Opening of Oyster Season.

September 1 marks the opening Of the
oyster season as well as the season for
marsh birds, although it is possible to
get oysters at all times. Owners Of oys-
ter boats will soon give up the water
melon trade in order to get their craft in
condition for the winter trade in BIZ
valves, and shuckers will soon be in
evidence about the 11th street wharf.
There has been q decided change IN
conditions about the oyster wharf,, said
one of the older dealers yesterday. and
the change was brought about by Col.
Haskell when he was sealer of weights
and measures.
Now that Col. Haskell is dead" he
added, Il suppose his successor will con-
tinue the good work."
The oysters that are being brought to
this city are painted stock. it is stated:

oysters from the natural rocks until the

SCIENTIFIC DAIRYING.
Records of Benson COw-Testing As
sociatiCn Show Big Income
Figures.

Cedar Falls, March 16.-There is
good profit in dairy farming as car
ried on by the Benson Cow Testing
Association, an organization of farm
ers a few miles west of Cedar Falls.
BY weighing and testing the milk
production of each individual COW
and culling out the poorer ones in
their herds, these farmers are reap
ing golden harvest compared to
their profits of few years ago be-
fore they adopted scientific methods
of feeding and grading stock
The production records of the ten
best cows in the association have
just ben compiled and they show a
gross income per COW of from $177-
80 to S221.00 at the average mar
ket price of butter, the individual
butter production per cow per year
being from 449 pounds to 1877
pounds.
These farmers have received an
average of 80 cents pound for this
butter.
Ten COWS like the ones whose
yearly records follow would make
any family a nice living and give
them snug bank account.

Setting the Hen.


Have you ever slept with load
of covers over you, and still been
cold? And have you discovered
that the reason you were cold was
because the cold came from under
the mattress-that there was too lit
tie under instead of not enough over
you? Protection from the cold from
beneath is as important as shelter
from the cold from above, and this
should be remembered in setting the
early broody hen. Don't give her an
elevated nest with straw in it, and
feel that the conditions for good
hatch have been complied with The
hen will give the heat from above,
but she can't, to save herself, get a
good hatch from fertile eggs if the
under side of the egg is subjected to
cold drafts. 1t is better to put her
nest in a sheltered place on the
floor, see to it that there are no
cracks and knotholes from which
the cold air comes whistling through
the nest. A winter nest for setting
hens should have first several thick
nesses of newspaper, or heavy wrap
ping paper, on the floor and around
the sides then sifted ashes; over
that more paper; and if possible a
shovel-full of earth; then a we'll
packed nest of chaff, followed out to
make a nest for the eggs, but with
sides well rounded up, that the eggs
may be protected from slipping over
the edge and chilling. 1t is better
to take the hen off at night for feed
ing. She will remain off shorter
time at her natural roosting time
than in the morning, and the eggs
require much less cooling in cold
than in warm weather. Wallaces

PRETTY DETAILS OF
 THE VALLEY WEDDING

In the report of the wedding of Tuesday evening, the little ring bear CTS and two of the little flower girls were unintentionally omitted Little Miss Ellen Keeling, a pupil of Miss Tomlinson in the Yuma grammar school, was the beautiful little ring bearer. The two little Misses Jacobs, members of Rev. Halls Sunday school, were flower girls.
 Rev. Hall received from one of his congregation a fine horse as a we'd ding present. The many beautiful and useful presents received by the bride from her friends of Yuma valley, Yu- ma, California, Coloardo and from all parts of Arizona, are indeed an evi- dence of the popularity of the bride. Many of the presents are of cut glass and silverware, some of which were sent from Tempe and Phoenix
 The elegant trousseau was a gift from the brides sister-in-law, Mrs. A. . B. Tomlinson, Jr., of Los Angeles. The gifts are still arriving daily.
 Rev. and Mrs. H. P. Hall are in Los Angeles attending the national B. Y. P. U. convention as delegates. From there they will visit the coast resorts of Southern California and return the last of the month to Somerton, where they will be at home to their friends after the 18th of August.

 Through it all MT. Asquith, although the strain must be great, seems IC thrive. He has certainly aged some what, but so have all those who have gone through the last few strenuous years with him. He is still the master of the House of Commons, having no equal, except perhaps MT. Balfour, in debate; while as a political tactician, none come with miles of him. Even should the Ulster question prove to be beyond his powers of getting over difficult situations, he will be able to look back upon a long series of sue cesses.
