JUST what the government
tried to avert at Bonesteel has
happened and the authorities of
South Dakota are criticised for
not preventing the many depre-
dations committed on those who
have gone to that town to await
the opening of the Rosebud
reservation. The United States
government has chosen the best
means Of opening up lands on the
reservations and it is certainly
up to the officials of South
Dakota to see that law and order
are preserved.

The people of Yerington who did
not go to Carson for the Fourth
spent very pleasant day at the
picnic grounds at Hernleben's
Grove. The business houses of the
town and some OF the residences
were partially decorated and flags
waved at full mast. The young
element shot off frecrackers galore
and made as much noise as possible,
while the elder element (some of it)
unbibed patriotism by the quart.
The native red man was much in
evidence and three-tourths of them
were under the influence OF liquor.
At the grove the ceremonies passed
off quietly and games of all kinds
were INDUCED in until late in the
afternoon. In the evening the
dance in the Owl Hall was we'll at
tended. The music was excellent,
good supper was served at the
Commercial and everybody seemed
to be having a glorious time. The
dance broke up about daylight on
the 5th, and the Fourth was over
another birthday of our nation had
been knocked out in good shape.

THE CREAMERY INDUSTRY
How 1t May be Greatly Enhanced IN Mason
Valley and Made Leader.

pete with the man who is making
science help him, is carrying a load
under which he Is bound to stsgger,
and eventually fall.
1t seems that there would be
great many advantages in the dairy
men in this valley using hand sepa-
rators at their own premises. One
advantage would be that even in
warm weather the trip to the cream
cry would only have to be made
every other day, and in the Winter
probably not more than twice
week. Another advantage would
be that your milk could be put
through the separator at the temper
AZURE that would give the best re-
suits. Furthermore, the skim-milk
would be always clean, sweet and
of the right temperature to feed to
the calves. The calves are quite an
adjunct to the dairy bushes, the
heifers being kept and raised for
dairy purposes and the males turned
into beef cattle in two to three years.
And it is only reasonable to sup
pose that the calves will make bet
ter growth and be less subject to
disease when fed on milk as near
like that which is draw directly
from the cow instead of the cold,
sour milk brought back from the
creamery.
The dairyman who is in business
with few COWS or many, desires to
make his business pay. Some of
them are probably doing so under
the old system. but with a small out
lay of money for a separator they
would be doing much better, and
their labors would be made much
lighter. With separator the milk
is best sepa rated while retaining its
natural warmth, as quickly as pos
sible after coming from the cow, 80
that short time after the milking
is done the separation is finished,
and the skim milk goes directly to
the calves. A few minutes will
clean your machine and in half an
hour or so after milking your work
is done. There is no carrying, re-
peated handling, storing away, and
the constant purchase or repairing
of cumbersome cans and pans.
There is no necessity of a milk
house nor an ice-house, nor a dozen
or more other appurtenances neces-
sarily a part of gravity setting,
and the women of the household
are saved lot of drudgery about
the home without increasing the
work of the men.
There is another incidental benefit
which is generally derived from the
introduction of the home separator,
and that is the breeding up of a bet
ter grade of dairy stock. Once in
PRODUCED the separator is soon fol
lowed by a tester, to show the actu-
al butter-fat value of the milk OF
each cow. This naturally leads to
the wedding out of the poorer cows,
the purchase of better ones and the
breeding more particularly for dairy
stock.
1t is time that the people of this
valley awakened to the realization
of the fact that the opportunity is
great to make money in the cream
cry business here if up-to-date meth
DDS are adopted.

Laroe Meteor Passes Over.

Thursday evening, about 9 O'clock,
very large and bright meteor
passed over this valley from west,
and apparently buried itself in the
range of hills to the east. The me-
teor was exceptionally bright and
had train which seemed to be 100
feet long. 1t was in sight for over a
minute, was very low, and left a
lurid streak in the sky for some mo-
ments after it passed. 1t seemed to
be so close that one could almost inn
agine he heard is sizz as it passed

