The Cow and the Mixer.

From Farmers Review: The cow
Is the greatest source of contamina-
ton in the production of milk. When
COWS are kept in filthy stable, as is
frequently the case, they are often
covered with dust at milking time,
and their sides, tanks, bellies and I'D
ders are sometimes plastered with
manure. Cows in this condition can
not be MIXED without seriously con-
Eliminating the product. They should
be kept clean at all times, and this
Is not so difficult to do If the managers
are properly arranged, the stalls Of
the right length, and fair amount Of
bedding is used. All loose dirt should
be brushed from the COWS and the
udders should be washed before milk
ing. If the COWS are in the stable the
greater part of the time the dung
should be removed at least twice q
day, and the stable should be 80 ar
ranged that there is an abundance of
light and good ventilation, even in
coolest weather, without causing a
draft directly upon the cows. The
floor and hangers should be cleaned
frequently and the walls and stalls
scrubbed and whitewashed as often as
they become soiled. Bedding and dry
fodder should not be moved just pre-
vious to milking, as this makes a
dust which settles into the milk, car
rying with it many bacteria The air
outside is usually comparatively free
from germs land the better the ven
tilation the fewer germs will the sta
BILE air contain. Many times the milk
or goes to his task of brushing horses
or doing other dirty work, with his
hands soiled and his clothing thickly
covered with dust. Both so1led hands
and dusty clothing are loaded with
germs that injure milk. Before begin
ming to milk the mixer should cleanse
his hands and slip on a clean suit and
cap which are used for no other pur-
pose and which may be easily~washed:
He should always milk with dry hands
and never allow his hands to come In
contact with the milk.-W. J. Fraser,
University of Illinois.

Locating the Creamery.

The keen competition in modern
butter making necessitates systema-
tized work. The minor details closely
allied, in this vocation, must be taken
into consideration in order to lessen
the cost of manufacturing butter and
at the same time to produce an i'm
proved article. To do this we must
look for the most improved and eco
nomical methods, take advantage of
all natural means, locate judiciouslJ,
manage affairs on business principles,
and look for most convenient arrange
ment. The latter is the easiest to OBJ
tain and yet in glancing over the
different factories that are in exist
ence at the present time, we find
this point sadly neglected. There is
need for better creamery buildings,
buildings that are more convenient in
arrangement SO that they can be kept
sanitary. In launching into this bust
ness we must first look for a suitable
location. The most necessary re-
Qulrement is to locate near the center
OF milk producing district, or rather
In section Of the country where the
people are naturally inclined toward
dairying. It Is essential to have a
sufficient number of cows to in
sure enough milk to make a creamery
profitable. The total cost of running
creamery and marketing the prod
uct, including interest on the invest
ment and provision for sinking fund,
ought not to exceed 31a cents for
every pound of butter made. Under
favorable conditions this cost ought to
be reduced to 3 or even as low as ~
cents. The smallest practical cream
cry cannot be operated for less than
81 or IS per day. It becomes evident
then that the daily product should be
over $50 pounds as safe minimum.
Consequently no creamery should be
put into operation unless having con-
troll or a promise of about 300 cows.
A reliable supply Of good pure water
is another requisite Of great import
ance. Cold water is advantageous in
every respect and at the same time
saves ice. The surroundings should
be such as to insure pure air with as
little dust and direct exposure to sun
light as, possible. A lawn around the
creamery with some trees and shrubs
will aid in purifying the air besides
making the surroundings more attract
i've. A creamery should be located
within reasonable distance of some
shipping point. where the product can
be marketed to the best advantage
and so that the factor of transporta-
ton shall not enter in to offset the
profit.-Oscar Eli, Before Wisconsin
Buttermakers.

