When Castillo carried this reply to
Garcia, the latter withdrew his forces
as allies and sent in his resignation.
Castillo was noted leader of Cuban
expeditions against the Spanish before
the war broke out and is very popular.
He is also doctor and has brother,
Demetrius, in the Cuban army. Cas-
tillo was born in the province of San
tiago de Cuba, but came to the United
States at the age of ten with his
parents. He was educated in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and was grad
uated an M. d. from the medical school
of that institution. From 1880 to 1882
he served in the American navy as as
sistant surgeon, and sailed on the Rod
gers, under Capt, Berry, when that
ship was dispatched on the Jeanette
relief expedition. DR.. Castillo was one
of the party that Travelled to KAN
chatlla, and finally reached Sitka in a
schooner. When the doctor resigned
from the navy he married and returned
to Santiago, where he soon worked up
a capital practice as physician.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The cellar in which butter and milk
is kept must be dry and well ven
tilated.
If the average herd of cows should
be tested one, two, three or more
would be found Improbable.
If you are making the dairy promi-
nent on the farm, you should have ice,
a milk house and a separator,
Simply because COW is scrub,
we say once more, is no reason to dis
card her She may be a fine COW.
But she cannot be depended upon to
reproduce herself.
If you have a clay, solid soil, dig a
hole and put the green corn into it
whole. 1t is slovenly way to make
ensilage, but better than nothing. The
ensilage must be covered.
Nothing is more important than to
accustom the heifer to being handled.
Handle her all over. Accustom her
to the touch of the hand. 1t will great
ly help breaking her to milking.
Keep good cows or none. The poor
COW eats feed without giving the re-
turns that good COW would. You
throw away both labor and feed with
such a cow.-Western Plowman.

OFFICIAL MAP OF THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO.

smaller Notifications. Ponce, on the
south coast, is about half the size of
San Juan, and there are numerous
smaller towns and villages. Puerto
Rico is traversed by 10 highways and
IS side roads; it has less than 1O0miles
of narrow gauge railroad, and only
about 45O miles of telegraph lines.
San Juan is connected with Jamaica
and St. Thomas by cable.
Puerto Rico was discovered by Co
lumbus in November, 1893 on his sec
ond voyage to America. San Juan was
founded by Ponce de Leon in 1911. The
native inhabitants, as in Cuba, were en-
shaved and finally eXterminatcd; negro
slavery was then established and con-
tinued until 1873. SPANS sovereignty
in Puerto Rico has remained undis-
turbed except for attacks by the Eng
fish in 1905, 1898, 1878 and 1907, none of
which produced permanent results,
and n revolution of the inhabitants
themselves in 1920, which was sup
pressed in 1929. The system of govern
ment is like that in Cuba, and equally
burdensome. The revenues are ex-
pended almost wholly for Spanish pur-
poses; in recent annual budget. for
instance, pensions, interest on Spanish
debt and salaries of colonial officers
living in Spain consumed S735, 02s.S0;
the courts, and expenses Of the estab-
lished Catholic church, $37s, 740.50; in
crease of Spanish navy, $3.50, 1906;
public works, scr, 214O2; civil govern
ment, $71O,315.26; while Puerto Rico
had to contribute S1,C66, $3.50 towards
SPANS war expenses in Cuba and the
Philippines.
Puerto Rico is so much smaller than
either Cuba or the Philippines that the
social and political disadvantages of
permanently attaching it to this coun-
try would not, perhaps, be serious, and
might be over-balanced by the strate-
gle value of the island as a coaling
station and naval rendezvous. The
Philippines might be disposed of to
some European power, or to Japan,
but with Puerto Rico the case is differ
ent. When any American colony once
passes out of European control it
ought to remain out; either it should
have an independent government of
it's own or come under the controlling
influence of some already existing
American republic,
The chief danger in annexing Puerto
Rico to the United States is the i'm
petus such a step gives to similar ac-
tion in reference to other territory
whose incorporation in the union
would be a positive detriment and

COMFORTABLE STALLS.
A System by Which Each Cow Is Pro-
tccted from Possible Injury
When Lying Down,

