BIG TRIP or FAMOUS COOK
late George wv. Harvey Made 5000
Mile Journey to Supervise Prepara-
ton of Single Course Of Dinner,

George w. Harvey the inventor of
steamed oysters, and famous res
taurant keeper, who died in Wash
ington the other day, was once the
hero of stunt that in some respects
made the exploits of Lucullus and
other noted gourmets of ancient Rome
look cheap and commonplace. He
made 5000 mile journey to cook or
supervise the cooking of single
course of a dinner.
A wealthy Englishman, noted for his
love of good living, while on visit
to Washington, was given a dinner
at Harvey's, at which terrapin formed
the piece de resistance. 1t was the
first time the Englishman had en-
countered the famous Maryland deli
cacy, and it made an instantaneous
and profound hit with him. He de-
cided he would have to introduce the
dish to his London friends, and at
once entered into negotiation with
Harvey 20 come to London and do
the cooking.
Harvey named his price, and 1t was
accepted without murmGr, although
it was a stiff one, as he was q portly
man and did not like to travel. At
the appointed time he engaged his
passage, for England, took a sufficient
number of live terrapin along with
him and sailed for the British metfop-
olis. He supervised the preparation
of the turtles in the kitchen of the
Cecil hotel, saw that they were
cooked and served properly, collected
his 81 900 honorarium and his ex
penses and took the next steamer
back to New York.

Washington.-They are telling with
great gusto this one on Senator

senator, who knows good thing when
he hears it, is telling it himself
Senator fernando de Soto Money
of Mississippi was weary with the
prolonged tariff rebate the other day
and betook himself into the cloakroom
to rest. He lay down on couch and
was ingthat position when some one
came into the cloakroom and sat down
near him. Senator Money. unfortu
nately, has trouble with his eyes and
did not discern who his neighbor was
''Who's talking?" asked the Mlssis
sippi senator Isn't that old fool
Bill Stone, through yet? What's the
sense in his talking, anyhow? No
body wants to listen to him. Some
body ought to go and tell him to quit"
To all this the listener assented.
Presently Senator Money asked:
"Who's this sitting here?"
Its that old fool, Bill Stone" was
the reply.

ing claims that adding one pound of
salt to every gallon of cream imme-
diately after it is taken off the milk
aids in ripening the cream and gives
from 15 TO 90 per cent. more butter
than from cream that has no salt in it
The butterlnilk is, of course, useless
as it cannot be fed to stock when
it contains so much salt, but its loss
is more than made up by the large
quantity and better quality of butter
it is claimed. Has anybody tried it
over here?
TO prevent the taste of turnips in
the butter from cows fed on them, d
western creamery practices the fol
lowing method; Put the cream into a
vessel and place in hot water at 200
degrees. When the cream reaches .
temperature OF 145 or $50 degrees, set
the cream dish in cold water to cool It,
Experiments seem to show that the
longer the interval between milking
the poorer the milk. The milk is inn
poverished by the absorption of the
fats after it is secreted.
Ii milk which has been set for some
time and on which the cream has
partly raised is stirred the cream
never raises again fully, SO there is
a considerable loss of butter from it

A jersey Herd.

Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey. Each
of these breeds has certain charap-
teristies which make it adaptable to
certain conditions, and it shall be the
purpose of this article to enumerafe
the qualities of each breed and then
let the reader judge for himself which
breed is best suited to his conditions.
The Jersey is the smallest, and least
adaptable for beef of any of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey gives the richest
milk and the smallest amount Of any
at the age of Ia months. Jerseys are
noted for the persistence of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey is the earliest
maturing OF any; some heifers have
been known to calve before reaching
age at which they yield milk. Cases
are on record whore cows have given
milk for years with only one calf
One cow gave milk for FIVE years
without refreshening but once. Jerseys
will make greater amount of butter
fat out of the same amount of food
than will any other breed, There
arc two things which make it pos
sible for the Jersey to lead In this
respect II has the least tendency of
any to convert the food into body fat
instead of butterfat; in the production
of a pound OF butterfat it does not
have to produce at the game time
so much of the other constituents of
milk. They are fairly good rustlers.
and stand heat better than any other
breed
The Guernseys are similar to the
Jerseys in size. form and general
characteristics. They are larger, a
little coarser and little more beefy.
The milk is yellower, but not quite
so rich To Offset this, however, they
win give more milk. which makes the
total amount of butterfat practically
the same for the two breeds.
The Ayrshires are about the same
size as the Guernseys-na namely, 1000
1,100 pounds for mature COWS. They
carry more natural flesh than the Jer-
seys and Guernsey, which makes them
more suitable for beef, and also for
crossing with beef breeds. Ayrshires
give more but thinner milk than the
Jerseys and Guernseys. Their milk is
especially adapted for retail trade and
cheese making.
The Holateins are the largest of any
of the dairy breeds. The calves are
large at birth and make good veal
The IIolsteins give by far the most
milk.

