time engaged in demanding a boundary
line between Venezuela and Colombia.
The Spanish government, while ac-
cedlng to the request deferred taking
up the Costa Rican case until it could
complete the Venezuelan Colombian
case, which involved considerable
work. In the delay, Costa Rica made
considerable grants to a New Jersey
company for a road from Bacos del
Toro to the interior, with grants of
lands, besides awarding to the Pana-
ma Canal company over million acres
located wholly within the limits siren
uously claimed by the South Amer
lean republic. In the resulting fric-
ton, Colombia claimed that the time
within Which Spain should have acted
on the boundary question had expired
and in 1891 withdrew from its treaty.

urged both countries to submit the
matter to impartial adjudication. and

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Dow, Jones

gave out the following statement yes
terday:
a foreign banker, with the best
sources of information, tells us that
all the prominent bankers in Europe
have decided not to loan Spain any
further money to prosecute the fight in
Cuba. He thinks that the Cuban war
will come to an end soon for lack of
funds to prosecute it. The European
markets are more or less demoralized
by the great fall in Spanish securities,
particularly in Paris, where Spanish
credit has been terminated. He con-
cludes that if European bankers will
not furnish Spain with money for a
domestic rebellion in Cuba they would
certainly not furnish Spain with money
for war against the United States.

NEW YORK. Nov. ia Sun special
from Key West says:
General Weyler, acting under instruc-
tons from the home government in
Madrid to proceed to the front, imme-
diately left for Mariel by sea. After ar
irving at Mariel he crossed the trocha
and proceeded to Guanajaya, where he
placed himself at the head of the Spanish
forces and marched into the interior
with 25,OC0 men. where he took the fed
as commander-in-chief of the combined
forces under Generals Arolas, NunOS,
Aguila and Echague.
An attack was made on Maceo's camp,
strongly fortified in the hills of Pinar
Del Rio. General Maceo had been notified
of the coming attack by his lieutenantS
Del Cado and Diaz, and their advance
guards. Maceo Immediately prepared to
give the attacking column a warm re-
ception.
General Echague attacked Maceo on the
right, General Melguizo attacking the
stronghold from the left General AIaceo
had 500 sharpshooters with him who
singled out the Spanish generals, Echague
ana Meleuize, and shot them down.
General Weyler, it is reported, was
slightly wounded in the leg. This battle
lasted several hours. and heavy losses
are reported on both sides. Maceo sue
ceeded in routing Weyler and his troops.
The loss of two Spanish generals had
the desired effect and they made hasty
retreat.
The result of this battle has caused
great excitement in Havana, and strong
protests have been forwarded to the home
government against the retention of Gen
eral Weyler as captain-general of Cuba
by some OF the Spanish citizens of the
island
The report that General Maceo has left
his forces and gone to Maxine Gomez
is without foundation He is still with
his forces in the Pinar Del Rio district
at his stronghold. General Neyler is
expected home at his palace momentarily
Rumor has It that he will at once be
recalled by the home government
The above version of the first conflict
between General Weyler's troops and the
insurgents under Maceo differs material
ly from General Weyler's official report
as cabled from Havana in which he
claimed a victory.

ACADIA GOES ASHORE.

SAULT STE MARIE, Nov. 13.-Cap-
tain John Clifford of the propeller
Acadia, which left Fort William, Ont,
November 4, and which was long
overdue at this port, reached here
in sailboat late this afternoon. He
reports that the Acadia went ashore on
Micihipicoten Island, in a binding
snowstorm and heavy gale on Thurs
day, November 8, when she was about
"a hours out from Fort William. All
of the crew reached shore in safety, and
Captain Clifford reports all well. The
Acadia is a total wreck, however. She
had cargo of $4,000 bushels of wheat,
besides some miscellaneous freight. She
was valued at $4,000, and both vessel
and cargo are insured
