RIVAL LIGHT COMPANIES.
CITY or Tacoma and Private Corpora
ton I'm Connnetif ION

Tacoma, July S-Speciai-An interest Il az
war Is on between the city and Mayor
Fawcett on one hand and the Tacoma Gas
and Electric Light Company on the other.
IL Is light for business, and so far IL has
been waged with great energy by the op-
posing sides. Realizing some time ago that
tne earnings OF the light and water plant
would have TO be applied in part to the
payment OF salaries In other departments
IL the city employees were TO receive any
thing. pending the funding OF the OUT
standing warrants. Mayor Fawcett began
an active personal canvass among the
business houses OF the city who were not
patrons Of the city light plant, with the
object OF getting their business. The pri-
yate plant has two incandescent machines
and five arc machines, and is running
nearly its full capacity. Consequently the
business IL takes away from the city Is
quite large.
Mayor Fawcett found Il an uphill task
TO get patronage from the city's COMPETE
tor. The latter has gas plant. and IL
consumer is not satisfied with his electric
lights from the city, he Is forthwith i'm
pressed with the cheapness OF gas. For.t-
fed In this way. the private company has
been able 10 Withstand Mayor Fawcetrs
persistent assaults with comparative COM
piacency.
Mayor Fawcett Is aggressive as well az
persistent. and he has carried the war INTO
the enemy's camp with enough success to
quite satisfy himself. He Is making prog
ress. he says. The amusing part OF the
controversy is that as soon as one side has
secured a consumer from the other. the
rival Immediately sets to work to get II
back.
A short time ago the gas company closed
contract with the Tacoma Railway and
Motor Company, whereby the latter is to
run the formers electric machines at its
power house on A street. This will result
in a saving to the city's competition OF
s.. 400 yearly. OF course, the gas people
will be able to do business that much
cheaper. This move was in the nature OF
a body hlowto the city. but Mayor Faw-
cett will respond. It Is promised. The gas
company succeeded to the franchise of the
old Commercial Company. which was at
one time controlled by C. r. Wright. II is
claimed by the city that the Commercial
Company did not fulfill Its franchise in
certain important particulars. and IL -
limited at the city hall that strong retaia-
tory measures may be taken by the munic-
ipality In this line.

Cheese ma Fooil


The assumption that cheese is in
ferior as nutritive agent to timed
meats, says the Medical Press and
Circular, is by no means correct. and
from analyses conducted on our be-
half. we are in a position to state that
Cheddar cheese of British manufact-
ure contains a much higher percent
age both of fiesh:forming substances
aud Of fats. than meats. even of the
finest quality. This view was held by
no less an authority than the late Dr.
Parks of Netley, who persistentiy
maintained that cheese contained a
very large amount of albuminoid ma
terial in a very small bulk, and that it
was one of the very best foods for SOL
diers in time of war. DR.. Thudichum,
in his recent work. 1.-The Spirit Of
Cookery" states that cheese lis the
most valuable animal food obtainable,"
and that is is from two to three times
as nutritious as the same money value
of ordinary meat" With the purely
agricultural aspect of the subject we
are not directly concerned but it is
our duty to point out that the argu-
ment freely adduced that Chedd&r
cheese is less nutritious than meat, is
based on an entirely erroneous as.
sumption.

Dairy Notes.

If you caa't raise calf without feed
ing on butter fat you had better not
raise him. 1t won't pay at present
prices.

Unless cream can be kept 80 cool that
the bacteria cannot grow, says Hoard's
Dairyman, it is better to churn twice
or three times a week, than less often.
At this time more than any other the
cow requires warm, dry quarters and
nourishing food. to put her strength In
condition and give her strength to sus.
tain the ordeal Of giving birth to her
young.
The condition of the cream at the
time of churning has much to do with
the quality Of the butter. Whenever
the cream is too sour it becomes faint
ed and taints the butter, destroying
its flavor.
German experiments prove that it
takes one-quarter longer to churn
sweet cream and more of it's fat re-
mains in the buttermilk than In the
case of sour cream. Also that deep
setting yields less butter than the eep-
arntor method. The best results were
from thick, well ripened separator
cream churned at low temperature.

Ration. for MIX Cows.

Extensive experiments in compound
ing economical rations for and in feed
ng milk cows at the Texas station are
detailed in Bulletin SO. AS a food, one
pound Of Alfalfa hay proved to be
equal to a little more than pound
and a half OF cotton seed hulls, and
one pound Of choice prairie hay was
worth q little less than one pound
alfalfa. The addition Of silage cheap
ened ration of hay and grain. Cot
ton seed was the cheapest single food
to give with hay, and cottn-seed meal
was the best and cheapest single food
to mix with hulls, while the hulls were
better and cheaper than hay to mix
with the meal. but the hulls should
not be fed continuously as the sole
forage to milk cattle. Cotton seed
hulls and corn meal increase fat rapid
ly but do not yield large flow Of
milk.

herds of milk cows. the professor re-

Peas and Oats.

