ANOTHER NEW METHOD OF RAILS.
ING POTATOES HAS BEEN
RECENTLY DISCOVERED.
"Farmer" Darst Claims BY His Plan
Tubers Can be Grown In
Any Cline.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Oct. 10
Scientists and agriculturists are high
ly interested in the discovery by D. D.
Darst of a new method of growing
potatoes, which is as remarkable as
any of the achievements of the wizard
Burbank. A number of scientists and
representatives of agricultural socie-
ties are here at present to investigate
and test Mr.. Darst's discovery. His
experiments have beer conducted in
box eight feet square. In the bottom
of that box Mr.. Darst placed a layer
of certain preparation of which he
has the secret, to the depth Of three
inches. On top of that layer number
of potatoes are planted. Then comes
another layer of the secret prepara
ton, then another layer of potatoes
and so on until the box is full. Mr..
Dorst asserts that the box may be
built to almost any height, with layer
after layer of potatoes and the prep
aration, without affecting the pro-
ducing power Of his composition. He
also asserts that by his method he can
raise potatoes for the market in any
climate at any time of the year.

SEEKS TO SAVE BABIES.
Buys Goats to Furnish Milk That Will
Be Free From Tuberculosis.

Be Free From Tuberculosis.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The de-
partment agriculture has imported
from the island Of Malta nerd of
sixty-eight milking goats, which have
arrived at New York and are now in
quarantine awaiting inspection.
The animals will be taken to the
Connecticut experiment station, where
they will be fed, MIXED and propa-
gated under scientific conditions. The
young will be distributed throughout
the experiment stations of the differ
ent states.
In statement issued today Secre-
tary Wilson said:
1.-The milking goat has been neglect
in the United States. Goats are al
most entirely free from tuberculosis.
Their milk is peculiarly adapted to
children, resembling human milk more
than that from any other animal 1t is
also valuable for invalids. People who
cannot keep a COW may keep goat"
The herd was selected by G. F.
Thompson, a special agent. During
the voyage across the Atlantic forty
five of the goats yielded milk, which
was consumed by the crew OF the
steamer. The goats average about
three quarts of milk each daily.

LOCAL CONCERN GROWING
WHITEHOUSE-C CO., TO
SECURE MORE ROOM-COM.
PEELED TO BUILD.
New Structure Will be Used for Man.
ufacturing Glass Show Cases
Company Loaded With Work.

There is not a Walla Wa1lan who
will not be pleased to learn that the
city's manufacturing interests at the
present time are experiencing a great
run of prosperity. 1t is pay rolls that
help to make a town or city more
than anything else. Nothing truer.
One concern in particular that has
recently had to provide for additional
facilities so as to keep up with and
Crawford company, whose plant is To-
Gated on North Third street. Such
ing the past year Or so that it's manu-
featuring departments and lumber in
terests are now among the largest
and most important of their kind To-
Gated on the Pacific coast
One branch of the company's bust
ness, that of manufacturing fancy
glass show cases and modern store
fixtures in general, is making notable
progress, SO much So that the COM
pany is at present erecting a substan-
tial brick building, 26x36 at the rear of
their main mill building to better en-
able them to take care of this bust
ness.
An Evening Statesman reporter was
a visitor at the plant yesterday and
ne was agreeably surprised at all he
saw.
In the finishing rooms were to be
seen a large number of show cases,
wall shelving, ETC., waiting to be var
nished. The show cases were built of
quarterel white oak which are to be
glazed up with plate glass with mir
ror backs. When ready to send out
these cases will be beauties. The re-
porter also made the discovery that
nearly all the handsome show cases
to be seen in the local stores were
manufactured by the Whitehouse-
Crawford company, and that these

particular cases were being built for
who are about to remodel and refit the
interior of their store at Is West
Main street. Other interesting arti-
cles to be seen in the finishing room
were stylish weathered oak mission
tables that are manufactured by the
company very successfully.
Other departments at the mill visit
ed by the reported were the Glazers
Room Sash and Door Department and
Stair Building Department. In the
last named place expert stair build
ers were engaged in doing some very
fine work on oak newell posts, balus-
trades, panels, etc., for the new Culp
residence now in course of erection.
The new Culp residence, interiorly, is
to be finished throughout with oak. 1t
will be one of the handsomest homes
in the city.
The1nill proper was also visited and
presented a busy scene. Installed
here is the finest planning mill ma
chinery that money can buy. Frames,
sashes and doors are manufactured
with speed and dispatch. In this de-
partment hand work on the materials
is dispensed with. Modern machines
do all the work and do it we'll. For in
stance, into the Big Invincible Sander
are fed whole doors and sashes and
wnen it gets through with them they
are smooth, perfectly sanded..
Directly in the rear of the mill is
large modern dry kiln with a capa-
city of $4,000 to 10000 feet Of lumber
In addition to complete facilities for
doing mill work and manufacturing
building materials the Company con-
duct retail lumber yards that are Sec
ond to none on the Pacific coast. In
regard to driveways, ETC., the yards
are models of convenience. A big
feature is the number of sheds main
tanned for the protection Of stock from
the elements and keeping the same
dry.
The reporter left the Whitehouse
Crawford Company firm in the con-
viction that it is a live, successful
manufacturing plant and one that the
city has every reason to be proud of.
The active executives Of the company
G. w. Whitehouse, general manager
and j. M. Crawford, secretary-treas-
urer, are men who know how to do
things and much credit Is due them
for the growth and rapid progress the
company has made within the past
few years.

The bran is packed away for farm

They are passed through troughs of

that nine tenths of their substance

Revolution Achieved"
Mr.. Apostoloff, in securing this nine
tenths of the "middlings" to the baker,
and through the baker to the consumer
states that he mas achieved that which
millers and bakers have been endeav-
oring in vain to bring about for CEN
turtles.
And not only that, but at one stroke
while compelling the wheat grain to
yield up it's nutrient qualities to the
last atom, he would appear to have
abolished the middleman miller, and to
have rendered flour blending work of
supererogation. for it is declared that
by the new method of bread-making
by far the best bread will be procura-
BILE from homegrown grain.

Bakers and Confectioners. Mr.. Apos-
toloff was challenged to demonstra-
ton of his machinery. He accepted the
challenge, and it is reported that ne
has already demonstrated that the
new process is capable of doing all
that he has claimed for it.
Already a new plant is being set up
in Birmingham for daily production
of six tons Of bread.

BY NEW" METHOD,
British MilIer's System Attracts At.
tention In United Kingdom.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Apostoloff
system of bread-making continues to
attract attention throughout the Unit
ted Kingdom, the claim being that in
the light of more recent discoveries the
price Of the quartern loaf will be re-
duced from sixpence to threepence.
Mr.. Apostoloff claims that owing to a
remarkable process of milling 1t will
soon be possible for bakers to con-
vert wheat into bread within the space
of three hours, and that the bread can
be sold at handsome profit at a re-
duction to one-half Of its present
price. This startling development will
be brought about by next Christmas,
he says.
Loaf Output Increased.
Mr.. Apostoloff declares that not only
will the miller's fee be saved, but that
the output of loaves will be increased
from IL to 20 per cent.
One of the inventors mills is in
Upper Thames street, and although
of small size, the utility of the mill is
