DE LAMAR DOTS.

Herbert Francis of the Lode, left for his
home in Kansas, on Tuesday.
While Piochers are experiencing rain, hail
snow and half blizzard, we are basking in
sunshine and outside work is not even in
terrupted.
The general opinion is that we ought to
have school district here to be about one
mile and half in circumference from the
post Office.
Charley Garrett, ]. j. Manning and
Barney Coleman have secured lease on the
Magnolia mine, and went to work there on
Thursday last.
Arrangements are made for good time at
Christmas. One feature will be a good
dance, with Richards string band of Hike
in attendance.
The law waving assessment work will be
relied on this year again, to protect most of
the outside locations in the District. The
notices are being filed now in great numbers.
District Attorney VIM. Culverwell is
lying very i'll in town, having been brought
over from the Wash week ago. Kidney
trouble is the cause and his condition is said
to be critical.
Charley Minnoletti, hauling heavy
machinery for the company from Milford,
broke an axle on one of his big wagons near
Bennett Springs Sunday, and is tied up in
consequence.
The DeLamar Co., at its own expense is
ballastng the lane leading from Panacs
westward. 1t was impossible to get the
heavy teams through it. 1t is being rounded
up with Stag from the old smelter dump al
Bullionville.
The DeLamar Company finds it almost
impossible to get in its heavy pieces o.
machinery from Milford. Several of the
pieces weigh as high as ten thousand tc
fifteen Thousand pounds, and wagons canno
be obtained to carry such weights here
abouts Revive one of the old Ham Ligh
ore wagons, now lying at Phoebe, they uset
to carry twenty thousand pounds apiece
often, in the early days.
The attendance at our schools now mum
bers twenty and other children are constant
ly arriving from outside sections. 1t i
realized that something should be imme
diately done to secure for this town prope
share of the school funds soon to be appor
toned. At present there is but one schoe
district here, the Helene district. On tina
we will receive apportionment only for tn
children living in May last at Helene
Since that time DeLamar has been built, al
its present children have come in, others ar
constantly arriving, and the situation call
for the formation at once OF another distric
for this town, and an immediate specit
school census SO that we can share in tn
distribution of funds to be made in January
If this is done our school can be continue
for several months longer than with the pr'
sent funds.

An exchange says that new trial may be
granted Mrs. Alice NJ. Hartley, the slayer
of M. D. Foley as there are several points
upon which General Clarke, who has re-
Gently come into the case, asks new trial.
| 1t is claimed by him that the jury which
convicted her was not constitutional jury
because not composed OF impartial and un-
biased members, and also that several of the
jurors were biased and had expressed their
ideas on the street and admitted it in the
court room when examined. Seven jurors
were examined for bias and said they had
formed unqualified opinions yet they were
accepted, says General Clarke. Another
point is that the court allowed the jury to
receive evidence out Of court and out of the
presence of the defendant. Our exchange
mentions other very strong points on which
new trial may be granted Mrs. Hartley of
Reno.
The heavy rain of yesterday and last
night reminded one of the winter of SO and
go when the country was generally washed
out. During the night the wind blew heavi.
ly and this morning the old stage barn

INFLUENCE OF BREED.

An Important Claim That Has Been veri-
fed by Experience.
It is settled fact that there are ami
mails that possess the quality of more
perfect assimilation of food for the pro-
duction of milk than others, and it is
not unreasonable to suppose that GER
tain breeds possess this quality to a
greater degree than others.
Under what may be termed average
conditions an animal is of little or no
use to the owner unless he is able to de-
rive profit by keeping it. In the dairy
a good animal is the one that will
protitably convert feed into milk, but
ter or cheese. In this, quantity is not
the only consideration, neither is quail
ity. Both are important, but the cost
is rather more important than all else.
There must be a liberal quantity and
the quality must be good. At the same
time both must be secured at cost
that will leave fair per cent. of profit
if rightly managed. And there is more
certainty of doing this with certain
breeds than with others. There may
be individual animals in all breeds that
excel in some essentials, as there are
others that fail almost as regularly.
Yet, generally, there are breeds that as
a class can be depended upon to convert
their excess of food, the amount over
and above what is necessary to sustain
animal life, to milk and cream, and this
characteristic is in the breed to an ex-
tent that it can be depended upon to
transmit this quality from parent to
offspring.-Prairie Farmer.

