working parts, and the machine cannot
do the best work unless each part IL
kept scrupulously clean. The parts
should be taken out, scalded thorough
ly and then dried In the sunlight II
possible. This destroys all bacteria
that may be adhering to the parts and
insures a clean separation for the next
milking.
1t pays to keep close watch on all
the little details as to cleanliness In
regard to the separator, for upon this
depends the value of the machine to
the dairy. A dirty separator Is det-
riment to good buttermaking and con-
sequently loss to the farmer. No one
can tell whether he is making money
in the dairy business or not unless he
keeps record of each cows milk, per-
centage of butter fat contained in this
milk and the amount Of feed 1t takes
to produce this given amount. The
whole dairy business is hinged upon
these three little essentials, and 1t is
a poor manager who tries to get along
without them. Owners should also
study up on balanced rations, so as to
get the best possible returns from their
cows.
The bull is probably the most impor-
tant single factor in the improvement
of the dairy herd He is represented
In each offspring. The proper selec-
ton of bull is therefore very impor-
tant In selecting a bull the produc-
ton of his dam, granddam and more
remote ancestors should be carefully
inquired into, as bull of high pro-
ducing ancestors is more likely to be
the sire of daughters that win be an
Improvement over the dams than Is q
bull which is purchased without any
regard to the performance Of his an
cestors.

1t is a fact that the farmer as a rl,ie
tG putting up far better grade Of
products than was the rule even u
decade ago. This follows as nat
ural result of the improvement in the
methods of handling the dairy prod
ucts and the elimination of most Of the
old system of crooks and pans now
made possible through the use of the
cream separator.
A good cream separator will increase
the efficiency OF the average farm
dairy at least 90 per cent. 1t elm
mates about all the crooks and jars
once necessary under the old methods
of raising cream. 1t cleanses the
milk of any little dirt particles that
may have got into the vessels while
milking and thus insures better
quality of butter than was possible
under the old process. The separator
under even ordinary management gets
lot more butter fat ont of the milk
than farmers ever dreamed was In it
while practicing the old methods of
gain. After you have figured up all
lllS just tOlLSlueT the Nulue Oh ulce
warm skimmilk fresh from the COW
for the pigs and calves.
The labor of the housewife Is greatly
reduced by the cream separator, and at
the same time the capacity for turn
ing out first class butter Is doubled.
Gasoline power is the most econom-
zeal way of running a cream separa-
tor. The proper care and attention to
the handling of this machine are i'm
portant items to be considered In the
work. The parts should be thoroughly
washed and scalded after each opera
ton, especially during the summer
months. 1t is a practice of some to
merely run hot water through the ma
chine and let 1t stand without dis
assembling the parts, but one cannot
hope to produce top notch butter with
such practice. A certain amount of
sediment and grease will remain in the

JOHN MAC DONALD OFF GRADE

Doumecq is rapidly gaining a place
ON the map. As John Macdonald was
coming down the grade with sled load
of grain Tuesday morning his sled and
load went off the grade at the old saw
pit. Ed Mathewson came along in the
nick of time and helped him get his
load back onto the grade. Monday
morning as the White Bird-Boles stage
was making its regular trip up, it is
reported to have gone off the grade
and landed bottom side up at the same
place but the driver escaped injury.
This is the same place where the snow
slide was last week, and also where Ed
Pierce went off the grade one time be-
fore and seems to be rather PREACHER

FORCING RHUBARB.
Method of Securing the Plant For Win
ter Use.

Method of Securing the Plant For Win
ter Use.
Rhubarb plants will be benefited by
replanting the roots every three or four
years, dividing the clumps and setting
them in new, rich ground.
For best results loosen up the soil
fully thirty inches deep, being careful
to leave the subsoil below, working In
manure down about sixteen inches be-
low the surface, using an abundance
of manure. Autumn is a good time to
do this work.
During the growing season keep the
soil loose and mellow and water dur
ing dry weather, giving occasional ap-
plications of manure water.
In gathering the crop do not cut but
pull the leaf stalks and be careful
not to strip the plants entirely. As
soon as the leaves have faded mulch
the plants with manure, which should
be dug in around the plants in the
spring.
Rhubarb Is easily forced for winter
use. Plant strong roots In light, rich
soil In box, water moderately, cover
with straw and place in dark, mod
erately warm cellar or under the green
house benches, hanging curtain down
In front of the bench to shade the
plants from the light. BY planting sew
eral boxes. keeping them in dark,
cool place, placing only box or two
at time In moderately warm temper
allure, rhubarb may be had from
Christmas until late in March.
In the garden the roots may be
forced by covering them with boxes
and covering these with leaves or ma
nure

A NIGHT OF FIRES.

