Railroads running through Washing
ton and Oregon are seeking to encour-
age the growing of corn in localities;
tributary to them by offering substan-
tial prizes in the shape of cash and ag-
ricultural implements in contests which
are to close with exhibits to be held at
Colfax.. Wash. and Pendleton, Ore. il
December Of the present year The
railroad management has furnished the
seed which was used in the contest,
and many farmers in different sections
Of the state mentioned have Joined In
It. Yields of corn ranging from seven
ty-ive to ninety bushels have been
grown in the Yakima. while yields Of
forty and fifty bushels have been grown
in the Willamette valley and in the
Walla Walla and Touchet valleys
The railroads that are doing this mis-
sioDary work anticipate that in the
course OF few years corn viii be ons'

A noted veterinary authority blames
poor ventilation for greater losses TO
horse owners than all other causes of
disease combined What is true of
horses is doubtless equally true of
blooded cattle and dairy cows that are
usually kept closely confined. 1t seems
strange that domestic animals should
suffer so much from this cause when
fresh air is so cheap and plentiful and
so easily introduced into the quarters
where horses and cattle are housed.
The writer has lately put down some
thirty-five dozen eggs in the water
glass solution. 1t wilF be interesting
to notice how they keep and whether
the prevailing prices for eggs at the
time they are consumed will have
made it worth while to preserve them
In view of the original cost of 16 cents
per dozen. The eggs put down were
gathered daily and were also clean
The solution was made by mixing one
part of water glass in ten parts boiled
water. A ten gallon stone jar was
used as the container.
The discovery of the value of the
much priced bordeaux mixture was by
accident. A Frenchman. the owner of
vineyard near Bordeaux. had been
annoyed by schoolboys stealing his
grapes. so he hit upon the plan of spray
ing his vines with a mixture that
would give them an unsightly color.
He used lime. copper sulphate and wa
ter. and the boys, thinking the grapes
had been doped with poison. let them
alone. Later. when fungous pests at
tackled the grapes. this growers vines
were found to be largely immune.
From this beginning the practice
spread until 1t became general in
France and in other parts of the world.

Grooming Heavy Horses.

Horses left ungroomed and undried
are liable to skin ailments, sore backs,
collar gals and parasitic affections.
Chills and illness also follow in the
wake where animals receive faulty at
tention in this respect Half an hour
twice a day on grooming is time well
spent Many light draft horses have
their bodies clipped. and not few are
clipped all over Clipping enables the
animals to do the work more easily
and facilitates the keeping clean of the
body The profuse sweating seen with
a heavy coat is avoided. and the risk
Of subsequent chill is made less. The
week after clipping is, however, dan
gerous for catching cold. and the con-
siderate horseman always clothes the
animal at such a time when standing
or takes his loin cloth with him.

KEEPING THE MILK
SWEET IN SUMMER

During hot weather many farmers
have trouble with sour milk. This
causes much loss not only to the farm
er who keeps one or more cows for
family use, but especially to the dairy
man who retails his milk or ships 1t to
a dealer in the city. The dealer usual
ly pays only one-half price for sour
milk or refuses to accept it at any
price. thus entailing heavy loss to the
producer,
Sweet milk can be produced and de-
livered in prime condition to the Gus
toner in the hottest summer weather,
writes a Kentucky dairyman in the
New England Homestead | have for
FIVE years shipped milk a distance of
fifty-seven miles. the milk being three
hours on the train. and have not had
a drop of sour milk during that time
These shipments ranged from sixty to
ninety gallons a day. During about
half of this time the milk was shipped
in eight and ten gallon cans, the re
mainder of the time in quart and pint
bottles.
Good sweet milk depends on two
items-cleanliness and cold tempera-
ture. To secure these the following
rules should be observed:
Have the cows udder clean before
milking. A clean damp cloth can be
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1913-09-18

