Mining News

The lone Record has the following
| dope about mining matters in the Meta

With the approach of spring and the
extension of the I. & W. n. to Metaline,
come rumors of great things in the old
crmp. 1t is rumored that the Clark
property has been sold, and activity on
large scale will be begun at once.
What lends color to this is the arrival of
miners and laborers from the employ
ment offices, directed to the Inland
Portland Mining Co., and who insist
| they are going to work on the Clark
property. This adds certain confirm
alton to the reported sale, and would
also seem to indicate that the million
dollar cement people are also entering
the mining field. Another shade is
added from the fact that l.. 2. Larsen,
| the Metaline mining man, is interested
! in both the cement proposition and the
| Clark properties, besides being heavily
interested in other mining. properties in

How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. IS

HINTS FOR FARMERS
How to Save the Manure.


Where it is absolutely necessary to
store manure it should be kept under
cover if possible. where it will be free
from heavy rains and melting snow
which cause excessive teaching it the
manure is not properly piled A COW
cred manure shed. with tight concrete
floor, is desirable when daily hauling
cannot be practiced
Manure can be piled however, so
that there will be small loss of fer
tility The piles should be placed on
81 right board floor or on IL bottom Of
puddled clay and should be made with
perpendicular sides. the top of the pile
sloping toward the middle so that the
manure will be kept moist. Piles
should be deep enough so that the
heaviest rains or SHOWS will not wet
result in teaching. The important
point is to keep the manure constantly
wet. since fire fanging or heating,
which causes serious loss. occurs only
in dry manure.
Where phosphate fertilizers are to
be applied to the soil they may be
mixed with manure at the rate of one
