DEGAN MINE

Bar Of Bullion From First
Run Of Hunting

Charles Nofsinger and Leon Pascal
came in from a six-months' mining trip
TO DEMO, Oregon. They arrived yester-
day afternoon. driving a pair of mules
that were nearly played out. The boys
look strong, healthy and happy, how
ever. They have been working the leased
Degan mine in that district When they
first went there they went to work
cleaning up the old levels and getting
the mine In shape to take out ore. This
work was completed about ten days ago
and five-foot Huntington mill was
started. The mill has a capacity equal to
about fifteen stamps. and they made
their first clean up last Tuesday from a
5o-ton run. The result was a bar of gold
bullion worth about 81. 800 This was done
with the help of but two men besides
mined at a depth of 800 feet. although
the shaft is down 400 feet. The ledge is
four feet In width and the ore is free

water for all purposes Nofsinger and
Pascal will return as soon as they get

What an excitement would be caused
by couple of prospectors coming into

FREAKS IN FOOD
CONSUMPTION.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

Consumers the world over, and not
alone in the United States, as has Of
ten been asserted by magazine writ
ers, are very fastidious in their selec-
ton of articles of diet. Peculiar as II
NAV seem, this selection is not made
with the idea of procuring something
which will please the palate or which
is nutritious, but more with regard
to the effect upon the eye of the OBJ
ject sought. Sometimes, too, there is
a hide-bound conception of how GER
tain food should be and noInlng can
break the public of this fancy. The
Department of Agriculture, a year or
SO ago, found that the English peo-
pie would not purchase a consignment
of American sweet potatoes, the sole
complaint being, that while the tubers
were of good color and satisfactory in
every other respect, they were sweet
in taste. The English conception of
how a potato ought to taste was GER
tainly a compliment to Irishm IN.
Butter, an article of food supposed
to be purchased for food reasons alone,
depends largely upon its flavor and
perhaps, still more upon its color as to
its quality when it comes to purchase.
With the fine fruit produced by hor-
ficulturists through modern means
we find that attention has been paid
more to the color and shape of the
product even than to its quality. The
most productive of blackberries, whileI

An Adopted English knight.

An Englishman who visited New
York City short time ago had oc-
casion to ask an Irishman the direc-
ton of certain business house. This
son of Erin happened to be going that
way, and offered to guide his inquired
to the place. AS they walked along,
Pat, to be friendly, asked:
"And who might We be?'
The Britisher drew himself up with
dignity and replied:

meth Edgerton of London, Knight of
the Garter, Knight of the Bath,
Knight of st. John. Knight of the
Golden Fleece. Knight of the Royal
Legion and of the Iron Cross. And

Pat, for a single instant was bewild-
cred with this long list. but quick as
a wink, he threw forward his chest,
and responded pompously:

PIoughing as a Great Sport.

The means chosen to create the new
orange may be described by either of
the words, hybridiza ton or pollena-
ton. That form of citrus which
grows farthest north is a Japanese
shrub, citrus trifoliata. 1t may be
seen in the United States as far north
as Massachusetts. Its use is only or
namental. Its fruit under favoring
conditions attains the size of a wild
persimmon and is globular, tawney
and bitter. In Japan, its home, the
fruit is converted into a conserve.
Three trees of the citrus trifolliata
grow in the grounds of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Each of them
is about eighteen feet tall.
In the Spring when these trees are
in flower botanist watches till the
gum exudes from the stigma. This
sign tells him that the oyary of the
flower is ripening for the reception of
the pollen and the conception of the
fruit Straightway he clips the sta
mens-those delicate filaments, fine as
hairs, which extend themselves from
the heart Of the flower He clips them
because at their end hang tiny pods
the anthers-in which the pollen, or
the germinal dust, is held. Going to

Suburban Cooperation.

In Kensington, Maryland, one of
Washlngton's suburbs, there is a
group of pretty little cot
tages inhabited mostly by gov
ernment office-holders. There is no mu-
nlc1pal gaslighting or water supply sys-
TEN, and to offset the benefit of the
health and pleasures derived from liv-
ing near to nature, there is some dis
comfort to those who are used to these
city luxuries. One householder, of an
inventive turn of mind, however, has
seemed to solve tie problem for him
self and neighbors. The party who
lived next door to him owned a gaso-
line engine, but he had no deep well
from which to obtain supply of pure
Water-the government employe had.
A deal was fixed up between them by
which the inventive genius was to- set
up and install the engine and connect
it with his pump, so by a system of
piping, water could be had by both
parties without the necrssitv of hand
pumping or windmill.
This system of water supply has
worked well-so well indeed that the
piping has been laid to couple of
neighbors even more distant. and the
we'll, being of ample capacity, now
supplies half a dozen families with
water. 1t is understood that plans are
now being perfected by which the
gasoline engine will be called to do
double duty. In the daytime it will fill
the water tanks, while at night it will
be connected to an electric genera
tor, and thus furnish current for light
ing the immediate neighborhood. The
example set by this resident of Ken
sington could be followed by co-opera-
ton between residents of many rural
settlements. Cooperative telephones
are now a success and cooperative
sewer, water and electric systems
should prove equally valuable and
successful.

