Plans Artistic Water Tower.

In the matter of water supply. the
question as to whether we would have
a compression tank in the cellar, a
tank In the attic or an outside tank
has been decided In favor of the latter.
If we depend on II windmill for power
it will be just Il plain tank in the
windmill frame, such as is seen on
most farms. But If we get 4 gasoline

several designs under consideration,
The least expensive of them would
cost about $500 for construction, but
it would add very materially to the at
tractiveness of the place. Aside from
it's initial cost tower of this kind
would afford certain economies 1t

White, With Green Shutters.
I put it up to Jana to decide what
color the house shall be painted. and
after months Of consideration she has
determined on white. with green shut

herself up to enthusiasm over other

come back to white and green. think
this is good Judgment, for with Its

be most effective.

Would Like to Rent Cow.

The problem of getting a second COW
is causing me to do lot of hard
thinking. 1t doesn't have 10 be de-
cided right now, of course. but it does
have to be decided sooner or later, and
l can't keep it out of my mind. The
fact that Jane is going to have con-
Sidera BILE butter to sell forces it up for
consideration The people who buy her
butter want her to agree to supply
them the year round She can't do
this with one COW. for toward the end
of the iactation period the milk sup
ply always falls off and for a month
or six weeks before COW comes fresh
again 1t is necessary to turn her dry.
Some one at the Office suggested that
it might be possible to rent COW for
two or three months each year That
sounds to me like brilliant idea /
don't know whether or not 1t could be
done, but it ought to be possible If
some dairyman would go into the bust
ness of renting out cows he'd find a

Good Measure for Good Care.

1 don't know whether it is because
we have fed her exceptionally well or
whether it is because she has just come
into full development, but the COW is
giving more milk than we ever expect
ed her to give. and more than the man
we bought her from predicted as her
ultimate capacity. Her yield now is
Just trife short of six gallons d day.
When she was fresh with her other
calf four and one-haf gallons a day
was the most got
1t is a very gratifying development
indeed, and means that she is going to
he mighty valuable possession. Jane
figures on having five pounds of butter
TO sell each week all summer long.
That will more than pay for what feed
shall have to buy during the sum-
iner, giving US our own milk and but
ter as clear profit. As the buttermilk
and skim milk have almost full milk
value when fed to pigs and chickens. !
am going to get a liberal return for the
trouble of milking and caring for the
COW. She will not, of course, keep up
such a flow of milk all summer, but it
can fall off a lot and still leave a big
margin of profit.
This performance of the mother COW
makes US more than satisfied with our
decision to raise her calf. 1t looks as

STOCK BREAK MAKES

Belief That British Loan Will

Sterling exchange was easier yester-
dey, closing at 4.Gjia for demand and
1861. for cables. as compared with
1865 for demand and 4.67i2 for cables
on Saturday. Brokers said that the
easing OF sterling was due to the fact
thai there was no demand for sterling
bills as remittances for American Sc
curities sold for British account owing
to the decline OF prices In the stock
market. Last week, when security
prices were several points higher, many
British holders Of American stocks and
bonds took a considerable profit. with

mand for sterling bills, which sent the

PLANS TO DIVIDE
CANADIAN PACIFIC
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy Tells
of Proposed 10000, 900
Ship Corporation.
GREAT LOSS IN REVENUE

