Washington. Aug. 2.-whether Spain

TO commission to determine. The
reason for deferring the decision as to
the future Of the islands In this fashion
is because the administration is not yet

moment what sound policy should die

until the commission has satisfactorily

on the streets during the years he had
made trips over Il certain route with
unfailing regularity. Yesterday morn
ing he came to town as usual with his
load of milk. He had covered a pof-
tion of his route and was coming north
on Arizona street when he met with the
peculiar mishap.
Teams are at present engaged in
hauling ice into town to fill the ice
houses in the lower part of the city.
Yesterday morning some of the teams
which were using sleds found they had

in the street, but no trouble occurred
till Scalioti came driving carelessly
along. His team was jogging leisurely
and the milkman, who had gone over
the same road many hundreds of
times before, was little dreaming of
any harm. Suddenly the horses saw
the pile of ice. As though they had
been one horse instead of two, they
jumped together to one side. Scaloti.
sitting heedlessly on his seat with his
lines hanging loose, was unable To
check the animals quickly. and the
wagon slid violently around on the
frozen road as the sorses swerVed and
then came back into the street. AS the
wheels slid over the ground they struck
against a rut, the vehicle stopped as
suddenly as the team had started, and
Scaloti, who had not vet had time to
recover from his surprise. shot head
long from his seat ans landed on his
head, The team ran few rods across
the tracks and was stopped by a rail
road man.

Scalioti's assistance. They found him
unconscious and picking him up car

CARE OF DAIRY UTENSILS.

There would be less poor butter on the
market if more attention were given to the
care of the dairy utensils, says w. J Fraser
in an agricultural paper. They should be
washed as soon as possible after being used,
as the longer the milk remains in them the
harder they are to clean. First, rinse in
cool water to remove the milk; never use
hot, as this cooks the milk and causes it to
adhere to the vessels. After rinsing, wash
thoroughly in hot water, or what is still
better, with steam. if it is available
This scalding is very essential, and should
be thoroughly done. After scalding, turn
upside down in clean, exposed place,
where they will get the full benefit of the
sun, as this helps greatly to keep them
sweet.
Strainers should be given good deal Of
attention, as they come in contact with.
all the milk. If cloth strainers are used,
they are difficult to keep clean.- A cheap
grade of cotton flannel, used nap side up
makes good strainer, and ii only small
piece is used, it is best 10 throw it away af
ter each straining.
All tin utensils should be as free from
seams as possible, hence, of course, dressed
tin is best. If there are seams or corners
they should be filled with solder as to leave
no lodging place for dirt. A few minutes
work with the soldering iron will save
much time in washing. Wooden pai,t
should never be used for milk, as it is prst
tically impossible to keep them clean.
Where milk is taken to factory the can:
should be washed before they are returned
1t is bad practice to take back skim milk
which is usually sour, in the cans used fol
whole milk, but this is often done and car
hardly be obviated where the milk is hired
hauled. Of course, the skim milk should
be returned, but it is much better to have g
barrel for the purpose. II the cans arr
used for skim milk they should be emptied
on reaching the farm any thoroughly
clcansed.
All wooden utensils, such as churn but
ter worker, etc.. should be washed and
scalded after being used, and if placed ir
the sun, care must be taken that ilfy dc
not become so dry as to crack. From ont
churning to another the churn should no
be kept tightly closed, as it will soon be
come taintei. In preparing wooden uten
sils for use they should be scaIlde and ther
cooled with cold water. If treated in thi
way the butter will not stick.
