Fred. ]. Fine, who had state busi-

Mr. FINE was too anxious to remain

Geo. NJ. Milbury, a resident of

Mr. Milbury has been In Oroville for
years, and he had a surprise coming
at the growth of the place.
The numerous breaks in the wooden
service mains about the east part of
town are a greater drain on the res
ervoir than the daily water consump-
ton by rate payers. Through this
cause the pipes have been empty on
two or three occasions during the
week, and it has been the kind of
weather when water is missed.
The population has been having a
taste of hades without taking the
downward route to that dread haven
OF unrest for the wicked, this week.
The scorching weather is felt more
severely owing to the long cool spring
that extended we'll into the summer
months. Thermometers have been
registering close up tc the century
mark day after day. OF course It is
the kind Of weather that the country
needs to ripen grain and put the Okla
hogan blush upon fruit Although It
Is extremely uncomfortable for the
human family in the natural order of
things 1t cannot last long, and a few
months hence We will be signing for
the good old summer days that we
wanted to trade of in July for a touch
of winter.

MUSIC FOR MILK COWS.

A farm matron that the writer read of
the other day is taking plano lessons at
sixty years OF age, II being her purpose
to install one OF these instruments in
her dairy barn. Years ago she noticed
when playing on an old organ that the
cows in the nearby pasture would
leave their feeding and come to the
fence to listen 10 the music. and she
holds 1t to be fact that on days when
they did this they gave more milk and
richer milk than they did on other days.
Here is an opportunity for the young
people In the farm home to turn what
is often very disagreeable and irk-
some duty to a practical account. How
ever. we are disposed TO break i'm on
the pastoral simplicity OF this picture
by observing that the practicing would
have to be OF a different stripe from
some that is now and then heard veI-
ing the air or the cows would dry up

SIGNS ON BUILDINGS.
Names Of Streets and Hydrant Guides
Effectively Placed.

Fire hydrants. especially in promi-
nent streets. il not placed against the
building wall, should be sunk below
the surface, not only for the sake OF
the appearance Of the street, but to
obyiate the danger OF freezing In win
ter. Covers for such hydrants should
be flush with the sidewalk and proper
ly marked Objection may be made
that in case OF fire such hydrants
would be difficult to find. but this Is
overcome by signs placed on the build
ings directly over the hydrant in the
form OF red III" and by other signs
intermediate. with arrows pointing
both ways. stating the distance to the
fire hydrants In either direction.
The names of streets should prefer
ably be placed on the corners Of build.
ings. and each Of the four corners
should have the names OF both streets
This is cheaper and more effective
method than the placing of signs on
posts. which obstruct the sidewalk,
and which. owing TO the expense. are
usually only placed on two OF the
corners dlagonally. The post method
is. however. at times necessity.

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

Most every farmer who has raised
and sold horses that We're satisfactory
for either speed or draft purposes has
believed that there was good money
I'm the horse raising business. The
basis for this belief has been verified
in statement which has been pub
lished within fortnight by the fed
eral department of agriculture. On
the strength OF reports from 10000
horse breeders In every part Of the
country the department Investigators
state that there is profit OF approx
mately 40 per cent over and above the
cost Of raising horses at the time they
reach three years of age. 1t was found
that bringing colt to three years costs
on the average S96.54, while the sell
ing price of the average three-year-old
is S13817 1t costs more to raise a
three-year-old In Rhode Island, where
the average selling price is $l5660
than In any other state, while a horse
can be raised most cheaply in New
Mexico, where an average animal can
be bought for $69.50

WHERE THE TRUTH LES.

