the settlers organized the OkanOgan
Irrigation association, dug up every
fact that had a bearing on the sub
iect interested the Washington dele
cation in congress, and began a cam
paign to secure reconsideration OF
the project The association was sue
cessful, and board consisting of AS
sistant Chief Engineer Davis and Con-
sulting Engineers Henney and Wiley
were sent to make personal exam
ination of the project.
The board reported that in view of
the high cost it had made careful In
quiry into the value of these lands I'M
der irrigation "The limited area of
the tract and it's location in the heart
of an extensive range country, which
would be dependent upon it for it's win
ter feed, would insure profitable and
permanent market for forage, which
we believe would return a profit on a
valuation of 500 per acre." they said
These gentlemen further stated that in
view of the foregoing facts they be-
lieved the lands would be ample Sc
curity to the government for an ex-
penditure of sixty dollars per acre for
their reclamation, and recommended
that such further investigation be
made as would permit of closer es-
innate of the cost, and If this did not
materially exceed the previous esti-
mate, and satisfactory arrangements
could be made for water rights and
rights of way, that the project be con-
structed. Ever since then the engi-
neers have continuously proceeded

uuently to assist in the aeration; but
remember that proper cream cooler
avoids all this trouble and does the
work properly.
AS you hope to make your living
out of your dairy, never be guilty of
turning the warm cream as it comes
from the separator into the previously
separated can of cream, for If you do
you will spoil the whole batch. While
it is true that cream has to develop a
certain degree of acidity before churn-
ing, the buttermaker prefers to super
wise this part of the matter himself,
and wants you to deliver it to him as
nearly sweet as possible. Cream
should never be mixed unless of the
same temperature, and you will be
committing a crime against your
creamery and against the public who
have to eat the butter made from your
product if you practice such things.
Dairymen, the greatest crime that
can be laid at your doors in business
way is uncleanliness in your barns,
your milking, your separator room and
utensils. Air costs nothing, water
costs you nothing, and washing pow
der is very cheap commodity, there
fore, for goodness sake and for the
sake of the goodness of your product
keep up to the mark in this respect
Such things as leaving separator
bowls to be washed once a day instead
of twice, and slurring over the task
of properly and honestly cleansing
your shipping cans and other dairy
utensils, is an outrage on the public.
Lack of energy and ambition are the
causes of it all. People of this kind
will never rise above their surround
ings Some day there will be rigid
course of inspection that will 1nf11ct
penalty for such misdemeanor. l ask
you to take this in the spirit that it
is intended, namely, for the general
improvement not only of the dairy In
dustry at large, but of yourselves, as
you will never prosper at the busl-
ness excepting along modern up-to-
date methods. In conclusion, | advo-
cate the attendance by all dairy farm
crs at every institute meeting or dairy
convention you can attend. This is
source of much profit to many, and all
should participate in them. They are
free and are given generously Tor
your benefit, therefore, why not avail
yourselves Of the opportunity? How
can we improve our conditions unless
we learn how-and there is no cheaper
way to gain the knowledge than to
take the advice and guidance of those
who have made a study of these mat
tiers and can demonstrate them to you.
Read the dairy and agricultural pa
pers. 1t is a business proposition for
you. There is a mine of valuable in
formation in them if sought after in
diligently. We are all of us seekers
after knowledge or ought to be. Keep
well abreast of the times.
