WASHINGTON LEADS IN DAIRYINe

Broadview Dairy company, a $780,
900 corporation, of which A. Fl. Flood
of Spokane, is president. purposes to
have the largest dairy in the United
States. 1t has bought 500 acres OF
land near Rosalia, Wash, where it Will
support 800 high grade mich cows,
thus demonstrating the possibilities
of intensified farming in the Palouse
country, with the view to breaking up
the bonanza wheat fields and make
them small dairy and stock ranches
The company will feed alfalfa and eX-
poets each COW will produce from $75
to 500 worth of milk year, t show
that with a 40-acre ranch it is r sible
to produce almost as much revenue
as from 100 acres of wheat land.
The plans for the barns show struc-
lures which can be enlarged to ac-
commodate 500 COWS. They are of
modern dairy architecture and will be
of wood and cement, one story high;
each section extending at right angles
from the feed barn will be SO by 120
feet. Through the center of the barn
will run feed way and on each side
of this will stand the cattle, their
heads in the feed troughs, each Sc
cured by a swinging stanchion. The
stalls will have cement floors with &C.
ment cutters so constructed that they
can be flushed every day and the
water will drain away to the flats far
removed from the barns.
From an overhead track will sus-
pend large buckets run on a pulley
and used to carry away refuse from
the barn. These are carried by the
tracks outside of the barn, where
they are dumped into a wagon. Back
of each animal is a window, half of
the wall space being taken up with
windows. The barns are also venti-
lated through the roof, which has
glass windows admitting an abund-
ance of light. The cows will be test
ed twice a year for tuberculosis. The
feed barn is square and is higher than
the milk barns This is equipped with
a bath, lavatory, toilet and clothing
closets for the milkmen, who are re-
ouired to wear special suits while
milking. The milk house is 100 yards
from the milk barns.
Milk from the barns is run to the
milk house on a track. Wnen II
reaches the house it is first emptied
into the filter of cotton batting, ana
then is passed over the cooler, con-
sisting of coils filled with brine. Hav-
ing been cooled. the milk is placed
in the cold storage room, cooled with
ice manufactured on the ground. The
barns will cost $4,000, the entire in
vestment with stock and land repre-
senting $4,000. 1t will be operated
in connection with the dairy at Mar
shall Junction, where 400 COWS are
kept.

Professor Frandson emphasized a
truism when he said, "By selling only
the cream, farmers are retaining fully
50 per cent of the fertilizing material
contained in the feed. Perhaps this
can be better understood by saying
that $26 worth of wheat takes as much
fertility out Of the soil as $500 worth
of cream"

In the last issue of The Ranch the
conflicting regulations of the health
authorities of New York and Chicago
in regard to handling milk for city
consumption, were compared. Since
that time the Chicago city council
health committee has decided that
pasteurization of milk was ineffective
and useless, if not dangerous. A ma
jority voted for the depeal of the Sec
ton of the milk ordinance requiring
the pasteurization of milk from other
than tubercular-tested cows.

Like a Stage Romance.

Puccini said to the pretty servant:

A Buried Villa.

Another discovery of great interest
was made not long ago in Pompeii,
where the excavation work is being
steadily carried on. Under the ash
deposits there was found an extensive
villa of handsome construction and
ornamented with very fine frescoes.
The villa contains statues and other
works of sculpture both Greek and
Roman, besides very rich furniture
which is we'll ornamented and also
many vases of different kinds.
There were also found Golfers filled
with gold and silver money. In the
basement are great amphorae which
were used for storage purposes and in
the triclinium the tables were pre-
pared for banquet of 80 persons.
Some of the silver pieces seem to
have been taken out at a previous
epoch, for there are traces of clandes-
tine search which was made at a
former date.

Joke on Col. Bill.

Col. Bill, who died recently in Jones
county, Iowa, was pioneer legislator,
merchant and banker of the vest
pocket variety.
It was seldom that Col. Bill got
caught by a debtor, so unerring was
his judgment of men, but his transac-
ton with old man Blankerton was an
exception to the rule. Blankerton got
into Col. Bills ledger to the amount of
$50, and finally balanced the account
with note.
When the paper was long time
overdue and there was no prospect of
settlement, to the eminent disgust
of the colonel, he declared, with a
strong Anglo-Saxon emphasis, that he
would sell Blankerton's note for SO
cents on the dollar. The statement
was not long in reaching the ears of
the maker of the note He met the
colonel in the village street one day
and accosted him:
Bill. heard you'd offered to sell my
not for SO cents on the dollar"
yes; will.
will you sell it to me at that
rate?"
yes, sir: I'll sell it to you at that
rate"
"All right. Bill; make out new
note"
Col. Bills symptoms of apoplexy be-
came noticeable from that moment

is 200 YEARS OLD
COLONIAL HIGH CHAIR HELD As
PRICED RELIC.
Generations Of Youngsters, All De-
scendants of John Alden of the
Mayflower, Have Occupied Old
Piece of Furniture.

In his office at No. 6S Essex street,
Boston, Mass, William P. Church has
colonial high chair more than 200
years old that has held several gen.
erat1ons of round-faced youngsters, all
descendants of John Alden of the May
flower.
Mr.. Church is a direct descendant
of Alden. The chair was given to him
by his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Church
Stoddard, daughter of Lydia Alden,
who married Gamaliel Church. 81 am
sure that it belonged to your great.
grandfather" Mrs. Stoddard told him.
1T may have belonged to your great
great-grandfather
Mr.. Church feels assured that this
chair was used in the family of the
fifth John Alden, born in 174O, who
lived In Middleboro. 1t may have been
handed down to him by his father,
John Alden, born in 1918, who also
lived in Middleboro.
The chair bears evidence of it's age.
Well it may, for the Alden children
grew up very much as children grow
up today. On the arms of the chair
are countless childish scratches. There
are also one or two generous jabs
with knife or some other sharp in,
strument. The hickory foot rung is
impressed with the kickings of two,
and possibly three, generations of
chubby zeet.
Fashioned in the days when house
hold furniture was home made and
made COR keeps" this heirloom is an
interesting bit of workmanship A
friend o. Mr.. Church interested in an
tiques came into his Office to glance
at it one day and found that he had
spent half hour before he had fin.
ished turning it over.
There is not nail in it. The join.
ings, which only show fine .eeon,
and which have lasted for centuries,
were made with pegs. The small
pieces of wood at the back of the
chair were made from oak BARREL
slaves. A piece of homespun linen
duck, substantial and woven on an old
time hand loom by the mother or sis
ter in the family, is stretched across
the seat.
Abount an inch from the floor were
originally four cross pieces. Evidently
the temptation of placing ones toes
on one of these rungs and rocking
backward and forward, irrespective Of
whoever happened to be in the chair
was too much for the small Aldens
Three of the pieces have been rocked
away. Despite this the old chair wob
bles only slightly.

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by diseased con-
dition Of the kidneys and bladder.
1t Is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause Of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms Of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are
multitude Of well-known and I'M
mistakable indications of more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge" Sleep
1essness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, Inflammation Of
