vt APPEARS from the Washing
ton dispatches that nineteen Re-
Il publican senators have proved
sufficient to defeat policy ni-
tiated by William Mckinley endorsed
overwhelmingly by public opinion with
out regard to party, and pushed by the
whole moral force of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, as well as supported by
thirty-tive Republican senators. Recl-
procity with Cuba, we are told, is dead ;
and incidentally the impression Is CIV
en- that Roosevelt's chances for a re-
nomination are DINNER than they were.
1t is undeniable that the president
made a mistake in temporizing with
this matter and, by dalliance, encour-
aging his opponents to increased obsti-
macy. He seems to have been misled,
Whether purposely or not, by those
senators who assured him that if he
would simply lay low and do nothing
the, opposition to Cuban relief could be
smoothed out and party harmony as
sured. What the situation needed was
a vigorous and uncompromising asser-
tion OF the executives power, power
usually sufficient, when welded with
intrepidity, to overcome formidable re-
Volt and shape both parties to the sup
pert of administration policies. In try
/tHs to be something different from the
f1ghting Roosevelt of former years, the
prssident has lost one secret of his
strength and apparently not yet gained
sufficient new strength to counter
balance. ~.
HoweVer, that may be, the Republic
saneparty is unquestionably face to face
with serious condition. If our officers
who have been in Cuba are not de-
reiyed, the failure of the reciprocity en-
terprise in this session of congress will

Some Of the information from WASH

the ugly situation in the best spirit

may be wise policy; but somehow we
should like to see the issue carried be-
fore the people and fought to a finish.

by rain. In feeding, begin at one end
of the rick so as not to disturb the top
sheaves of the entire stack or rick.
A little skill in placing the second,
third or fourth tier of sheaves on top
of the first ones will result in satis-
factory method of preserving the
stalks till wanted. Do not get the base
of the stack too wide or it will have to
be carried two high to get top on it,
or the top will have to be quite fiat.
Sometimes a long line of posts is set
and provided with pofes as already
stated, and the sheaIes or stalks are
set nearly or quite as upright as they
are when shocked in the field. About
four or five tiers, more or less, of
sheaves are placed on each side and
no effort is made to put a top on the
rick. The only trouble which is likely
to arise will come from very deep
SHOWS settling in the tops of these
sheaves and melting and running into
them; therefore it is usually well to
place somewhat more sheaves on the
center in order to form a sharper top
to the rick than would be secured by
not doing so. Connect two poles with
straw rope and place them one on
each side near the tops to keep them
together, as shown in fig. 2.-Country

that reputrtion. 1t contains eight short
stories, most of them illustrated, and
special articles and poems, among
them a beautiful unpublished poem
by Robert Louis Stevenson, written in
1872 when be was young man. The
poem shows the charm of StevensOn's
style at the very outset of the career.

WHOLESOME AID
When LOng-Keeping Butter Is De-
sired 1t Should BE Washed in
Sterilized Water.

The keeping quality of butter de-
! pends very greatly on the water in
which it is washed If the water looks
clear it is generally supposed to be
pare. But the miscroscope has shown
that the water that looks as clear as
crystal is frequently the abiding place
OF disease germs as we'll as of ferment
germs of various kinds. We predict
that the time will come when butter
made in our frst-class creameries will
be washed in sterilized water. There
nave been numerous cases where but
ter made under highly scientific condi-
tions has gone off in flavor in a short
time and subsequent investigation has
shown that the apparently pure wa
ter in which it was washed was the
cause. In the home of the farmer the
well is usually depended on to furnish
water for washing butter as well as
for other uses. Too often the well is
dirty from different causes. We have
seen such wells where the water actu-
ally was odorous with decaying animal
life. Yet after the water became taint-
ed it was still used for weeks by the
family. One such well, on being
cleaned out, was found to contain
great masses of dead angleworms. 1t
is no unusual thing for frogs and even
mice to get into wells and become de-
cayed before their presence is detect
ed. Even when nothing of this kind
exists the water amy not be pure
enough to use for the washing of but
ter. Germs of many kinds capable of
reproducing themselves in the butter
may be in the water. 1t is an easy mat
ter for the farmer to boil water used
for the washing of butter. This is ad-
visable certainly when long-keeping
butter is desired 1t would not be
amiss to use sterilized water at all
times. Could we but bring it into gen.
eeral use in the washing of butter, the
spread of disease would be prevented
in some degree. 1t has been shown that
even in butter typhoid fever and other
disease germs have been carried

RICKING CORN FODDER.
How to Dispose of Surplus Material
Where Barn Room Is Not Ad-
equate for Storage.

