The suspicion is taking strong root
in the minds OF many Of the leading
statesmen OF the United States that
the ultimate purpose Of the Mckinley
administration is to absorb Cuba In
some way, but in what way OF what
excuse it can offer for such action is
difficult problem. The proper and
only sensible course for the adminis-

WASHING OF BUTTER.
Calls for the Exercise of In
dividuaI Judgment.

Not many years ago it was generally
supposed by dairymen that 10 make
fine butter they must allow but little,
if any, water to come in contact with
It, but since that time we have learned
to wash il in one or more waters, to
remove the buttermilk. The question
now is, how much washing should be
done. There is a great difference of
opinion on this matter. Some claim
that it should be thoroughly washed,
while others say that in doing this the
flavor is injured. The latter, no doubt,
Is correct, while the first may be in a
measure. To what extent butter
should be washed, 1 believe, depends
On what way it is to be handled in the
market, whether consumed at once or
to be held in storage. The advocate of
thorough washing claims that in no
other way can butter be made to keep.
1t is my opinion that butter which
is thoroughly washed will keep better
than if only lightly washed, but be-
lieve that either extreme should be
avoided. To wash butter until the
water runs off clear, will give US an
article that will not decay or turn
strong as soon as that not washed so
much. But, by tasting of the wash
water s it comes from the churn, it
will be found to contain strong flavor
of the butter, so it is plain to be seen,
that by thorough washing we lose con-
siderable favor. Then again, while
the flavor is enhanced by not washing
so much, the buttermilk left in will
tend to putrefaction, for, as we all
know very well, buttermilk spoils
quickly and becomes i'll smelling. Then
If We undertake to remove all the but
ter1nilk by working, we are apt to
work the butter too much, thereby
breaking the grain and making it
salvy.
My plan of working the butter is to
use two or three waters, depending
upon quantity of water, temperature
of butter and the market. If nice
favored cream and butter, wash il
very little for a high, quick flavor,
especially if to be consumed soon.
When the flavor is poor I would wash,
say In three waters, and whether the
flavor is good or bad, l would use lit
tie salt in each washing, and only al
low the water to remain on the but
ter just long enough to give the churn
a few revolutions. If the butter is
quite soft when it comes, it may be
necessary to leave the water on a lit
tie time, to harden it. In summer sea-
son I prefer TO churn at a tempera-
ture close down to so degrees-say
about SO degrees-and then if other
things are favorable the butter will
be in good condition to wash at once,
with water at about the same temper
ature as the buttermilk drawn off
There can be no set rules for washing
butter, any more than in ripening the
cream or working the butter. In this
work we have to rely on our judgment.

Much Depends on lacking.

The package will sell the goods in
any market, even if the goods are not
of the best, as appearances in mar
ket convey the idea of quality. Buy
ers are not always capable of dis
eliminating between the best and the
inferior; hence much depends upon
the packing. 1t is claimed that Danish
butter is no better than that pro-
drced in American and Canadian
diaries; yet Danish butter holds the
highest place in the English market
because the Danish dairymen Use ex-
ira care in shipping their butter to
market in manner to attract atten-
ton and impress upon the buyer that
it is of the best quality.

WATERING ROUGH LAND.
Simple System of Irrigation Success
fully Introduced in the Arid
Z States of the Far West.

Along the line of many irrigation
canals, large tracts of land are often
found which have a decided fall, or are
rolling. Where this occurs in large
tracts, the expense of terracing is gen.
orally too great for the average farm
er, and system whereby the distri-
button of water can be assured which
is suited to the contour of the ground
must be devised. On land sloping sim
1larly as shown by the plan herewith,
the water enters the distributing
bitches at the upper left-hand corner,
and dividing, flows through these into
the still smaller bitches, from which
st is turned literally into burrows.
Little dams or temporary obstruc-
4ions of earth check its flow from point
TO point.