fortunate is the farm that has u
stream of water running through it,
Tor brook, or even a small rill, not
only brings many material advantages,
but adds greatly to the attractiveness
OF a place. A much larger percentage
of the farms of the country than one
would at first thought suppose are
crossed by running water, often ne
cessitating bridges for the passage of
farm teams, or a foot-bridge for the
family.
1t is unfortunate that so many neg
lect properly to construct such bridges
as are required, for in the often care
lessly built affairs that serve to span
these streams, they miss both the ele-
ment of safety and the element of good
looks. Well-constructed farm bridges
are capable of adding not a little to
the attractiveness of place. Throwing
couple of logs across a stream and
covering these with heterogeneous
collection of planks, or it may be of
round and uneven saplings, does not
subserve safety, convenience or beauty.
The illustrations given herewith show
how farm bridges may be constructed
simply but strongly and in a way to
give an air of neatness to the work.

Experiment with Cows.

three exposed all night, all being fed
alike, showed that the cows exposed

food than those given shelter in the
barn; tLey lost in weight while the
sheltered cows gained, as we'll as gave
less milk, there being a difference of
SIS dollars in favor of giving the cows

large posters printed. containing the
results, which were placed in promi-
nent places for the observation of

suggestion for design of ones own.
PLANT green withes form the sides
above the flooring, and unpeeled trunks
of small growth the portion below.
Where slabs can be obtained with the
bark still remaining upon them, they
can be squared upon the edges, and
used instead of boards for the flooring,
thus adding to the rustic effect of the
whole.
1t is to be remembered that in all the
figures given no attempt is made to
show the entire bridge. but simply the
elevation of one side. Such bridges
will well repay their cost in the added
security they give to men aud animals,
and in the air of business-like thrift
which they give a place.-Webb DON

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

KINDNESS and confidence between the
owner and the cows saves food and
makes profit.
THE churn should not be filled nearly
full of cream. If it is, butter will not
come quickly.
The cellar in which milk is set must
not smell musty. The air must be pure
or the milk will be spoiled.
BUTTER that is in granulated state
should be washed until the liquid that
comes from it is clear of all milky color.
IF butter is colored too deeply it
looks nasty. We believe in coloring
butter because the consumer wants it
yellow. But too much color is bad.
Do NOT apply salt to butter careless
ly. Weigh the butter and then add
salt at the rate of three-quarters of an
ounce Or an ounce to pound and work
it in oroughly.-Farmers' Voice.

SMALL FRUIT FARMING.
When Wisely Conducted the Industry
Pays Fair Profits.

Pays Fair Profits.
The Philadelphia Record says: To
make speciality of small fruits is to
use less land. give the best of cultiva-
ton and apply manure and fertilizers
literally. Instances have been known
where as much as 81, 900 per acre have
been secured from one acre of straw
berries, but such results are an excep-
tion. In this section the experienced
growers do not wait until the season
opens. but begin work as soon as the
condition of the ground permits. If
manure is to be used, nothing that is
coarse is placed on the ground, only
the finest and most perfectly rotted
material being used If fertilizers are
resorted to they are used before the
young sprouts begin to shoot out, and,
if possible, the rows are cultivated, the
object being to have the plant food
within reach of the young plants at a
time when they need it most
In order to give the young plants a
start the land is made rich, and they
are transplanted as early as possible,
so as to give them the advantages of the
spring rains. A dry spell not only in
terferes with their growth, but cuts the
crop from the old bed shoot The
greatest enemy of the strawberry is the
weeds. 1t is easy enough to keep
them down between the rows, and it
the bed is matted in wide row hand
pulling must be resorted to, but If the
young plants are well worked the first
year, and the space between each plant
kept clean, the weeds can be kept
down so as to protect the matted rows
the second year. The young plants
may be put out in rows wide enough to
permit of horse culture, and should be
a foot apart in the rows. Later in the
season they will throw out runners,
which will cover every square inch OF
space in the rows. The plants that are
set out this spring will bear full crop

Mr.. A. o. Jones, worlds fair commits
sioner for Ohio, advocates the use of
convict labor for making paving brick
for use in paving the public highways.
In urging the adoption of his plan in
Ohio he says: "There is no reason
why we should not erect workhouses
in locations where suitable shale. clay
and coal can be procured at reasonable
prices, and near good railroad shipping
points, and have the convicts employed
at brick-making inside of Enclosures,
and even turn the present penitentiary
into huge brick plant, the clay and
coal to be unloaded and the brick load
ed back on cars, and all the rail-
road switching to be done at night

cells. stamping every brick with o. Z.
