CONSERVING THE FERTILITY.

The soil being SO important a
factor in human existence and
human happiness, there is required
no apology to be offered for Il con-
sideration of its forces, functions
and character; but rather, if apol-
ogy be needed at all, it is for the
fact that the western farmer, as q
rule, appears wholly indifferent as
to the conservation Of its forces
and fertility. 1t is not SO much
that we do not know what is re-
quired in giving the soil proper
and rational treatment, but from
force of habit and long usage, we
are wholly Indifferent, many OF us,
! in protecting from damage or loss
the great source of our living.

SHEET ZINC.

A SEEMING anomaly is found in
the fact that in the United States
"tin-plate" is the favorite roofing,
the use of sheet zinc for roofing
being almost unknown; and yet in
England, the home of the tin-plate
industry, and in all parts of
Europe zinc is now the most fav-
ored material. A roof of good
tin, properly laid and painted
thoroughly at least once in every
three years, will last from twenty
to thirty years; the life of a slate
roof may be from thirty to fifty
years, while the life of zinc roof
may be estimated from the fact
that the first zinc roof ever put up,
in 1911, exists to-day in good con-
dition.

MONGREL ORCHARDS.

A monsrel orchard, like mon
grel stock, is not good property.
Amy orchard larger than is needed
for family use is necessarily a
commercial orchard. TO be sue
cess as such it cannot be an exper-
iment station, containing all the
varieties catalogued. The grower
who offers large number of vari-
cites with n small amount of fruit
in each variety receives the mini
mum market price, as compared
with the grower able to offer q
crop of q few desirable varieties,
hence it is necessary IN order to
get the best results to grow the
varieties wanted and the varieties
demanded by the consumer. In
fruitful seasons the discrimination

PATCHY BUTTER.

1t is not difficult to get rid of
the patchy appearance of the but
ter by working, if it is cautiously
done. No amount of direct pres
sure will injure the texture of the
butter. 1t is the drawing Of the
ladle over the butter SO as to spoil
the granular texture, by which tue
injury is done. The more butter
lis pressed by The ladle or the
roller of the butter-worker, the
finer will be the grain, the drie1
the butter will be, and the more
even the color.

NEW TOURIST SLEEpERS.
Improved Passenger Service on the Union
Pacific Railway.

The Union Pacific has recently added
two new tourist sleepers to its passenger
service between Milford and Salt Lake.
These cars are attached To the regular
train leaving Milford aU $40 o'clock
every evening, except sundays. They
are the very latest improved tourist
sleepers, having Pintsch gas, Baker
heaters, steam heat and full sized upper
and lower berths and are considered the
very finest tourist sleepcrs in service on
any line. With the addition Of these
cars patrons are f1rnishea the very best
tourist service between Milford and Salt
Lake.
The berth rate between above points
10 only 81 90 and with this class of
sleeper increased patronage of the cars
is assured.

Other Powers We're Represent

Dimensions.

According to the late newspapers
the naval demonstration, off Ports
mouth Harbor on June 26th, in honor
of the celebration of the Queens reign
was one of the most magnificent pa
geants ever witnessed.
There were five miles of British
warships, a display of power unprece-
dented in the history of the world. The
ships were disposed of in five long
lines, each extending from Fort Gill
kicker, in Portsmouth Harbor, to a
point opposite Osborne, Isle of Wight.
The outermost line was composed of
% ships-all battle-ships and cruisers.
The second line was similarly COM
posed of 80 ships, the 38 ships running
eastward as far the 29th ship. The
third line was composed entirely of
small cruisers, torpedo-boats, gun
boats and gun-vessels, while the last
nine ships were fine mast-rigged YES
sells of the training squadron, relics of
the old days, before steam superseded
sail. Inside this was the fourth line,
which was one of the most interesting,
for no fewer than 80 of the 40 vessels
composing it were destroyers of the
latest pattern; the remainder were
smaller craft.
Lying close in shore, on the Isle of
Wight side, were the foreign ships, as
follows: Austrian, Wien; German,
King Wilhelm; Spanish, Vizcaya; Am
erican, Brooklyn; Russian, Russia;
French, Pothuau; Dutch, Evertsen;
Portuguese, Vasco de CANA; Norwe-
gian, Fritz Swedish, Gotta; Danish,
Helgoland; Japanese, Fuji, and the
King of Slams graceful cruiser yacht
Maha Chakrakoi.
The line was inspected by the Prince
and Princess of Wales, Empress Fred
erick, the Duke and Duchess of York,
the Duke of Coburg and the Duke of
Connaught. The royal salute, which
was accorded them, was nothing short
of a terrific cannonading. The illumi-
nation of the fleet in the evening lasted
from o'clock until midnight. Thou

