PHYSICIANS NOW FAVOR MILK
n c Regarded as Doubtful Diet 20
day 1t Is Preferred to Anything
Else for Sick.
DIV r. B. BUCKHAM.)


Dairying is always ure to prove
profitable. Many other ventures in
agriculture are fraught with risks and
uncertainties, but this invariably
proves secure, in season and u Of
season.
The demand for dairy products is
constantly on the increase. The time
was when the dairyman was com-
PEELED to be on the watch for a mar
ket for his commodities. Nowadays,
the consumer is out in search of him.
His market is assured. Conditions
have been reversed.
The constant growth Of the great
Industrial centers has slowly but sure
ly brought about a revolution in the
dairy market. Little by little the SUI
burban farmers have been forced to
retreat before the steady advance of
every farmer in the land is on an
equal footing with them.
Within a very few years the race
has come to recognize as it never did
before the true value of milk as an
article of food. Even among ply
s~1c1ans, too, this m change Of opin-
lon has come about. Formerly the doc
tor regarded milk as a doubtful ar
dcle Of diet for his patient. Now he
prefers 1t to anything else.
The steady increase in the price of
all dairy products Is the best tribute
to their worth that could possibly be
paid. The world at large is extending
them a recognition such as it never
did before; voluntarily places a high
or estimate on their value than
formerly.
The dairy farmer can ask no more
substantial evidence of appreciation
than he Is today receiving from the
community at large, in the shape Of
advanced prices for the products of
his care and labor. And it is well
earned and justly due.
Any man who is willing to conduct
a dairy, in a progressive and pains
taking manner is bound to put his
fellow men under a debt of obligation
to him which will not pass unre
Warded.

KING PLAN OF INHALATION
Arrangement by Which Foul Air OF
Barn Is Removed by Shaft-IIlus-
tration Shows Flues.

The King system of ventilation rs
an arrangement by which the foul air
of the barn is removed by a shaft
called a ventilator. 1t is built upon
the same principles as a chimney to a
fireplace. The fresh air is admitted
to the barn by ducts made in the wall
that open on the outside neal the base
of the wall and on the inside near the
ceiling, says Hoard's Dairyman. This
construction prevents the warm air
at the ceiling from passing down and
out and permits the cold air to be
tempered more or less before it reach
es the animals. The ventilating flue
takes the coolest and foulest air from

GREATLY ATTACHED TO 1T
Husband Who Had married Money"
Acknowledged the Truth to
His Friends's Query.

Apropus of a beautiful young wife,
worth $40, 900, 900, who had just d.
vorced her penniless husband in or
der to marry again, Henry E. Dixey,
the comedian, said at a dinner in New
York:
"The young man who marries for
money has none too easy a time OF 1t.
His rich wife Is likely to tire OF him
and throw him out in a few years, or
else she is likely to limit his allow
ance to 25 or so cents a day.
az married money a man once
said to me.
Wasn't there a woman attached
to it?' | asked.
Yes, you bet there was he ex-
ploded. so much attached to 1t that
she never parted with a penny"

Ace of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over a bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it Is hard to tell anything more
about Miss Oysters age. Oysters live
to be twenty years old.

Feeding SiIaqe.

The more progressive farmers have
silos and winter their cows largely on
silage, but even with this food the
COW must have some protein concen-
trate, and this is purchased in oil
meal, cottonseed meal, malt sprouts,
brewers grains, etc. The cottonseed
meal is said to be the cheapest car
rier Of protein and great quantities
are used, but the farmers are not sat-
isfed to pay out so much money for
these feeds.

A Question of Chance.

A story is going the rounds Of a
couple of young people who attended
church recently. When the collection

commenced fishing in his pocket for
a dime. His face expressed his en-
barrassment as he hoarsely whis-
pered: q" guess I haven't a cent, /

who had been examining the unknown
regions Of woman's dress for her
purse, turned a pink color and said:

Usinu Disinfectants.

There is no danger of using too
much disinfectants around the dairy
barn. Air Stacked lime is one of the
very best d~isinfectants that can be
used. Crude carbolic acid in warm
water is also very good. About a
tablespoonful to a gallon of water is
effective. Bichloride of mercury at
the rate of one ounce to each eight
gallons Of water is another mixture
that will prove death to the germs.

