Wild Horses in Modoc Forest.

The supervisor of the MOdOc Ma
.ional Forest, California, reports
some interesting results in gather
ing wild horses. 1t is estimated
that there have been about 400 of
these animals running at large on
the Modoc forest, and the forest
service has been cooperating with
the principal owners of horses graz
ing on this forest in an effort to rid
the range of these pests. The rOdeo
was organized and put in charge of q
manager and notices were published
in two county papers stating when
and where the work would start.
Notices were also sent to different
stockmen. who, it was thought,
might be owners of such stock.
The rOdeo consisted of five men
forest rangers and stockmen), and
began on December %, continuing
four days. During these four days
forty-seven head of horses which
were considered wild, and which the
stOckmen heretofore have been I'M
able to gather, were cOrralled. These
range from 2 years old to 20 years
old, and, while some bore brands, it
was evident that few of them had
been cOrralled for number of years.
The rOdeO was undertaken at a
time of the year when the ground
was frozen hard. so that the animals
feet would become worn sufficiently
after a couple of days running to
make them tender and the horses
more easily handled. Unfortunately
, the rOdeo had to be discontinued on
account of the thaw, which prevent.
ed further work for that season
Another attempt at gathering the
remaining horses will be made dur.
ing the months of July and August
BY this means the relative advant.
ages of the two seasons can be de
termined.
One OF the features of the rOdeO is
to construct cOrrals in natural pas
sageways, and where this has beer
done it has proved success.
All unbranded horses gathered
and those of unknown brands, were
advertised by the manager Of the
rOdeO and sold to defray the expenses
of the gathering The others were
claimed by the stOckmen.

An UNIQUE Home.

John Seivert, lately from Iowa, with
a fat wife and seven children, is liv-
ing in splendid tree-stump house,
in the northern part of Seattle.
He came to this State some months
ago. He had but little money and a
large family. Because of the prevail
ing boom he was unable to find an
empty house and resolved to build
one of his own. He bought an unim-
proved lot, in a district where log
ging operations ceased about year
ago, and on going out to plan the
house he found half the lot occupied
by a gigantic cedar stump 30 feet
high and IS feet in diameter ten feet
above the ground.
With an auger and saw, Seivert
cut out a 7-foot section from one side
and walked into his stump. The
walls were found to be fifteen inches
thick, and the whole stump was {
hollow shell. He cut out windows
laid a tight floor and made a ceiling
of plank and flooring.
BY use of a ladder, he cut another
door, twelve feet above the ground
went inside and made the window!
for the second story. A third story
was constructed, and tight roof O
shiplap and shingles was made owe
the top.
Seivert peeled off the bark ant
painted the stump light green ant
the window and door frames a pur

The newspaper.

Henry Ward Beecher once said:
" In the United States. every worthy
citizen reads a newspaper and owns
it. A newspaper is a window through
which men look out on all that is 60
ing on in the world. Without q
newspaper a man is shut up in a

Won't Wear Out.

Just when you are in the greatest
hurry, the ribbon in the corset cover
or the chemise breaks and you have
no time to put in another. This is
just the way that wash ribbons do,
for they are fragile and after a few
washings are hoplessly worn. In
stead of using ribbons, get white
crochet cotton, crochet a string and
run it through the top of the corset
cover, finish each end with a little
tassel of cotton and you will have no
more trouble with broken strings.
If you do not care to use white
floss, then get white silkateen. 1t

thread, you can make it suitable for

Uses Of Sour Milk.
Dutch Cheese-In using clabbered
milk, as soon as the milk, is sutfi-
ciently solid, set the pan on the stove
to warm gently, stirring occasion
ally; do not heat too hot, or the
cheese will be tough. AS soon as
the curd will separate from the
whey, strain through a cheese-cloth
bag and hang to drain. If the milk
was very sour, the bag will have tO
be squeezed little occasionally, but
do not squeeze too much, as this will
make the cheese hard and dry
When well drained, take out the euro
and stir up in bowl with a littl,
sour cream, pepper and salt. If tht
milk was not allowed to get too hO
before straining off the whey, il
should be soft and creamy.
Dutch Cheese from Buttermilk-
The buttermilk must be fresh-no
sour and bitter. Set the buttermil
on the stove to warm gradually, stir
ing occasionally until the curd set
ties to the bottom with the whey OF
top, then strain and proceed as will
the clabber milk. If the whey il
saved, it makes a nice wash for tn,
hair, but must be well rinsed out.

A New Force Pump,

The Ellsworth Foundry and Machine
Works is now making for Old Town men
new force pump, which will soon be put
on the market. The pump is the inven-
tion of James E. McDade, of Old Town,
and C. E. Racliff, of Old Town, is associ-
ated with him in its manufacture.
The pump is built on entirely new prin-
ciples, and has about double the capacity
of ordinary force pumps. 1t is also easier
of operation, being operated by crank
instead OF by lever. 1t has capacity of
100 gallons in five minutes.
The pump will throw two streams OF
water at once through an ordinary garden
hose, to distance OF sixty feet from the
nozzle. 1t will raise water to tank
something like 200 feet.
The pump is particularly well adapted
for use on farms or country places, both
for the usual domestic purposes, for wash
ing carriages, and at the same time fur.
nishes fire protection. The pump seem,
destined to find large market.
