are now packing fall fish.

Several reasons are given to ex-
plan the small pack Of fish in this
section. 1t is said that the run was
below expectations and several of
the canneries were not operating at
all, their owners deciding to sus-
pend operations until the heavy run
OF 1913 begins. The strong compe-
tition of Canadian fisheries also
took many fish from the Sound
plants. it is said. The Canadians
placed fish buying vessels at Cape
Flattery this year and overbid Am
erican buyers. In this way large
percentage of the Sound fish was
secured by the Canadian canneries.

How to Combat Buffalo Knat,

In order that the people of the
overdowed areas may prepare
themselves for q possible vista
tion of the buffalo knats which,
in former food years, have caus-
ed the deaths of thousands ol
heads of live stock. Representa-.
tive Ransdall has given out an
extract from q letter written to
him by B. H. Ransom, chief Of
the geological division of the De-
partment of Agriculture, in
which he discusses preventive
measures, as follows:
AS q preventive measure, it
seems that the following are the
most suitable: Smudge fires for
the protection of stock in fields
and pastures. Portable smudges
Of cotton seed rolled in STRIPS Of

Of one . arm; such rolls on being
ignited burn slowly and produce
much smoke. The rolls may be
hung shout the harness Of work

tion Of these rolls may be made

which are then filed with cotton

kEMTw00O CREAMERY
NOW IN OPERATION
Notice TO Farmers e. Others.

We beg to announce that we
now haye our Modern Creamery
in operation and solicit you to
ship US your cream.
The time has come when the
farmers are to take advantage of
our fine stock raising country.
Most of our farmers still doing
as our forefathers did-starving
their calves by giving them only
a fourth of the milk and some
times not that much, conse.
quently, when the winter comes
they are only fit for the buzzards
and scarcely that. Take again
the pigs born in the spring-the
mothers have nothing to feed on
except grass which is very poor
feed and the consequences are
that when fall comes the pigs
are nothing but "runts.
Now with a Creamery close at
hand and you the possessor of
a Separator all this can be chang
ed, You can raise your calves
on skinned milk and then by win.
ter they are twice the size of
other calves raised in the old way.
Then with a little feed through
the three hard months of winter
you have good stears for sale to
the butchers by the next fall. |
Then by giving your skinned
milk to your pigs you will have
good fat shoats by October.
Then turn them into your potato
or pea fields and by January you |
will have good meat hogs.
If you or your nelghbor have
no Separator, write US or come
and see US about it for we can
help YOU to get one.

Selling Drinking

The worst way to sell liquor,
to buy it or drink it, is at the
open, well-regulated. saloon. The
next worst way to buy, or sell or
drink liquor, is at the blind
tiger. The next worst way is at
the dispensary. The next worst
to the dispensary is the little
dispensed at home where the
liquors are bought from far away
dealers and dispensed by the
owner to his friends. There is
no good way to buy it, sell it OF
use it. The choice is between
the worst ways, for the com
munity and the individual. An
evil.has no good side.

CITIES HARD IL ALL.

It is a difficult thing to a kill a
city, and there are some well
known places that have so much
vitality that they will survive
any number of disasters.
Take Rome as a first example.
No fewer than ten times has she
been swept by pestilence. She
has been burned twice ana
starved out on six occasions
Seven times she has been besleg'
ed or bombarded. But she still
flourishes. Perhaps that is why
she is called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sieges, ter
famines, two plaques and one
fire which devastated it. we
make no reference to the number
of revolutions, as they are toe
numerous to mention. But Paris
still f1ourishes.
Constantinople has been burn
ed out nine times and has suffer
ed from four plaques aud hve
sieges. There are some people
who think that many OF the
sultans have been as bad tor the
city as any pestilence. And ye'
she goes on.
Lastly there is the English
metropolist London began as d
kind of mound in a swamp. In
her early history she was
sacked, burned aud all her In
habitants butchered. She has
been decimated by plague five
times, exclusive Of typhus'
cholera and such maladies. She
has been more or less burned
several times. She is thriy1ug
in spite of all.