the way into town, a distance of IS
miles, to draw the money for her
debts, and will then mail the bank
notes to the firms which she wishes
10 pay. Asked her reason for this
vagary, she replies that it would be
such a disappointment to people who
expect money to open an envelope
and find only slip of paper. Yet she
is clever woman and conducts a
poultry farm with marked success.
There are women who never keep
a receipt for money they've paid and
who have to settle many bill twice
in consequence, and there are those
who deem receipts themselves wholly
unnecessary and troublesome and are
willing to trust to the honesty of
human nature. Yet all of these call
themselves business women and
would be highly indignant if anyone
cast an aspersfon upon their ability
to take care of themselves.

a good story is being told about
Miss Marie Corelli and the prOprie-
tress of a seminary for young ladies
at Standardization. 1t is said that
when staying on one occasion at
Shakespeare native town Miss
Corelli happened to be residing just
opposite to the school and found the
continual piano practice of the pupils
far on her nerves and interfere with
her work. Accordingly she decided
to write to the principal and penned
Il polite note asking that lady if she
would kindly order the windows clos
ed when the young ladies were play
ing, as the music was rather distract
ing and disturbed her in her compost
tion. 1t so happened, however. that
the good lady was no admirer of Miss
CoreIli's work and Immediately sent
a curt reply, saying that if she
thought the practlcing would stop

SET PREcEDENTs AT NAuoHT.
Business Women Refuse 10 be Gov
erned by AxiOms and Customs OF
Trade.

A critic of the new woman-tre
woman in siness-declares that
one-half of the members of the class
indOrse their checks on the wrong
end. Some of them, he says, are
just as fatally ignorant of laws that
the most ignorant man knows as
are their sisters who are tenderly
kept from contact with this wicked
world, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The business woman denies this
and pronounceS such stories as that
one going the rounds of the press
about the girl who drew a check on
a certain bank to cover the amount
that her account was overdrawn in
that bank the most preposterOus of
fakes. 1t is nevertheless true that a
stamp very rarely accompanies the
cneck with which woman pays a
bill; that she is invariably surprised
that she has to put one on an eX-
press package and not a little indiE-
nant at the government for putting
her to this trouble and expense.
1t is related of one young woman
who considers herself quite a person
of affairs that when called upon to
register at a hotel on a certain occa-
sion she wrote herself down in big
black letters as Miss PUSSY" Brown,
that being her pet home name. And

trenches shown in the figure as trend
ing diagonally toward the right-hand
lower corner. From these trenches
the water can be turned upon the low
er fields so that the excess or seepage
is not wasted, but is employed on the
less elevated tracts.
Canvas dams are generally employed
IN checking the waters over the field,
as they are most convenient. The fol-
lowing description will enable anyone
to construct them, and will also eX-
plain their use. The materials used in
the construction of a canvas dam are
a piece of timber, usually a two by
four scantling, long enough to reach
across the top of the ditch from bank
to bank; a small stick varying in
length according to the width of the
ditch to be damned, but no longer
than will lie across the bottom of the
ditch without leaving any consider
able space between the stick and the
bottom; brace or stick about one
third longer than the depth of the
ditch and a piece of canvas about one

ditch and as long as the width of the
ditch at the upper edge. The canvas
is cut into trapezoidal shape, some
what resembling but larger than a
section of the ditch. The long edge of
the canvas is fastened to the scant-
ling first described and the short edge
to the small stick. 1t is well to have
h4+1a roin af ha ha1
this short stick.
The dam is placed by throwing the
scantling across the ditch just below
the point at which it is desired to di-
vert the water. The canvas rests in
the ditch, with the short stick lying
across the bottom, far enough up
stream from the location of the scant-
ling to make the canvas nearly tight.
The brace is placed with one end
against the scantling and the other
against the short stick, thus prevent
ing the canvas from being washed
back under the scantling.
A little earth is thrown upon the
loose edges of the canvas, where it
rests against the banks and against
the bottom of the ditch, and the
water is turned in. The weight of the
water presses the canvas against the
banks, SO that there is scarcely any
leakage. In some cases permanent
dams with head gates are placed in
the bitches, and this is often done
where bitches branch and it is desra-
BILE to divert the water to one or the
other branch.-W. ]. Blanchard, in
Farm and Home.
