army. disclosed the fact that by Jan. 1

President Wilson's determination I'd
meet Germany's supreme efforts with
the utmost OF Americas available man

month 276,372 were sent away, making

From Plane.
Lake Charles, La.--Maj. John Pur.
roy Mitchell, former mayor of New
York City and an officer In the avia.
tion section of the signal corps, was
instantly killed 1t Gerstner field when
he fell from q single-seated scout plane

that NAL Mitchell had failed to do
this, or that the belt became broken,
was not stated. Maj Mitchell had
been in the air about half an hour

The maintenance usually runs up
to considerable annual cost, and 1t
II this maintenance that usually Is
neglected by county commissioners
and road supervisors.
AS good an illustration Of road
maintenance as / have been able to
find is that practiced by New Hamp-
shire. New Hampshires roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as 1t is
placed upon the road, but in many
places this is impossible on account
of the expense and in these places the
grnvel is simply spread upon the road
and left for the traffic to, compact.
Many of these roads have to bear
fairly heavy traffic, especially dur
Ing the summer months. most of
which Is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were It
not for the maintenance feature Of

DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
Much Of the Wear and Tear on Hard
Road Can Be Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each Side.

Dirt roads are the cheapest-and
for a large part Of the year the best
highways that can be built. Because
we want to use our roads every day In
the year we are willing to go to the
expense Of hard road building, but
that is no reason for discarding tie
dirt roads entirely.
More than half the wear on the hard
road can be avoided by making a good
dirt track on each side. People will
use the dirt road from preference
when 1t Is passable. The life of the
hard road will be greatly heightened,
the cost of repairs reduced. and the
needs Of the road users better served
by building this combination of hard
and dirt roads.

following outline of the essential
steps to be taken in making good
farm butter:
Details in Process of Butter Making.
~ Produce clean milk and cream.
Cool the cream Immediately after it
comes from the separator. Clean and
sterilize all utensils.
(2) Ripen or sour the cream at
from IS degrees to rs degrees F. un-
til mildly sour. Always use a Their
mometer in order to know that the
right temperature is reached.
(3) Cool the cream to churning
temerature or below, and hold at that
temperature for at least two hours
before churning.
az Use a churning temperature
usually between So and 65 degrees F.
that will require 30 or 40 minutes to
obtain butter.
(5) Clean and scald the churn,
then half fill with cold water
and revolve until churn is
thoroughly cooled, after which empty
the water.
(6) Pour the cream into the churn
through a strainer.
ca Add butter color-from 20 to
IS drops to a gallon of cream-ex-
cept late in the spring ard early in
the summer.
~ Put the cover on tight, revo've
the churn several times; stop with
bottom up, and remove stopper to
permit escape of gas; repeat until no
more gas forms.
(9) Continue churning until butter
granules are formed the size of grains
Of wheat.
C1O) Draw off the buttermilk
throug the hole at the bottom of the
churn, using a strainer to catch par
ticles of butter. When the buttermilk
has drained out, replace the cork.
(11) Prepare twice as much wash
water as there is b~uttermilk, and at
about the same temperature. Use
the thermometer; do not guess at
temperatures. Put one-half the water
into the churn with the butter.
(12) Replace the cover and revolve
the churn rapidly a few times, then
draw off the water. Repeat the wash
ing with the remainder of the water.

NO HARD COAL.

A communication has been received
by the Valley county fuel committee
from W. H. Swindlehurst, fuel admin
istrator for Montana, that it will be
practically impossible for Montana
to secure anthracite or hard coal. 1t
is the sense Of the fuel administration
that they urge every resident who has
Equipment for burning hard coal to
make a change as SOC as possible, so
that they will be able to use the home
product. It is expected that each
state in the union will be divided un-
der the zone system and when it is
estimated it may become necessary
that the people Of Valley county use