used for this purpose and can be car
ried in the pocket of the mixer. Only
few seconds are required to wipe the
udder off Immediately before begin
ming to milk the COW. In my expert
ence this simple expedient has worked
wonders.
Be careful not to allow hairs, dust
or dirt to fall into the milk. They
are all laden with germs. Germs cause
the milk to sour. The greater the
number of germs the quicker the sour
ing will occur. A pail with small
opening will be very helpful in keep
ing out dust and other dirt
Use the milk pail for no other pur-
pose than for milking. Some dairymen
use it for watering the horses and
stopping the hogs and then wonder
why the milk sours.
Cool the milk Immediately by run
ming it over a milk cooler or by i'm
mersing in cold spring or well water.
The animal heat must be removed be-
fore placing in cans or bottled for de-
livery or shipment. If necessary to
hold the nights milk for shipment un-
til the next morning it should be held
at low temperature. Cold springs or
well water in wooden or metal tank
of proper size to hold shipping cans
may be used for this purpose If run
ming spring water is at hand this will
serve admirably. In some cases the
milk or cream may be lowered into
cistern and kept cool until time for
shipment. If care is exercised milk
can be kept sweet without ice, but a
supply of ice is very desirable.
Another important point-wash all
vessels carefully. Examine frequently
in the angles to see that no accumula-
ton of yellow, Shiny casein material
collects. as this will certainly cause
rapid souring After washing scald
all vessels with boiling water and place
in pure fresh air until ready for use.
If exposed to the sun. so much the bet
ter, as sunlight is the best germ killer
and purifier.

HEN HABITS.

While the hen, like men, may IN
some respects be morally depraved, yet
she is also a creature of habit and is
capable of instruction and what she is
depends much on the human who
makes her young ideas shoot
If she's an egg fiend she gets that
habit because enough nests are not
provided and the egg laid on the floor
rolls around, gets cracked and is eaten
and she wants more. or the nest is
open on top and the eggs are trampled
on and broken, or there is not lime to
make strong eggshells or something
that's in the egg is needed in the ra-
tion to satisfy the needs of her sys-
tenn.
If she's a feather fend, devouring
her own garments and disrobing her
brothers and sisters, there's reason
for it. She may be bughouse and get
the habit while peczing at crawlers, or
gets no meat in the ration. or Is not
kept busy scratching in litter, or she
may get the taste from eating scalded
feathers thrown away by some vast
ing housewife.
If she raises Cain in the neighbor-
hood by tearing up the nelghbors gar
den that habit wasn't born with her
in the egg. There's a hole In the
fence, top rail on the wire or a neigh
bOr's Ill smelling, insanitary garbage
pile or a charming chanticleer leads
her into temptation. If she runs from
her owner as If scared to death and
skyrockets off the nest at his approach,
it's a sign of roughhouse methods and
cussin' in the chicken coop.
A nervous, kicking, balky horse, a
COW that slaps the mllkmaid with her
tail and kicks over the milk bucket,
or dog that chases a team and causes
a runaway and snaps at the passerby,
these do not come by such habits nat
urally, but by training or lack Of train
Ing. So with the hen. You can't
teach a hen to play a bass horn nor
sing a duet with Melba, but by gentle
ness you can make her gentle, and
you can keep her from forming bad
habits by keeping inducements to such
away.

Liszt and His Cigars.

Liszt. the composer, is said to have
abandoned the habit Of smoking as q
result of misunderstanding with the
italian customs authorities. He was
accustomed to smoke but one cigar q
day and on journey to Rome had one
cigar for each day Of his stay in the
Holy City placed in his trunk. On be.
ing asked at the frontier if he had any
tobacco to declare he. absentminded,
shook his head. When the trunk was
examined nearly hundred cigars were
found. These were confiscated and
their owner fined 500 francs. As a re-
suit of this experience Liszt made 9
VOW never to smoke again.

FEATS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Cameras May Vet Succeed In Catch
ing the Speeter Of the Broken.


