A WORD ABOUT oLEoMAReARlNE

A WORD ABOUT OLECMARGARINE
Federal laws lately passed wisely
place restriction on the sale of oleo-
margarine as a counterfeit of dairy
butter. This is just COMMON decency
and honesty 1t should not he palmed
off on the public as a dairy prcG;!ct
On TIE ether hand, it is only fair to
say in behalf Of the manufacturers and
retailers of oleomargarine that when it
sails under it's own colors and is sold
honestly for what it is-largeIy beef
fat-no serious objection can be urged
against it. as 1t is clean and whole
some food product. For large class
of people who this year find them
selves in straitened financial circum.
stances oleomargarine will doubtless be
extensively used as substitute for the
genuine dairy product. which is thus
early in the season retailing for bet
ter than 80 cents per pound al con.
Eidering the high price Of feed Lay b<
close to 40 cents before spring.

fact quite generally known. yet
clover is a biennial-that is, its length
of life is but two seasons long-which
means that if the second growth is not
allowed to mature seed in the autumn
of the second season the crop will die
out This variety of clover as it
grows along the roadside seems to have
a perennial habit, but this is due to the
fact that it produces seed often enough
to perpetuate itself.

ton on Nov. 10, the average yield Of
corn in the country for the present
year is 26.2 bushels per acre, while
the estimated total production is 2,642,-
6S7, 900 bushels. This Is better show
ing both in yield per acre and total
production than last year, when the
average was 25.9 bushels and the to-
tai yield was 1852, 100000 bushels.

A decided point in favor Of the

twice as far and does more good than
that scattered by the old pitchfork

Any upward movement In grain
prices which makes stock raising and
dairying improbable and tempts the
farmer to sell his cereal products in
the raw state rather than in the finish
ed form of beef, pork. mutton, butter
and cheese can only be viewed as a
misfortune from the standpoint of a
permanent agricultural prosperity,
which from the very necessity of the
case depends upon an intelligent main
tenance of the fertility of the soil. 1t
Is likely that many will disagree with
this view, but careful consideration
of the points involved would seem to
verify it.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-12-11

The chief merit Of the silo lies In the
fact that it ena bles the dairyman to
furnish his cows summer feed In the
winter months, which results in ecr-
responding increase in milk and butter
returns.
Sawdust has no value as fertilizer
outside of the potash it would contain
in the form of ashes and the humus il
would add to the soil in the shape OF
wood mold when decayed. SaWdust
NAV be used to advantage as an alb
sorbent of liquid manures and in this
capacity would serve a very useiui
purpose.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-12-11

Experiments which have been con-
Quoted show that when cheese is sold
from the farm or milk from which
cheese is made Il much larger amount
of fertility is taken from the soil
than in the case of butter or cream.
This is to quite an extent responsible
for the fertility and productivity of
those farms on which buttermaking is
the chief occupation.

Properly cured corn fodder is not
only relished by all kinds Of live stock,
but constitutes most excellent and
nutritious food. With enormous
amounts of it going to waste annually
Il big leak exists in the management of

So long as the average yield of corn
per acre for the whole country re-
mains in the neighborhood of twenty
six CT tWenty-seven bushels, and nu-
merous instances are on record where
enterprising farmers have secured q
yield Of frcm so to 120 bushels per
acre, it will be entirely in place to
continue talking and writing about
the possibilities Of agriculture in the
United States. Had the average yield
per acre been twice what it was (26.2
bushels), or 52.4 bushels-a moderate
yield-the total corn production would
have been 5,285,374,Q0 bushels, while
at so cents Il bushel S1,321 ,343, 500

Professor John Merriam. associate

Der of prehistoric animal species In a

from Sawtelle, Cal. From this once
sticky death trap, which became the
grave of numberless animals hundreds
OF thousands Of years ago, have been
taken the remains Of rare prehistoric
animals, including the enormous
ground sloth, larger than q common
OK; the huge prehistoric mammoth. a
great extinct camel, a strange and un-
known species of deer, besides the
saber toothed tiger and huge antedi-
luvian wolf, which were evidently
lured to the death pool by the strug-
giles of the herbivorous animals al
ready entrapped and which they in
tended to devour. In addition to the
larger animals, there have been discov-
cred many remarkable and extinct spe-
cies of hawks. eagles and ducks which
went TO the pool in search Of food
only TO be caught and held fast and
finally imbedded.

