Bacteria and Flavor.

The great difficulty with most butter
makers is that they do not com

Of the word does not always result in
milk souring with the best flavor, as
all COWS are usually MIXED In the
stable during the winter months and
in a real warm barn we usually find
that the putrefactive bacteria are
found in abundance. These get into
the milk while milking and contain

or smell just how the milk Is going
to sour.

The Bacon Idea.

Prof Thomas Shaw: In our judy
ment no more important question con-
fronts the growers Of swine to-day.
The operation of breeds is only a lit
tie pigmy compared with the gigantic
question of lard and bacon swine. 1t
means more to the country than many
shall ever know. Millions in our judg-
ment are bound up in 1t, since 1t
bears directly on the stamina OF swine,
upon their prollfcacy, upon correct
methods of feeding swine and also
the soil, and upon providing for MAJ
the kind of pork which is most to his
liking. But do not look for the bacon
idea to prevail in this country, as 1t
does in Canada or Denmark for many
years to come, II indeed ever, especi-
ally In the corn belt. do not, there
fore, plead for the bacon idea to cap
ture the British bacon market as those
countries have, but rather because OF
what there Is in the idea for us. My
contention is that we can grow bacon
pork more cheaply pound for pound
than we can grow lard pork. And
when we do grow 1t we have a super
ior quality of meat. We can grow
bacon more cheaply because swine
thus grown are more prolific, they are
less liable to diseases, and can better
resist disease when 1t comes. Such
pork is more relished by the consumer
and will eventually command higher
price and the notifications necessary
in growing 1t will have benefcent in
fluence on the industry and on the
maintenance Of fertility in land.

Prof. Horace Atwood, West Vir-

home of the brides parents in Wide
Hollow last Wednesday evening, Feb

Edythe Morrison, longtime sweethearts,
were united in marriage by Rev. II. NJ.
Bartlett of st. Michaels Epi scopa
church, this city. The house of A. w.
Morrison was tastefully decorated to
receive the invited relatives and friends
of the contracting parties, and the
scene, as such scenes always are, was
beautiful to look upon and afforded a
panacea for the minister and his wife.
who had been badly frightened as the
result of an accident occurring to the
vehicle in which they were riding while
enroute to the Morrison residence.
Both young people are we'll and favora-
bly, known to the people of this valley,
and will make social addition to the
residents of Mabton, at which place Mr..
Stair has charge of the st. Paul and
Tacoma Lumber company. THE HERALD
extends congratulations.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Is1 suIcIuEp
". ". Britt, Formerly of Minnesota,
Dies at O'Clock p. m. Tuesday
Apparently from Morphine.

At the home of Prof. w. L. Wright,
sos North Third street, yesterday after
noon at o'clock, a man by the name of
W. w. Britt, formerly of Morris,
Mimi, died. At the time of going to
press a coroner's inquest had, not been
held, but from all the external evidence
and judging from similar cases expert
enced by the attending physicians, Drs.
Fletcher and Dulin, it would seem that
the deceased was the victim of an over
dose of morphine. Whether admins
tered by his own hand with...suicidal
intent, or through accident or any other
surmise, of courae under the present
surroundings no one is in a position to
state.
There is no apparent reason why the
man should have killed himself. Those
who know him say he had considerable
property. He was rooming with the
Wright family, who claim to have
known him back east. He is known to
have drawn $500 draft the other dav.
but his account with the First National
bank of this city shows a credit balance
of $500. He did his banking business
only with the First National. A pecu-
liar circumstance in the case without a
reasonable explanation lies in the fact
that since the 18th day of February
deceased had a room in the Imperial
hotel, but the landlady, Mrs. T. Y.
Shuck, says he never once slept there
over night. The Wright family say he
has always roomed with them. He does
not seem to be known by any other peo-
pie here, and has only been in the city
since January IL.
Deceased leaves two sons and a dauph-
ter in North Dakota who have wired for
particulars. The case will be fully
probed into and perhaps veil OF mys-
terry will be lifted
There is no evidence of suicide except
that late yesterday morning when the
Wright family arose, about IL 80, groans
were heard to come from the room oc-
cupied by deceased Prof. Wright
knocked at the door, and obtaining no
answer, went in to find the man uncon-
scious and dying. Drs. Fletcher and
Oulin were hurriedly summoned but
the man was beyond all human help.
Not thing was found in the room ex-
cept an envelope with the corner torn
off, that would lead to the suicidal
theory, and in this envelope could be
found no trace of morphine or any other
poison. Not a word OF any kind was
written by deceased disposing of his
property, which the Wright family af-
firm is mostly in land situated in Da-
kota. If the man suicided no reason
appears for the rash act.
Later-lt has been decided to hold a
coroner's inquest Thursday at , p. m.

The NORTHERN PACIFIC
MAY HAVE BILL PASSED
A Storage Reservoir Idea That Would
doubtless Meet Approval in Both
Yakima and kittitaS.

While the forces of the two factions
the Blaine irrigation proposition are
expanding their energies at Olympia
pro and con, new light has been
thrown upon the situation which may
result in compromise measure that
will add luster to the efforts of Yakima
citizens who have protested against the
original measure as fostered by the
Washington Irrigation Company. At
the time of going to press three of North
Yakima's prominent citizens, w. p.
Guthrie, II. B. Scudder and G.. S. Ran
kin, are closeted in Tacoma with several
Northern Pacific officials endeavoring to
get together on new bill for the stor-
age of waters which, if passed, will APP
proach very near the plan outlined by
the government-that is, permitting the
construction by individuals or corpora
tons of reservoirs for storage purposes,
but compelling them to turn the water
out for the benefit of actual consumers
at given specified price and not hoard
the same for their own private use.
OF course if the government ever con-
structs a reservoir for the benefit of the
people, users will be compelled to pay
for the water. If it comes to show
down where some kind of bill is to be
passed at this session. the last propo-
sition as supported by the Northern Pa
cific appears to be fairer and will come
nearer to touching the needs of the
whole people until such time as the
government can take entire charge.
