THE CAMELS ARE COMING
HO H0i H0 H0,

The sober, quiet, innocent look
ing camels in a menagerie are al
ways objects of no little interest,
because of their peculiar form.
With the herd of Cole Brothers
United Shows, which is billed to
appear in ShOshone June list, are
to be found some of the finest
specimens ever exhibited in this or
any other country, including the
only living giant wild black camel
known to man. While a party of
hunters were in the high and cold
regions near the Lake of Lob Nor
last December in search of rare
animals for Messrs. Cole, The men
sighted a small number of wild
camels, at the head of which was
one towering far above the others
in size and solid black in color.
Never having seen the like before
the collectors became filled with
desire to capture the strange crea-
ture. They succeeded but the
chase was a lengthy and strenuous
one and before the prize was fin
ally taken several battles royal
fought with Black King Camel vic
tOriOus in all but the last one.
Even after being captured the an
imal gave his keepers no end of
trouble and all kinds of difficulties
were encountered before it was
gotten out of its native stronghold
and safely aboard the boat. Sci
entists and all students of natur-
al history will find this untamable
quadruped an interesting study.

SPECIAL STORk SERVICE FOR
MAMMA FLIES

Swat the fly" campaigns FOL
1912 are well on. The elimination
Of this filthy and dangerous insect
is a desirable end. The house fly,
in additi, II to being a demonstrated
agent in the spreading of typhoid,
is siEOngly suspected, ON more OF
less conclusive evidence, with re-
lation to large number of infec-
tions, including cholera, dysentery,
the infantile diarrheas, diptheria
and contagious opthalmia. About a
billion flies were killed in various
campaigns of i9i1-a statement
which seems impressive until one
escaped the slaughter. In Wash
considers the number of flies that
ington, d. c., alone, some 100000
flies were killed by the swat"
the trap, drowning, sulphur fumes
and even by electrOcution. DR..
Howard, of the Bureau of Entom-
ology, points out that in the con-
genial climate of that city seven
generations of flies may be pro-
duced in a single summer. One fe-
male fly Will lay on an average a
batch of i20 eggs; and if all these
eggs from a batch laid in the mid
die of April should hatch and re-
produce their kind in like manner,
there would be by autumn, from a
single female fly, a progeny of
nearly six thousand billion. And
as each female may lay four bat
ches of eggs, the figures for their
unchecked development through a
summer stagger the imagination.
To swat" the fly by the billion
therefore, means little, says the
journal of the American Medical
Association, so long as those that
survive have unchecked opportun-
ity for breeding. There is even
more weight, therefore, in Stock
bridges statement that during 1911
filthy breeding places were cleaned
up, which, if let alone, would have
given opportunity for the propaga-
tion of incalcuable billions. Better
than 'swatting' the fly is the pre-
vention of its breeding by clean
ing up the places where it thrives-
the insanitary privy, the dead dog
or horse allowed to lie unburied
until putrid, the dung-heap, the
uncovered garbage can and the
spitiocn. How this can be done,
can be learned from the health
of many states and
municipalities, and from civic lea

Looks Good to Dry Farmers

We think Shoshone has had
plenty of rain fall during the last
two weeks, but it has had very lit
tie in comparison with most other
parts of the county. Wednesday
night heavy rain fell over the en-
tire eastern part of the county.
This was preceded by heavy rains
Saturday and Sunday until water
still stands in the low places. Fall
grain will soon be made without
irrigation and the entryman who
are taking up dry farms in the vi
cinity of MinidOka are very enthu-
slastic over the outlook. They
claim that this season there has
been more rain than is necessary
for making dry farm grain and
that if future seasons come near
ly up to the present season in
rain fall they will have no cause to
fear for their venture. This GER
tainly means much for the pros
perity of Lincoln county.

Dr.. Taper loaded his household
goods Wednesday and left for

be with us permanently in the
near future. However, the Pro-
mOter, on behalf of our people,
wishes the doctor and his family
all possible success in their new
home.
Practically every settler on the
letrich tract has a large or small
acreage planted to potatoes. These
putato fields run all the way form
four 20 thirty acres each. A care

BELIEVES IN LINCOLN COUNTY
FOR FRUIT

Frank NJ. Tuttle of Mabton,
Washington made fiaai proof on
his Carey entry just east of Sho-
shone tract last Saturday. He has
had ten acres of his claim cleared
and cultivated with the Intention
of planting it to apple trees next
spring. Mr.. Tuttle comes from a
fruit country and he believes that
this country is as good for fruit as
any part of Washington. He sold
some land there for 500 an acre
that had been planted to fruit for
only three years. The valley in
which Mabton is located supports
seven towns of from five hundred
to twenty five hundred population
and the total acreage under culti-
walton is only i25,0O0 acres. But
it is a fruit proposition and land
is valued very high. When this
country is recognized as a winner
for fruit. real estate values will
go soaring into the upper regions
and land will be hard to get hold
Of. A fruit country draws people
from everywhere and a country
that truthfully advertises as fruit
proposition can draw people from
less desirable localities. Many
farmers from the Dakotas settle

