1t has come TO our ears that two grace
less scamps who reside in Custer invit-
ed two young ladies to join them in a
hunt for the purpose of catching mess
of snipes One of the boys procured a
quincy sack and they repaired to the
Laughing Water creek where they fixed
it and left the two girls in charge while
they went up above to drive down the
snipes. 1t is needless to say the boys
went home and left the girls to hold the
sack. How long they might have re-
mained there waiting no one can tell,
but the game warden happened to see
them and thinking they were trying to
catch fish in an illegitimate way broke
the game. The girls think those fellows
are just as mean as they can be.

The crops in this section are growing
at an unprecedent rate. Owing to the
wet backward spring we need some
good warm days and good crops are as
sured. Our farmers need not be dis
couraged for there has never been
plenty of moisture that we did not get
a good crop. OF course the lst of Sep
tember generally brings a frost of more
or less severe, but with warm weather
everything will be matured by that
time.

The travel to Sylvan lake from Custer
is heavy these days and sometimes our
two livery stables are taxed to the ut
most. However they are both well
equipped with good rigs and tallyho
coach that will carry sixteen people and
passengers are not kept in waiting very
long. Beauty and grandeur are always
attractive to the refined portions of

our own responsibility, it is the prettiest
spot in the United States.

Many of our ranchmen are putting in
dams on the small creeks that flow
through their grounds making ponds
and small lakes where they propose to
propagate fish. 1t is good plan, don't
cost much and will always be source
of pleasure and profit to the owner. 1t
must not be forgotten however that the
raising Of fish under these conditions is
something like the raising Of cattle, they
must be fed winter and summer to do

 A milk strainer that gets clogged is easily cleaned by rubbing coarse salt through the wires.

 The rhubarb of slender stock variety Is sweeter than the mammoth growth. It Is better for all purposes.
 If when using lemon for flavoring, you need only half one, put the other half on a plate and cover with a glass tumbler. This excludes the air and prevents it from drying up or getting moldy.
 Unless the most expensive salmon Is used, the chances are it Is not pure olive oil on the flesh, but an inferior grade. Always open the can, pour off the grease and turn cold water into the can. Rinse a number of times. If oil must be added supply butter. It is far more desirable.