Mason Valley is one of the ideal
sections of country for dairy farm
ing, and it is d strange thing that
the industry is not carried on to
greater extent here. Almost in the
center OF the valley stands model
creamery which at the present time
is handling in the neighborhood of
six thousand pounds of milk per
day, while it should be handling at
least four times that amount. The
butter manufactured here is excel
ed by none on the coast and it al
WAYS commands the top market
price in the San Francisco and Sac
ramento markets.
The creamery as it is now run is
pa wing concern, but we believe it
could be made to be a greater reve-
nue. producer. At the present time
the creamery company is disbursing
from $500 to $4,000 per month to the
dairymen who furnish milk to it.
This sum ought to be increased to
$1,000 or $1,000, or possibly $4,000.
This manner of doing business
ought to be very acceptable to the
| farmer. There is no other way in
which he can make an income from
his ranch and have it paid to him in
monty installments.
1t is true that the duties of the
dairyman as now carried on are
some what arduous. A number of
mixers live quite distance from
the creamery and the daily trip
there is not pleasant one in Winter
or Summer. Besides, in the hot
weather there Is a loss to the dairy
man of his SKINNED milk, as it
nearly always sours before ne can
return from the creamery, and this
makes it worthless for calf and hog
| feed.
But there are methods in these
days of new inventions and i'm
proved machinery whereby great
many of the Objectionable features
of dairying can be done away with,
and the business made one of the
most pleasant and profitable of any
in an agricultural section.
| Throughout the dairy sections of
the East and California dairymen
are installing small cream separa-
tors, to be run by light power or by
hand, and they find that these ma
ch1nes greatly reduce tne1r expenses
and allow of the milk being used
from many more COWS with less
work. There, too, the creamery
companies gather the cream from
the dairies within a certain radius,
every so often, with teams of their
own. In fact. the dairman in the
sections spoken of, are not consid-
cred to know much about their bust
ness unless they operate separator
in connection with their diaries.
1t is thoroughly demonstrated
and well known fact that no cream
nor butter is 80 free from deleterious
substances as that which has been
treated by separator. No hand
manipulation can equal the machine
in separating the butter fat from
the milk. This being the case, the
man who is plodding along under
the old methods and trying to COM

SPIRITS OF THE DROWNED.
How the Chinese Appease the Names
of the Dcparted-Custom of
TaOist Religion.

Shanghai residents seeking cool
breezes on the river recently could not
fail to notice the number of Chinese
boats flying gayly colored lanterns and
scattering burning paper on the water
Not only paper, but wonderfully con-
structed oiled paper lamps of various
colors, which were dropped from the
boats to float on the water. sometimes
trails of II or 10 red, blue and green
lamps bobbing up and down on the
muddy waters of the Wrangpoo, says
the Shanghai Mercury.
Inquiry of even the meanest natives
elected the reply that joss pidgin was
being done to keep the drowned men
quiet. This is in reality a very ancient
custom developed under the Taoist re-
ligion, which teaches that the spirits
of the drowned fit miserably over and
under the water until such time as
cash is paid to the gods to release them
from their purgatory. Failing this re-
lease, the drowned spirit lays in watt
to catch boatmen sitting by the waters
edge at dark and pull them into tho
water to take their places, when they
themselves escape.

ton, everywhere for the past Is days

WING SHOTS AT SEA.
Novel Sport of Shooting Flying Fish
Need for Retriever That
Can Swim.

One morning the yacht Linda steamed
out of the Bay of Avalon with two or
three friends and myself sitting on the
upper deck, about eight feet from the
water, each armed with a shotgun, says
a writer in Outing. The Linda was
headed up the coast and was presently
running at fair speed, and in short
time into the flying fishes, which rose at
or near the bow and went skimming
away in graceful lines. The first flyer
went to the left, and was cleverly
dropped by one of my companions, who
killed another with his left barrel. The
third fish fell to me 1t rose 20 feet ahead
with vigorous trembling of the body,
produced by the screw-like motion, and
dashed away three feet above the sur
face. AS it swerved to the right fired
dropping it; as it fell the splash startled
another fish from the water, which came
straight toward the boat, rising slightly
on the stiff. wind. l did not fire, as the
fish was too near, and it passed over the
boat into the preserves of my compan-
ion, who dropped it when 50 feet away.
There was something essentially novel
In this sport. The fish appeared as
though by magic, shooting out of the
water with little or no splash, often ap-
parently sailing along a foot above the
