number of carriages were in readiness to
convey the visitors to the park. Arrived
at their destination, short business
meeting was held, after which the visit
ors sat down to tables loaded with the
tempting viands which the ladies of Red
ding know so well how to provide.
Among other dainties, there was an inn
mense game pie composed of quail and
squirrels. At the conclusion Of the ban

ter of ceremonies, arose and called out
Jonathan Trumbull of Norwich, president
of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of
the Revolution, a lineal descendant of
Brother Jonathan of Revolutionary fame,

axle is squared and slightly tapered to fit
into the whirler. A close tit is secured
while the iron is hot. The small pulley is
one and one-half inches IN diameter and
keyed to the axle. The wheel may be of
wood or iron, fifteen inches in diameter,
turning on bolt through the table leg
The most essential thing to secure in the
construction of the machine is the accurate
centering of the whirler on the axle. If
properly constructed the machine will run
with steady motion at a high speed.
When not In use the whirler can be quickly
removed and the table cleared by loosen
ing the key of the pulley and withdrawing
the axle.
The accuracy of the test depends on the
correctness of the sample. 1t should rep
resent the whole lot from which it is
taken. Owing to the tendency of cream
to Use, uniformity can be secured only
by thorough mixing. If samples are to
be taken at one time from a number of
cows or cans, it is well to have for each
small bottle or jar with a distinguishing
number or label. Milk fresh from the cow
is easily sampled by pouring it a few
times from one pail to another, and strain
ing portion at once into the bottle Be-
fore taking test sample from this. mix

The samples that have been collected
may be tested within few hours, or may
be kept number of days by the use of
preservatives. Number the tasks with a
small label or ring to prevent the confus-
ion of results. In making the tests pro-
coed with each flask as follows:

2. Add measure of milk, 1905 c. c.
3. Add acid; shake, whirl.

OF ten and twelve cars each. each section
carrying hundreds of home-seekers. The
latter were hustling around, buying out
tits and bargaining for conveyances to the
border Of the new lands. Others were pre-
pairing to start. and still others were just
going away. There was a bediam in the
streets and confusion everywhere. Those
who waited until today before taking
their provisions for Tuesdays race have
decided advantage over those who rushed
peii NELL for the border. The list OF those
sections reserved for school purposes and
those allotted to the Indians, all of which
Is exempt from presumption, was published
today. Land Commissioner Carter tele-
graphed that settlers can enter lands from
kickapoo reservation, which Is not in
Guided in the lands to be opened to settle
ment, and lies in the very heart of those
that are to be opened. This per-
mission gives home seekers many more
miles of available border where they may
mass for the race. When tie contents of
the telegram became known, hundreds of
boomers hurried to the kickapoo reserva-
ton and have taken up positions. Much
satisfaction is expressed over Secretary
Mobiles order to registers and receivers to
prevent fraud in connection with the
filing of declatory statements by old
soldiers. Traffic in declatory statements
has been suspended, home-seekers regard

admit the largest hog or several smaller
animals. The construction of this cage is
well shown in the engraving. The fr>re
is made of oak or other good timber not
less than three inches square. Three
crosspieces below support solid floor.
Only two are necessary above. Th'se
crosspieces, above and below, are mortised
into the side frame IL inch from the end,
so that board nailed across the end
leaves an opening a little more than an
inch wide, in which the sliding gate may
freely move up and down. Such a
gate is made at each end of the cagc.
The upright bars of the gate are
laid in position and the crossbars
fastened 10 them afterward, making
it impossible to remove the gate The

firmly IN place. A stout latch on the
upper part of the frame and a heavy
staple In each crossbar of the gate fur
nlsh means of locking the gate down or
holding 1t up. An iron rod, terminating
IN hook at the top, is placed near each
corner of the cage. These extend down
through the lower frame, that they may
carry the entire weight when the cage is
suspended.
At the side of the narrow passage in
which this cage rests is a large post. ten
feet high: notched at the top To receive the
lever. The short end of this lever extend
ing over the passage is necessarily three or
four feet long, while the longer end should
be about four times this length, making
the entire lever eighteen or twenty feet
long. A piece of good timber eight inches

lighter without weakening, the lower side
OF the long arm of the lever is tarered Oft
TO the end, where it need not be more
than four inches square. Here 1t bears

confined by guard of iron, allowing

DRIVING ON MUDDY ROADS.
Country Gentleman Explains How to Do
It Without Splashing Wagons.

Every man who purchases new wagon
or buggy, and while the paint and varnish
are yet fresh and brilliant, will naturally
desire to avoid having them splashed with
mud and generally defaced by driving over
the roads of the neighborhood in a muddy
season or after long and heavy rain. The
appearance of such a vehicle is represented
in the first cut, the swiftly turning wheel
having thrown the mud by its centrifugal
force well up on the sides of the covered
top.
Such DETACHMENT is, in a great measure.
unnecessary. A certain velocity NAV be
given to the driving that will prevent
most of the mud splashing, especially if
the mud is thin and shallow. If the
horse is driven on a walk, or about three
miles an hour the mud will adhere to the
rim OF the wheels and be carried up by
them as they revolve. Its weight will
cause 1t to drop on the spokes and hub.
and these, in a short time, will be covered
with 1t in one adherlng mass, as shown in

THREE MILLS LEVY.
That Rate of Tax Will Yield a
Large Surplus.
EIGHT CHINAMEN TO GO BACK.

moval-Tzcoma Exposition News

OLYMPIA, Sept. 20.-[special. 1.-The rate
Of the tax levy to be made by the state
board of equalization at its session begin
ming on September %. is matter which is
receiving attention from the members OF
the board. The annual state expenditures
provided for by law amount TO about $780,
600. The state auditor estimates the total
assessed valuation of the state at $3.50, 0O0,-
600. The revenue law provides that the
state board OF equalization may levy a tax
for general state purposes at a
rate not to exceed mills on the
dollar OF the assessed valuation.
A mill levy, together with the in
come from other sources, would yield
revenue this year of nearly 81, 100, 900, or a
surplus above expenditures Of about $780,
900. A levy of "a mills would
produce, with other revenues, sum
about equal TO the total of the appropria-
tions. But objections are raised TO levy
of less than mills In the first place,
warrants at present are drawn long IN ad-
vance of the collection of the revenue with
which to pay them, and as a consequence
they draw interest for months at the rate
of 10 per cent per annum. If q surplus
was once created in the treasury, warrants
could be paid upon presentation, and large
sums of interest money thus saved 10 the
state. Such surplus would tide over the
period of delay in the collection
of delinquent taxes. On the other hand,
the danger would be that if surplus in
the neighborhood of $4,000 should be
created by 3-mill levy this year and
next. the next legislature might be reck-
less in expenditures. Another objection
to lower rate of levy than mills has
been brought the attention of the board,
and il is serious one. The constitution
directs that "the legislature shall provide
by law for an annual tax sufficient, with
other sources of revenue to defray the esti-
mated ordinary expenses of the state for
each fiscal year" State Auditor Reed
says that under this clause and other pro-
visions of the article on revenue and taxa
ton it is contended that the legislature
cannot delegate to the board of equaliZa-
ton discretionary power to determine
the rate of state taxation; that the legis-
lature alone has the power TO Tx the rate,
and that therefore the board must con-
strue the provisions of the revenue law to
mean that 3-mill rate must be levied. If
another rate should be adopted it is as
serted that property owners so inclined
might seriously delay, if not altogether
prevent, by injunction proceedings, the
collection Of the revenues.
