The lady reflected, hesitated and then

Advantages of Using Caustic Potash
Instead of Instruments. - Z

instead OF InstrumeHtS.
Veterinarian Niles of the Virginia
experiment station is a strong advocate
of dehorning by means of caustic potash
instead of instruments. The caustic
potash should be applied before the horn
starts to grow, yet it may be effectually
used after the horn is one or two inches
long. Caustic potash is an alkaline caus-
tic and for dehorning purposes should
be got in the form of sticks. While
not in use these sticks must be kept in
a closely stoppered bottle or they will
soon go into solution. as caustic potash
absorbs moisture from the air very rap
idly.
The application is easy and can be
made by any one 1t is best applied
when the calf is only a few days old.
With pair of scissors clip the hair
from over the young horn that the pot
ash may come in direct contact with
the parts to be destroyed. 1t has been
recommended that the oily secretions of
the skin be first removed with little
soapsuds This is, however, unneces-

Churning Sweet and Sour Cream.

ChuPninG Sweet and Sour Cream.
It is well known that the churnabili
ty of cream depends largely on its han
ding during ripening. Sour cream
churns more easily than sweet cream.
The reason for this may be that the
presence Of Tactic acid has some effect
on the surface tension of fat globules.
Since sour cream churns more readily
than sweet cream, it will not do to mix
creams of unequal ripeness just before
churning The sour cream would churn
first, and the sweet cream would be left
as buttermilk If it is necessary to mix
cream of unequal ripeness, it should be
done at least 10 hours before churning,
and the mixing should be thorough. 1t
is important to stir the cream while it
is ripening for a similar reason. If the
temperature of cream is not exactly
alike throughout, as is nearly always
the case the warmer parts ripen more
rapidly, and unless the cream is occa-
sionally stirred it does not ripen uni
formly This leads to heavy losses of
fat in the buttermilk If cream has
been handled exactly as it should be,
the churn may be stopped when the
butter is in granular form without loss
of fat in the buttermilk, but if the
cream is not uniformly ripened the
churn cannot be stopped at this point
without considerable loss Field and

ON THE DEFENSIVE,

(Grand Rapids, Mich, Democrat, Oct 12)
The appearance of Judge Day, pres
ident Of the commission which negOtia-
ted the Infamous Paris treaty, in the
Ohio campaign, shows that the Repub-
liCan leaders realize that they are on the
defensive. They have scarcely a month
left in which to find excuses for their
,imperialstic propaganda. This is to be
regretted. Because the more they at
tempt to explain it, the more surely will
the voters be convinced that the facts
to which they so strenuously and in
dignantly object cannot be explained
away. Judge Day admits that the
first proposition regarding the Philip
pines came from Spain, and involved
the assumption of that part of the Phil
ippine debt which was spent for pacific
improvements in the Philippines. In
turn the American commissioners offer
ed $2O,OOO,00O and also Offered to pay
for pacific improvements" Spain has
not put in her bill for the latter yet, but
the latter paves the way for future
wrangle and may also be used as a ba-
sis for a moral claim of the bondholders
holding bonds as a first lien on the port
of Manila that the United States is re-
sponsible for their payment. The only
excuse Judge Day offers for what
Speaker Reed fittingly denominated
paying 50 a head for 100000 yellow
bellies" is that the offer was made "for
the sake of immediate peace" It is
charitable to suppose that this may, in
deed, have been the real purpose Of the
commissioners, but as was clearly stat
ed at the time, what was purchased was
not immediate peace, but perpetual war,
war, too, that was wholly unnecessary,
easily avoidable and a war which, from
the standpoint of morality, cannot be
defended. There was nothing gained by
immediate peace" with Spain. Whether
a treaty Of peace was ever ratified made
no differenc to any one unless to Spain.
Spain was ousted from Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. She had no navy
and was powerless against the people
of any of those possessions. A simple
declaration by the United States that
Spain was no longer sovereign in those
possessions would have been as effective
as treaty. The only reason for haste
and that shows the evil of the whole
matter-was the haste of President Nc
Kinley to have congress place in his
hands the power of enlarging the army
and Of forcing upon the Filipinos "ab-
solute submission" If, as Judge Day
states, 1t was thought best to give Spain
$20,000,000 for Immediate peace" the
bargain is open to criticism from score
of different standpoints. BY it the COM
mission got what it wanted. But that
is no justification of the war of conquest
which had been begun by the admins
tration against the Philippine people
even before the treaty was ratified at
Washington.

AT THE MERCY OF PIPE TRUST.
X. q. FilIespie Tells why Tube Mills Out
Side the Combine Are Needed Here.

Something had to be done, as the oil
producer is almost at the complete
mercy Of the pipe manufacturing COM
bine." This was the statement made
yesterday by r. G.. Gillespie, of this city,
who is the owner of several large oil
fields in Ohio and West Virginia, in
speaking of the proposed new tube mills
at Beaver. II never saw anything like
the way this big combine has jumped up
prices. It's actions have every feature
of what is called grinding monopoly
THE best evidence of this fact is
founded on my own experience. Fifteen
months ago the cost of 51a-inch casing
was 251a cents per foot. l uow pay 81
cents for the same article. Within the
same time the combine has raised the
price of the different sizes of casing in
proportion. Eight-inch now costs ST. 16;
the former price was 46 cents. Ten-inch
that little over year ago purchased
for 72 cents now costs $1.75.
"One result of this increase is to al
most drive the middle-rate and small
sized oil producers out of business.
When it cost $4,000 to bore a we'll form
erly it takes double that sum at present,
and largely on account Of the action Of
the tube manufacturers.
II will acknowledge that the cost Of
raw material has increased, but not to
the extent that would in any way justi-
fy the tube men in demanding such
prices. We know, of course, that the
price for oil has increased but not to
figure that would warrant the small
producer in paying such exorbitant
sums for pipe. 1t has narrowed down
to this, that these producers can find no
profit in the oil business when they are
forced to pay these rates for casing, and
many have been forced to stop drilling
wells"

Unless the party who desired to buy
the Canton Glass companys business
backs out, the sale is to be a go. The
stockholders and board of directors Of
the company met in Canton Saturday
and considered the matter, as stated eX-
clusvely in the Democrat. A
proposition had been made to buy the
plant for so much spot cash. The stock
holders decided to sell and so instruc-
ted the board of direstors. The board of
directors thereupon ordered the presi-
dent and secretary of the company to
make a deed of the property and to turn
the whole thing over to the new own
ers upon the payment Of the cash offer
ed.
Mr.. Hnry Harter said today that he
did not wish to state who the purchaser
was just now for fear it might embar-
rass him. AS for himself. he said he
would be perfectly willing to have II
known. He also did not feel like nam
ing the price that was to be paid. Said
he:
I'VE received an offer from this man OF
cash for the entire property and the
stockholders have decided to accept the
offer. When the money is paid we will
turn the business over. We will then
collect up our book accounts, which are
not to be included in the sale, and close
up the business"
| Upon being asked what he could say
about the new purchaser turning the
business over to the glass trust being
formed, he smiled and said, 81 only wish
to state what know. may think some
things, but 1 do not know about the
trust. Our offer comes from a man
not trust"
Mr. Harter stated the sale included the
real estate and other property of the
Canton Glass Co. here. He did not know
when the money would be paid over and
the sale consummated.
