WALKER, May 7.-The mining in- terests are looking up very well in the Walker district. There are several properties now in operation and there will be many more to start as soon as the Humboldt smelter gets in opera tion. The Mudhole mine is being un- watered now and new repairs are being made rapidly. Jack Adamy, one of the pump men, reports that the water is being lowered at the rate of 12 feet in 24 hours. If no more mishaps occur this property will soon be in condition for mining, which will mean great prosperity for Walker. It will give employment to at least 100 or 150 men. The Sheldon mine when started will employ quite a number of miners also. Nyberg Brothers, Wm. Wieks and Wm. Gronland are also working their claim and are opening up some nice ore on what is known as the Dutch Company group of claims. These men are good experienced miners and will no doubt make a success in min ing in the near future.
 c. c. Stukey is feeling good over the prospects now in store for the grocery man. He has enlarged his force in the store, and now has Amos Swigert be- hind the counter. The firm has pur- chased a new delivery wagon, and the faithful burro is now out of eommis- sion

PRUNING TREES.
Different Kinds of Trees Require DIFF
ferent Treatment.

In pruning any class of trees the
purpose for which the trees are being
grown should be kept in mind. For
est trees should be trimmed to OBJ
tain straight trunk free from large
side branches. Under forest condi-
tons where the trees are properly
crowded natural pruning will occur and
there will be but little necessity for
artificial trimming. Trimming off of
the lower branches of a tree does in
duce more rapid growth in the head
of a tree. Where there are number
of lower branches to be trimmed from
tree, says Wallace's Farmer, they
should be trimmed off gradually and
not in one season, as this would dis
turb the balance between the roots and
the top of the tree. Probably the
best time for pruning or trimming is
in the early spring before the growth
starts
In the pruning of fruit trees the
object is to obtain the greatest amount
venient form. Therefore we prune to
obtain a low, open-headed yet COM
pact tree. A low-headed tree bears
the fruit in a more convenient form
for picking. An open-headed tree by
letting in the sunlight obtains an
earlier and evener ripering of the
fruit. Pruning of fruit tree insures
the throwing out of younger fruit
bearing branches.

THE COW AS A MARKET.
Profitable Place to Dispose of the
Produce Raised on the Farm.

The good cow-that cow which con-
verts a maximum amount of the
available nutriment in her feed into
milk-is the best market in the coun-
try for the grain grown upon the farm
Engaging in dairying doesn't mean the
giving up of grain raising. 1t gener-
ally means filling less number of
acres, but not less grain. Increased
fertility of the land and better tilling
of the soil means greater yields per
acre at greater profit.
A market must be found for that
grain. If an elevator man in a neigh
boring town pays few cents more
per bushel than the buyer in the home
market the farmer is tempted to haul
his grain to the neighboring town.
Why not sell this grain to the good
dairy cow and save the long haul?
asks the Northwestern Agricultural
list. She will not have to be very
good dairy COW to return $3.50 in prod
uce for every dollars worth of feed
she gets. But in doing this why not
sell to cow that will return over
$500 worth of butter for every dol.

THIS AND THAT ABOUT COWS.
Various Points Which the Successful
Dairyman Must Keep in Mind.

In nearly all cases the farmer who
has good sized herd of cows and no
separator can well afford to sell his
poorest COW and buy separator. 1t
will save him money in the end.
A Jersey cow will make more butter
pound for pound of feed consumed
above what is taken by the necess1-
ties of the animal than any other
breed because for generations she has
been bred especially for butter pro-
duction.
1t is the COW in good flesh that does
her best in the milk line. When she is
thin and hungry all the time she will
surely put the biggest part of what is
given her on her back. This means
loss in the pail and in the butter.
The advantage of dairy education
to any person contemplating engaging
in this business cannot we'll be over
estimated, declares the Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Much practical education
can be gained in short time in a
dairy school that could scarcely be Sc
cured by years of experience without
1t is only in exceptional cases that,
with the exception of mill feeds, the
average farmer can afford to purchase
any considerable amount of feed. 1t is
selling the feed raised at good price
by feeding to good dairy cows and SELL
ing the product that makes dairyfng
most profitable.
The experiment of churning each
cows milk in a separate churn has
shown that cows which give only a
small quantity of milk often produce a
larger proportion of butter than the
copious mixer The actual quantity of
milk yielded by cow is not always
sure criterion of her value as but
ter-maker.
The production of milk and butter
fat by dairy COWS under normal con-
ditions increases with each year up
to the fifth or sixth year, when the
cow is at her best The length of
time she will maintain her maximum
production depends ON her constitu-
tional strength and the care with
which she is fed and handled.

