REMEDY DEFECTS IN BUTTER
Use of churn Numbers Would Enable
 Inspectors to Sort Out Various Cummings.

Some of the defects noted by butter inspectors of the United States depart ment of agriculture are: Old cream flavor, wavy or mOttled appearance, too much salt, and ieakiness in the butter. These defects are reported to the shipper when the inspection cer. titicate is sent him, so that he may know why his butter scores low and may remedy the detects.
 The use of churn numbers, so that the receivers can more readily sort out separate churnings, IS urged by food product inspectors of the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture. In one lot of butter, for example, the score varied from SS to l92. As no churn numbers were shown the only way the receiver could sep arate the butter was by examining ev cry tub. If churn numbers had been shown it would have been a simple matter to separate the various churn- ings and sell them according to score. i It is not possible to take time to eX- amine every tub, so the butter is sold according to the samples taken, and at Ia discount if the samples vary much. If there should happen to be just one poor tub in the shipment and the sam pier found it, the whole shipment would suffer; while if churn numbers were used, only the tubs in that churn- ing would receive the lower score.

NICHAN MARTIN APPEALS
 TO U. s. SUPREME COURT

Steven Abbey, of Florence, counsel
 for Nichan Martin, who is sentenced to be hanged in the state prison at Florence, on September for the mur- der of Arthur De Steunder, recently announced that he had applied to the supreme court of the United States for writ of error to prevent the ex- ecution. He said that his application for the writ alleged that the federal constitution was violated because Mar tin was not granted speedy trial.
 Mr. Abbey said he expected action on his application early in August. He said that if this step should fail to save Martins life, he had "other things up his sleeve to prevent the hanging"
 Martin was taken into the superior court of Yavapai county and re-sen- tenced to death recently, after the Arizona supreme court had granted writ of certiorari sought by the state after Martin had instituted habeas corpus proceedings the day before he was sentenced to be hanged. At that time, Martins attorneys asked the superior court to set the date of the execution as far in the future as possible because they planned to car ny the case to the United States su- preme court but they did not indicate on what grounds the appeal would be based.

COMPARE FREIGHT RATES
 NOW AND 47 YEARS AGO

Hauling freight by railroads in this part of the country now is just about as expensive as it was nearly fifty years ago when it was necessary to carry the freight part of the distance on mules, according to a story which recently appeared in the hArizona Record. Comparing freight costs now with those of 1876, the paper said:
 "In 1876, Chilson brothers shipped less than a car load of silver ore from Richmond Basin to San Francisco, at a cost of 50 per ton. The ore was packed on mules to the Silver King by wagon from there to Yuma, and thence by boat down the gulf and up the coast to San Francisco, at total cost of $50 per ton
 "A few days since, less than car load Of silver ore was shipped from Richmond Basin to Fl Paso by rail after having been hauled to Globe, at the railroad cost of $40 per ton-a short haul and an increase in rates, considering the distance and method of hauling, after 47 years"

PLAN MORE OSTRICH PLUmEs
South African Raisers of the Birds De. IieVe They Can Largely Increase,
 the Supply.

An effort is being made by South African ostrich farmers to increase the plume quills of ostriches. and Pro lessor Deverden believes this can be ione by as much as 25 per cent, but ". r. Pycraft, the great English nat 1ro!ist, is skeptical.
 The number of plumes from ea0A wing averages SC. and occasionally runs as high as 42 in the South Afri- can ssscies and 30 in the North Afri- can. The latter is the larger bird and it's bones are denser. The Groot- fontein School of Agriculture is-tryine by proper mating to breed a race of 42 plume birds.
 Professor Pycraft writes in the Tllus trated London News that the anceS. tor of the ostrich undoubtedly pos sessed the power of flight. when the wing quflls of the hand numbered l6 while the secondary feathers. attached along the forearm, probably did moi exceed 26. This was the original in. heritance and it can never he in creased, especially now that the whole wing has degenerated into a mere wreck of it's original self.
 There are now about 1.0O0.OOO birds on the African ostrich farms and the value of their exported feathers Is about S15O0O,O0O.

Parker, who is designated 9. democrat in the book, really is a republican, MT. Hall said. The secretary said the mistake was due to an error in an official report on the certified returns that was made while Secretary Of State Sims was in office He said in that report Mr. Parker was designated as a democrat and the list for the Blue Book was prepared from it.

GET FORECASTS BY WIRELESS
Kansas Agricultural College Makes Arrangement to Furnish Farmers
 With Weather Probabilities.

The Kansas Agricultural college has announced that it will furnish the weather forecasts to every Kansas farmer by wireless telegraph. The farmer will be required to install an amateur wireless set with which to receive the forecast These sets cost about $35 each and can be operated by any person. They cannot be used for sending messages for any con- siderable distances but they will re- ceive the powerful messages of the big plants. The forecasts are to be sent out at 9:55 each morning under q standard code and on the wave length of 375 meters, short enough fo, any amateur set to take This wave length is also long enough and the college plant is powerful enough so that the message will reach .. every point in the state. The forecast will be sent at the rate of IS words minute and then repeated af 10 words a minute. The service is to be given free 10 every farmer. high school. or to any other person or institu- tion having a wireless set. The high schools in the small communities are to distribute the forecast 10 the banks and stores and to the telephone com panies. The knowledge of the prob able weather is of considerable i'm portance to farmers during the har- vest and having season, and to stock men during the winter, for they can make. preparations for feeding and sheltering stock upon knowing of an approaching storm.

SETTLERS POURING
 INTO NORTHEN STRIP

Pipe Spring valley, in the north part of Mohave county, about 15 miles south of the line of Utah, is just now in the limelight. At least 100 fam ilies are now camped in the valley, where they are to enter or have en- tered on the public lands of that ter titory. Many of the settlers are breaking up the lands and preparing for the planting Of fall crops. The people who are there were brought in through the efforts of a colonization scheme that is being put over by Los Angeles men. These colonizers look ed over the country embraced in our northern strip and selected Pipe spring valley as the place to operate. Ihis valley is one of the best, so far IS soil and water is concerned, in the state, and the people who have been brought in appear to be perfectly sat .sfied with the arrangement. Water Is to be had close to the surface throughout the valley and the impress sion prevails that big wheat crops will pc readily raised if given proper cul- Hvation.
 In the nearby valleys dry farmers have been raising from 15 to 20 bush els of wheat and rye to the acre and find a good market for the crop. Three harvesters are in operation be- tween the town of Hurricane and Cane Beds.
 Within a year it is expected that Pipe Spring valley will have a town of considerable importance and that the territory surrounding it will be- come one of the most important az regions of the state.- Kingman Miner.

ieanue Covenant In Egperanto.

In the case of most international conventions a version in one language, customariIy French. is taken as the original text. The treaty of Versailles. however. stipulates that the French and English texts shall have equal au- thority. But a perfectly equivalent translation of anything more complex than the multiplication table is i'm possible and already controversies have arisen over supposed discrepan- cies in the two versions.