There met in Chicago on April 8 q
national conference lasting three days
and attended and participated in By
producers of farm, orchard and garden
different parts of the country. The
purpose of the gathering was to dig
euss methods of correcting the highly
unsatisfactory condition which con
fronts the grower in the marketing OF
various kinds of produce; also some
feasible system of farm credits where,
by farmers may secure money on more
favorable terms than at present. The
discussions on the marketing business
brought out some most interesting as
well as highly significant facts and
truths. Among these were: That the
middleman receives all the way from
rs to 100 per cent of the price for the
farmers products; that the Texas on
ion raiser, without cooperation, gets
but Is cents out Of every dollar which
the consumer has to fork over for his
product, the railroads and middlemen
appropriating the remaining 81 per
cent; that the Danish farmer, through
cooperative marketing societies, gets
81 cents out Of every dollar which the
consumer pays for several of his prod
ucts. AS showing the rank injustice
which American farmers and truckers
have to put up with, instances were
given of the Laredo CTex) grower who
gets 2 cents q pound for his Bermuda
onions, while the consumer in nearby
towns has to pay Is cents pound for
these same onions the next morning;
of the Wisconsin cabbage grower who
got $S3 a ton for his cabbages at Fall
River when these same cabbages cost
the consumer in Chicago at the rate Of
$500 per ton; Of the Waupaca (Wis)
potato grower who got 30 cents
bushel for his crop (. o. b. shipping
point when these same murphies cost
the consumer in Milwaukee So cents
per bushel These were some Of the
many instances cited where the pro-
Queer and consumer together got the
raw end of the deal.
Remedies suggested in the confer
ence looking TO a correction of these
conditions consisted of cooperative or
ganization for marketing purposes. CO.
operation on the part Of consumers and
cooperation OF distributing agencies
with both consumer and producer. Thir
ty-seven different cooperative socie-
ties representing nearly as many states
had delegates at the conference, and,
through these, influences are to be
brought to bear which will result In
some federal laws tending to improve
marketing conditions.

A NEW ENGLISH INVENTION.

With view to minimizing the dan
gers of street traffic and putting a
check on drivers of motor vehicles
guilty OF exceeding the speed limit,
Mr. Thomas Farrow OF London has in
vented an ingenious instrument which
he calls the Barometer The invention
is very simple. 1t is placed on the
front of the car and bears the inscrip-
ton. ten. twelve or twenty miles per
hour, as the case may be. The figures
can be altered in one way only-by the
motorist exceeding the proper speed.
The moment he does so the figures
change. and should the speed exceed
the prescribed limit gong is automat-
ically rung and continues ringing until
.he speed is checked, or. II II still In
creases. the figures give way 10 a red
1r danger signal

When Buttons Were Big.

Bachaumont writes in his Secret
Memoirs Nov. Is, 1886: "The mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size. some of them as big as six pound
crowns. but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and this orna-
,mentation is extremely costly. Some of
them represent the medals. of the
twelve Caesars. others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses OF
Ovid"
Isabey. in his biographical notes,
says that when he came to Paris he
worked for living by making copies
of Vanloos and Bouchers on the lids of
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from G to 8 francs
each. "As 1t was still the fashion," he
said, "to wear buttons as big as five
franc piece, upon which Cupids. flow
ers and landscapes were cut in cameo,
I went into that business. l got IL
sous for each"

ONE CAUSE OF BEEF SHORTAGE

According to the year book Of stock
statistics published by one OF the big
Chicago packing companies, 100000
calves weighing on the average seven
~ pounds apiece were slaughtered
during the year 1911 to supply the de
mand of the country for veal. Some
one has figured out that II these same
calves, instead OF being killed when
they were, had been allowed TO grow
to the age OF a year and reach an aver
age weight OF 600 pounds their total
weight would have been 4.S00, 100000
pounds instead of 560,000,O00, sufficient
to provide one-fifth of the population
Of the country with beef for the period
OF year And It is fair to assume II
these same calves had been allowed TO
grow to two years and weigh 1900
pounds they would have furnished suf-
tlcient beef to feed 100000 people
for a year Finally. sorry feature OF
the killing Of all these calves was that
their meat was far from being as
wholesome or nutritious as beef.
