TO ripen, especially after pasteurizing
without starter. His cream was four
days old and the criticism noted on the
butter made under these conditions was
that it possessed fishy flavor. The
ripening process is an important part
OF the creamery work, and the degree
OF skill which an operator uses, deter
mines to no small extent, the quality
OF the finished product.
Various creameries have adopted the
system OF grading cream, but in some
cases the distinction between grades is
not sufficiently Defined and the require
ments for first grade are possibly not
so strict as they might be. Where high
est grade cream is classified according
to acidity, temperature, or fat content,
mistake is made if flavor is not also
considered. Through proper cooling a
poor grade of cream might still stay
within the acidity limit, though the
flavor would be badly off. Flavor is
too important to be overlooked. It
should be considered a prime factor in
all grading systems.
The next scoring will be held in June
and due notice Of the exact date viii
be given later.

Row Woorman Saws Thjnus

Mr.. Roy Norman Of the Roy Moor
man Co., in a recent interview passed
out some very trite remarks on the
subject Of automobile tires.
Automobile tires are much like the
thick-skinned Florida oranges, they
may all look alike, but you can never
tell what is under the skin.
Two oranges may be identical in ap-
pearance hut one may be sweet, the
other sour, one juicy, the other pulpy
-theonly proof Of their respective
merits is in The eating.
So it is with pneumatic tire-two
tires may look alike-their treads may
be white and fine appearing but that
is all you can tell about them from an
outward examination.
The only proof of tires merit is IN
the runninng-and the only way to es-
innate value is by the mileage secured.
No man however expert can tell
by an outward examination, whether q
tire is good or bad. He may be able
TO tell you whether the tread is of good
stock-but there he must stop-he
knows not what is beneath it-any
tread will cover multitude Of inner
defects.
There is only one way TO buy tire,
that is on the basis that the best IS
always the cheapest and that it's better
to be safe than sorry.
Mr.. Moorman is naturally boostin5
Miller tires but regardless of this there
is also much sound tire logic in his
remarks.-Adv

Tuber Moth infests California

WASHINGTON, May For several
years the potatoe tuber moth, known
scientifically as as phthorimaea oper-
culelllazeI. has been the worst potato
pest in California. During the past two
years it has reached the State Of
Washington and menaces adjacent
States. The United States Department
of Agriculture has received complaints
and specimens Of the insect sufficient
to indicate its occurrence in two coun-
ties in Texas, in San Jase, Costa Rica,
in three counties in Washington State
in Colorado, in North Dakota, and some
specimens have been detected in New
York city. Abroad it is known in Ha
waii. Australia, New England, Algeria
and other countries in Northern Africa,
besides On the continent of Europe. Re-
Gently il has been received from China.
An expert Of the Bureau Of Entomology
has estimated in the fall Of 1912 a loss
Of two growers near Ell Monte, CAL, Of
100000 and $4,000 respectively. on
potatoes that year.

Legislatures Last Week

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOClATIONS1
SACRAMENTO, May 5.-The for

every big measure programmed remains
to be passed. Only the anti-alien and

almost dozen measures advocated by

within TWO WEEKS HARVEST
WILL Be IN FULL PROGRESS

Once more the grain cycle is COM
pleted, and the barley crop is prac
tically ready for harvest. Within two
weeks every machine will be engaged
and comparatively short work will be
made OF the big annual task.
AS has been noted, this year the cut
in the valley will be smaller than in
previous years, on account Of the aphis
dong bad work with the late crop. But
still there will be great deal of grain
cut, and all the combined harvesters
will be busy.
The number Of these great machines
has increased each year, and the ten
dency has been to replace the thirty
two horses used in propelling them
with traction engines, and these will
be in quite general use in the valley
this year.
Generally speaking the largest grain
areas are in the newer sections of the
valley, the tendency being to get the
ground into higher order Of productive
ness than is afforded by the barley