cursion craft passed up and down the

Rapidly Forsaling Customs OF Their
Old wild Life.
ASHLAND, Oregon, June 24.-Let-
ters from Maj. c. e. Worden, in charge
of the klamath Indian Reservation,
who is now at Yainax, in the heart of
the great klamath basin, show the re-
markable Improvement which has been
made in the condition of the klamath,
Modoc and Pa-Ute Indians by the al
lotment of land in severalty and the en-
couragement given by the agent for es-
tablishment of homes, raising cattle
and growing crops. The Major expects
to have all the Indians located upon
their allotments this season. He has
almost completed the allotment of the
Klamaths, is nearly through with the
Modocs, and expects to begin with the
Pa-Utes next month. He has just fin
ished the survey of an irrigating ditch
six miles long, which will bring water
upon all the Indian lands in the
agency.
The Indians this season sowed 1 200
acres of grain. They have thousands
of cattle, and they attend to their
ranches like white men, branding their
stock and keeping up fences and cor
rails. They are rapidly forsaking their
old wild life and its customs, for they
are quick to see the advantages of civ
ilization, especially for their children.

President Elliot, of Harvard, was re-
Gently asked his opinion of the action
of Cambridge University, England, in
refusing to allow women to take it's
degrees, and he made the following
reply:
"Of course, / do not intend to criti-
else the action of Cambridge. There
can be no doubt that it has been en-
tirely consistent with English educa-
tional ideas. American ideas in the
West are far more advanced, and there
we find men and women studying to-
gether and taking degrees without dis
tinction as to sex. This is the case at
the University of Michigan and most
of the Western State Universities.
"Co-education, however is not con-
fined to the West, as the system at Cor
nell shows. But in the East the coed
ucation plan is not SO popular, and /
have no fault to find with the Eastern
idea. Harvard grants no degrees to wo-
men. Radcliffe College, which is the
Harvard annex for women, is a dis
tinct corporation run under separate
management. All the professors, how
ever, are also Harvard professors, so
that we consider the value Of degrees
at Harvard and Radcliffe as equal. The

discovered. no one had any idea of its
value, and but for a closer examina-

Yesterday a Herald representative

an important one, although its extent
had not yet been determined. 1t was
holding its own, however, as develop

thing, it was growing larger. The ore
is being carefully saved, and when it
is shipped it will be almost like send

learned that the 60-foot drift from the

w. f. Snyder of Richfield, one of the

ain district, was also in the city yes
terday. the object of his visit being to
confer with some eastern capitalists
who have been negotiating for a half
interest in the Advocate mine. which
is owned by Mr.. Snyder and A. ].
Moore.
The Advocate is an extension of the
Miller mine on the south, and the cap
italists referred to have offered to make
a cash payment of $4,000 for a half
interest in the property. besides which
they will expend 700 more in its de-
velopment, which will include the cree
ton of mill. Mr.. Snyder, however,
does not consider the proposition fav-
orable. as he is satisfied. considering
the magnificent showing in the Miller
mine, that the Advocate is worth much
more than the sum offered. The Ad
vocate has been opened up along the
ledge in two places, and at the grass
roots the gold bearing quartz is ten
feet in width and carries good milling
values.
In speaking of the other properties
of the district, Mr.. Snyder states that
the Golden Star is looking we'll and
that there is a shipment of high grade
ore on the dump that will be marketed
as soon as the roads become settled.

able prospects of Gold Mountain. and
only needs development to come to the
front; while the Fit. Dodge, which is
owned by Snyder and Johnson, and
which is located between the Annie
Laurie and the Congress. has all the
earmarks of a prolific producer.

men, who are driving In on the vein
and disclosing fine bodies of milling

on for the Bullion Beck, and that work
In the operation of this valuable prop
erty will be resumed at an early day.

for itself this season and that in time
it will develop into one of the richest
