When Wanting to Fight.

Two tribes of Indians in the upper
part of California had as a boundary be-
tween their districts low ridge where
the streams headed. If you should go
to where one of these streams, Potter
river, rises. yon would see still stand
ing tall pile of stones beside IL never
failing spring. On one side of this cairn
was the territory of the Pomo Indians,
and on the other the land of the
Chumaia. These tribes were enemies,
and were often at war When the
Chumaia wished to challenge the others
to battle, they took three little sticks,
cut notches round their ends and in the
middle. tied them at the ends into fag-
got. and laid it on this cairn. If the
Pomos accepted the challenge, they
tied a string around the middle of the
three sticks and left them in their
place. Then agents of both tribes met
on neutral ground and arranged the
time and place of battle. which took
place ac, ordingly.-Ernest lngersoll. In

Creamery and Dairy.

To our notion good dairy butter is the
best butter that was ever made. But
little of it brings as good price as
creamery and for the reason that it is
not as generally we'll made. 1t is often
said that the only difference between
creamery and well made dairy butter
is that one is made in the creamery and
the other in the dairy. That is not all
the difference. Creamery butter sug-
gests to the public good quality and
dairy butter suggests inferior quality.
There is great injustice in this unquali-
fled estimate. No doubt of that. But
if the dairy has the same facilities for
making butter that the creamery has, 1t
will always he just as good, and as
matter of fact much better than great
deal of creamery butter is. Whenever

One thi & must be made a conspieu-
Gus feature of dairy education, and that
is i'm the matter of milk values. There
are only two kinds of milk the dairy
man needs to look after. One is milk
for special butter making, and the other
is commercial milk. This is the end Of
the law. The commercial milk is an
article equally valuable for the cheese
maker and the city trade i'm milk. from

is not in the feeders power to elect.