Why the Woman Succeeds.

why the woman succeeds.
Women make the best and most
successful poultry raisers, though per-
haps not always the most keen trad
ers when it comes to the buying and
selling of poultry and poultry prod
ucts. But for the mere raising of birds
and bringing them to maturity she is
a success, It is partly because she
has the instincts of a mother and
see things that the man poultry rails
er does not. In the first place she
makes a continual war on dirt and
lice. She abhors them in the poultry
house as she would in her own family
She wages on these two public enc
mics such a warfare that she conquers
them, and when she has won that vic
tory she has gone good way toward
success. For the most disastrous
things in the line of poultry pests are
dirt or lice. Some years ago the
Farmers Review sent out large
number of inquiries to poultry raisers
asking what was the greatest cause
OF losses in the poultry business. The
replies that came back said lice, more
chicks being lost from lice than from
any other one cause. So we see that
the woman, in getting rid of the lice,
has removed the first great cause of
failure with chicks. The woman sue
ceeds also because she takes infinite
pains with what she is trying to do.
She does not feel that she has to do
everything on wholesale scale-that
she has to have the houses cleaned
out once a month, when they have
become dirty enough to make it an
object to clean them" She has
enough care about their clearly con-
dition to have them cleaned several
times week, and sometimes she has
the work done every day. She watch
es for the coming of the lice and does
not wait till there are a million or
more before discovering them. Under
such condition it is not easy for
vermin to get start, and without get
ting good start they cannot become
formidable. The woman also sue
ceeds because she has an interest in
the appearance Of the premises. She
objects to delapidation in every form.
The old, fence. is whttewashed, the net
ting is mended as soon as it gets a
hole in it, and the rat hole Is stopped
up as soon as it is made. The win.
dows are so arranged that they will
dry the floors as well as give light
to the poultry. These are some of the
reasons why the woman succeeds ad.
mirably in the care of fowls.

LiQht Brahmas.

The leading variety of the Asiatic
class is the light Brahma. This fowl
has history that would fill pages
were it recorded. They are the fowls
which caused the 'hen fever" of the
f1fties, about which so much has been
written in later years. Their early
history is a matter of controversy, the
best authorities differing as to their
origin. They were first known as the
"Brahma Pootras," "Gray Shanghais,' -
"Chittagongs," Cochin Chinas," and
what not. The early breeder named
them according to his fancy for high
sounding and sensational names to
sell his stock. Fabulous prices were
paid for them when the craze for fine
poultry was at; its, height: in the early
days Of the: last half OF the present
century. The. standard of the present
Brahma fowl was fixed In 1869, and
no deviation from the type adopted
then has been made. It has stood
high in popular favor since then with
out abatement: the vast number OF
breeders who are raising them fully
attest their worth as a practical bird
to the industry-Geo. e. Howard.

trades throughout the United States
are expected to be thrown idle ON May
1st on account of the forthcoming de-
mands of the structural iron workers,
whioh the manufacturers have decid-
ed to refuse
1t was learned yesterday that the
manufacturers and contractors who
have been meeting from time to time
in the last fortnight affected perma-
nent organization on Tuesday night
at a secret meeting in an uptown ho-

has appointed a national executive
committee which will appoint local
committees in cities repr scented by
it in the next few days. The object
of this association is to fight the de-

pEABopY,s STATEMENT.

Denver March 4.-Gov. Peabody
said yesterday afternoon: 1.-THE troops
were ordered out at the request of the
sheriff of Eel Paso county. He says
his force of deputies is insufficient to
preserve order. According to his
statements and the other information
l have received conditions are very
bad in Colorado City.
1T is my intention to preserve
peace and order it it Is necessary to
call out every able bodied man in the
state. Those who undertake to create
trouble will be taught lesson. These
men must be made to understand that
they cannot destroy property and the
lives of other men.
1.-The troops are ordered to pre-
serve peace at Colorado City. They
will cooperate with the sheriff. and
order will be preserved at anv cost
l consider that the situation was one
which justified the calling OUT of the
militia that order may be preserved. -

SOUND REASONS.

There are several sound reasons
why the people of this county
should lend their support to the
big Industrial Edition which The
Sentinel will publish about the 10th
of April. In the first place the
edition will consist of 5000 copies
nearly half of which will be cir
culated through this county and the
balance sent through the East just
where the papers will do the most
good Therefore the edition will
serve not only as thorough
home advertisement for the mer-
chant and the owner of property,
but it will likewise be n valuable
indirect advertisement for it will
advertise the county outside and
bring new settlers and industries
into our midst. As has been said
before. the Industrial Edition Will
not encourage the coming in of
more retail houses. but it will
strongly solicit the attention and in
terest of labor employing manufac-
turies. We cannot repeat too of
ten the invitation to outsiders to To-
cate here, and we cannot lay too
much stress on the fact that Grand
Junction is an ideal place for the
establishment . .of manufacturing
plants. The Industrial Edition
will be read eagerly. Its careful
ly-gs sthered histories and informa-
tion and its MANY fine illustrations
will insure this. We feel that the
Industrial Edition ought to receive
the support of every person inter
ested in the upbuilding of this city
and valley.