In "time of peace prepare for war;
is more essential in dairying than in
National affairs, for while the enemy
only comes once In generation or
two, the drought 'hits'' the dairyman
more, or less; certainly as often as
once in three years. How to bridge
over this chasm is important, for
chasm 1t is, and to be unprepared to
meet It 10 to suffer great loss in milk
yield. To best meet this condition M
plies raising some crop to meet this
want, and IL not needed, it can be put
away against the time Of q rainless
day. At a recent dairy meeting one
gentleman there spoke to the effect
that for the past seven years he had
always sown oats and peas in the
spring, and also in early summer. at
intervals Of about fifteen days, and in
no case had the dry weather so dam
aged this crop as to leave him with
out a fair soiling crop, and when not
needed he had cured the balance for
hay, and regarded it. even then, as the
full equal Of the best of clover hay.
He would never broadcast the peas,
but pillow them In at least 4 IL inches
deep, 80 that the roots would be In
moist cool soil. A week later he threw
I IL bushels Of oats to the acre on
this pea ground, making bushels of
seed all told to the acre, and gave
them a single narrowing. This also
killed all surface weeds and gave the
crop full control Of the ground. The
seed peas need not cost much above
81 per busheL or less than 81 for the
seeding Of an acre. This crop will
come IN play by July 10 and through
August, and will prevent the shrink
age Of milk consequential dry pasture
feed, amounting In the aggregate to
several times over that Of the cost Of

I CERTAIN DAIRY ESSENTIALS.

si8sHs Every Detail,

Vntform System Of Management in
Every Detail.
With dairying, as with nearly or
quite everything else connected with
the farm, certain essentials are neces-
sary IL the best results are realized. To
O certain extent the work is the same,
and the difference In the result or the
profit and loss Of the werk is largely
the result of the differences in the
quality Of the product. Many fail to
understand the Importance of these es-
eentials, and the consequence ia that
there Is more or less failure. One of
the first essentials in dairying is good
COWS. The cost Of feed shelter and
care ID the same, whethsr given to a
good COW or q poor one. The good COW
must be one adapted to the purpose for
which she is kept, giving a large flow
of good milk for the feed she consumes.
Good feed comes next, for no matter
how good the animal. she cannot make
something out of nothing. and she
must have good feed and pure water
IL she makes good quantity of milk
Of good quality. There must be regu-
larity In the feeding. watering, milk
ing and caring for the COW, the man

after the better will be the results in
every way. There must he perfect
cleanliness in the feed and water given
the COW, in the quarters where she is
kept, In the vessels used, in the man
agement of the milk, cream and butter,
in the dairy house where they are kept,
and in the way the butter is sent to
market.
There must be uniformity in the
management. There must be no radi-
cal or sudden changes in the character
OF the feed or water. or In the man.
agemcnt of the milk in any Of the de-
tails from the time 1t is drawn from
the cow until it is packed as butter for
the market. The temperature of the
milk and cream must be uniform, the
churning must be done when the cream
has reached a certain degree of ripe
ness, and the churn must be stopped
at the proper time. There must. in
fact, be uniform system of manage
ment in every detail. No one plan of
management will be best under all
conditions. Each dairynan must in a
great mea sure determine which is the
best plan for him. only it must be one
that will give uniformly good quality
of product at a low cost. and if this is
done dairying will pay fine profit

tyseventh assembly district, tells this
story Of q monkey, with moral to it:
"The wife Of friend had a pet
monkey Of the name Of Pete. Pete
was a clever little rascal, who knew
oil the children in the neighborhood,
and was we'll liked. Whenever child
was sick the parent would come to
my friends wife and get a loan Of
Pete for day or two. He would
amuse the sick child by his queer an
tics and do it more good than all the
doctors and medicine in New York.
But Pete was a thief. He could not
help stealing, but he stole only for the
sake Of eating. He loved sugar, eggs
and pastry, and would take all sorts
Of chances to obtain what he liked.
One day, only a short time ago, my
friends wife was about to make a
cake. She beat the eggs and sugar
into a large china dish and was about
to put in the raisins and -four when
She had to leave the room. After she

and emptied it. Then he quickly de-
voured the raisins. When my friends
wife returned she found the best part
Of the intended cake gone, She knew
who did it, although to look at Pete
no one would suspect him, he looked
SO innocent.
"When Pete did anything wrong he
was deprived Of his liberty by being
tied up to his cage. He was punished
in that way on this particular occasion,
and was put outside the window on
the sill. My friend lived on the Sec
ond floor. About an hour later Pete's
mistress went into the yard and look
ing up saw Pete. He was mad clean
through and kept chatting and showed
his teeth. The lady shook her hand
Mt Pete and said: You're a naughty
monk, Pete. This made Pete wild and
the next moment he picked up his
cage. forgetting that he picked up his
it. and hurled it 1T my friends wife.
OF course Pete went with the cage
and landed head first on the pavement
in the yard. He fell fully forty feet
and was instantly killed. My friend
felt sorry about Pete's death, but it
taught him lesson, never to let his
temper control his actions. Pete was
buried in the back yard, and over his
grave is tombstone on which is in
scribed. Sacred to the Memory of
