Washington about Mr.. Hobart and the

Mr., Hobart is not only willing but
anxious to have the old ticket put

law IN regard to printing records

thas the change was a terrible cut
on the newspapers OF the State and
calculated to rob them of part Of
their legitimate business, should
get the bill and read up on it, be-
fore shooting off at random and in

to all parties concerned. The facts
are That there is no cause whatever

son is beautiful indeed. Under the
law requiring him to appoint a GER
tain number of Democrats OF the
Board Of Directors of the different
State institutions, be appointed
Alex McVeigh Miller a member O!
the Weston Hospital Board. Miller
was a rabid gold Democrat during
the last campaign and then went
on over to the Republicans party,

recently refused to confirm bic ap-
pointmont, as it was shown that he
was Chairman Of the Republican
Committee of his county now. So
the Governor again appoints Miller

this country for their soldiers. This
Government has ordered that So

terms in conjunction with Gen.
Gomez, and after all the good work
this man did for Cuba as a special
envoy 1T Washington, in creating a
sentiment for his country and sc
curing the aid of the United
States in their behalf. The army
refuses to disband unless thew can
get what they demand, and it may
be that our military authorities
over there will be compelled to
forcibly disarm them, in which
event somebody may get hurt. Gen.
Brooke, the Military Governor
General, has been given authority
to dissolve the Cubaa Assembly
unless they accept the terms of this
country. From the tone of Gen.
Brooke's dispatches, officials expect
that he will Immediately avail him

tives of the Cuban people.

hair is puffed and curled as much as
ever, while a high knot rises at the
summit Of the head, and this is upheld
by a jeweled comb at the back and
perhaps a jeweled ornament in front.
A very ingenious arrangement for
wearing at the theater after the big
hat is removed is an Alsatian bow of
black velvet ribbon, with a rhinestone
ornament in the center. The lady has
this fastened to a hairpin, and before
the hat is fairly off the bow is on, and
the effect is really good.
There are IN some of the swell estab-
lishmentS Q number of rich and elegant
suits made of velutina in black, brown,
dark green, gray and some Of the pur-
PIES particularly those called Cyrano
These are made into what one might
call tailor suits. with jacket or long
coats as may be. The strictly tailor
suits are made plainly, as such gar
ments are wont to be- but where there
is a long coat or empire coat it is richly
ornamented with jet and fur and often
rich lace wherever such can be used
with propriety.
There was one suit where the skirt
was made quite plain and Of Cyrano
purple. There was an empire coat
wrap of the same velutina, overlaid
with black applique guipure. This
wrap was like a princess polonaise in
shape, cut away in one deep scallop in
front. with the apex reaching quite to
the knees. There was row of knotted
fringe all around the bottom. There
were ahigh storm collar and deep lapels
all faced with fine chinchilla fur. The
whole wrap was covered with the
thick silk guipure. Many skating
dresses and whole suits are made of
velutina. trimmed with fur.
For the very young the favored jack
ct is what we call Sans Gene. These
are made both with and without points
at the back, and all have the box plaits
at the back of the skirt or the side
plated skirts. These have the plaits
laid along and tackled so as to exactly
fit the hips, and from there they hang
loose % the bottom. Velvet of any
kind, TO look at it's best, needs to be
laid in heavy folds.

Of making good butter on the old sys-

inferior butter is that folks won't take
the trouble. They want to rush the

Gently stated in an interview. says

were ''clean COW stalls, pure feed for

ing utensils" Simple enough, isn't it?
Yet, simple as it is, every milk dealer,
every creamery and cheese factory, ev-
cry buyer of butter aud cheese knows
that it is a condition very hard to Sc
cure. II every producer of milk would
comply with this simple condition,
there would be scarcely any poor milk,
butter or cheese. The mischief with
all three of shese products starts, in
nine cases out of ten. with the igno-
rance, Indifference or carelessness of

Preservation by Pressure.

Preservation of milk by pressure is
partment of agriculture have been ex-
perimenting. Enormous hydraulic pres
sure has been applied to samples of
milk inclosed in collapsible tin tubes,
placed in strong hollow steel cylinders,
the pressures ranging from 100 pounds
to 100 tons per square inch. 1t was
found that at ordinary temperature
milk subjected to pressures of 10 to 10
tons for as many days was sweet at
the end of the test, while at lower pres
sures the souring was not delayed.
Pressures of 80 tons applied for one
hour delayed souring for upward Of "A
hours as compared with check samples.
Pressures of 20 to 90 tons for several
minutes to one hour kept milk sweet
from two to seven days. When the
temperature of the milk was raised to
40 or 10 degrees f., low preSsures
gave better results than corresponding
pressures at ordinary temperatures.
Up to the present time it has been i'm
possible to completely destroy all the
bacteria by means of pressure, germ
life being particularly tenacious.
Germs of typhoid fever, tuberculosis
and other diseases added to the milk
for experimental purposes were not
killed by the application of 10 to 10
tons for eight days and upward. AL
together the idea would appear to be
more interesting than practical.

It's Business.

cows, the sanitary condition of stable,
utensils, ETC.; also to have the cows
MIXED in their presence and take sam
Piles for analysis.
The milk must be delivered as it
comes from the COWS at least once a
day.
Milk showing less than "a by the
Gerber or Babcock test may be re-

Milk from sick COWS, milk from COWS
having calved within eight days, from
COWS due to calve within three weeks,

to deliver milk from other patrons as
if coming from the deliverer's farm.
If any patron desires to increase or
decrease his delivery by 100 pounds
per day, he must give notice two weeks

The greatest cleanliness must be OBJ
served as follows: THE cows bags
must be washed, the first squirt Of
milk thrown away, all utensils kept
perfectly clean, milk removed from the
stable Immediately after milking
strained and night and morning milk
