A Montana item says: The dairy
building at the experiment station Cat
Bozeman) is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. Its dimensions are 28x44
feet, two stories and of frame con-
struction. The west side on the lower
floor will be devoted to the manufac-
ture of butter, while on the east side
will be the cheese watts and other ma
chinery for turning out first-class
cheese. The upper story will be used
for class rooms. The dairy will have
capacity of about 1000 gallons Of
milk every day, and the work will all
be done by the students of the agri-
cultural course. The cost of the
building will be $4,000, the amount
appropriated by the last legislature.
The equipment is already on the
ground and will be installed just as
soon as the building is completed

S selling Cream.

e. C. Jacobs When we commenced
to use the separator we found the
cream was of superior quality for
table use, and took a few samples to
our butter customers, with the result
that it soon had a prominent place
in our weekly load, with profit to
us and satisfaction to the customers
that has resulted in our seldom being
able to supply the demand for It, IT.
SENS strange that with so much dairy
product seeking a market. good, rich,
sweet cream is often hard to obtair
in the city at any price. From my
own observation | think that much
more cream is being used than a few
years ago, and much more would be
used II good article could always
be obtained.
know of no more profitable way
of selling cream than in connection
with butter trade, as then the de-
livery can be done at the same time
and usually to the same people. Then,
1t is a profitable way TO dispose OF a
surplus that is quite liable to accu-
mulate in May or June, as more cream
is usually wanted in summer than in
winter. and 1t is often difficult to ad
just the supply to the demand through
out the year, but by selling both ]
think 1t is easier to manage. Cream
is taken Immediately from the sepa-
rator, set in ice water and stirred
until cold. Think it would usually
test about 80 per cent butter fat, al
though do not make q practice OF
testing 1t, being guided by the amount
of butter yielded at the previous
churning and the appearance of the
cream, aiming always to have cream
rich enough to whip when in proper
| ondition.-Farmers' Review.

Divers Get Angry.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one OF the strange effects of diving is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea.
AS this usually passes away as soon
as the surface is reached, it is prob
ably due to the pressure of the air af-
fecting the lungs. and through them
the brain. The exhilaration and good
temper Of the mountain climber is a
contrary feeling from the opposite
cause. A diver becomes so angry at
some imaginary wrong-doing on the
part of those in the boat above that
he gives the signal to be pulled up
with the intention of knocking the
heads off the entire crew"-only to
forget what he came up for when the
surface was reached.

Water for HOGS.

Owing to their fatty makeup, the
hog suffers most of all the domestic
animals, when deprived of water. In
order that they may do their best,
they must have pure water, not once
or twice day, but all the time. This
can best be provided, where there is
not running water, by having a
square trough, to which is fitted a
float valve at one end This trough
should not be over ten inches high.
and should be protected by mailing
Stats across, to keep the hogs from
getting in and soiling the water. This
trough should be fed by a pipe lead
ing from reservoir or large tank.

watering devices attached to tank

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and testifying to the
merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-nai is
the catarrh remedy of tho age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost ON
nipresent Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
Lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
it's victims Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great REM

The overworked Factory Manager.

In the factory where the manager
is overworked and has to do most
of the actual making of the butter
attend to the machinery and other
duties. it is almost impossible for him
to devote his attention to the fine
points of factory management He
has neither the time nor the inclina-
ton to work in the best interests of
his employers. The manager must
necessarily be student and should
have time to read and think, as well
as work. 1t is false economy to work
short-handed In any business, more
especially in dairy factory, where
seven days week have to be taken
into consideration. therefore the ex-
ira help required should be ungrudg-

The first shooting took place back
of Dan Weaver's billboards near the
Spokane theater, after which the men
went to the Bohemian saloon at
Sprague avenue and Post street and
continued their debauch.
The bartender said Wilson, Howard
and Chamberlin had been drinking all
afternoon. When they returned to the
Bohemian about 9 o'clock Wilson had
been shot and was bleeding.
DR.. J. B. Munly was called, but be-
fore he arrived the men had left.
Detective McPhee arrived at the
hotel with the patrol and arrested
Howard, who. when he was finally
separated from Wilson. ran into
room of the barroom.
At the station both men were lock-
ed up-Howard charged with at
tempting to kill his friend, and Will.
son. whose injuries are not serious,
with being disorderly.
At 10 o'clock this morning Wilson,
the wounded man, was taken to Sa-
cred Heart hospital. where his
wounds were dressed. He was wound
over his left ear. a shot through the
neck, bullet lodged in the muscle of
his left arm just above the elbow
and wound in his right breast. The
latter may prove mortal.
On the wound being probed it was
found that the bullet was lodged
against a rib just under the right
arm.
When questioned regarding the af-
fair by a Press reporter. Wilson said:
Howard first took two shots at
me near the Spokane theater. One
pinked me on the scalp. We'd been
drinking all afternoon and are good
friends. Perhaps there were women
in the affair. 1t don't matter. any
way. as it was nothing but a drunken
row.

bloody visage, came up and inquired:
"Where'd that id drummer
go?" Chamberlin and Colville. who
were with him, told the wounded
man to let the man alone.
No sooner had the three gone into
