SEvENTY-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS

Nineties, Reduced by Over $5,Ooo==-Re-
ceipts of Year 1914 Exceed Expenses

An aggregate of $4,000 on the
red side of the ledger was the finan-
cial condition of the city of Pullman
at the beginning of the present cal
endaf year, according to the annual
financial statement just prepared by
City Treasurer j. s. Clark. At the
beginning of the year 1914 the total
municipal debt was approximately
S57, 1000, the increase being occa-
stoned by the floating of $4,000
bonds during the past summer for
improvements and additions to the
municipal water system, the bonds
being authorized by special election.
Aside from the water bond item, the
debt was decreased during the year
by approximately $4,000. When COM
pared with Colfax and other Inland
Empire towns, Pullman's financial
condition is excellent. One of the
largest items of debt is $8410.31 in
old general fund warrants, issued in
the early nineties. The interest on
these warrants is twice the amount

GIRL WAS NOT "FIBBING"
Very Good Reason Why Mrs. Adams
Was Unable to Receive Call
Of Her Pastor.

Rev. DR.. Smith was acknowledged a
great preacher and he was also a
close student. But he was no pastor
and had horror Of making personal
calls. One day he heard an address
which convinced the dear old man
that by not visiting his parishioners
he had not perhaps fulfilled his duties
as spiritual leader. SO he determined
to call on each member of his church,
and taking the roster Of the church
he decided to do it alphabetically. The
first name was Mrs. Adams, SO to Mrs.
Adams house resolutely went the
faithful pastor next afternoon. But
Mrs. Adams was not at home, said
the maid.
Not at homer" echoed the pastor.
"N-no, sir" answered the somewhat
embarrassed girl.
But the pastor, not knowing why
she was embarrassed, thought per-
haps the girl was "fibbing," so he
persisted.

asked

PRODUCT OF THE DAIRY cow
Infection of Milk Comes From Body

Sanitary for Barn.

prepared by Dairy Division Of Clemson
College)
The Babcock test was first an.
nounced to the world in 1890
The greatest source of infection in
milk comes from the body of the ami
NAL and the air of the stable
Anything that will make it easier to
clean the stable will aid in the pro.
duction Of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds
the most sanitary for dairy barn and
should be used wherever possible.
In building dairy barn, remember
that one is providing place where
human food is to be produced.
Early breeding stunts growth
Heifcrs should be bred to drop their
calves when about two years old or
older.
AS rule, it is desirable to have
COWS go dry at least a month before
calving This has beneficial effect
on the calf
Dehorning is a good practice. 1t
makes COWS quiet and docile and saves
them much pain that may be inflicted
when horns are retained.
Dairy COWS have little spare flesh to
protect them from the cold Comfort
able housing in winter is, therefore,
very important.
The liquid manure Of COW is much
more valuable than the solid. IT can
be saved by having watertight floor
ing and clean straw bedding.

MANNER OF SEALING A SILO
Where Silage Is to Stand for Some
Time Before Feeding Covering
of Some Kind Is Made.
Ry J. G. WATSON, Missouri College of

Cry ]. G. WATSON, Missouri College of
AgriCulture)
There is always some loss on the
top Of the silage unless feeding is be-
gun as soon as the slo is filed Where
the silage is to stand for some time be-
fore feeding it is customary to run in
three or four loads of cornstalks from
which the ears have been removed
This material is packed thoroughly;
then liberal supply OF water Is
added, which will help to seal the silo,
and only a very small amount OF
waste will result Some farmers use
oat straw as covering; others soak
the top of the silago with water and
SOW oats, which, when they germi-
nate, form dense mass, which shuts
out the air and keeps the silage from
spelling.
