Sizzling in Minnesota

In letter to the editor written at
Willlnar, Mimi, July 20, B. F. West
fall says:
II am very sorry indeed to be COM
peeled to remain away from the islands so
long. but business compels me to. My
family is still at East Sound and unless
1 find that my stay here is going to DO
longer than expected they will remain
there until return.
''The heat has been something terrible
this summer; 100 in the shade was COM
mon during the past thirty days-lN to
LOG for the high point during afternoons
and so to IS the low point nights. People
suffered terribly and many poor laborers
died from the effects of the heat. Babies
died by the scores. There is great de-
mand among farmers for horses to do
their harvesting, as there is hardly a
farmer in the country but what lost one
or more horses from the heat. While the
crops are badly damaged there still re-
mains good average crop of all kinds of
grain, as the prospects were good for the
largest crop this country ever had before
the hot spell commenced. In less than
four months from now we can expect to
experience the other extreme. The mer-
curry instead of trying to climb ont of the
top Of the tube will be hiding in the bulb
and the coal barons will be having an in
ming. Anyone who knows Puget Sound
and would stay in this climate two
months must surely have good reasons.
Talk about extremes! Four months from
now we can look for the top Of the mer
curyi2O degrees lower down on the
glass;"

MILK HANDLING

The dairy division of the department
Of agriculture at Ottawa has formu-
lated the following excellent instruc-
tons for milk producers in Canada, and
they should be observed by all patrons
of creameries:
l. Only milk from cows of good health
should be sent to the creamery.
2. Milk should not be sent till the eighth
milking after calving.
8. Only pure water should be given to
cows.
i. Cows shonld always have access to
salt.
(. Cows should never be driven fast,
nor treated unkindly.
6. It pays to make cows comfortable at
all times. -
Z. All the vessels used in handling milk
should be thoroughly cleaned immedi-
ately after use. A washing in tepid
water to which little soda has been
added, will prepare them for airing, that
they may remain sweet. a Drnsn ~ pre- re-
should be protected from dust, which
always carries large numbers of the bad
forms of bacteria.
q Milk with dry hands, and only after
the udders have been washed or brushed
clean.
Q. Tin pals only should be used.
IN All milk should be strained imme-
diately after it is drawn.
II. Milking should be done and milk
kent only where the air is pure. Other.
wise the presence of tainted germs and
odors will-injure.
y. All milk should be aired immedi-
ataly after it has been strained. Thai
treatment is equally beneficial to evening
and morning milk.
| Is. In warm temperature All mii ]
degrees FAIR. or lower.
q MIX stands should be CONSTRUCTED
T., shade cans or other vessels containing
milk. and to protect them from rain
Swine should not be fed near the mill
stand.

Dairy Business Good

Dairy produce receipts indicate that
the Washington butter and cheese
maker has enjoyed highly favorable
and productive season. The cool late
spring kept pasturage in prime condi-
ton, and the ordinary period when
marketings drop off has long passed,
with no serious diminutlon of stocks
coming to hand. Considerable progress
has been made in the conduct of this
industry during the past year, and the
number of new creameries and cheese
factories has increased materially,
though with all the advancement
made receipts from outside sources
continue but little smaller, indicating
that the growth of consumption and
northern demands are keeping steady
pace, and that the field for expansion
is broadening. Because of superior
quality, Washington creamery butter
commands q market at a steadily
higher figure than the best imported
article, and the standard of quality
should be maintained.-West Coast
Trade.

One reason why the people engaged
in dairying are prosperous is because
dairying is a cash business. There Ii
10 credit with the old cow. You feed
her today and tomorrow she pays you
back in cash. The dairyman dOesE't
have to tell his hired man that he can
pay him when he sells his wheat, or
when he sells bunch Of lambs, OF
when the peaches are marketed. He
has the cash every week or every
month. The dairyman need not run a
bin at his grocery or anywhere else.
His business is a cash business, and he
can pay as he goes. This is one of the
basic principles of prosperity. Run I'D
no debts, pay as you 60. 1t gets man
into the habit of doing business on
business principles, and when he does
this he has started OH the road to pros
perity, declares Dairy and Creamery.

The Washington Grain Crop

State Grain Inspector Geo. P. Wright
presents the most optimistic figures
yet given out regarding the probable
wheat product of the state from the
present harvest. His estimate of the
total is 80, $50, 900 bushels, an aggregate
from !, 500, 900 to $500, 900 bushels larger
than last year, and some 100000 or
5000, 900 more than conservative esti-
mates of the grain trade. BY counties
Mr.. Wright anticipates the following
results: Whitman county, 5000, 900
bushels; Lincoln, 100000; Spokane,
100000 Douglas, 1000, 900; Walla
Walla, 5000, 900; Columbia, 5000, 600;

wheat and Corn in Kansas

"Some curious inequalities, says the
Kansas City Journal, fare noted in the
Kansas crop situation. At some points
farmers give pound and quarter
of wheat for a pound Of corn. yet Il
seems to be agreed by the authorities
that for almost every purpose pound
of wheat Is worth more than 9 pound
corn At Wellington bran and shorts
are selling at $1l halfton, yet farmers
are selling their wheat at little over
So half ton. 1t seems unreasonable
that bran and shorts should be worth
more than the wheat from which they
are made, particularly when the hour
nroduct taken from the wheat Is worm
more than SIT half tom"
