THE PIANO CONTEST.

The contest for the piano prizes is
now fairly launched, interest is grow
ing in the result and with the casting
of ballots the number of candidates
in the race is increasing. 1t prom
ises to be very pretty run, with a
close and exciting finish. There is
chance for any of the candidates to
win out. These three instruments to
be given away, one in the territory
west of the Okanogan river, one in the
territory east of the Okanogan and one
in Oroville proper and the country be-
tween the rivers, are first-class, high
standard, handsome pianos, and would
be very acceptable additions to any
home. There is no fake about the
contest. 1t is legitimate PROPOSE
ton, and the goods are on exhibition
for inspection. They will be given
away according to the rules govern
ing the contest. The firms interested
in the distribution would be parties to
no question able methods, and will
be fair, just and unprejudiced In carry
ing out this contest. No favoritism
will be shown. Every candidate will
have an equal chance. The result is
altogether in the hands of the candi-
dates themselves. The prizes are not
to cost them dollar, but they will
have to spend little time soliciting
votes among friends. Candidates
should not forget that besides the
chief prizes there are a large number
of other very valuable and desirable
premiums to be distributed among
the contestants that in themselves
would be we'll worth working for If
the pianos were eliminated. There
are useful and ornamental articles of
the very best manufacture that will
be delight to those so fortunate as
to be the lucky winners. There are so
many of them for distribution that
hardly candidate can fail to secure
something of value to repay them for
the slight amount Of work they may
do while in the game. These prizes
are on exhibition at the Samson drug
store and Bartell & Co.'S store. The
pianos are on exhibition also, and
everybody is invited to examine them.
They certainly are beauties.
Votes are taken at Bartell & Co.'s
store the drug store and the Gazette
office. Any one is entitled to name a
candidate. The rules of the contest
can be learned by applying at any Of
the places mentioned. If you have a
young friend whom you wish to enler
the contest do not hesitate to enter
her name. A list of the names will
be kept at the voting places, and any
one casting ballots can name his, or
her, preference.
Get into the game as soon as pos
sible, as the first distribution of the
prizes takes place Thanksgiving day.

farm NINE" 1t is the best feed for

farm mine." 1t is the best feed for
making milk; to raise pigs, calves,
poultry and sheep. Alfalfa puts nitro
gen into the soil, which is one of the
necessary fertilizers needed to grow
all crops. F. w. Culbertson, of Mol
son, won the cash prize from the
Twice-a-Week Spokesman Review
some time ago on growing alfalfa.
His article was as follows:
Alfalfa will not grow on wet, or
sour, soil, Drain the soil four feet
deep. Put lime and manure on the
land The soil must be free from
weeds, well titled and have an abun-
dance of plant food available. Deep
summer fallow, or fall plowing, is the
best. When weed life starts disc the
ground. Harrow it after every rain
to preserve the moisture and keep
the weeds down. Poison the ground
squirrels and gophers. Test the seed
and beware of nongermanating, low
vitality seed, and doder and weed
seeds. Get dry farming seed if for
dry farming, and northern grown seed
for cold climate Sow when danger
OF frost is past. Sow with a drill, or
seeder, ten to twenty pounds per acre
of good seed, one to two inches deep.
Seed alone. A nurse crop takes the
moisture from the soil so this plant
Will not do well. Sow about 200
pounds of soil from an alfalfa field
to inoculate the soil with nitrogen
bacteria. Cut twice the first season
to keep down the weeds, to aid the
root development, and the first clipp-
ing for a mulch for it. Don't pasture
1t the first season, or the stock will
tramp down and kill the crown and
may kill the plant. Cut when one
tenth is in bloom. Rake when the
leaves are wilted. Cock it when the
stems are half dry. Stack, or put it in
the barn, when twisted hay emits no
moisture"

great deal of interest, as the findings
will be matter of much importance

the bride, it appearing as Miss Snider
and Miss Taylor in the same issue of
the local paper. The lady's name is
Taylor, but she was taken to raise
when an infant by Mr.. Snider's mother
and Mr.. Snider has always looked up
on her and addressed her as sister.

MACARoNI OF GREAT VALUE
Modern Cooks Would Do Well to Avail
Themselves Of the Advantages Of
This Eighty Nutritious Dish.

Macaroni is one of the foodstuffs of
which theaverage cook does not avail
herself nearly so much as she might
do to advantage. It may be served as
savory or as a sweet, farinaceous
dish, and it possesses the advantage
Of containing sufficient nutriment to
qualify it to take the place of a meat
dish when desirable In this latter
case it should be noted that, while
macaroni is well supplied with nitro
genous and starchy elements, it is
lacking in fat, and 1t is consequently
well to enhance its value by the adj
dition of butter, cream, cheese or a
little good stock, of gravy. Macaroni
should always be plunged into plenty
of boiling water to which there has
been added a. little salt Continue
the boiling for from 80 to 40 minutes.
or until the macaroni is tender, when
the tubes should have become double
their original size. Drain the maca-
roni and plunge it into cold water for
a moment, to prevent breaking and CO
hesion, and 1t is then ready to be
dressed for the table. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that macaroni does not enter
more largely into the dietary of the
working classes of America, not less
because of it's cheapness and the ease
with which it may be prepared than
because of its nourishing qualities.

Fiber Cutter for Steaks.

Meat, as everyone knows, has its
tough fbers and sinews, some of them
quite thick. By the use of the fiber
cutter these fibers and sinews are
cut thoroughly into bits at the same
time making the meat porous The
juices circulating through these pores
make the meat perfectly tender, allow
ing it to cook quickly and with fine
flavor This applies to porterhouse
and loin steaks with their finer fibers,
as well as to the cheapest round
steaks with their heavier coarser
fbers. Steaks treated in this way re-
main fiat while cooking and do not
curl.
