SLOW WORK.
The Farmers of Mason Valley DO Not
Appreciate the Creamery.


Over two years ago stock COM
pany was formed which erected a
first-class creamery in the upper
end of Mason Valley. This cream
cry has a capacity of handling 20,-
600 pounds of milk, but at the
present time, we are informed, only
about 4, 800 pounds are being used,
this amount being all that the
farmers will furnish. The price
paid for milk is low, to be sure, be-
ing 60 cents a hundred, and there
can be no big money in the bust
ness for farmers; but il is beyond
doubt a better paying proposition
than selling hay at So per ton and
having to feed it at those figures,
and wait an entire season for the
pay. Another thing, if the cream
cry company was getting more
milk to use it could afford to pay
little better prices; there is no
doubt that if the concern was run
ming to its full capacity of 10000
pounds it would be paying farmers
75c hundred for milk.
The creamery is the only manu-
featuring industry in the Valley
which is paying out money to the
farmers monthly, and anybody
with a small herd of % to so dairy
cows can have monthly pay day
of from $50 to 800 from this com
pany by simply supplying the
milk.
A good breed of dairy cattle
should be secured in the Valley
and more attention given to this
industry 1t would be the build
ing up of that section if everybody
who could would get as many
good cows as possible and furnish
as much milk as possible to the
institution.

WHAT DOES 1T MEANT
Fact or Fiction About Two Great
Fair Awards.

a newspaper paragraph denoun-
ces as "false" the claim of baking
powder to an award at the Worlds
Fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why?
Because, as the records show, DR..
Prices exhibited, competed and re-
ceived the highest award, both at
Chicago and the California Mid
winter Fair. The award in Cali
fornia included Gold Medal. The
official examiners pronounced it
the strongest, the purest, the most
wholesome and efficient of all the
baking powders. Its title to conf
dence is unquestioned.
Can it be the manufacturers of
New York powder, fctitiously la
belled absolutely pure" who are
making false" claims? That would
be strange indeed, inasmuch as
they were not even considered in
the awards.
Was it Ammonia in the New
York powder that prevented its
makers from competing? If not,
what?

The Spread of life.

One of the problems that continually
confront the naturalist is to account for
the distribution of identical forms of life
among widely separated localities. Inves-
tigotion frequently shows that this has
been accomplished in many ways that ap-
pear quito simple when once discovered
although one would hardly have thought
Of them in advance of their actual detec-
ton.
Some interesting facts have recently
been CLEANED concerning the dispersion of
fresh water mollusSS, accounting for their
appearance In remote and isolated ponds.
1t appears that water fowl play an impor-
tant part in this work. Ducks have been
known to carry mussels attached to their
ESst n hundred miles or moro. Bivalvo
nollusks not infrequently cling to the toes
Of wading birds and are thus transported
for considerable distances. Even aquatic
insects have been known to carry small
fresh water mollusks attached to their
legs.
In such q manner does nature compel
the various inhabitants of the Garth to as
sist one another whether they will or not.

men, courses about two miles in length
were designated by flags, and long before
the end of the last century cross country
racing was q prominent pastime.
About 1871 the present scheme of handi-
Gaping was inauguratcd, and now the
amount of weight hunter carries is de-
tcrmincd by its past performances over
the jumps and with little reference to its
age, size or sex.
For years the Grand National Stccplc-
chase over the famous Aintrcc course near
Liverpool has been the annual event
among English cross country racers. 1t
is to StcCplCchaSing what the Darby" is to
the regulation sport of kings The course
at Aintrcc is about II miles long, and
thousands throng it yearly to see the cham

The cross country rider made his fash

when fox hunting was inauguratcd at
HackcnSack, n. J. Soon thereafter hunt
meetings We're annual fixtures in various
swell country clubs anxious to enjoy some
thing very English, and about seven years
ago course was laid out and regular stco-
plechase race meets were held at Cedar
hurst. Since then stccplcchasing has
flourishCd Internationally all over the
United States, but it has been enjoyed
principally by society mCn who were anna
tours and who rode for the sport of the
thing Four years ago the Pony Racing
association was organized, and over 100
races were held the first year. Last year
the season included 50 racing days, and
about $40 900 were divided among the
gentlemen riders who competed The
Pony Racing association has changed its
name repeatedly until il is now the Stcc-
plcchasc Hunt and Pony association.
This year many stccplcchase races have
been held at the Bay district track San
Francisco; Hawthorne park, Chicago; the
Philadelphia Country clubs half mile
course, tho Country clubs Clyde park
course, near Boston, and other places.
One of the latest and most important
moves made toward popularizing the sport
was that Of the Concy Island Jockey club,

OYER THIN HIGH JUMPS.
Steeplechasing Is Being Revived
In America This Year.
EXCITING BUT PERILOUS SPORT.

Mr.. Leonard Boyne, the Actor and Gentle
man Rider, Relates a Number of Good
Stories Illustrating the Humorous Side of
Steeplechasing In England and Ireland.
Steeplechasing is to be revived in ear
nest in America, and as the sport is to be
governed by the Steeplechase, Hunt and
Pony association, formerly tho American
Hunt and Pony Racing association, there
seems to be good ground for believing that
future cross country races on this CONT
nent will be- paradoXically speaking, run
strictly Ion the level" In Great Britain,
where stccplcchasing has been intensely
popular for over n century, it is controlled
by the National Hunt association, and in
America the now Jockey club and the
better move could be made than to emu
late the English example and give the con-
troll of stceplechasng to the American
prototype of the National Hunt associa-
ton.
Steeplechasing is an outcome of fox
hunting, and it is said that one of the first
steeplcchases was the impromptu contest
of party of unsuccessful fox hunters,
who agreed to enlivCn tho days dull sport
by racing toward q church whose spire
pointed heavenward several miles from
where their horses stood. The first man
who touched the church with his whip
was declared the winner. The sport soon
became popular among English hunts
