PRESERVING FRUIT.
Cold Storage Can BE Provided Wher-
ever Ice Has Been Gathered
During Last Winter.

The way to preserve fruit is to place
it in cold storage. There is often me-
cessity for preserving fruit for time.
The market, for instance, for certain
kind of fruit is for the time being
glutted. If we could preserve our fruit
for short time the market would want
1t. Cold storage is what we want for
the purpose. How are we to provide
that? Have you ice? If not that ends
the subject, for we cannot have cold
storage without ice, and the season for
gathering it is gone. If we have ice,
have we scientifically constructed
dairy house-one with the ice above,
double walls, etc, If so, partition the
dairy room off and use part of it for
cold storage for fruit when needed. If
you have ice and no such dairy house,
construct one. 1t is not expensive. Set
up what is called balloon frame, or
rather two balloon frames, so that you
may have double walls, enclose it on the
outside and board it on the inside, fill
in the space with sawdust if you can
get it, or with any non-heat conductor.
Build an upper chamber for the ice; ar
range drainage and you have your
house for cold storage.-Western Plow-
man.

"What is your idea of the proper con-
duct of the warp"
"The war was inevitable. The brand
of Cain is on the brow of Spain, because
our sailors were assassinated in Ha-
vana harbor by the hand of Spanish
Official. The terrific roar which re-
verberated in that harbor when the
battleship Maine was destroyed has not
been forgotten BY our people. That is
what caused the war. There would
have been no war if the Maine had not
been blown up and her sailors coward
ay murdered. Spain has made herself
absolutely responsible for that deed.
She endeavored to fix the responsibility
upon Capt. Sigsbee. She has insisted
upon that course even since it has been
demonstrated that the Maine was blown
up from the outside. For this, say,
che brand of Cain is upon the brow of
Spain.

THE WAR WITH SPAIN
What Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
Thinks About 1t.
I'm His Judgment We VIII Have More
or Less Trouble for the Next
Twenty-Five Years So Up
holds the President.
lspeoIal washington letter.

Senator Stewart, os Nevada, who came
into public life aSasenator from Neya-
da in 1863, to-day said: IL have viewed
public affairs, as participant, for more
than Il generation. am viewing this
war as / viewed the civil war, with u pa
triotic purpose, But cannot see the
end OF this war as the younger men see
IL. In my Judgment this war will last
for quarter OF II century,. 1t Will all
be over with Spain in short time. But
after that we will have to deal with our
territorial subjects in Puerto Rico
Cuba and the Philippines. ] do not
question the policy OF the admi!stra-
ton in lis departure from our tradi-
tional policy. simply view the future
as II now looms up. We have no 0ssur-
ance that the Cubans, Puerto Ricans
and inhabitants Of tie Philippines will
be better pleased with our colonial
policy than they have been satisfied
with the policy which Spain has pur-
sued. 1 know that the Cubans ure
ready to revolt against American rule.
Their vice president is here, He says
that the Cuban republic must be rccog-
nized. Those people have fought for
independence. That they will demand.
This is the first cloud that appears. We
shall hear from the other islands in
similar manner from time to time. Even
the most intelligent people cannot
adopt and ratify new conditions imme-
,diately. Many thousands of our own
people have revoited against the con
'ditions which came upon them as the
result of the civil war. A generation
had passed, and yet the south was not
content with the general government
until this war with Spain began. We
caunot expect too much of the people
whose territory we IRE taking. 1t will
be long time before our volunteer

HIS NAME is LEGION.
the Walk from House TO Barn
in Good Condition.

Some farmers need a little "good
roads" agitation right at home. When
. days rain makes the walk from house
to barn or other buildings which must
be visited every day SO deep in mud that
they are unfit to travel without rubber
boots or stout cowhides, the farmer
needs to be made to stay in the house
the next day and scrub up the muddy
floors with mop and scrubbing brush.
Possibly they would think two such
jobs required more hard work than
would be required to make good walks
of small stones about foot deep, and
covered with another foot of gravel,
that never would be muddy.
And then there are roads through the
field where the team can only draw out
about half load of manure, or draw in
more than half load of hay or veg
etables, because of some mudhole or
rock, or other bad place in it which
might be fixed with few hours labor,
but is neglected because it is not seen
every day, and then at times when the
men and teams are too busy to fix it up.
We once heard an old farmer say that
he thought the Almighty made small
stones and gravel on purpose to make
roads of, which might have been his way
of expressing the idea that material
seemingly worthless could be put to
good use.-American Cultivator.

iards from that island. This should
have been followed by the feeding OF

should have aided the Cubans in the es.

have had"

The upper half of the real door con-

country, and we look upon the condi-
tons confronting the coming genera
tions just as a father looks upon the
future of his children. 1t is because
of this disposition of humanitarian phil
anthropy that | entertain my doubts
concerning the wisdom of the policy
which is being pursued. l do not ques-
ton the integrity of the president any
more than | questioned Mr.. Lincoln's
integrity, 1t is a matter of judgment
alone; and my Judgment would lead me
to different conclusions than those
which have been actuating the presi-
dent in these grave matters"
Senator Stewart is II years old, and
has been in public life for 50 years; and
that is longer than some of us have
lived. He is silver haired, and wears
long silver beard. And he is known
as champion of silver coinage. On
that matter he has been regarded by
many as a crank, so extreme is he in
his views and expressions. But on gem
eral principles he is a broadminded
statesman and a man who loves his fell
low men.
His views are sought on all topics Of
the day by prominent men. Heis usually
wise and far seeing. Therefore, it is
with pleasure that the writer listened
to his views on the conduct of the war
There were several gentlemen present,
some Of whom differed radically with
his views, and he said:
Nothing pleases me more than to
meet with gentlemen who do not agree
with me. Although am getting along
in years, am not too old to learn, and |
listen to the views of others because 1
always learn something from men
who think for themselves. Too many
men agree with the senator's because
they are senator's. Every man should
think for himself"
The writer and the reader can well af-
ford to listen to man of that callber,
even if we differ with him. He is not
dogmatic nor autocratic. He believes
that the views of all intelligent men are
as much entitled to respectful consider
alton as his own. After referring to
some of the policies pursued by Abra-
ham Lincoln, which did not meet with
his approval, he said:
II told Mr.. Lincoln that it was I'M
wise to enlist negroes and make soldiers
of them. We had enough men to fill
the northern armies. The enlistment Of
negroes maddened the people of the
south and made them vindictive. 1t
was not necessary. did not approve
it then. My judgment has not changed
Nevertheless. the freedmen made good
soldiers.

a note written by Mr.. Lincoln's hand
/ called at the white house on the even
ing of his assassination, and sent in

wanted to introduce friend from Cal
ifornia, who was IN Leave the city that
night. Mr., Lincoln wrote on the back
of my card: Dear Senator: Please ex.
cuse me, as l am going to the theater.
