Jam started a, Medicine.

Jam in it's early days seems to have
been regarded as possessing medicinal
properties. Gait in Annals of the
Parish notes "a new luxury that got
In among the commonalty about 1850.
BY our young men that were sailors
going to Jamaica and the West Indies
heaps of sugar and coffee beans were
brought home. while many. among the
cabbages in their yards, had planted
berry bushes. which two things hap
pening together the fashions of max
ing jam and jelly came to be introduc

jelly was an excellent medicine for a

as London candy for cough or a cold

ApriI In wsstsrn Europ..

April is one of the driest months In
the whole year in England. In the
southeast of England, including Lon
don and its surrounding counties, the
average April rainfall is only 1.64 Inch.
That Of March. 'reputed the driest
month, is LAC, while Mays rainfall is
nearly a quarter of an inch in excess
Of April's. Not'only is April a dry but
also a very cold month. April 10th to
18th is a VIGOROUSLY cold period.
All over the western part of Europe
April is a month which is justly dread
ed for its severity. Even in Spain this
is the case. In central Spain there Is
an old story that a shepherd promised
March lamb If he would temper the
winds to suit his fiocks. March did
so, but the faithless shepherd failed
to keep his promise. In revenge
March borrowed three days from April.
which were worse weather than any
experienced in March.-London An

There is a curious superstition in ia

house all the water in it is poisoned at
once and must be thrown away. the
reason given being that Death cools
his "sting" after destroying life in the
first water he finds, and as no one can
tell-death being invisibe-what jar he
may choose it is safest to throw it all
away. Careful people to save trouble

A CORRECTION

We gladly publish the following
letter which explains itself:
Gentlemen: There has appeared
i'm the local papers recently an arti-
Gle to the effect that the Public
Service Commission of the State Of
Washington did not grant the re-
quest of this company for a few
months extension in the matter OF
charging for meter rentals and that
the meter rentals would be dispensed
with in on June 18th. This was not
true as the Public Service Commits
sion granted our request that meter
rentals should be charged for in
both Pasco and Kennewick until
September LIST, when they should
be done away with entirely. This
the Company will do on September
LIST, but I would like to have you
correct this impression in this week s
issue if you will kindly do so.
Very truly yours,
Pacific Power & Light Co.

essafy FOR a COW for one day. A bal
anced ration IL one In which the carbo-
hydrates. fat and protein are in the
right proportion to each other. One
pound Of digestible protein to six
pounds Of digestible carbohydrates and
fats Is considered about right.
Alfalfa is one of Gods greatest gifts
to the dairyman. For feeding value it
comes nearer to grain than to hay.
With plenty of corn silage and alfalfa
hay very little grain is needed to keep
up good milk flow. One ton of choice
alfalfa hay is said to equal one ton of
wheat bran in food value.
Glover hay is one of the easiest crops
on our land. is excellent in food value
as a milk producer and a good food
to give we'll favored milk and butter.
Any Objectionable favor found in rank
clover pasture Is overcome in the we'll
cured hay. Next to clover might be
placed hay made Of peas and oats.
To have prime oat straw for feeding
it is wise to cut the oats little on the
green side.
Nothing will prove more profitable
than a patch Of sweet corn for fall
feeding for the cows. Plant 1t early
In a. convenient place. Plant thinly
so as to have good strong corn. Sugar
cane or common field corn also makes
good autumn feed.
Into every hundred pounds Of milk
the cow puts eighty-seven pounds Of
water. A COW to keep up a heavy
milk flow must have all the clean. pure
water she can drink. The average
milking COW will take from eighty to
a hundred pounds Of water per day.
We should induce the COW to drink
plenty. The ideal way is to have wa
ter always before her. If this Is not
convenient she should get water twice
a day.
It is out Of the question to talk Of
tempering the water. but If the chill
could be removed the cows would GER
ta1nly drink more.
Salt convenient for the cows in
creases their thirst
Cement SiIos Popular.
The cement silo is growing steadily
In favor. 1t is comparatively easy to
construct and has a nice appearance
on a farm. The silage keeps perfect
~ If the corn goes in in good condi-
ton.
The primary principle in the making
Of silage is the exclusion Of air in Or
der to prevent decay; therefore not
only the walls Of the silo, but the doors,
must be perfectly air tight.
The walls should not only be tight
and rigid, but they should also be
smooth and straight on the inside to
permit the silage to settle without
forming pockets
The majority of silos being built have
a continuous door which makes it very
convenient for emptying the silo. Two
ply boards should be used for the door
with tar paper or heavy building paper
between and on the edges. Doors on
hinges are Objectionable.
The deeper the silo the greater the
pressure and the larger amount Of corn