The average housewife would much

hickory, as she may have done years
ago or rs her mother did, but great
many in sections where tie hardwood
supply is gone have to use soft coal in
its stead. With this the SCOT and dirt
are the chief drawbacks. The former
nuisance may be reduced to mini
mum Us breaking the coal into small
pieces before putting it into the stove
and putting on the fire only small
quantities at time. If the fire is fed
in this way it will burn brightly and
consume the SCOT and good share OF
the black smoke, which is simply an
aggregation of sooty particles, as soon
as it is formed. More than this, there
is Il decided saving in fuel In this
method of stoking which should not be
overlooked

852 CLUB
GIVES SHOWER
MISS MARY DUFF, WHO is SOON
ENT IF MANY USEFUL GIFTS.

Miss Maude Merriam, Mrs. Burt J.
Williams and Mrs. Frank D. Case,
were hostesses to the S52 club at the
home of Miss Merriam on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue.
The function was in the form of a
kitchen shower complimentary to
Miss Mary Duff, who is soon to be
married. Miss Duff was the recipi-
ent of many useful gifts.
At five O'Clock the guests repaired
to the dining room where dainty
two-course luncheon was served.
The room was darkenei and arti-
fetal light used. The decorations
were very tasty, the delicate hues of
pink and white prevailing, and with
the artificial light, the effect pro-
duced was a very pretty one
The table represented the scene of
a miniature marriage with the bride,
groom, bishops, ring-bearer and
bridesmaids all there, all composed
of some useful kitchen article and
dressed suitably for such an occasion.
At each plate was a beautiful pink
rose and the place cards were white
hearts tied with pink ribbon.
When the wedding cake was serv-
ed Misses Messerly and Vaughn were
the fortunate ones, the former find
ing the ring in her portion and the
latter the money.
The following were among those
present: The Misses Finch, Messerly,
Wyman, Duff, Merriam, Poe, Vaughn;
Mesjames Reeves, Gillette, Bousquet,
Williams, Case, Loving Gilman, Sui
liyan and Culp.

The work on the new tunnel will
begin in August or September. This
tunnel is to be driven through the
mountain known as Shotwell s
Point, opposite Monitor. The tun-
mel when completed will be 3,420
feet in length. 1t will take six or
seven months to complete it with the

IRRIGATION NEARING COMPILE
TTON

Quincy, June 10.-The machinery
of the great power plant of the Han
ford Irrigation company at Priest Ra-
pids, about SO miles south of here,
is now in motion. This information
was contained in a telegram received
few days ago by the Thompson
Gillis Investment Co., local agents
for Hanford Irrigated lands. Over
100000 has been expended in build
ing this plant, which will develop 20,-
600 horsepower at present, and ulti-
mately it's capacity may be increased
to 10000 horse power.
At present $4,000 acres of land in
the Columbia river valley are to be
irrigated by this plant. In addition,
10000 acres more will be put under
irrigation later. The pumps will lift
2O,000,000 gallons of water a day.
The main canal carrying water from
the pumping plant at Coyote, is 25
feet deep and 60 feet wide. Beside
the irrigation project the company
has plans for an electric line running
north along the Columbia river into
the Big Bend country and making a
loop north and east of Waterville
The projected road is 1876 miles in
length.

LOSING THE
TEACHERS
ARE THAT COUNTY
WILL BE SHORT.-SONiE OF
LAST YEARS TEACHERS WED.

From the present prospects, it is
probable there will be a dearth of
teachers for the schools of this coun-
ty, according to statement made to-
day by County Superintendent Bow
ersox to a World reporter.
During the past week two have
been married, and from evidence de-
ducible in such cases, a large num-
ber of others will take the same step
before fall.
Chelan County has not yet receiv
ed the reputation matrimonially as
has her adjoining neighbor, Douglas
county, which, through a report sent
out from Waterville during the win
ter, has become known as the county
in which the bachelors take charge
of school affairs and eventually mar
ry the teachers.
THE schools in the towns are
pretty well-filled up for the coming
year." said Mr. Bowersox, but there
are many schools throughout the
county which may be left without
teachers unless we have more appli-
cations from the outside.

OUT ON A
MAN CHASE
CHIEF FERGUSON AND SHERIFF
WEBB START AFTER MEN AC.
CUSED OF SERIOUS CHARGE.

Warrants were issued at about
noon today for the arrest of Earl
Vachon and Prince Atkinson on a
serious charge preferred In the JUS
tice court. The charge is the result
of disgraceful affair which occurred
in vacant house on Chelan street
the first of the week. Before the pa
pers were served the accused men
received tip that they were to be
arrested and made their getaway.
Sheriff Webb and Chief Ferguson
started for the livery barn on Oron-
do avenue to make the arrest, but
the men drove out ahead of them,
and succeeded in getting across the
bridge into Douglas county.
Securing horses, Ferguson and
Webb took after the men, after hav-
ing been deputized by the Douglas
county sheriff. The men had about
half an hours start.
The chase promises to be SEN
satiOnal one, as the charges of rape
and attempted rape which have been
preferred will, if proven, land both
men in the state penitentiary for a
term of years.
Pearl SmOck, one of the girls in
the case, is now under surveillance.
The other girl, Mabel Hanigsman, is
only / 4 years of age.
The question of whether the Off
GERS will be able to overtake and ar
rest the men is doubted by some.
Atkinson is well acquainted with
the country and has many acquain-
tanceS in Douglas county who NAV
assist him in eluding the officers.