DIAMOND LODGES IN HER EAR
Loss Of Gem Causes Philadelphia Woman Many sleepIess Nights

At the same time zhe suffered from excruciating pains ia the head, which do not always ac- a>mpany the loss of a diamond worth aueral hundred dollars.
 The sleepless nights were easily ex- plained. She was kept awake by her continual worry over the loss of her brilliant. The pain in the head was also reasoned out in that manner, es- pecially by her friends, but as it kept growing worse she applied for relief at the Samaritan hospital. It did not take iong for the doctors to find out what was wrong. The diamond, in some manner, had slipped into her ear and became lodged in her ear drum. The pain passed away imme- diSGsIy.

THE COPPER ] MERGER,

The latest news from the proposed copper merger company received yes terday from the Associated Press dce5 not bear out the earlier predictions which placed the Phelps-Dodge in tersts in the merger. It is known that only five of the big producing companies will join in the formation of the new corporation which is to be capitalized for seven or eight hundred millions of dollars.
 It is to be hoped that the proposed merging oE some of the big copper producers will be consummated aud whether the Phelps-Dodge interests are included will not retard very much from the good effect of the pro posed action, as whether in the con- bination or not, both the Phclps-Dodge company and the Calumet C eecla would no doubt gladly join in auy pra- position which would protect the prico of copper by the amount of produc- ton.
 Any joining of the copper producers in concerted action for the protection of the copper industry from further lowering of the price of the red metal would not be likely to affect this sec ton of the country and especially this section of Arizona, harmfully, for the reason that the Bisbee ores will yield i copper at a less cost than any other mines in the country with the possible
 exception Of some of the Utah prop critics.
 Since the announcement of the pro- posed copper merger there has been
 a great revival of stocks in those com. panies mentioned as likely to be in, cludde in it, and als otBere has been an advance of the price of the stock oi

MUCH WILD GAME IN OREGON
Special Hunters Sent Out by Forest Service Doing Much Good on
 Sheep and Cattle Ranges.

Portland, Ore. Reports just re- ceiyed by the Portland office of the forest service indicate that the special hunters sent out on Oregon ranges this spring by the service were doing immense good to the sheep and cattle ranges. Bears, coyotes and mountain lions have fallen before their guns and poison traps with great certainty, and for the first time in many years the ranges look to be at least partially cleared of wild heasts.
 One hunter empIoyeo vn the Ere mont National range, in report made to the forest service, tells that in the period between March 15 and June 30 he killed 12S coyotes and ten wild cats. Another hunter on the Wallowa National forest reserve during the month of May killed Six large bears, while still another on the same for. est made away with 26 coyotes.
 These figures do not near cover the number of animals destroyed, for many of them die in their holes and tn heavy undergrowth near the rivers A poisoned animal immediately tries to get to water, and many of the scaIps are lost through the coyotes heading for the rivers and dying il the heavy underbrush near by.
 It is estimated that a coyote al large in sheep raising country is re sponsible for a loss of from S100 to S150. If but 50 of them are killed in Ore gon this year, and it seems probable | that many of them will be, it means a saving of nearly s5O,OO0 to the sheeE | and cattle raisers.