There is excellence in the plan of
tying cows over the stanchion plan, as
shown herewith. The cow has 3h feet
in width of stall, and perfect liberty
and comfort of position. Because of
the bar across the stall floor, shown
just forward of the hind feet of the
standing COW, the animal has always a
dry, clean bed to lie in, thus keeping
her as clean from manure in winter
as though she was in June pasture,
BY this system each COW is protected
while lying down from having her
teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor, This is one of the
most productive sources of injury that
is known, and of itself should condemn
the rigid stanchion.
A closely-boarded partition about
four feet high forms the front of the
stall, Each COW has space 31s feet in
width. The floor is made tight, and
there is no drop in rear of the COWS, eX-
cept the thickness of one plank, which
is the double floor of the stall. The
style of feeding rack secures two pur-
poses. 1t contains hay or roughage,
and Stats are placed wide enough so
the COW can get her head between
them. Their slant forces the COW when
erect to stand with her hind feet in
rear of the cross-bar across the stall
floor. In making the feed rack, nail

a piece of two by eight-inch scantling
edgewise against the board partition,
This makes the bottom of the rack ana
should be placed 30 inches from the
floor. Place the top scantling about
two feet from the partition, This
makes the rack eight inches in width
at bottom and two feet at top. In
center of bottom scantling fasten a
ring screw to tie the halter to. Fasten
the COW with a common web halter,
she wearing the headpiece all the
time. The halter end of the rope has
safety snap to fasten into the ring
Of the halter and under the throat.
The grain and ensi!age box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to- the
one the COW usually lies on. The box
is for grain and ensilage and is reached
by an opening in the partition. Place
the box slanting and the feed will cas-
lily work down TO the lower end next
the COW. In placing the bar across
the stall bring the cows head square
ly up against the feeding rack; then
just forward of her hind feet nail down
two by three scantling. Fill the
space forward of the bar with bedding,
which, being without waste, will last
till nearly worn out.-EX-Gov. w. d..
Hoard, in Farm and Home.

With the closing of the war and the
Spanish acceptance of our peace con-
ditions, the last vestige Of Spanish
domination disappears from the west
'ern hemisphere. A writer in Gun
toms Magazine, in an article on
Puerto Rico, gives an interesting de-
scripton of the island and shows how
her various possessions gradually
threw off the yoke of SPANS misrule.
Four hundred years ago Spain was
on the threshold of period of terri
torial expansion. Within few dec
AIDES after the voyages of Columbus
SPANS dominion included--nominally
at least, and in many cases actually
the greater part of South and Central
America, the West Indies, Florida, Mex
dco, the gulf region andpart Of our Pa
.cific coast. twas during thisperiod also
that the Philippines and the Canary
islands came under Spanish rule, For
two centuries this wide empire re-
manned practically intact, and then
began the shrinkage which has since
been steadily reducing SPANS ter
ritory towards its old peninsular linn
tits. Jamaica first was wrested from
Spain by the British in 1865; part of
-Hayti was coded to France in 1897, and
the whole island became independent
in the early part of the present cen
fury; the Bahama islands came def
nitcly under British authority about

,ezucla, Argentina and Paraguay
achieved their independence, and dur
ing the next decade (1s20-1S30) Mexico,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Uru-
quay threw off the Spanish yoke, Flor
ida was coded by Spain to the United
States in 1921.
After an interval of nearly three
quarters Of century this curtailment
of Spanish colonial power is now about
to be completed in the conquest of
Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and
even one of the Ladrone islands by the
UNITED States.

THE CHEESE BUSINESS.
A Good Thing for some, hut Not for
the Man Who Supplies the
Factory with MIX.

There are two points about the
cheese business that are worthy of
note Dairying always follows after
a long series of years Of grain crop
ping, which sooner or later impover-
ishes the soil and brings to want the
man who INDUCES in the luxury Of
riding a gang pillow and seeder in the
spring and binder at harvest, says
Farm, Stock and Home, and has no
time to milk cows. He then turns
to the dairy to recoup his resources.
IL he takes his milk to the cheese fac
tory it is a question whether he will
realize in dollars and cents as much
as he would IL he took his milk to a
creamery, But one thing is certain,
for every ton of cheese he furnishes
the milk for he removes $50 of fertility
from his soil. If he takes his milk to
a creamery he will have the skim
milk to feed TO calves and pigs, and
thus remove only so cents worth of fer
tility for every ton of butter. Then
when his cheese is ready for market,
which is in from three to six weeks
he is dependent upon some cheese buy
err to relieve him of the accumulated
product at such prices as the buyer
is willing to pay, for the bulk must
go into storage for ripening and await
favorable market, which may not
materialize, and the buyer must take
into account these pmorpen cias when
he names price at which he is will
ing to take his chances with the tickle
cheese market. If his dairy product
is butter the market is ever ready to
take it at ruling prices, for il goes
into consumption at cnce. 1t will be
well, therefore, for the northwestern
farmer to stand by the cooperative
creamery, which has always brought
good and quick return, left him inde-
pendent of the buyer, and added fertil-
ity to his soil.