There was much excitement in White
Bird last Friday night which was caused
by several fires which took place that
, evening. The VIM. Newman home was
completely destroyed by fire and all
the contents. Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. Wolf
had rooms at the Newman home and
Mrs. Wolf was alone. Mr.. and Mrs.
Newman had just departed for the
church where series of meetings are
in progress. Mr.. Wolf had not yet re-
! turned home from the Salmon River
Store where he is employed. Mrs.
Wolf had disrobed preparatory to re-
firing and while turning down an oil
stove which was in the room, accidently
overturned it. The stove had Just been
filled and the oil ran over the room,
under the bed and into the corners The
room was soon a mass of flames and as
Mrs. Wolf escaped from it, she dragged
| a trunk after her which stood by the
door and this was all that was saved
from the flames. She fled down the
street in her night dress calling for help
she thought, but party of young folks
assembled at the B. @. Davis home say
they hear only the faintest cries as of
someone in great distress. Rushing out
ing to the gate and the Newman home
! in flames. Mr.. Davis, Jas Calvin and
| Ray Davis ran to the fire to try and
save the contents. While White Bird
people were summoned by cries of fire
and the ringing of bells. But the house
was veritable furnace and it was i'm
possible to make an entrance. The
building was completely demolished in
less than an hour after the fire broke
| out.
At the beginning of the fire Mrs.
| Wolf tried to return to the burning
| building but was held back by Miss
Metcalf and the Misses Berry. 1t is
certainly miraculous that Mrs. Wolf
| escaped without being severely burned,
as the covering on the trunk she saved
was badly scorched and the flames were
shooting out the door above her head
as she left the house.
Mr.. and Mrs Newman had their
house and contents insured for 800,
while this helps some 1t will not cover
the loss Mr.. and Mrs. Wolf had
several trunks of silverware and some
of the very finest of cut glass, also
their clothing. While these were in
sured for $1,000, Mrs. Wolf says nothing
can cover the loss as they were nearly
all the gifts of relatives and friends.
The cellar of the Newman place where
their winter supplies were stored was
saved by much work. The Geo. Behean
barn, also the barn on the Durham
place, both caught Ire from flying
sparks but were noticed before much
damage was done and the flames were
distinguished. This is the third fire for
Mr.. and Mrs. Newman in less than two
years. They were burned out when in
the restaurant and Immediately after
they took possession of the White Bird
hotel fire was started in the closet in
the hall by persons unknown, but was
discovered before it did any damage.
Friday evening the Fem house which
is located in the business district and
occupied by the Cone family, was dis.
covered to be afire in the upper story
around the chimney, but was extin,
guished before it gained much Roadway

Duchess county in New York wasl
named for the Duchess of York when
the colonial assembly In 1853 divided
the province into twelve counties and
shires. There was also Duke coun-
ty, named in honor of the Duke of
York, but that name has since disap-
peared. There has been a good deal
Of discussion as to the presence of

suggested that it has been retained
because Of some association with the
Dutch settlers. But 1t should be re-

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

Although dairying has long been rec.
ogniZed as one Of the best of farm I'm.
dustrfes. there is plenty of evidence
that 1t has not reached Its full develop.
ment and that profits are to be still
higher in the future
Not only have higher prices for milk
and butter added to farm prosperity
but improvements have been made In
handling these products until what
was once drudgery has become a
pleasure as we'll as the source of q
greater profit than the farmer once
dared reckon on. We must believe II
was the greater quantity of an In,
ferior grade of butter that once held
prices to such a low ebb and not the
amount of really good butter that

DIRT KILLS OYSTERS.
These 6ivaives Are tho clsanest Of All
Our Sea Foods.


The following facts about oysters are
given by member of family that
has been connected with the oyster
trade for 800 years;
The average oyster before suitable
for consumption Is between three and
four years of age. They are undoubt-
eddy the cleanest as well as the most
nutritious of fish, for 1t is fact that If
anything in the way of dirt gets into
the shell of any oyster it Immediately
dies.
The embryo oyster when 1t Is about
twelve months old Is planted In the
most suitable waters. The young oys-
tiers are taken out in fiat bottomed
boats. shoveled overheard in likely
spots and allowed to remain there till
they are sizable and ready for catch
ing. This is done by means of dredges,
which go over the oyster beds with q
large rake arrangement dragging from
ropes on the bottom of the sea, the
oysters being thus forced from the bed
into the large nets fastened to the In
side of the rake.
The breeding powers of oysters are
simply amazing, and 1t has been COM
puted that 1000 full grown parents
produce 44O,000,0O0 embryos in the
course of year. But of these 1t is es-
timated that only 421 individuals reach
maturity, for the mortality Is enor-
nous, millions being washed away and
deyoured by hungry fishes.-Buffalo

Of holder of wire, about which the
surplus cord Is wound. with looplike
coils on each end.
The length of cord is secured around
this, and after sufficient portion has
been left free for use the cord is
passed between the loops of one end
or the other. This holder may be laid
on the edge of the work and will there
support the plumb bob without the
necessity of any stay TO hold 1t.
