in Court Mission retiring Chief Ranger
Staff was also presented a testimonial
in recognition of what he did for the
court while its presiding officer

were installed last week by the court
deputy, the court having declined the
polite offer of the board to install the
officers.
On the 18th inst. the officers of Court
and Companion Court Wildwood were
installed in Boulder Creek and the fol-
lowing night those of the court in Los
Gatos were installed.
The court in Hollister, in the juris-
dictien of the High Court of Southern
California, extended an invitation to
High Chief Ranger Stewart of the High
Court of Northern California to be pres
ent on the occasion of the installation
of officers, but he was forced to decline
on account of previous engagements to
install the officers of other courts.
On the occasion of the visit of High
Chief Ranger Stewart and High Coun-
selor c. w. Pickard to Arbuckle re-
Gently there were presented seventeen
applications for membership, which
were secured by the high chief ranger
prior to the meeting. These and one
more were initiated, after which there
was the public installation of the new

tion the court contributed $40 to the

Stewart gave very pleasing after
dinner speech. in the course of which
he presented to the retiring chief ran
ger of the court. Paul Helmore, a beau
tiful emblematic watch charm set in
diamonds as a token of esteem from
the members of Court Oakland. Dur
ing the course of the banquet a dis
tressing case of destitution was

around, sum of money sufficient to
care for the wants of the distressed
family for some time to come was lib
orally donated, as well as the many
good things on the table. untouched by
the celebrants. Speeches by the other
High Court officials and the members

DRAW OUT MANURE DAILY.
Every Farmer Should Devote His
Attention to This Feature of
Agricultural Work.

Fresh manure should be applied as
made to land plowed in the fall or
early winter, for planting early spring
crops. If applied to plowed- surface,
the rains and melting SHOWS, aided by
the freezing and thawing, carry the
soluble portions into the soil. When
applied to plowed land there is less
waste by teaching than on unplowed
surface, says Farm and Home.
The economical way Of handling ma
nure in winter, or at all times, is to
haul 1t out as fast as made. Every
farmer should have low down wagon
and load direct from the stables. sheds
and feed lots, haul to the field where
needed and scatter direct from the
wagon. Time and labor are saved and
there is less loss by teaching and evap-
Grafton. Spread the manure as evenly
as possible and better results will be
secured than IL thrown out in large
forkfuls and allowed to remain.

SHALLOW FRAMES ARE BEST
Decision Is Reached in Much Dis.
cussed Subject--Explanation
and Reasons.

Foremost in agricultural discussions OF
to-day Is the subject Of frames and their
proper depth for best results in the pro-
duction Of honey, says the Midland Far
mer. All intelligent bee-keepers are
aware Of the fact that bees ere naturally
averse to travelling over honey in the
brood chamber to store in the sections.
None deny this. 1t is equally true that,
unless the brood-chamber is greatly
contracted at the time the surplus recep-
tacles are on, there will be considerable ie
strip of honey along the top of each
frame-if that be deeper than the Langs-
troth. On the other hand, II the brood
chamber be contracted. by taking away
a number of the outside frames, it will
be left narrower than the super. AS the
brood-nest must extend out under all
the sections, to insure degree of uni
formity in the completion of these. II is
not difficult for even the casual observer
TO see that there Is a serious fault con-
nected with this sort of contraction.
With the foregoing facts before us, we
can readily see that deep frame cannot
give near the amount of section honey
as will shallow one, and the causes are
unavoidable.

CENTRALIZED BREEDING.
Expert on EQuines Tells How the In
dustry May Be Turned to
Greatest Profit.