MAN DEAD
E. P. Ne dham Accidentally
 Kills Himself

With head crushed and face bruised and lacerated, Che dead body Of Edward P. Need am, a w. P. &Y R. section hand, was found Sunday afternoon, ly- ing on the beach where it had evident ly fallen from the approach to Moore's wharf, about half way between Second avenue and the wharf proper. The body was in two feet of water when found, but had probably been where found since Thursday night
 All the evidence indicated and the coroners jury found that the dead man had fallen from the wharf, while intox- icated. and struck head formost on the rocky beach. Dr. J. P. Brawand, who made the examination, says death was caused by the blow on the head, which crushed the skull The fact that more than sS0 in gold and silver was found on the corpse, and the further fact that Needham was intoxicated Thursday evening. and had gone down to Moore's wharf in that condition to see @ friend off on the City of Seattle, were taken as conclusive evidence that the death was due to accident and was not the act of highwaymen. This theory was further substantiatod by the fact that no blood way found at any p.ace on the wharf Needham was missed from his lodging place at the New Home restau- rant, Thursday night.
 The dead man was identified by pa pers found on his corpse and by men who had worked with him at Lorne. He was born at Galway, Ireland 26 years ago, and had served for nearly 10 years in the U-ited States navy be- ing on dozen or more of the ships of the new navy. Besides the gold and silver found on him, he had pay checks and certificates of deposit amounting to several hundred dollars and certificates showing ownership of three mining claims in the Ruby creek country on his body.
 An effort will be made to find the r1l- adves of the deceased. If successful, Che body will be turned over to them.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l
 whitehorse, Nov. 23.- Several min CTS have just arrived from Bullion creek. who were among the first to reach the diggings, and who spent sev- eral days there looking over the creeks. All speak in glowing terms of the new camp. Charles Ward, Charless Swan son. A. R. Gordon and Paul Hogan, ar- rived last night. They reached Bullion creek on the morning of November 9th and spent nine days looking over the camp. They located discoveries on two new creeks and found nattering prospects on each.
 Nugget creek, one of the new creeks, is located about zine miles this side of Bullion, where the trail goes down the steep hill tall who were there will re- member this creek, and about eight miles up the creek, where the iorma- ton and wash are identical with that of Bullion and Sheep There are two pups emptying into this creek. The discoverers found rim rock near the upper pup, built a small fire out of brush las it is above timber line) and thawed out three small pans of dirt which washed out 90 cents, including a little nugget worth 40 or 50 cents. This nugget gave the creek its name. When they left the creek there were nine claims staked. Nagget creek looks good for five or SIX miles.

TWO RICH GREEKS FOUND
 NEAR BULLION
Nugget and Galena Both Promise To Be As Good As the One Which Caused the
 Stampede Few Claims staked

Galena creek is situated between Sheep and Bullion creeks, on the oppO- site side of Sims river, and heads near Nugget creek. Good prospects were found on this creek, but owing to the intense cold weather, very little pros pecting was done, as it was so difficult to wash out the dirt in freezing water. A beautiful piece of Galena ore was found in the creek wash, hence the name of the creek. The formation of this creek is identical with that of the others, the high mountains come down on either side similar to those on Bull lion. This creek looks good for six or seven miles, as far up as the discover CTS went. When they left the camp, there were 12 or IA claims staked on this creek.
 Up to the present time there have been more than 300 prospectors in the Bullion creek camp, and not one can be found who is not highly pleased with the camp, and nearly all intend to re- turn on the snow and prepare for the summers work.
 A well known and thoroughly relia- ble prospector, said today:
 "No doubt this will prove to be the greatest poor mans camp ever discoy- cred in the Yukon or Alaska, as bed rock i. not over from two to 10 feet deep on any of thecreeks found and the gravel is certainly rich"
