young chap is typical of the breed,

and above all plenty of quality.
His length of body, with well

GUARD AGAINST
NOTIFIED BUTTER

Notified butter is frequently
found on the market at this time
of the year, and, even, though il
may be of very good flavor, it is
strongly Disseminated against by
the purchaser. AS this defect is
one of workmanship, it can be
overcome by the application OF
proper methods on the part OF the
butter-maker.
Notifies are caused primarily by
an uneven distribution of salt in
the butter. This may be produced
by insufficient working OF the but
ter or by churning, and working it
at a very low temperature, or by
washing or working it at temp
erature several degrees higher or
lower than the churning tempera-
ture.
When the quality of butter
made in one churning is mucn
less than usual, it is necessary to
work il a greater number Of revo-
lutions of the churn than usual in
order to produce the same results
on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures OF
ehurnlng, washing, and working
should be avoided, because they
produce so firm a butter that it is
only with great difficulty that the
salt can be worked uniformity in
to it. High temperatures OF
churning, washing, and working
must also be avoided to prevent
an abnormal loss of fat in the but
ter, also the making of a greasy,
leaky butter.
Great variations in temperature
during the manufacturing process
Il ls1t-. ! 4El
should always be avoided. Under
normal conditions the tempera-
ture OF the wash water should be
the same as, or within two de-
grees of, that of the buttermilk.
When the churn room is so
cold that the butter becomes
chilled before working is COM
pleted, mottled butter is frequent
ly the result. To prevent this is
preferable to increase the amount
of working rather than to raise
the temperature of the wash wa
ter.
Notified butter, then, may be
prvented by using methods that
will insure uniform distribution
of salt.

TRUSTEES TO
file BUDGET

The governmental affairs of the
State OF Nevada, in all its branch
es, is supposed to be operated on
the budget basis and the Nevada
Tax Commission has met with
serious stumbling block in its
demands for district special school
budgets by the contention of a
number of district attorneys that
section 1907 of the revised laws
OF Nevada, 1912, gave the boards
OF school trustees the right to de-
mand of the boards of county
commissioners that they levy an
arbitrary mileage rate on all prop
erty within the district, regardless
of the actual amount OF money
required or the actual assessed
valuation of the territory asses
sed.
Commissioners Adamson recent
ly took the matter up with the at
torney general, citing in support
of his contention subdivision Is of
section 3305, revised laws of Ne
vada, wherein district special
school budgets are absolutely re-
quired under parallel conditions
with levies provided for in section
1907.
The encouragement has up
held the contention of the COM
missioner's Interpretation in every
detail, and complete budgets will
be demanded beginning with the
current year. This will unques-
tionably result in more equitable
distribution OF the school burden
than has formerly been possible,
as is shown by the following illus
tration:
In the past the board of school
trustees in a certain district,
which for the proceeding year had
an assessed valuation of 81 ,00O.-
0O0, should decide that they re-
quired a special levy to produce
1000 The custom has been to di-
rect the board of county commits
sioners to make a mileage levy.
In the meantime additional prop
erty has come into being within
that particular district which
triples the assessment valuation.
The mileage levy is fixed and then
produces three times the actual
special requirements and il the
trustees hold themselves within
the limits of their original esti-
mate, the excess of $1,000 at the
end of the year reverts to the gem
eral school fund and disbursed
by the Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, in accordance with
the law, throughout the various
districts of the State.-Carson