SEDONA SAYINGS

Despite the fact that the powers that be have decreed the territor- ial highway shall climb the noun tain by the prosaic Beaver creek road, the time will never come when the beauty-loving tourist will be content to miss the Oak creek scenery. Even the autoists are not dismayed by reports of the terrible" Schnebley grade. Two machines have just made the trip, one going each way.
 Frank Robertson and wife of Portland, Ore, ran from Flagstaff to Camp Verde, by way of Sedona, on June and, in six hours, without a mishap. He is enthusiastic over the scenery, claiming that the view of Oak Creek canyon is equal to the Grand canyon m details and coloring, lacking only the immen- sity of the latter. He is on a transcontinental tour, expecting to land in New York sometime.
 MT. and Mrs. ]. F. Dodds of Los Angeles, in a runabout car, came up from Camp Verde Satur- day and went on to Flagstaff after several days fishing. Though the road from Camp Verde has been neglected for years, they did not find it difficult. A small amount of intelligent work would make either the direct route or the de tour by Montezuma well a good auto road. The upper part of the Schnebley grade is not bad for autos now and with some changes

 MT. Costello is a wide-awake hustler and a young man fully capable of making his way in the world. Now, therefore, be he full ly and heartily congratulated.

Autos That Went BrOnc

o. s. Emblem's machine threw its head up in the air Sunday and attempted to knock down a line of telephone poles on the south side. The steering gear went wrong aft CT it went over the bridge and be- fore 1t could be stopped had pulled up one pole by the roots and re- ceived considerable damage itself.
 William Rabbit visited at c. N. Baty's and Charles Keller's Tues day on Leroux street. Instead of just leaving little old card, he left his automobile and some fence. You see, he was driving along, careful-like, when the ma chine got its tail over the line and snorted a gasoline snort. Before Billy could slam the clutches into it, the machine bucked through Baty's fence, kicking pansy in the face, and then, not satisfied, it wheeled south and reared into some more division line fence and stripped it. It only stopped when it saw John Francis auto in the next yard. Only one lamp was lost in the skirmish.
 Up to this time Billy's auto was thought to be we'll broken, but it is more broken now. It has eaten out of his oil can and otherwise manifested docile temper until this time.
 Both William Rudd and Billy pulled some leather, but were not scared up much.
 A little girl, on seeing the wreck, remarked: l wonder why Uncle Billy didn't go through the gate?"

under the hover: they will soon learn
where TO 60 when they get little
cold. See that they all go under the
hover the first night, and that they
are warm enough Always have lit
tie ventilation. as they must have
fresh air. Feed them often, but give
them only what they will eat up clean
each time. After they are about three
DAYS old they may be let out of the
hrooder II the weather is favorable.
After they are three weeks old they
may be fed larger grains. such as
wheat. cracked corn. buckwheat, etc.
Always bear in mind to keep them
we'll supplied with clean, fresh water
at all times. for this will save lot of
disease. If they do not have free
range. supply them with green and
animal food And grit should not he
forgotten. as it is very essential in
rearing chicks successfully.

FORMULA FOR GRATING WAX
Six Pounds Of Resin, Two Pounds of
Beeswax and One Pint Of Linseed
Oil Found Satisfactory.

The old formula for grating wax
was four pounds of resin. two pounds
beeswax and one pound Of tallow. A
better formula is six pounds of resin.
two pounds of beeswaX and one pint
of linseed oil. This is less likely to
cause the bark TO peel from the stock
around the graft than that made with
tallow. To make either melt the resin
and let ii simmer a few minutes.
Trim off dark colored surface of the
beeswax. shave the rest and put into
the resin. allowing 1t to work few
minutes. Add tallow or oil and stir
for a few minutes. then pour 1t into
cold water. Grease the hands, pull
and work it until it is a light-yellow
color Then make into rolls and wrap
in oiled paper. If too cold when
grating is done soften it in warm
water. The liquid grating wax may
be made from one pound white resin
and one ounce of beef tallow,> melt TO-
gether. and take il far away from fire
then add slowly eight ounces of al
cohol stirring steadily until ii is
smooth. Put in bottles and keep
corked when not In use. Apply with a
brush. Waxed cloth to bind around
CRAFTS are made by dipping the cloths
in melted or liquid grating wax.
