u. S. Gives Advice About Milk

A hot weather hint for the What
com County dairy men is included
in a report of the Department Of
Agriculture this week.
Zone of the most common causes
of poor-quality butter is the lack of
immediate, thorough cooling of the
cream after separation" says the
report. THE Dairy Division of the
department has made careful in
vestigatiOn of conditions on large
number of dairy farms and the data
obtained show that, If properly cool
ed. cream of the best grade can be
produced with but little extra labor
or expense. The principles involved
are very simple and are easily under
stood.
"A liberal use of ice which has
been stored in winter to be used
the following summer is one of the
requirements for the solution of the
poor-butter problem. Farmers who
are already successfully delivering
good products TO the creamery have
usually provided for themselves u
convenient source of supply for the
ice, suitable houses for storing the
ice. and ice water tanks for the i'm
mediate cooling of the milk and
cream. In parts of New England, I,
although the dairymen often hOld
cream on the farms four days in the
summer and seven days in the win

product while sweet, After it reach

800 miles, and may still be soid

of sweet cream

WHAT A YEAR WILL DO

The year 1915 will do much for
this community if We but give it an
opportunity.
of plenty-and, we trust, of peace.
But to secure the best results for
our own people it is necessary that
we stand together-that We cooper
ate-that we labor one for the other
as we'll as for self.
The prosperity of a community is
dependent largely upon the amount
of money in circulation in the COM
munity.
Money is present day necessity
and without it no community can
survive.
1t would seem, therefore that
about the best course We could pur-
sue would be about as follows:
l. Produce as much as possible
not only for home consumption
but also for export.
2. Buy from distance only what
is absolutely necessary, aud that
cannot be had from the home dealer
3. Push the business of every
W tue ilIHit, ioi
every dollar that is brought into the
community, anL remains here, makes
the community as whole just that
much richer.
4. Devise some means for in
creasing the output of the farms
and study methods for securing the
best returns for marketed products
5. If farmer wants to hold his
crops for higher prices see that he
has the money to tide him over, for
his increased returns means that
much added wealth to the commun-
ity as whole.
6. Find something for everyone
to do-something that will enrich
the community as we'll as the indi-
vidual. Drones are dead weight
wherever found.
A year of this medicine will bring
healthy glow to the community
cheek, and will inspire that con-
ffdence and self reliance which al
ways brings success.

Java,s Teak Forests.

Teak forests in Java cover 1,4SO, 600
acres. and. as the area reforested is
two and a half times as large as the
area felled in given time. this magni.
ficent stock of timber Is continually
increasing. A pest OF the Java teak
plantation is alang grass Qmperata
arundinacae). In order to prevent the
incursion Of this plant, as hoeing is too
expensive. the foresters sow legu-
minous plant, luecena glauca, between
the rows Of teak seedlings. This chOkes
the alang. keeps the soil clean and en-.
riches the soil in humus and nitrogen,
and ultimately disappears with the In
crease Of the forest cover.

The economy trend on the part
of the House committee may result
in cutting down the proposed w,

The two committees are jointly worf

The House of Representatives got
through it's first weeks s session with
but $4,000 appropriated and only
eleven bills introduced. The appro-
priation was for the expenses OF the
legislature and for the printing OF
bills.

DEATH THE LEvELER.
The glories Of our birth and
state
Are shadows, not substantial
things;
. There Is no armor against fate
Death lays his icy hand on
kings
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And In the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe
and spade.
The garlands wither on your
brow;
Then boast no more your
mighty deeds.
Upon deaths purple altar. now
See where the victor victim
bleeds!
All heads must come
To the cold tomb.
Only the actions Of the just
Smell sweet and blossom In the
dust

Whatcom County optimism from
the South Bellingham Sentinel:
1.-The starting up of many lumber
mills in Bellingham and throughout
the county means that the year of
1915 will be a hummer in the way OF
business. There are thousands of
men work today who, prior to
the first of the month, were idle,
and many did not know where the
next dollar was coming from. Now
that all are at work at fairly good
wages there is no reason why all
should not be in prosperous con-
dition by the time this year termin-
ates"

Painting the Features.

the new trade slogan, Made IN the
u. s. A." will have a direct bearing
in shifting the center of doll manufac-
ture from Europe to America.
The following toys are now made
In this country from American woods:
Toy animals, blocks, cannon and forts,
children's chair, circus sets, dolls, doll
furniture, games, Christmas tree hold
ers. swing jumpers, children's pianos,
pastry sets, babies play yards, toy
shooting galleries, hobby horses, pop
guns, toy wagons, toy autos and wheel
barrows. Basswood is the principal
material for wooden toys and for
wooden parts Of metal toys. The bass
wood DOLL in particular, is unique and
ingenious. All parts of it are made
of wood and are artistically carved
and enameled in color. 1t is difficult
to tell that it is made of wood when 1t
Is finished. The various parts or the
body are Joined with steel bands which
not only give great heXibility and free
dom Of movement, but together with
the wood make the doll practically In
destructible.
Next to Eastwood, sugar maple,
beech. birch and white pine are the
principal woods used for toys, al
though elm, oak chestnut, ash, yell
low poplar and others enter into toy
manufacture. Pennsylvania, which
stands first among the states in toy
manufacture, alone uses the equivalent
of nearly 6.500.0O0 board feet of tim
Der for toys, with total value of
$1S2OO0 each year. The total amount
of wood used annually in the United
States for toy manufacture is nearly
100000 feet, and the principal toy
manufacturing states after Pennsyl-
vania are, in order, Wisconsin, Maine.
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
Eastwood is the favorite for such
toys as toy animals, boats, dolls, circus
sets and childrens pianos. Blocks and
dolls furniture and toy vehicles are
generally made of white pine. Stick
horses, with horses head and
stick to ride upon, a more pretentious
variation of the old fashioned broom
horse, are likely to be made of white
pine. although the stick head may be

1t must not be supposed, however,
that little girls will have to go with

facturers in the United States are
turning out dolls by the thousands
and they are Of the very best type.
One large factory in PHILADELPHIA is

type of indestructible doll from bass
wood, which is a light and easily
worked material and is not likely to
split or break. Those who have made
a study OF this manufacture, in con-
nection with the study of the wood-us-
ing industries of the state Of Pennsyl-
vania, predict that dolls of the type
made by this and other similar fac
tories can gain first place for America
in this branch Of manufacture. Thus,

The reindeer are harnessed and ready
For their Christmas eve drive through
the sky;
They whinny and stamp; sleigh bells
Jingle.
And old Santa Claus sledge Is piled
high
With an abundance Of toys, books and
goodies
For all good little boys and girls;
Santall fill up the stockings while the
clock is tick-tocking,
And the snow flakes drift down in
whirls.
He'll slide down the chimney as usual
Fat, jolly, red-faced full of glee-
He's been keeping tab on each one Of you;
In the picture he's locking to see
Which kiddies have minded their parents,
Which youngsters have done as they
ought;
If you have been good and done as you
Should,
Old Santall bring you lot
See! He's looking his list of names over,
Yes, and scratching the naughty ones
out;
If Freddie had minded his mamma
Today he'd never need doubt
That Santa would fill up his stocking;
And If Maize hadn't been bad,
