Butter From Birds.

A century ago butter birds were
MIXED to beat the band by the natives
Of the northern part of South America.
In midsummer the Indians went into
the great caverns where these strange
birds had builded, and with long poles
the nests were broken and destroyed,
something like the way the Yankee
boys in barns used to break up the
homes Of mud daubers and barn swal-
lows. Butter birds builded nests in
the tops of the caverns in inches and
holes worn ages ago by water. A poke
or two with pole and the nest of gray
clay looking like big cheese came
falling down, the young birds scatter
ing on the floor Of the cavern. The
great Jumps of fat between legs and
under the tail of the nestlings were
torn from them and piled into earthen
pots and melted down into bird butter.
The butter bird Is about as large as a
chicken and so sweet Is the bird butter
that 1t keeps a year or so without turn
Ing rancid. 1t is oily. clear and with
out smell.-New York Press.

people coming over from Canada, in
order to simplify the matter of their

come over on horseback, ferry boats,

Trouble at Springdale

A petition is being circulated asking
the commissioners of Stevens county to
call special grand jury for Investigate
Ing Springdale's municipal matters.
This action is the outcome of a fight
which has been going on there for three
months for control of the council, the
question of a wet or dry town hanging
upon the outcome. At the last meeting
of the Springdale town council an ordi-
nance was passed and has since been
published, rendering it effective as a
law, licensing saloons for the coming
year, and it is understood that at least
three applications for retail liquor Ii
censes will be presented to the council.
The saloons in Springdale have been
closed since the middle of last Novem-
Der, at which time the council revoked
the licenses of the three saloons. The
license fee then in effect was $3.50 a
year, but the new license ordinance,
which has just been passed, provides
for a fee of but $500 year. There
have been two city councils, two mar
shals and two complete city organiza-
tons for some weeks, all within the
confines of one town, formerly peace
able and in apparent good sense. Local
option has divided the town, and now
all is discord, with the outcome most
problematic. -Colville Examiner.

University Offers Aid to Alfalfa Growers

The University of Washington de-
partment of botany announces that it is
ready to send to all farmers of the state
pure cultures of nitrogen-fxing bacteria
for the incubation of alfalfa seed. This
work has been done by the government
at Washington recently, but few, it
any, state institutions have hitherto un-
dertaken such task.
Some soils, even though well cared
for, will not produce good crops of al
falfa. On examination it is usually
found that alfalfa on such soil does not
produce the characteristic tubercles on
it's roots. Every farmer knows that
clovers, including alfalfa, have, under
ordinary conditions, associated with their
roots tubercles, which contain bacteria.
These minute organisms in the tuber-
cles have the power of Transforming the
free nitrogen of the air into nltrates
which the plants use as food. In order
that alfalfa may reach it's best develop
ment the soil must be inoculated with
this organism.
By archaeological methods the bac-
terra have been separated from the
nodules and grown on entmaterial,
absolutely free from all other organ
isms. The use of these pure cultures
forms another method of incubation of
the soil for alfalfa. In each prepared
package there is sufficient growth of
the organism to inoculate about three
bushels of seed. After incubation the
seed is sowed in the usual way and is
narrowed Immediately. It is important
to have the seeds covered as soon as
possible, as the direct sunlight kills the
bacteria. The material in the pure cul-
ture may also be mixed with quantity
of soil and the inoculated soil sowed
broadcast over the field.
There are many advantages in the
use of the culture method of inocula-
ton. 1t is easily handled, less expen-
sive and easily obtained. The depart
ment of botany of the University of
Washington is prepared to send to all
farmers of the state pure cultures of
this nitrogen-fxing bacteria for the in
oculation of alfalfa seed. A charge of
rs cents is made toscover the cost of the
mailing cover, postage, etc. Each pack
age contains directions for use and suf
fcient material to inoculate three BUSH
els of seed. Farmers desiring these
cultures should apply to the Department
of Botany, University of Washington,
Seattle.

USING THE DRAG.


cooperative effort is needed to secure
the larger benefits accruing to an en-
tire community. township or county.
With the determined purpose Of Sc
curing better roads for East Lampeter
township Dr. Donald McCaskey began
his fight for the King road drag in
Lancaster county, Pa. This was back
IN 1909. when DR.. McCaskey was new
conner in East Lampeter. His vocation
was the practice of medicine. his avoca-
ton "doctoring'' the roads. His coun-
try practice took him over practically
all the roads of the township. He was
obliged to travel on them at all seasons
Of the year. Frequently he got stuck
in the mud, meeting with serious trou-
BILE in making his professional calls.
He was never certain about reaching
his destination and often was prevent
ed from arriving in time to be Of great
est service to his patients. The fire.
Quency Of such occurrences turned his
attention to the seriousness of the road
question. He realized the usefulness
and possibilities of the King road drag.
and he began experimenting with it.
Application on one Of the worst roads
in the county at once proved it's practi-
cal efficiency.
The good roads doctor now began
systematic campaign for better roads.
He became a candidate for the Office
of township road supervisor. He didn't
care about the Office, but he did want
good roads. The campaign that fol-
lowed was red hot from start to finish.
But when the votes were counted he
had won his second victory for better
roads.

A LESSON IN
GOOD ROADS.
What Constant Work Did For a
Pennsylvania Town.
THE DRAG WAS A BIG FACTOR
Dr.. McCaskey Obtained Election to
Poad Supervisor and by Determined
Effort Succeeded In RemakIne East
Lampeter Township.

No longer considered an experiment,
the King road drag is revolutionizing
road conditions in many communities,
says d writer in the Farmers Review.
1t is doing this wherever it is used.
The one important thing Is getting it
on the road at the right time and often
enough.
But the road drag will not work
itself. There must be a man behind it.
Public sentiment must be in favor Of
improvement. and there must be con-
certed movement toward that end. In
dividual and independent use Of the
road drag will give good results and
help considerably in patches" But
