Creamery for Washington Harbor.

Washington Harbor, according to
the Port Townsend Call, is to have
new creamery. The promoter Of
the new enterprise is H. J. Bugge, the
progressive Port Williams merchant
and single broker. 1t will be desig-
mated the Washington Harbor Cream
cry Company and will have a daily
capacity of 1,500 pounds of butter.
The plant will be under the personal
management of G. Van Kleffens, an ex-
perienced and successful buttermaker
and a graduate of Pullman college.
The site is admirably adapted for the
purpose-besides having an abundant
supply of pure, cool spring water and
unsurpassed shipping facilities, it is
the natural outlet of an extended dairy
region that presents splendid posi-
bilities. Mr.. Bugge says it may be
possible for the new plant to secure
the output of 500 cows.

find that patrons deliberately try to
ripen their cream at home, because a
sample taken from the ripened cream
will give a more liberal reading with
the oil test than will sweet cream.
On the other hand the Babcock test
will give a rather better reading if the
cream is sweet. For this reason, If
none other, 1 approve of the Babcock
test as a basis of payment for cream
supplied to cream gathering factories"

Canadian Hand Separator Views.

The hand separator is largely used
in Canada. At recent dairy conven-
ton a creamery instructor said:
There are SO creameries in our divi-
sion, and all but ten are run on hand
separating system. We have two in
spectors for these creameries, and
these are supposed to visit factories
which pay SIS each for the service rem
dered, but of the So factories only 80 or
33 agreed to pay the fee"
The reference to hand-separatOr fac
tories called forth an important state
ment from Mr.. Ruddick. 81 believe"
said he, "we would, in shorter time,
reach a high standard in factory pro-
duction if all our factories were con-
Quoted on the whole milk system. But
| have come to the conclusion the
hand separator system is in some Sec
tions apparently the only alternative
for the continuation of the home dairy
system.
l will repeat here what 1 have said
before, that as good butter can be
made under the cream gathering sys-
tenn as the whole milk system, but in
order to do this the conditions must
be right. There must be a more fire.

sure it's delivery while still sweet.
There must, too, be direct control over
the supply from each patron. If the
cream from all the patrons is to be
dumped into one common can during
collection, then the man who receives
it must be in the same position as the
maker to reject that which is unfit
1t would still be better if we could
have individual cans for each patron.
Mr.. McFeeters made a statement on
this point based on his experience as
creamery inspector in western Ontario
during the past summer at has been
suggested" he said, "that the instruct
ors try to meet those who haul the
cream, at the beginning of next season.

ROLLING WITH WIDE TIRES.


can be bought for from $50 to 500 pei
ton. A roller weighing about FIVE tons
is about the proper thing. Steam roll
ers are becoming more generally used
from year to year in our cities ano
towns, and there are many places
where they can be used to advantage
in consolidating the earth roads OF the
suburbs. They are generally more ef'
fective in their work and If kept busy
are vastly cheaper to operate. They
weigh from seven or eight tons up
ward, the ten and twelve ton sizes be
ing perhaps the most popular.
Rolling should follow closely upon
the work of the road grader or scrapeI
so as to consolidate all the loose earth
which the action Of the scraper has
laid in the line Of the roadway. The
roller should pass many times over the
softer portions Of the road, and where
the road is very dry and not inclined
to pack it may be slightly moistened
to hasten the action of the roller. The
rolling should begin at the sides OF the
road and work gradually toward the
center-that is, the roller should be
passed from end to end along the side
of the road, and then the second pas
sage of the roller should slightly Lap
the first until the center Of the road Is
reached.

I'LL, oil has been tried in place of water
as remedy for dust, and the results

there is a very serious one during the
summer months, for there are no gray

The towns of California, which have

are making Of this means Of laying the

Three hundred or $50 barrels Of oil q

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Rules to BE Observed In the Mstts1
of Diet and Exercise.

Rules to BE Observed In the MGtte1
of Diet and Exercise. r,
Positively avoid habitual diet COM
posed too exclusively of one kind OF
food, such as meats or cereals. Such
g diet leads inevitably to disease.
Many cases of sickness, palpitahons,
Bcurvy, skin diseases and headache
are directly due to this improper diet.
Bear In mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Of the foods in ordinary use. They
render digestion imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to in
duce overeating.
Eat sparingly Of fruit, preserves,

con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, OILS
fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich des-
serts, strong grayies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods which form adherent
pastes.
Avoid cold drinks at mealtime, ex-
cept in hot days Avoid uncomforta-
bly, hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreg-
ular hours. Never overrule your appe-
tdte, which is the best index Of the
amount Of food you need, except In
the course of diseases that require
special diet. ......t.
Satisfy your appetite, not your glut-
tony; satisfy your thirst, not your
craving. 81
Salt your food sufficiently, because
salt Is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste.
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only well
chewed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. If they are
DOOR or missing, seek the dentists aid.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental exertion just after meal, but q
moderate exercise, as walking, Will
aid digestion.
Wash your hands with soap and wa
ter before each meal, even II they do
not appear unclean. ~
Brush your teeth inside and outside
ut least once q day, and rinse your
mouth after each meal.
When your stomach Is out Of order,
give it a rest by fasting half q day or
by taking only a little fluid food. x
Remember that the wholesomest
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when

Using Straw to Improve Roads.

The farmers Of Walla Walla county,
Wash, are trying the experiment OF
laying their roads with straw to i'm
prove them, says the New York Trib-
une. Every fall the highways become
deep with dust, making travelling hard
on man and beast. Heavy rains meant
mud, and the dust could not be re-
moved without destroying the road
way. 1t then occurred to an enterpris-
ing individual that If all Of the farmers
would contribute straw and oil hands
assist in laying it on the roads most
travelled there would be a great change
for the better. The experiment was a
decided success. The farmers turned
out in force, plenty Of straw was Of
fered, ready hands laid it to the depth
Of a foot or more on the main thor
oughfares of the county, and travelling
became easy. Three hundred miles of
roads will be covered with straw this
fall,

ROLLING A HIGHWAY.
Some Points About Road Rollers and
Their Use.

Their Use.
Every road is made smoother and
harder by rolling, and dirt roads are
no exception to this rule, says Isaac B.
Potter. We have all noticed that the
hardest and smoothest parts Of a coun-
try road are the narrow strips which
mark the passage Of the wagon wheels
that have gone over it, and these parts
have become hard and smooth because
the wheels have acted as rollers. But a
wagon wheel is not always very sat
Isfactory roller, for the reason that the
wheel tires are too narrow, and when
the road is wet and soft the narrow
wheels sink into the surface and form
ruts and cut and mix and mangle the
dirt out of all reason and destroy the
good qualities Of the roadway. If all
the wagons used on country roads
could be provided with tires four inches
wide, they would roll the surface more
smoothly and more quickly. and 1t
would be in fairly good condition for
nearly the whole year round.
A good horse roller will serve much
to cure this difficulty, and such roller

How to Treat the LIDS.

The lips should never be rubbed with
strong scent, such as eau de cologne or
vinegar or lemon. Friction Is also
yeyy bad for their well being. Lips
may be only a pale pink, but If they are
smooth and soft they will look at
tractive. Rouge Is also very bad for
the lips. Some women have a stupid
way Of "biting the color into their
lips" Not only does this unwise prac-
tic. make the skin very sensitive, but
It also thickens and swells the lips till
they lose all charm.