"A common way to preserve corn
fodder, and a very good one, is to set
common fence posts on the side or top
of which, according to the height of
the corn, spike one or more poles. Set
the corn against these, making a long
rick of it. After eight to ten feet, more
or less, of corn fodder has been placed
on each side of the poles, if the last
rows of sheaves have been set with q
pretty fat angle, you will be able to
place another row of sheaves with the
butts about on the bands of the last
row of sheaves (as shown in fig. y.
In this way you will have a narrow,
rather low stack, but the sheaves will
be set at such an acute angle and the
middle will be so supported by thepole
that the fodder should not be injured

ters from her new home, Pascsg sgoula

Mrs. Converse had some conversation
with a typical old southern negresf
who does her hOusework. It was in
respect to the telegram of sympathy
sent by President Roosevelt after the
church disaster at Birmingham Ala,
and OF the attitude of the north gen.
orally toward the colored brother. And
Mrs. Converse assures us that the fol-
lowing report of what "Aunt Lucv''
said to her is fairly representative of
the feeling among the negroes all over
the south:

FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

Clover is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
important.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk.
To get all the butter the cream must
be uniformly ripened.
Cows that are good producers of
rich milk must be good consumers.
In small quantities cottonseed meal
is good feed, but in excess it Injuries

While it pays to raise hogs in con-
junction with the dairy, it never will
pay the mandatory to keep the
swine quartered near the cheese fac

There are some women who seem to be

are companions as well children, and the
color in the mothers cheeks, the brightness

speak of abounding health. What is her
secret? She is at the middle age of life when
so many women are worn. wasted and faded,
and yet time has only ripened her charms.
The secret of this matronly health and
beauty may be told in the brief phrase, DR..

health of woman is so intimately related
to the local health of the delicate womanlv

THE DECLINE In GREAT SALT
LAKE
Low Waters of the Lake Cause of Uneasi
ness; the United States GeoIogicaal
Survey Requested to Investigate Its
Decline,

The decline in the waters of Great
Salt Lake, Utah, which has been in
progress for the last sixteen or seven
teen years, has become matter of con-
Germ to local property owners and of
much interest to scientists In the
fifteen years ending with 1900 the lake
had fallen 8 feet, decline more seri-
Gus than at first realized, as the lake
is very shallow, averaging less than 20
feet, and as the eastern and western
shores slope so gradually that fallof
foot in the levelexposes many square
miles of bottom. Business interests
centerlng around the lake have so suf
fered from the decline that within the
last twelve months petition signed
by number of the prominent officials
of Utah was sent to the United States
Geological Survey, requesting an in.
vestigation of the phenomenon. Some
light is thrown on the movements of
thelake in the last (Twenty second)
Annual Report of the Survey. Part
", now in press, in which a careful
comparison of the rainfall records
since 1868 has been made. 1tis found
that the low water fluctuations of the
lake, of which there have been several
since that time, correspond in re-
markable degree with the periods of
deficient rainfall, and it has further
been discovered that one inch of rain
fall per year more or less upon the
watershed of the lake makes a differ
ence of Q. .26 of foot in the water level.
This ratio, applied to the present low
water on the basis of the deficiency in
rainfall for the last fifteen years, which |
amounts to IA inches, seems to ac
count for less than half of the present |
fall, so that other causes for it must |
De found. In recent years it has been |
suggested that the increase in irriga- |
Jon of adjacent lands by Water taken
rom the streams feeding the lake has /
the lowering of its waters. |
Large quantities of water are spread |
lpon the farm lands by irrigation,
partly to be absorbed by vegetation,
partly to be evaporated, and partly to
'etnrn to the streams or lake in the
orm of springs. On account of the
artificial control of the streams feed
ng the lake the causes of the present
ow water have become much COM
but careful gagings of the
axe levels are being made, and addi-
ional observations taken, to discover
jhe causes Of its decline and to learn,
+ possible, what part irrigation plays
u it.