CITY PAVING HELD UP
BY FILING ON SAND PIT

The work of paving the streets Of
Ell Centre has been temporarily stop
ped by the fact that some person has
filed a mineral claim on the pit where
the sand was being taken and has de-
manded payment for right to remove
the sand.
The unexpected interruption to the
supply Of material has led the contract
ing firm to take steps to bring sand
from near Los Angeles for the work,
which will require few days longer.
1t is peculiar. circumstance that
makes it necessary to go so great dis
tance for sand, but it is evident the
company does not propose to let this
obstacle interrupt proceedings for long.
The rock that is being used comes
from near Riverside, and the cement
comes from the same locality which
puts the base Of supplies for very raw
materials a long distance from the
place Of utility.
The work of laying the five-inch ce-
ment foundation for pavement was to-
day completed from Fifth TO Sixth
street on Broadway. and the work will
now turn south on Sixth street to
the property line on Main, and skip
ping that crossing, will begin on the
south property line Of Sixth and con-
tinue to State, thence to Fifth and
back to the place Of beginning on
Broadway and Sixth. skipping the Main
street crossing again.
1t has not yet been decided where
the work on Main street will begin
lbut probably at the canal, working
eastward through the heart Of town.
The work Of laying the two inch BIZ
tumen and rock surface will begin in
about a week on Broadway, time being
required for the cement to thoroughly
harden.
AS the company has been breaking in
new men for the work, it has not pro-
gressed so rapidly as was expected
| but it is believed from this time on bet
ter headway will be made, and in two
weeks the big square should be COW
cred and the force be ready TO begin on
Main street. where there is about a
months work laying the foundation.
Present indications are that the con-
tract will be finished by about the first
| OF July.

TRYING new MACHINERY
ON THE VALLEY CROPS

The International Harvester Company
IN cooperation with Edgar Brothers
Company. have sent a force Of men
here to try out a new harvester ma
chine which may prove of great value
TO grain farmers
This is not the first time this COM
pany has taken advantage of the fact
that the earliest grain crop i'm the
country is grown in this valley to do
experimental work with new machin-
cry.
The machine which the company is
now working with is a small combine
harvester, working on new principle,
which is expected to be adopted by
the individual use Of the small farmer.
During late years the tendency has
been toward the great combined har-
vesters, drawn by traction engine or
by thirty-two horses. This class OF ma
chimes goes about the country harvest
ing the crops Of many farmers, but it
is now proposed to make a machine
which the individual farmer will own
and operate with his own horses or
with a small tractor.
Several years ago small combine
harvester designed in Australia was
tried out here, but it did not prove q
success. Experts believe the problem
has now been solved in the machine
which is now on the ground.

Training Athletes
IBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS


RHEIMS, France, May 5.-The Col
Iege Of Athletes, the first institution of
lis kind in the world, was opened here
today in the presence Of President
cials OF the French government. And
with its opening began stupendous
effort on the part Of France to wresl
her share Of honors from the picked
athletes of all nations who will be
represented at the Berlin Olympiad in
1916.
The avowed object of the college of
athletes, supported as it is by govern
ment funds, is ito prepare for revenge
for Stockholm" where the French col
ors trailed very near the bottom. The
colleges coaches admit that they do
not expect to defeat the American team
since America in athletic matters is in
class by itself. However, with the
system which was put into practice to-
day, and with the assistance of an
American mead coach, France does hope
to top the list of European teams.
1.-The college is located just outside
this city in Pomery park and besides a
duplicate Of the cinder path at Stock
holm, there is an enormous space for
| field events. There is everything in
the way Of training apparatus, while
there is a library building with class
rooms and lecture halls on one floor
dormitories for the accommodation OF
| hundreds Of students; a dining hall
where all tables are training tables, y
and a bath house with q swimming
| tank so by 130 feet, plus all the other
adjuncts of a swimming establishment
In every detail it is claimed that the
college is the most up to date and
perfect establishment for athletes in
the world.
Ostensibly the college is supported
| by public endowment, but among the
students will be the pick Of the army
and navy athletes whose tuition the
government will pay. Instructors from
| the physical culture departments OF
the public schools will be trained at
the expense of the government, while
| another group of instructors. for SIM
| liar work in the army and navy, will
| lake courses at the college. In addi-
| ton to all this the government has
loaned Naval Lieutenant Georges
Hebert to the college for three years
until 1916, this officer being the ath-
letc head of the institution. He was
formerly head Of the governments
| training schools at Cherbourg and
Brest, and is the creator of new
system Of physical culture which is
said to have worked wonders with the
naval recruits.
1t is said that the $4,000 given by
the French government to send
Frances athletes to Stockholm will be
exceeded many times over during the
preparations for the next Olympiad
The flower Of the army and navy will
be sent here for training, it having
been arranged so they will have little to
do other than to follow the athletic
| courses
