records registered the preceding "a

rainfall record it has been found that
10 inches OF very dry, unpacked snow

The above rainfall shows less than
one-half inch of precipitation i'll over
three and onehalf months. In Sep
tember previous to this record there
was probably about one inch of rain
during "a days According to this
record it would strike an average of
little over ? inches per year. Yet this
is not a fair average. and our rainfall
is likely in the neighborhood of 8
inches annually \ a general rule it
takes about lS inches of rain to pro-
duce fair crop. and this precipita-
ton must come during the growing

WILL TEST MILK
FOR The FARMERS
High School Agricultural Department
Will Do This for Farmers.

The Lyon County High School agri-
cultural department hereby gives no
tice that it will test samples OF milk
or cream sent III by farmers or towns
people buying milk at a price sufficient
10 cover the cost OF the acids and
actual running expense OF the appa-
ratus. The following prices are quoted
for those wishing to take advantage
OF this opportunity:
] sample Tor ..........,....#.. ~ cts
3 samples Tor Or........,.....Z5 cts
7 samples for..............50 cts
IS samples for or...........$l0 90
Farmers who want a test should
take a sample OF the morning and
evening milk and before taking the
sample the milk should be thoroughly
stirred to obtain uniform sample
About one gill or onc-fourth OF a pint
should be taken at each milking and
the two samples mixed. placed in an
air-tight receptacle and brought in
the next day for the testing TO get the
percentage OF butter fat
The Babcock test is used and the re
turns will be turned over to the school
treasury This is an opportunity that
should be taken advantage OF by
every farmer An exceptionally good
test runs 8 per cent or better \ good
test SO To 8 per cent. fair test, A.
10 53 per cent and any COW falling
below per cent. unless an unusually
large milker. would better be sent TO
the block.
A good method OF learning the av
erage per cent OF butter lat given by
a COW is to have tests made during the
second. fifth and seventh months. In
each month the morning and evening
milk should be taken for two days and
the sample composited. strained and
kept in an air tight receotaclc until
tested. which should be done as soon
possible
Each individual sample should have
a number and the name OF the person
desiring the test Samples can be left
At the west entrance OF the old Grade
building near the Yerington Times
office.

H. A. Smith Addresses Home Economics Asso
citation of Washington on Best Way of Hold
ing Down Price of Market Basket

Washington husbands, or in fact any
head of a household who contributes to
its support, should exhibit keen interest
in the fact that yesterday afternoon at
the Public Library a gathering OF
nearly 100 economically inclined house
wives of the city devoted more than two
hours to the discussion OF how to spend
the least money for the most food.
1t was at the meeting of the Home
Economics Association OF Washington
that these earnest women debated and
devised plans for reducing the living ex-
pense of the home. The principal one
of the methods discussed to lessen the
high cost of living was that of co-opera-
ton. advanced by Herbert A. Smith,
president of the Civil Service CO-opera-
tive Association. which concern operates
provision store TO the great satisfac-
ton OF its members.
President Smith, who was the principal
speaker at the meeting. explained that
the cooperative provision store was an
ideal way to strike at the root OF the
high cost of living evil"
He explained that by hiring an agent
who would look after the interest of his
employees and would not have the incen-
tive OF making a profit for himself the

District Jail-Fewer Prisoners
This Year.
TUBERCULOSIS WORK EFFECTIVE

Supt Louis F. zinkhan, Of the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital. in his annual
report submitted yesterday to the Dis
trict Commissioners. laid emphasis on the
need of a municipal hospital.
The report shows that the number of
prisoners committed to the Jail during
the last fiscal year was $500. or 100 less
than for the previous year. OF this num-
Der 1850 were transferred from day to
day to the workhouse at Occoquan, max
ing 81 more than were sent there during
1872
Supt. Zinkhan indorses the proposal for
an indeterminate sentence for inebriatcs,
which would be long enough to bring
about a physical restoration, and would
undoubtedly result in retaining numbers
of men and women who are now menace
to themselves.
Mr.. Zinkhan points out that the most
important unit in the hospital Is known
as the psychopathic ward, which cares
for the mental suspects, alcoholics, and
drug fends. Alcoholics and drug fiends,
he states, should not be placed In build
ing used for mentally disturbed patients.
4 feature OF the annual report OF the
tuberculosis Hospital, which the Com
missioners received through the Board Of
Charities yesterday. is the statement
made that an increase was recorded dur
ing the year in the number Of patients in
whom the disease was apparently cured
or arrested.
According to DR.. w. D. Tewksbury.
superintendent, the average length OF
stay for patients has been higher than
ever before.
The report shows that the daily aver

hospital last year was 93.4, the total num-

to the flag of the United States, and

the case of COffman. and Secretary
Garrison yesterday declared that the
exaggerated statements made 1t diff
cult for him to do as he felt just, re-
lease the prisoner on the ground that
there is doubt whether his guilt was
proved.
It has been stated that Coffman was
"railroaded' to prison because he is a
Socialist, and similar exaggerated
statements. which Secretary Garrison
today declared were disproved by the
record in the case.

were trying to locate a man who called
her twice by telephone before she left

A telephone girl remembered having
handled two calls, and the detectives,
aided by all the operators in the ex-

the source of the two calls. They mar
rowed the search down TO a section OF

proceeded by the process of elimination
to focus the investigation to a still
smaller area.

robbery was the sole motive of the man