While horses are being bred In
every agricultural district there Is lit
tie concerted rnethcd or organized
effort In the work. A buyer having
an order for carload of draft horses
OF given breed, type and weight has
to seek out and buy individual ami
mails here and there at great expense.
says DIR. A. s. Alexander. He cannot
go to a particular center and in one
day fill his order with horses Of tho
kind and quality he wants. Each CEN
ter Is producing many different kinds
of horses, but has no specific prodict
for sale. Each individual breeder has
10 seek buyer for his stock and can
supply but a limited number of ami
mails. While these conditions exist
buying Is made an expensive business
and the buyers expenses are neces-
sarily deducted from the price OF the
animals he PURCHASES. Specialization
in production will mean the creation
of breeding tenters each of which Will
be devoted to the raising of horses OF
particular type, blood and quality.
Each farmer in sncE a center will
breed prac c:ically the same product.
will work for the success Of that
product and benef. equally with the
others from the vjsits of the buyer
attracted there by the certainty OF
finding full complement of the horses
he wants. If man wishes to import
a Percheron horse he goes forthwith
to the district of LsFerche in France.
and at once finds what he wants, for
LaPerche is headquarters for the
breed and noted on that account the
world over. For Ciydesdales he goes
to certain well-kncwn counties in
Scotland; for Shires to equally distinct
and advertised centers in England,
and in the same country to similar
centers for Suffolk. hackney, thor
oughbred, Cleveland bay or York
shire coach horses. So, too, he can
easily ascertain the particular place
abroad where he can find Belgian
draft, French coach, German coach or
Orloff horses. A particular county of
the state should iaake one certain
class of horses its speciality. Each
county would then have a special
product to sell; its IL feeders would ac:
together to advance the quality and
fame of this product. and in time build
up a steady trade with buyers willing
and ready to pay appreciative prices,

RIGHT WAY TO COOK RICE
Southern Woman Tells How It Is
Done to Produce the Best
Results.

We overheard q conversation the
other day between q southern matron
and a northern housewife. They were
talking about rice. The woman from
the south lived on rice plantation.
Her husband owned large rice fields and
marketed large quantities of rice every
year, says Medical Talk for the Home.
The northern woman was saying that
rice was not SO very much used in the
north. that she didn't believe her family
used dollars worth in year. I'VE
don't care much for It," she said, "and
only have II on our table occasionally"
But" said the southern woman,
you northern people don't know how to
cook rice. That is the reason so little
of II is used. Why we have 1t on our
table every day. 1t has become almost
as much an article of diet with us as
with the Chinese.
"The mistake so many people make
in cooking rice" she went on to say, lis
that they put II on in lot of water and
cook 1t and cook 1t, stirring it all the
time, until 1t is just pasty. starchy,
unpalatable mess. / don't wonder that
people don't like rice when it is cooked
in this manner. The Chinaman himself
wouldn't eat such dish"
"But how do you cook it?" asked the
northern matron. For my part. have
always thought the proper way to cook
rice was to put 1t on in boiling water,
and cook 1t furiously for half hour or
more, stirring 1t every now and then to
keep 1t from sticking"
There is just the trouble, as | have
said, all in the cooking. Now the way
we southerners cook rice is to wash 1t
lice and clean, drop it into kettle Of
boiling water and then set the kettle on
the back of the stove over low fire,
and let the rice simmer very slowly un-
til 1t is done. Never, never stir 1t.
When it is thoroughly cooked each
kernel will stand apart by itself, plump
and whole. II there is any water left Oh
1t drain 1t off carefully and let it stand
in hot place for little while Don't
mix milk or sugar or salt or butter or
anything else in it while 1t Is cooking
These can be added afterward, as pre-
ferred. When the northern people
learn to cook rice properly they will
relish 1t just as much as we of the south
do. 1t all depends on how 1t is cooked"

TOMMY AND HIS RABBIT.
Like the Grounding for the Minister
the Poor Bunny Was
Necessity.

A very proud boy was one recently
when he asked his teacher in one OF
the East side public schools to spend
the hours after afternoon closing time
at his home and take dinner with him.
He was bright student and a pre-
possessing little chap, and the teacher
who had strong liking for him, ac-
cepted the invitation alike for his
pleasure and her own. She found, how
ever, relates the New York Tribune
when she reached his abode that her
pupil had taken the duties of a
host on his shoulders without inform
ing his parents of the intention, and
while the greeting of the mother was
most cordial it was plainly per-
turbed. Tommy was telling his teacher
about the tricks of his pet rabbit when
his mother called him. He was absent
some time, and when he returned there
were tears in his eyes. The teacher
refrained from questions that would
have started fresh flood, and main
him until the mother announced that
supper was ready. There were tears
in her eyes. too, and mother and son
when they seated themselves at the
table, looked at each other and burst out
crying. The mother begged pardon

pened. not of serious import, but
enough to upset them for the time be.
ing. The teacher wondered how the
family could afford to provide the dist
of which she partook, and noticed tha,
the mother and son ate none OF 1t. As
she rose from the table she said: Now
Tommy, you must show me your pc,
rabbit. Perhaps I'll want to take hin
home with me-" "You will" blurtet
out Tommy, in a gulping sob, ''yot
will take him home with you. You've
just eaten him up"

To let the pigs eat, the gate is swung