Memorial Services
Held in Shoshone

Again the citizens of ShOshone
met on Memorial day to honor the
heroes of the Civil war with SYM
pathy and gratitude for the living
and tears and flowers for the dead.
By these services the young, more
especially, are taught to realize
the value of patriotism and to ap-
precIate more fully the sacredness
Of the flag. the emblem of our
reunited and happy country.
The assembly hail of the new
school building was we'll filled and
prcfusely decorated with flags
and flowers. Occupying one side
OF the long room was a row of 40
little girls and boys dressed in
white who later participated in
marching. singing and flag drill on
the rnstrum that was one of the
prominent features of the occasion.
Victor o. Johnson presided in
connection with A. |. Mcmahon, the
president of the association. The
nnsic was led by a male quartette
consisting of John Helman, c.. F.
Borden. Glenn Massey and Gilbert
Brinton.
a recitation giving incidents of
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech was
rendered by Miss Lenora Noble. ana
another appropriate recitation was
given by Leary Hughes.
The memorial address by Harlan
ID. Heist surprised the audience by
Is eloquence and pathos. 1t was
a splendid effort.
The veterans present were Judge
J. L. Fuller, Rev. w. J. Barger,
Alex Morrison, John d. SAVERS. r.

At the cemetery the old soldiers
took charge of the services which
were most touching and impressive.
The graves of departed heroes
were strewn with fragrant flowers
whose delicate beauty spoke of un-
dying love and taught anew the
lesson of Immortality for those
who fought manfully for the ma
tion's life.
The services throughout were
impressive and reflected
great credit on all who participat-
cu, whether on the platform, at the

Now the first and best method
of preventing mosquitoes is to des-
troy their breeding places. This
you can do by allowing no stagnant
water to exist. Close your rain
barrels, leave no old buckets stand
ing around with water in them,
drain the low places. look out for
hollows or pockets in large rocks
around the premises and examine
the Cpturned tin cans in the gar
bage heap to see if any contain
water. In excavations in cities,
large pools of stagnant water often
stand for a long time. Enough
mosquitoes will hatch in one day
in one of these pools to annoy a
whole ward.
The second best method of pre-
mosquitoes is to kill the
larvae in the breeding places that
cannot be readily eliminated by
drainage or other wise. This is
accomplished by the film system.
The film system consists of apply
ing kerosene to the surface of the
infested water by means of large

in order to break the oil UP into

destroys the larvae by clogging up
their breathing pores when they
come to the top for air. All vege-
tation projecting through the sur
face of the water and any floating

fore applying the kerosene, for if
to remain it is liable to
rupture the film and thus allow

will come here when the fruit
proposition is established and fully

of the opinion that the time IS
ripe for an extensive advertising
campaign showing to the outside

ranches have raised fruit sue
cessfully for twenty years and that

Producing a Firm
Body In Butter

With the soft butter fat which
is produced at this season OF the
year and the warm weather coming
On il is rather diffucult to secure
a firm bodied butter. The softness
of the fat causes the butter to
ca me in a soft condition. When
butter is worked in this condition
it becomes sticky and greasy.
When placed on the table this kind
of butter does not tempt the ap-
petite as does butter which has a
firm waxy body.
This softness of the butter fat Is
due to a high per cent of oleIn in
the fat and not to the presence
OF moisture as some might suppose
,Olein has a very low melting point
as compared with the other gly-
cerids of fat found in butter fat.
The per cent of olein varies with
the individuality and breed of the
COWS, and the feed which they re-
ceive. The time of the lactation
period also effects the per cent of
the olein. When the cows go on
grass in the spring there is quite
a high per cent of olein causing
the butter fat TO become soft at
a comparatively low temperature.
The question is sometimes asked
az to what temperature cream
should be churned in order to OBJ
tain a firm body in the butter.
This question can not be answered
directly as the hardness or soft
ness of the fat varies with the
above mentioned factors. An accu-
rate thermometer should be used
and a trial churning at certain
temperature should guide the but
Ter maker for the succeeding
.churning. If the butter comes soft
a lower churning temperature
should be employed the next time.
A good rule to follow is to bring
&he temperature of the cream
down so as to have the butter
come in granules the size of wheat |
kernels. When butter is too soft it
comes III a f'aky instead of gran
.ular condition.
In order to secure a fine waxy
body in the butter great care |
should be taken not to over churn.
This also applies to the washing
of the butter alter the buttermilk |
has been removed. Excessive
churning IN the bnttermilk or in
the wash water is liable TO pro-
-duce a weak bodied butter. The
glass in the churn should be
watched carefully and as soon as
hte granuleS have reached the des-
ired size the buttermilk should be
drawn off. h washing the butter
SIX OF eight revolutions of the
churn are sufficient.
The butter should not be allowed
10 become soft during the washing
and working process if the best
body is desired. The wash water
should be the same temperature
or few degrees lower than the
cream before churning. The but /
Ter should be worked in a cool
room and should be worked only
enough to dissolve and distribute
the salt. 1t should not be allowed
to become soft after it has been
made so as to go on the market or
to the consumer in a firm condition
