GILBERT HUNT FEED MILL.

This roll has no equal in the mar
ket as a feed crusher. The mills
are complete, all ready to belt up
and go to work The rolls and shaft
ing are very heavy, and the bear
ings heavy and long, insuring cool
running journals. The rolls are
slightly corrugated to make them
feed properly, but not enough to
grind the grain fine, as is the case
with most corrugated rolls. The
spring contact on rolls is very cas-
lily adjusted. They have an adjust
able hopper feed and absolute force
feed over the rolls. We make them
in number of different styles, suit
ed to all requirements, and having a
capacity of from ten tons to fifty
tons per day.

DAIRYING AT YAKIMA.

There is money in the dairy business
in the Yakima valley and the farmer
owning a good dairy is sure of good
income each month in the year. AT
present there are 5000 head of good
dairy stock distributed among the farm
ers in the various districts and the
amount of money paid out to the own
ers at the present price OF butter
amounts to $1,250 a day, or $456,25O
in year. These figures represent the
winter business alone. During the
summer months the production Is
about $500 pounds per day, thus ma
terially increasing the yearly value
There are five creameries located in
the valley, to-wit: lockwood and
Meadow Brook, of North Yakima; Mil
Ter Bros, of the Upper Naches; Noun
tain View, at Sunnyside, and one
onwed by Mrs. Carmichael at Yakima
City. besides two skimming stations
that ship cream to the Sound cities,
The product of these creameries is
$500 pounds of butter day. The
ranchers make an average OF l,5OO
pounds of butter day, giving total
at the opening of winter months OF
5000 pounds. The price paid to farm
ers for cream is 2S1A cents per pound
of butter, but the average paid during
a year is 25 cents.
Thus it will be easily seen what
farmer with herd of ten or twenty
head of stock can do by attending to
business. The minimum profits from
a COW, after all feeding and care ex-
penses are deducted, is $3.50 per head
a year The maximum profit for stock
in this valley is $50 per head year,
the returns depending mostly on the
breed of stock and the manner OF
handling them. The cost OF keeping
a cow is figured at about $42.5O a
year. The dairyman who raises his
own feed will get the benefit of this
cost of keeping cow and have a
large profit on his crops, being well
paid for his labor of caring for the
cow. These figures do not include
the value of the milk for feeding pigs
nor the increase in calves.
The lockwood creamery people, O..
augurate a butter factory, and | was
A. fletcher and L. o. Janeck OF this
city, have been greatly instrumental
in developing the dairy business in
this valley. In 1901 they brought 500
head of dairy stock from Wisconsin
and sold them to the farmers on time,
taking the monthly payments out of
the sums received for cream sold to
the creameries. N. M. Snodgrass OF
the Naches introduced 800 head in
this manner the same year, but owing
to the rise in price of such cattle in
Wisconsin, Oregon has been drawn
upon this year for supply of dairy
cows The business is still increasing
at a wonderful rate, having doubled
it's capacity in the last two years.

'The whole thing was an out tout

A general sigh of relief greeted this

What it really was" continued
Uncle Bill, was one-tailed dog with
his tail split in two halves. I bred

His father and his mother were
the two finest durn critters that ever

But he seemed to be in awful ag-

PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT.
Nations Royal Guest Was Entertained
With True American Hospitality.

The prince has come and gone.
He arrived amid the crash of martial
music and the clatter of arms, and re-
ceived a dignifed, cordial, and typically
American welcome. He was royalty en-
tertained, and now that he is gone we
feel that Germany means something more
definite TO US than 4 little pink splash on
the map.
At the White House Monday night the
favor of the state dinner given by the
President. at which his royal highness
was the guest of honor. was decidedly
nautical and internationally patriotic
The large dishes were served from minia-
ture boats. The rich fillet was portioned
by the dusky walters from crockery fash
toned in the shape of yacht, bearing
the name Meteor. The capon was con-
tanned in larger cuisine craft, which bore
upon their prows the name Hohenzol-
lern.
When the ice-cream was served the
climax was reached. The sweet was
brought to the tables in large dishes of
deep yellow, half of them surmounted by
the American coat OF arms-the eagle,
with red, white. and blue shield, and ar
rows clutched In a talon, while the other
half bore the German coat of arms. The
individual ice-cream dishes we're candied
receptacles. nodded In the form of
yacht. bearing the name Meteor, and
the German and United States flags.
The floral and electrical decorations of
the East Room. in which the banquet was
served, were of the more beautiful nature.
The ceiling was canopied with Southern
smilax, and in the midst of the tender
green foliage sparkled hundreds OF in
The Washington times., 1902-03-02

candescent lights In the national colors.
Ropes of smilax studded with lights
swung from the chandeliers in every di-
rection, and along the Orders of the cell
ing were chains of living fire, looped with
jeweled clusters that glowed like topazes
and rubies under their yellow and GRIM
son bulbs. Roses and plants and palms
crowned and banked the mirrors and man
tells. In the deep window recesses stood
tree palms.
The flag decoration was simple. One
Germa and one United States flag hung
in the room.
The main corridor was filled with ferns
The marble busts along the wall rested
on new plush covered pedestals of Grim
son, while the general scheme of decora-
tion was carried out in the Red. Blue. and
Green Rooms with delicately tinted roses.
The table decorations were beautiful.
with central mound of ferns and Eng
lish primroses fianked by silver Candida
bra with pink shades. Stretching to the
ends of the table were alternate mounds

white roses.
The dinner at the German Embassy

guest. and a glimpse of republican sim
plicity was given him at the second dinner

Socially considered. the coming week
promises to be a dull and dreary one.
There will be dinners of course-there
are always dinners-and two or three
people will give small afternoon teas.
Doubtless also, there will be somes few
1unketings OF merrier nature-but they
will be enjoyed in executive session, as
it were-behind closed doors.
Society is not studious this Lent. There
are no French lectures, or talks on va
rious learned subjects given by profess
SIGNALS at the homes of prominent hos
tesses. These may materialize later on,
but we are very near mid-Lent. and
Easter plans and Easter shopping will
soon be very absorbing realities.
For years back the coming of Lent
brought showers of expensive course
tickets, just as surely as the spring
time brings It's flock of birds. Almost
every woman in society received, and
was expected TO buy, more or less Of
these tickets, and while each recital or
lecture was attended by brilliant gath
ering, who doubtless got the worth Of
their money, there was always among
those present" women who felt that they
could not afford SO expensive an amount
Of mental culture, but were ashamed to
admit it, for fear of seeming mean.
Last winter one prominent hostess,
with mint of money, who had previously
been most gracious, refused to place her
drawingroom at the disposal of some high
priest of art, for the very blunt rea-
son that she was tired Of robbing her
friends.
Is there to be a Mi-Careme ball this
year? 1t was generally understood
or TO be quite correct-unamimorsly hop
ed that his Excellency, the German Am
bassador, would be again the host this
year. II was not to be expected, of
course. that he could give a thought to
such frivolity. before the arrival of Prince
Henry, but-the Prince has come and

much in demand.
This may also be the last opportunity