THE PRODUCTION
Of ANTIMONY

The largest production of anti
mony was made from deposits
near Wild Rose Springs. on the
northwest slope Of Telescope
Peak in the Panamint range, Cali
fornia. These deposits have been
known for many years but have
been too far from railroads for
profitable exploitation until the
past year when prices were high
and branch railroad was built
to Trona on Borax Lake, within
about twenty-five miles of them.
The deposits contained consider
able antimony ochre as we'll as
stibnite and were mined by the
Merchants Finance Co., West
ern Metals Coz The same COM
pany operated deposits 80 miles
northeast of Mojave, which are
ten miles from the S. P. r. R., in
Kern Co. Other deposits were
mined in California at many
points in Kern county, in the east
ern end of San Benito county, and
on Moore's Flat near Grass Val
ley. In Nevada considerable
quantities were mined at manv
points mostly in the northwest
quarter of the State, with Love-
lock as a center, but ranging from
Pass canyon in the Pine Forest
range southwark to the vicinity
OF Tonopah and eastward to JOY
Oregon, Washington and Ida
no produced small tonnages of ore
and in Arkansas company was
organized to work old properties
west of Gillian.
The Chapman Smelling Com
pany of San Francisco which had
ben idle for a number of years
again started the smelling of anti
mony ores. The company mined
ore at Bernice, 90 miles east of
Fallon, Nevada, and bought ores
from other points in the Western
States, Alaska and British Colum-
bia.
The Merchants Finance Co.
built an antimony smelter at In
dustrial Harbor, Los Angeles. Be-
sides operating California mines
the company operated mines in
Nevada and bought ores from the
Western States, Alaska, and for
egn countries.
The Antimony Smelling and
Refining Company OF Seattle
started a plant at Van ASSET the
last of the year and made oxide,
but metal is to be smelted also.
The International Smelling Co.
bought ores to be smelted at its
South Chicago plant. The Great
Western Smelling and Refining
Co., OF Chicago and the Pennsyl-
vania Smelling Co. Of Pittsburgh
have also smelted some ores. The
Magnolia Metals Co. found SO
much difficulty in obtaining need
ed supplies of antimony at a reas-
enable price that it bought and
mined ores in Nevada, smelling
them at Brooklyn. 4,
Harshaw, Fuller and Goodwin
Co., of Cleveland were in the mar
ket for pure ores from which to
make antimony salts, heretofore
made from Chinese crude anti
mony.'

you hardly get enough nourishment

the Lyceum theatre, New London,
matinee and night Monday, March IS,
under the direction of John Cort. The
book and lyrics of this delightful
three-act comet opera are by Henry

This is the combination that gave

The Prima Donna, and The Only Girl
In The Princess Pat the authors have
added to their already enviabIe repu-
tation. The opera has an abundance
Of humor and sweet charm, both in

DAVIS THEATRE
New Vaudeville Acts Today and Big
Feature Acknowledgements Or
chestra Under the Direction Of c.
A. Dowsett.

There will be a complete change
of vaudeville at this theatre today
and the three acts billed for the last
half of this week are all topnotchers.
The headline attraction is Jones ana
Sylvester, who present novel com
edy singing sketch called Idano. This
is somewhat different from the usual
vaudeville offerings and is sure to
be a big hit with the patrons of this
theatre. Another big time act Is
Lynch and Zeller, who have a scream
ing funny comedy offering that is
called The Club Maniacs. This act
has been playing return engagements
in all the big Keith theatres and will
surely be a treat for those who en-
joy good, clean comedy while they are
here. The third act is Alice Tuttle
a clever little woman, who presents
a singing and character change act.
She has a beautiful voice and gets
her songs over to the pleasure of ev-
eryone who hears her. In the photo
plays today the feature is the big ES
sanay production, The Misleading
Lady, produced in five acts with Hen
ry B. Walthall and Edna Mayo as the
stars. Mr.. Walthall will be remem-
bered for the excellent acting he dis
played in The Birth of Nation,
which was shown at this theatre some
time ago, and he uphOlds his reputa-
ton in this feature for clever and ar
tistic acting. There is also a two
reel Keystone comedy on the bill
called He Did and He Didn't, featur-
ing Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Nor
mand, two of the most popular fun
makers on the screen today. This is
a show you do not want to miss. Ev-
erything is good and nothing can Of
fend the most exacting. AS a special
feature the orchestra has been en-
larged and under the direction of Mr.
Dowsett the music is worth the price
of admission alone. Matinee at ola
All seats 10 cents.