The plans of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road Company for a separation of the
railway and steamship finances Of the
company and the details OF the crea.
ton of a new company TO be known
as the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services,
Ltd, with an authorized capital of f2-
100000 sterling tabout $4,000. 000) are
outlined by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy In
mis- report to stockholders for the year
ended June 80. 1915. Sir Thomas says
your directors have had under con-
sideration for some TIM the ~desirability
OF transferring to a steamship mpan
your steamships engaged In rattle On the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, so as to
more efectually separate YOU railway
and steamship finances and operations.
To that end n company has been or
ganized under The laws Of Great Britain,
known as The Canadian Pacific Ocean
Services, Ltd with an authorized cap
ital Of 10000. 900 sterling. having for its
purpose, among other things. the &C.
QUESTION and operation OF ocean steam
ships and the interchange of traffic with
your railway lines and others.
The requisite extension OF your COM
pany's charter powers has been secured
to enable II to hold stock and securities
OF the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services.
and to guarantee payment of the prin-
cipal n interest of such securities as
may De issued with your consent. 1t is
proposed that the Canadian Pacific Ocean
Services shall purchase and take over
your interest in all OF the steamships
and their appurtenances engaged in
ocean traffic, as we'll as those of the
Allan Line, which has been under your
control for some time.
"A moderate estimate OF he value of
the steamship property Involved In the
transaction. after making due allowance
for depreciation, is s23. 500. 900. Your
directors recommend that as "A considera-
ton for the steamships and their APP
~purtenances to be sold and delivered by
your company, and for the capital stock
OF the Allan Line. carrying with II all
that ~company's steamship n other
properties. you accept as fully paid the
capital stock OF the Canadian Pacific
Ocean Services. namely. fl,962,9l0, being
all excepting the shares necessary to
qualify the directors OF the steamship
company. and in addition ) per cent. first
debentures or debenture stock OF the
Canadian Pacific Ocean Services 20 the
amount OF f2,s65,s6o sterling.
Uncomfortable conditions caused an
abnormal decline In the gross revenue OF
your railway lines for the year.. and.
although the working expenses were
very substantially reduced. net earnings
we're SS.S5l. 400 less than in the previous
year. leaving a margin barely sufficient
to meet the customary distribution to
shareholders. Against this your special
income was s2,3sl,4s1 greater this year
than last. Your directors were OF
opinion mat in the circumstances there
was no good reason for making any
change in the rate of dividend and acted
accordingly."

RALLY IN COTTON
AFTER EARLY BREAK
Tone of Market Unsettled as a
Result of Complicated
situation.
BIG STOCKS IN SOUTH

rbe compile Kites OF the cotton situa-
HIM were fairly well illustrated yester-
s,y by the irregular o n OF the market.
although IL must be admitted that price
,banees were governed largely by the
ms and downs in stocks. Sentiment
,as unsettled owing to the possibility
4, complications resulting from the sink
lrs Of the Arabic. The confidence In the
,urity market probably had as much
,auence as anything else In causing the
,s,e rally In cotton. which left closing
prices at a small net gain after there
had been a sharp break in the first hour.
Very little Importance was attached
10 the ~contraband declaration Of Great
Britain and France, as II was felt that
the drastic effect of these
,snts had been somewhat Offset by the
yuggestion Of compensating measures.
As a matter of fact the solid element
Of the cotton trade attaches more i'm
portance to the GENERALIZATION in for
egn exchange. the high freight and in
slrance rates and the restrictions which
will be placed on the expectations Of
yarns and cloth from Manchester in
order to keep such expectations from
coming indirectly into German hands.
The accumulation of cotton in the in
terror towns OF the South is we'll illus
,rated by figures On the holdings OF
three Alabama towns, all within an
area OF forty miles. These towns are
entering the new season with holdings
Of 5000, 400 and 1900 respectively.
although usually at this tine they are
practically bare of cotton. except that
coming from the new crop. Southern
shippers report practically no demand
Tor prompt shipment and Carolina mills
are said to be bidding u cent under
December In New York for shipments
Of combined strict middllng and good
niddling. II spinners keep their ideas
As to the price so low II is not at all
unlikely that a great deal OF cotton will
ind its way TO New York for delivery
on contracts. as New York prices are
really higher than the bids from South
srn spinDers.
The weather In the South over Sunday
vas unsettled. with scattered showers
over a wide area. One Texas cotton
man sent a wire TO some friends here
stating that storm damage had been
rather extensive In Texas, and that the
State would raise less than 5000 900
bales. This message was largely re-
sponsible for the late afternoon rally.