A HARDY ORANGE
Crossing the Florida Variety on the
Sturdy Japanese Species,

Botanists in the employ of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy as the ap-
pie tree; an orange tree that will not
perish in the chill of northern winter,
which in December will bear its
wreaths of snow and in May its gar
lands of bloom, and which when sum-
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened and gilded in the south
sun. This may seem to be an un-
natural proposition but it only seems.
No violence upon the laws of Nature
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree from which is obtained the sweet
table orange, as hardy and insensitive
to cold as the orange tree from which
is obtained the bitter unedible orange
By crossing a citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an un-
edible fruit with the citrus tree of the
south it is sought to beget a plant in
which will be combined the good traits
Of each.
Government botanists are confident
that the result of this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and
fruit at latitude midway between the
northern limits of the sweet orange
and the northern limits of the line of
growth of the unediblle orange. If
this should be there might be orange
groves in central Virginia, middle Ken
lucky, southern Indiana, southern Illi-
nois, central Missouri and central
Kansas. Think of orange gardens
around the home in Norfolk, Rich
mond, Lynchburg, Lexington, Louis
vile, Cairo and perhaps in Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Jefferson City and
Kansas City.

Eggs Co.ored With Coffee.

In England, where brown eggs are
the favorite, dealers go so far as to
color the shells of white eggs with
either strong coffee or some dye
stuff. New York likes a white butter
but Chicago and Philadelphia a little
darker, while Washington demands a
deep yellow butter, and New Orleans
wants color still darker than Wash
ington. How far this question of COL
or goes may be taken from a little in
stance in which a carload of butter
intended for Washington was sent on
to New York, and the butter originally
consigned to New York was sent to
Washington. The receivers in both
places demonstrated strongly, the one
claiming the butter to be too dark and

the skin and the color is i1herent-not
derived from the fat. On the contrary
in some European countries there is
preference for the darker-skinned
chickens. A curious preference. en-
tlrely unassociated with tastes, is the
color of eggs. While in Boston brown
eggs sell for a cent or two per dozen
more than white eggs, the contrary is
true IN New York, and if one or two
dirty eggs are visible the price is still
lower. 1t is said that Chicago is indis-
eliminating in regard to the color of
eggs, but that San Francisco prefers
white ones.

the other too light, and that no custo
mer could be found for either. The
matter was adjusted only through the
reshipment of the cOnSignments to the
proper places.
Consumers, of course, are appealed
toin the selection of some foods
through the quantity of advertising
given to a particular product. Instances
of this are found among the enormous
sale of breakfast and health foods
that are so widely advertised in news
paper and magazine. Years ago oat
meal was sold only by druggists and
kept by them merely for the sick; in
deed there was long a prejudice in
England against oatmeal as food for
human beings, although in Scotland it
was the staple food. Even in our
bread the consumer usually insists up
on the pure Snow-white bread that is
robbed of the most nutritious element
constituting the wheat grain.
Bleached-Out Oysters.
Your elders now are complaining
that they cannot get oysters with the
same flavor as they used to years

atable through a drenching with vine

the oyster of to-day is the same as

the straightness, width, depth and
evenness of the furrow, the evenness
of the land and the manner in which
the weeds were turned under, were all
considered.

ArtificiaIly CoIored Meats

Meat dealers have found that corn
beef, cured ham and some salt meats
find much more ready sale where, in
the process of curing, some saltpeter
has been added to impart a bright red
color. Sausages and other forms of
minced meat are frequently colored by
analine dyes, as are also the wrappers
of some sausage and ham. These OBJ
tain more ready sale in competition
with uncolored goods. Porterhouse
steak, the most expensive cut of beef
is in high favor, whereas beef coming
from the neck, equally as nutritious
and as palatable, it is stated, if suit
ably prepared, sells at much lower
price.

twenty-four hours in fresh water be-
fore opening it, thus causing the
white appearance.
And so the qualification of taste
in these modern days is of minor con-
sideration; the city-bred people want
something that appeals to the eye, and
the dealer appreciates that in order
to catch the fancy of a customer it is
more important to place a product in
snowy and convenient package,
than it is to furnish a wholesome or
well-flayored food.