sHAWLs NOW THE FASHION,.
Made of Crepe and Silk, They Are
Seen Everywhere.

One who is in Paris writes that the
fashion of the day is for shawls made
of crepe and silk. They are worn in
Highland fashion, with the right end
thrown over the left shoulder.
All edges are heavily fringed and
there is a lovely border in rich colors.
These are worn by women who are
driving, by those sitting in boxes at
the theater and by those wearing
smart one-piece costumes at after
noon affairs.
The best ones are in cream, in
white and in black, but all have the
colored border.
The most desired shawl is one Of
real Chinese crepe. These come in
many colors, with heavy embroidery
and deep, thick silk fringe.
This has succeeded the Spanish
shawl, which began the popularity.
Just why this fashion came about
no one knows. If it had begun in
London the reason would be simple,
because Edward VII. revived his
mothers custom this Christmas of
sending out half hundred Indian
shaw1s as gifts to his friends.

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements Will Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface OF q
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms OF paint dis
ease" it is evident that poor painter
has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
1t is an easy matter to be informed
ON paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
specifications for all kinds
of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using it.
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every HORSEPOWER should
make it a point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark OF
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of pure white lead, is an alb
solute guarantee of the purity and
quality of the white lead sold under
1t. That trademark is q safeguard
against paint trouble.

THE USEFUL OUTER SLEEVE.
Many Ways by Which Continuance
May Be Made Up.

Now that long sleeves are once
more in, women must resort to outer
sleeves as protection if they are work
ing or writing. This need is often
filled by sleeves of folded handker-
chiefs, but the chief objection to them
is that they require too frequent
washing.
Quickly made and convenient pro-
tectors can be made from sheets or
stiff writing paper, commercial size.
Use the paper crosswise, fold back
the two lower corners about half the
depth of the sheet and turn in the
upper halves and across the top to the
depth of an inch. This gives firm
surface to hold pins and the turned
back corners enable the cuff to reach
nearly to the elbow on the back OF the
arm where the sleeve rubs without
interfering with the action OF the
arm.
These paper cuffs can be used sew
eral times before they need be thrown
away.
Another convenient cuff is made
from white oilcloth. These should pc
long enough to reach to the elbow at
the back of the arm and should slope
well below the bend of the arm IN
front. Sew in a seam and punch TWO
small holes on each side of the seam
at the top of the cuff, through which
to pin a small safety pin.
That the safety pin may not ever
be missing, attach one to each cuff
with a short tape. These oilcloth cuffs
can be washed off and have the ad-
vantage of lasting longer than paper,
without needing the washing OF mus
lin or handkerchief protectors.

Amethysts for Day Wear.

For day wear amethysts are I'M
doubtedly the fashion. The really well
dressed woman has sets of these, hat
pins. long watch chain and brooch to
match In most of the hat pins the
stone is elongated or spherical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite fiat, and the links OF
the chain are of gold and about half
inch in length. This is a smart de-
sign and looks equally well when worn
with either a tailored or lingerie waist.
Lapis lazuli is also popular and be-
coming for brooches. Large square
or acknowledged ones, set in silver,
are very stylish, worn at the throat to
hold ones jabot in place.

THE FARM SEPARATOR.
Really the Only Economical Way Of
Handling Cream.

