In selecting number, try to have
them as uniform rs possible.
Never select a rooster for breeding
without u dropping or ''ewe" neck.

4. Handling the Product Of the
Dalry.-Although this part Of the sub
ject comes last in this article, it by
no means should be thought Of the
least Importance; indeed, upon this de-
ponds the financial success of the bust
ness. A good deal depends on how
you dispose Of your product, but in
either the retail milk trade. patroniz-
ing cheese factories, or home butter
making, offer nothing for sale unless
It Is of tho best. The cows should he
carefully brushed before milking, and
the hands Of the mixer kept perfectly
dry during the operation. As We use
q creamery and make butter, shall
conAne myself to that method. Use
tin pals for milking. great care being
taken to thoroughly scald and clean
them. Do not let them stand in the
stable after being filed, but strain the
milk as soon as you get enough to I'LL

milk through four thicknesses of cloth,
aside from tho strainer on the pail.

WILL RESUME OPERATIONS
The Bi-Metallic Mine and RuIlSey Mill
to Be Worked Again.
Added to This Welcome News LIS the
Report That the Combination
Mine and Mill will BE Started
UP in Very Short Time.

The good news has been in circulation
during the past week to the effect that
some of our mines and mills, which have
been idle for months, would soon be
started up again. Upon investigation,
THE MAIL has found it to a fact. The
Bi-Metallic mine will be started up and
the ore will be worked in the Rumsey
mill, for time at least, until things can
be gotten in shape at the Bi-Metallic
mill. Forty stamps will be Immediately
put in condition for work. Tt is said
that it is hardly probable that the mill
will be in shape to begin operations much
before the first of next month. The ore
from the Bi-Metallic mine will neces-
sarily have to be hauled to the Granite
tramway, when it will be transported to
Rumsey by the tram. The Bi-Metallic
mill will continue to run on tailings,
though it is said that several changes
in its construction will be made.
There is also said to be movement
on foot to resume operations on the
Combination mine and that some sort Of
tramway will be built to transport the
ore from the mine to the mill instead Of
being compelled to haul it in wagons as
has been the custom in the past, which
is much more expensive than a tram
after the first cost has been considered.
The resumption of work in these lead
ing properties Of the district will be
good news indeed to the people Of
Granite county, as large force Of mon
will be required to operate them.
