With the arrival this morning OF
the couplers for street piping for the
Valley City Gas company's mains, con-
struction work will commence at once,
and it is expected that large part
of 1t will be completed within 10 days.
Mr.. Ployhar, manager OF the COM
pany, states that it had been hoped
to begin digging the mains last week,
but bad weather, and the non-arrival
of the couplers prevented. From now
on the work will be pushed along
every line, and it Is practically GER
tain that the work will be completed
by the time snow Mies. ...,
The first digging will begin at the
corner of Berg and Benson's store on
Main street, and go north to the gas
plants building. When this is finish
ed the mains will be dug east and
west on Main street, to first and fifth
avenues. From Fifth avenue and

SPREADING GLOOM

On account of the protracted rainy
period reports are current that grain
is sprouting in the shock" the mag
nifcent crop yet in the fields Is lost,
and many would have it that calam-
ity and gloom are stalking arm in
arm about the state spreading dis
couragement and discomfort.
There never was q time within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant that
a shower at threshing time was not
followed by reports Of grain sprout-
ing in the shock" There is also
rust" and blight" in the wheat just
before harvest and spring never
comes around but that the fruit is
"killed" by frost. All crops must
pass through season Of gloomy re-
ports, but somehow they usually
worry through easier than the tale
bearers of calamity.
The present rainy weather is no oc-
casion for hysteria. The few heads
of grain that lie on the ground may
be damaged but the weather has been
entirely too cool for the top OF the
shocks to become waving green wheat
fields before the threshers reach
them. There may be q slight loss
incurred on account of the easy shell
ling of the grain but when it is
threshed and the bushels are count
ed and the balance sheet is compared
with other years, the farmers will
find they are still ahead OF the game
and the country has not gone to
smash.
OF course, no one can forecast the
future, there may be serious damage,
but it is just as we'll to wait until the
blow has fallen, if it is to fall. And
it would be just as we'll to examine
the fields and ascertain the amount
of grain that has weathered the
storms, as hunt up a few watersoak.
ed heads on the ground for a blue
paint brush.
Then, there are the good features
of the rain. More grain will be stack
ed next year and placed beyond liza
bility to be damaged should there be
a rainy fall. The best experience is
gained by hard knocks and what has
been considered impracticable in the
great fields of North Dakota in time
past may be disproven next year by
conical towers of wealth, the product
of "safe and sane" stacking.
Don't be gloomy. It's too early in
the season.

Interesting Farmers
In Dairy Industry
:. A. GREENWOOD GIVES FEW
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO
INSURE GOOD MILK

e. A. Greenwood, assistant state
dairy commissioner, has been very
busy since his transfer from Bis
marck to Valley City, interesting far
mers in the dairy industry as an i'm
portant part of his official duties.
The primary object of dairy being to
produce good milk and cream Mr..
Greenwood has been explaining the
elementary ESSENTIALS of successful
dairying. 4 !
There are six important details
concerning the proper care of the
milk and the barn. IL strictly ad-
hered to, will assure good wholesome
milk and cream" said Mr.. Greenwood.
They are SO simple that any far
mer can just as we'll follow them as
not. They are:
First remove the milk from the
stable and strain Immediately Cool
by placing in cold water and stir until
animal heat is removed.
Second, clipping flanks and udder
will help keep COWS clean, and also
the milk. A damp sponge used on I'D
der before milking will greatly elm
mate the dirt contents found in milk.
Third, where separator is used sep
arate as quickly as possible after
milk is drawn, and cool cream of ami
NAL heat at once.
Fourth, the dairy farm should be
we'll lighted. we'll ventilated and well
drained.
Fifth, the separator shopld be
cleaned on each occasion Immediately
after using.
..Sixth, keep milk and cream
away from any vegetables or any
thing else that gives of odors, and in
a dark place.
THESE are all very simple details
but If they are followed the former
will learn that his milk and cream are
greatly improved
