WASHINGTON.

The Administration is not devoting
any time to the consideration OF the an
swer of the new Spanish Ministry to
Minister Woodford's proposition, the
full text of which is now on its way to
Washington, because the substance OF
it has been known for some time and 1t
has been fully determined to grant the
new Spanish Minister a reasonable time
in which to try to put its new policy in
to effect in Cuba. The only thing that
may change this programme is the man
ner in which the Spanish reply deals
with the efforts which have been made
by this Gove1ament to prevent the de-
parture of filibustering parties for
Cuba. If the tone of the answer is
what Spanish publications have indi-
Gated it to be, it will be promptly re-
sented by the Administration. More
than s.. 900, 600 has been spent by this
Government in efforts to prevent fill
clustering and to live up to its inter
national obligations to Spain. and no
intimation that the Government has
been negligent will be tolerated. 1t is
thought that such talk appeared in the
Spanish papers solely for its effect at
home, and that nothing of the sort will
be found in the official communication.
When a really good idea is made
l~poxxy,, ~ a n x,a,.o o,a paranp of iptal1iUapoa
wonders why it has not been thought of
before. An idea of that kind was laid
before the Cabinet by Secretary Gage
and at once met with general approval.
The Government issues three kinds of
paper money. and the notes of each de-
nomination of each series have different
designs, which are not only confusing,
and which are taken advantage of by
that class of swindlers who make prac-
tice of raising notes and passing them in
crowded places or upon ignorant and
unsuspecting persons. Secretary Cages
idea is to adopt one design for all the
notes of the same value of the three
kinds of notes issued, and to make that
design so simple and distinctive that il
will be impossible to mistake one-dol
lar note for ten; or two for twenty,
etc. The change, which will prob
ably be put into effect as soon
az the necessary plates can
be- prepared, will be welcomed by
the handlers of money in banks and
business establishments, to whom the
pictorial silver certificates now in use
are source of much worry.

Counting The Cost.

Have you ever calculated how
much is saved in the long run by
having your clothing made by
tailors who know their business?
You get better goods, more care
full workmanship and the Ct and
style are worth a great deal.
It's a satisfaction to wear first
class, well made clothes. and then
it's economical as well. Clothes
that fit, wear longer, look better
and are more satisfactory to the
wearer. Those who wear our
garments appreciate this.
Stop and calculate. Do you
wear tailor-made ciothes2 In
that case you have garments that
last longer, wear better and suit
you more completely than any
other Every garment is made in
the best style. No accidental
fits. No disgraceful effects. 1t
is cheaper to wear custom clothes
than any others. Fail styles on
display.

Dairy and Creamery.

Two hundred cows will keep a cream
cry going if they can furnish 1000
pounds of milk daily. Five hundred
COWS would not suffice for it unless
they yielded that much In considering
the question of starting creamery you
must find out whether the cows within
reach are able to give 1000 pounds of
milk per day. Listen not to the honeyed
words of the creamery shark who wants
to sell machinery Take counsel rather
of the inner light of your own common
sense.
A little New York Jersey heifer less
than IA months old last winter dropped
fine bull calf and is giving plenty of
milk
A creamery cannot be made to pay
that only runs eight months year. The
best system is that which takes up
cheesemaking in summer and butter
making i'll winter.
From $4,000 to So, 500 will be re-
quired to build and start creamery.
1t is poor time now to start in the
creamery business except in localities
where there are plenty Of dairy cows
and no creamery already upon the
ground. The prices of dairy products are
low, and the risk of new creamery is
great. It is best at present to bring
those already established up to the high
est efficiency.

Think, just put your thinking appa-

feeding, improved methods of economy,
improved ways of selling your stock
Do all this cautiously, watch results
carefully. If you put the same amount
of thought and hustle into stock raising
that the merchant does into selling
goods, you will come out on top, and
your business will be on surer founda-
ton than the merchants.

faucet worked by the iron lever, D G.
The small iron rod. G C, connects this
lever with the lever of the float. To
the right of C the lever of the float
swings on pivot fastened to the back
side of the tank. To the left of C is the
hollow copper globe about inches in
diameter, attached to the end of the
lever. The action is as follows: When
the water is used down in the tank the
copper globe falls with the receding
water, pushes down G, the end of the
faucet lever and opens the faucet, and
the water from the cistern rushes into
the tank and lifts the globe and gradu-
ally closes the faucet or cutoff. When
the globe reaches the position shown
in the cut it has shut the faucet tight,
the tank is four inches from full and
no more water can come in though the
water level in the cistern may be five
feet higher. The lid of the tank (not
shown in cut) is closed in cold weather
to prevent possible freezing. It is a
very handy watering arrangement and
has worked perfectly for nearly quar-
ter of a century, requiring no fixing of

GROEND PLAN.


of the plan worthy of attentive consid-
Grafton The extra cost will be incon-
siderable and the resulting benefit quite
perceptible.
The ground plan is fully self explana-
tory, the broken lines at the bottom in
dicating the place where a tread power
may be located i'll case steam is not used
The craftsman has specified one of the
combined churns and butter workers, as
this is the latest demand of our progress
sive butter makers. 1t is by 10 means
indispensable, and separate machines
for these purposes may be substituted.
In the matter of construction regard
should be had to keeping out the cold in
winter and the heat i'll summer. To this
end it is well to provide at least two
dead air spaces, and every mechanic
worthy of the name knows how to do
this by using building paper. This may
be done without increasing the thickness
of the walls, but we should prefer to
curtail the inside dimensions somewhat
and make the outside walls ten inches
instead of six.
We believe it better to have sepa-
rate building for an icchouse. These
structures go to decay very rapidly and
are never quite free from filth.
Build a fireplace at the bottom of the
f1ue opening into the main room and
also leave an opening near the ceiling, to
which fit a register that may be opened
or closed at pleasure. This will in a
measure obviate the necessity for build
ing the cupola. The latter, however,
adds to the symmetry of the building,
and, if connected with the room below
by fiue leading to it, will not be
wholly unserviceable.