The plan of having small separators
on the farm and sending only the
cream to the factory is now quite com
mon and on the increase. The skim
milk is thus made available at once for
teeding, and it is warm, sweet and not
adulterated with factory washings.
The cream only needs to be cared for
and delivered to the factory, making
quite a saving in labor of transporta-
ton. The cream gathering plan will
do away with the return to the farm
Of the contents of a filthy skim milk
tank that communicates milk cans and
endangers the lives of calves and pigs.
The chance of young stock taking a
disease that may be on distant farm,
the germs of which may be delivered
to the creamery and carried away in
the skim milk to other farms, is also
avoided.
Any system which does away with
the seemingly useless labor of handling
eight or ten pounds for the delivery of
one will be most welcome, says the
Wisconsin Agriculturist. In the sea-
son Oh DaQ ROADS II is QlHCulC TO carry
large loads of cans, and sometimes it
Is impossible to transport milk to the
creamery when cream alone might be
carried. Besides the advantage Of
having to haul only a small amount in
stead of a large amount, it is an ad-
vantage to have cream removed on the
farm, so that the skim milk may be
fed when fresh. The gathered cream
system with deep set milk gives these
results only partially.

RULE FOR FEEDING.
Farmer Must Know His Cows TO BE
Able to Feed Profitably.

While all experienced dairymen
must admit that there are no fixed and
set rules by which dairy cows can be
fed for best results there are certain
principles which may well be followed.
Prof. G. H. Echles of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station has the following
wholesome advice to give on this mat
ter:
1t is possible to feed a bunch of
COWS economically only when they are
fed as individuals and not as herd.
A too common practice. even in the
otherwise we'll conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
OF grain regardless of the period of
lactation or the quantity of milk indi-
vidual cows are producing. SSch feed
ing always lacks economy, as the high
producing COW does not get enough,
and while she may milk very we'll for
a short time, she soon comes down to
a lower level, while the lighter produc-
ing cow gets too much and accumu-
lates fat.
The following rules regarding the
1IAOuLAL CO LSSQ COWS CON6ES GDc Case
fairly we'll;
l. Feed all the roughness they will
eat up clean at all times.
2. Feed one pound of grain per day
for each pound of butter fat produced
per week, or one pound grain daily for
each three pounds of milk.
3. Feed all the cows will take with
out gaining in weight.
The rule regarding the amount of
grain to feed per day for each cow APP
plies best when based upon the
amount of butter fat produced per
week, as this makes it applicable to
any breed. The second part of the
rule in regard to feeding one pound
of grain for three pounds of milk
would not work out in all cases, since
in a heavy milking Holstein COW this
gives a little too large a quantity of
grain, and with a Jersey giving very
rich milk, it is a little too low.

sToPPAGE AT POINT OF TEAT.
DR.. David Roberts Cautions Owners Of
Cows That Have Such Trouble.

A very common trouble in the ordi-
nary dairy is to find an animal with
the point of the teat closed, either due
to bruise of the teat itself or to in
lection in the milk duct which causes
a little scab to form over the point of
the teat, and unless this is properly
handled with care and cleanliness, the
infection is apt to cause loss of the
entire quarter.
The proper manner in which to han
die and treat such cases is to thor
oughly wash the teat in an antiseptic
solution, then dip a teat plug into q
healing ointment and insert it into the
point of the teat, allowing same to
remain from one milking to another
In this manner closure of the point Of
the teats can be overcome in a very
simple and satisfactory way.
Never use a milking tube if it can
be possibly avoided as there is much
danger of injecting the entire quarter
by the use of the tube.

A good cure for that trying ailment,
hands that are clammy or perspire, is
to keep on your dressing table a small
cheesecloth bag filled with one part
borax and three parts starch. This if

Another help is to keep bottle Of

Dairyinq Making Advances.

No branch of agriculture has made
greater progress in the United States
during the past decade than has dairy
ing. Dairying, instead of being an adj
iunct to farm work, oftentimes a los
ing one, has come to be a specially
and in the majority of cases a highly
profitable one And, what is most i'm
portant, perhaps, TO farming prosperity
in general, it has brought with it di-
versified cropping, and wherever prac-
ticed. increased fertility to the soil.
