LIFT
Decision to put a Non-Partisan
ticket into the field this fall was
taken at an enthusiastic meeting in
this city last Saturday. at which l..
l.. Snow presided, and Travis Aver,
a leader among the younger Grange
workers, was secretary. Representa-
tive farmers of different parties at
tended the meeting, participated in
its deliberations and joined in the
decision to launch a Non-Partisan
ticket.
Preceding the general meeting at
which this action was taken, the
Democratic county central committee
met in formal session at the call Of
Chairman R. M. Fuller, some Is
members attending. A general dis
cussioR of the advisability of a
straight Democratic ticket or a Nom
Partisan ticket was had, the unani-
nous opinion being in favor of the
latter course. The committee then
adjourned and it's members partici-
pated in the general meeting which
followed.
Want Best Candidates.
Emphasis at this meeting was laid
upon the character Of the candidates,
insistence being placed upon the in
dividual ability of the candidates, re-
gardless Of party Affiliations. and a
determination expressed that the
best possible men would be urged to
file for the different Offices on the
Non-Partisan ticket. In line with
this policy was the further one, ex-
pressed by several who attended the
meeting. that the Non-Partisan COM
mittee endorse candidates for differ
ent offices in the Republican prima-
ries, whom it thought capable of
filing the Offices to which they aspire
and so entitled to general support.
The launching Of a Non-Partisan
ticket fulfllls the platform adopted by
Thurston county Democrats in their

There is grave danger, say special
lists in the United States department of
agriculture, that all the white pine for
ests in the country may be seriously
injured by the spread of the white pine
blister rust. This disease is now
known to exist in New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York and Pennsylvania. Owners of
white pine in every state, however, are
urged to be on the lookout for it.
The disease has caused enormous
loss in Europe. whence it was brought
into the United States, and if it is not
controlled there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will cause proportionate
damage here. Trees which have been
attacked by it do not recover. The
younger ones die. In the case of older
growth, parts only may be killed, but
in the course of time the damage fire.
quently becomes SO extensive that the
tree, even if it still lives, is worthless.
AS the value of white and sugar pine
in this country is estimated at approx
mately $42G,OOO,OOO, the importance of
checking the spread of the disease is
obvious.
The white pine blister rust is caused
by a fungus somewhat similar to the
fungi which are responsible for wheat
rust and cedar apple rust. This fungus
% 20 min ~ hnnrs fhoiIs r1no1inC in
punches of five each, a classification
which includes twelve native varieties
and nine imported ones. In addition to
these species, both wild and cultivated
currants and gOoSeberries are not only
susceptible to the disease but are es-
sential to it's spread. The complicated
part which these plants play in the dis
semination of the rust is explained in a
new publication of the department,
Farmers Bulletin 742.
In this bulletin, too, the characteris-
tic symptoms of the disease are de-
scribed with Illustrations. The easiest
for the ordinary tree owner to detect
are the irregular swellings in the bark
which may appear at any time from a
few months to six years after infec-
tiOn. In the spring the fruiting bodies
of the parasites thrust themselves
from within through the swollen bark
and form whitiSh blisters as large as
a child's finger nail. After a few days
the bIisters break and disclose bright
yellow dusty spores, which are blown
about by the wind. In order to per-
petuate themselves these spores must
alight on the leaves of currants or

gooseberries. An examination of such
bushes in the vicinity of white pine is,
therefore, essential in ascertaining the
extent of the disease and the prObabil-
ity of further infection.
From June 1 till the time the leaves
fall, the bushes should be searched for
the mealy yellow masses which, hardly
larger than q pinhead, may yet be so
abundant as to cover large part Of
the lower surface of the leaf. Later
in the fall the lower surface of the leaf
is also marked by short, hairy out
growths.
1t is known that the rust was brought
into this country in nursery stock from
Europe. Trees grown from such i'm
ported stock, therefore, are much more
likely to be infected than those raised
from seed in this country. for the rust
cry stock only. Owners of planted
trees, therefore, are urged to investi-
gate the history of their trees even
when they show no evidence Of infec-
ton. If it cannot be proved that the
trees were grown from seed in this
country, they should be watched close
ly and continually for dead tops and
side branches. If there is any reason
to suspect the existence of the rust
arrangements can be made with the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton for an inspection by experts. This
inspection is regarded as a most nee
essary measure for the protection not
only of the owner of the Individual
stand in question but for the protection
of every owner of white pine in the
neighbOrhood. The destruction of i'll
fected stock is imperative if the spread
of the disease is to be checked.
Another precautiOn urged In the bull
Ietin already mentioned is the require
ment, in purchasing trees, Of a guaran'
ty that they have been raised under
conditions which effectuaIly have safe
guarded them from danger.

IMPORTANT ARTICLE OF FOOD
Butter Is ree-Times-a-Day Necessity
on TabIes-CIeanIiness Is
Great Essential.

Good butter, next to good bread, Is
and as it is a three-times-a-day ne
ceSsity on our tables, its proper MAX
ing is of great Importance. Successful
butter-making depends most of all on
cleanliness of stables, cows, mixers
and pals, along with q clean. we'll
ventilated dairy room and utensils.
Everyone needs fat, and butter is the
most wholesome as well as most agree
able way of taking it into the system.
Cream absorbs whatever odOr sur
rounds it and then passes it on to the
butter, so milk should not be kept in
the kitchen where cooking is done,
and especially if the men of the family
have the habit of smoking there, as
this gives it very disagreeable taste.
Butter made from well-ripened cream
has the best flavor, and to obtain this
ripening before the cream is so old as
to become rancid, "starter" of q
tablespoonful or two of thick sour milk
is usually added to the new milk when
set to raise.
Butter churned from perfectly sweet
cream has less flavor, but some people
prefer it. It is a mistake to churn
butter at too high a temperature in
order to make it come quickly, for it
contains more buttermilk, is apt to be
greasy and pale in color. If the cream
must be kept for several days before
churning, it should be in a cool place.
If for any reason the churn is not per-
fectly sweet after thorough washing
and scalding, rinse it well with cold
time water.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an.
oual convention of Saskatchewan
Oalfymen'S association, reviewed pro-
Sress OF 1915 which shows a great In
crease tn the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
potter IN outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to.
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin Just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year In 1916. There was an
increase Of over 100000 lbs. Of cream.
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over 25,OOO
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $427, 900. The
pFoduetion Of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was Also, ,444 lbs
ana II brought an average price OF &c
per h.; Of creamery butter 5.839, ,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per ID. on the average; cheese pro-
duetiOn was T26.725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2,760,698, In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $925, $50
and the cream at $15S,S27, the average
price Of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per ID. and of sweet cream at 32c
per ID. butterfat- In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, ,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
Is given as 631,O ,O05, which is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. ii, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
CardSton, Alberta. creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons a rate Of 271kc per
ID. for butter fat and had a profit re-
manning over all expenses of $5,5S4
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-
factured 25600O lbs. butter and 1900
lbs cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2814 cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
ddced 2.525,O00 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.

analyses of the vital organs of the
COWS used in the experiments revealed
nothing abnormal. Considering the
fact that the strongest alkali well wa

clude that the alEali disease of cows
is not produced by drinking alkali wa

This conclusion does not include wa

Such water is usually very strong
