CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY
Odd Fellows and Rcbekahs
Enjoy Themselves at
Assembly Hall.

The local orders Of |. o. o. F. and
Daughters Of Rebekah and families
celebrated the eighty sixth anniversary
of Oddfellowshp in America We'd
nesday evening al Assembly hall.
They were one day late. but mere than
made up for lost time in the enjoyment
Of the evening. Games and dancing
were the chief amusements of the
evening. The music for the occasion
was furnished by the Wadsworth
orchestra. Supper was furnished at
II O'Clock and everybody enjoyed the
feast of ~substantials and delicacies
that had been prepared by the Re-
bekah's.
The affair a given only to the
members of the Orders and their
families, consequently, the young ladies'
were not allowed to bring their escorts,
and were greatly in the majority.
there being very few men, all married,
and mostly ION the down-hill Of life
The girls were afraid Of passing a dull
evening, but at last a young single
man hove in sight. A leap year dance
was promptly declared by the young
ladies' and the young gentleman must
have felt like a solitary mar at a sum
mer resort. He arose to the occasion,
however. and did his best. Most men
would have faltered. and. if possible,
made their escape. SO his courage is
worthy Of praise. 1t is rumored that
he was kept on the floor continually.
without rest. from the time of his
arrival until the medley. Even now
the girls are not satisfied but accuse
him of breaking engagements to dance.
1t was a case of sixteen-to-one SO 1t is
probable he might have become con-
fused in making one answer to sixteen
questions.
The medley was played at two
O'Clock and the members departed for
their homes. having thoroughly en-
joyed the occasion.

CLUBHOUSE.

The steady growth Of the camp is
having a marked effect on the value
Of property throughout the entire dis
trict. Prospects with = reasonable
showing Of naturalization have moved
upward correspondingly with the con-
tiguous producers.
There is room for five good gold
mining companies well differed and
financed to make as many divided
payers for their stockholders.
The property is here. the gold is
here, and the men who have the good
fortune to come ought to have the
ability to manage the affairs Of a cor
poration and secure n of the
bonanzas Of Olinghouse.
Within ninety days the largest con
solidation of property yet effected will
have become a matter Of history and
the Olinghouse camp will speed on its
way to win fame and a place among
the rival bonanza gold camps Of the
world.
The time has come for him who
would take advantage Of the rare
opportunity offered to make an in
dependent fortune for himself and
friends, to acquire favorable ground

None can say there are vast caverns

Again and again. we have asked, If
there be any who can truthfully say,
the history Of the Comstock production
may not be repeated. From the way

location, and from prices being paid,
it certainly does seem that a few far

Selecting the Dairy Bull.

The profitable dairy bull is one that
will produce female calves with high
milking powers and that will be able
to show a great amount Of Vigor 1t
is not enough that he be able to pro-
duce calves with high milking powers.
The vigor is an essential point, as
under heavy methods of feeding, such
as are now practiced in modern
dairies, many of our best developed
COWS break down. The bull therefore
must have in himself every indica-
tion of great bodily vigor. The more
he has of this, the more likely will
he be to impress the same on his off
spring, and place in them the power
Of continuing his good qualities. 1t
is not at all easy at this time to find
the kind of bull that is likely to
have the good points we are looking
for. There are a great many poor
bulls in service, and their male Off
spring are growing up into the bulls
that are to be used in the future. We
have to-day few herds that we can go
to for the right kind of a supply.
The carelessness of the public in
this regard is shown in the low prices
prevailing for bulls. The bull should
bring a far higher price than a COW
md yet we find the bulls selling at
lower prices. We can but infer that
the breeders think that anything is
good enough for the male so long as
we have first class females. This has
been the great obstacle in the way Of
the improvement Of the milking quail
ties of our dairy breeds. A man can
afford to pay fancy price for bull
provided he can get the kind of bull
he really needs.

Mold on Parchment Papsr,

Many of our readers use parchment
paper for lining the boxes in which
they pack their butter, and now and
then they have trouble with mold
that appears on it and which not in
frequently gets into the butter. The
parchment paper is for the purpose
OF preventing this very thing. The
mold generally gets into the paper
when the latter is allowed to lie for
some time in ice boxes, refrigerators
or storage rooms in which the mold
has already developed. The mold
cannot grow spontaneously but comes
from minute seeds called spores. Un-
less these spores were On the paper
there could be no growth OF mold.
When the parchment paper was lying
where mold was growing the spores
ripened and fell on this paper. # the
paper is kept in dry clean places
where no mod ever appears it will
not in turn develop mold when it is
placed in contact with the moisture
that comes from the butter. Spores
cannot grow without moisture When
such paper has been subject to con-
ditions that would make the growing
of mold possible the best way to pre-
vent the development of the mold is
to soak the parchment paper IN a
strong brine in which has been mixed
one pound of formaldehyde to three
gallons of brine. This soaking will
not injure the parchment paper, but
it will kill the spores of the mold.
When the same brine is to be used
several times in succession it should
be boiled between times to make
doubly sure that the spores do not
escape.

Exhibitinq Butter.


The maker of butter, whether on
the farm or in the creamery, fire.
quently asks the question if it pays
to make an exhibit of butter at any
of the various shows where oppor-
tunity is given for that kind Of dis
play. 1t certainly does pay to ex-
hibit butter, both for the effect it has
on the general public and for the
influence on the one making the eX
hibit. The cost of making an exhibit
is slight, and the attention of the but
termaker becomes centered on the
article. 1t is proverbial that every
farmers wife believes she is one of
the best butter makers in the country.
The grocer that buys the butter Gares
not tell her that she does not know
how to make butter, if she cannot, but
the butter judge at the fair or show
will have to give her that information.
The movement among farmers wives
to learn more about buttermaking is
a good one, and every one Of them
should be encouraged to do her best
and send her product to the butter
show. Thersame is true of the cream
cry buttermaker. The managers of
the creamery can we'll afford to pay
$40 or whatever it costs to exhibit
butter. just for the sake of getting
more information on how their own
butter looks when judged from the
standpoint of the butter judge

Lamb a La Mode.

Lamb Ia mode is fully as accept
able an entree as beef prepared in
the same way and serves to give that
variety to the bill of fare for which
the average housekeeper is always
seeking. To prepare it let the lamb
stew very gently in I small quantity
OF water, in which has been placed a
couple Of potatoes, cut up very fine.
When these have been dissolved into
a starcby mess add sufficient water
nearly to cover the meat, putting in
two sliced carrots, more chopped po-
tatoes and a cupful of green peas.
After the meat and vegetables are
soft slice half a lemon, from which
the seeds have been removed, and use
it for garnishing, taking care to place
the peas, carrots, ETC., in alternate
rows.

Hotel Too Close to Church.

John Jacob Astor's magnificent new
hotel the st. Regis, in New York, has
been refused a liquor license because
its front door is within 200 feet of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church. The law says that no liquor
licenses shall be granted for build
ing within this distance of a church
or a school house. The st. Regis has
just been completed at a cost of ST.
100000, and it hardly will be pI.ctic
able for operation without a license.
Even if the objection of the 200-foot
limit were removed it is said that
the lessee of the new hotel cannot
obtain the necessary twO-thirds of
owners of the adjoining property to
consent. An interesting legal battle
will no doubt be the outcome.