One of the most refreshing drinks
for hot weather is cool buttermilk,
drawn just after the cream has been
churned. 1t is nutritious drink, and
the slight acidity which it has, if made
from ripened, that is, sour cream,
makes it easier to digest than fresh
new milk. In some cities huttermilk
is kept for sale at restaurants, and
there are enough city men who were
brought up in the country to create
a good demand for buttermilk, even

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
some Convincing Testimony Which
Comes to Us All the Way
from Australia.

Testimony OH the value of wide tires
comes from all sections of the globe.
A correspondent of paper in Sydney,
Australia, describes road in which
heavily-laden wagons with narrow
tires sank 'half-spoke deep, and in
places to their wheel hubs" and yet
load of five tons, carried ON six-inch
tires sank but two to four inches in
the worst places. In dry weather he
says the roads are cut up by narrow
tires until the dust is foot deep, and
then the rain will not make the dust
set hard again.
A good material for roads is gravel,
"but no gravel roads will carry loads
of ten or twelve tons on three-inch and
four-inch tires. An experienced team
ster will not speak of the tonnage his
team can draw. He will say: L think
the road viii carry five tons, OF more,
as the case might be. I have heard
road superintendent say that enor-
nous sums of money could be saved an
nually if broad tires were used. The
only objection l have heard raised
against wide tires is that they do not
fit into the ruts cut by the narrow
ones, which makes the draught heavier
upon the team. That is partly true;
but the ruts would not be cut if all
the wagons had wide tires. Portable
engines varying from six to eight
horsp-Dowar and ueiUhipor five TONS
and over, are drawn by lighter teams
than wagons which, with their loads,
would not weigh more. This is owing
to the broad tires always used on en-
gines. The ash pans on engines are sell
dom more than about ten inches from
the ground; but owing to the wide
tires these engines seldom bog deep
enough to allow the pans to touch the
ground"

ERECTION, from Cuba, of east by south,
and separating the Caribbean sea
from the Atlantic ocean. Puerto Rico
lis the easternmost and smallest of
these islands. 1t is traversed by the
eighteenth parallel, north latitude;
Gbut, although wholly within the trop-
dcal zone, the temperature rarely rises
above 81 degrees, owing to the prevail
irg northeast winds. The latitude is
about the same as that Of Bombay and
northern Luzon in the Philippine
Islands. Puerto Rico's latitude (66 de-
grees west of Greenwich) brings the
dsland about one degree further east
than the extreme easternmost point
ON the Atlantic coast of the United
States, /. e., Eastport, Me. The dis
tance from Puerto Rico to Key West
is about 1000 miles; from the Cape
Verde islands, off the coast of Africa
.Rnd almost directly east of Puerto
Rico, some thing over 1000 miles. Ca
dir, Spain, is considerably more than
$1,000 miles to the northeast.
Puerto Rico is rectangular in shape
and almost three times as long as
broad. East and west it measures los
miles, north and south about 81, Its
area is $3.50 square miles, or about
one-twelfth that of Cuba, little more
than half that OF the Hawaiian islands
and less than one-thirtieth of the area
of the Philippines. The island is about
,two-thirds the size of Connecticut and
nearly three times that of Rhode
Island. An east and west mountain
irange forms the water shed for some
1890 streams; AZ of these are rivers,
but none navigable. Puerto Rico is
extremely fertile and is considered the
most healthy island in the Antilles.
The chief products are coffee and
sugar; tobacco is extensively cult
waited, and rice, maize and tropical
sfPuits to a less extent. Dense forests
cover the highlands and contain many
valuable species of wood, and the ex-
,cellent pasturage in other sections
permits cattle raising on an extensive
scale. Gold, iron, coal, copper and
salt are found in Puerto Rico, but only
the salt mines are worked. The total
sexports of the island in 1895 amounted
to about $146OO,OOO, imports, $16,OOO,-
1000. In the year ending June 30, 1897
the United States imported S2,1S1,O24

and our exports thither amounted to