ing the Specter Of the Broken.
Photographers, professional and
amateur, have expended their skill
and energy in obtaining all sorts of
difficult pictures-running horses,
jumping athletes, flying cannon
balls, flashes of lightning, to say.
nothing of the shifting spectral
lines of revolving double stars. But
the great stumbling block to all
photographers-so assert the scien-
tists-is the airy soap bubble. One
such has said that for long time
it has been his ambition to picture
a soap bubble in the act of break
ing. He has experienced much diff
tculty, however, in attempts Of this
kind. since the time occupied in
the disappearance of a breaking
bubble must be only a small frac-
ton of a second.
Anybody who has watched a bril-
liant soap bubble burst knows how
quickly it vanishes. The authority
quoted thought it may take one
twentieth of second, but by re-
peated experiments he has found
that the time occupied in the dis
appearance Of the iridescent film is
not more than one three-hundredth
of a second.
To catch and photograph one of
these vanishing films between the
instant of its breaking and that of
its complete extinction proves a
most difficult undertaking, but it
has been accomplished.
From printing the image of the
flying edge of a broken bubble in
the three-hundrdth part of a sec
ond to disclosing the existence of
great nebulae in the heavens by
the culminative effect of several
hours of continuous exposure the
modern Photographic plate is per-
forming many wonders in behalf of
science and proving itself one of
the most powerful means at mans
disposal to unlock the secrets of
nature.
1t has been suggested that it is
entirely within the bounds of posi-
bility that the famous specter of
the Brocken may yet have its photo
graph taken and so become familiar
to thousands who have never seen
the mysterious shade itself. 1t is
known that the SO called specter is
simply the shadow of a person
upon the mountain, pro-
jected on the surrounding mist.
Some years ago, it is said, an Of
fetal of the weather bureau at
Washington, while making meteor
observations on the summit
of Mount Washington, used to
amuse himself by causing the spec
ters of night visitors to the observa-
tory to appear in the mist envelop-
ing the peak. For this purpose it
was necessary only SO to place a
light as to cast the shadow of a per-
son on the foggy cloud ahead of
him. Sometimes a gigantic spec
ter was produced with startling dis
Finctness, though never equaling
he phenomenon seen from the
Broken, where the conditions seem
% be peculiarly favorable.
An Englishman reported to the
Royal Meteorological society the re-
'ults of similar experiments made
oy him in the dense London fogs.
He succeeded in raising his own
ipecter by placing a limelight at
he back of his head. Then he
photographed the specter. - Har-

County Court Replies to
Mr.. ChaS. O. Conner.

In the last two issues of The
Gazette-Times, Mr.. Chas. O.
Conner, of Olex, Oregon, pub
fishes the following over his sig
nature
"A Statement. Heppner, Greg
on, Aug. %, 1918. | learned to-
day for the first time that bill
amounting to S132, incurred by
me for hospital services rendered
my wife during her recent illness,
preceding her death, has been pre-
sented to the County court of
Morrow county by DR.. Winnard
and was paid by the court.
In regard to this action of the
court | want the taxpayers of
Morrow county to know two
things.
1st. That | havenot been a
resident of Morrow county for
over three years and am there
fore not entitled to any aid from
the county.
Sec. That have never asked
for county aid and would not
have accepted it had been noti-
fed in regard to the matter.
That DR.. Winnard did not pre-
sent any bill or statement to me
before asking the county for it,
nor did the County court give me
any notification that it had been
asked for. "
This is intended as reflection
upon the County Court of Nor
row county, because the Court
had heretofore allowed a claim
for hospital fees incurred by
reason of the care of Mrs. Con-
ner, a tuberculosis patient, at the
Heppner Sanitorium.
In justification of the Courts
action, and to show that our pro-
ceedings were properin this case,
and only taken after having been
fully advised as to all the circum-
stances, we will state that our
action was fully justified by the
facts.
1t may be true that Mr.. Conner
is a resident of Gillian county;
but he allowed his wife to be
cared for by Heppner people, and
it was necessary that she be
taken to the hospital for proper
and treatment. 1t is
also true that her mother, Mrs. |
Frederick, was not able to meet
all the expense incurred for her
laughter had to be cared for for
several months, and the husband,
Mr.. Chas. O. Conner, made no
effort to see that his wife was
properly supplied with funds for
her expenses and nursing, and
that he was apparently very in
different to her welfare; that |
she was left entirely without |
of support, in dying con-
lition, for the authorities of this
county to look after, and when
al these facts, and more, were
nadeknown to the court, it was
deemed a proper case for their
,are, and the bill was paid.
Mr.. Conner does not deny the
of the bill; neither has
le made any effort to reimburse
he county, which he is privileged
o do at any time.
