David swiger, of Dola,
and Miss Mary Webb. the
daughter of Joseph Webb, of
Margaret, started to Clarksburg on
Thursday to get married, but were
thwarted at Brown by a wreck near
New Martinsyille that caused trains
to be abandoned. However, they
arrived Friday noon, accompanied
by her brother and proceeded to the
county clerks Office to get the

refused, although her brother said it
would be all right.

Rabbits Winter Killed.

One of the advantages of the
snow and cold weather in March
is the destruction OF rabbits.
There was no feed left which they
could get at except hay stacks,
and wEere the farmers we're vigi-
liant in putting out poison for them
they were practically exterminat-
ed. Many people report that
there are no rabbits to be seen
now except dead ones, where they
were formerly the menace of the
community.
In 1888 and again in 1890 the
severe weather killed them off 80
that rabbit was rare sight, but
they have been multiplying for
sixteen years with little interrup-
ton except the rabbit drives got
ten up to kill them.
When rabbits flourish, coyotes
become numerous too, and with
TIE disappearance of their natural
prey, the coyotes may be expect
ed to disappear to a great extent.
If this occurs it will be easier
to raise poultry than heretofore.
Another advantage OF the ex-
cessive snow and rain in March
and April will be found in the
luxuriant growth of grass and
other vegetation. The ranges
will better than they have been
For many years, and crops when
planted will make very rapid
growth.

For Better Butter.

When the State of Idaho made
a law requiring butter makers to
label their product, it made a long
stride toward cutting out poor
butter, and now Frank g. Ricken
is carrying the good work a step
farther by introducing separator
which receives the milk fresh and
warm from the COW. and turns
ont the butter in from three to
five minutes. This cuts out all
the expense of pans, milk cellar,
and other storing devices for milk
and cream, and precludes the pos
sibility of its absorbing had odors.
The butter is absolutely pure and
free from taint and the fresh skim
milk Is sweet ana good.
The instrument is called a sep.
arator and aerator, is inexpensive
as compared to the ordinary sep
arator, and is very much easier to
having ball bearings
throughout.
Mr.. Ricken and his solicitors
are meeting with marked success,
and the Introduction of this simple
machine marks an advance in
butter making.