RAT AND RATHER IN FIGHT
Common House Rodent Dsfeats Big Snake In a Fierce Battle Last
 ing Thirteen Rounds.

New York.-A common house =s fought 13 rounds with a rattlesnake with 13 rattles in a barn on the farm of Edward Hawkins, near Bayonne, the other day. It killed the rattler in the last round by getting 8 strangle hold on it and retaining it until the reptile fay dead.
 Twelve times the snake coiled, sprung its rattle. and struck at the rat Each time the little animal lodged and saved itself. The rattler was coiling for the thirteenth stroke when the rat dashed in and sank it's long, shap teeth into the snakes neck until they met and locked. The rat tier reared itself and thrashed wildly about the place in its efforts to free itself The rat suffered terrible pun, ishmept while that thrsshing was go. ing on. Not for an instant, however, did it loosen it's grip. It seemed to know that to do so would spell death for it, and it was not ready to die. When finally the rat had finished it's poisonous foe it let go it's hold, backed of, and seemed well satisfied with what it had done.
 The fight was not due to accident. It was set up by Hawkins, a truck farmer, and his brother, Joseph. They watched it from start to finish, and after the rat had won they asserted they would match the victor against all corners in the rat or the snake line. Joseph is a farmer in Sussex county, N. J. He took the rattlesnake to Bayonne in a suit case, after he had captured it in his chicken house and narrowly had escaped being bitten. Edward Hawkins had caught a large rat in a barrel trap. He suggested that the snake and the rat be per mitted to fight to the death. The men thought the rattler would make short work of the rat and swallow it. In the Hawkins barn there is a smalll drying room, which has no crevices in the walls or floor The rat and the rattler were turned loose in that room, and the two Hawkins watched them from the trap door above. When the rat had circled about the room and discovered there was no way it could escape, it dashed at the snake when ever it was uncoiled The rattler rat tied and the rat squeaked viciously The fight ragged all over the room, un til finally the rat got the hold that strangled the snake with the unlucky thirteen rattles,

Jo5 PAID ONE CENT YEARLY
Letter Carrier on Small Route in IIIi- nois Loses Position Paying
 Srnail Salary

GaIena, Ill.-Aftes carrying nah oyer an eight-mile route since 1881 for the pay of one cent year, the carrier has lost his job. It was not from neglect of duty that this em- ploye of the government was severed from the payroll. Neither is there any evidence that he was unwilling to continue longer the duties of his position, for he worked as long as his penny year was forthcoming.
 The postoffice department has de- cided to discontinue star route No. &, ,I25, between Dodgeville and Min eral Point. This line of eight miles was a remnant of the old route estab- Hshed between Milwaukee and Galena in 1885. It was reduced to eight miles in 1881. The carrier has re. ceiyed offers as high as S20 for his government order paying him his yearly stipend, but has thus far re, sisted the souvenir hunters.

COPPER THE ONLY SICK ONE.

Iron Ore after pointing to return ing prosperity to almost every indus try except the copper industry. has this to say concerning that:
 Tn times when there is a short age of cars to pull our crops to mar ket, when. the iron ore mines are work ing nights, days, and Sundays to keep up with orders. when steel stocks are far beyond any former record, and going higher, when merchants can aot get clothing for their actual needs, when meats and breadstuffs and fuel and rents and labor are all advancing. why should copper be in the dumps?
 Simply because the producers have permitted the consumers to make the price, and that price too low for con ducting the industry properly
 Tt is just as it used to be when the ore miners let the consumers make the selling figures. No matter how little ore was mined, or how much, the price was low because the miners accepted such rates as the consumers made, and they did this because they had no agreement among themselves for their protection. We have these troubles no longer because we now move more intelligently and unani- 1 mously.
Bisbee daily review., 1909-11-20

expected to be resumed and when the time for investment in the develop ment of copper mines arrives. Arizons will resume the prosperity which so distinctly marked every district in the territory four. five and six years ago.
 The action of the market which was caused by the mere announce ment of the proposition to merge some of the large copper producing com panies is sufficient evidence that the country believes that such action would result beneficial to the entire industry. regardless Of whether all the producers are included in the new cor. poration or not.
