CUBAN'S DEMANDS
The Withdrawal Of Our Troops Necessary
to their Happiness

Captain James Mackay, transporta-
tion master for the government dur
ing the late war, says, as he was leav-
ing Havana Tuesday evening. he heard
that the Cubans made a peremptory
demand for the administration to move
all the American troops from the is
land in thirty days. No threat was
made but he says he saw evidence OF
an ugly temper while in Havana.
He is well known there and has
many Cuban friends. He saw the large
delegation which waited on Gen. Wood
Tuesday, and made so many demands
on him. They were ugly and all car
ried Cuban flags while the American
flag was conspicuous by it's absence.
Several Cuban leaders here admit
that they have information from Ha-
vana that the demand has been made
for the withdrawal of our troops.

The superintendent of the Dubuque
division of the Chicago, Great West

sensation. In effect it prohibits them

form or at any time. 1t applies to
trainmen, station agents, foremen and

The movement for the organfatfch

The recent United States Geological
Survey on the production of precious
stones, as prepared by Geo. F. Kuntz,

in 1899, a gain of $46,440 or 25 per

Albert Edward comes to the throne
of England at an age when most men
consider their active lifewoSk practic-
ally over. He faces task calling for
every energy Of brain and body and
freighted with the gravest responsible
ties. AS an offset to this, he Is stout Of
frame, rugged of constitution, and gen.
orally in robust health. He is idolized
by the English, q fact that is accounted
for by his democratic habit Of making
every man he meets his friend His
princely bearing has been agreeably
shaded with: courtesy to his interiors in
rank, and he has been active in his sup
port of deserving public charities. In
entering upon his reign he has the good
will Of every subject-a condition that
lessons the. difficulty of his position.
One of the penalties Of royalty is the
obliteration Of private feeling. The
state demands of the new king the per-
formance of. certain public ceremonies
with which his personal bereavement
must not be permitted to interfere. His
mourning for his mother must be OBJ
served in secret. Before his subjects
he must bear himself with cheerfulness
and dignity. 1t is situation identical
with that Of the fayorite actor, who
must strut and grimace for his public,
even though his heart be breaking. In
his youth this king was a rollicking,
devil-may care prince. He had the fol-
lies Of youth and outgrew them. By
his acts as Edward VII. will be dis
covered the exact strength and quality
of his manhood,

On p. ID. Armour's tombstone might
well be Inscribed: "The young man
who wants to. marry happily should
pick out good mother and marry one
Of her daughters-any one will do"
For p. d. Armour never said a wiser
thing, and no man ever paid finer
tribute to the mothers of this country.
1t is easy to imagine the woman Ar
mour had in mind. She is type Of
the times. She is not too modern, and
there Is nOta.Gs, s...u.> III about her. Her
social qualities are unquestioned, and
yet. she does not live for society. She
reads and dresses and worships as her
conscience and inclination direct. IN
the home Is found her kingdom. By
her example she teaches herdaughters
how to become good wives. The things
that she teaches are less than the
things that her girls actually learn
from her. Association as well as in
clination draw the daughters into the
channels that..lead to domestic happi-
ness: Her example is stamped on their
young lives. She is the queen Of a
hame to which the mind Of the husband
and parent is ever turning. Peace
abides there, and the household ma
chinery does not jar. That is the wom-
an P. D. Armour was thinking Of, and
what she is it is possible for her daugh-
ters to become. The young man Who
studies the mother of the woman he
wishes to marry is wise.

Rural free delivery is an addition to
the postal facilities Of the country that
has come to stay. When an appropri-
alton Of 100000 was asked for to III
augurate the experiment, Mr.. Loud,
chairman Of the House committee on
postoffices and post roads, objected; but
when it was proposed to appropriate
$3,50O,O00 to go on with the business
the chairman of the committee had
nothing to say. Mr.-Sperry Of Connec-
ticut, member of the committee, had
much to do with getting the matter
started. He was for many years post
master at New Haven, and his practi-
cal ideas with reference to the conduct
of the business Of the Postofice De-
partment have been of much service.
Mr.. Sperry gives it as his opinion that
1t would be useless now to try to pre-
vent the spread Of rural free delivery,
in which opinion, doubtless, the other
members of the committee, and the
department, itself, agree. Rural free
delivery has commended itself to the
people of the farms, and since they
like it Congress would not presume
to withdraw or do much hanging back.
The wonder is that free rural delivery
was not undertaken before, but now
that it has proved of such utility and
popularity, the whole country is reach
ing .out its hand, and expansion Of the
system must. go on until there are no

Large Potatoes for Seed

"Small potatoes will do for seed as
we'll as large ones" said potato
grower at Long Beach to the editor
last year, who bought fifteen sacks OF
him to plant. Doubling the wisdom OF
that remark, the editor selected asieW
large ones and cut them into generous
pieces, two eyes to the piece, as rule,
planting them just as the others were
planted. His experience leads him to
say to Herald readers who are about
to plant potatoes, that the statement
of the Chicago Farmers Journal is
sound, that larger and stronger plants
come from large potatoes, and that the
yield is also largely increased by
planting large pieces of seed. The
Journal also states that "the potatoes
should be so cut that an acre will re-
uuire ten or fifteen bushels of seed In
order to get the most profitable yield" !"
This may also be true; but it is certain
that the same labor and water re-
quired to produce poor crop OF pota-
toes improperly planted will reward
the farmer with a large crop OF supe-
rior~ potatoes if generous amount Of
good seed is used.

Hon. Elwood Cooper, the removed

Gilt.edged Butter

Of course, we all like it, and like
the good price it brings. The. prob.
lem is to produce it. What is known
as bacillus No. Al, says writer IN the
New York Farmer, has been very sue
cessfully used in number of cream
cries for this purpose. 1t has been
tested in cream good and poor, fresh
and stale, separated or raised by set
ting. and in different classes of cream
cries, and the result has been uniform.
When added in the proper way, there
has been an improvement in the quail
ity of butter when it is not otherwise
properly handled. In fact. the pleas
ant and desirable aroma and flavor OF
good butter are due to thes presence
in the cream Of certain kinds OF bac-
terra, and they are fewer in number
than the others.
The object in ripening the cream
before churning is to develop these
bacteria, and they are to be found. in
June cream, while most liable to be
absent in winter Considerable effort
has been made, to insure the certainty
Of having these bacteria always pres
ent, and for this object what are
known as butter cultures are used. +
They perpetuate these organisms in
ripened cream, and some of it is saved
at each churning to be added to the
next. The ~souring is delayed, and the
ripening of the cream may continue
longer than usual, the flavor being i'm
proved by the process.

but, nevertheless, faithfully attended

cabin, wherein they worshiped while
fellow members took turn about in
guarding the entrance against attack.
The old cabin is yet standing, although
in a badly decaying condition.
