noon.
Chinooks in the Peola flats brought
up the Asotin creek to mountain tor
rent last night and all creeks on that
side of the Snake river are pouring
in flood waters.
Those in touch with the situation
on the Clearwater view conditions
with apprehension. The South Fork
of the Clearwater river is reported
coming up rapidly today, and all along
the line of the railway the snow on the
lower lodges is giving way rapidly
and carrying earth and rocks down
with it.
The worst danger to traffic on the
railroad comes from the fact that a
sudden rise of the river coming from
a chinook cutting off the heavy snow
would break up the ice gorge at Box
canyon and carry the debris onto the
tracks.

Snow Is Melting Rapidly.

There are seven miles of the ice
gorge at Box canyon between Greer
and Kamiah. All but three miles OF
this has been cut in the center by the
river channel, and it will all loosen
up gradually if there is no sudden
rise in the river and be carried away
without damage.
If the chinook produces anything
like a flood, bringing the river up five
or six feet, the ice foe would be piled

Professor A. L. Hacker of the Ne
braska experiment station says of the
milking machine: A good operator with
three machines can milk from twenty
eight to thirty COWS an hour. If he
is Obliged to weigh every cows milk
separately and sample the same, he
cannot work so fast and must be
satisfied with about twenty-four to
twenty-siX cows an hour. The operator
must be Il man above the ordinary in
Intelligence and integrity. He must
follow directions closely, must use his
judgment and be steady and method
fcal in his habits. HaphaZard work
absolutely will not do.
The machine working on the pulsa-
ton plan must be carefully regulated
as to the number of pulsations per
minute We find for example, certain
cows reGuirgg Il more rapid pulsation
than others. AS a rule, the harder
the mixer the slower the pulsation
should be. A man can find this re-
quirement very accurately by timing
himself in hand milking. as so many
teat charges per minute can be emp
tied. 1t is well known that Il COW
that is hard milking has a small open
ing in the teat. This will require

more time to empty the teat charge.
1t is just so with the milking machine
one pulsation should empty or near
ly empty the teat charge.
Occasionally we find COW with
small teats that milks easily, where
rapid pulsations can be used. 1 have
in mind Il little Jersey heifer that
takes the smallest sized teat cup and
teat mouthpiece that can be MIXED in
two minutes and a half perfectly dry
by using a rapid pulsation. l have a
large IIolStain that milks hard and re
quireS the largest sized teat cup and
mouthpicce and requires from twelve
to fourteen minutes. In mixed herd
such variations are quite likely to oc-
cur Again, l have found that it is
very necessary that each quarter be
supplied with the proper sized teat
cup and mouthpiece. 1 have one cow,
for example, that requires three differ
ent sizes in order to milk her salts
factorily. l have found that even the
putting on of the teat cup requires
skill. and the same operator should
milk the same cows each time, If pos
sible, so as to avoid annoyance to the
animal by changes.
